The Boards WWE Draft spectacular!

Mr.Nice Guy

Sabu didn't come into my head. I'm annoyed that he didn't actually!

I'm like you Fozzy. I've been compiling a list of names and crossing them out when they've been picked. It's getting shorter all the time.

Here's hoping Vince pops on in a bit.

orestes

I thought of Sabu briefly but had him in mind for later, didn't think he would go this early.

I keep on writing out a list of about five people and then they all end up going so I have to write another list. Tis getting very hard to keep up, the next couple of rounds should be very interesting I reckon

Danger_Dave

Yes is starting to get very hard. I think the people who didn't pick to Top Card wrestlers for there first two picks are regretting it . Good pick BH was hoping to get him in the later rounds when everyone forgot about him. Sadly was not forgotten.

P.S I think the weirdest pick of the whole draw so far is lance storm in second round in my opinion.

Fozzy

Just looking at who I wrote down earlier as my candidates, there's five guys left (who I could think of at the time) who I'd be happy with getting as my first, second or third picks. There's still some big talent out there!

orestes

Yep, my picking Storm in the second round is looking pretty stupid now alright (although admittedly it did look pretty stupid at the time too)

If you had have picked Christian as well i think it could have been hailed as a masterful pick in the long term though. Was just unlucky

You blaming Alcohol ?

A mixture of alcohol, stupidity, and being stuck for time cos I was only online for a bit before heading out and didn't want to miss the time limit.

Mainly it was the stupidity

Or William Regal.

Fozzy wrote:

Yeah, he was on my new list. The problem with Sabu, though, is that he only has a very niche appeal, which is ever-diminishing. Lets face it, there are many spot-monkeys out there, and there are many who can actually get through a match without ****ing up. I could never see him going mainstream.

Happy Birthday Bounty Hunter.


Man.. did my heart sink when i seen Kane was chose, or what


I didn't expect anyone would want him or thought he may have been forgotten about. Ah well... I'm happy with my roster so far.


Some nice picks being made, but yes, i am also having to double-check everyone else's roster before making a pick


Great progress made in round three so far. I imagine most rounds will drag on for a few days, but yesterday was awesome. Picks were being made literally within minutes of each other. It was the kind of excitement a man can only dream of :pac:

Mr.Nice Guy

I'm wondering if I should send Vince a message about the draft. I don't know if he's aware his pick is up.

gimmick

Probably a good idea, given his time will be up by 10pm ish?

I have 3 in mind for the next round, and will be very surprised if they are still there if I am in the latter half of the draw.

Mr.Nice Guy

Yeah I'll send him a text just in case.

Tricity Bendix

Damn you, Vince! Damn you all to Heck!

I was absolutely certain Lawlor would escape unnoticed. Now I'll have to rack my brains to think of another top heel.

Mr.Nice Guy

Jerry was in my plans too and I was hoping he'd go unnoticed.

Bubs101

+1. Really wanted him as my 4th round heel

Looks like we sould be getting into the fourth round today.

Must admit, he's on my screen every week, but i completely forgot about Jerry Lawler

Fozzy

I really wanted Lawler. I would have picked him this round if I hadn't spotted Anderson and Blanchard. I think the two of them were better for me than just Lawler. But he was the biggest name who hadn't been picked I think

Bounty Hunter

Time for the Rd4 draw, Furious Red just added Londrick to his roster of great but flawed stars (Benoit & Jeff Hardy)

Mr.Nice Guy

Nice one. I've some stuff to do at the moment but I'll try and get the draw up by around ten o'clock and we can get round 4 under way.

Mr.Nice Guy

Great progress made on Round 3 everybody and I'm very pleased to be able to kick off Round 4. Before I get to the draw I'd like to remind participants that we have placed a limit on the number of tag teams allowed to 2 teams to make it easier on everybody.

Also a question put to me by PM centred on whether or not celebrities were eligible. They are NOT available for selection. We want to keep it to wrestlers who have been on WWE books at some stage so the likes of Trump, Mayweather, Federline etc are out of the question. OK that's the boring stuff taken care of. Let's get down to the draw...

orestes

Cheers mng

Number 10, not bad. I'm gonna need something good to get myself back into competition for this thing, fingers crossed at least one of the picks I have in mind lasts that long

RebelRockChick

gimmick get out of my head, another one on my list gone

Mr.Nice Guy

Had Harley on my list too. Think a good few of us would have wanted him.

callaway92

+1

Bounty Hunter

wow last round I pointed out that the average for me in the first 3 rounds was to be 11th pick, so what do i get in Rd4 but 11th.

good pick Gimmick, Harley completley slipped my mind

Tricity Bendix

No.20, eh.

