There's a really good value pick that I'm surprised hasn't been taken.

Men on a Mission! Good pick by the way.

There's at least 2 glaring ommissions from the list. I'd expect them to be filled by the end of round 2. Hopefully not though.

Would these be singles wrestlers you're thinking of?

I think one of them is going very soon.

I think the other will slip under the radar, just maybe.

I'm pretty sure I know of two that I would consider glaring ommisions that are probably different to yours. There are at least 5 who are up there with some of the picks already made and 1 massive ommission

If gimmick takes my first choice I will go mental

jayhaitch2

Back to the drawing board so...thanks a million Gimmick.

I hate this game.

Fozzy

I think Funk's got to be one of the guys Vince was thinking about. To be honest, I'd considered him for my first pick but then forgot about him for my second pick, I just wanted Piper. But I'd rather have Funk than Piper. That's my two top stars sorted out!

gimmick

Both my picks so far have been pretty old school. My next pick will be of the new generation. I have 2 or 3 in mind, so I will be shocked if I don't get one of them.

Delighted to have gotten Steamboat. My top heel and face are sorted.

You could have got Dorry and Terry for the price of 1.

I don't think he could, they had to be a tag team in the WWF, any two guys who weren't a tag team in the WWF but were outside don't count ala Jericho and Storm

They were a tag team in the WWF.

They did team together at one of the early Wrestlemanias. But they're both former NWA champions, and Terry's a former ECW champion

Mr.Nice Guy

Two solid picks. I didn't think Funk would be noticed by anyone yet although I feared Steamboat would be.

Only a few picks left for this round. With a bit of luck we might get through it today.

Is that relevant? I didn't think titles outside the WWE applied on that ruling?

MNG, could Fozzy have picked the Funks as 1?

I thought it was. I just took "world champion" to mean world champion, not WWE champion

He certainly could have used both Terry and Dorry (Hoss) Funk. They had a match at Wrestlemania 2 against JYD and Tito Santana. They also had several six man tag matches with Jimmy Jack Funk.

However, his pick has been chosen. Whoever picked Jeff earlier wasn't allowed have Matt as an afterthought. So if Foz was allowed Dory afterwards, it would be somewhat unfair.

VR!

I was under the impression that world titles outside the WWE spectrum wouldn't apply.

So for example if someone wanted the Steiner Brothers they'd be allowed to take them seeing as Scott Steiner was never recognised as a WWE World Champion.

It's probably something that we should have made clearer although it's not likely to affect many guys. By a similar token I'd be fine with the current ECW World Championship not being recognised as a World Title since it would prevent a certain top tag team from being picked assuming anyone wanted them...;)

I would have thought that the WCW and NWA titles were too big to ignore but not the ECW

Danger_Dave

I hate being last ! all of my picks are evaporating.

P.S Biggest surprise in 2 round so far for me is the fabulous Freebirds , Kevin Nash. Both i believe could have waited for later rounds.

Vince135792003

It's an exclusive WWE draft though. Just for future reference not that I can think of another example like it, it might be good just to know.

Fozzy

There's a good few other guys who could have had tag partners picked with them in that case

Reganio 2

Their is still a very good pick left, suprised nobody has picked him yet. Was brilliant especially a few years ago.

Mr.Nice Guy

The big names are going pretty quick I think. It's going to be interesting by about round 5 or 6 to see who people are choosing. That's what I can't wait for. Doink the Clown anyone? :pac:

Damn it anyway!

Danger_Dave

The lads need to hurry up otherwise you'll all be waiting till tomorrow for round 3.

orestes

Dammit! I was hoping no one would pick Funk, having him on a roster with Foley would have been a hell of a draw! I'll make my second pick now in a minute, just gimme a minute to go grab the youtube videos and whatnot

Mr.Nice Guy

Very surprised by the latest pick. Didn't expect Lance to go so early.

Only three left so hopefully b.ie curious, jayhaitch and Danger Dave will be about later on!

Bounty Hunter

def didnt expect that grest wrestler but expected more of a big name

It was a coin toss between him and someone else, probably the wrong choice but figured it can't hurt having a solid performer and technical wrestler on the bill since I've already got the worlds greatest spot guy

Fozzy

You could've got Christian or Regal along with Lance. Or Val Venis if you'd wanted!

Surely if Christian is an NWA champ he would have been out of bounds?

Either way, I think Lance could easily have been picked in the 3rd or maybe even the 4th round.I like him but he never really got to the main event

Mr.Nice Guy said that only WWE world titles count a few posts ago

I thought that issue was clarified earlier on in the thread when KKV raised the point:

By a similar token I'd be fine with the current ECW World Championship not being recognised as a World Title since it would prevent a certain top tag team from being picked assuming anyone wanted them...

Just because this has came back up it seems... In my view, the current ECW (WWE version) title, should constitute a "World title", however, because the WWE regard it as such, and as a WWE draft, we're disregarding the Non-WWE World titles. So it seems to me that we have to include the current ECW title in the list of belts that prevent a tag team being picked!

Steamboat and Funk- damn i had hoped either would be my third... but im not suprised- great picks.

Bubs101

Sorry, wasn't paying attention. Does the WCW title count because it has kind of been cannibalized and used by the WWE?

michael.etc...

The WCW title only counts from when it was reintroduced as the Raw World title (as held by Triple H). So if someone held the belt in WCW, then it doesn't count, but if they held if from Septemeber 02, then it does.

At least i think so, as the lineage of the original stopped with Chris Jericho unifing the belts. The current World title isn't part of the same lineage.

At least i think that's right...

Bounty Hunter

I would say only if someone has won it as the World Heavyweight Championship and not as the WCW title i.e won it as a WWE belt.

ECW title shouldent be counted IMO as i view it as a mid-card belt as important as the US & Intercontinental titles. but I guess MNG gets the final say... although he is quoted above saying the current ECW being not recognised is ok with him

Well I was willing to disregard the ECW Title's status as a world title considering that in the WWE it's not really viewed as important as the World Heavyweight title or WWE Title, but I have to say your logic is pretty sound and if it's meant to be a WWE draft then we ought to play by WWE's own rules.

Therefore, reluctantly, I suppose we need to view the ECW Title as a world championship. There goes my plan for picking Nitro and Mercury!

Bubs101 wrote:

As regards the WCW Title, the belt given to Triple H in 2002 is regarded as the WWE World Title so would therefore be distinct from the WCW Title which went beforehand.

If it makes you feel better I would have gotten the Miz and Morrison in before you

How do you know that, you could be last next round bubs .

P.S No sign of Bi ? because i will be around for another hour or so and then I'm getting drunk so will not be back on till lunch time tomorrow

I payed MNG to increase my number by 1 every round after getting a bad number in the first one. I'll be 6 next, trust me. I also payed him to keep you down at 20

WWE world title and WCW title both have the same design, thats all. Aside from that they don't even share the same title history. For example, if Kane wins the belt off Punk, he can't claim to be a WCW, ECW and WWE champion. Big Show, on the other hand, can.


Looks like we'll be waiting until tomorrow for the next round then?

Yeah but RebelRockChick pays the best so I have to give her first preference. She might want you last Bubs. If you notice she came in the top five the last two rounds. Surely you didn't think that was mere luck?

Nonsense. Make your pick whilst drunk! I suggest the Brooklyn Brawler. Let that name sink in to your head...

callaway92

Danger Dave...I see Mordecai wasnt chosen yet. He could be the heart and soul of your Fed..PICK MORDECAI

Damn there's another guy off my list.

jayhaitch is up next.

Danger_Dave

He was going to be my pick all of the others i had in mind are gone . What to do !!
