    That was a hard choice.

    A few picks I wanted, then some I had no intention of drafting despite the big names but were almost too good to turn down.

    I wanted Cody though, as a chaarcter hes flexible and hes doing fantasticly well outside of WWE.

    His Brothers a nice bonus though.

    Cody with Goldie is a great double pick, I wonder would WWE try to get Cody back given how well he is doing, he had huge potential but they never seem to let him rise

    I'm 95% sure Batista hasn't been picked yet

    You are correct. I was hoping he might slip through to me in round 4 :( He had one match under the WWECW umbrella which would have qualified him :pac:

    Pick made and PM sent!

    Couldn't resist when I spotted he was free. Fits into the idea I've got for the HHH/Omega story so well.

    Batista was one who I really considered.

    A great underrated pick.

    I really wanted to pick him but thought he might not suit my roster in the end.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 51,167 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Seriously considered Batista but I had him last year and wanted to try and pick a new guy. Punk and Austin are two I've never had so they were top of my list this round.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,712 ✭✭✭Mr. Guappa


    I was torn between Batista and Savage for my pick. Like Necro I had spotted him as a sneaky one if he got to the ECW round.


  • Registered Users Posts: 87 ✭✭Ruat Caelum


    Batista is a great pick.

    Don't want to be a d*CK....but...are Curt Hennig and Scot Hall still eligible as a tag team with tag teams limited to the promotions their limited to? I think they only regularly tagged in the AWA? They are a great pick.

    It's interesting as I had to look that up. AWA forged an alliance with NWA aligned promotions around the period that they were teaming. (it was in response to the massive expansion by WWF) to become known as Pro Wrestling USA and from what I can see it qualifies them.

    Cheers! I'll have to look at that alliance now!(see if there are any other nice picks)


    Looking forward to watching the ECW wweecw picks.... Don't think I have any huge preferences in it....


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,162 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    I only have one person in mind for next round so I expect that will go wrong for me :pac:


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,670 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    Actually thought Owens might have got snapped up in the non American round so not surprised to see him taken now. The pick I passed up last time is still available but it’s a long wait from first to 2nd last especially with a limiting stip in play. Can’t plan this pick, definitely a wait and see what is available one.

    A big chunk of my options options are after being taken so I'll have to wait til I get home from work to see who I have left on my list. I can think of two remaining but I'm certain I'm forgetting some

    Theres a good bit left when it comes to main event tier talent. Plenty might last until round 5 too with the stip in place.

    Blargh that's a great pick MNG. I probably would have taken Foley myself had he fallen to me. Must be one of the latest rounds he's been drafted in, very diverse character. Would be a lot of fun to write for in multiple scenarios I'd imagine.

    Was Drew on ECW?

    He featured in 2 Dark Matches for the brand, and I seeked clarity before picking.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,162 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    Fair play, would not have looked at that angle for someone. Appears like a great year to have him.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 51,167 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Pick up and PM sent to DM.

    Was torn between two for this pick, but I think RVD suits my plans slightly better.

    That is one hard hitting, ass-kicking roster Slick is assembling. I love it!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,162 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    Pick done, PM sent.

    I am picking so far with no plan at all yet find myself picking along the same ideas I always have.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 51,167 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Alfie I got your PM but can't reply as your inbox is full. Pick is perfectly fine though!
