I'm very interested in getting up to a #1 pick. If you want to trade out contact me.
Otherwise I'm going the opposite way and I'm looking to trade talent with an eye toward Season IX.

Honestly, as much as we all want to get this rolling I think we can wait to hear from him til tomorrow at least. We can finish this thing in just over a day anyway, so as long as its done by the weekend we are all good.
That being said, I am confident he will check in today as he seems to be around and perhaps this just got lost in the shuffle.

I bet Mike would have taken Rey here, and I know I sure would have with my back to backs... it essentially means you don't lose your high scorer next season. Or you can move him for some very good value to a guy planning for next season coughfarncough... I would say he should be back in early 2007.

Species seems to have a lot of insider information on multiple promotions such as TNA and ECW... he knows how long Rey is out for, he knows who Knox is fueding with, is familiar with "The Alpha Male" from the Serenghetti... he's been doing some homework!
Now if he could answer the following question I'd give him a free draft pick... please quote me a Delirious promo. Then you have ROH covered and you are all good.
