PW Boards Draft XII - Discussion Thread

Bounty Hunter

Great timing, was about to post and say I might not be able to pick until tomorrow then boom Al picks Yoko and I'm up.

PM sent, Happy to welcome back Ali

Necro

Round 15 order up folks. Hope the stip is ok

Mr.Nice Guy

I've got a whacky storyline in mind for someone which I thought about a few rounds back and it's giving me a lot of fun to think about. I may pull the trigger on it tonight if my turn gets to me.

Colour me intrigued

I have 95% of my plans in place at this point, just trying to fill in the last few pieces. Have a good bit of my preview show written now, just have to make it all fit together now.

That pick more or less rounds out my currently planned card. There's loads of names I would've preferred to take (Tazz being a prime example) but couldn't risk leaving the Natalya spot blank this late on.

Surprised he got to me tbh. I wanted Henry and Tazz but took a chance Tazz might last longer. Glad it worked out

Same though, it's specific slots for me as opposed to name value now.

Is Round 15 the final round?

Nope

There's a super duper bonus Round 16 as well.

daithi1989

Had them 2 on my list for along time, and when the World Champ rule was done away with, dropped them to draft Dolph and Del Rio. Don't think I would have taken R Truth had I known I'd have got them in, but I'm sure I'll find something for him to do!

Necro

Toyed with redrafting Enzo myself. Suits your roster much better this year though daithi.

I had Nattie in mind earlier and would have taken her next round, surprised the amount of top talent still available and also the speed of picks

Necro you're doing a hell of a job

ShagNastii

Enzo and Cass have fallen off the planet but in terms of value for money their characters are gold. Enzo and his mouth just screams writable.

Shagnastii: “MNG, how difficult will it be to draw heat from Brexit?.”

MNG: “It’s gonna be eeeeeee-aaaaayyyy, eeeeeeeeaaaaayyy, eeeeeee-aaaaaayyyy!!!!!”.

Necro

Yeah we fairly steamed through round 14 between this afternoon and tonight alright. 14 rounds done by the 5th Feb - :eek:

Jaysus that was fast, wasn’t expecting that. Will definitely have to start trying to write something when I get back from my CNY break (traveling tomorrow after one last day with the in-laws) now.

Thought the pick for someone else round might not make an appearance this year but happy to see it make a return as there really are plenty of talent still available. That said unless LTSC goes for the obvious missing piece to my roster that I had planned to fill this round anyway I doubt I’ll have a match for whomever I get as my match plans are fairly set. Obviously plenty who are connected to roster members who could be helpful for storylines though.

Will have to check through Al’s roster later (think it’s him I’m picking for) but will probably be picking either another big character from the era most of his are from or as above someone connected to one he already has. His roster at least has a definite feel to it which gives me something to work off.

I think you have it backwards there BH, you pick for Lord, and Alf picks for you. I think?

Necro

Night sticks and flak-jackets ahoy!

Hope Ruat is happy with my pick for him, was torn between Honky Tonk and one other but felt he suited Ruat's roster with the other two musical boyos on it

Aye, Mr. G has it right. BH you select for Lordie and Alfred selects for your roster then

I had been debating with myself over HTM for a while, kinda glad it was taken out of my hands and delighted to have him!

Had wanted BBM too but couldn't quite fit him in. He's a great pick, and always thought him and Bull Buchanan made a decent team.

Ahh, I should really know better, had already decided on who to give Al too ha

Cheers

Considered HTM myself due to his connections with Lawler but honestly happy someone else ruled that option out, plus gifting him to a roster with Elias & double J just makes so much sense.

SlickRic

i hope Necro is happy enough.

I wanted to get someone that he might actually be able to use, even if it's for something silly.

Necro

Will suit my plans nicely actually

Mr. Guappa

Glad to see Ishii go. Had him last year and really enjoyed him but want to try and use new guys this year. I knew bugger all about him before I drafted and I was really impressed once I became more familiar with him.

Learned so much about different wrestlers because of the draft throughout the years. One of the best things about it imo


So LTSC, what do you say. do you want a wrestler / tag team connected to your roster that you should have no issues fitting into a storyline (have one of each in mind) or do you want the potentially more impressive / fun

?

I've been watching the draft this year, all the rosters are fantastic!!

A Brad Maddox Guy

Hopefully Daithi is happy with the addition of Rikishi. I had a few female wrestlers that I felt would fit but figured Rikishi on the same roster as his sons was much better value at this stage.

Had him on my list with 2 others for the next round, so now that list is down to two!

Dance Break!!!

Necro

:pac: Ric's roster are going to beat each other to death possibly literally.

daithi's is going to have a mass dance off.

I love the variations of rosters that appear in the draft

Lord TSC

Fun, Bounty! Always fun :P

I've my pick decided, I'm just working out who to pick for The Brad Maddox Guy.

I mean, there's the super lazy pick for THE BRAD MADDOX GUY, but I'm fairly certain I actually picked him before in this exact same circumstance, so want to do something more original :P

Lord TSC

And done.

Hope you like him, Maddox. I tried to pick someone who suited your roster, and with the ROH vibe, and the technical wrestling vibe, felt he would be a solid pick to flesh out your roster a bit.
