Knew it would be Eddie or one other person going first. I reckon i could make a safe bet over number two as well

hmmmm.

i hoped beyond hope i'd get Eddie, even though it was highly unlikely.

Eddie v AJ would be fapworthy.

i think i know who the next will be, and i'm guessing who i'll be drafting based on that. either way, i reckon i'm pretty damn sorted.

Ohhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhh

Eddie was my first choice too but more than happy with Macho Man:D

SlickRic

The British Bulldogs get broken up for the first time in 5 years of this draft. Good pick though

Garseys

and in one sweep, D2D got my 1st choice and back up...

Machismo Fan

Hart and Bulldog are a great pick. I have two or three in mind but I doubt they'll be left so late in the round. It'll be interesting to see who's left by then. Last night while I couldn't sleep was the first time I really thought about what I was going to do. Fantasy booking is infectious.

Furious-Red

Yea i have a few ideas myself (prob wont be massive star power but they will do ). Come on Flah :D

the groutch

not too bothered with this round once I get an early pick in round 3

thebostoncrab

I'm not too worried about this round, I accepted that I'm not going to get someone high profile so I have a back up plan that will just add to my main event.

Owen and Davey is an EXCELLENT way to use the stip to your advantage , very well played!

Opens up ideas for me for round three onwards though because I had my eyes on a certain tag team partner of Davey that I think would kill Alberto is a main event

Lord TSC

I'm not even bothering to make plans till it's my turn. I'll go for the biggest name I can but I won't be picking Brock's opponent this round...

The Volt

Devastated not to get Perfect again. He was tremendous fun to write for last year.

Bounty Hunter

seems one mans definite no.1 pick for the round has gone at no.5 showing tis always difficult to predict the draft... dread/intregued to think how Flah might book Benoit

flahavaj

Pick made there. Turned down bigger draws for pure workrate. This year Im picking the roster Id like to see rather than trying to second guess what will go down well with everyone else.

Spaffing at the thought of a Benoit vs KENTA match up here.

Lord TSC

Quick word of warning; I'll be away most of tomorrow and Friday morning. Not sure what way my net will be; I should be able to post from my phone if my pick comes up, but it likely won't be a write up but rather just the name of the wrestler.

Bounty Hunter

atleast one huge name im surprised didnt make the top 5 in this round though maybe people dont think he is the easiest to write for

TSC: you could always pm someone else your pick if you dont think youll be online and they can act as a proxy

Loving and hating your pick D2D. I was thinking of all the dead wrestlers who I'd want to pick and came up with 11 of them (I am 11th in the draw). But now you've thrown a spanner in the works with that pick. Great pick all the same.

Wanker.

Furious-Red

Pick made , was just hoping Benoit would have been left for me . Really wanted to have Benoit vs Roode

thebostoncrab

Damnit, two years in a row and I have to burn a storyline involving Mike Awesome.

Benoit was best wrestler I had to book last year, really fun writing his promos. Here is hoping he is as just as much a loose cannon for you as he was for me

Bounty Hunter

Interesting thing about the early stips is that it might make people think twice about which big name person to draft in rd3 when they are all available and instead of taking the biggest name available people might instead be trying to match up a pick with ones they already got. Its kinda nice to be potentially picking the star of your roster to actually suit your roster as apposed to on his own

Bounty Hunter

anyone going to be online later for sure, odds are given the time difference we will get the next few picks (just going by early rds speed) before I get to work tomorrow so i'll pm someone my 10th place pick unless we get a big run of picks in the next 30mins or so

i'll be online most of the evening if you want to pm me your pick(s)

glenjamin

I'm right after you BH so I can do it before mine.

pm sent (well in a min)

hoping for another first time draft pick with this one just like your very smart pick earlier

A Primal Nut

Another rule question:

If I pick a dead wrestler in this round, does his tag-team partner also have to be dead? Or can I pick a dead guy with a living tag-team partner?

For this round, If your picking a tag team, both members have to be dead

you can pick the dead guy but cant also pick the living guy till a non deceased wrestler round so it probably wouldnt be worth it

Garseys

Pick made and quite happy with it

I'll have to see what pick we're on before we go in the morning; no point giving a list of five names if there's 8 picks left. On top of that, I've not even bothered thinking of who I want yet; there's two guys I'd like but both are big enough names that I'll be amazed and astonished if they last till me :P

I don't see why there'd be a problem posting the pick from my phone. What I would ask is if someone could PM the person after me for me when I make my pick?

thebostoncrab

There are three names I'm dumbfounded as to why they haven't been drafted yet. Im suddenly getting my hopes up that one of them slips through the cracks

the groutch

someone should have tried to pick Kevin Nash

JP Liz V1

Pick made and pm sent to CMPunked

Hush, you. You'll encourage people to look things up.

There's one guy I am gobsmacked at, and am now making the mistake of hoping he remains unpicked for a few more rounds.

There's one in particular I can't believe hasn't been picked. I toyed for ages between he and Benoit and only went for Benoit because I'm not taking drawing power into account at all this year. Could be a quite hard guy to book well but still should have been taken by now.

Lord TSC

Looking at possible matches for Brock as a possible main feud, there's two guys I could see booking against him. Both are names I reckon will be gone by me though

Mr.Nice Guy

Anyone ahead of me going to be around tonight just so I know if I should hang about?

glenjamin

I'll be up for the next few hours waiting to make mine.

D2D

I've BH's pick ready for after CMPunked so we'll get through a few if CM is around

Mr.Nice Guy

Grand, I'll wait for a bit then. We could get a few going possibly.

the groutch

any sign of CM Punked?
I was hoping to get mine in before work tomorrow afternoon

CMpunked

Big thanks to o2 for completely breaking down the draft today by not allowing me online all day.

Anyway. I'll be making my pick now. Very sorry lads.

campo

Nice pick CM always wanted Andre is one of my rosters but could never fir him in to a decent storyline

glenjamin

Damn you CMPunked! Was hoping no body would remember he was eligible. I'm guessing who BH's going to pick so I'm back to the drawing board.
