I'll pm Campo to sort that stuff out but just so people know I am considering this round the whoever is online when I pick round so there won't be any favoritism from me and if others think that way things will move pretty fast.

Having said that though we are going at an incredible pace this year, i'd wager faster than any other year. Usually the deadline for writing is around Wrestlemania weekend and even though we are going to be finished drafting before the usual time this year I don't think I will be anywhere near having written as much by that time so hopefully the submission deadline isn't pulled forward too much.

also great work Necro, as usual I've copied and pasted that new list into the OP of the other thread so you don't have to keep making a hard copy elsewhere just check there each time and update whats missing

I actually like that idea a lot. Will keep the game moving at a fast pace.
Thanks for that BH, I usually use that alright to save writing every single name each time! It surely must be a record to be almost in round 14 and have no missed pick this year. Last year I remember there were a few.

Think my pick has been skipped

Paulie, its all my fault. I went to bed last night thinking I was after Red for some reason, I posted my pick in error as it seems and you are next.

If it is Ms Miz and Cedric your after, by all means draft them and Ill rejig my pick. But yeah its my bad and please accept my apologies.

Happy Enough with Maryse, Wasnt going to draft her but I wont trade her either and will work her into my story.

No worries, wasn't after them anyway

Bounty Hunter

I know he was a main eventer beforehand but for some reason Miz with Maryse seems more like a main eventer while without her he seems like a mid carder (well IC/US level) to me. Could just be because I feel like he has been great since she returned by his side for her current run

I was going to reveal this image when round 15 began..... but I might as well add this now.....

In relation to round 16, while it is a bonus round added at the end, it will be very restrictive, so make no plans about exactly who you may want to draft in this round.

Vickie Guerrero is an amazing bonus pick to get, I had her as a GM a while back and she was great to write for

She has been undrafted since that time IIRC, no one picked her last year. Shes an niche taste

EXCUSE ME...EXCUSE ME....No one else has picked her since

Necro

I'm delighted to see Vickie go. I had no plans for her at all but given her connections with Edge and to a lesser degree Steph, I may have considered picking her up in the last round if she was still available. I have a feeling she may have been one of the connections to my roster had I picked a different number

She was not, funnily enough.

I would be open to trading Elgin

Just read Campos 2nd show and...

Cheers for putting over the BWA boys strong, I honestly didn't expect them to go out like that but it was good to read even if I wasn't mr BWA as it is intriguing just like when myself, MNG & Walt used to reference each others shows, no doubt CWA will get a reference no on BWA Raw. I'd agre with Liz that Bray really is your MVP so far but I am also loving Piper and I am very curious to see where you go with him as he was not in your title tournament brackets. I was honestly thinking about the irony of Piper interviewing a new nation leader and his half blackface past when you referenced it and I had a proper LOL moment.

ohh I'm up... a few mins and I'll have my pick up

and like the pm I just sent says you are now next... almost forgot I was supposed to pick!

Necro

Looks like I'm up next (Thanks BH!) Will have pick up shortly. Just to clarify is Devon Nicholson on your roster BH or traded to Campo? Just in the midst of a roster update so can add in the trade.

beakerjoe

Never heard of yer pick BH but I am interested in knowing so off to Wiki I go.

Necro up first and a reminder to not only but your pick up, but also who you have chosen to go next in your post, as well as a PM to alert the draftee that you've selected them

beakerjoe

It wasnt my plan, but this round could go fairly quick depending on how people choose who goes next.

So this round .. it's up to us who goes next? Nice!

Necro

Pick up and PM sent to Joe. Figured I'd be nice to the face that runs the (draft) place. Tarver is (almost) the final piece of my puzzle. One more and my shows can be unleashed!

he's on my roster.

The people going to Campos roster will be named at a later date. Only announced the half of the trade im getting now cos Campo said I could (wrote them out of his show) and so that I could put up my preview show. That should be up later / soon.

His story (Hannibal) is an interesting one Joe but don't worry if you don't know it as I no doubt will touch on his history with one of my other roster members when I write my shows.

It's interesting when your guys have so many different gimmicks.

I drafted Regal as the dastardly heel but the way it has played out I may go with goodwill ambassador/ commissioner William Regal. Have a few ideas about some set-ups but I've found over the years that writing good comedy is impossible.

Agreed on my roster for example Mike Rotunda could be in 3 different factions I have.

Speaking of which ... my preview show is up as my roster is essentially complete now
