    The NWO is a great one. The credibility of your world title scene (with Hogan) and the tag team division (with The Outsiders) is through the roof.

    Stables are a tough one. Everybody loves them but with the draft you sort of have to go all in with them. They basically make or break your fed.

    With only 10 people eligible to draft the Dudleys they weren't getting past the first. BH did Nash take my title with him


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,986 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Blargh. Wanted Nash or the Dudleyz :(

    Pick made and PM sent to Shagnasti. Delighted to get Chris Hero in Rd5. I still have my plan but some guys may have shifted roles. Loving this draft so far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,492 ✭✭✭thebostoncrab


    ****e, Hero was my top pick. Still some excellent names left mind you!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,469 ✭✭✭LeeJM


    Sorry TBC think that is the second time I have taken the guy you had wanted.

    Great minds! I have two NXT names in mind that cannot be drafted until the US names pass, but also two US NXT names ready to go also that I don't expect to make it past this section.

    Have two acts I can't pass up this time round. Just curious to see if they last to me.

    So I had no chance in getting Hero. Screw you Lee, he was the only person I wanted this round..... I literally gambled on him going later and choose Arn n Tully over him last round as BH can attest to. I have otther options, but I wanted my IC champ back


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,038 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Theres actually plenty of great NXT picks who cant be touched until then... curious to see who TBC is thinking about


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,038 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    I had a small idea for Papa Shango..... I just realise He is also gone.... wasnt expecting him to go this round at all. Damn


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,515 ✭✭✭ShagNastii


    Crap :( Didn't expect to see the Nation assemble this early. I had my big mid card feud pencilled for them. Gonna stick with the pick I had planned.

    Sorry Campo.

    I was thinking of leaving them for a while but they way the draft is going got to grab your picks while you can and Oh don't worry I tend to bring new members into stables


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,038 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    EDIT : Nope

    Sorry Joe. Hero is somebody I initially wasnt gonna go for but I decided to shuffle my pack slightly and then with the history Hero has with ZSJ he was just too good to pass up


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,038 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Tis my own fault for gambling..... but Ive a back up or 2 who I can draft this round or the next


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,369 ✭✭✭campo


    DAMN!!! Farooq is gone as expected, I was very close to picking him but I wanted Lashley as leader of the NOD plus I need to beef up my roster so went with a team who I can use as a tag and single

    Torn

    I want a few of the NXT people I expect to be picked now. Don't know who I want or need most. Three stand outs, might be best to go with the one I never selected before........

    EDIT: Crap, four stand outs, torn again

    I hear ya, I've too many NXT names to choose from so I hope of if yanks is taken by MNG and that you take one of the others!

    Most of the NXT names I have (I listed them all before the stip to make sure there was enough) At least 6 should of went already and theres plenty available who some might not realise via one off matches, so research is your friend here.

    Same goes for the TNA/ROH end of the round, lots to choose from, Im very happy with how this went


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    I'll have my pick up shortly.
    It's an American


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,038 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    MNG redrafts Rey Rey, hes someone who I researched today and was so down he never once appeared in ROH since leaving WWE. Doesnt matter now anyway..... whats he got planned I wonder

    IMO one of, if not THE best wrestler ever. The man doesnt do bad matches and can wrestle any style against anyone and have a 4 star match at least.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Pick made and PM sent. Getting an early 2000s Smackdown vibe off my roster. Dunno if it's just me.

    Definitely getting that feel. And I love it. 2 of the best babyfaces ever in Rey and Steamboat. Team Angle I am guessing will be your lead heels. And American Alpha just being awesome. I love your roster so far MNG :D

    Id say Gable would make a great heel. Him v Angle would be awesome
