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.

***Looks at list*** Dave Jnr wasnt on the list for Lee, but he does have some nice ones that could go with his roster, so good luck Lee

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.

You selected him from 5 names, so I cant get all the credit, he could have easily been a dud had you selected number 3 or unrelated had you selected 2

Im presuming Midnight Express were not on list as I was going to take a chance and draft a different team in the vague hope they could be a bonus pick

A few teams are on the the list, but no Midnights sadly. Most of the teams on the lists are dud picks or undrafted in many previous years.

Harry and Bo going as bonus picks just hurt my list.

Really good bonus' so far.

Dont worry, you can rest assured your Bonus picks are just as good IMO.

Both Liz and Campo had arguably bigger stars on their bonus lists too.

With it being round 13, Id assume most already have their card of wrestlers assembled.

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.

Well some are recycled.

Out of the 80 from the first bonus round, 20 got drafted, so most the 60 lads left over are recycled into the pot for this round.

Cant wait to see who you have listed for my bonus picks as my roster is very Euro/Indie based Im guessing you had plenty of options

Ive actually had a list of guys, but changed one name on it as I thought of someone who better fits TBH. But yeah, connections are with 3 guys and all three im sure you'd be pleased with

However, you may someone else unrelated or even pick a dud, so good luck

JP Liz V1

Thanks Joe, I am happy with Davey Smith Jnr

I thought I would post my updated roster to help Necrominus

LWE roster:-

Stone Cold Steve Austin, Cesaro & Tyson Kidd, Austin Aries, Nigel McGuinness, Chyna, Beth Phoenix, Carlito & Primo aka The Colóns, Nidia, Ryback and Curtis Axel aka RybAxel, Snoop Dogg, Awesome Kong aka Kharma & Hamada, Michael Elgin, Jesse The Body Ventura, Colt Cabana, Davey Boy Smith Jnr, Steve Blackman (trade)

Considered taking Harry Smith a few rounds ago but decided to try someone new to me instead. Some great bonuses, delighted Bo joins his family.

I can see this being 19 glorious bonus picks and then the dud at the end

We can basically pick any wrestler at this stage?

I was actually beginning to think it was planned:P It's no problem, I have everyone lists physically written down at home so as to not draft someone already taken so it's easy enough to transfer. Keeps me busy too in between my picks and my show writing!

ShagNastii

Love seeing the trades. Some can totally change the dynamic of the rosters. Will be interesting to if there are any more before everyone kicks off.

Ive none more planned, that can change though, but Im happy with what Ive got. All my feuds in place I think, just one or two more lads to go.

Necro

I pretty much have everything set in stone. All offers will certainly be considered though!

Episode 2 of CWA Fallout is now out, Again I would appreciate all feedback so negative and positive

I am very much in the same boat.

LeeJM

Sorry guys and gal didnt realise I was next. Delighted to get Jimmy in. He is really gonna add to the feel that I want to get across this year.

Thanks Joe I love that bonus pick! The third member of KOTN and a properly good wrestler too. Hmmmm this may change some things.......

beakerjoe

Sorry to say but our first dud was drawn, Sorry it had to be you, but them are the breaks of the deadly game that is the bonus round 2.

The Goon was a decent wrestler until Vince got his mitts on him, but to the mainstream fans, The Goon is either barely remembered or totally forgotten

ShagNastii

Geez you weren't joking about the duds.

The Goon is wrestlecrap royalty.

LeeJM

The Goon is total wrestlecrap as Shag says but pre Goon the guy is actually pretty good and a mid level territory star. All Ill say is even the weakest looking guy can be manipulated into a useful roster member

Mr.Nice Guy

Delighted to get Dory Funk Jnr. I had been planning on using Terry Funk in a singles feud but getting his brother might make me rejig a few things.

---

Here's some feedback for campo's CWA Fallout shows, ep. 1 & 2:

I enjoyed the opening CWA show one and you've done a great job capturing the voice and character of both Piper and Bray. I particularly liked the song Piper sang to them. You booked Strowman like a monster which was good. Also liked the humour on the show like the Husky reference to Bray from Piper. The ending was strong also with that twist.

Show 2 - As a big Cornette fan, again you've done a great job capturing the distinctive voice of Jimbo. I got a kick out of his promo to Bray. Very good promo for Fale too, getting him over as a badass simply and effectively. Also enjoyed the Lashley promo with Piper and referencing the draft picks. That was nicely done. Bray's comment at the end sets up the next part of the story which I look forward to.

All in all you've set a high standard with your shows. They're polished and easy to read, and you're progressing your stories at a good pace. Look forward to the next instalments.
