Ok pick up and PM sent. Hope I read the rules for this round correctly!

Think they are alright with the amount of 8 on 1 and 5on 1 tag team matches they had together as part of the nexus during their run both on the main roster and in FCW/NXT.

Meanwhile I got two Japanese legends in one go with Giant Baba & Jumbo Tsuruta which I am pretty pleased with at this stage in the game. m sent to the birthday crab too

Quakenbush is a great pick. He can be used in a variety of ways from a performer to a GM and jigsaw coming with him just sweetens the deal

Great celeb pick in Stiller, I wonder beakerjoe use him as Zoolander

I wanna see him used as Tony Wonder! (SAME):cool:

beakerjoe

I love Tony Wonder, one of my fav cameos in AD. But I think I may use him as plain old ben.stiller.

well maybe an exaggerated verison of himself like in Extras

bulk of ppv 1 wrote up.

creative will meet again very soon to complete PPVs 2 and 3. :D

LeeJM

Some cracking picks recently. To pick up Strikeforce, British Invasion, The Rock n Roll Express or Jumbo & Baba in Rd 14 is brilliant.

AWH I was hoping to read him as the general manager from dodgeball

Quick question before I pick. As regards the fourth rule-bending option:

If a tag team is only not eligible because of the "stable rule" you may pick them in this round.

My interpretation of this is that if two guys were in a stable, but not necessarily tagging together exclusively, that they are eligible this round.

Is that the way others are seeing this?

beakerjoe

Yes thats the way id see it. Considering its late in round 14, I dont think youll have many objections anyway considering the stip

Mr.Nice Guy

Well as long as I'm not the only one seeing it that way. I'll pick shortly.

That's my understanding anyways. I drafted two Nexus members that never tagged together outside of the 5 on 1 matches for example.

Thats it.

I think that stip and ones like it are something to consider for an earlier round next year. Some of the Stable picks that could be made are far more qualified as a team than some of the tag teams that get through!


EDIT: Nice pick BTW.

Another great pick by MNG. Homicide is somebody I have considered drafting since the early rounds but just havnt found the right spot for him. Picking him up along with K-Dogg is great value. LAX are one of TNAs bigger success stories so looking forward to see what MNG has planned for them.

Im torn on who to take. I have a few ideas and its with a specific role in mind and I think Ill just make a snap decision when my time comes. I will say though my last pick will be a female to play Jerry Lawlers gf/valet.

ShagNastii

Pick made and PM sent to DM.

Some brilliant picks being made this round with great use of the stable rule or lack there of. The FBI, NXT and LAX are really smart drafts. Really thinking outside the box when it seems every wrestler ever has been drafted.


Would have loved to padded out my roster a tad bit more with in-ring talent. With my lack of Tag team picks it is fairly barebones in terms of numbers but I had to make the pick it did.

Happy to finally bag a female and especially one (with decent value) that will tie in beautifully with what I have planned for Val/Santino.

Haven't put much love or time into this over the last week, due to work commitments. But sitting down this morning to actually write out the plot points for the rest of the shows I have.

Any thoughts of a deadline BH? So we can add two weeks onto it and know when we have to have everything written by :P

Was planning on putting up a deadline when we finished drafting but I guess it's better to do it earlier as with us now entering the final round we have also entered the final big slowdown in picks I reckon.

It usually gets extended but still try to plan for finishing within the first deadline as you never know how busy you could get at the last moment if you leave it till then. with that in mind I will say...

Deadline for submissions: Wed 23rd of March

I'll send you a pm with a load of thus far unpicked names although there are far more names than just those and remember you dont have to pick two if you dont think you need to (but the BOGOF will even things up more for those with poorer draws and help fill out storylines with Valets managers etc if needed).

brianregan09

Can someone pm slickric for me thanks for the pms too guys

thebostoncrab

Jerry Lynn is a huge steal to get this late into the game, quality worker

paulie21

Hey BH, could you pm a list of available names please?

On this be careful folks although the more recent pms I sent had a more comprehensive list a few people are working off the same info now but there are still plenty more not listed in those pms and some I'm really surprised are still unpicked ATM

Kankan14

I did a list of ratings for everyones pick after rd10 and there was 0.25 between the top 2 and bottom 2 were level.

Really interested to see if much changed with the later picks as I have'nt seen the last few rounds of picks yet. Hurry up and finish yer picks mofo's :-)

Mr.Nice Guy

Just completed my week two show. Here it is in the one post for convenience (there are links to my previous shows in this post too):

Monday Night Grappling - Week 2 Show (With friends like these...)

It has some surprises in it. I also made a reference to a storyline from tbc's show last year though I tried to do it respectfully.

Feedback welcome. I will try to give feedback on the posts I've missed tomorrow. For now, sleep.

Use them as an interviewer or commentator something like that.

Pick made and PM sent to Paulie. Delighted to get Tajiri and Mikey Whipwreck in the penultimate round. Have a fun little plan for them

Feedback:

Stereomaniac -

I thought Iron Sheik was the star of your opening episode. I was impressed with how you captured his character so well and I can see him being one of the most memorable personalities this year. I also liked how you booked the finish with Show winning as it sets up an intriguing story as we wonder what's next for Bret.

Cheese Wagstaff -

You set up the preview really nicely and left me eager to read more. I like that 'Serial Sellout' moniker for Rollins and I'm looking forward to seeing how you use him. Also good to see you giving a big focus to a classic star in Buddy Rogers. Steamboat should be great as a babyface and you've given him a great sympathetic hook with him returning gunning for the title he never technically lost.

A Brad Maddox Guy -

No more fitting boss for your show than Brad Maddox! Pillman is such a great character and you used him great here and captured how he can say and do anything. The tournament was well done and highlighted the strength of your roster. The Okada/Ibushi match was especially enjoyable, I thought. I loved the way you handled the ending too. I couldn't believe it when I saw the Miz make his appearance and I loved discovering it was actually Batista's moment. It should be great hearing Miz's reaction to this next time. Also the final moments with the attack made for a great cliffhanger and leaves me eager for the next episode.

paulie21 -

I enjoyed the tournament and in particular the way you handled Steve Blackman. His interaction with Funk and Foley leaves me wondering whether they will fight at some point? You have great hardcore match options with those guys. The ending was a big surprise with Rock getting assaulted by Rikishi and The Usos. I look forward to hearing Rikishi's explanation and it's fun to see The Usos in a heel role.

SlickRic -

You started off with a bang with Mayweather taking control of the company. I love that you paired Sapp with him; that should be a great combo. Triple H is ideal for the role you've given him and Misawa already comes across as a sympathetic good guy. I was particularly interested in Brody as I'm a fan of his and the fact that even Mayweather is wary of him puts him over big straight away. I'm keen to find out what it is he's after. You did a great job getting over many of your names and I look forward to hearing about the others. I really liked the style of writing here too; there was personality and an edgy vibe to it, I felt. Looking forward to reading more.

Very interesting to see Paul Bearer go to a roster that does not have the Undertaker or Kane on it.

still to go in Rd 14
