With the time difference I'd say BH will be online soon

if this had been a work day yeah I woulda been but tis a pity that unless folk are on post 3am there we may have to wait till morning for the next run of picks. time to play the game for me now though!

BWA 2012: Danielson, Kowalski, Monsoon, HHH

gotta ask tbc, are you going to aknowledge JYD's draft history... he didnt exactly have the best of times last year but his story would have been fairly high profile.

Didnt expect Foley just as I didnt expect lethal at the time from the groutch so im v curious to see what hes up to. HBK/Misawa obviously has big potential to it.

remember as Flah was saying you dont have to have your ME already lined up at this point (after this round), afterall a certain few elite names only become available in the pre 70s debut round all of whom are Main event worthy.

There is news circulating that Monday Night Grappling head honcho Mr Nice Guy was left irate yesterday when HHH who had only recently negotiated his release from MNG turned up as the 3rd draft pick for their rivals the BWA. There had been talk before that the promotion thought they had gotton one over on BWA chairman Bounty Hunter after taking long time BWA competitor Mitsuharu Misawa in a previous round but now this draft has the potential to re-ignite the Boards.ie monday night wars.

it's yet to be seen if WECWF might get drawn back into it again this year

Me right now.

I don't know Misawa either but I gather from a quick overview of Wikipedia that he was a HUGE star in Japan.

Probably my two favourite wrestlers ever are still left, but there is another guy who I love but not so much but who I have more storyline ideas for, so I'll probably pick him. Still one more pick left before I choose though.

Looks like this round could be a quickie at least compared to the last one.

Mr.Nice Guy · 07-01-2012 5:29am

Exciting pick there, BH. Some interesting storyline potential this year deffo.

glenjamin · 07-01-2012 7:10am

Already I'm looking forward to Machismo Fan, BH, and Flah's rosters taking shape. Some very interesting picks so far.

Furious-Red · 07-01-2012 3:27pm

Made my pick there . Its weird seeing people like Austin , HHH , HBK going in round 3 but its still exciting

A Primal Nut · 07-01-2012 3:54pm

Ladies and Gentlemen, business is about to pick up.

Bounty Hunter · 07-01-2012 4:01pm

cheers but it changes with every draft, FCW just became electrifying and i'd love to see Sheamus kill Hulkamania.

thebostoncrab · 07-01-2012 4:01pm

Hogan Sheamus, Rock Roode. Both very exciting main events are both for very different reasons.

Everyone is on the ball so far, I can see this being the toughest year yet!

A Primal Nut · 07-01-2012 4:05pm

Thanks TBC - I'm going for pure entertainment with my picks. Also just realised I've an Irish connection with all my picks. There's Sheamus obviously, Crash Holly used to play a leprachaun character and Vince McMahon chose the name Hogan because he wanted an Irish name (according to Wikipedia anyhow) so I guess Hogan is supposed to be Irish American. So lots of potential for storylines there.

I've had a few ideas for promos with Sheamus-Hogan going over my head the last couple of days, so gonna start writing them up now.

thebostoncrab · 07-01-2012 4:28pm

One match I'm surprised there isn't more talk about is Samoa Joe vs Bruiser Brody- both men would KILL each other. It would be brutal and stuff as hell. I'd love it!

D2D · 07-01-2012 5:03pm

Oh for f**k sake:mad::mad::(

Bounty Hunter · 07-01-2012 5:32pm

Angle vs Bret, USA vs Canada, damn Cactus has had a strong start

Garseys · 07-01-2012 5:40pm

theres a lot of money feuds already, can't wait to see what you do with them

Guessing I'll be looking to ROH or elsewhere for my pick.

JP Liz V1 · 07-01-2012 6:30pm

Wow some exciting feuds being set up this round

waltersobchak · 07-01-2012 6:34pm

EPIC rosters lads. Cactus in particular is looking pretty tasty!

Lord TSC · 07-01-2012 8:34pm

There's one guy I really want for Lesnar....but I reckon he could escape this round and possibly even the next.

Ah, the joys of the draft; deciding how safe you are leaving a name you really want in favour of one you need this round and the worrying about it all night.

D2D · 07-01-2012 9:13pm

C'mon Flah, I've got a nice pick lined up

I know it can be frustrating to wait around but we'll all need the 24hr rule at some stage, you can be sure of that.

