Since Moneymaker is unfortunately not playing, does it just skip him?

A Brad Maddox Guy · 09-01-2016 11:57PM

PTH2009 took his place

Mr.Nice Guy · 09-01-2016 11:59PM

04. LordTSC
05. LeeJM
06. aaaaaaaahhhhhh
07. JP Liz
08. Uncle Walt
09. DM7
10. SlickRic
11. PTH2009
12. Beakerjoe
13. Thebostoncrab
14. Mr Nice Guy
15. Imnotthehulk
16. BrianRegan09
17. Paulie21
18. Mrkiscool
19. Cheese Wagstaff
20. A Brad Maddox Guy

thebostoncrab · 10-01-2016 12:07AM

2 more picks and my first choice for this round is still there. Fingers firmly crossed!

PTH2009 · 10-01-2016 01:55AM

Picked mine so next person

A Brad Maddox Guy · 10-01-2016 02:09AM

HBK's gone already

Mr.Nice Guy · 10-01-2016 03:00AM

Do we crack on and just let him amend it later himself or do we wait for him to fix it?

PTH2009 · 10-01-2016 04:24AM

Fixed now. Done hbk pick in a rush on my break. New pick done

Sorry about mix up

Bounty Hunter · 10-01-2016 06:16AM

Seems like getting a mid round draw in the first few rounds can actually be a pretty good thing. Keep being surprised by who is going unpicked and then people like Walt end up getting say HBK (the person I was guessing Liz would draft ahead of Ziggler) and he has a great line-up of Jericho, Macho Man & HBK after 3 rounds.

similarily Slick is doing pretty well to have gotten Samoa Joe, Misawa & HHH despite not getting (at least I dont think) any really high draws.

I was 100% sure Liz was going for HBK, would've put money on it with paddy power! Personally I think the first 2 rounds being stips and also reversed were fantastic and made things absolutely fair. I also think some serious talent were left undrafted in both those rounds!

beakerjoe · 10-01-2016 11:40AM

Making my pick in the next few mins, just double checking a few things

thebostoncrab · 10-01-2016 11:47AM

I'm ready to go so we should see some fast picks shortly

beakerjoe · 10-01-2016 12:01PM

Couldn't let Nakamura go. Was going to pick him in the first round instead of Hero/Cesaro so delighted to get him now.

Uncle Walt · 10-01-2016 12:09PM

Wow TBC that's a disgustingly good pick!

beakerjoe · 10-01-2016 12:11PM

Wow, great pick and both eligible. That's an early fav for the pick of the year slammy. Tremendous value

beakerjoe · 10-01-2016 12:14PM

And the possibilities with Kurt are mouth watering.

beakerjoe · 10-01-2016 12:16PM

Looking forward to the round order for round 4, after 16th and 12th, I'm hoping for a top end draw

Still great talent on offer late in round 3 and surely the begining of round 4

thebostoncrab · 10-01-2016 12:16PM

Nakamura was actually my second choice if I didn't get Kobashi and KENTA so it's the first round all over again! :P

I spent so long last night going through their tag matches trying to find a period which met the 3 month rule, and early NOAH was the answer! Kobashi is someone I have always wanted and think him and Angle would make an amazing match up. Having Hideo/KENTA as a tag pick also is just awesome as you cannot go wrong it the guy, he just works well against everyone.

beakerjoe · 10-01-2016 12:22PM

And both are elibile through promotions too, I didn't know they tagged for more than 3 months, great home work Crabman. Its paid off with a great tag pick

Bounty Hunter · 10-01-2016 03:41PM

Yep that is an awesome pick. Just when you thought Kobashi wouldn't be picked as part of a tag team for once Double KENTA!

I'll probably put up the draw for rd4 in a few hours

thebostoncrab · 10-01-2016 03:53PM

Edge is one of many big names Im stunned at making so far into round 3. There are a lot of big names left and I can see them easily making their way into round 4.

LeeJM · 10-01-2016 03:57PM

Solid pick by MNG there. With the talent available and Rd2 being a stip round Im not surprised Edge dropped down the list considerably. But a guy that can easily be programmed as a main eventer in either a face or heel role. Im dying to see the stip/no stip and order for the next round so I can tentatively plan where Im going next

DM_7 · 10-01-2016 03:58PM

Was sure Liz would pick Edge.

Mr.Nice Guy · 10-01-2016 04:00PM

There was one other guy I was tempted by besides Edge and I had actually begun formulating a storyline and match which had left me very excited. I hope I don't regret not going for it.

As Lee said though Edge can work face or heel effectively so I feel that gives a bit more breathing room when planning.

Imnotthehulk · 10-01-2016 04:02PM

Edge is a fantastic pick, I think one of the greatest of the post attitude era, a shame that injuries cut his time at top short.

Uncle Walt · 10-01-2016 04:03PM

Edge is a quality 3 round pick.. easily a first round top 20 pick.

Mr.Nice Guy · 10-01-2016 04:04PM

And finally Scott Hall gets drafted. I think he's terrific value as you can do a lot with his character: can make him Razor Ramon or just Scott Hall. Can also tap into his real life issues to bring out the personal side of him. A lot of options with him. He was on my list for this round.

LeeJM · 10-01-2016 04:05PM

Evil B*stard Edge v The Demon could be a hell of a feud for MNG

LeeJM · 10-01-2016 04:07PM

Disappointed to see Scott Hall go. He was on my list of guys I hoped would fall into the next round. Great pick though to get Spivey also

Bounty Hunter · 10-01-2016 04:25PM

Scott was also one that there would have been a lot of options for in the next round with the stip.

draw up!
