    Nice one, normally I'd put up the next round order now but given we're so close to the Rumble it can wait till tomorrow :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,984 ✭✭✭✭paulie21


    Pick made nearly sure neither have been in picked. Ruat PM’ed


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 57,956 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Round 12 order up folks. Not posting times or anything just yet as the Rumble was only on last night.

    I have them though if anyone wishes to verify them, just send me a PM :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,765 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    Pick made.
    PM sent to Lord TSC.

    Malenko is too good to turn down, and I may as well get Saturn as a bonus.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,989 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Gotta run out for a bit but I'll get my pick up as soon as I get back :)

    I don't know why I thought Malenko was already gone, great pick as is Sherri at this stage


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,989 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    I'm making a pick I'm 95% sure qualify as a tag team cause they've been teaming together on Impact since August, according to the records I can find. But I don't really watch TNA so hope I'm reading it right :P

    The main pick also runs under a few names, but I'm also 95% no one has picked him yet either.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,989 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    And done. Pentagon and Fenix.

    The two have tagged together on Impact 9 times since July (as well as being current Impact champions) so they qualify, and no one else had them, yeah?


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 57,956 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Yep, all good from a brief look Lord. I think DM_7 is the only one left to pick this round now.

    At this stage I have no idea who is left or who to pick so I am picking almost at random!

    Pick made anyway.

    How many matches are folks planning on their cards this year? I've tentatively got I think 4 currently with plans for each. I'll likely add a fifth but I can't see me adding any more than that this year (which might be music to some people's ears given my penchant for a lot in the past :pac: )

    I had not planned to go crazy with the number of matches this year and yet I am currently expecting around 8!

    Already have all the needed participants for 5 planned ones as things stand. That said most of mine will be 1on1 bouts and im guessing given who you have on your roster and the low number 1 of yours might be a big faction war.

    I have not started writing anything really still (despite the above perculating plans) and probably won't for another 2 weeks due to travelling over Chinese New Year but did mean to confirm the show limit this year so that I could pre plan to some extent. Was it 4 shows (could be 5 posts if a PPV was split over 2) or am I mis-remembering last years?

    4 posts, use them how you like.

    So as per beaker's example last year:
    1 introductory post
    1 show or feud highlight
    2 for the PPV.

    I don't mind other variations though as long as the four posts are adhered to.

    As for the faction war.... I might be going in that direction :pac:

    I have 6 matches planned at the minute depending on one future pick. Could easily change depending on who else I draft. I know I said before we started that I'd likely only be a PPV Card this year but I quite like some of the feuds I thought of a couple nights ago and mightn't be able to resist writing them.

    As I said before the Rumble, the Draft seems to have rebooted my wrestling enthusiasm :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I'll try and get my pick up soon, Nattie was my top pick for this round


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,544 ✭✭✭ShagNastii


    Eh Liz I did a bit of a ninja edit 20 mins after my pick. Look again.

    I hope this isn’t a problem for anyone who may have picked up on it.

    Ha 20 mins.... more like an hour. Ha.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,544 ✭✭✭ShagNastii


    Ah Beak I couldn’t claim anything as a “ninja edit” if I correctly admitted it took an hour.

    I appreciate the edit but I have changed some plans now so picked the forgotten Rocker (underrated too) Marty Jannetty who despite what Heenan said did not throw himself through the window to escape HBK :p

    That is quite the pick Alfred, I didn't release the longest incarnation of Doink teamed with Farooq back in WCW. Nicely researched, not sure if that pick has been made before.

    Faarooq is a former World Champion so most years it wouldn't have been allowed anyway. Great pick though, especially with Bradshaw already on the roster.

    I'll post round 13 up tonight as I'm away for most of tomorrow.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,753 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    Round 13 already!

    I know :eek:

    Pace has slowed the last few days but it's not even Feb yet!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 23,157 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    loving the pace tbh even though I don't think I'll be ready to write for a while and had not expected to have to for ages given the writting process usually ends around Mania time!

    Speaking of rounds, I said I'd ask the rest of you as I can't decide myself which would be preferable.

    Do you guys want....

    A) An average ordered Round 15 with a double pick stipulation

    OR

    B) Average ordered round 15 with a different stip, and a bonus round 16.

    Opening it to the floor on what you would prefer :)
