    I couldn't risk waiting another round and grabbed Ryder. He is someone I always wanted to book, and while there are more "dream match" names I'm looking at, Zack fills a huge babyface gap in my roster and has enough character to push into interesting storylines

    I did my Show Overview. Here it is in one post:

    Monday Night Grappling: Show Overview

    I took a lot of inspiration from Lucha Underground this year as you can probably tell.

    Episode 1 of my show up now. It's...ahem....different.

    Realize that it might be a little off-the-wall for what would be typical in the draft, but honestly, I've been having a blast with the idea for the last few days, and hopefully that shows in the idea :) Not much action in episode one, more establishing the world I want to base my shows in :)

    Interesting stip for the next round. Like the Enhancement talent round it adds some fun, suspense.

    Its also late enough that people won't miss out on big names thanks to it, I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to draft for a selection you miss out on due to them getting selected for another roster.

    Sorry for the delay folks, I tried to get on at lunch but didn't have enough time to get my pick up. Pretty surprised that it's almost 3 full rounds since the Pre-70s rule was abolished and Superstar was still available, thought he was one who traditionally went early enough in that round.

    Also I agree with DM_7, really like this next stip. It's earlier than the last time a similar stip was used & I think it will be all the more fun because of it. Just looking at Lee's roster and it's so varied that I think I'm going to have more fun figuring out someone he'd like than I will for choosing my own :P

    Cant wait to see who you pick BMG. Whomever it is I'll try to give them a big role. And I will admit that I had got a working idea but have decided to scrap it and wait until I have my roster finalised before making any concrete plans.

    Feedback -

    Stereo -
    A nice preview of things to come and it subtly sets the scene for the begining of your show. Look forward to how you use Charlotte and esp The New Day. Charlotte was a lady I wanted myself and think as a charcter she is under rated next to her peers.

    BrianRegan -
    Love your roster and the preview sets the tone nicely. Delighted to see Raven be pushed hard by yourself as he is an under rated pic in my eyes. be interesting how he interacts with former Boss Heyman.


    Necrominus Show 1-
    Your first show was a fun read and loved how unpredictable the battle royal was as anyoneof a number of guys could have won it. Assumed Andre was going to win as I see him and Cena being a great visual on a promo poster, but pleasantly surprised to see Jeff hardy steal the win. Him and Cena can work in a multitude of ways. Great job

    BradMaddoxGuy -
    Love how your show is a continuation of last years work (something I like to do myself as you know). The transition from year to year was cleverly written and loved the click bait styled reports, which was a nice touch.

    Pillman and Okada both look set for prominant roles (and rightly so) and Im looking forward to another excellent showing. Last year you made it easy to imagine Kenta v Sid with a great well thought out build up and I expect you to be a top contender this year.

    MNG -
    No disrespct to last years winner, but I expect you to be the man to beat this year as I imagine you shall be more determined to win since your crown was taken last year. And your introduction preview suggest Im not wrong. Great intro setting the tone with Balor and Dibiase. Its simple yet you seem to make it so effective more than I ever could.


    Nice take on Vader (being a lucky charm similar to Punk which I had no noticed. (also ive noticed Ive drafted 3 guys you had last year in Breeze, Von erich and Eric Bischoff)) and Cornettes recruiting was so fresh I wish I though of it.
    You've still got it.

    Lord TSC -
    The pics alone draw you in with a "WTF" type curiousness. I couldnt help but picture a post apocalyptic terminator-esque world and its a very ambitious idea trying to merge the world of poltics, a war torn future and wrestling all in one swoop but I have to admit, while I didnt think I d like the concept (its more like a movie than a wrestling show), its actually extremely entertaining. All the wrestling personalities seem to fit perfectly into their roles, especially Austin (who seems perfect for the potential heel role) and Ambrose and I look forward how this future Trump-lead world will continue to grow and develop.

    Paulie -
    A nice show to introduce the characters going forward. Should be interesting how The Uso's and their Dad Rikishi interact going forward, as well as Funk and Foley. Youive a tasty roster on paper and I look forward to how you bring them to life
