So ... just to be clear in my own head .... in the celebs round ... we can pick any celeb that have appeared in any manner for the relevant promotions? And use in any way on our rosters, including as regular wrestlers?

(Sorry if it's a stupid question)

Yep, use them anyway you like. But this is the only round you can pick one up although you're not obliged to

Cheers ... it hadn't really occurred to me to pick a celeb ... but now I'll certainly be putting the thinking cap on.

It sometimes helps a storyline and since some of them can fight they are handy to have a match with them too

Bounty Hunter

They can make a good GM or manager / Valet too

Mr.Nice Guy

Pick made and PM sent. One of my least favourite public figures but that might play well on this game. :pac:

almost spat coke all over the laptop screen when I read about MNGs draft pick making a living by taking a pounding. It always is fun to read your shows but I can def see her adding an interesting comedic slant to the write ups

Cheers. That comedic potential was one of the main reasons I took her. I think she can play well in segments with the likes of Paige, Tyler Breeze, and of course Stone Cold.

DM_7

My pick will be up for 7pm.

Have to decide on a celeb or wrestler I will need. But am supposed to be working for another hour or so

Moneymaker

Very pleased with the roster im building.

Shame it will be let down by the pleb doing the writing. :pac:

brianregan09

Happy enough with my roster too so far maybe needs a few lowercard bodies yet though is 5 more rounds left ?

DM_7

Sad to find the guy I wanted most was not in any of the eligible promotions even though he was all around the US and two of the best promotions out there.


On the flip side one of the guys I wanted to mix him with is. Matt Sydal / Evan Bourne.

I bet he would have lasted and I could have picked someone else but didn't want to hold things up anymore!

brianregan09

I was going to grab Bourne on my next go around great pick pal , Also it has begun my 1st show is up and running have my 1st match done already too and 2 nice angles born out of it ! So exciting !

As you can see the gap between highest and lowest has narrowed further which is to be welcomed. We're all around the same mark, although poor Liz is still propping up the table.

Just a quick post to say I'm still following this. Loving the way most of the rosters are coming together can see serious money in some of the potential feuds.

If anyone wants to hop an idea off someone neutral just chuck me a pm and I'll give my honest opinion as a neutral. I will of course keep it confidential! Unless someone wants to bribe me for the info with a brown envelope full of cash :-)

Apologies all! A rough timeline of this is:

1am - Logs onto Boards, sees PM, doesn't know who to pick, sleeps on it.
12.30pm the next day - Goes to lunch, logs onto boards, remembers about pick. Then work-related ****storm.
12.30 until now: Laptop whirrs away while I am busy elsewhere.
6pm: I go back to laptop, curse my environmental irresponsibility, and pick Justin Gabriel

Apologies for the delay!
