My Two Cents.

Personally speaking, I haven't a problem with created characters but no matter how good they are written I never warm to them. Might be a bit blunt but IMO you've used your skills over x amount of weeks compiling a decent size roster, used what you have.

If you tweak a talent to link with somebody that's great but fictional characters sort of take away from your wise and shroud draft picks.

For example I'd invested more in a black voodoo witch being placed with Papa Shango if it was say Paige or another "dark" divas as opposed to Ms. Voodoo the fictional valet you have come up with.

Is that trail of thought a bit OTT?

No its spot on really. My character would be exactly like your example given

I wouldnt imagine that's allowed on your PPV.. Thats an extra pick basically.. You could theoretically create a clone of Punk or Austin or anyone then.. I'd say a created jobber for your house show's are grand though..

Yes I would imagine created wrestlers would strictly be 'local jobbers'. If the creation is like an authority figure e.g. Bounty Hunter's bounty hunter, am I right in thinking they could still be used as part of a feud (out of ring)? I.e. Could I have a match between wrestlers I've picked in the draft and the reason being there's a power struggle feud involving a created owner?

Anyone find it amazing we have a PPV called "Authourity rulez" and a PPV called "Anarchy Rules"?

last year the idea of a CAW was specifically brought up and it was decided we could each have / create 1, hense my chairman Bounty Hunter character or MNG Fibber McGee iirc, in previous years I also had a chairman character but there was some reason each time iirc like one year BH was only mentioned like the powers that be but then eventually there was the reveal that BH was actually my celeb from that year Jay Leno.

I personally prefer the idea of a GM as a CAW as when the card comes out for the PPV i wouldnt really care about wrestler X vs real wrestler but if it was 2 real wrestlers who are in a match set up by a fake GM well im not going to care about the match less as a result once the two wrestlers suit a rivalry and the story was good to build it etc

He was but I think he debuted in 69 so was ineligible for the round and the pick had to be remade.

That's pretty much exactly what I was wondering. I have a feud planned which involves a GM but the person I really wanted for the role was picked by someone else. I may still choose a real life person to play the role but wanted to know what my options were if I needed to change my draft plans.

Just after thinking of a pick which is still available which will change my whole main event but if they are there when i go to pick i cant say no

connemara man

connemara man

Pick made and PM sent another 2 big men to PCW

lebowskilite

Two more names and my PPV card is wrapped up. Starting write-ups now I think.

beakerjoe

Thanks to the rule breaker round the loss of Chono has been a blessing, as Ive managed to fill his role with a Pre 70's Legend in Inoki!

beakerjoe

Question TSC, Campo and D2D, I made a tag team pick in a previous round, Now one guy I have struggled to write for while the other is in a feud and sown up. Is it against the rules to change my pick to just a one of them and pick another tag team in a later round???

I am afraid so beakerjoe, only way you can pick another tag team is

A) if you only have picked 4 so far or
Trade a tag team away

Lord TSC

Yeah, campo is right. Definitely no changing of picks from previous rounds. Could open up a whole can of worms...

beakerjoe

Thought as much, was just changing my arm. Oh well,

Bounty Hunter

Happy enough to have the two Funks together in the BWA now to see what Crab Man does

ShagNastii

Now we're sucking diesel Re: pre 70s all time greats. Although it's wrestling from another age I always think these characters really add to the game and peoples write up's.

Moneymaker

MNG must have some sort of PW Draft hacks.

Absurdly good pick at this stage.

He has the worst draws and still one of the best rosters in the game the champ is coming out fighting for three in a row

Hes doing very well in the Picks considering his position in the draws average. The man to beat.

4 more left this round and its round 12! Wowsers. :eek:

campo

My 2nd show is up please give it a gander and as always feedback welcome, good and bad

beakerjoe

2nd show already.... Jesus I've only half through my first and waiting on the rest of my picks.

Alfred Borden

is the next round a stip round too?

beakerjoe

Actually are there any more stip rounds remaining???

JP Liz V1

So what is the deal for the next few rounds merged or not?
