Okay, it looks like this is the next one we're doing. Since there's generally more interest in wrestling drafts than there is in the others, I'm going to tentatively set Monday, Jan 25, at noon ET (that's no one cares o'clock your time, Byrnie) as the start time to make sure that everyone who wants in has time to get in. If you know of people who may be interested but don't come around very often, let them know this is happening.
In the meantime, use this thread as a signup sheet. If your name's currently on the "Who's In" list below, please confirm that you're still interested. I got that list from the people who said they'd be interested in the Next Showdown thread, but some of those posts are over a month old.
Depending on how much interest there is, we'll each draft 3 teams of 5. We've got 13 guys drafting, so that's 195 total picks.
As far as team makeup goes, that's up to you. you can put clear-cut faces and heels on the same team, but the odds of that team making it anywhere in the showdown will be slim.
Here's the rules:
DRAFT
POST-DRAFT VOTING
TBD -- this will likely work like the Villain Draft, since there were the same number of teams involved.
Who's In
Hodgey
Angst
Solly
Eco
Dashbee
Sportsguy
Gator
Baron
Byrnie
Sop
UJob
Pun
Moose

Here's the rules:
DRAFT
- Everyone drafts 3 teams of 5 wrestlers.
- Every professional wrestler ever is eligible. No backyard-only guys, though.
- Once a wrestler is taken, all characters played by that wrestler come off the board too. (To use a comic book example, you can't draft Bruce Wayne AND Batman.)
- No managers/announcers/GMs/mascots/valets -- just the 5 wrestlers per team who will participate in the match.
- If any question arises as to the eligibility of a pick, it will be up to the person making the pick to provide evidence of eligibility -- it's a big Internet. There's plenty of resources.
- 8-hour clock. If someone's clock runs out, the next person is on the clock, and the person who missed their clock can pick at any time (but a missed pick is a missed pick. If I take a guy you wanted after your clock ran out, you're SOL).
- The clock will be suspended from midnight ET to 8:00am ET. You can pick during that time if you're up, but the next guy's clock doesn't start until 8:00.
- If someone makes an ineligible pick (i.e., takes a wrestler who's already been picked), it's as if his clock ran out. The next person is up, and the guy who made the ineligible pick can repick at any time. (If this comes up, it'll be up to the guy who follows the ineligible pick whether he wants to wait for the pick to be fixed or move along.)
- If you have back-to-back picks -- whether you're first or last in the order or you've traded for them -- you have 8 hours to make BOTH picks. Not 8 hours each, 8 hours total.
POST-DRAFT VOTING
TBD -- this will likely work like the Villain Draft, since there were the same number of teams involved.
