Hope I didn't screw you over Necro... happy to get my pick in before sleep and happy to have gotten those two lads which added to HBK gives me a nice solid base for this year

It was a toss up between them and Cole/Kyle for me; the fact I had them last year made me swerve, but would have been picking in R3 if they were still available!

Sorry bud, I actually thought you'd take them this round so allowed myself a silent "yahoo" when you PMed me your query :pac:

Nice picking by Liz, mighty fine combo of Rock/Owen/Balor there - there's actually a ridiculous amount of top class picks left it's insane even after two rounds.

brianregan09

Got my pick I wanted again just about , so happy to have the Cleaner for the 2nd year in a row

thebostoncrab

Accidentally posted the Ric Flair post a second time! Delighted to get Tully and Arn, two men that have been high on my list every year but I never get to draft. Very excited with the plans I have for them this year.

Necro

I'd say BH is tucked up in bed so that might be it draft wise till the morning given the time difference

They go hand in hand with Flair, though last year I opted not to draft them last year and create the Undisputed Horsemen. Faultless tag team.

God I miss Flair already.

Page and Omega going saddens me but I never had a chance of getting them this round. Both should have went earlier IMO (1 and 2 this round rather than 2 and 3). Both are the present and future of wrestling main events. Page is one of my favs lately and hes destined for the top. Great picks.

Once I got Stone Cold I was desperate to get Page, had I received a bad draw in round 3 I would have no chance as you point out. Though I'm glad I got some respite given DIY and Owen Hart fell from my grasp so late on in Round 2. I've got some crazy stuff in mind for the two of them.

A deceptively difficult round, a lot of wrestlers will move onto round 4 criminally.

I see no connection between Austin and Page... none what so ever. So many people assuming they have something in common just angers me, it would drive a man to drink.

Hoping Omega would last was always a long shot, some really great rosters taking shape!

Time to rejig somethings on my end!

The White Wolf

Ballsy call from Bounty there....a man with a definite plan.:D

I’m sure there were a few people who had him in mind, he was one of only 2/3 I was considering when I saw my early draw for this round but I’m very happy to get Vince again. He made my roster so much more appealing to write for last year and means I can have story continuity if I choose despite 3 new wrestlers already at the top of my card.

beakerjoe

Not my first choice but Vince was on my list this round.

How can you not want to book Vinnie Mac

There'll be no continuity from 2DW, we've moved territory.

ShagNastii

I’ve had Vince a couple of years. Easily the most writable character in wrestling history.

Always a killer pick.

Mr. Guappa

Pick made and PM sent.

Things coming together nicely now. I had the rough outline of an idea, but struggled to find the right wrestler to make it work. Then I hit upon Darby Allin and he's perfect for what I have in mind. Maybe I could have waited a round on him, but I didn't want to take the chance.

wrestlemaniac

Great pick Guappa. He was on my list for a potential storyline

Necro

Torn between two picks currently. Hoping one is taken off the table for me...

*Waits for both to be taken*

:pac:

Uncle Walt

Was torn between 3 and the biggest name prevailed

Necro

Considered Sting, but wasn't in the top two choices I have in my mind presently... which means...

Woo hoo I'll get one anyways!!

Sting was my third choice this round. Loads available but with me being last I have to lower my expectations of who can last until then.
