There are a number of different waiver possibilities and trade options that will be posted in the waiver thread for carryover when the draft is completed.

If you want to announce a trade, please post it in bold in the Draft thread.

If either Bobo or GO is interested in a trade from spots 1-3 I'd be interested depending on who is available at the time of selection and the cost of the pick.

And I apologize for Tree's keepers in the draft thread being shortened. When I adjusted the chart be more browser friendly I forgot to stretch the cells. Hopefully nobody even considers Kozlov or HBK being available. :)

Because I just saw the commercial, what's the verdict on the new WGN Superstars show? Are we going to count that?

I can't imagine adding it if its like Heat. But we'd have to wait and see. I don't even get the damn channel which is hilarious.

I don't think the first couple weeks will be a guideline cause you know there will be some talent on there the first couple episodes. How about after 5 episodes we have a vote of whether to add it? We'd definitely need to split up scoring.

Its supposed to have people from all 3 shows on it, so I don't think it impacts this draft, or would be a positive or negative to add it in midstream.

Enchiladas,
HMMMM, HMMMM Good.
Had some great ones this week while I was in Austin at the little Hole-in-the-Wall Tex-Mex place called Maudies that Taxman had turned me onto when I was there in Feb.

Think my better half is bringing home spaghetti when she comes back from the grocery store.

If a moderator sees this please clean up our draft thread and leave only the William Regal pick after where Kennedy went inadvertently.

If Tree is at the ROH TV Taping that means he's hanging out backstage with Ric Flair and probably not checking the draft... whoooooooooo!

I'm texting him with best available list.

sorry about that. not sure how I missed Kennedy since I typed up the list. Even had wiggs angry cause he thought Kennedy would slip to him.

Anyway, I actually get WGN so if we decide to score it we'll be ok.

I'm not sure I'd want to add it midstream though. But I'm open to anything.

Here's how I see it. The show needs to have championship level talent on there after the debut and have fueds furthered that culminate in getting on a PPV.

If its just random Val Venis vs. Hacksaw for no reason, then its basically just Heat and can be ignored. If The Colons are fighting Miz/Morrison and its keeping in the storyline of what they've got going on, then by all means we should count it.

I don't think its a big deal to start scoring it after a month. We could go the other way... you want to include it ala SNME for a month and then we vote to keep scoring it or not?

"If its just random Val Venis vs. Hacksaw for no reason, then its basically just Heat and can be ignored. If The Colons are fighting Miz/Morrison and its keeping in the storyline of what they've got going on, then by all means we should count it. "

Considering how in some cases talent is spread so thin on teams, and with some guys appearing on multiple shows (M & M) where other talent barely gets on tv I think that regardless of the talent on the show it should be scored.

If we were doing this for WCW back in the day I would have totally pushed for the idea of scoring WCW Saturday Night. I think any show would new matches should be scored, especially if it was mid card or lower talent.

We should be expecting to start Season 13 on Monday so we will need to make sure we finish by Monday morning.

When you finish drafting post your new roster in the waiver thread.

Rosa Mendes = Milena Roucka


Btw, I purged a ton of released talent from my scoring sheet and did the name adjustments for those who needed it. Off the top of my head that was Rosa and Sim Snuka (Deuce Shade)

Thanks.......I purged as the season went on. These days it's nice if the sheets match but not essential---except of course it's essential that we call the wrestlers by the same name (lol).

Guys I just got in and am exhausted and have too much to do before work tomorrow. I need to do research but since we're pretty much done here I figure I can do my back to back picks about 9 AM tomorrow over breakfast. Zyre - I emailed you too so please check and get back to me if you see it by then.Figured I'd just let you know so nobody is waiting around for now.

it appears as though after this week the taping for the WGN Superstars will be before Raw. That seems to indicate it will be Raw heavy with stars.

This week they will tape one match before Raw and 2 before Smackdown/ECW.

Farn, I'd say if you are up for the challenge, we should go ahead and add it to scoring -- then in a month we hold a vote whether to continue with it. For now we can just look at it like its another SNME.

I can at least take ECW away from you to even it out. I'll just send you the numbers each Wednesday.
