any chance these draft threads could be stickied, so those not taking part can work around them easier?

The picks thread most likely will be (when I get home from work) this one has always been active enough in the past though that it wasnt needed

Annnnd were off. R.I.P my time and productiveness.

Noooice stip to get us going. Many many big names to be fished.

Good luck to all.

Great stip, all 20 should be able to leave this round with great talents!

Hashtag_HEEL

There's two lads I've go my my eye on. Really want to have them feud so hopefully they'll be around for a bit, I doubt it though.

beakerjoe

both ROH guys?

Hey, means your 7th for the next round which is good! I'm 20th so I have like 9 guys (8 really, one is a tag team) that I would love to get from this Stip and if they are taken well I'll just have to find someone else and rethink my strategy for my round 2 pick!

lebowskilite

Ah yes, I'm well aware of that upshot don't worry

beakerjoe

Im hoping for one ROH guy who id love to have, if I cant get him theres other talented guys I can grab. Being pick six I reckon ill get him if other guys ahead of me go for bigger marque names

Bounty Hunter

after only now getting home and having the chance to see the stip and have a quick look at some potential picks i'd have actually loved to have gotten the opposite draw in the order, 18th now and 3rd in the next round - I've a feeling I coulda picked up a great choice later in this round considering the smart stip (that said people here generally know their stuff so all the top choices could be gone too). Considering the role reversal I wonder will the next round be a stip round too.

Ive a quick question about the celebrity round (if there is one)

I was looking and I just assumed that the celebrity had to be wrestling related. Then I saw Jose Mourinho picked.

My question does teh celebrity have to be wrestling related?

Lord TSC

Jose once appeared on WWE Raw. Although he was only in the crowd, Shane McMahon challanged him to a fight. So he has always been considered technically available :P

Mourinho appeared on a Raw iirc with Shane O Mac ripping into him or something akin to that, I think that one may have been a bit dicey as generally the idea was that he had to do more than just be in the crowd though and I can't remember (he was allowed so maybe he did) if he did have a bigger part in a show once.

Are these ROH picks graded on the strength of their ROH career only, or their entire career?

How do you mean?

beakerjoe

I assumed once that person had wrestled or appeared in ROH at least once, he could be picked!

lebowskilite

^That's it, yeah.

Yes just to clarify he does not matter if he/she appeared once on ROH or their entire career, just as long as they made an appeareance

Moneymaker

2nd question;

If we pick a guy is he judged on his condition today or on the peak of his career?

The peak of his career but really it's up to you how you write him in

Alfred Borden

lebowskilite

You can write them at any point in their career I think.

You can pick a tag team or former tag team once there are no previous world champions on the team

As a draft newbie myself, I can easily say my thoughts are "Where the hell is MNG?" Only dying to get this started with my free weekend. :pac:
