Suppose.

*Preys that Mach doesn't take my pick and ruin the gimmick of my fed* :P

thebostoncrab · 02-01-2012 2:33pm

Let's nip this in the bid now before it gets out of hand and causes an early argument.

If I wanted to pick someone who debuted, according to wiki, in the 80s, but only made their debut in the eliagble companies (WWE, TNA, ROH etc) in the 00s, can I pick them this round or will we be going by their actual debute in wrestling? (Personally I vote for their wiki debut)

well we are sticking by the previous years rules and in previous years we went with the Wiki overall debut so I would assume that is still in effect. If this idea had been brought up in this thread before today a rule change might be more likely

Cactus Colm · 02-01-2012 2:46pm

CM Punk is a great pick ... hadn't even thought of him. Soon as I saw the stipulation Kurt was the first to mind.

waltersobchak · 02-01-2012 2:48pm

Angles a tremendous pick as well, plenty of choices for him in the next round

Out of curiousity whats the offical ruling on the ...pick??

CMpunked · 02-01-2012 2:50pm

C'mon Machismo!
I got stuff to do today! :pac:

glenjamin · 02-01-2012 2:51pm

The rule should be changed from 24 hours to an hour. Or ten minutes

they were one of the picks that I was talking about when I didnt mention names in the OP of the other thread but said that if eligable under the rules last year be it through a loophole or not they are this time and that if someone spots a pick like that it should be applauded for being a smar pick within the rules instead of ruled out. tbh there arent too many picks of this ilk.

Bounty Hunter · 02-01-2012 3:34pm

Mr TNA takes Mr WWE John Cena! obviously a great guy and big name to build a promotion around especially with the possibility of other big names in later rounds also.

Machismo Fan · 02-01-2012 3:39pm

Apologies for taking an hour to pick but between a rage inducing slow internet connection and being caught in two minds it took a while. Cena was the natural choice though with the stips and Angle gone.

Lord TSC · 02-01-2012 3:50pm

Blargh.

Ok, I'm going to need some time. Sorry if it delays people. Punk and Cena were two guys I could build my fed around and I have to decide if I take the most obvious option or someone else...

CMpunked · 02-01-2012 4:09pm

I was toying with the idea of drafting Cena and trying to create another mega money build but I would need an astronomically good pick for the next round for me to get the most out of him.

Lord TSC · 02-01-2012 4:26pm

Ha! A friend on another board just gave me a great idea. I was going to make a very obvious choice but was only going to make it for the sake of the big name draw. But this guy...I'm annoyed I was missing it cause it's a big name AND has some great storyline potential. I just want to check back and see where he's gone in previous years and I'll be posting up my pick

CMpunked · 02-01-2012 4:27pm

Do not steal my pick TSC, dont you dare! :P
I know where you live!!

Lord TSC · 02-01-2012 4:32pm

Pick up. Here comes the pain, baby!

thats 4/5 of the guys i expected top five gone, wonder will I get my automatic top choice now.

*stares at CMpunked*

CMpunked · 02-01-2012 4:35pm

MOTHERFCUKER!! :mad:

Lord TSC · 02-01-2012 4:37pm

The fun thing is Brock didn't even cross my mind at first. I was all set to pick someone else (who I wouldn't be surprised to see go next :P) until I realised Lesnar debuted in 2000.

There was one guy I was also considering but Wiki dates his debut as 1997, which surprised me slightly.

Lord TSC · 02-01-2012 5:11pm

Knew Orton would go next :P I was going to pick him if I hadn't chosen Brock.

D2D · 02-01-2012 5:11pm

Jesus, a quarter way through the first round already. All the picks I was hoping would sneak down are going already, might have to go to plan b:(

There goes my plans out the window

Bounty Hunter · 02-01-2012 5:25pm

the current WHC joins the BWA!

pmd primal nut.

Orton is a solid choice too especially given the stip in the rd

D2D · 02-01-2012 5:28pm

God damn it!:mad::mad:

Lord TSC · 02-01-2012 5:30pm

I do love these threads, and the amount of utter frustration they bring :P

Garseys · 02-01-2012 5:32pm

Damn Bryan is gone, I thought someone might have gone outside the box and he would have remained.

Still got my back ups fooked if they pick the three of them next...

flahavaj · 02-01-2012 5:38pm

Three or four more fairly predictable picks left then it gets interesting....

glenjamin · 02-01-2012 5:54pm

I am definitely going to end up with a midcarder in this round if my picks keep going.

A Primal Nut · 02-01-2012 6:05pm

Looks like I'm next! Hopefully will decide quick!

Nice choice Primal Nut, great minds think alike:pac:

glenjamin · 02-01-2012 6:46pm

Have a feeling this part of the draft is where it slows right down.

thebostoncrab · 02-01-2012 6:48pm

Slick is usually active so I'd say he will be online soon, then it's a fast run with Garseys and myself both being online!

Once Slick doesn't have who I have, I'm ready to go!

Lord TSC · 02-01-2012 6:49pm

Is Sheamus' pic not showing up for anyone else? The only reason I knew it was him was from the Slammy award for looking like a muppet :P

Same for me, my first two choices are gone but if neither Slick or you take my third plan then I'll have mine posted in an instant

not showing up for me but I assumed China had blocked the image because Mao thought Sheamus's pale skin & fiery red hair would be considerd offensive.

flahavaj · 02-01-2012 7:08pm

Could we actualy make sure people actually type their pick's name as well as a picture? Its not always possible to view pictures on phones etc which many of us might have to use at one stage or another.

A Primal Nut · 02-01-2012 7:12pm

Nice choice Primal Nut, great minds think alike:pac:

To be honest, I never thought for a second Sheamus would be in my federation and didn't plan for him. The reason is that he went first overall last year so I assumed he would be a first round draft pick. As much as I like the guy I didn't really think he was big enough to be my first round draft pick! As in there are a lot of old school guys I would choose ahead of him.

However with the stipulation and the guys already gone (particularly Kurt Angle) Sheamus was my favoured option left. Happy I have him now, he'll be fun doing promos for and there are a lot of guys I'd like to see him have a rivalry with - and the fact he's so new means there are a lot of new guys for him to feud with who he never fought in real life.

Any idea why the picture isn't showing up?

SlickRic hasn't posted on Boards.ie for for four days, hopefully he will be here soon.

the groutch · 02-01-2012 9:06pm

c'mon Slick, I'm itching to suprise everyone with my pick

(btw, are there specific rounds for picking tag teams, or can you choose them whenever you wan onnce they follow the stips?)

The Volt · 02-01-2012 9:08pm

I doubt my choice has any chance of being left once we get down to me but stranger things have happened in these drafts!

thebostoncrab · 02-01-2012 9:10pm

Did anyone PM him?

he doesnt happen to be in your sig does he?

I'd be tempted to choose him just for the promo end of things.

Nice stip. I'll have to get my thinking cap on for this one.

D2D · 03-01-2012 12:58am

Treat AJ well:(

Machismo Fan · 03-01-2012 1:03am

I was stuck between Cena and AJ myself, ended up going with my head instead of my heart.
