50posts sure he will have that by the time we get to rd 2.

Great to have you back Walt not only a great poster and drafter but the boards Monday night wars wouldn't be the same without the WECWF

Bounty Hunter · 02-01-2015 2:58pm

Hope Liz makes it too would seem odd if there was no.... Tbc

As much as I love the stips, I’d be conservative about going to town with them. Remember the year before last we had the a late “pick somebody already drafted” round which for many was a major buzzkill in terms of the draft.

The littlest of changes adds a bit of craic to proceedings. It’s all about adding a bit of spice without restricting a player who has landed a good number.

The first round ROH Alumni one last year from fantastic. Sieved out a few guys many might have wanted but still left so many legends to choose from.

Couldnt put it better, last year was great, little changes would be welcome but nothing to radical.

Really looking forward to the draft, nothing better than the loopholes and tag teams people exploit.

brianregan09 · 02-01-2015 6:03pm

I ended up with 2 main events out of the tag teams last year draft is great craic

mrkiscool2 · 02-01-2015 6:15pm

So looking forward to this. I actually have time this year, as well as a fair idea of who I want! There are a few picks I want back this year from last year, hopefully I can get them. I have a main event in mind too that can be done with 5 or 6 different pairings of about 9 wrestlers so I am confident of getting at least 2 of them!

I'm beyond excited for this years draft lads, especially since its so far all the same guys as last year, and as last year was such a spectacular draft, easily the best that I've personally been apart of throughout the years. So I'm genuinely expecting a lot of good stuff this year.. As for those dastardly young pups in MNG and BWA....

Welcome back Walt and glad I'm made it in just in time tbc.........................

lebowskilite · 03-01-2015 3:20am

In terms of Stips I have to say I rly liked the Non-American stip. I think rounds 3 & 4 should be consecutive balancing rounds to level out what's happened in rounds 1 & 2, and after that stick to the random order as average round order becomes less and less important after that.

Lithium93_ · 03-01-2015 3:26am

Silly question, is this going along the lines of fantasy booking?

Yeah absolutely, once you drafted your 20 picks, you then draw your Fantasy Card, however you wish.. Maybe have a look back through the last few years show's.. And welcome to the most addictive 3 months of you're life..

Lithium93_ · 03-01-2015 3:41am

Well i've always wanted to try my hand at fantasy booking. So might as well start here.

Bounty Hunter · 03-01-2015 8:58am

All 20 signed up including Like any good rumble some surprise returns now I'm looking forward to the draw

Lord TSC · 03-01-2015 11:30am

Working on starting it up now. Good luck everyone.

Gone for something super-simple as the first round stip :P And as a heads up, Lithium93_ has got the #1 Pick this year, so get the thinking caps on.

Lord TSC · 03-01-2015 11:50am

*Is worried people won't like the stipulation...*

<_<;;

thebostoncrab · 03-01-2015 12:31pm

Perfect, with that stip and the pick order, I'm 100% confident I'll get the two people I want and the two that will instantly set the theme and tone for my roster this year

ShagNastii · 03-01-2015 12:58pm

*goes to corner and sulks*

Not a chance of getting my number one. Back to the drawing board re: main card feud.

Spongey1975 · 03-01-2015 1:04pm

No 8. Its hit and miss whether i get the guy i really want will get someone good if my first choice goes before my pick

Uncle Walt · 03-01-2015 1:12pm

This is the first year ive nothing really planned yet picks wise, hopefully it'll pan out alright! :pac:

Lord TSC · 03-01-2015 1:19pm

I hate being so quick honestly. Can't decide which of two or three people I want

Bounty Hunter · 03-01-2015 1:35pm

I also have nothing planned out but after seeing my no.4 draw I'm shooting for the stars while also expecting to be dissapointed by only getting an absolutely huge name instead of whom I want.

Decent chance of getting my top pick
Low chance of getting who I'd like to pair him with though.

Remember to pm the next person folks and pm someone else your pick if you don't think you'll be around

mrkiscool2 · 03-01-2015 2:24pm

I'm a little bit sad the stip round is a no stip round this year. It's so much more fun with an actual stipulation.

But, on the flip side it's going to make the draft so much more different this year which is very interesting. Also extremely confident now of getting the feud I want for my main event

A Brad Maddox Guy · 03-01-2015 3:13pm

Wasn't expecting that stip. I've got no plans and no idea who I want aside from a couple smaller names so I'm happy enough to be at the end in this round. Should be able to draft my first pick with a planned opponent still available in round 2.

Alfred Borden · 03-01-2015 4:25pm

Got my list drawn up. Will be close if i get my main pick Id say but if i do i should get the rest.

connemara man · 03-01-2015 4:37pm

This suits my picking style (my plan is no plan)

it was the birthday last night and I went a bit mental so if I get called upon and someones online can I give you my pick I have 2 in mind

beakerjoe · 03-01-2015 4:40pm

I've no idea who I want. Getting one of my top 5 picks tho

Uncle Walt · 03-01-2015 4:58pm

Itching for this to get rollin lads..

Mr.Nice Guy · 03-01-2015 5:57pm

I think it's a nice change to start with a regular round. Honestly I think everyone will get a great pick for the first two rounds as the talent pool seems more immense than normal this time around.

I always feel rounds 3-7 are the most nail-biting as big names start to get thin and you feel the loss of a big name much more as a result.

brianregan09 · 03-01-2015 6:07pm

I think this stipulation is great , who knows who's going to be left by the time it reaches me though down in 16 lol, But regardless I sort of have a plan , but if it doesn't pan out I won't worry come on Lithium lets get the show on the road lol Itching aint the word
