Get out. Super pick though TSC!

Mr.Nice Guy

Folks I'm having some logging in problems so can someone go to the picks thread and choose Cowboy James Storm for me? (I'm hoping he's available)

And if someone could PM the next in line I'd appreciate it.

Hopefully I will be able to log in properly soon. Cheers.

DM_7

I will make that pick for you.

I am up next anyway,

Grand, give me 5 minutes, have two choices and now sure which one to go with

Ooooh the midnight excitement.

TBC you have too many stored PMs, couldn't send you one!

Rusev lasted way too long for my liking. A great underutilized talent.

He suits my roster I think. Doubt he would have lasted much longer.

Overall with the stips and then people picking to suit plans in case others snap them up, thinking of Gable and Jordan as an example it has left some big names still available.

A Brad Maddox Guy

Great picks made there, Rusev definitely wouldn't have lasted much longer. He fits in perfectly with a number of rosters & it is a bit surprising it took until Round 8 for him to go.

Lots of big names still available, be interesting to see how many people go for a women's tag team this round due to the stip.

Beer Money gone ... that makes me a sad panda. They are great picks. A pity Roode hasn't made his way to NXT with Storm.

Are you aware of Storm and Roodes current status?

Not really I must admit. I thought Storm was in NXT and Roode was with GFW?

Imnotthehulk

Just did a bit of googling there ... Storm didn't sign with WWE after all! I'm fairly shocked.

Bounty Hunter

yep afaik Beer Money have reunited in TNA. Won't be happening in the draft though unless there is a trade

and Magnum TA is gone, tends to be used very well in the draft.

You might just very well win this thing Necrominus

aaaaaaaahhhhhh

Have to say don't think anyone has a bad roster this year. Some good names and mixes there.

But if I can be serious for a minute, Uncle Walt I think you have one of the best rosters in the game, especially with who I consider to be one of the most underrated and underused wrestlers in WWE ever, Lance Storm.

I was watching back last night to the RAW segments where SCSA was calling The Ideal Canadian BORING. Funny at the time, but boils my blood today

aaaaaaaahhhhhh

A Brad Maddox Guy

I also think Walt has the best roster on paper, any of the first 4 could headline & largely due to MNG's booking last year I'd fully buy Dynamite Kid doing anything. I'm not too familiar with the Great Sasuke but Regal, Storm & Liger at least are all exceptional wrestlers with Storm also being one of my underrated favourites as a kid/teen.

I'll give my half-way opinion on everyone's roster if I get time after lunch

Uncle Walt

Thanks lads! As BH pointed out earlier i think i may have the worst average draw so far ( i think I've only been in the top 10 once and that was like number 6 or something) so i guess its proof that high draws doesn't really matter!

beakerjoe

Ill have my pick up shortly, just deciding between two picks and unsure which route to take.

Bounty Hunter

Interesting to see the wrestler who have slipped through the cracks and not been picked because despite being huge names maybe people don't think they would be the best to write for.

There are 3 World Champions left for example who def stand out in my opinion as bigger names than the vast majority of picks left but I wouldn't be surprised if some of them drop even further before being picked.

Uncle Walt

Lord TSC: Dean Ambrose & Solomon Crowe, Umaga, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Rey Mysterio, The Great Muta, Jeff Jarrett, Lucha Dragons, Asuka

Wow Austin and Ambrose on the same roster has so so much money written all over it. really great mix of talent this year

Mr.Nice Guy: Finn Balor, Nick Bockwinkel & Ray Stevens, Edge , Stan Hansen, Ted Dibiase & IRS, Vader, Ryback & Curtis Axel, James Storm

Great great roster as usual MNG. I'm really interested who you choose to face Balor, as there is 4 completely different style guys he could face yet all would be equally as brilliant.

Bounty Hunter: Brock Lesnar, Killer Kowalski & Gorilla Monsoon, Daniel Bryan, Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard, Chris Benoit (Trade), Ken Shamrock & Steve Blackman, American Alpha

This is possibly the greatest BWA roster of all time in my opinion. Bryan/Lesnar/Benoit on the same roster is just too good to be true, and would probably be the only time in draft history it'll happen. Im scared to ignite the Monday Night War this year!

SlickRic: Samoa Joe, Misawa, HHH, Bam Bam Bigelow, the Road Warriors, Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards, Bruiser Brody, Magnum TA

My personal favourite roster this year, absolutely incredible talent with every pick. Wow i cant wait for the shows. Especially since you pretty much have 3 obvious Main Event level matches on your hands

A Brad Maddox Guy: Kazuchika Okada, Brian Pillman, Batista, RVD, Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega, The Miz, Damien Sandow & Titus O'Neil

Very very strong undercard on your roster, in fact probably the strongest midcard of anyone this year in my opinion. But still plenty of options for the Main Event, really liking this roster!

