The Boards WWE Draft spectacular!

Mr.Nice Guy

Some very good picks made I see. I also like ec18's idea of having Edge and Christian on the same roster which gives him the opportunity to pair them up if he likes.

I hope I get to make my pick today. Itching to do it!

Edit: Fozzy you sonofa...! That was my top tag team choice.

On the plus side at least RebelRockChick didn't go for them as she'd have most of the Horsemen on her roster then.

I think that's a brilliant pick though.

Fozzy

I made a list of some of the decent guys left, there's still a good few. One in particular who seems to have slipped under the radar. Arn and Tully together was a better pick for me at the moment though I think

Damn you! they were next on my list. Excellent pick. I think you're thinking of the same guy as me too, and I'm amazed he's still there. I've got three strong picks in mind still, so hopefully one of them is still there by my turn!

jayhaitch2

pick made
ellaboration later

Mr.Nice Guy

JBL's just been chosen. Solid pick. Had him in my thoughts although wasn't sure he'd fit in well with my roster.

orestes is up next.

orestes

Bugger, thought I'd have a bit more time to make up my mind on what to do in this round to try and salvage myself after my second round screw up.

Gimme a few minutes and I'll make my pick

Bubs101

Really thought I could have gotten JBL, dissapointing. Have three of my top 5 choices left but I'm confident at least one will be picked

Bounty Hunter

Damn Fozzy after my first choice tag team of Owen & Double J were picked, youve taken my 2nd choice the Brain busters> Now with such a big gap between my last draft pick and next one I fear everyone from my list will be gone. Think there are 2 left I wouldent mind as a 3rd draft pick but not sure they will last till then cos so many of my list have been crossed off between picks thus far.

RebelRockChick

Just made my pick, that's my main event sorted I think

Surprised you picked Bossman . I really didn't expect him to go this round. However you've got a solid tag team.

To be honest, i was always a huge Boss Man fan. I dunno why. As i said in my picks post, he as never the best pure wrestler or anything, but im just drawn to him. There's just something about his presence. Plus, as JR once said:

"He's a ring veteran. He knows every trick in the book, practically wrote the book!".


That was at the royal rumble 2000. I can't remember what JR said when The Rock pinned Boss Man in 5 seconds, but i doubt it was anything quite as glorious


I didnt only pick him cos im such a fan, but now that we're breaking into the mid-carder area, i thought he may get picked soon


As for Buchanan, Seen as we can split our teams up (ala Matt/MVP) at least i have a strong mid-carder who can job to the stars.




Brain Busters are an excellent pick. I never thought of them at all. JBL was on my 'to pick' list, so im sad to see him go.



***EDIT***



Orestes pick is surprising. I never thought he'd go that soon to be totally honest. I thought he'd last til the much later rounds, but a good pick nonetheless. Don't really know what use he'd be on a roster though, aside from getting beat up.

Mr.Nice Guy

Damn you orestes! How brilliant would Vince have been on my roster! Was hoping he'd last a few rounds.

Oh well now I can make my pick at last. :cool:

Im loving the speed that picks are taking place today!

I have to ehad out now and probably wont be near a puter for a while, but i reckon we may get a decent distance into round today (hopefully)

Getting beaten up is exactly what he's there for, cos with the right build in a long feud a hell of a lot of people pay to see Vince get beaten up. He's probably the biggest drawing jobber in history :pac:

Danger_Dave

Just a quick Question . Will trades between promotions be allowed? , like the NFL football draft? ( Obviously a limit of trades and no more trades by a certain round . Say round 6 ?) just a thought.

It was agreed earlier that we wouldnt be doing that, i believe


I'm off guys, MNG's taking forever :P


See you all tomorrow when we return to...





... "the draft"!!:D

Vince is one of the best in the business at getting over faces and he was great on the mic in his prime. He got Lashley over for crying out loud aged 70+ or something

No there's no trades. You get what you pick. I just made mine. Sorry I took forever KKV. :pac:

Minto

Damn, Fozzy! You took my round 4 pick! It seems a lot of people were thinking that way, either that or VR has been in a lot of people's ear of late, lol!

I f*cking told you they'd go quick enough pal, you snooze, you lose.
Hope Orton was worth it!

VR!

I was gonna pick them in this round, missed out by 2 places, grrrrr

Oh well ! . Made mine. It was a toss up between Kane or the Dudley Boyz . No joke. So you made the choice for me.

Mr.Nice Guy

I knew those damn Dudleyz would go in this round! Quality tag team. My top two tag choices have gone in a matter of hours.

