Have my post ready to go (as long as Red doesnt steal my pick) so if you want to hang round Red, you could make your 2nd pick soon after also.

I reckon they could for some sort of faction, a club if you will.

Oooh... I also like Furious Red's roster.

I like them all in fact. Stips have really given everyone top level talent to pick from.

I generally get sold on possible storylines when I see the rosters but this year it looks like it could be the actual matches that win me over.

Every PPV match event has buckets of potential.

I've genuinely no idea who I'm going to pick next. I've a list of over 50 eligible picks typed up and I'm not even kidding I would happily take half of them in this round. I reckon Lee could take 23 hours & 59 mins to get his pick in & I'd still be trying to decide :pac:

Essentially this is going to my inner monologue

Delighted to pick up Ospreay who is IMO one of the best wrestlers in the world today and has Chaos links to my previous picks.

He was very high up my list for this round, intriguing roster that you're building.

I thought Zayn and Ambrose were already gone must be as their past tag partners were early picks

Has Ziggler in mind this round too, some great picks so far

That is a special group you put together so far.

Yourself and Walt might be after the same people.

Sorry Paulie, I might have some bad news on Rusev Day, I am not sure they are a valid tag team.

From rules:

- Must have tagged together for at least 3 months (if in doubt, ask myself or BH)
- Members of factions, ie Saturn and Malenko, are not deemed valid picks as they are not classed as legit tag teams under the criteria for the game

I have no qualms dropping Barrett but without getting into a big debate over it wouldn’t that rule make picking 2 out of 3 from the New Day or Freebirds ineligible too?

Good question. It would be good if this was allowed.

I figure 2 of the 3 in your examples have tagged enough/a lot in 2 on 2 matches.

I don't think Rusev and Wade tagged together much, if ever in 2 on 2 bouts.

Interested in a rule/explanation on this stable one.

I would suspect the fact that all 3 members of New Day have team with each other on and off for the last 3-4 yrs, they would be acceptable? Dont think the same could be said for LoN..

*insert crap bad news joke here* I think you are out of luck on this one.

Like myself I had queried with Beaker about bagging Tyler Bate & Pete Dunne as a duo in round 3 and brought up the same argument of the Freebirds and The New Day (had a feeling I could let Trent Seven go a few rounds).

To be fair it was a black and white response "give hard evidence that they have tagged exclusively as a duo of three months or more and you're good". I had 3-on-3s, handicap matches coming out my ears for the guys but they never really tagged together.

It's easy to see why the Freebirds, Demolition, New Day or classed as tag teams.

I'd nearly always say it was Kofi/Big E with Woods in tow but Woods has had countless matches pairing with either Big E or Kofi.

Pick up and PM sent. Possibly could have left AOP for another round but it's a case of picking for my plans as opposed to picking for the name value. Andre was first choice so decided to move on my list of really wants.

AOP were a lot of fun to book last year so I look forward to seeing what your plans are for them and Braun.

Not sure what I am at this year.

Alberto was one of four wirld champs I had on my list in the last round. Picked Naito and other three were still available to me this time.

Went for Alberto as he has a great gimmick but not because of a plan.

Playing a WW game with Beaker, LTSC, Necro and others in the draft at the same time has meant I am surprised to actually be okay with my roster, usually I'd be thinking about everything 3 times more than this at this point in the game.

No, Big E regularly defended the title too. The three freebirded it constantly. Even without the title, the three have regularly had different combos of 2 vs 2 matches together as well dating back years.

Good stip!

Jaysus, I really was getting good draws in R1-4! Stip is interesting too!

DM_7

Nooooooooooo!

That stip means I can't pick who I need to pick and means who I need to pick will likely be gone because of the stip (if not gone this round)

Ah well. Just have to do something else.


It is a good stip by the way. Things are just falling bad for me this year.

I was very close to picking Vader. Only reason I didn't is because I seem to pick him most years and wanted a change. Can't go wrong with him.

You ahead of me had me worried. There's some very good avenues to go down with him

My pick this round came down to a toss up between Ziggler & Mysterio. The temptation to bring an Eddie-Mysterio element into my main feud was very tempting, and with picks running out in this round and I believe him not being eligible in the next I was wondering if the opportunity might present itself again.
