Nope, had initially planned on drafting him myself before the time in between picks gave me my idea for Santino & Ryder

Jimmy the star pick on your roster

Joey you are putting in some work leading the draft. Well done to you.

Another 100 on top of the 80 bonus wrestlers is huge effort.

Lord TSC

Ooooh, Shannon Moore absolutely fits. Thanks Beaker

I could be wrong but I have a pick who appeared in that promotion on my list. If its the same pick I hope you get them. Would suit your roster.

Great work Necrominus (as always).

I say you are wrong but I am now intrigued to who you are thinking of LOL

I hope I don't regret the fact that I drafted Taka after a company night out invoking an open bar.

Dory Funk Jr has to be the best bonus pick possible. NWA world champion for over 4 years, invented the Texas Cloverleaf and completes one of the best ever tag teams in The Funks. MNG will no doubt be very pleased and able to use him very well

I thought I was being generous with Jesse Ventura! That's a great bonus. Had been considering him for myself ... I waited a round too long!



Also ... just putting out that I haven't quite found something for MVP to do ... so may be available for a trade.

beakerjoe

All Bonus picks are now up in the picks thread, sorry about the delay, looking up a potential pick for someone has taken a bit of time from me.

Also if Campo, if you want to run your pick by me Im all ears

While Dory is a great in the wrestling world, he is very seldom drafted in the Boards draft over the years, with yourself BH being the only person to draft him in the last 5 years.

I wished MNG had drafted another bonus pick who i loved but alas thats the draft.

On that note I will reveal all bonus picks when the drafting is over, a bit like what you could of won in Bullseye

Bounty Hunter

Cheers Joe, never even considered Tatanka but obviously he does have links to Dibiase and to a lesser extent Bam Bam and Diesel (Nash) so I'd say he could fit into a role even though I'm not 100% sure on what yet.

JP Liz V1

I'm next to pick yes as got no pm?

Imnotthehulk

Looks like you're up to me JP Liz

Necro

Spent most of the morning writing my first show. Realised I need to wait until after round 15 to post it as I need 3 picks to finish it off... I can't even post the preview show as I have a preview of all the stars on the roster in it.

I was the same way last year, I was just waiting on my last pick to post, as my first write up had them as my tag champs.

This year is different, running the draft has curtailed my writing to only half my preview post, but Im not waiting on anyone to post it, I just need time.

ShagNastii

All fantastic bonus picks this far. I'm getting that dreaded feeling Jim Bowen will be showing me a big shiny speedboat at the end of the draw.

Tatanka is a guy that is so underrated. I'm guessing but I've a feeling he is someone that hasn't been drafted every year. An interesting character that would be so easy to write. Glad he landed with BH given the ensemble cast of Million Dollar Corporationers.

Tatanka hasnt been drafted in 5 years

Mad to think Baron Corbin went undrafted last year, as did Dvon Dudley and Mickie James

ShagNastii

There is one huge name that has yet to be picked and my gut tells me he/she/they might go undrafted.

I thought he would have went with Luger especially with the stips in place

He might actually fit better than Eddie Gilbert in the story I had planned for him to be honest although I am not sure if one of them will be left without a place on my PPV card as things stand at the moment (will have to rejig things as couldn't plan for what I didn't know i'd have). Perhaps i'd be open to trading Gilbert but I dunno if anyone would be looking for Mr Hot Stuff even though I think he would be good to write for the TV shows even if he may potentially be getting replaced on the PPV card by Tatanka.

I think virtually all of the guys have only been picked around once in the last 5 years from what Joe has said but I do like how these picks give more of a feel to rosters and add extra backstory that can be explored. Colt just gone could have perhaps gone with CM Punks roster and who knows maybe Finlay jnr could have been joined up with his Dad should myself and Lee not have just done that trade anyway.

I can understand that too! While I only initially planned for 6 matches tops for my main PPV, I've now had to stretch that to 8 to encompass all the plans I have in place. Remembering back to last year's card when it was exceptionally long at 6 matches, I think I may have to encompass a shorter match writing form this time around. Otherwise it could be several dissertations long!

campo

Ah Beakerjoe you are the man, Bo Dallas was one of those names that were on my list for next round so delighted to get him
Not yet decided where he will fit but he will fit.

I hope to have 2nd show up sometime today also, I always prefer writing shows to PPV as you can do more promos etc on a show then a PPV, match writing is not my strong point and over the years I think this is where I have fell short when it comes to voting time

Maybe during PWDraft Slammies we could have an award for best pre-ppv shows or something
