Ok I have my main event in my head so I am now expecting you all to ruin it on me

:pac:

Mr. Guappa · 08-01-2021 11:17am

I think the order for this round posted in the Picks thread is wrong? It has me picking before beakerjoe, which is wrong - I picked before him last round. That is the only mistake, I think?

It's listed as:
7 paulie21
8 ShagNastii
9 Mr. Guappa
10 beakerjoe
11 thebostoncrab
12 daithi1989

But should be:
7 paulie21
8 ShagNastii
9 Mr. Guappa beakerjoe
10 beakerjoe Mr. Guappa
11 thebostoncrab
12 daithi1989

Happy with Mox. He was the one guy I had any real plan for this year.

Shag is going to build a roster out of the best picks that have never been drafted in the last 5 years right? Im a Quebecers fan, how can you not remember them fondly.

Cesaro is one of my favs. He took BCW by storm in my first winning year with his own Indy 4 Horsemen.

Still some fantastic picks available. My list has 4 lads who i assumed would be gone by now.

I had one guy who was on a shortlist of 5 for my first round pick, who is still available now. I think I'm going to have to pick him, even though I'm not sure I'll put him against Bret. Loads of top drawer picks still out there.

I'll have my pick up in the next hour or so, just need to ponder a bit - it's all moving so fast!

Agreed. At this rate I'll need to put up Round 3 this eve...

I'm in a similar boat, so I'm hoping your pick makes it easy for me! I have a name that, if it get's to me, I can't skip just because of the potential, and I honestly didn't think they would last this long, but if you pick them then my back-up is more of a planned storyline side of things. So currently doing a ton of back and forth on my notepad!

NITRO95 · 08-01-2021 11:40am

I think instead of picking huge names you are better off picking guys/gals that fit into where you want to go. Obviously if a huge name is available and can fit then go for it but I always find by the last couple of rounds that there is some massive names available for trade because they don't fit in anywhere

I had this happen last year, I remember drafting someone big really early, might have been my second or third pick, but I had zero use for them and ended up trading them away. Now, to be honest, the trade worked out nicely because I got two wrestlers for the price of one, but that's the gamble!

Necro · 08-01-2021 11:53am

I'm still afraid to make plans lol, I've a lost of 5 or 6 for this round and funnily enough only one (Cody and Goldie) is gone.

That could all change in a few picks though :pac:

I never learn! Every year I start make plans straight away, and every year those plans shift and change dramatically!

Yes it happens, but I prefer to plan and dream. Yes it can easily be dashed, but when its dashed I move on to the next brainwave.

I have 1 plan and I hope I can grab the one guy later who can make it work. Hopefully i can grab them at round 4 or 5 depending on the stips.

If he gets drafted I will be sad, but then comes the fun of replacing him.

Literally went through 3 or 4 people to face Reigns. 2 have gone so a flip of a coin now for me

Mr. Guappa · 08-01-2021 12:15pm

Pick made and PM sent. I have a plan in mind for Batista, so don't feel like it's a big name pick for the sake of it.

thebostoncrab · 08-01-2021 12:31pm

And I get my planned pick! Now the real fun starts, trying to get through the draft with my ideal storyline in place!

daithi1989 · 08-01-2021 12:49pm

I just have a query in with Necro and will have my pick up after!

I was so close to drafting hin for a 3rd time. Love Flair.

You know how I feel about him, one of the best wrestlers and personalities ever.

Ive always been proud of my feuds with Flair, esp last years

SlickRic · 08-01-2021 1:21pm

I'd pay for prime Flair v prime AJ. not that that is definitely where you're going.

again, no idea if Bret/Batista is the plan, but Bret v entitled, arrogant Big Dave is all sorts of potential win.

Necro · 08-01-2021 1:47pm

We are absolutely MOWING through round 2 :eek:

I'll have round 3 up as soon as I get home and sorted round 5.30/6pm

08-01-2021 1:55pm

PM sent to (the definitely correct one) Mr.Nice Guy

'Rowdy' Roddy Piper

SWF Roster
Kurt Angle
'Rowdy' Roddy Piper

This is one of my favorite entrances ever. Pipers facial expressions sell this match better than any words could.

Bounty Hunter · 08-01-2021 2:00pm

feels so weird seeing another BWA promotion. Be prepared to be accidently invaded / have shots taken at you inadvertently by MNG, Walt and maybe even Beaker :pac:

Still don't have as much as a list done up but Flair & Piper from recent picks were people who went through my mind. good picks

Uncle Walt · 08-01-2021 2:02pm

Some dream match main events in the pipeline from people thus far.. gonna be very interesting

"BWA's are ten a penny, but there is only one BCW!"

Something like that ? :pac:

beakerjoe · 08-01-2021 2:18pm

20th next round, thankfully I had no planned pick..... lets see where we are come 30 picks time.

The White Wolf · 08-01-2021 2:34pm

3rd round is a free for all so regardless of promotion? Within the rules of course.

The joys of the random draw unfortunately. Someone gotta go last.

Mr. Guappa · 08-01-2021 3:37pm

I have a query on the tag team rule

- Must have tagged together for at least 3 months in WWE, AEW, TNA, ROH, NJPW or anything historically going under the NWA banner.

So, does that rule out teams that tagged exclusively in WCW or ECW (or indeed Mexico, AJPW, etc.)?

Sorry, I know it's a rabbit hole, just wanted to check!

That probably needs a bit of tinkering. Definitely wouldn't be ruling out tag teams from WCW or ECW

ShagNastii · 08-01-2021 3:53pm

WCW and ECW tag mates are definitely in consideration.

Legit as hell feds and so many great teams came from both.

I had other options, but hoping my list lasts another round or 3!

connemara man · 08-01-2021 5:12pm

08-01-2021 5:13pm

Feck, just saw the pick order for Round 3.

Necro · 08-01-2021 5:22pm

God I'm so nervous now with Bounty to pick...

So close to my number 1 choice I can taste it :pac:

Bounty Hunter · 08-01-2021 5:28pm

Hope I didn't screw you over Necro... happy to get my pick in before sleep and happy to have gotten those two lads which added to HBK gives me a nice solid base for this year

The White Wolf · 08-01-2021 5:28pm

FFS Bounty.

So close.

It was a toss up between them and Cole/Kyle for me; the fact I had them last year made me swerve, but would have been picking in R3 if they were still available!
