The 10th Annual PW Draft 2017 Discussion Thread

A Brad Maddox Guy

Just waiting on confirmation of eligibility. I had Kendrick on my list so that makes the next one a bit easier to make. That youtube link isn't working for me TBC?

I challenge everyone to put a subtle Simpsons reference into one of your fed's storylines.

I've found in past Drafts that by around Rounds 7 & 8 things start to become a little clearer in terms of voting for best rosters i.e. while it's too early to choose your 1st & 2nd etc you generally have an idea of which rosters stand a good chance of getting into your top 5 barring any surprises. Of course there's usually strong picks towards the end to allow someone to break into the top 5 but the foundations are already there in most cases.

This year I can honestly say I haven't a clue who's going to be getting Roster Points, there are no stand-out rosters imo because every single one is strong in terms of star power, name status, wrestling ability, promos, fantasy feud potential & diversity as well as real life links. We could be voting for 10 rosters and I still wouldn't have a notion who to pick. Wouldn't be surprised if everybody scores points this year and while the best writing usually wins out anyway, at this early stage I expect it to be the deciding factor by some margin.

Hard to believe Bockwinkel was still available and with a tag partner too he is a great get at this stage

Why not?

Corvin was on an NWA Ireland show and Bonesaw was on an NWA Scotland show (maybe more but stopped checking after I saw that one).

Well Ill be a monkeys uncle, both had 1 appearance each under the NWA banner.

That makes them ok in my book, cheers DM_7

Looking on my phone earlier I could not see any NWA or otherwise promotions. But while looking on the desktop in work, I see both just..... just make it. The picks stands and Lee can ignore my PM

Yeah. When he went on the Goldberg run he was fairly one demensional but when he developed into "The Big Guy" he was really entertaining.

Bounty Hunter

I have a feeling this is around the time when draft picks become much more of a choice between big names somehow still available or guys you actually need more so as to complete your planned card / feuds.

The elevation of certain wrestlers in the CWC, the ladies and NXT plus the brit wres scene, the choice is getting greater, no doubt.

Necro

I'm definitely looking towards guys I need to complete my feuds and lower midcard now. Fairly confident I have my main event plans in place . 2 or 3 more picks and I can start drafting my rough outline for the shows I think.

His feed me more chat got him over as a face, shame WWE ruined his push or did he get injured?

Bounty Hunter

Someone else got injured for him to get rushed into the title scene when still on his streak but too early to be taking the title from Punk. He hasn't always been described as a safe worker but if they built on his run like no doubt his new draft fed will though he could have been money. It'd be interesting who he gets paired up against.

Maybe Beth or Chyna :P tbh not sure yet, he could even be up for trade if anyone wants to make an offer
