    Nigel has already been drafted Lord, as far as I know?

    And done.

    Hope you like him, Maddox. I tried to pick someone who suited your roster, and with the ROH vibe, and the technical wrestling vibe, felt he would be a solid pick to flesh out your roster a bit. :)

    Liz already took Nigel, Lord :cool:


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


    God damn it, I checked the list and couldn't see him :( Will pick again now.

    Was bloody proud of that one.


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


    Right, fixed it.

    99% sure Low Ki is available, and I think he matches a similar tone to Nigel that I was aiming for :)

    Fun, Bounty! Always fun :P

    :D

    It had to be the mystery box! I think you will be happy (others may not be), though you might not have a clue what to do with them.

    Will have my picks up in a minute, just in after a long day.

    Those are two super solid names actually. When I was looking at my card earlier, I felt I needed a super strong midcard match and those two 100% deliver! Awesome.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 23,105 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    Didn't think anyone would take Tully on me but knew I really shouldn't wait another round to get Arn's tag partner in. Almost 100% neither of the guys I gave LTSC had been picked too, which tbh is part of the reason I picked them especially the less murdery one :pac: can't have a PW draft without someone writing for him!

    edit: glad to see you like the pick!


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 57,204 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Couldn't help myself :pac:

    Round 16 (final round) up folks!


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


    The drafting has gone so quick we need a developmental brand draft to follow :pac:


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


    Last pick of the draft - huge responsibility! One I wish I didnt have with it being Double Picks! I dont have any need for anyone though, so not the end of the world!

    Quite happy with Kaval, had him on my list :D Also I became aware of the 00s ROH vibe once I picked Wolves & knowing I needed Chris Hero but I have to admit it was completely accidental :p

    And I'm delighted the last round is a double pick, not that there's anyone I need at this stage but it gives us a lot more flexibility for working out any spots for our latter picks.

    I'm glad, I was wondering would it give rosters a bit of a bloated feel but I don't think any roster looks that way at present tbh.

    I thought I was set on my plans but I thought of something different just today so am debating a big rewrite :o

    I thought I had put both names up for Nigel/Desmond, sorry if I didn't

    Wanted Xpac. Got Xpac.

    Thanks Gupp.

    Wanted Jesse as my second choice, hope my first choice is still around by my go.

    If it wasn't X-Pac it would have been Mustafa Ali, who then gets taken next pick by DM_7!

    Thanks for Severn DM. A bit out of left field, but I actually don't mind that at all. I'm not quite happy with my midcard so adding him to the mix might just click things into place.


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


    Thanks Liz,

    Corey was a planned pick so that works out great for me.

    Thought as much, had a few folk I thought you might like. Those two can be very versatile


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 57,204 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    As it's now the last round of picking...

    The Write Ups Thread is now live. Please note the deadline for submissions (and I'll post it here too):

    4 weeks after the last pick has been made.


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 57,204 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Blargh. Tried my hardest to keep the match count down but I'm looking at 6 matches now I think. Wasn't entirely happy with my midcard like I think Mr. Guappa said recently so had rethink and rewrite. Much happier now with the direction... I think :pac:

    I’m really struggling to find where Marty Scrull fits into my storylines/feds. If anyone wants him my arm would probably be easily twisted.


    :pac: Assuming this is a mis-post Shag and not some devious work you have planned :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,431 ✭✭✭ShagNastii


    Nope no plans. Marty free to good home and all that jazz (Well almost free. Would appreciate a trade)

    To be honest I have my arc panned out and I’m going to have to pull by on any “masterplans”. At present every feud has Russo levels of swerve.

    I may actually have up to twice the number of matches as yourself on my final card, I sh!t you not :pac:


    Been busy travelling and didn't get a chance to thank you until now Al (cos of the draft I'm now imagining you as Lord Alfred Hayes btw :D ) but Grandmaster Sexaay will def have a place in my Lawler storyline.

    My big problem is that I am going with the format of 1 post to set the fed up, 1 to flesh out feuds and 2 for the PPV itself. The 1 post to flesh out all these feuds might end up being a behemoth mess!

    !


    This is my problem with the restrictions on posts per person.

    If I submit anything it will be most likely on the format BH mentioned above. Like BH Ill be trying to cram a lot of work i to my second post to build up the feuds. Ill look to build 3 to 4 weeks of build in this post for each feud. And my fear is it will be a long winded mess.

    Id much prefer chopping this post up into 3 to 4 installments rather than squash it into 1 giant post.

    Id also rather read others work in more installments. All my own preference.

    The 4 post restriction, which was brought in by myself to try get more posters to submit work, doesnt work in my opinion.

    In hindsight of last year , while I was delighted more people submitted work, I felt the quality of work of others suffers.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 23,105 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    The one positive for me in those terms I must admit is that this year I may not have the time to do what I'd probably do in order to do it justice, if I was to expand that 2nd of my 4 posts (the one fleshing out feuds) to the 3 or so posts i'd usually do.

    I will more so be giving the storyline, character motivations, a summary of their interactions and maybe 1/2 more in depth promos for the big feuds than say a full feud with every beat for beat of the rivalry and every word said transcribed. I should have the time to do that properly and hopefully can tell enough of a story in the 2 ppv posts to compensate for anything im missing out.

    Swap it around and make your PPV one big post.

    I’m always amazed how you produce such fantastic writing for your PPVs every year. I generally dread writing the blow offs cause it involves match write-ups.

    Give me set piece or gimmicky storylines to expand on and make entertaining no problem, but boy do I struggle to document exciting matches.
