Is picking a celeb compulsory this round?

No you can draft as normal is my understanding - but if you wanted a celeb for your fed this is the round to pick them.

Can celebs be used as wrestlers? Or are they stuck in the same role they were originally used in?

Once you draft a celeb its up to you how you used him.

Ill use an example like this :

I appear on Raw this week to plug my new movie, I do zero wrestling but I appear backstage and have a little banter with Cesaro.

I am now good to be drafted and I can be used in your fed however you see fit. Whether its GM, Commentator or in ring talent or even as guest hotdog vendor.

I'm more disappointed at lord tsc's pick number than my own for the celeb round.

ShagNastii

Sorry about the delay I'll hopefully have my pick up as soon as possible.

Finally got my pick up. I'll message next drafter now.

Bounty Hunter

Great pick, Goldie usually goes early enough as he is a good character to write for and that's without bonus Barry (Windham) .... now only 1 pick before me... awaits spongey screwing me

Bounty Hunter

knew it!

I came within one pick of having Hogan, The NWO, Andre and Bruno Sammartino on the same roster... changing tact with the next pick so... won't be long just gotta make a quick decision between 2 picks.

Great pick Spongey, he should have already gone for sure. Just getting my decided upon pick confirmed by Joe then it'll be Joe himself to pick.

daithi1989

Sorry for the hold up - will have my draft up in the next 10-15 min.

I didn't realise finlay and swoggle teamed so much but seems like they did , poor swoggle he was the death nail of every good angle in wwe in recent times

daithi1989

There are other obvious GM's available, but I couldnt find any that I could draft someone with, so whats why Hornswoggle was chosen. Finlay was a strong mid-card performer, and will slide into intended storylines.

Have other people I would like to draft as well, but wanted to lock in a GM. The stip in next round nearly changed my mind, and I was almost gonna have a Celeb as GM, but don't think I'll bother much with a celeb now.

beakerjoe

Old Fit Dave and Horny actually wrestled loads over the course of a year so they are well eligible. I wonder if Lord TSC had him earmarked considering Swoggles affiliation with Meekman

campo

Look forward to seeing who won't be picked after 15 rounds , few biggish names still about

campo

Also I would love to see a return of round 16 where we get to pick someone for someone else's roster

No round sixteen but there will be a variation on that round at some point

Mr.Nice Guy

I'll have my pick up shortly.

Lovely, could have a nice run as MNG, then Necro, Lee, Bounty Hunter and myself are all online. Jurassic Park

Necro

Yep, ready to go once MNG posts his pick.

Necro

Pick up and PM sent to Lee - Never in a million years did I think I would draft Trump, but it was too good to pass up....

beakerjoe

MNG with a great value pick at this stage, Marufuji obviously couldnt go in the nxt round with Kenta his usual partner, so him and Suzuki going now is a great steal.

And to the surprise of no one, Trump us the first celeb drafted. Congrats Necro

I just couldn't pass up the opportunity of having Hussan and Trump on the same roster. It completely changes the plans I had in place but it's worth it!!

LeeJM

Sorry lads Im just agonizing over my pick. A few choices and not really sure what direction I wanna go

LeeJM

Apologies for the delay. Everytime I thought I found a team I wanted it turned out one half had already been drafted. So went with Pac and Lynn as I cleared them as a valid pick earlier today with Joe. They will fit the role but definitely not my first choice.

Ronda was only celeb I considered - AJ v Ronda was something I considered. Not to worry!

I only had her and The Trump on my list of celebs, she is one of the only ones where it doesn't seem odd / a miss match for her to be in the ring vs one of my wrestlers. Most celebrities I'd probably only want in a manager / GM (non fighter) role.
