    Great Shag won't be long, DM is online and then it's me plus I will be picking someone who is online at the time to go after me so we could be having a good run of picks coming up.

    Excuse that slip up. I was working off of the phone and got confused.

    Hopefully we should be sorted there now.

    Thought I landed on my feet getting Bobby so late in the game. Thankfully the rejig has made a few decisions for me which is always a plus.

    Still some massive names floating around. I'd echo what BH said in his commentary of the rosters. With credible Main Event picks growing every year it is great to see "Main Event" pairing mixing it up at bit. Not going for the obvious.

    One of my favourite draft story lines ever was "The Dynamite (kid) King." When either BH or Mr Nice Guy booked Dynamite kid as his world champ. It was fantastic.

    That was MNG guy but yeah it was a great one.

    Pmd Guappa just there as he is online at the moment and now he's next in this round. I'd stay around if you can however as he might be pming one of you soon.

    Very happy with Bruno so late

    Nice run of picks now hopefully. Regal is one I was considering as a commissioner type figure but kinda went off when I drafted Shane O Mac.

    Echo that I think it was my favourite draft storyline.

    Cesaro/Flair from beaker a close second though.

    Both worthy winners.

    Nah, Cesaro/Flair was your first win in 2016:

    MNG's main event that year was Balor VS Edge iirc.

    I've PM'd Daithi as I see he's online.

    Really wanted Tegan so decided to pick her now just in case she was on anyone's radar. Dakota is a nice bonus who'll fill another role for me.

    I didn't win the year I did the Dynamite King storyline but I had fun with it. I think my favourite bit of that year was getting to give Kim Kardashian the Stone Cold Stunner on my show opener. :pac:

    I was very tempted to take Demolition in the last round but I'm not convinced I'd use them properly, look forward to seeing what MNG comes up with. Also I'm a little relieved to see Daithi get Ziggler & to get ADR with him is great value; I had a different partner in mind for Dolph & had he still been available by my pick in this round I think I would've had to take them even if they didn't fit any current plans.

    Had a bit of a brainwave last night that saw me scrap almost my entire card & come up with completely different feuds. Think the draft might have renewed my wrestling enthusiasm as I'm thinking of resubbing to the Network tonight for the first time in months.

    Me too! I'm signing back up for Mania season starting with the Rumble tomorrow.

    Draft is one of my fave parts of it.


    Now to convince MNG to run his winter league to keep us going through the painful times....


    :D

    Careful not to spoil the rumble when posting the Rd12 order folks. I'm going to try to watch the show as soon as I can for example but WWE shows are mammoth these days and it's not like you can just skip into the mens Rumble match as then you run the risk of the announcers spoiling prior matches.

    I picked beakerjoe since he was the last to comment on the discussion thread when I picked. He must have logged off before he got the PM.

    Sorry sbout the delay guys. Busy day for me and I feel horrible for delaying.

    Ibushi is who I was hoping for this round, not a vital piece by any means but excellent value at this stage

    It's moreso that I have one person with no feud yet & Ibushi was my first choice. So if I traded him for Ibushi I'd still be in the same place :pac:
