    Really like the twist on the celeb round this year.

    Well my thinking was, I didn't want to make it urgent as most are pretty entrenched in their plans this year and might want someone more than a celeb.

    So the option is there at any stage to take one from now on if people would like :)

    Pick made. Very pleased he wasnt taken yet.

    Amell was one, along with Trump I probably would have taken as they would both provide something different to what I have taken in the past to work with. That said I did have a superhero last year but Amell is someone I could take far more seriously in an angle that ends up in the ring than even a lot of the combat athletes that usually get taken. I had Ronda twice in the celeb round (before this year when she was eligible in non celeb rounds) for the same reason, you could legit see her in a wrestling match.

    Thought I had found a great celeb to write for but in the end only found evidence of him being in the crowd for an NWA affiliate not actively involved so right now I'm not sure if I will take a celeb though thankfully the way the stip is set up I could still take a lesser one in a later round.

    edit: ahh Dang, Hugh Jackman was the only other celeb I was considering at this point for this round! nice job BJ (oh and g'luck on the interview)

    Very nearly picked HJ myself; but didnt have 100% plans for him, so let it slip by. Happy with R Truth also!

    Cheers BH, I hope Im able to contribute.

    Hugh was my first choice celeb, Amell was my back up. Have a little plan for him since a few rounds back and delighted to get him.

    I wasn't really going to take a celeb but I think Mr. T could work, A Team meet B Team :p

    No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change this World

    Round 14 draw up plus a little... stip :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 681 ✭✭✭daithi1989


    Long way to go til my next pick so - no point even trying to plan with the stip in mind, although I had a tag team in mind to draft a few round back that are still available. If still available, I might have to take them!


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 57,198 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Torn between two picks myself, half hoping Shaggers makes it an easy decision for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,430 ✭✭✭ShagNastii


    Holy smoke that was quick Necro. I was just about to PM you.

    Have a feeling my choice may not have help you choose. Just had to shoot on my celeb this round even though I think nobody else wanted her.

    :D Not in the slightest did it help me, but decided on Henry all the same. I think he's good value at this time of the draft and he fits nicely into my plans.

    paulie PMed anyways and so begins the long wait till my next pick again :pac:

    Love the Gronk pick paulie. Steiner jumps out at me as an obvious opponent for him, but I could see him going against any of your roster and it being a good fit, including something with Alexa. Really good pick.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,726 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    Stumped about who to pick. Will try to pick soon.


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 57,198 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Eeep, sleeping on the job (or just off night shift). Slick has been PMed as B Team were taken by Liz back in Round 7, so hopefully he can make a change soon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,430 ✭✭✭ShagNastii


    I might wait for Slick. His selection this round has already gone to Liz.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,699 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    Whoops!

    I'm happy to wait until the end of the round as punishment. Should've seen that.


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 57,198 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Nah pick away Slick, easy mistake at this late stage tbf.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,025 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    I didnt even notice Slick picked the B Team.

    I dont mind picking again if Slick wishes to pick whom I selected


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,699 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    no need Beaker.

    I've gone the JR route.

    I'm happy both picks were in good faith so they're grand.

    Shaggers up next and all is right with the world again :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,025 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    I cant believe War Raiders are still available at this stage. Like I checked to see if anyone took them and seem to be free.

    Are any of them up on child abuse charges or something..... how come no one selected them. Cracking tag team

    There are some massive names available still even at this late stage. See at this point there's 65 less picks than normal with only 15 playing so there's still some really good value left.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,956 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    I think there's some big names because at this point, people are working with whatever theme they've got going.

    Like...I picked Val Venus cause I have Joey Ryan. There were bigger names available....but the idea of writing those two against each other was too much to pass up :P


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 57,198 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Oh definitely, I've a specific list of folks I want laid out and a few back ups just in case. I'm unlikely to change from that at all tbh.

    oh absolutely.

    there are some ludicrous names still up for grabs.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,726 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    I am picking without a list. This round I just looked up tag teams since I could pick one and settled on a pick.

    Was going to send you a list I had when I saw your post but then got caught up playing drunken Chinese monopoly :pac: Daniels and Kazarian would have been on it though. They are a team I didn't plan to take but expected someone (most likely Liz given draft history iirc) to take the past few rounds.

    Unless someone takes one of my planned picks my next 3 rounds choices are already locked in place anyway because of plans. Hopefully with one of them having never been picked before and 1 being picked after Shag I should be able to get all three too as I'm travelling for the next week and won't have a backup list after tomorrow.

    Very true.

    Fingers crossed you have a sword fight plans :D

    Jaysus that's exactly what we were on about. Yokozuna going in round 14. Phenomenal value pick this deep into the game.
