September 2019 Draft Hype/Signup Thread


Recommended Posts

CreeperGav: I feel we were competing for the same types. Samoa Joe, Johnny Gargano, Ruby Riot were on my short list when they were picked.

 

Think we might've. You got quite a few I had wanted as well, such as D-Bry (he was like, my #4 pick :(), Davey Richards, Daisuke Sasaki (You chose him literally the round I was like: 'Hey, Sasaki is still on the board, I'll draft him in the next round.'), Ricochet, Tommy End, Io Shirai, and Paul Heyman, to name a few.

 

 

 

Also, while I'm here, I'll announce that prior to the end of the draft, ROH & Progress executives met up and agreed to share talent in the future, thus enacting a working agreement.

building in downtown Montreal!

Alpha, I don't know if I could have necessarily landed all 6 of those guys had I gone that route, as I was still missing too many picks heading into the teens. As much as guys like Miyahara, Marufuji, and Nakajima are all incredible workhorses (with the latter having a crazy amount of potential), they really are the "upper midcard" version of my first five picks or so. That being said, I think Ishii and Goto fit a different mold that those three do not. I simply wanted to avoid a constant problem I have of using a bunch of different guys that occupy the same exact role. I think Miyahara, Marufuji, and Nakajima would be fighting for spots that I would push Okada, Styles, Naito, Nakamura, Ibushi, and Hiromu into instead. Ishii and Goto apply to the veteran mold (as well as Hero :p). Then it spreads the love, and I essentially lose out on the lite version of my top tier stars. Just my perspective, though you made me think hard about it haha You basically wanted me to lock down all of Japan though, that's hard to do when I only get one pick a round most of the time, and everyone else can just sprinkle in one Japanese guy throughout the entire draft and make me look bad. :p

 

 

alpha2117: Breeze is probably my favorite pick of yours. Aldis and Miz are good too. Dream fits in well.

 

alpha2117: You were doing your thang. I don't like what you did to Gabriel, but that's okay. :p

 

 

Understood with your 8 to 10 picks - my take is that Nakajima & Miyahara are young enough to keep growing (especially Nakajima). I don't think Goto & Ishii were going to be picked up till maybe somewhere in the 20's by anyone else so if you had of taken the three guys you missed with those picks I think you still get all three of the others in the order you selected. Your settings are brutal and sadly injuries can and will occur and if I had of had the same choice I would have prioritised getting those back-up stars over vets because Japan is literally going to be littered with vets looking for work come the game but people who can fill in at Main Event level is harder. I love your fed but to me those guys and Takeshita were misses that could have secured your long-term Main Event scene leaving you to pick up your mid-card much as you will your Joshi girls post draft.

 

Love Breeze and Aldis & Miz are my big first feud. Dream is the future of my fed with luck.

 

As for what I did with Gabriel - He'd fallen to that slot and the guy is one of the great lost chances they screwed up with Nexus, he had that Ricochet style finisher that was just sweet but they basically turned him into a jobber. My product doesn't lend itself to anything too serious but riffing on his Bunny gimmick and eventually taking it in the direction he wanted too is my plan. If you don't know the story he wanted the Bunny to go full heel and become evil and menacing - so I am starting him out daft and fun before eventually going very dark with his turn. With me not having faces and heels I can do character turns slowly and organically over time and that's the plan with him.

What was your goal in drafting your roster?

 

I wanted to go for something unique and yet something that everyone knows

I wanted to build a solid foundation for Tag Team wrestling and expand on the idea of more tag team once we get up and running as well as possible running a trios division in the near future

 

What pick were you most excited about?

 

I was surprised that Adam Cole hadn't been picked early and realizing that..i swooped in to acquire a guy who I think would help us get established

 

Are there any picks you regret?

 

There are a few picks where I should have stuck to a plan..closer to the later rounds

 

What were some of your favorite picks made by other players?

