    Just to clarify this stip... they had to have a match, right?

    Yeah, sorry if not clear, that's what I meant by competed.

    Ah no, its crystal clear to be honest. I just spotted a few gems and wanted to be sure where I stood.

    Round 4 up, stip up.

    Stipulation: Only superstars who have appeared on ECW OR WWECW are eligible in this round.

    Round 5 will be an average order round folks, so if you've had a bad run then round 5 is the one for you I guess. Myself and Ric seem attached at the hip!

    And yeah, I cheated a little to get Deadpool in :P

    Folks, apologies, slight amendment to the wording of the stip (was pointed out to me via PM, thank you kind mysterious soul).

    Updated above and on the Picks Thread.

    What was wrong with original wording?

    It might have been a little misleading for some. Apologies if so.

    So they didn't have to participate in a match, just make an appearance?

    That was a hard choice.

    A few picks I wanted, then some I had no intention of drafting despite the big names but were almost too good to turn down.

    I wanted Cody though, as a chaarcter hes flexible and hes doing fantasticly well outside of WWE.

    His Brothers a nice bonus though.

    Cody with Goldie is a great double pick, I wonder would WWE try to get Cody back given how well he is doing, he had huge potential but they never seem to let him rise

    I'm 95% sure Batista hasn't been picked yet

    You are correct. I was hoping he might slip through to me in round 4 :( He had one match under the WWECW umbrella which would have qualified him :pac:

    Three names i had when my pick arrived all gone in a row.

    Couldn't resist when I spotted he was free. Fits into the idea I've got for the HHH/Omega story so well.

    Batista was one who I really considered.

    A great underrated pick.

    I really wanted to pick him but thought he might not suit my roster in the end.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,313 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Seriously considered Batista but I had him last year and wanted to try and pick a new guy. Punk and Austin are two I've never had so they were top of my list this round.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,796 ✭✭✭Mr. Guappa


    I was torn between Batista and Savage for my pick. Like Necro I had spotted him as a sneaky one if he got to the ECW round.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87 ✭✭Ruat Caelum


    Batista is a great pick.

    Don't want to be a d*CK....but...are Curt Hennig and Scot Hall still eligible as a tag team with tag teams limited to the promotions their limited to? I think they only regularly tagged in the AWA? They are a great pick.

    It's interesting as I had to look that up. AWA forged an alliance with NWA aligned promotions around the period that they were teaming. (it was in response to the massive expansion by WWF) to become known as Pro Wrestling USA and from what I can see it qualifies them.

    Cheers! I'll have to look at that alliance now!(see if there are any other nice picks)


    Looking forward to watching the ECW wweecw picks.... Don't think I have any huge preferences in it....


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,450 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    I only have one person in mind for next round so I expect that will go wrong for me :pac:


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,880 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    Actually thought Owens might have got snapped up in the non American round so not surprised to see him taken now. The pick I passed up last time is still available but it’s a long wait from first to 2nd last especially with a limiting stip in play. Can’t plan this pick, definitely a wait and see what is available one.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,880 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter

    A big chunk of my options options are after being taken so I'll have to wait til I get home from work to see who I have left on my list. I can think of two remaining but I'm certain I'm forgetting some

    Theres a good bit left when it comes to main event tier talent. Plenty might last until round 5 too with the stip in place.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,313 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Blargh that's a great pick MNG. I probably would have taken Foley myself had he fallen to me. Must be one of the latest rounds he's been drafted in, very diverse character. Would be a lot of fun to write for in multiple scenarios I'd imagine.

    Was Drew on ECW?

    He featured in 2 Dark Matches for the brand, and I seeked clarity before picking.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,450 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    Fair play, would not have looked at that angle for someone. Appears like a great year to have him.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,313 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Pick up and PM sent to DM.

    Was torn between two for this pick, but I think RVD suits my plans slightly better.

    That is one hard hitting, ass-kicking roster Slick is assembling. I love it!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,450 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    Pick done, PM sent.

    I am picking so far with no plan at all yet find myself picking along the same ideas I always have.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,313 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Alfie I got your PM but can't reply as your inbox is full. Pick is perfectly fine though!

    Miz was someone I'd been looking at last round before going with Batista, so will nab him now :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,804 ✭✭✭A Brad Maddox Guy


    Very nearly went with Benoit over Joe, thought he might slip through to me. A Bryan vs Benoit story would probably write itself but I have a feeling it was done a few years ago


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,880 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    Finally Vince is picked. Had him as a rd3 pick myself this time (but couldn't pick him ahead of the Rock etc after my early draw that round) and have been hoping to book him for a few years but I guess not this time.

    Ugh I'm big time regretting letting him pass me by too tbh. Have tentative plans without him but would have been a nice addition. Ah well, it'll be fine!

    Round 5 Order up as I'm working lates tonight so just in case it's required.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,796 ✭✭✭Mr. Guappa


    Noooooooo!!! Was really hoping Jake would get through to me, had a cool story set up for him. Aaaaah!

    Quality pick at this stage, great value.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,804 ✭✭✭A Brad Maddox Guy


    I only have a very loose idea for my story arc so far this year & I haven't figured out who fits what yet. So once trades open he may be available. It's usually only about Round 8 or so that I start getting a feel for my PPV.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,757 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Risked Dusty last round when going for his boys.... delighted to get him.

    Speaking of Trades...

    Once Round 4 concludes, Trades are permitted.
