Great pic by Prop Joe, Id make them both singles stars myself....

weekend seems to be the slowest time during the draft. Would love to get my next two picks in before monday evening but doesnt look too likely

beakerjoe

Im about to start reading the shows which have gone up. Looking forward to it, still thinking Ill write my shows when my roster is complete, is any one else thinking of doing this?

Would it be a bad idea to hold off ???

I have bits wrote but have people that i havent drafted yet wrote in so definitely wont be putting anything up until after the draft

Bounty Hunter

in not going to put up my next one for at least a few more rounds for the same reason

beakerjoe

I have bits written but others are needed to complete it. Have 2 feuds written up for the first show. Gonna hold off til after the draft. hopefully draft will be complete in under 2 weeks

5 shows + 1 PPV ? Or 5 altogether?

5 all together I believe ( and a post introducing your show, titles etc.)

Alfred Borden

Thats an absolute steal, great pick. 2 out of the next 3 online so might get a bit of a roll now

Moneymaker

Bugger. He was next on my list.

Machismo Fan

Loved booking Malenko the year I did the draft. Mostly because it's very easy.

Quick question, can you trade a wrestler if you have used him in a show?

You can of course


Each year it was 5 house shows then your PPV. This is because the 5 house shows are purely optional

Dean was my pick for the next round, or the pick if my loophole pick fell through...which it hasn't yet!

Hashtag_HEEL

Who are people looking to trade? I may have two people that could be out on their ear!

Alfred Borden

depending on my next two round picks, test and albert definitely up for grabs.

connemara man

Im open to offers and im thinking of writing a trade iv been offered into my story

I don't know that's the problem. If I get a good offer for someone I'd consider it. And I'm currently thinking hard about an offer

Jester252

I'm open to offers.

Hashtag_HEEL

Who are people looking to get rid of? I'm looking to shift Hardy and MVP if I can't come up with anything better for them.

5 shows + PPV

Am i right in saying how this is how the draft plays out?

Round 11 - No Stip
Round 12 - "Wildcard Round"
Round 13,14,15- No Stip - Rounds merged into one

thebostoncrab

Is anyone else not crazy about merging round 13 - 15 together? In previous years the draft would be moving very slowly and many big names would be gone at this stage, but things have been moving at lightening pace and there are still big names left

mrkiscool2

Man, writing is actually really tough. I have it all in my head like so it's not that, but I spent about an hour writing my first segment! It was a pain in the hole! On the bright side, happy with how it is going so far!

as far as I can tell rd 11 is the stip round then 12 is the last normal one and 13/14/15 go together as one big round. This is going off the fact that TSC said he originally planned rd10 to be the rule breaker but wanted opinions and got things like the following

thebostoncrab wrote: »

I'd say let one more non-stip round go, then round 11 brings in the rule breaker stip, as there are still some big names left in the draft which are normally all gone by now, so give it one more round for them to be picked up

which iirc he agreed with.

tbh my concern with it is that although it will speed things up it will also mean a lot less time to write shows as Mrk says it can be quite a process some times and takes time plus as you said especially if 11 is the rule breaker there could still be some big names left in rd13 and it would be a big disadvantage then to be last in the order and be left with 3 complete jobbers while someone else can get 3 biggish names.

Having said that I dont think who ill draft from now on will change anyway no matter who is available later so meh even if in an ideal world id just do 14/15 together I really dont mind
