even though Pillman would fit the WECWF better that would be a great value trade imo

4th (trying to read Voltwad's mind)

glad that happened before it was too late

Seeing as we're on pick 19 now and BH is no-where to be seen, I'll make the draw for the next round there:)

thanks bro.

11th - cant complain really though I have someone in mind I wouldnt expect to last till then but tbh think he would fit some of the rosters that pick after me moreso so im hopefull. Good work on getting so many picks yesterday lads hope we can keep the momentum up during the week.

Some really impressive rosters atm! its said every year but again this will be as hard as ever to pick a winner cos of the really high standard this year, very few picks slipping through the cracks even though some are going a bit later cos they are perhaps harder to book or less of a perfect roster fit this time.

Going to take a risk here. With Vader gone, the ideas I've had accross the board have been reset, so have to completly rebuild. Making a choice now in the hopes in pays off as the rounds go on...cause if it doesn't, I'm in trouble :P

didnt expect big daddy cool in this round but I do think he's a good pick as personally id see him as a good person to write for and someone you could work into an interesting feud with many people... wether the match would be so good with Nash in it i dunno but atleast you get him in his prime if you wish

A Primal Nut · 09-01-2012 11:54am

Some interesting possibilities in your roster TSC!

Lord TSC · 09-01-2012 11:58am

To be honest, if you'd told me my roster was going to consist of Flair, Umaga, Lesnar and Nash a few weeks back, I'd have laughed. It's not a roster I would have initially chosen but it's a case of based on who was available at each round, I've picked who I think I can write for.

I looked back at when Nash has gone in previous years, and it's a mixed bag; he's gone early twice and he's gone late twice. I was going to leave Vader till next round, thinking he'd be safe, but obviously he wasn't. So I'm not taking the risk on Nash not being available, and having to change all my stories again.

That said, I know the story I want to run now, but I need some more people. So now it's fingers crossed they don't go too quickly either :P Any word on if round 5 will be a stip round? Wondering if I'll get to choose the next person on my list next round of if the tension will build up for a few more weeks :P

Garseys · 09-01-2012 12:07pm

ah damn, Big Van Vader is gone

How many of us were hoping he'd still be available?

thebostoncrab · 09-01-2012 12:12pm

I'm not holding my breath, but I was sure TSC would pick who I have in mind for Austin (TBH Alberto is his back up at the moment), which gives me a little bit of hope, but I just know someone will draft him and a tag partner of his

Yeah he's one of these guys a lot of people don't really like as he's not the best in the ring but he's had a great career and there are lots of room storylines with the Kliq, the NWO, etc. So well deserving of a 4th round pick. There is another guy with a similiar career I would have expected to go before him though.

flahavaj · 09-01-2012 2:02pm

You roster looks incredibly solid no walter. DiBiase/Hansen is a great value pick. Picked them the last two years and found DiBiase a really easy classic heel to book.

Jake vs Punk looks a natural feud as well.

the groutch · 09-01-2012 4:14pm

will post my pick up shortly, ended up choosing my original option for this round to complete a match (not sure if main event), rather than going for a very big name still out there

campo · 09-01-2012 4:32pm

Think that is th 1st time Aries has been picked by himself, nice choice though

Same, but I was going to take him as a tag team.

Think you're right, never seen him drafted by himself in the past. Still that's one pick closer to getting my main events which will actually give me a fighting chance this year

the groutch · 09-01-2012 4:43pm

I don't know enough about Roderick Strong to use Aries in a tag team (I'm assuming that's who he was tagged with before)

At the start of the draft I was hoping to take him with Daniel Bryan before I realised Dragon won the title

Interesting this year to see so manny guys that are usually picked as a team being drafted by themselves, creates alot of freshness to the rosters if anything!

The Volt · 09-01-2012 5:19pm

I had Aries and Strong last year, really enjoyed using them!

Pick made and sending a PM to Spongey now.

if i get mine down at pick 14, i'll be as shocked as I've ever been.

i'm actually willing some to take my pick, just so no expectation enters my system at all.

campo · 09-01-2012 5:46pm

I only have 2 people in mind and if they are taken then well basically im screwed

campo · 09-01-2012 5:51pm

Nice pick Goldberg vs Kane would be epic ,

I'm preparing for someone between D2D an yourself to take my pick, if he makes it past ye I'd be stunned!

i expect mine to go well before. i've resigned myself to it.

still plenty out there though, plus more stip rounds to come. happy with how my roster is shaping up either way, so can't complain really!

It could still happen, i'm not obliged to use a tag team i draft as a tag team

really, I thought I read someone else saying that you had to use them as a tag team.
doesnt matter anyway, made no real difference to may picks

I had to continue my tradition of big money feuds.

Garseys · 09-01-2012 7:33pm

damn you Spongey and Punked.

might be a half hour or so before I make my pick...

Garseys · 09-01-2012 8:34pm

Had to go with KoW before they were snapped up (after the 3 monsters I wanted for my main feud were taken).

D2D · 09-01-2012 8:46pm

Wow, Round 4 is flying by :eek:

thebostoncrab · 09-01-2012 8:47pm

Fusion Pro Wresting has come to terms with the release of The Kings of Wrestling. Their valet Miss Elizabeth is still in contract negotiations. Fans last saw the two feuding over Elizabeth's managerial services which ended up bringing the two closer as a team. We believe that they will own the tag division in their new home.

Great fun booking them last year, so many ways to work with them!

Horsebox9000 · 09-01-2012 8:50pm

Got Damn it will someone let me take their spot ;-)

Furious-Red · 09-01-2012 10:20pm

A Primal Nut · 09-01-2012 10:28pm

Top tag-team there in the Dudleys. I have to mark another one off the list of possibilities for this round.

D2D · 09-01-2012 10:31pm

Pick made

thebostoncrab · 09-01-2012 10:33pm

OK now I can't help but get excited! 4 picks to go and my number one feud for Austin hasn't been picked yet, either have back ups two and three

Ok I'm excited as well now for your pick

Yes would have taken both also but not used them as a tag team, Ray has been great in his singles push in TNA

the groutch · 09-01-2012 11:04pm

all the good tag teams are dropping like flies

I'm looking down my list of guys left and there's two guys that stand out that would be great with Austin, one in particular who'd be great fun to write for, while the other would make a really great feud.

Sorry guys . I was torn between them and a different pick (which i dont see lasting to long) but then i have realised since the last draft Dudleys have done well as single wrestlers especially Bully Ray . Ill decide later on how ill use them