Well done everyone on the great progress for round 3. Let's keep it going!

Bubs101

I kind of need to ask permission before I make this pick because I have a feeling I will probably have to revoke it.

If I pick the Steiner brothers can I have the two of them from their time in the magnificent 7? They did certainly have a match at that time
# March 5, 2001 - Nitro: Booker T & Diamond Dallas Page defeated The Steiner Brothers
and it was said before when jeff was picked without Matt that he could have had both of them in their prime because they wrestled just 4 days ago on the draft Raw

Mr.Nice Guy

Well I believe we agreed it was up to the individual to determine when the wrestler's prime was. The Steiner Brothers are certainly an acceptable pick under the rules. Go for it if that's who you want.

Bubs101

Mr.Nice Guy wrote: »

Likewise you couldn't pick the Steiner Brothers and say, ''But remember I'm also getting 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner'. That gimmick was from an era ahead of your actual pick.

I wouldn't have asked but you expressley said this before

michael.etc...

Steiner Bros was one i was thinking of, but i would have went for the brainbusters first.. good picks though.

I've made mine. Oh yes.

Mr.Nice Guy

Bubs101 wrote: »

It's a grey area alright. I don't want to restrict people too much though.

On another note, what are the odds we get through this round tonight I wonder?

Edit: Great pick michael. I had him in mind. Was hoping no one would go for him.

I think we might actually, only 5 to go and I'd imagine vince and bounty hunter will both be on tonight

Very good pick by michael, I had him in mind for the next round

Bounty Hunter

if the next two are on tonight ill atleast post my pick, great progress made today!

Mr.Nice Guy

I think dez will make his pick soon and Justbringit89 was on a bit earlier so maybe we'll see a few more picks. If Vince and FR are on later we could get through it this evening which would be terrific. We've made great progress whatever happens.

Bounty Hunter

People seem to be loving the buy 1 get 1 free special offer

Tajiri and Rhyno gone, too very diverse preformers and a good addition to a roster IMO.

Danger_Dave

True its seems to be flavor of the round ! . however is there now a limit of two tag teams now ?.

P.S Were are racing to the end of the round !

Mr.Nice Guy

Danger_Dave wrote: »

Yeah we've limited tag team choices to two teams.

Just three picks to go now. :cool:

Edit: Or should I say four. But I know Bounty Hunter will make his for definite.

Justbringit89 is online now so expect within a minute or so of him posting for me to put up my pick which ive pre-written then off for birthday drinks.:)

Cool, happy birthday dude!

So then it's just vince and red left if I remember right. Are you going to do the draw for the next round tonight if they get their picks in mng or are you gonna wait and do it tomorrow?

Has anyone pm'd justbringit89 to let him know it's his turn? With the difference in speed in getting through this round he might think he won't be up yet, just a thought

Yeah he does know. He PM'd me a moment ago to ask me something.

Happy Birthday BH! go get smashed !

orestes

BH why don't you send mng your pick (or two in case 89 picks your first choice) and head out drinking now? Seems a shame to miss out on your birthday beers waiting for someone to post their pick

Yes I agree.

Bounty Hunter

tbh I did on Saturday for it and for those Tramore peeps here I had a very interesting time with one of your ladies that night too , will prob just be getting drunk watching Raw with my Bro tonight.

just checked justbringit89's profile he was viewing the draft picks thread 5mins ago so he knows he's up

Mr.Nice Guy

justbringit89 just chose JBL but jayhaitch already chose him earlier.

You'll have to make another pick.

orestes

JBL is already gone, did BH reply already?

Mr.Nice Guy

Bounty Hunter chose Yokozuna who I was hoping would survive a few rounds yet.

Bounty Hunter

just noticed the JBL hiccup, is it ok that I picked. he cant now go back and pick Yoko now can he? damn my hurry.

orestes

I assume 89 can't choose Yokozuna now then when he remakes his pick even though he is the line ahead of BH, cos that would be pretty shitty imo

Mr.Nice Guy

No he certainly can't choose Yokozuna as that would be highly unfair.

Bounty Hunter your pick is grand. Don't worry about that.

justbringit89

Sorry Guys Cruical Error . I edited my pick!!!

Fozzy

I was wondering when someone was going to pick someone who's already gone. I'm typing out every pick in the first posts and I still had to check over it earlier on

Fozzy

I thought about Sabu for a later pick. I've got my list from earlier saved, there's about ten names on it left, bet half of them will be gone before my next turn!
