The 2010 Boards.ie Draft (Discussion and Reaction)

Bounty Hunter

Austin and Goldberg together on one roster.... nice

campo

Noooooooooooooooooo I was praying he would be picked on to plan B then

D2D

Goldberg and Austin on the same roster?!? Nice thinking, Jolt:):)

I'm up now, Furious-Red is up next, then MNC

campo

meant praying he would not be picked DOH But Austin and Goldberg nice roster up there with Cactus one for me

Jolt2007

Cheers for the kind words. I couldn't resist it being a guy who was at his markiest (is that a word?) when those two were at their peak and a match between them would've been so huge.

Spongey1975

Goldberg was my second option at the start of the round but didnt even consider he would get anywhere near me at number 15. Remarkably my first choice is still available. Which sod is going to rob him on me?

Bubs101

The Warrior vs. Lesner would be one of the best matches ever created in this draft btw

Bounty Hunter

was really surprised Eddie hadnt gone by now, he's a top draft and was a rd1 draft last year iirc

D2D

Pick made. Surprised he wasn't taken earlier. Took me a few mins to write the reason/tribute up

waltersobchak

finally! i cant believe that took so long for eddie to be picked!

campo

Top pick

Bubs101

Yeah, he was my first choice for this draft

D2D

Sooo, now we wait for Furious-Red to make his pick.

Rnd2 picks remaining
11. Furious Red; 12. Mr Nice Guy; 13. flahavaj; 14. Gerard.C; 15. Spongey 1975; 16.waltersobchak; 17. JP Liz; 18. Vince135792003; 19.campo; 20. Bubs101

gimmick

Honest to God, how Eddie took that long Ill never know. Should have been a number 1. Perfect for any roster.

Spongey1975

In the space of a few minutes my first two choices for the second round go. I'm surprised Eddie Guerrero lasted so long.

Bubs101

What's the story with members of factions who inconsistently teamed over an extended period

gimmick

This was all specified. No, they are not eligible. Say for example, you cannot pick Xpac and Hall as they were never considered a tag team per se.

rules in post 1 of this thread wrote:

- Members of factions, ie Saturn and Malenko, are not deemed valid picks as they are not classed as legit tag teams under the criteria for the game.

Been totally swamped this week so haven't been on much. That and getting a new password was like pulling teeth! Thankfully Voltwad pm'ed me about it and I saw it in hotmail

Holy crap BH - Kobashi AND Misawa! Fantastic! Would've have ever thought about it.

Lol Voltwad I heard Warrior won't wrestle on your card unless you pay him $200,000 Awesome pic....think of the promos...Now if you get Scott Steiner you could stage an industry-changing 'debate' between the two

Joltberg! Great choice. I haven't seen much WCW so he never crossed my mind! Austin and Goldberg on the same roster!! :O:O

Eddie's a fantastic talent D2D...be great in the main event or below.

There's two guys i'm dying to have on my roster...if I get either I'll be happy. They're not big stars so hopefully...!

Thanks Cactus for this. The finished rosters'll be amazing if the 1st two rounds are anything to go by.

Money's not a problem I hanve an inkling as to who you might pick but I'll stay tight lipped. As far as Steiner goes, I think I'll be avoiding him, the video in the Fail thread reminded me why

campo

will my pick ever come I have actually changed my mind 3-4 times who my next pick is depending of course if the 4 people I want are still in at that stage

No worries .... thought it'd be handy to see who's been picked by who, without having to root through the picks thread.

I have to admit, Brock Lesnar v The Ultimate Warrior is probably the best match available from all the rosters as they stand. (right behind Flair v Savage of course).

Can't quite get my head around the juxtaposition of Bounty Hunter's two choices. I can't disagree that Kobashi and Misawa are great workers ... but it's still mad. But it sets a nice precedent for japanese tag teams at least. I had a pair who were big in japan last year in my roster, but I don't think people appreciated just how good a choice they are / were.

gimmick

Well the precedent was set with Pingus pick really. As long as these fellas wrestled in America for the eligible promotions and they tagged for long enough anywhere, its ok. The Japanese world titles are not considered as such for the game.

campo

I know you would pick Punk Furious but I must say a Punk / Jericho feud would be class both of them trying to save us in there own special way

D2D

Punk/Jericho?? I'm interested in that. Good Pick Furious-Red

MNG is next up, followed by flahavaj then Gerard.C

If people are worried about people not knowing their picks then they should provide back up, ie videos as to why we should buy into it

Furious-Red

Cheers he was my first option in this round and was to afraid to leave him till another round

Yup i think it will make a great feud , both can play the heels so well

Bubs101

I wanted Punk for a storyline but not in round 2. My first pick is still here but I'm guessing Vince is taking him. I'm hoping he'll go to Japan for it

Gerard.C

Pingu and BH made unreal picks in round 2. Jesus if i was in the top half of this round I would have jumped through fire for Eddie Guerrero, shocked he made it this far. One more, then I'll throw up flahavaj's pick, as he is still in america gettin wrecked.
