The 2012 PW Draft *Discussion thread - voting info post 2048*

Tbh, there's only one pre-70s guy I want and I imagine he'll be one of, if not the, first guy to go....

And now a dilemma, I had no intention of picking a pre-1970's wrestler but the great draw could change my mind in that regard.

My dilema has been decided thanks to my very late number. Couldnt really decide on one i could pick and use effectively, suppose i wont really have to now.
Is this one of those stip rounds where the stip is optional, like can you still choose a normal non-stip wrestler?

Think I know who you are on about and in two minds whether to pick him or someone who may fit my roster a bit better decision decisions

Lord TSC

Yeah, thats the thing. He's a big personality but I don't know if I'd be able to use him all that well (well, I could, given I've got Flair....)

thebostoncrab

Think I know who are you on about, and I say go for him. I had him last year and he was brilliant to book.

A Primal Nut

I got the ok by PM so I changed my pick. The New Age Outlaws are now re-united.

Hi guys. Just from a neutral standpoint on the commentator thing if somebody has picked a commentator to be an on-screen personality then I think the commentator should be left to that person. It also gets a bit dull if every single write-up has the same commentators so you're wasting a chance to be different too.

can I PM someone to get a ruling before making my pick

You can PM me if ya want

Lord TSC

Awh, was going to pick Kaientai to feud with Carlito and Santino

CMpunked

Can someone clarify two rules for me?

1. The commentator debacle.
2. If the pick this round must be a pre-1970s pick.

the pre 70s pick is optional

Ohhh how i love reading the boards pw draft hours of fun ! . Got me back into wrestling before, maybe it will again. Would have loved to have played it again but i haven't watched it for years now...................... I still lurk though :cool:

Bounty Hunter

CM: as said this rd the pre 70s debut pick is optional and re your other query I think the fairest thing would be that when I get back from viatnam I'll add a poll to this thread to see if commentators should be available to all in write ups or just those who draft them.

Personally I feel if you drafted them they should be exclusive to you but nothing to stop others writing for their commentators in say JRs style but not naming him etc

Been a while but glad you still lurk though having good memories of your Around The Horn posting which (cheap plug) will be back again maybe a month after the draft concludes this year.

In a wifi'd up cafe ATM so despite me sending D2D a big list of picks for while I'm gone I'll prob post my pick myself in a few minutes (just recheck I'm next first)

thebostoncrab

Flah and I traded Marafuji for Hansen, that's the only one I can spot

campo

Aftr reading up on my next pick I never realised how well he actually suits my roster my PPV i going to be changed because of it but really looking forward writing with him

JP Liz V1

I'd be open to trade offers, pm if anyone is interested

thebostoncrab

If I get my pick this round then my trading doors are closed, but if I don't then they are wide open! Half way through the round my roster style changed dramatically and a major match rests in this round

campo

Only person I would trade now is Matt Morgan , plans for the rest

the groutch

with 3 matches in place, I might start picking tactically who would fit into other people's plans with view to trading

SlickRic

if someone wants Arn & Tully, and doesn't want to take the píss with their offer, I might listen.

i'm open to trades for Hacksaw too.

Garseys

Just to put out there aswell, I'm open to Trades on Ryder and Hawkins
and La Resistance.

flahavaj

Firesale on Team Flah. Recession beating bargains available. No offer too small.......

No offer too small?

I'll give you Carlito for Undertaker. :P

Kind of surprised at the amount willing tot rade this year. If I remember right, last year everyone was the opposite...

campo

Picks are up wanted this guy every year in the draft and this is the 1st year I have managed to get him

SlickRic

sorry for the moan, but i'm sick of these low draws for the big rounds

Great draft and for me had to be no.1 this rd especially with orndorff free. Picked that team previously myself also.

PHEW!!! I thought for sure you'd take who I have my eyes on, since they fit both our rosters perfectly. High hopes now!
