PW Draft 2015 - Discussion Thread
Comments
-
Wanted to post this up now rather than let it get caught up in the show-writing time coming up. I think it's probably best if possible that next year, someone else take the mantel of running the draft.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it immensely, and I'd happily play second fiddle if someone wants to take charge but have a sounding board to talk to. But I feel as if this years wasn't hugely exciting and I think a fresh mind might be able to do more with the draft than I am. I would honestly hope that someone who is a PW regular would want to inject some fresh ideas into the process, and I think it would be better for the community here if someone else took charge. But I fear that this year's draft was a bit disappointing in terms of stips and the usual buzz around things, and that's down to me not being very creative with it.
There's obviously 10 months before anyone needs to commit, and there's no point assigning it over to someone now, and then 10 months from now, they don't post any more or have changed their minds. But I feel it's a good idea to plant the seeds of discussions now and let someone think about it, plan it out, etc.
(That said, if no one does, I will run it next year too; don't want it to die. Just want to offer the chance to some one(s) else if they want it

First off, your doing a great job TSC.
I can understand your point re- the buzz considering there were less new stips or perhaps less stips in general but thats not necessarily a bad thing and in many ways was a result of you wanting to mix things up a bit. We always have stips at the start for example to allow big names to last longer but this year to change things around we didn't for instance.
Also there was no controversy which is the positive spin on a lack of buzz.
I can see how running the thing for a second time can perhaps take away a little of your own personal buzz too especially when you feel you arent making it different to your last one and as MNG said perhaps there is unneccesary pressure added due to this.
If im fully honest I didn't actually enjoy the draft less when I ran it but and I think its a big but the draft was not the beast it is today at that point and ran at a much slower pace. Considering virtually everyone involved this year is a regular and has been involved before (maybe Sin eater is a draft virgin im not sure) this moves fast and I think a lot of people wouldnt realize how much you gotta be online or atleast how much you might think in your own head that you have to so as not to keep people waiting.
I'd happily run the thing again though I do think the idea of 2 running it together isn't a terrible idea.

on another note now that I started this post by saying your doing a great job... screw you TSC

I'm actually really happy with Chyna as a pick in Round <whatever that number was> and to get Kaientai again, although I imagine I could've waited until a later round and still got them.
Ideas are buzzing in my head for stories but I don't think I'll be doing my first show until after another couple of picks - not because I have gaps in my stories but more because of time constraints.
Chyna though, genuinely really happy to get Chyna, if not just because Trips was really unfair to her on the Austin podcast.

You absolutely wouldn't have got them next round

Corny and Russo on the same roster - you'll need the the riot squad on your books. 0 -
