Don't know who to pick next though.

From my point of view, you've got four heels (Boss Man, Honky Tonk, Perfect, and Hassan) but only Taker as a face. I'd go with a number two face. Or a mouth-piece for Hassan or Honky Tonk...

True, but Boss Man, Perfect and Honky Tonk could all be used as faces.


I think im finished tweaking my card to be honest. But im still thinking about my final pick. I have someone in mind. They won't hugely benefit my roster, but they'd be a nice little addition.

Bounty Hunter

wow tis weird that we are actually waiting on Fozzy this time after FBI89 missed his go. Atleast Spongey said he has his pic all ready done up and will prob post fairly soon after Fozzy. I very much doubt at the rate we are going that we will get to my go today but just incase ill PM my answer to MNG before as im heading out tonight.

He missed it long ago. I'm sure Fozzy will be on soon and he has until tonight anyway.

Hopefully we can get this round done by Sunday at the latest.

Fozzy

I made my post a while ago, first chance I had. I'm very pleased

Great pick. I hope everyone watches the videos you put up.

Originally I was thinking of picking him to face Brody.

Mr.Nice Guy

Stan Hansen would have fit in well on my roster.

Fozzy

Like I alluded to earlier, I sort of thought that by picking Terry Funk I had the brawler of my roster, so there was no point in picking Hansen. But he's too good to be left out. Better to have two great brawlers than just one along with a mediocre wrestler!

gimmick

I had Hansen in mind earlier, but I didn't pick for two reasons, one good, the other not so. First is I know very little about him, second - I thought his career was pretty much all in Japan and NWA territories.

Not bothered anyway, as I don't think he would have fit my roster too well anyway. Thats not to say he is not a good pick though.

Mr.Nice Guy

Cade and Murdoch are a pretty good tag team pick at this late stage of the game. Surprised they weren't picked up before now.

your not the only one. i was afraid some one might pick Cade on his own but luckly they were still there

Mr.Nice Guy

Minto,

I see you've picked Jim Ross. In the rules at the beginning though I wrote:

I suggest leaving out commentators, at least for the time being, but if people think otherwise then we can discuss it.

I don't recall the issue being raised so I was under the impression we would be leaving commentators out. I mention this in case you want to rethink your pick.

Then again, if you are choosing J.R. for another type of role then fair enough.

Minto

I picked JR, because I wanted him and Heenan as the commentators for my PPV (Heenan is pulling double duty). My card is finished and tbh, I've nothing else to pick for really, but since you say its against the rules, will I make another pick?

Bounty Hunter

i dont mind but think JR would be long gone at this stage if people were picking commentators.

Just to confirm, although id assume they also cant be picked but are Celebs eligable to be drafted? considering you only had to have had a match in the WWF/E hense the dark match wrestlers that have been picked

ec18

just made my pick

Bounty Hunter

should i wait for Minto or make my pick ? i know i PM'd you it MNG but seing as we didnt get that far yesterday I might aswell post it myself

Mr.Nice Guy

I would advise you to alter your pick yeah because commentators won't come into it.

Bounty Hunter, you can go ahead.

Nice pick by ec18. A good team to have.

Fozzy

I think it was said somewhere that they're not allowed, as it's wrestlers who we're picking. I may be wrong

On the JR thing, while I have nothing against it, it was said that no commentators would be allowed and if they were then JR probably would have been picked earlier, in which case someone would be missing out on him

EDIT: http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=56502765

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.

Bounty Hunter

ive made my pick, needed a women on my roster and with that pick i get a controversal and succesful wrestler/manager/Valet all in one. If anyone can find a better video of that incident tell me cos that one kinda sucks but some people might not even know of that incident and i thought the video was needed

Mr.Nice Guy

Just made michael's pick for him.

I must say he hadn't entered my thoughts but I think that's a real good pick at this stage.

Minto

Right, changed my pick. Just gotta figure out what to do with him now, lol! I guess its all part of being a booker though!

Bubs101

Why didn't you take Daivari as well? Khali was always better with him IMO

Bounty Hunter

not really a tag team though they were more a wrestler + manager/mouthpiece. His last pick can still be a tag team though maybe someone to feud with the priceless duo of Ted & Cody.

ec18

damn michael he was supposed to be my tenth round pick

michael.etc...

Thanks for doing that.
I picked KI because i wanted someone of the more highflying style, to have a match/feud with Mascaras, but who was versatile enough that they wouldn't look completely out of place with the other guys on the roster. I think i did pretty well with KI.

