    Ha I had him down as my next pick but said I'd go for another tag team!

    Haha, I'd have gone mad if you picked him! Especially because I'd already written that out

    I think Bounty Hunter will pick soon too so if KKV and orestes are feeling like night owls we might make good progress. :)

    According to my calculations, so far 7 people have reached their 2 tag team limit already. That will rise to 8 if Bounty Hunter picks a tag team.

    Damn! Muraco was very much in my thoughts. One of the great IC champs of all time and terrific on the mic. Real funny vid of him with Piper here.

    Way to ruin that reunion on me Bounty Hunter. :mad:

    We don't have to pick 2 do we? Considering there have been so many limits reached hopefully I can pick up a decent team on the cheap. Had T and A in mind, very good pick

    It's going to be interesting to see how the picking turns out with some people (like myself and Bounty Hunter) going for rosters that have draw power at the top of their agenda while others (Fozzy and Vince) have clearly gone for technichally gifted rosters

    No you just need to have one team. Two teams is just the maximum allowed.

    I reckon a lot of heel tag teams are going fast. That's why I went for the Rougeaus. RebelRockChick seems to know her retro wrestling and I know Vince likes the Rougeaus as much as I do, so when I saw the Wild Samoans taken I felt I needed to act.

    I know we have to have one tag team, but do we have to have at least one female on the roster or are they optional?

    Yes you need to have at least one female on your roster and can have a maximum of two as with the tag teams.

    Wasn't their pick the Road Warriors? They're gone a while.

    I've just been picking guys I like. I had a choice of a lot of big names at the start but Kerry Von Erich was the one I liked the most

    I'm not sure if it's fair to say that Vince's roster hasn't got much drawing power, Lawler was one of the biggest draws out of everyone picked so far

    Are people thinking of the feuds and matches they want their guys to have? I've started thinking about my main event but not sure what wrestlers I'll go with.

    Edit: I'll whack the plans for deteterming the challenge winner in my sig to make it easier for people to find and have a look at.

    until this round i hadnt thought about it tbh but I think a lot of mine will write itself as i now have several ideas i expect to use.

    its two PPVS isnt it we build? for example after the Runmble the road to Wrestlemania inc. No Way Out

    Cool, thanks for clearing that up, this is a whole lot of posts to go looking through for stuff

    Yeah I've been starting to think about that recently too, are we doing the Road to Wrestlemania, starting after the Rumble?

    dont think the road to Wm was mentioned anywhere but in my previous post as an example although id assume if people are to name the 2 PPV's if that is what it is, then NWO & WM would make sense.

    No just the one PPV which would be basically a blow-off to whatever feuds people have been having. Two PPVs would seem a lot of work to me. :pac:

    Well we didn't specify a PPV but since it's a WWE Draft we could if we want. It's up to everyone to determine who their number 1 contender will be and how that will come about.

    Ah right. I missed out on a whole chunk of this thread, and there is a lot to get through so I'm just trying to piece together the details. Yeah, I figure if we're doing 2 ppv's that would make the most sense

    Edit: just saw mng's reply, 1 ppv does seem a lot easier, cheers

    Sorry about all the questions guys, I'll try and pay more attention in future

    No worries, questions are welcome. After Round 10 is finished I'll post up what is planned so everyone knows what's going to happen. :)

    I'm a little lost. I didn't know we had to book a card at the end of this. I was just trying to get a load of guys that could work together over a long period of time, not a roster built for 1 blow off show.

    I'm not saying doing 1 card is a bad idea but with only 10 picks, I think it's a little flawed.

    Danielson is a great great pick. He was very much in mind for me, and I almost went for him this round, but thought he might slip through again.

    I'm mega pissed off. I've spent all day in work sneaking off to write up my pick (wrestling pictures look decidedly like male porn, by the way!) and then the whole thing dies on me for no apparent reason. Screw it all!

    Definitely his peak

    Poncho "You're hit, you're bleeding man"

    Jesse "Blain" "the Body" Ventura "I ain't got time to bleed"

    classic

    I think your not completely right there. It's fair to say that my roster mightn't end up being full of guys who drew in the WWE but hopefully when people are assessing each roster, they'll be able to look beyond that as "drawing power" existed long before Hulk Hogan, Austin etc....
