    Whilst Walt pops the champagne after a top year of drafting, we move onto our second big category. Some say this is the one most want to win...

    BEST WRITE-UPS


    And so to the write-ups, last year beakerjoe claimed this prize, will lightning strike twice?

    This one was an epic contest... let's show our rankings from 10 to 6 first however

    Top choice by a good margin in my votes any who, puts you in with a shot overall as your graphics alone probably netted you some write up /overall votes

    And so to our top 5. This was absolutely insanely close this year, as the following scores will show. It went back and forth and round the house with each player leading at one point until the last few sets of votes finally saw the winner start to emerge….

    In FIFTH Place, with a phenomenal score of 125 points…



    BOUNTY HUNTER!!



    Just insane to think that BH’s shows finished 5th, really does show the quality this year. And really, it was so close to being higher…

    Because....

    In FOURTH Place with 126 points



    MR GUAPPA!!!


    One point separates BH and Mr G – I know everyone spoke of it being tough this year to pick a winner and I can only agree, I spent ages agonizing over my own votes for this category.

    And it doesn’t get any closer for Mr G to being on the podium… because…

    In THIRD Place with 127 points


    MR.NICE GUY!!!!


    The 5 time champion wins a squeaky bum time three way dance to get his fingertips just slightly ahead and onto the podium for this year. Absolutely nothing separating the three really and huge credit to them all, but congrats to MNG for a podium finish.

    Speaking of podiums, we need to have a winner

    So will beaker retain his crown or is it going to the host with the most, yours truly??

    Which of course means that our winner is…

    With 140 points



    BEAKERJOE!!!


    I mean it showed in the Slammies. Moxley, WALTER, Jake Roberts, Cena, Bayley and even the comedy bits. A deserving winner absolutely. Congrats Joe, that was a tough old battle this year to retain the write up crown and you rose to the challenge and emerged as the victor.



    Usually a good indicator of where the overall title goes as well… but not always as Bounty Hunter, the defending champion proved last year…


    I have to run out for an hour now but will post the overall category when I get back. Congrats to the winners so far.

    Yeah, same. I really enjoyed his write ups and had him ranked 6th.

    Congrats on your own write-up victory beaker. Richly deserved with so many expertly written feuds and characters.

    Happy out to take 4th as well myself... just glad people enjoyed reading it. I had a blast with the writing once I got stuck in.

    Really happy to win and flattered.

    Necro got ne back into it last year and set the fire in me again. So without him, I wouldnt be playing.

    But my write up is nothing on its own, the standard of the top 5 really pushed me to try make my ideas work. My top 4 votes between MNG, Mr G Necro and BH was hard to call. Well done guys

    Think he would have without the bonus votes.

    Just picking up my wife and kids at the moment, my mother had them out hill walking and hurt her ankle so Mountain Rescue was called.

    Dad off to hospital with her and no lift home for the others so will resume shortly.

    No more than an hour I'd say.

    Very deserving winners in the main categories so far and I think (could be mistaken) I voted both Walt & Joe respectively no.1 in each one. That leaves me with a 3rd place and a 5th place finish thus far (although the 5th was rediculously close to 4th and 3rd) so it's looking like the respectable finish I was hoping for back all those months ago which would also allow the champ to go out on his back. A la the Undertaker there may always be one last ride in me but I came very close to not entering this year but I am very happy I did and in particular would like to thank one man.

    Cheers Bounty :D

    Ok I'm back and let's get the main event kick started

    BEST OVERALL


    So the question was asked a bit earlier about what the difference for the Best Overall was against Best Write-Ups.

    For me, the difference is that you might absolutely love someone’s roster, but prefer other write-ups. This is where you can combine your love for a roster and a write-up, if you wish.

    Sometimes it shows in the voting where we have Uncle Walt winning the Best Roster, and Beakerjoe winning Best Write-Ups…


    Will that be the case here? Let’s find out…

    A fabulous effort from Mr G as always, solid roster and excellent write ups. And hopefully he won’t feel too downhearted… especially when he sees the next scores…
    The GWA is always competitive and this year is no different.

    It won’t be two in a row unfortunately for the defending champion.

    You know it’s been a brilliant year for the contest when Bounty finishes outside the podium places.

    A top class roster and an epic card, all whilst trying to juggle a young baby and in a different timezone, well done BH.

    And so to our podium places. We already know there will be a different name etched on the trophy this year with Bounty finishing fourth… but.. will it be a new name entirely… or will a dynasty be reborn? Let’s find out…

    Third place overall, wowsers. I’m absolutely delighted to be on the podium for each of the big awards. The competition was so fierce this year and I genuinely expected to finish outside the top three. Thanks for the votes folks, it's nice to have the work appreciated :D

    So nope, we’re going to see a dynasty reborn here, no new name on the trophy.

    Question is… will it be Mr.Nice Guy collecting 6 – count em – SIX – PW Draft victories….

    OR



    Will beakerjoe become only the second person to EVER win three PW Drafts….

    Congrats to the new champ – a big score pulled in here with 137 points the winning score…



    It’s hard luck to MNG again, having to settle for second place two years running now unfortunately.


    Again though, an incredibly impressive score, only 3 points in it in the end. 134 points to the FIVE TIME DRAFT CHAMPION!




    But for now, we celebrate our new PW Draft Overlord for the coming year, congrats to JOE
