    Bout time Dragon was picked

    I was sure he was a cert to get a Round 1 pick


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


    Del Rio is a good guy to write for and now hes gone too. Round is moving along nicely

    I take it the stip for round 4 will be announce after the last pick in this round?

    Round Order and stip can change a mans plans in an instant!

    I would guess we will have the draw / stip before then but obviously not until TSC is online as I think he is the only 1 in the know atm. Yeah Del Rio is good to right for as we found out last year with him in Mr Nice Guys Main event vs Flair

    It 'twas a toss open between him and one other but I think promo wise ADR could be good

    I'm pretty shocked getting steamboat to be honest... Especially at round 3.. Excited to hopefully get someone to match him! Loving this years draft lads..

    For the record, I'll always try and get the details of the next round up around pick 15. Means you'll have some time to mull over your choices and fate, but not too long ;)

    Anyway, Round 4 is a classic and coming quite early this year, but for a reason.

    About to have my dinner and when I finish, I'll post up the details :)

    Mr. Perfect was the top guy I wanted for Kurt Angle, damn you lebowskilite

    Details of Round 4.... >>Right Here<<

    Two reasons I've decided to run this round nice and early this year.
    1. There's still quite a few big names left non-pre-70s wise, so people will have to decide do they let a big name go to get their pre-70s pick in, or sacrifice a big name from the past to get a big name from the present.
    2. With the idea of doing Rounds 13,14 and 15 all at once, it cuts down the actual time we'll have to get a few stip rounds in, and one idea suggested and that will be used needs to go Round 12 as a result.

    So yeah. The idea is to open up some more big names early on to add some power to the rosters but also still have decisions to make. :)

    Could be a tough call for a few people to make in the next round.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,364 ✭✭✭campo


    Talking about stip rounds I think the celebrity one should be removed and and a different one added , I don't think the celeb one ever added much

    I love the celeb round! It's always handy for a manager!

    I think it would depend on what was added personally as I did always enjoy the variety on rosters that the celeb round could result in and sure you could always opt out of it if you wanted and make a non celeb pick


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


    I like the pre-1970s guys being available earlier. It will pose an interesting dilemma on whether to go recent or vintage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,968 ✭✭✭ShagNastii


    Will have mine up in the or twenty. Need a think whether I pick the last of the six or seven main event guys left or people linked to Flair/Cena.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,968 ✭✭✭ShagNastii


    I'd agree that the celeb round is a bit of a dud. I know a really big stip caused much controversy last year but I'd love another whopper that really throws the cat amongst the pigeons.

    to be honest I think ive liked all the stip rounds before even the controversal ones we had in the past, the only thing like this I never liked was the tag team limit rule as I felt it limited creative picks. Always thought if you can find great 2 for 1 picks you should be applauded and the bigger your roster can be (restricted by having only 15 picks anyway, plus the World champion rules), the more options you have in terms of writing angles etc imo

    Draft time always knocks my post count up a pile cos ill do numerous random posts like this ^^ everyday in this thread :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,364 ✭✭✭campo


    And there goes warrior , it was between him and ADR for me

    You got revenge and then some by taking Mr. Sandow!


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


    Wow.. Cena Flair and Warrior! That's some serious drawing power!!!

    I actually really liked the tag team limit rule as it put a stop to needless picks which was a real annoyance of mine. It was like Eric Bischoff's WCW policy before with guys being taken when there was no real intention of using them.

    I think Managers should come packaged with Wrestlers too like tag teams kind of similar situation


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,012 ✭✭✭✭Alfred Borden


    great pick with kane there, he was the first on my list at the start of this round and never expected to get this close to him so kind of raging :mad: :pac:

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


    Interesting pick from Liz, Very early for him to be picked so im guessing she has a plan for The Brain in mind! Heenan and Sandow could be an interesting combo!

    He was really the only pick I wanted for the Pre 70s round, brilliant manager and commentator

    Thank fcuk I got Sammartino! He really hates people who have less than strict morals which is why he is going to be perfect for SCSA and Devitt! So many great feuds already forming in my head and so far it has pretty much gone exactly as I wanted it to!
