Yeah 1965 debut unfortunately and a former NWA World Champion, so Dreamer is unable to be picked with him:.

Bounty Hunter

Hope Paulie can pick again as he was saying he was heading out. Booker is a good one and one I'd say many might have overlooked with only 1 appearance

Bounty Hunter

Honestly can't remember protocol here do we plough on or wait for Paulie to re-do his pick? I assume he has gone out now although I did pm him back about Funk when he pmd me to say I was up

Guess it's totally your call BH!

That turned into a really strange selection choice for me, some really good options from people over worked with others I have on my roster already, to people I had in the past who I wanted to let others write for.

I am not sure why Booker stood out as the person to pick in the end, maybe just because of his achievements, I am not actually that familiar with his WCW work so I will have to look at some old WCW stuff.

One person I really struggled to not pick was left behind though so I know I will regret it, as is always the way on the draft.

Paulie had 24 hours to make the pick, its a simple mistake i guess so i imagine its fair to allow the rest of the 24 hours to fix it.

DM_7

I really like that Raven and Saturn pick.

Raven must be one of the best people to write for.

LeeJM

Quick enquiry and dont mean to be pedantic but isnt Raven a former TNA Champ and thus ineligible to be drafted as part of a team? Im probably wrong and if I am i very much regret not getting him and Saturn

thebostoncrab

That moment when you accidentally discover a tag team that featured in ECW as separate times!

TNA when they used NWA belt so i don't think it counts. NWA belt only counts for pre WCW HW title reigns.

As you are one of the great finders of the draft I am curious about who that is. Every chance it's someone not on my list for this round although I had people who meet that criteria.

LeeJM

Thats a good enough explanation for me!! Raven and Saturn is the pick of the draft so far. Seriously jealous now

Hopefully neither of them are picked but I think there they'll sneak past. This is why I love the draft, it's great to use the rules to undercover hidden gems and discover bits of wrestling history

Dont do it Crabbie

Necro

19th in next round.... my planned pick, back up and I expect to be snapped up by then! Research is required!

paulie21

Apologies, total forgot about the 1970 debut date, I'm going to change it now

Uncle Walt

Pick for BH made, rather jealous as the Brainbusters were top of my list for this round! Damn BWA *shakes fist!

thebostoncrab

DAMNIT!

Yup.. I 100% knew that's the tag team you where after!

DM_7

Big Show is an interesting pick. Lots can be done with him.

The parody we see today can't take away from the early days and times he was booked well (such as his WWECW run).

One of my favourite times watching him was with D Bryan on Smackdown, really helped put him over.

Uncle Walt

I had one or 2 other picks in mind but i went with my gut for this pick!

Stereomaniac

I love the picture that you used there. Talk about fabrics only fit for a King, really and truly!

JP Liz V1

Some very interesting tag team picks gone this round

A Brad Maddox Guy

Lawler was the guy I thought about taking instead of Batista last round, he would have fit my plans but I don't think I could do him justice as I've not seen enough of his old wrestling career. Thought he would go a bit earlier in this round tbh.

Mr.Nice Guy

The brainbusters are a super pick. I was going to take them if they reached me but I had a feeling they would be scouted. There's a good few star names still available.

Bounty Hunter

gotta admit seeing the BWAs long time rivals WECWF and MNG (plus crab man) had m'boys Arn & Tully top of there lists does make the pick even more sweet. Still lots of quality ECW guys left on the board though.

Never booked the Brainbusters before though but think they will really add to the feel of this years BWA

Also Lawler has now been in all 3 rival promotions in the past 3 years
