Great pick BMG. Also very happy with who you have selected for me. I think he just might play an important role in one of my storylines

Will get my pick up first thing in the morning.

I pick for A Brad Maddox Guy, right. I mean, the choice seems painstakingly obvious and easy....:P

Preview show is up:

To be fair, it's just an introduction to the characters, with no show actually taking place or any plot developments. Saying that, it's good to have the first few bits typed up and posted. It'll make writing the subsequent shows a lot easier now I think

Pick up. Molly was one of those "need cause she fits the roster" characters.

I always liked Molly Holly ... a very good women's wrestler, but seemed to be lumbered with goofy characters that (I think) held her back from really achieving her potential. Probably didn't have the right look for a diva back then ..although she rocked the shaved head look. She'd be great in the nxt women's division (even with the goofy gimmicks).

Didn't MNG take Molly? maybe I'm wrong

edit: yep he took Molly & Gail Kim in the last round!

new order is up (just a revers of last time).

I edited ABMG's links into the OP of the evaluation thread and will continue to do so also.

My limit of trades has been reached thanks to the deal LTSC announced. Meant to say before after reading his write up I was really reminded of Hereos (the tv show) and no doubt Amell will be a great addition and fit to that roster. Pity he misses out on Might Molly now too although im sure if hes set on such a role he could always gimmick up another lady as a superhero.

Actually really liked ABMGs pick too cos with them being Heenan guys I was tempted to pick them if they lasted any longer and now I don't have to. Also thought the pick he chose for the person before him (Mike Awesome) woulda been gone by now and is a great bonus to get at this stage.

I'm delighted TSC went with the obvious & gave me Maddox, I've actually never gotten to draft him before as he went earlier than I expected each of the last two years. With Batista, Miz & now Maddox I must have one of the worst dressed rosters the Draft has seen :P

Baby Ziggler is a nice bonus to round out my roster too.

sorry for the confusion long day in work

picked for my friend thebostoncrab now (hope the superstar is not gone)

I had a similar issue to this the other night, I was guessing off the top of my head who was left that would suit Liz's roster the best. Apologies to everyone here for delaying the draft picks. I was in London and had no access to wi-fi anywhere.

****, I'll be honest, I never even bothered to check if Molly was taken cause I was 100% sure she wouldn't have been at this stage Stupid me. Since Slick hasn't picked, I'll amend now if thats ok.....

Molly is very underrated imo and I actually think getting her and Gail Kim together was a coup but thats the perfect replacement in many ways esp when you think of it is how WWE replaced her. Stacy obviously fits in perfectly having played that role with Helms & Rosey before

Its all in the numbers :

Average draws :

Thebostoncrab : 8.769
Paulie21 : 9.230
MNG : 9.307
Lord TSC : 9.692
MrKiscool :9.769

ImnottheHulk :10.000
DM_7 : 10.692
Bounty Hunter : 10.076
LeeJM : 10.076
PTH2009 : 10.076

SlickRic : 10.153
Uncle Walt : 11
JP Liz : 11.076
BradMaddoxGuy : 11.153
Shagnasti : 11.153

Stereomaniac : 11.538
Brian Regan : 11.538
Beakerjoe : 11.923
Necrominus : 12.000
Cheese Wagstaff : 12.307

All in all its been mostly fair with no huge gulf in average picks like previous years at this stage. (7 - 14 i think it was last year)

Spare a thought for Necrominus, as while his average isn’t too bad on first glance most of his good draws happened before he took over in the the game from aaaaaaaaaaah!

TBC has had 3 number #1 draws, though 1 was after a poor average round draw in the first 4 rounds and the other is a reverse order round.

Stereomaniac has also had 2 number #1 picks as has PTH2009

Necrominus has had 2 number #20 draws and 2 number #1 draws (though both number 1 draws happened before he took over)

TBC has also had 2 number #20 draws as has Shagnasti PTH2009 and ABradMaddoxGuy

SlickRic and Imnotthehulk have had the number #6 three times, is it a bad omen?

Necrominus has had 3 round 17 draws all within 4 rounds. Will it pop up again?

MrK has had the number 8 pop up 3 times.

Cheese has had #18 three times

PTH2009 has had 4 numbers (1,8,15,20) all pop out twice

Similarly MNG has had 3 numbers (3,10,13) come up twice

While Slickric has had the number 6 three times, he has also had numbers 10,12 and 17 twice

BrianRegan has had numbers 9,13 and 18 twice too

DM_7, Beakerjoe,Bounty Hunter, Uncle Walt, Imnotthehulk, Lord TSC, Slickric, and CheeseWagstaff have all avoided the dreaded #20 pick but have also missed out on the golden no1 pick.

Cheers Beaker, makes interesting reading and I think I recall saying I would have the final round be based on the average order so far as in previous rounds so with only 1 more random draw to go before it maybe it will be something similar to that when the time comes. Also thanks again for Morishima, I've finally found a place for him on my PPV card, it meant a reshuffle in my plans and I won't be picking the fun character I had in mind for my rd 14 pick now but I think it will be worth it. Plus having now traded in Muta I suddenly have a nice Japanese contingent with those two and Aja Kong which is something the BWA usually has (afterall last year I had Nakamura, Tanahashi, Kobashi, Misawa & Inoki)

Dalton Castle is someone who was on my radar for the next round.

A great gimmick and one that could be gold in hands of DM_7

PM sent and all pics made.

Dalton was high on my radar and I was going to book him this round, then I got number 1 for that round so couldn't turn down the awesomeness of Jun, so I said goodbye to my plans for Dalton.

But I couldn't be happier with Necro and Jun. Necro is always a huge amount of fun to write for and I could easily put him against anyone on my roster and it would work. Hell I'm even tying with putting Necro in my main event!

The Nastys!!!

Love it. Fairly sure they haven't been drafted in a few years.

A great few debutants to the draft this year and a few returning faces from drafts beyond 2014. Any one care to do a roll call

Does anyone have a list of who has been drafted and what years they were drafted in? Joe's post was pretty interesting above there and made for some good reading. I'm after realising that I don't have enough posts to do everything I planned within the format that I wanted.
