Thanks for that special delivery BH. What a dud. Seeing the enhanced talent draw is almost a much fun as seeing who has been picked.

Brilliant stip.

beakerjoe · 01-02-2016 03:06PM

I second Shags feelings, great stip and I lool forward to see who BH has in store got everyone

Bounty Hunter · 01-02-2016 03:28PM

tbh It's nothing special but is something fun (and as said a jobber could help with writting shows) and I guess it's something I like about having a different person running the draft that there is always something a little bit different. Odds are I won't run it next year (unless nobody else steps up) so someone else gets a chance to put their slant on it too but atm I'm enjoying it although the amount of posts I have in this thread alone is kinda obscene atm.

Yeah you can. For example you could do the couple of PPVs in advance of your version of wrestlemania as your build up.

The only thing you have to do is your actual 1 big PPV. The write ups to get there can take almost whatever form you want. People usually do weekly shows but weve had people do the year building to it in multiple wrap ups of the a couple of months at a time instead or posts where each post outlined 1 or 2 of the feuds that would culminate at the big PPV.

It'll be interesting to see if anyone pushes their enhancement bonus, I think I have an angle for Colin but I wouldn't call it a push. Really fun stip.

Mr.Nice Guy · 01-02-2016 08:50PM

Pick made and PM sent. Very happy with my first female pick. I also like the stip as I think you always need a bit of cannon fodder on your roster. I believe they should being back jobbers on Raw today.

Here is the list of numbers taken in this round so far to save people looking it up:

1. JP Liz - chose number 20
2. A Brad Maddox Guy - chose number 8
3. ShagNastii - chose number 13
4. thebostoncrab - chose number 1
5. beakerjoe - chose number 14
6. Mr.Nice Guy - chose number 5

Ill use Fake Sting in at least one angle, again I wouldn't call it a push but I could easily work him in with Lugar and Flair. A nice addition

PTH2009 · 01-02-2016 10:50PM

Have a good idea for a match for my mania involving members of a tag team for my roster

Mr.Nice Guy · 01-02-2016 11:26PM

I've rejigged my plans and I'm finding Ryback to be presently at a loose end. I may figure out a role for him but as things stand I will listen to offers for The Ryback.

The Ryback requires fifteen meals a day and plenty of space for his arm exercises. He also enjoys long walks on the beach. He has a hard shell but a kind spirit once you earn his trust. Friendly owners wanted.

Does he do any tricks??

He can be made stand perfectly still by the sound of his own theme music. You must respect his arm movements while he does this however and be sure to have plenty of treats on standby when he asks to be fed.

If you want him to stay in one place just keep saying Skip Sheffield over and over and he won't go anywhere.

Remember patience is key. If you upset him he will get frustrated and begin slapping himself in the head whilst shouting 'stupid'.

And never say 'heel' to him or he will give you a low-blow and deliver the Shell Shocked.

Stereomaniac · 02-02-2016 03:19AM

I just want to take a moment here to publicly thank my advocate gerrybbadd who stepped in at the 11th hour to announce the SWWG's most recent pick, Míl Mascaras. I was working all weekend and was unable to get logged in here so am eternally grateful to gerry. To the other user I messaged on social media about perhaps making the pick, if you replied to me on there apologies that I haven't responded yet, I haven't been back on there.

Mr.Nice Guy · 02-02-2016 05:21PM

I'm happy to land Just Joe. I remember him and how he used to sh*t stir backstage. Hopefully I can get some comedy value out of him.

Bounty Hunter · 02-02-2016 05:55PM

As per usual cheers for the updated roster ill add that to the OP of the picks thread now. Cool how many different people are helping out doing it this year. Usually I'd do it more myself but I guess running it im a little more busy this time.

Speaking of, glad you liked you EH round bonus MNG and Cheese yours is up now too, btw I had Inoki last year and think he is a great pick and one that really fit my overall story at the time.

DM_7 · 03-02-2016 01:04AM

Just realised Sid ended up in the early 90s roster with Shagnastii, perfect roster for him. Great picking.

Almost selected him when I drafted Rusev.

Stereomaniac · 03-02-2016 03:28AM

I've got about a hundred ideas swirling around in my head for what to do with these characters. Things are overlapping and weaving in and out of each other. Might scrap it all now.

Bounty Hunter · 03-02-2016 03:02PM

Hope Mrk can get online in the next 2 hours or so otherwise I guess we move to BrianRegan09.

Just thought I'd point out that I am traveling during Chinese new year which starts this weekend, so from Saturday (for a week) onwards if anyone has any questions etc you can direct them towards LTSC instead of myself. That said from past experience I'll probably be able to make my picks and potentially put up the round orders etc but I also informed him of the next few stips so that if I am not around he can post up the next round draws.

It's around this time in the game when things usually slow down so maybe not much will get done during that time anyway although I do kinda hope we get to my go in this round before I go at least in the few days before I go, got a massive trade to announce then

After that you can all go as slow as you want in fact I encourage it so I've more time to write when I get back.

Kankan14 · 03-02-2016 07:14PM

Just an idea that we used a little last year and it's really helpful, if people could post a link to their previous show as the comp gets deeper in.

Esp for those of us looking in from outside the it's so much easier to follow.

Eg, before you post your third episode/show just have say
Link; intro
Link;show 1
Link; show 2.

This makes life way easier for me and I am super lazy!

Other than that,been fun to follow as always:)

Bounty Hunter · 03-02-2016 07:21PM

I would def agree with this as it also makes it easier for us to bunch links of peoples shows together later meaning people can just use those links and avoid having to actually read through the evaluation thread which due to the amount of pics etc can often be very slow to load etc.

Like other years I'll be keeping a word document with direct links to everybody's individual shows. I'll paste it here once the Evaluations Thread gets going properly & BH can edit it into the opening post.

I was so confused when google told me Mr K had picked directions to a restaurant in Tokyo :P Great pick with Adam Cole there, I would have liked to book him again.

BH, for the write ups if I want to reference something from my shows last year but a person involved hasn't been picked yet do I need to wait for them to be picked? I'd be using their name(s) so am I right in thinking I need to wait before I can post it?

mrkiscool2 · 03-02-2016 08:41PM

Wow, getting Zack Gowen as an enhancement talent is pretty amazing to be honest! Can have a lot of fun with him even if he won't be at the top or middle of the card, can still find a place for him!