Cheers, I was lucky with two decent draws. Still plenty of time for me to screw up my roster ... and always do crap with the write ups anyway.

A lot of great options still remaining in this round, had a five wrestlers in mind for Angle, with Bret Hart on top, and the only other one on the list that has been picked is HBK (Hart was top as hbk wrestled angle previously).

flahavaj · 08-01-2012 11:17am

Wow Nice surpsise to find Taker still available. Maybe Ill do Crippler vs The Cripple. :pac:

Some good rosters taking shape. Cactus is incredible relly and Misawa vs HBK could be stummimg.

I thought he would have been in the top 3... also theres a name which I'm shocked still hasnt gone yet. (saying that the next pick will probably be him)

waltersobchak · 08-01-2012 11:42am

My pick may have lasted until the next round but i couldnt take the chance.. I'm actually very excited about booking this guy vs CM Punk..:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

Lord TSC · 08-01-2012 11:52am

Bah, I knew I was foolish in hoping Taker would stay available...

On the upside, there's only 6 left in front of me, and I've got a list of about 6 people I'd be happy with.

I think I know who you're on about but I'm going a different route;)

D2D · 08-01-2012 1:22pm

Someone is impatient (couldn't even leave me PM you :pac: )

Anyways, delighted I got Y2J:D

thebostoncrab · 08-01-2012 1:30pm

Punk vs Roberts.

****.me.

Lord TSC · 08-01-2012 1:40pm

There's one name I'm shocked hasn't gone, and I'm hoping he goes before it gets to me cause I don't want him for Lesnar but could not pass him up.

Got a list of five guys I want who are big names though.

And only three left in front of me.

CMpunked · 08-01-2012 1:47pm

Turns out im in the same predicament with my options as TSC was yesterday.
Someone pick a number between 1 and 3.

waltersobchak · 08-01-2012 1:48pm

I think its pretty obvious who the big name left is, i guess its all to with how he fits in with people's rosters and storylines, i think this year there's a lot less of people taking big names just for the sake of it(well so far anyway)

Garseys · 08-01-2012 1:53pm

interesting choice walter, someone I wouldn't expect to go so early.

waltersobchak · 08-01-2012 1:57pm

Thanks man, the last 2 years my rosters where built around workrate, so this year i thought i'd jazz it up with a bit more "Sports Entertainment":pac:

Honestly you cant expect anything in the Draft, literally anyone can be picked right from under you, when you're least expecting it, never bank on anything!!

Garseys · 08-01-2012 1:59pm

actually has someone got an updated list of who has been drafted? I need to keep tabs :pac:

Pick made.

Mr.Nice Guy · 08-01-2012 2:22pm

Wow, some of these potential feuds are mouthwatering! Can't wait to see how everything pans out.

Things will probably be slow enough at weekends like in previous years.

You couldn't have said 2 or 3 could you?!:(

Lord TSC · 08-01-2012 2:53pm

Sting was second my list of people I want this round. Jericho was three. So I've still got my 1st pick (though I'll still be amazed if Glen or Mach don't pick him).

A Primal Nut · 08-01-2012 3:50pm

I love the undertaker and before the draft started I thought I would have wanted him but then I expexted him to go before me and thought hogan would be a good rival for sheamus so by the time I got a choice I chose hogan. Will try to get taker another year.

I honestly dont know who this big star everyone is talking about is. As in anyone I expected to go by now has been taken.

Spongey1975 · 08-01-2012 4:26pm

I had a great storyline for the Undertaker if i had have gotten him but knew he wouldnt be there at 15. Three more to go before i pick so dont expect my next couple of choices to be still there

D2D · 08-01-2012 6:08pm

FYI to all dirtsheets, all official D.W.O news stories will be revealed on the D.W.O's official twitter account

Lord TSC · 08-01-2012 6:28pm

The tension here is killing me. I know who I want this round and if I get him, I know who I want for the rest of the draft, but if he goes....

glenjamin · 08-01-2012 7:45pm

Lads I'm going to be a while. I'm off to work shortly to do a 12 hour shift so won't be making my pick until I get home. I'd make it now except I haven't a clue who I'm going to pick. Sorry lads

You were saying?

The Volt · 08-01-2012 8:49pm

Odd choice given some of the names remaining but each to their own!

D2D · 08-01-2012 8:55pm

There might be a potential trade coming;)
