Joe was my first choice since Punk was picked. So near, yet so far, back to the drawing board now.

I'm not set on Joe, could be tempted to trade later in the game if the right offer came my way

If someone can pm mr G that'd be great, on my mobile at work ATM. Had planned on pairing Mr McMahon and his chosen one Reigns up together but Dusty will at least give me plenty of options

Done.

If Dusty was not picked, I would have broken my recent drafting policy to take him. Great pick BH.

The way this years stips fell I will have to pull something out of the bag this round.

Rock is a big star. If I got an early pick in round 1 again I think I would pick less of a star, too easy to end up with a lack of balance on the roster. Celeb round might be big for me.

Pick made and PM sent. A high pick next round would be nice!

Bounty Hunter

Very nice given those guys would not normally go before some of their cohorts. Still a good pick though and one I'd say a few might have had in mind.

Cheers for sending the PM Necro, home now. Happy enough with Dusty even though it was not my original plan. It means my first 2 picks are actually new to the BWA which isn't the easiest thing to happen. Plus both should be decent to write for.

My next pick is going to be based on who I can match to an Alan Patridge gif or video.

Next round order and who is gone/can't be selected has me stumped. Will have something up soon.

I have no idea who I want yet, no solid plans yet. Just gonna see whos available when my pick comes round. Finding it hard to get any motivation for ideas. I d one idea but the stip plus round order killed that idea early. (Wanted Macho and Hunter).

14th hurts.

i had 1st pick last round, so can't hugely complain, but 33 spaces between picks at this stage of the drafting is rough!

Spare a thought for those below you.... it could be worse.

I've been middle of the pack for all my picks thus far. Not the worst place to be tbh looking at some other people's draws.

Bounty Hunter

You know that draw is for real as the one man you wouldn't have picked no.1 in such a round 3 is the 3 time draft winner MNG. 7th hmm I can probably work with that

Ah Jake, my 2nd choice of this round. Love the ref too

If theres one man to get the most out of Jericho and Broken Matt, its him. Add another top guy and the draft will look pretty.... pretty good for MNG

Had a small plan for R3, but after that draw, my plan might change and risk my planed draftee lasts to R4! The joys of the draft!!

FYI, Round 5 and 10 will be an avarage round draw. Which means the averages of the rounds before it will be tallied up and those whom had bad the worse luck thus far will get the first picks in those rounds.

Cheers for doing up the list DM, I've copied it over into the OP of the picks thread.

16th is not good but know there is average rounds coming up makes it better. That said I dont necessarily want massive names, more interested in some interesting pairings

Joe has done a good job of using the stips to spread out the main eventers so far. This being the first round that isn't reverse order may give some a lucky advantage but at least most people already have 2 big names they can work a main event with.

Then it might work out for you.

Round 5 will be a stip round also

I feel there's a good 25 plus names that could easily main event a ppv left for round 3 plenty of Irish, Canadian, britieh, Mexican and Japanese talent available

Taker v Steamboat......a Mania mega match in my eyes. 2 of the best.

Had my eye on Steamer for this round until Joe got through

Out of the 3 aforementioned names I had, 2 were left! So had a toss up (literally flicked a coin) before picking Finn. Dont expect my other option to hang around too long.

Now the long wait for R4 starts!

I had 3 names on my list. All 3 gone in 3 picks.

Those last three picks fit their respective rosters like a glove. So much history to build on with all the characters.

I've a pretty sizable list for this round (I mean I pretty much need to :P ) but I've genuinely no idea who may or may not be picked by then. So far both rounds have had multiple people I expected to go still be available after the full 20. While it's still waaaay too early to comment on rosters I have to say HBK & Pillman looks a very tasty prospect.

I hope you told him yes to whatever he asked if he had to ask he probably does not want my guy!
