Think the rule there is you're supposed to send either Lord TSC or the person after you a PM with a list of who you want in order and then they can post for you. Since there's only 2 people left to pick before you, you should probably send Moneymaker a list of 3 in case your first two choices are gone.

You're after me so send me your top 3 picks in order and I'll put it up straight after mine

PM Sent, cheers man.

And Bam bam is gone, got him as a bonus last year with a tag partner and i felt he served me well. An agile big man with a big mouth, cant go wrong for a mid card grappler like him

lebowskilite

Ah sh-te you know I didn't think they were eligible, I forgot that you'd picked them together last year.

Came very close to picking that tag team myself in the stop round. Bam Bam is a very good pick Imo

beakerjoe

Hes very versatile from a writing point of view. He can be a bully heel, a tough babyface, hired muscle, ...... last year i played him off his tag partners real life persona and i felt it gave him an extra dimension, and was perfect to play the backward thinking old school heel.

And hes a great wrestler. I think when it comes to the draft, its important to get a great personality over someone with wrestling skill for the write ups. Sure a roster with great wrestling mat skills can look great on paper but i feel personalities win you the write ups. If theres one thing I take from past winners and past great PPVs (mostly MNG) is that his characters personalities shine through and thats what makes them enjoyable rather than how good the match looks on paper.

Christ this round has dragged out.

How dare you all have lives.

I used to hate waiting last year for my pick.

This year ive found it so hard to find time when it was my pick.

edit : with TBC and yourself online, 3 picks should be made in the next while.

thebostoncrab

Was hoping to pick Paige with Emma, but suddenly discovering that Emma and Charlotte tagged frequently enough to make it through the tag team rule was brilliant, it might have made losing Paige a blessing in disguise

Its that what makes the draft great, missing out on someone and thinking outside the box to make things work.

My whole promotion was going to be Shawn as teh cocky heel versus the young HBK wannabe underdog John Morrison. I missed out but as a result my new headline feud seems to fit better for me and it all happened because of missing out on someone.

Moneymaker

TBC drafted Emma? My shock is palpable.

:pac:

thebostoncrab

I'm gonna make her bigger than Hogan brother!

Uncle Walt

Pick made pm sent and obligatory cheesy picture later

thebostoncrab

There are no cheesy pictures of Brusier; every single photo of him is just a diagram of how a real man should look!

Bounty Hunter

Ahh bruiser iirc I had him last and I made him someone who couldn't give a sh!t about winning or losing a match and just liked to battle Shiite outs folk...so in essence I changed very little... Instead of the futile idea of trying to change him though the BWA just stuck him with *insert crazy undrafted hardcore basdards name* and said have it lads

TSC. I guessing what's coming and know where I am but will ya fire up the next rounds draw. I think there are only two/three left to vote in round six.

Plllllease

Working on it now

Lord TSC

Stip round details up.

Basically, it's a round designed to maybe force people out of their comfort zones, maybe try someone new and to "shake things up" ever so slightly. There's still a MASSIVE list of names available though, and it will be the only round designed to cause problems :P

would I be right in guessing the 1970s debut rule is not still in effect and it is anyone who appeared in ECW or do we still have to pick younger folk?

honestly not sure if we have the same in mind but after some investigating im sure ill find the pick, but after being 20 for the tag team inc a world champ I was definitely hoping this stip would be a good one to be no.1 not a very restrictive one.

connemara man

yeah not a good stip to be down low

thebostoncrab

Thank God I found ONE of my planned women who wrestled in ECW, phew!

Lord TSC

All other rules stay in effect....

Spongey1975

Dammit. Time to put back on thinking cap back on. Next few planned picks are not ECW guys

brianregan09

Oh well I'm 10 not too bad I guess,but I bet my next pic won't make it through

Bounty Hunter

actually its kinda weird being no.1 in this stip round cos my top pick could still be taken by the next 3 to draft from the previous round. If not though I think I know who I want.

Mr.Nice Guy

I like this stip. I'm expecting some very interesting picks from people.

Plenty of names on my list have already had to be crossed off after the last spate of picks. Really like a lot of 'em.

Anyone else besides tbc use up all their tag picks yet? I've used up four so I need to think carefully about my last one.

beakerjoe

One the subject of tag teams for the next round, do both members of said tag team need to be part of ECW or only one? I imagine its both

Moneymaker

I like this stip because I got an early pick :pac:

A Brad Maddox Guy

Decided to take a risk and jump the queue for the ECW guys. Taz was on my list anyway but being 11th in the next round meant I had no chance of getting any of the 3 ECW guys I had really wanted. Relying on a lucky draw for Round 7 now.

Moneymaker

BMG has pissed so many of us off right now. :pac:

Bounty Hunter

def a smart move taking Taz now and a very interesting +1 too

Yep knew I left Tazz too late he was my World Champion pick from last year until i decided to swerve on the last 2 shows a great character and horribly underused in WWE

mrkiscool2

Phew. Was worrying all the way to my pick. Have to put my thinking hat on for the next round but delighted with picking up The Young Bucks!

thebostoncrab

The Young Bucks compliment your roster so well it's almost scary!

campo

Had to wait a while but finally got the one I wanted since the start of the draft

MR.ANDERSON.....................ANDERSON

Moneymaker

In terms on pure wrestling talent, MrK has a pretty sizable advantage imo.

Doesn't mean everything that being said. Strong characters/writing can more then make up for it.

An NXT/WcW 96-97 Cruiserweight roster merge is pretty insane though

Moneymaker

Aries is such good value at this stage. Definitely slipped under the radar.
