Ive given up trying to tempt Shagnasti in my pursuit of Masahiro Chono.

Ive made other arrangements and should be taking advantage of the Rule Breaking round!

Prop Joe

Shame the draft has gone on a go slow the last few days

beakerjoe

Im about to put my pick up now. Just doing some final research after Chono got nicked

beakerjoe

Hes making me feel batter after losing Chono.

ShagNastii

I feel bad for snagging Chono before you got the chance but that's a beast of a pick. Serious value in both TBK and Zeek.

Lord TSC

Between the Pms I've got today and now that, really am quite sad. Kendrick was definitly coming up quick for me

beakerjoe

Ah they were in my mind a while back, not sure how much they tagged together but after a little research I said why not.

Bounty Hunter

woo another trade made this time with thebostoncrab

Dr Death Steve Williams for Bruiser Brody

well pleased with my trading, it has meant that essentially my 3rd and 8th round picks have snagged me: The Million Dollar Man, Andre The Giant & Bruiser Brody!

ShagNastii

I know when it comes to write ups cross promotional stuff is welcome. Was there interaction between any Feds last year?

It is so frustrating trying to find out how often a team tagged together......aggghhhh

Fusion Pro Wrestling have issues a statement regarding the trade:

"Bruiser Brody has been a liability to the rest of the roster. His reckless style has placed other in danger and many of our roster have said they want to be able to perform at the PPV at full health. For the sake of our roster, we have terminated Bruiser Brody's contract."

Stan Hansen, Brody's tag partner, has requested meetings with FPW heads as he was not consulted about the move. He has declared that "what ever bum they dig up for that trash roster will have to deal with me, you have taken from me a man I respect and a chance to win those tag titles. You think Brody was dangerous? Boy, I'll beat them so hard with my cowbell that even Brody would be horrified."

When Hansen was informed that Dr. Death Steve Williams had been traded over, he remained quiet, choosing instead to punch a hole in FPW office walls.

Tried it and when I click on matches I get nothing even though they at least tagged together twice in a 3 month period

thebostoncrab

I'm before you I know but I think TSC PM'd you my next tag team pick so unless it's them I won't be looking to steal your pick if you want help finding matches for them

Sweet, if you want help tracking down matches then for your pick just let me know

Alfred Borden

anyone interested in trades just pm me!

beakerjoe

Bam Bam Bigelow is up for grabs with the right offer

JP Liz V1

I thought BH might have taken Beth next round if MNG hadn't, she is a great pick


For the anything goes round, can you take another tag team (even if you already have five) or a mixed gender tag team and also could we pick a celeb with no association to wrestling?

I had considerdit i'll be honest but think I was going to go another direction with Nattie (assuming I get the chance at no.19 this round).

Think I know who I want in the rule breaker round but should that person be taken im very curious about the first of your questions re-the tag limit rule. I dont know idf the celeb one will count but it could throw up some very interesting names if it did

JP Liz V1

With MNG having Punk, AJ and Beth on his roster hope he does Punk on a pole/ladder match I'll loan him Lita for it too

Alfred Borden

Anyone want Drew Mcintyre, just pm me

ShagNastii

Will there in a "pick for somebody else" stip this year?

doesen't sound like it from what TSC said but I alway like that round and would enjoy if it was tagged onto a later round. For example if in the last round you made your pick(s) and the chose someone for someone elses roster, especially as at that late stage you wouldnt be picking big names others might have plans for but simply people who storyline wise would be interesting to see on a certain roster of pre selected people they may have history with.

Another tag team - I thought about it, but think it wouldn't be massively fair on people who have decided not to be drafting teams so far. If people have hit 5 teams already, I think they should have enough people so far, and I'd worry about the logistics of people who might hit Team #5 later but not get to pick a 6th.

Mixed-gender - Sure...if you can fulfill the usual 3 month rule and provide proof they teamed together regularly. And I have a feeling that's going to be pretty hard given how we've gone so far in the draft. I know I got two PMs yesterday about teams; one had details of a tag title run but not much about how often they worked together, while one had a team who had teamed pretty regularly on house shows. First I would be iffy about, second, to me, was grand. So if you want mixed-gender, just make sure you can back it up with examples of a long standing team

I aint giving up on that team yet...PM on the way

Bounty Hunter

caught in two minds about the evaluation thread, I have 1 and a bit shows already written but I havent drafted all the people mentioned on them yet and it might take a few rounds to do so. Do I change the shows, do I take a risk and mention people that others could steal from me or do I just wait and post multiple shows up later... hmmm
