    Non-Draft question. I haven't really watched much wrestling the last couple of years, especially since Sky Sports lost Raw & Smackdown but I hadn't enjoyed WWE for quite a while before that. Where & when is AEW on TV over here? NFL season is almost over and with the Draft on I wouldn't mind giving it a look.

    ITV4 have Dynamite on a Friday night, usually around 11.

    Yeah over the first four rounds your average placing is 6.5 - which is really, really good! (Though probably not for the average order round :pac: )

    Anything 8.5 or below is usually a sign of a good draw.

    Remind me how many rounds is there and how many shows are we writing?

    Will probably need a link to the previous year just so I can get a grasp of what is done. :pac:

    Love that trio, such a smart way to bring in some many different main event level possibilities with all 3 from either direct match, mentorship angles, manager angles. Excellent pick.

    Sorry for delay, just had to check something with Necro.

    These guys were on my list and after seeing the round 4 stip and where I was, I couldn't chance them not making there way down to me.

    Will send the PM off now

    Lads I’m give you the heads up on my intentions in a couple of picks.

    I must say it’s definitely injecting a lot of fun into it for me.

    I have unironically enjoyed Disco Inferno on my podcast (@WCWThunderPod on twitter) but jaysus I never imagined he would be drafted in the third last never mind third round of the draft. Go watch Halloween Havoc 98 and you'll see Disco at his best in 2 very enjoyable matches

    Great picking Shag and can't wait to see what your final roster ends up being

    I actually got Disco Inferno as a 'dud' pick in my very first draft - one of the stips was to pick a mystery box or something like that along with your normal pick.

    Had so much fun with him I actually drafted him for reals the following year :D

    The Keepin It 100 lads are an entertaining podcast; half take piss half legitimate and alternative criticism.

    I listen to them more now than I would of Conrad's fleet of podcasters.

    Goldberg was the other name I had in my mind beside Becky, two very different paths I know :)

    Was sort of hoping he might slip into Round 4 but knew it wasn't very likely :D

    Had Big Billberg in my first draft and I enjoyed him. Has star power, even to this day hes booked strong and will be a nice contrast to the others in your fed Brad.

    Ah that was my first year in the draft and got Captain Lou (I think was his name?) who ended up being my Manager of my Anoa'i Family stable!

    Dayum....Vader was one of the deviants I had shortlisted for the next round.

    Mind you given my placing and barring Walt and me being mind melded I think I'll get my no. 1 pick. :D

    Love the Vader pick, brings legit toughness to any roster. Super flexible to use too. Happy to have Goldberg, don't think I've ever used him before. I almost took Batista instead of Bryan in round 1 so happy that Bill should fulfill a similar role.
