Round 4 – Free Agency: Draft order will be reverse of how I have the companies listed above. Roster size is fixed, so you have to drop somebody to pick up somebody. It has to be like for like – male wrestler for male wrestler, ancillary for ancillary, tag team for tag team. Once you drop somebody, they join free agency. This is a 1985 draft so if you draft somebody you get them as they were during that period. You can’t draft people retired prior to 1985 or who debuted after. If you’re drafting someone, be able to prove they worked a match or wrestling show at some point in 1985. Free agency continues until everyone finalizes their roster. Once you call your free agency and finalized your roster, you can’t reopen it.
Many might remember the current promotion/brand fantasy booking challenge I ran last fall. This is similar, but using historic rosters from 1985. The year was chosen as being one of the last strong years of the territory system and the year of the first Wrestlemania.
Looking for eight players. Will be divided into two divisions of four teams. Everyone writes three cards and faces everyone in their division. Division winners square off in a finals.Each player will be randomly assigned a roster based on a 1985 wrestling company/brand. More on those rosters below. Companies/brands are WWF, NWA, AWA, Mid-South, World Class, CWA, CWF and Lutte International.
Round 1 – Franchise Tags: Everyone can franchise three players. One male wrestler, one ancillary and one tag team. Franchise players cannot be traded or dropped for any reason. Franchise tags must be declared within 24 hours of being assigned a roster.
Round 2 – Roster Swaps: You can trade your brand/company, minus the wrestlers you have franchised, for any other brand/company. Open for 24 hours. Only rosters can be traded during this time, but agreements can be made for future talent trades.
Round 3 – Trading: You have up to three trades per company/brand (meaning you have a total of 21 trades). Trades must be even – male wrestler for male wrestler, ancillary for ancillary, tag team for tag team. If you want to use your three trades all on male wrestlers, or two male wrestlers and a tag team, that’s fine; but the individual trade has to be like for like. Open for 48 hours.
Round 4 – Free Agency: Draft order will be reverse of how I have the companies listed above. Roster size is fixed, so you have to drop somebody to pick up somebody. It has to be like for like – male wrestler for male wrestler, ancillary for ancillary, tag team for tag team. Once you drop somebody, they join free agency. This is a 1985 draft so if you draft somebody you get them as they were during that period. You can’t draft people retired prior to 1985 or who debuted after. If you’re drafting someone, be able to prove they worked a match or wrestling show at some point in 1985. Free agency continues until everyone finalizes their roster. Once you call your free agency and finalized your roster, you can’t reopen it.
When you write your cards, anything goes. If you want to break up tag teams, or form new tag teams, or have women fight men, you can do anything with the roster once it’s finalized.
