    Has Tully competed in NJPW? Looked at them for my pick but couldn't find something for him in New Japan, only had a quick look mind?

    Sorry I should’ve said it in my post but he wrestled Tatsumi Fujinami in New Japan in 1995 and Arn wrestled in all the WCW/New Japan co events in 1991

    Epic picks.

    Yeah the world title rule knocked the dudleys on the head.

    On the flip side uncle walt does it again.

    I thought it was in the unwritten rules that only you were able to draft him

    Too much fantasy dirty smut would be written, no in ring wrestling :p I would not do him justice

    Been watching the picks thread for a couple of days and I can't believe some of the names that are still up for grabs.

    There's certain rosters I see and think I have the perfect guy for a feud with that pick and then said drafter goes a totally different way. Its amazing how many permutations there are in directions you could go.

    I'll follow on closely anyway. Also thanks guys for making it an easier read this year. One of the big reasons for not much outside participation is its such a big undertaking to read it all. Its all good content and deserves to be read. So to sum up the new version (of 3 pieces per drafter I believe?) should be a much easier read.

    Great work!

    Pick made and PM sent to Joe. I am delighted with that pick. After 5 rounds I can honestly say I am delighted with my roster so far.

    Not at all Liz loves Christian, that is all. So we have fun with that.

    I think Liz might secretly prefer Austin Aries, don't tell anyone though.

    Right, been debating who to pick all morning, will have my pick up shortly as I dont want to delay the game, but I really just cant decided

    Think you made a good decision, I knew Gargano & Ciampo would go in this NXT portion of this round it was just a question of how early. Now only 3 more left who could mess things up for me :)

    Speaking of which now that WW game is over, the end of term (for the older kids I teach) has arrived and a Family wedding are all out of the way I can actually start paying enough attention to this to plan who to pick next. Dusty, Kobashi & misawa were not all long term plans really, just kinda happened when it got to me.

    Ì had 3 other teams plus a singles star in mind. Went with these guys..... hoping I can get some opponents fot them next.

    Not set on them, so I am open to a trade. Could have easily went for the 3 other teams. The fact that they arent on the main roster swung it to be honest

    And the Top guys go. I had them taken , post written and all but changed at the last second. Great pick

    Yep Revival and DIY were always going to be gone before my NXT pick this round, thankfully neither were (hopefully) my pick.


    Anyone already thinking about trading people. I think Dusty could be great to write for but as said before atm I have not made full plans for him, Kobashi & Misawa but I don't expect to trade them.

    Favourable Draws in R1-4 seem so long ago now! The Stips in R5 combined with a high draw in R6 has my plans scraped and back to the drawing board!! No way my planned selections last!!

    Thankfully I have my major plans in place so it's only filling out my card now. Andre was the preferred option but I think I can make things work with Inoki :D

    Honestly completely forgot that Kane wrestled in NXT (not a one off too) so nice drafting Alfred. Considered changing tact when I was got #2 for the next round and taking a bigger name singles star but Jimmy and Jey have been on fire since they stopped being Vanilla Babyfaces and being Roman Reign's family doesn't hurt too. Not to mention that even just in our 5 poster NXT part of this round 4 tag teams went so good to get the current tag champs on board.

    PM sent to MNG

    That was my main thinking behind picking Future Shock. Had a few singles options that I wanted more, Marty Scurll for example, but I really feared people going nuts on tag teams this round considering how good NXT's & new Japan's are.

    FWIW it was me questioning the dark match rule with Johnny Gargano. He wrestled a dark match for ROH in 08, it wasn't on TV or PPV so literally just an event in front of 400 people. I don't understand what the context of a dark match could be for a show like this so hoped for some clarification. Since there was nothing decisive said about it I decided to avoid potential hassle and pass on him and Ciampa but still wondering what this dark match actually was?

    Blargh, was hoping DIY would last till the TNA round cause the dark match discussion would have cropped up there too :(

    BH, The Revival and Uso's were 2 of the other tag teams I had considered. I so nearly ruined your plans

    I maybe be open to trades. No major plans set in stone.

    Love the Uso pick. They are my other favourite act of 2017 and did not consider them at all this round as they were not in ROH obviously.
