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

    I have vague memories about WCW but i was...around 7 at the time but i didn't like the look of the set in general, the wrestlers too. I thought it was a poor man's WWF (which looked awesome and had tons of jakked giants with fantastic characters and talent) ....didn't warm to Steamboat, Flair, Sting or whoever else might've been there!

    (I still think it looks poor lol)

    Yeah that was still the days of crappy arenas and such, before Bishoff took over and moved them to Disney MGM studios.. The WWF Superstars show would have been far superior at the time. Nitro used to be TNT aswell as ITV, which was the channel that aired after The Childrens Channel on satelite back in the day, very vaguely remember seeing a few episodes when i was a kid

    I might have missed this conversation before but I assume there is still going to be a round when Pre-1970's picks are eligable and another for Celebs.

    Yes, make your pick, and make sure to keep an eye on the board. This game usually lasts approx 10-12 weeks.

    Some users might find these sites useful for getting pictures / title lists / etc for their choices:

    Happy enough with my pick although he wasn't in my first few choices. With a decent draw in the second round I'm sure I'll be fine :)

    Question regarding our own role in the storylines. I know last year some people (myself included) drafted someone to be general manager but is it acceptable to take that role on myself within the storylines or must I draft someone to do that for me?

    Danielson is not an obvious choice and I still think he's a bad first pick. The guys drawn nothing in his career and there are more talented wrestlers left who are at least on par with Danielson in the ring and probably better but have actually drawn

    Would agree with you there, he probably would've been available in round 2

    I forgot I was next so i didn't want to give away my plans in the above post but I don't see how you could pick Danielson over Benoit and a few others left who are better than him in the ring and have actually done something worthwhile with their careers. ROH might seem like the base of great wrestling now but it's got nothing on the stuff WWE was doing with the Smackdown 6, WCW cruiserweights and the Super j cup

    i think i know who Mr. Nice Guy will pick, purely because i just have a feeling i'm going to get screwed, not because i can read his mind. and with my heart set on someone, i might actually be a little bummed to lose out.

    i'm giving you a lot of power here MNG!

    i do have a 2nd choice, an excellent one imo, but you know how it is. you get an idea and you don't want to let it go.

    and by the way, people have been left out of the top 14 picks that I'm absolutely flabbergasted at.

    I was half hoping Danielson would be around in the 2nd round. Very suprised he went this early, given some of the hugh names not picked yet. Ah well...

    Cactus Col here ... I'm in the same boat as Ping_girl. Don't have access to the old email address I signed up here with. If it wasn't for the draft I wouldn't be too bothered about identifying myself .... but wouldn't want to miss out on any picks (or miss out completely on the rest of the draft).

    Or a guy who won the world title in the main event of Wrestlemania at Madison Square Garden vs a guy who won the roh title in front of 800 people. Ya can look at it either way
