    cant wait for this next round to start, hoping on 3 here but doubt they drop to 20 but never know. Speed seems to have picked up too


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,083 ✭✭✭waltersobchak


    Personally i think the reversal for round one and two has worked brilliantly. Everyone seems to have pretty much what they want for their first 2 choices..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    True, Ambrose was who I wanted. Solomon Crowe was a great bonus and made getting him possible. Wanted Cena but Goldberg can fit his role and still have 4 guys id like and all very likely can be got in 4 rounds as they aren't big names. Would have liked Tanahashi but what can you do?

    Damn 19 I really want to set up a feud that's in my head and I don't know think my next pick will last


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Great work getting through the round. I didn't expect to get to pick when I came on. I'll have my pick up shortly.

    Punk and Hogan... MNG's gonna be the man to beat again lads...

    Oh and now i can say BH Misawa vs Hogan was originally my first choice, but for the fact you did it in 2010..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Hogan wouldn't have suited my plans at all and to be honest I don't think he would of suited many others either. But Him and Punk potentially Head to head is money. Well played MNG


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    I had an interesting idea for a feud with Punk involving someone not picked yet. Maybe I'll reveal it later. But Hogan and Punk was too fun to pass up.


  • Registered Users Posts: 418 ✭✭lebowskilite


    Such a shame Hogan won all those world titles or you could've picked Brooke along with him :P

    Punk/Hogan though, that could be all kinds of awesome...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Ok lads Ive done a lot of research during work this morning and rough ideas about what id like to do in my promotion.

    Ive got 2 interesting tag teams lined up if i can get them (and approval from the powers that be).

    Really looking forward to getting a few talented guys for the price of 1.

    Though i do realise these picks in my head may not materialise due to other people potentailly picking them, im having fun thinking up picks and what to do with them if accuired.

    Basically what Im trying to say is ,Im having fun and thanks for letting me be a part of it.

    I learned a hell of a lot in my first few drafts. never knew he tagged with him, or that guy wrestled in that promotion etc it's great fun in that sense too. Hell I say my first few but I just drafted Nakamura and didnt know he was eligable until i looked into it


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,487 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    I swear to God, if my pick goes now, right before it's my turn...

    Just out of curiousity , how was he eligible? I assumed be cause Tanahashi wrestled in tna that he was eligible and therefore he could bring any tag partner with him?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,823 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    He had a TNA match himself, think hes even listed as a TNA alumni on wiki (though it wasn't wiki i found the match on as thats not the most reliable/detailed for individual matches)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Moneymaker

    Agreed just need one more pick and writing out a storyline for a few already.

    Just wondering, has anyone got exactly who they wanted after 2 picks???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    With mrk, TSC, Brian and Lebowskilite all online now, 4 picks could go by in 30 mintues

    Not really, Undertaker was more a response to picking Muta. Though in saying that I can't complain at all about who I have. I've a few people I want but I don't know whether to risk them not being picked in order to get a bigger name this round.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,487 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Moneymaker, did you PM the get guy?

    Well for the 2nd Year in a row CM Punk has gotten out of reach. I'm happy though to continue the KOW died from last year though.

    Greedy old me thought with a lucky Draw I could get Cena Ambrose and Angle in first 3 rounds. First stip hampered it but 1 outta 3 with my third pick to come is still good.
