From The Desk of Mr. Adam Cole

Dear Mr Necrominus,

In line with my lawyers, please note that in future you must respect my contract demands and instead of simply saying my name in the same line as other, lesser wrestlers, you must shout my name and give it the honor it deserves. In future, stand up tall, point your hands in the air and shout ADAM COLE BAY-BAY!!!

Yours,

Adam Cole (Bay-bay).

My debut show last year ended up as my PPV.

Topically for this thread, Adam Cole (BAY BAY) beat Ryback on that show.

Ryback is fun as he is a bit mad. I planned to have The Big Guy go on a rampage against the little guys (nearly everyone would be little in his eyes). I got him in a trade last year though without a partner.

Lots of routes for Ryback as he hopped from face to heel a few times, had some good catch phrases, some great humour in some of his stuff on TV and online. His recent history of speaking out could be put into a story, links to working dangerous etc. Great pick.

I would have liked to see Axel on the same rostet as Mr Perfect and Hogan though.

Cheese Wagstaff

May have taken a risk as I do still want others, but when I saw the man was still available I just could not say no!

LeeJM

Apologies all if I caused some confusion earlier with my pick. I actually forgot about the rule re eligible promotions. Thanks DM for doing the research to verify KOTN were a legal pick

Pick Made

Was hoping for them next round, good pick, both underrated as a tag team and single competitiors imo, I thought WWE might have tried for Magnus with his missus back

Lord TSC

Argh. Had a list of five, and all five went yesterday.

Will need some time to think things out.

beakerjoe

Hopefully Lordy makes his pick soon as Necro has PMd me his pick also, so we could see some movement begin again.

Remember, if you reckon your not online you can PM me your pick and I can post it for you to keep things moving.

Lord TSC

Sorry guys, I'm floored working at the moment so it will be a little while till I get my pick up.

DM_7

How many rounds is there, 15 or more?

15 rounds, no more no less

Lord TSC

Right lads, sitting down now to make my pick.

Know who I want. Just want to scout if he has a tag partner who I can grab too

As you are well entitled, I did the same with my Brian Pillman pick (all his eligible partners were taken)

Now to play the waiting game

Lord TSC

Just realized there's someone who I just can't pass up. I've got my list of guys who I want, but think will last a while longer, but this guy could go any time now.

I'm online for next while too Lord TSC so no need for the PM... I'll be watching with both interest and hope you don't take my planned pick:P

Lord TSC

Fire away then


When I realized Raven vs Broken Matt Hardy was a possibility, I couldn't not pick him. And Dreamer will fit into things as well. Really happy to nab those two this far in.

Bounty Hunter

Raven plus 1 (had a few eligible partners iirc) is a great pick imo and was def one on my list, Was considering pairing him with Waylon Mercy (Dan Spivey) but thought he'd be gone anyway.

beakerjoe

Get your teeth into round 9 guys, the round order is up

Bounty Hunter

no.3 hmm I wasn't sure if I was going to go the celeb route this year but that gives me options.

Lord TSC

Yikes! Defo not getting my first pick of celebs. But then I would guess he won't last past the first two picks for the round anyway :pac:

1st leaves me with a major, major issue.... not a bad one, mind you. Decisions, decisions....

PM sent to Campo. Delighted to get Moolah over the line. Not the most glamorous of picks maybe but exactly what I need for my plans.

Ive no interest in a celeb either, but coming 4th leaves me with that problem of being tempted depending on whos available. I can guess who the first celeb going will be easily, but it does depend on if said people even want a celeb.

Id be tempted to draft said fav to go early, but drafting him would radically alter my show.

I was tempted to draft him had he reached me, but he had no right being here at this late stage. Great pick at this late round

I don't think I can resist it actually...

LeeJM

There is hope for those who want a celeb as I have absolutely no intention of drafting a celebrity for my own promotion. I am open to drafting a celebrity for a trade though :-)

campo

Pick made I'm sure they are still available , could someone PM who is next as I'm on the road

beakerjoe

Tama Tonga and Tanga Roa are gone to Campo. The sons of Haku go for the first time together

PM sent to Paulie21

campo

Also my trade list includes Kevin sullIvan , Steve Williams and maybe even Piper

Is picking a celeb compulsory this round?