Well fiddle-dee-dee. Looks like I'll be getting Funaki this time around.

Fozzy

Harley's one of the few big picks left

Number 12?


You suck MNG... Now how am i supposed to get my amazing pick that everyone forgot about?

just incase anyones curious:

Did you really expect a wrestlers name to be written here?

Minto

MNG, how much am I paying you for these great numbers? Seriously! I'll make my pick in a few mins, just back from work, so need a second to relax!

But trust me, my next pick will be money!

Mr.Nice Guy

Cool. I'll be picking for michael because he's gone away for a few days but he's given me a list of his preferred choices.

Will be interesting to see if you pick his top choice, Minto.

Edit: Nice choice, Minto. I was hoping Shane O'Mac would last a bit longer but it wasn't to be.

I've just made michael.etc's pick, which was in line with his wishes, since he's away from his computer for a while.

Anyone who will be away from their computer for a few days can simply PM me their list of preferred choices if they need to do so.

OK Justbringit89 is up next. Hopefully we'll get through a good few picks on Wednesday.

Night all.

gimmick

Strike Force were my next pick. Ah well. I cannot complain at all. 4, the 1. I just know ill be 20 next time, so there will be 38 picks between that and my next. Ah well

Mr.Nice Guy

No! World's Greatest Tag Team were supposed to be my pick! Damn it to hell!

Danger_Dave

Number 8 for myself this round happy days. i have 5 or 6 picks in mind for this round

Pfft. No need to get worked up. There are better tag teams out there. And taken as individuals they have hardly set the world on fire.

I would agree with you on Haas but would strongly disagree with you on Shelton Benjamin. I felt he was one of the best IC champions of recent times and I loved his long reign. Fantastic athleticism from the guy. In 2004, 2005 the guy looked destined for stardom and was doing superb stuff in the ring. At his peak he was awesome.

I even found a great vid of Benjamin I was going to use...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a5Y264ofpU

Just as gutted about this pick as I was with Justbringit's Lesnar selection.

justbringit89

I know , i would loved to see shelton get pushed to uppercard, He is one of the most athletic wrestlers that wwe signed in the past few years, I thought he would fit well with eddie & brock even sabu!!! Charile was Free so i might aswell of got him

Bubs101

There are definitely better tag teams out there than the World's Greatest Tag Team and London and Kendrick, both as a team and as two good wrestlers as the one pick (I have a good value pick up my sleeve for this round.

Given the lack of progress today and the fact that I can't see it flowing particularly fast tonight looks like I'll have to PM you my next 2 or 3 picks barring a miracle. Last trip fell through but this one looks certain to go ahead

Reganio 2

You cam PM me them if someone wants as well.

OK but send on a few picks in case your first preferences get taken.

Edit: Nice choice callaway on Regal. I'd a feeling he'd go this round.

callaway92

Made my pick there..:)

Bubs101

You should certainly have taken Eugene though, if only for the day when he was GM

Could have had Rhyno or Tajiri either, I believe?


Regal's had so many tag partners.

Still a great pick though.

Considering Rhyno and Tajiri were both picked already he couldnt . Also were only allowed two tag teams so you need to be careful which ones you pick.

Mr.Nice Guy

Some of you lot seem obsessed with picking two people all the time. Quantity does not always beat quality.

Yeah but in fairness Eugene was extremely over for a long time and was great comic relief.

And also a great wrestler when he was on Velocity

Argh... Im having difficulty remembering who was even picked


This is getting confusing.

Anyway, question time.


My next pick is in my head, but i dont know if they qualify as a team or not.

It was a singles wrestler and a manager, but, although one of them spent 70% of his time in a management role, they did have tag matches together a few times. They essentially turned into a tag team before being broke up, but most just remember them as a wrestler and manager it seems. So would that qualify?

jayhaitch2

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to pick the first woman.
