The 10th Annual PW Draft 2017 Discussion Thread

beakerjoe

Yes, round 3 draw is made, and will be posted shortly, as Im going out shopping soon .........It will be up with a stip.

Yes, 3 stip rounds in a row..... Well its the 10th annual draft, got go big or go home!!!!

DM_7

I wonder if the stip will keeps some main eventers for round 4? Some high profile people have yet to be available and I wonder if the stip will keep that going.

I was close to going Miz over Cena. With the year he just had his stock is higher than when he was a World Champ.

I seem to have a strange fascination with the number 5 in my draft numbers so far... 5, 15, 5... Happy out with that so far!!

One year MNG seemed to get pick 20 a lot, so thank yourself lucky

beakerjoe

Hope the stip doesnt restrict anyone too much.....

Time to write down 24 names

Sorry to burst that little bubble, but you were 16th in round 2.....

thebostoncrab

There go The Bulldogs. Not surprised at all to see them go in this round, I'm sure they were a name on all our lists!

Bounty Hunter

11 that changes things, bring back the stip! ha

The Bulldogs were actually going to the BWA until a last minute Bluetista switcharoo

And I can't even count now to add insult to injury. Imnothehulk has posted his pick so I'll have mine up in a moment

beakerjoe

Bulldogs were my 2nd choice once it came to me. Dynamite is a great talent and I was so tempted to grab him and Davey Boy. I may regret it

Bryan v Billington would be epic..... I couldnt see past that match

Bounty Hunter

I actually though TBC would take the Bulldogs too I think they would fit his typical roster very well. nice little run of picks atm

LeeJM

I was wondering when the Bulldogs would go. One of the best teams in WWE history and both can be main event players on there own. Actually has anybody ever done a Bulldog vs Dynamite feud?

I could easily see Daniel Bryan having great, but very different matches, with both of the British Bulldogs. When I read the stipulation for this round they were first to pop into my head.

That said if they had been available I would have been very tempted to go against my initial instincts and pick CM Punk or Benoit, so was glad as they were picked away!

Necro

Pick made and PM sent. In the end both my choices came through to me but went with Edge as I've always been a big fan.

Bounty Hunter

Thought Edge could have gone back as far as Liz's pick great value.

I actually did a 30min Iron man match with Bryan Danielson & The Dynamite Kid one time in the early days of the BWA

I came *this close* to picking them. When I mentioned a tag team I was thinking of going with instead of Benoit, it was them, but I wanted to have a solid singles match I could fall back on when it comes to booking the show.

I'm surprised he got as far as me to be honest but there was a huge wealth of talent available that hadn't been in the first round I suppose. My first choice for the 2nd round got blown away when Owen Hart got drafted so I was scrambling for another choice for a while but delighted to have gotten Edge.

LeeJM

Pick made and PM sent to MNG. Delighted to get Sheamus. Have a role that he is gonna fit perfectly.

Lord TSC

1st! Yeay!

6 people left to break my heart :P And I have a feeling one person might, too...

EDIT: 3 actually.

Pretty much my own thinking, My main event is not set at this moment but I have an option for 2 big names to square off.

Plus i'd find it hard to not reference or fail to outdo how MNG elevated Dynamite King when he booked him recently. cos thats the thing as singles guys they could both have high profile places on any card if you push em right and decide you don't want em in the tag division. Plus of course they fit well with Bryan stylistically

Chalk me down for first whinge of the draft. Bummed my main event will suck. That draw and second round stip is killing me. 2th, 39th and 56th pick. I suppose I wouldn't be saying anything if it was somebody else. Not to worry.

All my guys have fallen this round and was banking on a decent draw round 3. Gonna start praying now.

I think this is where the tag stip may have hurt people. Some big names not eligible until round 3 could still be available to you now, in round 2, without the tag stip.

Buts its only when stips are tried that we see the knock on effect and I thought the stip in its own right was a good one.

beakerjoe

I feel Shags pain, I never looked at how the draw went and see how it affected people.

To compensate I may propse the following : would anyone have an objection to completely abolish the pre 1970 debut rule?

Its not much but it may open it up a bit to help those lower in round 3.

What do you guys think ?

In my defence I think the tag team stip worked out better as a round 2 stip than the rip round last year, sorry bh

no worries...

tbh people always get affected by random draws, if something needs changing tho maybe the next stip round could be that avg order round you mentioned or something but if it's the 70s rule being removed then that'd be fine with me having got a middling draw again in rd 3

What was the purpose of the pre 70s rule?

SlickRic

The draw is part of the game.

ShagNastii

No no leave it off. The draw and stips is all part of the game (and what actually makes the game). I was just having a moan cause I missed guys I was after. Let there be no drama this year.

There is a mountain of top draw names left.

It's actually a rule I was kinda phasing out the past few years originally suggesting to the person who ran it before me that why not instead of removing it for one round remove it from then on, then last year I had it much earlier.

Never really liked it myself as I always wanted to see where people would draft legends if they were available at the same time.
