Delighted to get the New Age Outlaws on board, have PMed Shagnastii too.

This almost makes me forgive trading out Piper

Perfect and Saturn maybe available too

Becky is available for the right price

Getting Nash so late is amazing.

The man was a complete catalyst to the MNW.

Damn the Miz was high on my list, grrr

Great pick in the Wolves, never expected them to get to me but top of my next picks. Surprised they lasted so long

12 ahead of me and still debating to take a tag team or a singles guy, damn draft problems

Wolves were one of my names so that helped! I decided to forgo some bigger names still here from the tag world and go with a team I love watching and just loved the idea of booking.

I've found each round fairly easy to pick in so far. Even the abandoned stipulation seemed easy enough to me. I've always got a clear idea who I want next and keep getting my choices.

My thoughts so far :

Lord TSC: Dean Ambrose & Solomon Crowe, Umaga, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Rey Mysterio, The Great Muta,

A tasty looking roster so far and 2 rebels like Austin and Ambrose seems like a sure thing on paper, but additions of Umaga, Rey and Muta mean your main event is wide open.

Mr.Nice Guy: Finn Balor, Nick Bockwinkel & Ray Stevens, Edge , Stan Hansen, Ted Dibiase & IRS,

The selction of characters here is mouth watering and in the hands of MNG, can be very useful. While Ted Dibiase is MNGs 5th pick, i smell an MVP of the draft with MNGs creative writing.

Bounty Hunter: Brock Lesnar, Killer Kowalski & Gorilla Monsoon, Daniel Bryan, Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard, Chris Benoit

While not having the greatest speakers in the world, this is a hard hitting roster and one that can easily have a variety of 5 stars matches depending on how BH wants to go.

SlickRic: Samoa Joe, Misawa, HHH, Bam Bam Bigelow, the Road Warriors,
, The American Wolves : Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards,

An uber talented roster here from the returning draft veteran, and again its unclear as to what his main event feud will be as he has 3/4 great top tier talents on board as well as a strong tag team bout.

A Brad Maddox Guy: Kazuchika Okada, Brian Pillman, Batista, RVD, Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega, The Miz,

A great mix of great characters and fantastic in-ring perfromers. This could be one of my favourite rosters based on its diversity.

LeeJM: AJ Styles, Dr. Death Steve Williams & Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy, CM Punk, Sabu & Tazz, Matt Sydal and Riochet,

Agreat mix of great high flying talent, hard hitting brusiers and great grapplers. Lee is a new comer but Im looking forward to see what he can do with this roster.

Beakerjoe: Chris Hero & Cesaro, Ric Flair, Shinuke Nakamura, Young Bucks, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch,

My roster Im happy so far

Thebostoncrab: Kurt Angle, Rick Rude, Kenta & Kenta Kobashi, Bully Ray, Scott Steiner, Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows

TBC goes back to the lads so far this year and has assembled a great roster thus far. His main event can go many ways and so far has the makings of potentailly the best roster in draft history.

PTH2009: Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn, Big Bossman, Sheamus, Rocco Rock & Johnny Grunge, Rhyno,

some big names here as well as some old ECW greats for good measure. Very interested to see what comes from the new comer.

Paulie21: John Cena, Lou Thesz, Mick Foley, Mr Kennedy, Honkey Tonk Man & Greg Valentine, Kevin Nash aka Diesel,

Im really liking this roster, some fantastic caharacters, great speakers and great grapplers to boot. A nice balanced roster with great potential.

BrianRegan09: Hiroshi Tanahashi, Mr Perfect, Goldberg, Raven & Perry Saturn, Paul Heyman,

Some great talent here and plenty of scope for a variety of main events depending on what floats Brians boat.

JP Liz: Roman Reigns, Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith, Dolph Ziggler, Christian, Tyson Kidd & David Hart Smith, Drew Galloway and Wade Barrett,

A great double pick in the RIP round means Liz is in a very strong position. Very interested to see what you do with PE#1 Roman.

Cheese Wagstaff: Seth Rollins, Sean O' Haire, Ricky Dragon Steamboat, Shelton Benjamin & MVP, Mercury & Morrison,

A very athletic roster if I do say so and one that could have some great 5 star matches. Plus I love the pick of Sean O'Haire, a great character which was under used in WWE.

Shagnastii: Sting, The Ulitmate Warrior, Hulk Hogan, Vince McMahon, Jesse Ventura,

What a roster. A great 80s / early 90s feel to this group and knowing Shag he will get the most out of a fantatsic line up.

Stereomaniac: Kofi Kingston & Big E, Yokozuna, Bret Hart, The Big Show, Iron shiek

Some great characters here, ranging from the loud and prod New Day to the down right crazy Shieky baby. Looking forward to see what Stereo brings.

Mrkiscool: The Undertaker, Fabulous Moolah, Jake The Snake Roberts, Sandman, Trish Stratus and Lita, Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish,

A nice little niche roster, with 3 great male charcters together should be a fun read.

ImnottheHulk: Bray Wyatt, Dusty Rhodes, Scott Hall & Dan Spivey, Goldust & Stardust, Eric Rowan and Luke Harper, The Acsension : Konnor and Viktor,

The Wyatts versus the Rhodes.... sign me up!

Uncle Walt: Chris Jericho, Randy Savage, HBK, Jerry "The King" Lawler, Dynamite Kid,

What a talented bunch, a lack of tag teams is made up with the amazing singles talent at hand. One of my favs.

DM_7: Randy Orton, Eddie Guerrero, Booker T, Alberto Del Rio, Mark & Jay the Briscoes,

A nice latin blend to this roster as well as some great in ring competitors makes this rosterone to watch. Alberto, in the right hands, can be a dark horse for MVP of the draft.

Necrominus: Kane, Roddy Piper, The Rock, Jeff Hardy, New Age Outaws aka Billy Gunn and Jessie James,

A nice attitude era feel to this roster, with a nice mix of great vocal talent and in ring greats.

Again Becky Lynch is available for the right offer.

Feck! JBL was who I wanted for this round. Stan Hansen vs JBL would have been too good to pass up. The proud Texan vs the Texan-turned-New Yorker. Lariat vs Clothesline from Hell. And I was so close to him.