 

Kijar: I think TJP

 

Tardelli:WWE Network..Game..Point..Match

 

Alpha2117: The Miz..one of my fav wrestlers ..had him in my sights

 

Dr Avalanche: Kenny Omega..was going to be my second round pick and a corner stone to CECW but dropped the ball on him

 

LucianCarter: Kevin Steen

 

Destiny:Luke Harper

 

WillRock: Walter definitely the cornerstone to his company

 

CreeperGav: Samoa Joe

 

Southside_Hitman: Fenix..enough said

 

Uncrewed: Roman Reigns..good pickup especially where he ended up in

How do you see your promotion unfolding once you're able to play it?

 

I think we may do okay as we have young talent that can only get better and also helps that our stars are somewhat over..but we will be definitely looking to expand our Tag divisons as well as our ladies division..only time will tell

Post Draft Dumpster Dive

 

Every Draft feds have holes they need to fill and there are always workers who have fallen through the cracks. Heres some names that might fill your needs. I will definitely miss some people and apologies if I add someone who has gotten a late draft deal that I've missed.

 

Most feds selected women so lets start there

 

Looks – Vet Mexican Luchadoras La Ampola & Tiffany and noted toxic nutjob Sexy Star are still around and could be worth short term deals if you are using Eye Candy as is Melina Perez. Velvet Sky is a limited worker and is set as a Freelancer so shes a short term option no matter what you may want. Rain & Jayme Jameson dont have high profiles but they have the looks to make signing them worthwhile if thats what you need. Daffney, April Hunter, Shelly Martine & Maryse are available as out of ring workers – so would be relatively cheap – if you want to coax them out of retirement it might be possible but the price will go up. Trina Micheals is purely out of ring talent.

 

If you want younger women (under 32) with Good looks and not awful skills – Nicole Matthews, Jetta, La Jarochita & Melanie Grey fill that need.

 

Good Workers – Aja Kong, Awesome Kong, Cynthia Moreno, Emi Sakura, LuFisto, Marcela< Mickie James, Nanae Takahashi, Saraya Knight are all vetran talent that could help on relatively short term deals.

 

Decent notables – Alpha Female, Angel Williams (Angelina Love), Arisa Nakajima, Blue Nikita, Cat Power, DASH Chisako, Faby Apache, Hailey Hatred, Hamuko Hoshi, Hikaru Shida, India Sioux, Katarina Waters, Leva Bates, Mary Apache, Mia Yim, MsChif, Princesa Sujei, Queen Maya, Rachel Summerlyn, Reyna Pink, Serena Deeb, Yumi Ohka

 

Reyna Obscura is a must – shes 24 and nobody is decent at 24 and if she is available to you then take her

 

Decent Star Quality not already mentioned – Silueta, Roni Nicole, Syuri & Maki Ito

 

Men

 

Great Star Quality – D'Angelo Dinero, El Sagrado, Galactar, James Storm, MVP, Marco Corleone, Rey Bucanero, Ryan Nemeth, Shad Gaspard, Shockwave the Robot, Togi Makabe,

 

Under 35 with Good SQ – Cedric Rougeau – attention Canadians this 26 yo guy is a must if only to keep him away from your rival!, Cyanide, Espanto Jr, Jessie Godderz & Rob Eckos, Joel Redman, Mascara Sagrada Jr, Matt Basso, Nino De Ebano, Punishment Martinez, Rene Dupree, Rhett Titus, Rush, Shane Matthews, Tommy Mercer, Tony Casanova

 

Great Workers – I'm excluding really old guys – Christopher Daniels, Cibernetico (can be a problem child), HARASHIMA, Rhino, Rocky Romero, Shelton Benjamin, Starbuck, Susumu Yokosuka, Suwama

 

Good workers under 35 – Argos, Daisuke Harada, Daisuke Sasaki, Hiroshi Yamoto, Jimmy Jacobs, Pascal Spalter, Psycho Clown, Shawn Daivari

 

