    Some nice picks there in the last few hours, hopefully Mr. Guappa will be online soon and fingers crossed we'll have round 2 started before WrestleMania tonight.

    Indeed. I'm not at a whole lot this afternoon, so if he gets his in soon, I'll throw mine straight in after that. I've a plan B if he takes my first choice.;)

    Brock is a good pick. He was around for only a brief time so there are plenty of feud options that would feel fresh. Same goes for MCMG (Not the brief part just the fresh feud idea).

    Brock was one of 3 possible picks i had in mind good basis for a roster imo though def more heel than face. 2 more people before me now, hopefully i can get one of those picks, both of em are so so different and will lead to 100% different style of rosters tho, so i almost hope Flahavaj or Guappa pick one and leave one so that i dont have to chose which one i want

    This is what i love about this game. Everyone is the same
    "my plan is..." "if my plan comes to fruition.." etc

    Then out of nowhere

    "YOU BASTID! THAT WAS MY PICK!"
    The more things change, the more they stay the same. It's nice to see nobody learned from last year then. :)

    Right guys, I made a huge mistake at the start of the draft, I forgot to mention one of the main promotions in the states: ROH. Since it's only the first round, I don't think it has effected the draft, so from now, ROH wrestlers are eligible.

    Apologies if this has messed up anyone's first pick.

    Oh thank god. Now if my choice is taken I have many fall backs.

    BTW is the second round draw seeded?

    Em, unless MNG wants to do it, I don't think I will, because too many people said they preferred the original way.

    I'm not sure if this is still the case, but I remember reading ages ago that the ROH World title is regarded as one of the feww true World titles. My instinct is to say it is a World title, but if there is massive opposition, I'm willing to overturn this.

    Afraid not, other wise I would have had Legacy or DX for my first pick.

    I know nothing about TNA or ROH and I don't see a problem with them being included.

    Would you agree with WWE or TNA not being allowed if some people said they donn't know much about them?

    I don't see why the rules should be suited to some peoples ignorance (mine included)

    Don't be too sure of that.
    In this case your (and other people's) ignorance is your own downfall there. :)

    It works the other way as well though. If people fill their roster with ROH guys that no-ones heards of they have little hope of winning anyway.:D

    I'm not so sure, because people haven't heard of the guys from ROH, the first thing once they see an ROH name being drafted is go straight to youtube to see what the fuss is about.

    Because let's face it, we've a lot of curious minds on this forum. :)

    A chance to educate the masses so to speak!;)

    I like this stunning new development a lot.

    Lack of knowledge is no excuse whatsoever. I am sure there are plenty here also who know very little about TNA and they aint whining.

    Re the ROH title being classed as a world title for the purpose of the rules I would veer towards saying it is not. The main titles are WWE, WH, TNA and NWA. ROH is still an indy more or less.
