PW Draft 2014 - Discussion Thread

Lord TSC

Still not decided on R13-15. I reckon it might be a good idea to see how quick we get through rounds 11 and 12, and how fast picks are still coming, before we make a final decision.

Still to pick
17. Furious Red
18. Beakerjoe
19. Bounty Hunter
20. Hashtag Heel

Round 11

STIPULATION: Rule Breaker Round.
For one round only, the rules are very flexible. We've been discussing it over in the discussion thread, but the following rules are not in affect this round.

• Celebrities are eligible for this round.
• Wrestlers who debuted pre-1970 are eligible for this round.
• Tag teams can have ONE World Champion in them.

Can we pick a celeb with no association to wrestling?

Hmmm....I had thought about doing that with the celeb round. I worry about lifting the limitations a bit though; I'd worry about people drafting random ass people.

Thoughts?

Alfred Borden

maybe if we dont do the three rounds together the order should still be the same for people who got bad placings throughout? Like the same order of picking for three rounds in a row.

Im against it. It could get ridiculous. I adding a celeb is good enough once they have wrestling background.

As regards the multi round pick, after hearing Brad Maddoz view he also has a point. I think the above suggestion is ideal.

Id have round 13-14 together and 15 on its own with same round order. Its a comprise I think to both sides of the arguement

Bounty Hunter

After Beaker now and again next round, Was hoping for a good draw in this next one as I def need my rule breaker pick for storyline purposes but im still somewhat confident I will get my guy at no.13

Really regret already having my tag team quota filled now that we have this stip though but I guess All the tag picks I got are pretty essential for my plans

Celeb wise I dont mind either way but no I wouldnt be using it this way

beakerjoe

my post isn't going up....

Bounty Hunter

tis up, I had those boys last year - great tag team although obviously might not be too well known to wwe only fans. Now NJPWs bookers too so could be used in a GM type role and obviously judging by NJPW in recent years they know what their doing

brianregan09

Ahh thats a pity would love to use a random Celeb in mine , Its only ridculous if you write it badly

Prop Joe

The stip threw me a little as i went looking for a bargain but decided to stick to my original plans,Delighted i got Swagger so late in the draft..Picks are flying now

Hashtag_HEEL

Dying to get my celeb! Would love to grab them!

ShagNastii

Hate to piddle on cornflakes but I'd also be against the picking of ANY celeb. I think I would take away from the heart of the game, wrestling and wrestling superstars.

Am I the only one clueless in terms of picking something special for this round? Most world champs with partners are gone, only a handful of pre-70s that would light you up and anyone really wanting a celeb has gotten them.

Sorry for being a bit of a moan but I'm more asking am I missing a beat here? Drawing quite the blank.

By ridiculous I mean in the case of say, picking an celeb, you could pick any well known UFC fighter and use him. It could get to farcical stage where you could pick any well known Fighter, movie strong man or Pro footballer. Every roster thus could have a UFC fighter which would dilute some of the fun.

That being said I had an idea for an actor myself

As usual Ill play the cards as TSC deals them and ill be fine with it

brianregan09

Well I think the fun in is everyone is gonna pick something diffrent

Ah its an each to their own situation isn't it. Im not totally against it, but gun to my head I wouldn't be mad for it.

I wont moan if it works out for ya Bri

Lord TSC

Yeah, I think we're better off having the limit and keeping the fact they have to have some relation to wrestling. I just think things could get too out of hand if not.

Anyway, I know who I want this round. And if I get him, I can start writing my shows

Much the same with me!

Alfred Borden

only a suggestion but with the pace of the draft this year, would 20 rounds be a good idea?

brianregan09

20 rounds wouldn't leave a whole lot of wrestlers to be drafted though would it ?

ya your right actually, i have barely any left on my list as it is, suppose we would only be picking up scraps at that stage.

brianregan09

I think maybe if the draft was for a longer term thing like 2 or 3 ppvs this would be cool but its a very short window with just one PPV could ya even use that many guys

Hashtag_HEEL

I remember the draft going on until near mania last year. I remember writing my PPV a couple of hours before mania too. This is lovely and quick!

Lord TSC

you will miss it when ist gone


due to the Speed this year ist probably the only time I would actually consider a secondary draft of some sort as is oft suggested when the draft Ends just as People realise they are about to suffer withdrawl symptoms.

waltersobchak

Is the 3 month rule relaxed for this round?!?! Could make it more interesting

Liz I think Kia Stevens has already been drafted as Awesome Kong