Mr.Nice Guy

gimmick has missed his go. Jayhaitch2 is up now.

gimmick

Sorry about that folks. Heavy night last night and I have been zoned out all day. :rolleyes:

orestes

Bugger, didn't read this thread before I made my pick, just saw that Minto picked JR and it's been decided we won't be picking commentators, gimme a minute and I'll make another pick, sorry about that folks

Edit: done now, not a great pick I know, but I had to think fast and I think about as fast as that guy when I'm rushing so it was kinda appropriate

RebelRockChick

Made my pick, callaway92 is up next.

gimmick

As I missed my turn this time round, I can pick once Danger Dave (number 20) has made his, ya?

RebelRockChick

Justbringit89 missed his pick aswell, so I think he goes after Danger Dave and then your pick gimmick

Bounty Hunter

should prob just PM MNG then the second Dave posts MNG can add your pick and post the final rd draw like was done before, obviously the same goes for JBI89 I think or he can just post when he next gets on.

edit; danger dave is online now

Danger_Dave

Ive made my Pick ! Just on Vince's pick, has Nigel McGuinness ever wrestled in the WWE? Or is this another grey area pick from vince ?

Bounty Hunter

think he did a dark match, dont fully know though think he falls into the AJ/Samoa Joe catagory

Fozzy

Nigel's wrestled on Heat. Good pick there. He'll be signed by WWE by the end of 2009 at the latest, I guarantee it

Bounty Hunter

so where are we with this then?

gimmick

I am ready to make my delayed pick, but I think I must wait for JBI89 to do his first before I am allowed make mine? Or does it matter as we both missed our turns?

Minto

Bounty Hunter wrote: »

I think we are waiting for the guys who missed their turns to make their picks. Then we're waiting for MNG to draw the 10th round.

Mr.Nice Guy

gimmick, You can make your pick now.

I'm not sure what the story is with JBI89. I've not heard from him and I don't think he's even checked the thread. I don't think he's particularly bothered with this any more.

Bubs101

In that case dibs on Lesner

gimmick

Job. Will do so now.

Picking a fella, so my last pick has to be a woman.

Bounty Hunter

Bubs101 wrote: »

I asked at the start of the thread if people dropped out would their picks be up for grabs, the answer was no.

im sure he will prob show again seing as we are in the final rd and maybe make a double pick so as not to have wasted so much time making his roster

Mr.Nice Guy

I just sent JBI89 a PM to see what the story is. If he still wants to play hopefully he'll get his pick in soon.

I'll be doing the final draw today anyway.

He was on today around 1.30pm. It would be a pity if anyone was to drop out at this stage when it's nearing the end.

Mr.Nice Guy

"Leave the memories alone..." :pac:

Yes folks we have at last reached the tenth and final round. It seemed to take an age but now we are nearing the finishing line. Before I get to the draw I must make the following clear in the hope we get a smooth transition into the final stage.

- By my count, six of you have missed your turn in the game and thus have one strike against you. As you know we have a two-strike rule and this was responsible for john concannon's elimination in an earlier round. It would be a real pain on everyone to lose another participant at this late stage so please be mindful of when your turn is, especially those who missed a turn already.

- The rules state that everyone can only have 2 tag teams and 2 women and you must have a mimimum of 1 tag team and 1 woman. Only 4 participants have yet to choose a woman so in the final round these 4 are obliged to choose a female in accordance with our rules. The four names are Spongey1975, gimmick, b.ie curious and Vince135792003.

Likewise by my count everyone has reached their 2 tag team limit except for Minto and callaway92. Therefore they are the only ones entitled to pick a tag team in the final round should they choose to.

OK then I hope everyone knows where they stand. Right then behold the final draft order...

Fozzy please cut-and-paste the above as always. Thanks.

Like the last round Justbringit89 is a pick behind us so he is free to make his Round 9 pick whenever he comes on. (Assuming he still wants to participate of course)

In the meantime, the rest of us can crack on with completing the final round so Spongey and Jayhaitch are free to pick away.

Following the completion of this round the picks thread will become the rosters thread and in that thread we will each make our case for our rosters as outlined in the plans in my sig. There will be a deadline put in place for everyone to outline their ideas. Most likely 3-5 days as I reckon that seems long enough for us all.

Don't worry about all this too much as I will clarify everything in more detail as soon as the last pick has been made and the rosters have been finalised.

OK then good luck to each one of you and, for the final time, Happy Pickings. :cool:

Tricity Bendix

Oooh. This is getting tense. I have my sights firmly set on one female talent, but both spongey and gimmick are ahead of me and they both have to pick their lassies. I have a funny feeling I'm going to be glued to boards tomorrow at work.

jayhaitch2

I don't want to pick...if I do then its all over


Pick made.
