I don't think the Wild Samoans have been picked but if they have I'll change it asap.

they were on my list for potential backup picks so id guess they are a fine pick and def add good depth to your tag division

i don't find it more serious at all.

i really don't know what people are talking about.

there's a bit of competition, but that's natural.

TBC, i really hope you reconsider.

if people are actually taking it very seriously, i urge you to cop on a bit, and if people are actually being a bit precious about the whole thing, grow a set and rejoin tbh.

nobody's said anything personal, or abused anyone, or even close. there was clarification asked for on certain things. i don't get what is wrong with that in all honesty? once certain picks get clarified (which has needed to be barely any at all), just move on, like Walt did.

as i say, i don't see where all this "it's gotten serious this year" craic has come from. i think people are possibly taking things more personally than they really need to be.

Clarification of the rules is a normal, interesting part of the draft not sure why anyone would be offended over it.

Just read Volt/Slickric joint venture man it was awesome the 1st match I would pay to see and written very well with plenty of details

The over the top rope match I like how ye brought in that the winner gets a title shot at some stage in their own promotion

Sid vs Anderson scissors on the pole maybe the best match up in draft history

and all finished up with AJ and Steamboat which would be one awesmone match up

the groutch

I apologise if I offended anyone during the draft so far.

Most of what I've said is seeking clarification the rules, with this being my first time trying this (loving it btw) there's alot of things not written in the rules in the very first post that have caught me by surprise, some of which even BH & D2D have said are still grey areas. I just feel that everyone should have equal chances to put together a great draft.

Btw if anyone does have an issues with anything I said, I'd prefer if they just come out with it, and I won't take it personally. Life's to short to bear grudges.


(on a side note, great pick Garseys, was for a long time thinking of picking Raven for a hardcore match against Foley)

Some feedback regarding House shows

MNG: You have me hooked with the Shawn Micheals storyline I cannot wait to see where you go with it, best storyline of draft so far

Liz: You use what I would call the up and comers others would call mid carders so well Liz and really make them shine as main event guys

Garseys: For me the suprise package so far this year been honest roster is probably not as good as others but writing more then made up for that just shows roster is not everything

BH: Big Johnny was a inspired pick and probably the best writer so far the co-gm thing has my interest I tried this myself a couple of years ago and would think it would actually be a fun angle in a real fed

Caspa: Great effor dude very old school feel and have a feeling well enjoy your PPV

Primal: Must of took you ages to out all that up with vids and spoilers and so on but it was worth it used Rikishi really well only neg is though you used Brian Chrisopher who is not on your roster ( yet ) but that is only something small

CMpunked: Ah your write up was too good probably my favorite so far , wriing skills are off the hook and used the roster brilliantly

SlickRic

AJ Styles
Mr Perfect
"Superstar" Billy Graham
The Road Warriors
Arn Anderson

thanks for everyone's thoughts so far, fair play to you.

First off, my apologies. My bi-polar is acting up alot lately and it's coming out in alot of different places that it normally doesnt. Hence my "**** this, it' not fun" attidude. I didn't mean any offence and am not trying to single people out. I had hit a bad batch and was letting it out the wrong way.

I'll stick around for the rest of the game, but my other point still stands; I don't have alot of free time, so my shows won't be as frequent as others and I won't have the time to put as much into them as I'd like. So let's carry on.

My first show is posted there, feedback would be great I'll be reading everyone elses shows this evening and will comment on them then.

Just saw this, think it looks like great fun. Shame I missed the deadline.

Does this only happen once a year?!

Yep

Mr.Nice Guy

Just had a read of a few write-ups I missed.

CMPunked - Very entertaining GM in Teddy. This show was a lot of fun with surprising results like in the Henry/Kazarian match. Loved the cliffhanger ending too.

Slick/Volt joint show - fair play for putting together a show and not giving a load of non-finishes as seems to happen in real life when companies do this type of thing. The MITB idea was nicely done. If this is what we can expect from your shows then you will both do very nicely.

campo - The Mr T bit made me laugh out loud. I think he's a great character to have on your show. I enjoyed the final angle too. Interested to see where you go with Koloff.

Liz - You gave Heenan some great one-liners. This is another show that had me laughing. The one about does Storm's baby look like him was great. I'm not sure my guy Warrior will like that comment Heenan made about him even if it's probably fair. :pac:

tbc - We need Vampiro to run for office here. Really liked that promo. The Del Rio/Austin interaction was also great. I have been looking forward to this feud. You gave some really tasty matches on the show as well. Good stuff.

caspa307

pick made, pm sent,


cant belive MNG took half of my tag team lol, will read through the writeups tommorrow

Furious-Red

Pick made , have a feeling one of them might be gone (but if so ill change)

Yup i was right ha , so changed it

Also threw up my 1st show (some of it was a bit rushed )

Mr.Nice Guy

Nice show, F-R. Very cool ending to it and Arnie as GM is shaping up very nicely. Nice theme choice for him. :cool:

Edit: Just added my first show. Any feedback welcome.

glenjamin

Lads looking to offload Hardcore Holly in exchange for pretty much anyone, male, female, or celebrity.

Bounty Hunter

I'd ceheck who has crash gj

I believe that's now 6 former bwa members drafted by Walt and WECWF: 3 Von Erichs , JYD, Harley Race & Liger. Guess you could call the the TNA to my WWE hovering up all my discarded talent :PAC:

Though seing as I've been in every draft it'd probably be hard enough to find many rosters without former BWA stars at this stage.

thebostoncrab

Sorry Horsebox, BH already drafted Johnny Ace with Kobashi

Yup got big johnny nice and early but I guess I should have put / laurenitis beside the ace as not everyone might be too familiar with him pre his current role.

campo

Just read the last couple of house shows

MNG: Man the Micheals storyline is like a mystery novel that I cant get enough of and you write for Cornett so well

Walter: The Punk promo at the end was epic and the monday night wars is really heating up

Can I suggest we do the same thing as last year when it comes to the final votes I think we got to vote for top 7 as the competition this year is high I would hate to leave some people out in the end

caspa307

love all the writeups so far its great to see how much effort goes into these, loving them all so far cant wait to see whats next

Horsebox9000

Sorry about that. I'm out at ye moment so I will think in of another pick later

Mr.Nice Guy

I caught walt's show before I went to bed last night. Great stuff and the promos were all entertaining. I also must say I popped big for the 'did you know' bit. That was inspired.

Horsebox9000

Pick made, sorry about that folks.

I checked that list and could not see if my fella was there, so if I somehow missed him on the list I am sorry!
