i fear this draw. I have plans but will change them all if i got a no.1 for instance like i did last year and changed my plans to get argueably the biggest name in sports period. though it would be nice to have back to back picks being no.20 in this round and all

afair they said that Rd13 or 14 would be and we are currently in 13 so Im guessing the celeb round is next which is why i could change my plans drastically (even though i dont really want to) if i got a really high number.

That said im still to have my pick in this round

iirc they have to have had an active part in a show so not just anyone who was in the crowd.

edit: i forgot about trades! that could make this interesting, people trading massive names they dont need in the hope to trade them for people they could have never drafted at this late stage.

yep think thats the ruling. People who just inducted people i think got drafted last year hell godzilla got drafted last year (dont think anyone plans on taking him cept maybe Bubs or Glenjamin who could drop Chavo and get Horny to feud with Godzilla or made team up with :pac:).

dont think anything was made final on that but thats an idea although after working so hard to get the people boardsies have drafted and planned a card around many of them i dont foresee to many trades except maybe due to the Celeb round and people getting a high number and drafting people they dont actually need.

How can you draft Godzilla? Can I draft The Giant Claw?

Can someone explain the trade as well (is this done after the 15 rounds?)

absolutely i presume some people would have at least one pick that they feel in hindsight was wrong i know i certainly do! something like WWE does on WWE.com were the post draft guys are announced would be awesome, if we have a seperate thread, and its all done by PM so its a surprise when people announce their draftee's on the Trade Page:cool::pac:

Thanks pal. Sorry about taking Harlem Heat, them against Demolition would have looked quite good as a feud I must admit.

Don't believe he has been picked.

Next up is D2D. Just about ready for the penultimate draw I assume?

Claudio Castagnoli's awesome. And very european.

I think he'd go down a treat in WWE. He's a big dude with a solid gimmick