Decent under 30 - Aguila Enmascarada, Ariya Daivari (pair him with his brother and thats a decent tag team right there), Ciclope, Demonio Infernal, Dowie James, Jordan Devlin, Principe Pantera, Puma King, Sam Adonis, Scotty O'Shea, Tama Williams, Tomahawk TT, Toxin

Not to be impatient, but do we know if the file will be out today? Need to budget my time :)

 

Patience please :p

 

All joking aside, the data should be out tomorrow. Just got to get the popularity in and the tag teams/stables as well. So if there's anything y'all want in the base data that you haven't said already, make sure to get them in, because this bad boy is dropping tomorrow!

<p>Thought I'd take a quick look before bed. Curse you Uncrewed - How dare you make errors! (kidding - there are always tweaks required in these drafts as people throw everything together pretty darn quickly) Admittedly the errors in my fed are partly of my own making as I changed my Tv from my initial intention and that may have caused the issues.</p><p> </p><p>

WS_X Sex Bomb is a 2 hr A Show on Saturday Night on the Network but has failed to make its way into the data </p><p> </p><p>

WS_X Cabaret is on Friday Nights and is not on the Network but rather only on Sky Deustschland (as I think you aren't supposed to have clashing TV deals in the same area - in this case both are in Central Europe)</p><p> </p><p>

In The data WS_X Cabaret is on both clashing broadcasters. Initially I intended both to be on the network but decided late in the draft to go with Sky Deutschland for Cabaret to at least try to get my peoples profiles up in their home area before that deal was lost.</p><p> </p><p>

Renee & Corey are not set as my Announce team for Cabaret (and should also be set for S_X Bomb when it's added.</p><p> </p><p>

Not an error but a tweak - The NWA Tag Teams titles can have No restrictions rather than Male Only when you tweak the data.</p><p> </p><p>

The WILD Alliance between WS_X, Tsunami Strong Style and SHOWTIME isn't in. That's a key piece of business for those 3 feds as they all get something out of sharing womens workers in particular. </p><p> </p><p>

Something that has nothing to do with you but is incorrect - Taryn Terrell is set as Semi-Active but does not have the setting Occassional Wrestler Usually or Sometimes in her Favoured Role settings making her results kind of odd and random. It's a flaw in the mod rather than anything you have done and that one field needs to be fixed in the Workers area. </p><p> </p><p>

Other Mod WS_X Worker data flaws - Black Mamba, Eddy McQueen, La Chica YeYE, Rick Cataldo are set as str8 - arguably that might be the case for YeYE but as she's set as Male in the mod it's wrong. You cant get much more out than Cataldo who runs a Matter of Pride wrestling out of gay venues in the Tri-State area and Mamba and McQueen are also gay. If you are fiddling around with that part of the data you can tweak them if you want if not I will before I start playing because I don't want something odd like Cataldo dating Annie Social! That would be too weird even for wrestling.</p><p> </p><p>

Nothing major really. The only thing that you absolutely have to fix for other peoples games is the TV deals for Cabaret & S_X Bomb and the Alliance. I can adjust the other stuff for my own game if you don't want to tweak that stuff. </p><p> </p><p>

Didn't look at any of the other companies as it's 12 30 in the morning.</p>

Stupid Browser crashed after I noted a few things

 

WS_X - Change from Traditional to TV Orientated as I am all about my two nights of debauchery

 

TSS - Should have a Womens Division setting which means the women default to wrong roles, T&A low

 

MCMG should be Murder City Machine Guns

 

Relationship to CECW set up wrong as a Child Company rather than Alliance

 

No Money

 

SHOWTIME - TV Show not set up

 

I don't think Tardelli specified any tag teams

 

CECW - Couldn't find their settings post - No Titles set up but without that post I cant know for sure if that's right. No Events set up again couldn't see a post (guessing there isn't one)

 

As mentioned the relationship to TSS comes up wrong

 

Will keep updating this post as I go through the companies
