    I read You and then the r was in Pick


    I think the large text and exclamation marks made me read an aggressive sentence on first view.:p

    I'm glad Shag ended up getting Lana. I like her a lot as a character but I didn't consider her as I think she belongs with Rusev really. I'd say others felt the same.

    I've a question - with regards the remaining rounds are we doing a Round 16 like we did last year, or was that just a one-off?


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


    Pick made and PM sent, sorry about the delay was researching eligibility. Helms is good value at this stage especially if I can get his opponent I have for his planned feud.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,601 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Will there be a round where we pick for another roster?


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


    Lads, I know I'm up. Just need a little while to think who to pick. Have a massive migrane so once I shake it, I'll make the pick.

    Was a once off, and don't have it planned.

    Was planning on giving it a year off; my main fear is that it basically turns into a "Pick a jobber" round for a lot of people, so thought giving it a break for the year might make it fresher when it returns next year.

    I thought it was a cool idea picking for someone else's roster the guy I got ended up with a title by the end of my ppv so definitely not A jobber for me anyway

    Yes I liked that round too


    There is no more stip rounds left or has Lord TSC got a surprise in store for us?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 23,101 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    Think he said there was one more to come but yeah I liked that one as it gave people a chance to give someone else someone who could help their storylines and not just a jobber that perhaps they wouldnt have picked themselves, for example (just cos hes picked already) someone might have given me Cabana cos I already have Punk. I enjoyed going through someone elses roster and picking who I thought suited it after spending so long doing that on my own

    I got a great pick that suited my fed and used him well in the run up to my shows. (Its fun to pick for others too)

    Rikishi wasn't gone yet (to our shame)??


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


    Finally decides on who to choose. Not on the last list. awesome.

    Enters draft topic. Sees Liz picked Carlito :mad::(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 418 ✭✭lebowskilite


    Edited my first post to include a few more snippets and at least one clue on what the storylines will be. Still haven't got a Grandslam graphic, but I'm sure no one minds a slightly quicker loading thread :p

    Here for the sake of convenience is the link to that post on its own.

    Also, i just read Brad Maddox Guy's and beakerjoe's.

    a brad maddox guy: unluckly once again to not get your hero Brad :p. Not a fan of Mike Tyson so I hope you parody the **** out of him :). You've got a pretty packed roster there and you also seem to know what you're doing with them, very interested to see where it goes and obvs. the Ambrose/Foley program that we never got to see in WWE should be eggselent.

    beakerjoe: Great idea with Vince and Jarrett, I can't wait for the grumbling old wretch to ruin the fun.

    I know I know, I should read the posts in order right? :p

    Sorry Lord TSC but you still picked up a decent tag team in Cade & Murdoch


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


    Yeap, and they probably work out in my storylines better. One guy I desperately want now though :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,159 ✭✭✭mrkiscool2


    I did a really weird overview for my show which is mostly just recapping sh1t from last year and building towards the PPV. So many potential feuds there at the minute and a lot of them are hinted at in the preview. So yeah, feedback isn't necessary on that. Will have the first show up Friday


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,722 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    Outline up. Changed it around a few times so hopefully it reads thrugh consistently

    Will read the others and provide some feedback in next couple of days.

    When I had Undertaker 2 years ago, he didn't appear until midway through the PPV.

    As per outline
    Newsites are reporting Seth Rollins has bought out his WWE contract and is now a free agent.

    The following of ICE Wrestling on Twitter sends fans into a skid as it looks like Rollins is skating into ICE Wrestling.

    Plenty of great feud options there certainly. You're spoiled for choice. Has it been tricky trying to pin down who to face off against who, or have you had a fixed idea on everything all along?

    Yeah it was very well done. I liked the Heyman intro which I found very believable. Also I can tell you're going to have a lot of fun writing for the Briscoes. One thing I've noticed is you've no shortage of great talkers at your disposal. That will be very handy for the write-ups.

    No, had a pretty good idea all along the way. The person facing Bryan at the main event was the toughest when I got Benoit. But yeah, all the feuds are good!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    It's great when you start to see all of the pieces fit together. I've most of my plans sorted but a few pieces of the puzzle at the lower end of the card that I'm still mulling over.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭brianregan09


    Pick made and Pm Sent


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,012 ✭✭✭✭Alfred Borden


    Happy with that pick, pretty sure they havent been picked already!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 23,101 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    Happy to get one more guy who can mix it up with the big names on my TV shows but its the next pick that's most important for my plans , get that and I'll be 95% confident I'll get my planned card

    Will get around to reading everyones write ups tonight. I'm actually going to leave doing mine until I have made all 15 picks, as there is still a chance that I might change a few story lines depending on who I pick. I only have 3 feuds so far that are 100% set in stone and won't be changing.

    Went with Havok because not only do I enjoy watching her go, but I didn't want everyone on my roster to be the same. It would be liking having guys who only brawl or who only do great promos on a roster. In fact, it hit me so much that something Bounty Hunter said earlier came back into my head this morning, and I might just be drafting someone who would be viewed more "diva" than "wrestler."
