Rigged. The system is against me.

Yeah if you had been before me in the pick order I'd have been worried alright crabman, as it was I breathed a sigh of relief when MNG went for Big Poppa Pump as he had taken Misawa before (hence me mentioning he is a former MNG champion in my draft pick post.

I think your right about me and the tag limit too, although rd7 is particularly early for 5 tag picks! Will be interesting now to see who I go for in the future as there are so many wrestlers I always associate with potential partners as I love me some value tag picks. Will they seem as appealing alone?

I actually only have 1 name left on my wanted list anyway and that is a celeb so (available for a while and) not worrying too much about who my picks from now on, which is a very odd feeling after drawing no.1 in a no stip round when apparently the following round will be more restrictive.

beakerjoe

Just out on a scoot with the wee one, will have a pick up in an hour

beakerjoe

Pick made, PM sent

I had some hard decisions this round. So many people I want, so little chance of getting them next round.

Aye there's one I want who I don't think will last beyond the end of the round, but I need to play it safe and pick someone else I need in order to form an idea I have.

JBL is a great pick at this stage, completely forgot about him

Cheers Liz, I think JBL fits in well with my roster so far. Really liked the rich snooty character he played at the time, a fab transformation that put him right into the main event

The White Wolf

JBL crossed my mind alright as a possible authority figure but I have someone else in mind if they can last a few rounds.

Pick made and Pm sent.

Delighted to get Muta now. A huge name that I can go a number of different ways with

You have given me a headache there for reasons I will not divulge. :P

Had him on my list alright - didnt think he would last when I saw the draw, so had resigned myself to losing out!
Only one name left on my list, so might need to draw up more names tomorrow or Monday!

A Brad Maddox Guy

Was very tempted to take JBL this round, loved/hated him as a young fella and had an idea but it needed another pick to work and I wasn't confident of getting it. Big fan of that Mutoh pick too

brianregan09

Ahh was going to pick JBL too but very happy with my 2nd choice

JJ is a great pick, thought I could take him with Owen Hart earlier but forgot he was TNA world champ

brianregan09

and WCW Champion

The “relaxed” rule on world champ helped with this stop and pick for sure. Loved booking Necro all those years ago, and the possibilities that Brodie brings with The Dark Order just was too exciting to turn down.

Four stables so far, now I have to ask myself when do I stop?

beakerjoe

Cant believe Brodie Lee lasted this round.

Like the hypocrite I am, I considered drafting him this round. But declined against it because A the increase in top tier women being drafted meant Bayley wouldn't last much longers and B Aleister Black fits my story better.

brianregan09

Was Brodie Lee not left out of this draft at the very start considering what happened I@m nearly sure someone said that at the very start

I suggested it but others felt it would be a nice why to pay tribute. After some thought I agreed and IIRC Necro allowed him to stay in.

brianregan09

Ahh Okay fair enough so

Its the right call IMO. I still cant believe hes gone and I personally would find it hard, or so I thought initially. But its a fitting why to pay homage to the Big Rig

Glad I could help :P

Always thought about drafting Necro Butcher but thought it seemed a bit weird describing my own Boards name in a match :pac:

I thought Brodie was agreed to be off limits but I'm grand about it anyway, wanted to draft him along with Rowan. There's no harm.

I mean as long as the writing is tasteful it's just like drafting Owen, Pillman, Eddie et al.

Now Benoit on the other hand. :pac: this is my first year doing the draft so I assume that's a big no no.

Benoit was selected last year anyway.

Hes not.

3 years ago I drafted him and he always gets drafted.

I pushed the envelope with how I wrote him. I tried to imagine a reality where he went to prison for his crimes, with a desperate Paul Heyman signing him up to headline a PPV against his sons mentor, Bret Hart

He's been booked before, most years actually. Beaker had him two years ago I think.

It's a controversial pick surely but certainly allowed. For me drafting Benoit sort of overshadows the whole roster, you've got that kind of... darkness contained within so it wouldn't be for me.

But others have drafted him and handled it very well, so it's all down to personal choice imo.

Uncle Walt

I’d love to draft Benoit and he’s been picked a lot in the past, just incredibly hard to write for him without it being in bad taste
