    Cheers, chuffed I was able to get him. Had him as a manager last year (in order to sabotage other people's rosters) so nice to have him as a wrestler this time.

    That was one of last years best picks actually. Everyone was wanting him in the pre 1975 round :D

    Always surprises me that Flair isn't in the top 2 or 3 picked in these things to be honest.

    As someone else said its nearly a blessing being way down the list as the usual suspects will be gone and the decision is practically made for you. Got some little beauts lined up already here and the seeds of some savage storylines but at this early stage its kinda silly to have picks planned, the draw is all-important.

    i dunno, Ireland didn't get WCW or NWA for the most part so I reckon most people (here) only saw Flair's WCW/NWA stuff retrospectively...i'm sure i'd like him more if I lived through his best days...got some great wrestlers in mind but they'll prob be gone by my next pick!

    things are heating up i'm liking this draft!

    Do you not remember WCW on a Saturday Afternoon on ITV/UTV in the very early 90s?

    Haha, give it a few weeks and it will be dominating your thoughts, and you will be getting genuinely peed off with other players for taking your picks etc :)

    I do but it's fair to say that if you ask the casual wrestling fan in Ireland about their first experience of wrestling, at least 90% will be a WWE memory.

    Very true, maybe 5-10% might say World of Sport, id love to say my first wasnt, but it was WWF in 1989 when i was 5 watching Ricky Steamboat, when he had his literal Dragon gimmick, shooting fire on his way to the ring, i never forgot that image!!,

    Best policy I find is count the number of people still to pick and make a shortlist of picks the same length. The you can't be disappointed. i've already got my list made up and I'd be happy with any of them.

    Also lads would it be a good idea to PM the next guy on the list once you've made your pick as a reminder they're up next? Maybe gimmick or BH could add it to the opening post or rules or something?

    Does campo even know they he/she is now a part if the game I wonder? Also are people who participated last year going to pick people they chose last year again or try and go for totally new rosters? Might try and wipe the slate clean myself again just for my own interest.
