It's been silent around here for about a month, would anyone be up for a wrestling draft? I could run a standard draft, or this tweaked variation of one of Leo's suggestions from a previous thread: a stipulation is assigned to each 1 or 2 rounds that dictates what names we can draft. Everyone who signs up would contribute 2 or 3 stipulations to the pool, which would then be randomized and assigned to different rounds. The stipulations won't be surprises, they will be posted right along with the draft order. And Leo, since this is based off of one of your ideas, if you don't want me to run it so that you can keep it in your pocket for a future draft, just let me know. Just throwing this out there to try to fill the void.

Set to start soon after 8/17.

I would be on board for doing the stipulation draft and I'm perfectly fine with you running it as I probably wouldn't be up for commissioning something right now. I'd be happy to contribute some stipulations as I've thought about some that would probably work well. But also interested to see what others would come up with.

[cletusegw]

I'm up for this

[DevSop]

Always

[MayhemNX]

I’d be in. Sorry I never got any traction on the other idea.

[Sportsguy]

ONLY if you need someone to make it an even number for showdown purposes.

[Matte]

I'll give the sign-up another week or so before cancelling if nobody else jumps in (I'd say 8 players is our minimum). Tell your friends.

I can play if it’s starting the 17th or later.

[Road Warrior Shark]

If someone reminds me, I will try and vote, but yeah, no way I have the time right now.

This works.

Now we're just looking for 2 more players to make this a sure thing.

Sure.

[Matte]

We're at 8 with SG volunteering to round us out. If anyone knows someone who might be interested but maybe hasn't checked in recently, that could help bump SG off the list.



In the mean time, I guess I can start collecting some draft stipulations from the crew. Everyone can submit 2 stipulations, which will be randomized and assigned to every other round (planning on 32 rounds with 40 draft picks total, later rounds will have double picks as we've done for the last few drafts). Post them here or PM to me.

[MayhemNX]

Are we keeping things simple like No One Whose worked for company x/held championship x or odder stuff like No one with the letter E in their name.

[Matte]

Stipulations can be as simple or as crazy as you want.

[Sportsguy]

Ah, if anyone else was interested they would have signed up by now. Consider me in fully I guess.

Two Stips:

Former WCW/NWA or WWF Champion

Wrestlers who've appeared in movies

[DevSop]

Has not won any major (WWE/WCW/NWA/NXT/AEW/ROH/TNA/NJPW/NOAH/AJPW/AAA/CMLL/ECW/AWA) company's top title - I think those hit the biggest companies, might be missing one or two.

Has lost a mask or hair match.

[Leo]

One more stipulation from Solly and two from Cletus and we'll be good to go.

Anyone have a way of contacting Cletus? I could put everything together tomorrow night or Thursday if I get his two stipulations in.