LeeJM: AJ Styles, Terry Gordy and Steve Williams, CM Punk, Sabu & Tazz, Matt Sydal and Riochet, James Mitchell, Diamond Dallas Page

Some great High flyers and stiff workers on this roster! AJ vs CM Punk is an incredible main event! Old school but modern feel to your roster too which i absolutely love

Beakerjoe: Chris Hero & Cesaro, Ric Flair, Shinuke Nakamura, Young Bucks, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch, Kerry Von Erich (Texas Tornado), Ethan Carter III

Really great mix of talent on this roster! i think theres 4 possible guys who could face Flair in the main event and each on of em is both original and exciting in my opinion! Really looking forward to seeing how these shows play out!

Thebostoncrab: Kurt Angle, Rick Rude, Kenta & Kenta Kobashi, Bully Ray, Scott Steiner, Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows, Low Ki and THE Brian Kendrick, Bobby Roode

Wow this is such an amazing roster. So so many possibilities. Angle/Kobashi is mouth watering, as would Angle/Rude or hell Angle vs KENTA! Absolutely a top contender this year

PTH2009: Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn, Big Bossman, Sheamus, Rocco Rock & Johnny Grunge, Rhyno, JBL, Neville, Bobby Lashley

Wow there's some seriously impressive stiff workers on this roster for sure! I really like this one, Owens vs anyone would have my interest. Looking forward to these shows.

Paulie21: John Cena, Lou Thesz, Mick Foley, Mr Kennedy, Honkey Tonk Man & Greg Valentine, Kevin Nash aka Diesel, Sgt. Slaughter

Some great picks made with this roster. Cena vs Foley is a VERY interesting match up if thats the road you go down and one i would personally love to see. Great roster

BrianRegan09: Hiroshi Tanahashi, Mr Perfect, Goldberg, Raven & Perry Saturn, Paul Heyman, Christopher Daniels & Frank Kazarian (Suicide), Apollo Crews

Great roster, good mix of talent, Some big draws from the 90s and some IWC loved wrestlers from recently with Paul Heyman being the ace in the hole. Looking forward to seeing these shows and how you book these guys and who you choose to be the main event.

JP Liz: Roman Reigns, Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith, Dolph Ziggler, Christian, Tyson Kidd & David Hart Smith, Drew Galloway and Wade Barrett, Nigel McGuinness

Very nice roster here Liz, Reigns against any of these guys could be really interesting! Especially vs Owen... British/Canadian Stampede Wrestling vibe for sure, which is really cool.

Cheese Wagstaff: Seth Rollins, Sean O' Haire, Ricky Dragon Steamboat, Shelton Benjamin & MVP, Mercury & Morrison, Jay Lethal & Xavier Woods, Mark Henry

Really Good mix of talent here! Steamboat and Rollins is absolutely mouthwatering, with a great undercard to boot. Really liking this one

Shagnastii: Sting, Ultimate Warrior, Hulk Hogan, Vince McMahon, Jesse Ventura, Demolition (Ax & Smash), Santino & Carlito

Greeeeat roster! Some real life issues with a lot of these guys and Vince obviously as well, late 80s vibe which i love. This is definitely a serious contender roster!

Stereomaniac: Kofi Kingston & Big E, Yokozuna, Bret Hart, The Big Show, Iron shiek, Charlotte, Strong-Will Wrestling Group

Good mix of characters here for sure! Yoko vs Big Show is actually a match I'd love to see! Especially when Big Show was the Giant and in his prime, Bret Hart brings real legitimacy to the roster as well..

Mrkiscool: The Undertaker, Fabulous Moolah, Jake The Snake Roberts, Sandman, Trish Stratus and Lita, Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish, The Vaudevillains

An unusual but very interesting mix, Taker vs Jake has money written all over it. as does either Lita or Trish vs Moolah. I like this roster!

ImnottheHulk: Bray Wyatt, Dusty Rhodes, Booker T (trade), Dan Spivey (chosen as part of a tag team), Goldust & Stardust, Eric Rowan and Luke Harper, The Acsension : Konnor and Viktor, Nikitta Koloff

The Wyatts and the Rhodes all on the same roster! Thats absolute genius and something i can believe I've never even considered! looking forward to seeing how you book the Ascension and whom you'll have them face.

DM_7: Randy Orton, Eddie Guerrero, Roddy Piper (trade), Alberto Del Rio, Mark & Jay the Briscoes, Austin Aries, Shane McMahon, Rusev

Wow amazing roster with some incredible trading done! 6 possible main event level wrestlers and Shano Mac throw in for good measure!I'm excited to see where you go with what will be very well written shows

Necrominus: Kane, Scott Hall, The Rock, Jeff Hardy, New Age Outlaws, Muhammad Hassan, Test & Albert

What an amazing Attitude Era roster with perhaps the greatest "couldve been something" heel of all time thrown in for good measure, endless booking possibilities with this roster!
