    and another plan disappears , thought I might nab Enzo & Cass before the next round when Cass would have been off the board, nicely done Necro

    I hadn't even seen the stip when I picked tbh. Thought they'd have gone in the NXT round if I'm honest but glad to get them in.

    I thought up some ideas for my shows, which is a nice change for me, the only problem is I don't have the people I need for my ideas!

    Ive great ideas for my lower end of the card, no chance of obtaining half of these guys though. Its always the way.

    Need three more picks to tighten up and flesh out my plans. Doubtful I'll get them all but I have a good few back ups so should be able to work with what I get.

    Thats it though, my first choices are most likely no goers but ya never know. I have back ups in my head for each position now so its all about who goes where.

    I've been working off a central idea since the start. It has mutated/evolved a good bit based on who I've managed to draft, but it's broadly similar to what I originally envisaged. Have a couple more picks in mind to flesh things out, but I'm pretty happy at present.

    Some picks are blessings in disguise. You may miss out on someone, but the brain juices can really flow when you have to adapt and be flexible with your plans.

    I'm genuinely excited to see what everyone else's plans for the write ups are. Each roster looks great.

    Pick made and Pm sent.. I honestly don’t mean for my roster to be so retro but all the modern wrestler pics i wanted so far have been snapped up! So this could definitely go against me!

    I really hoped people forgor about him, Damn you walt..... one more name off my list

    I was going to pick Dynamite this round, put him against Neville.

    But held off as I knew someone like Walt would be better at writing for him than me. Thought I miht struggle as I am not that clued in on him.

    Dynamite Kid is a great pick, had him in mind too for this round, surprised he lasted this long, expected him to go with Davey Boy early on

    Another of the list with Dynamite but I didn't think he would last past you or MNG. Really scrambling for a pick now let alone two picks close enough together when I probably should have something planned

    Don't know how Dynamite lasted this far. I would have taken him if he were available.

    I'll have my pick up shortly.

    Update: Pick made and PM sent. Delighted to get these fellas.

    Have a pick ready, but doubting something about it, so just going to PM Joe to make sure it would be allowed.

    If Joe isn't about and you need, my name is technically in his picks thread OP in case people want to query picks.

    Pick made and PM sent.

    Was doubting if they had tagged long enough, and didnt wanna fall into the same LoN issue with Rusev and Barrett from earlier in the comp!

    Happy with that duo - still no idea where I'm heading with things, but have a few ideas!

    They tagged from Feb to May at least so thats easily your 3 months in there.

    tbh at the start I didn't care as people were taken as I knew 75% of my planned picks would go but there was a stretch there were they all went and now im like this with each next one after i've just had to change me plans.

    I didn't take your man then so hopefully once I get who I want (though thats changed a few times recently) I won't again here.

    Pick query guys.

    2 guys tagged together for a total of 8 matches over a peroid of Jan 10th to May 20th, with the bulk of the matches taking place in jan and feb then 1 match each in March April and May.

    Does this class as a tag team. The source is wrestlingdata however I can not find any record of the matches on cagematch.com or the internet fight database.

    Im inclined to allow it as the tagged for more than 3 months just. Thoughts?

    I think it falls within the rules. We had a similar pick last year were a tag team queried that had 4 matches in just over 3 months

    I would say yes unless it affects my pick :pac:

    Then... NO WAY :P

    After my recent pick, think I'd be happy to allow!

    Well your pick tagged quite a bit compared to this team, its the amount of matches thats making me hold off. But the pick gets the thumbs up from me IMO

    I think let it go since the rules allow it.

    I think tag teams need to be smartened up next year. Pushed out to 6 months or 3 months with a tag team title reign in a significant promotion. I think it would be good to see more tag teams picked to be used as tag teams. I say this having picked a 'weak' tag team myself already but would have picked Neville on his own.

    Could be a great find. It'd nearly say yes. If somebody tagged for 5 or 6 episodes of RAW (for example) I'd probably class them as a tag team.

    Would be puzzled why it isn't on cagematch or internet fight database. Their stuff is generally bulletproof.

    Have you checked if they've been picked as a couple before?

    Never picked as a team before.

    Its the fact its not on cagematch that got my attention, never heard of wrestling data myself until now.
