i still think the industry is fairly low on actual legitimate draws then.

I think today, there aren't too many that draw. It is the brand WWE that draws people to events.

But in the past, there have been plenty of draws.

Sure some of the later stars of the territories are open to us and they all had to be draws in their area

nice pick MCMG were actually a no.1 draft last year.

ill have mine up soon, it may be considerd controversial but i did ask yesterday if there was a loophole i spotted to make an awesome draft like some did last year with the somewhat loose rules did anyone object, and heard nothing so... here it goes.

well like i said its a loophole kinda like last year when i think Mistico made it in just due to having had a WWE trial before. Id imagine next year the fact that only western heavyweight champs are excluded from being in tag teams will be adressed but i noticed that it wasnt the case this time.

so BWA so far:

Hulk Hogan
Kenta Kobashi
Mitsuharu Misawa

Outstanding pick there BH, I know of someone who asked me was that pick eligible, so he aint going to be happy. Up there with Pingus for ingenuity.

Also, I liked Jaykhunters pick there. I picked them first round last time as I wanted them to main event my card. Worked pretty well I might add.

Good first pick also from Waltersobchak. It was a ballsy pick, which you got some heat over, but I do not see why. If you book him well, and tbh that is an easy job, it will turn out to be a top pick.

gimmick

Also, once I receive my old account back/mod status given back, I will update the first post in the picks thread.

There is one pick I am SHOCKED has not been taken yet. If I were in this years draft he is who i would have taken first round.

cheers, happy i didnt hold off on it then if someone else was thinking it which i did not expect.

I also plan to help out updating the OP with picks once im back so it should be kept fairly well updated.

there are 3 really good 2nd rd picks left imo, people id have been happy with in Rd1 if i got a late number

D2D

Damn me and my lack of knowledge of classic/foreign wrestlers. I have a few choices for Rnd2 but not 1 real big name. I honestly can't think of anyone/team from the mid-90's back.

My roster will be a mix of WWE/TNA/ an other company

Jolt2007

Hell of a pick BH, I remember being all excited about thinking of that team last year before someone picked Kobashi right before my turn.

D2D

Great pick BH, definetly wouldn't have thought of them

Next pick is Voltwad then Jolt2007 and then myself

I hopefully will

I have no plans what-so-ever with mine. If I like a wrestler and he's available, I'll pick him. No regrets, no worries:):D:)

Jolt2007

There should be plenty of big names to last another few rounds at least. Maybe not instant top level main eventers but names big enough to top a card without raising eyebrows.

waltersobchak

Lads were does the original ECW stand in this? is it part of WWE because it was disolved into it? like say i want someone who only wrestled in ECW never WWE/WCW does it count?

gimmick

People are a little too obsessed with big names here. FFS, we are always giving out about new talent not being pushed. Here, you have a clean slate more or les and you can book whomever you please how ever you wish.

campo

I also have no real plans with my roster I just wait and see who picks who before me and then make my pick based on that, with regards to ECW im sure you can pick someone from there if they have not wrestled in WWE although cant think of any myself that you might want to pick , But question in the championship can I pick an ex ECW world champ and put him in a tag with someone who he has tagged with numerous of times obviously he would only have held the ECW title

gimmick

The ECW title is not recognised as a world title for the purposes of this game.

I havent checked the rules with regardss the ECW title but last year it was that the original ECW title counted as a world title as far as tag teams go but the WWECW title doesent as it is more a midcarder belt.

edit: but having seen Gimmicks post i guess the old one now isnt counted either

yes if they wrestled in ECW only they were previously eligable too so cant see why they wouldent be this time

And the Ultimate Warrior joins the HVW.

Wont be too many bigger draws as far as I'm concerned. He'll play a pivotal role in my show.
