Also if picking a Tag Team, both men have to be ECW guys, right?

thats correct both have to have appeared on ECW

Does appear mean wrestle? Or just appear during a show.

beakerjoe

appeared on a show.

If you didn't ask you'd have gotten away with just appear so i'll say appear.

A Brad Maddox Guy

Yeah there's loads for this stip, I didn't even have to look very far to get about 30 good names that are still available.

Hopefully he gets on in the next few hours but if Cheese misses his deadline and I put up my pick does it go back to him?

thebostoncrab

I love this stip! I'm a fan of the "Must have appeared in X fed" rules since it rewards research and helps extend the big names out.

I just say BH thanks for everything you are doing so far with this. I know I have my two sense on the last stip and don't want to come across as ungrateful or throwing my toys out the pram. I think rolling with the punches is fine, but if a stip doesn't work it's good to air why it doesn't work so that next year it can be avoided or tweaked

from the OP of the picks thread

Missed Picks
The draft runs under a 24 Hour rule. In other words, you have 24 hours to make your pick from the moment the person prior to you has made theirs. This will be enforced so as not to slow down the game. If you think you are going to miss your window, PM someone a list of who you'd like and they can make your pick for you. Should you miss your window, your pick will be pushed back to the end of that round.

So if Cheese misses out, Brad goes then back to cheese, correct?

Bounty Hunter

forgot we were at the end of the last round again so guess so. Cheese has a few hours left though. Interestingly this is the closest weve come so far though usually a few miss the limit over the draft.

beakerjoe

Well he has been online today, so I wonder was he pm'd?

Yup, I pm'ed him like!

beakerjoe

Depending on who Brad and Cheese select, Ive a dilemma on my hands for the ECW round. Pick someone who would be a dream opponent or draft someone who would be a great character to write for ..... oooh I don't know what to do

JP Liz V1

Ah lads ye f*cking moany bunch now this new stip is compulsory and I'm near the end only messing that is the fun of the game

You are doing a great job BH, now lets start researching all things ECW as I'm sure my numero uno pick will be gone for sure

Cheese Wagstaff

Pick just up there, sorry for the delay! Bring on the next round!

A Brad Maddox Guy

Happy enough with big Dave. I knew I wasn't going to get any of my top 10 choices so relieved to get my 11th

thebostoncrab

Batista always seems to make as a late pick every year and I don't know why, he is an absolutely quality pick and a joy to write for!

beakerjoe

I was really hoping Big Dave made it to this round as he was eligible. I had a great story for him and Nakamura in my head. great value pick Brad. Back to the drawing board

Really hate going first, I fear I may miss someone great going first.

Have a tag team in my head (both of which never tagged in ECW but both have appeared in ECW, one in the Heyman years and one in the Vince years). Just going to do research so I might take an hour

Lord TSC

Sigh.

I sat down. Made up a list. Realized there was a name I want so, so, SOOOOO badly Can't imagine he'll last 11 picks though

beakerjoe

Just discovered a tag team available... decisions decisions

Mr.Nice Guy

Been busy for the day so just catching up with the last few pages now. I wanna say thanks to BH for the classy and measured way he's dealt with this round and I hope you aren't feeling this is a thankless task at the moment based on recent posts because I, and I'm sure everybody else, really appreciate the thought that you are putting into this.

I've decided that from here on out the only criticism coming Bounty Hunter's way from me will be the traditional jibes directed against BWA by Monday Night Grappling.

Nah don't take them, for some reason I think I know who you may want and perhaps naively I was hoping that while all my singles picks would probably get snapped up that one might not spring to mind as an option to some and slip to later in the round (me).

Go with that 1 from Vince's ECW one from Heymans instead, like the sound of that one :pac:

beakerjoe

Happy to get the Bucks, a fine replacement for my original pick. Plenty of picks like the Bucks who only appeared on ECW on SciFy once

Bounty Hunter

Yep they are not my planned pick so only another 11 to go before me unless we get an aaaaaaaahhhhhh replacement all of whom hopefully won't pick at least 1 of 4/5 I would really like

thebostoncrab

Don't think BLANK are eligible as a team, BLANK is a former TNA World Champion.


Edited the post so that we don't mention names for this round now that the pick has been changed

Bounty Hunter

Yeah I pmd him, he already changed it once so im sure he will change it again soon

infact he has now - Public Enemy

Vince is a superb pick.

I never thought he'd get to me, and it would've possibly been too easy to have him and HHH on the same roster, but I'd have found it hard to resist if he'd made it to me.
