Out of curiousity do we HAVE to pick a tag team or just someone who was in a tag team?

Nope, just someone who held tag team gold in WWE. No requirement to pick a tag team

Shaggy needs to explain his King Kong Bundy pick. I cant remember him being drafted in years, let alone first round.

Very interesting first pick in Bundy, I am intrigued ShagNastii

NITRO95 · 07-01-2021 11:21pm

Really really happy with those opening picks. Never had The Bulldogs before and hope I can do them justice

ShagNastii · 07-01-2021 11:29pm

Nitro I think you’ll have to rejig your picks.

Bulldogs aren’t eligible in round one due to the stipulation.

Needed to have headlined Wrestlemania.

They did. They headlined the Chicago portion of WrestleMania II

I even checked with Necro before making the pick

Necro · 07-01-2021 11:31pm

Yeah it's all good, they were part of the trifecta main event of Mania 2. Clever use of the stip.

Uncle Walt · 07-01-2021 11:33pm

Had a completely different plan for my picks about 5 mins ago :pac:

JP Liz V1 · 07-01-2021 11:35pm

I assume for R2 the tag team rule of no world champ still applies

So someone who held a title belt isn’t eligible or?

brianregan09 · 07-01-2021 11:42pm

I'm absolutely delighted with my 1st 2 picks

Ready made feud. Great drafting

Uncle Walt · 07-01-2021 11:46pm

Great stips for those first 2 rounds, had plans but they went right out the window.

thebostoncrab · 07-01-2021 11:48pm

I know it’s too early to plan feuds, but the potential of HHH vs Cody is very juicy!

daithi1989 · 07-01-2021 11:50pm

Dont wanna be that guy.. But was Cody not a World Champ, and therefore not allowed as a Tag Team?

brianregan09 · 07-01-2021 11:51pm

Nope not in WWE, TNA, NJPW or AEW

daithi1989 · 07-01-2021 11:54pm

NWA?

NWA only counts as far as when it became affiliated with TNA

Uncle Walt · 07-01-2021 11:57pm

Dont think that NWA title counts post WCW unless the rule changed

brianregan09 · 07-01-2021 11:57pm

Only place he won the WHC was with ROH

Ah I stopped reading the rules too early! As you were!

thebostoncrab · 08-01-2021 12:01am

Bryan and Punk on the same roster, has that happened before?

Has Punk not held the world title for over a year, 6th longest reign?

The White Wolf · 08-01-2021 12:08am

I'm confused on round 2, how come some are picking a tag team and others are picking one person?

It's just a normal round, you can make a single or tag team pick (as long as it conforms to the rules) with the added stipulation that your pick (or picks) must have held tag team gold in the WWE.

brianregan09 · 08-01-2021 12:13am

The Stip is you have to pick someone who has won the tag team titles in wwe

if you pick a tag team , they can't have a world champion in them

Got it now, thanks. Hopefully have my pick in a while

I mean in the draft, it’s an excellent combo to get and one that I never thought someone would be able to get due to the popularity of both guys

I see...technically I could pick a proper tag team but split them out on my roster (assuming they weren't world champion).

Crossed wires, I meant from a valid pick POV, but brian has cleared that up for me above

brianregan09 · 08-01-2021 12:22am

Yeah once you draft them you can do what ever you like with them

you can do literally anything you want with you picks, split them yourself on your show even

I'm not sure, I don't think it has any of the years I've taken part at least. Very happy with the combo

Sorry about that. That’s a great find Nitro. I flagged AJ for sure but entirely forgot about the multi arena nature of Mania 2.

Bounty Hunter · 08-01-2021 2:13am

Shows how Cody's stock has risen, got him and Goldie in rd4 last year and remember being very pleased that I jumped on that pick early then. May be bigger solo names but not many with as big potential to write for as characters and that goes for both guys

wrestlemaniac · 08-01-2021 9:53am

Pick made, PM sent.

Delighted to add one half of one of the most influential tag teams of all time to the roster.
Nothing nailed down idea wise yet, but Hardy gives me a range of paths to go down.

Necro · 08-01-2021 9:58am

Liking how some of the rosters are shaping up thus far, Bryan and Punk is tasty!

Ditto with Matt and Edge, and HHH and the Rhodes Bros is money waiting to be printed too

Necro · 08-01-2021 10:02am

That's not forgetting Randy Savage and Eddie as well, only after noticing that!

Intrigued by Nitros picks though, Bulldogs and Pac is an interesting mix and could be brilliant

thebostoncrab · 08-01-2021 10:07am

Now I hate to be that guy, but Nakamura is an IWGP champ, so can’t be drafted as part of a team

My mistake

Assumed once Eddie was it was fine, but may have the draft order incorrect on that one

will take him out!!

Cesaro shall be a lonely cyborg

paulie21 · 08-01-2021 10:41am

Happy to pick up Drew there

bennyl10 · 08-01-2021 10:48am

Does Drew fall into the same rule as Shin? or WWE counts not?

Sorry first time on the roundabout!

Drew works since he is being drafted by himself. The way the world title rule works with tag teams is that you cannot draft someone as a tag team if they won either the WWE, TNA, IWGP, WCW or NWA (Pre-TNA year) world title.

ah perfect!!

Thank you for the explanation

No worries! The world title rule can cause some confusion on the first go. Nothing worse though than picking a team only to discover someone won one of the belts for an obscure amount of time that flew under the radar!

Necro · 08-01-2021 10:57am

Yeah TBC has covered it well, you can pick any singles star as long as they've won a tag belt in WWE, but if you're drafting a tag team you need to make sure:

A) Both have won tag gold in WWE (for this round as per the stip)

they fall under the tag team rule as per OP
C) Neither have won one of the 'recognised' world titles (in draft terms anyways).
