    Cena is the one I was close to pulling the trigger on before I changed course to the (obviously superior :pac:) Hitman pick.

    I had Bret before and I feel I didnt do him justice. I would have liked another crack at him.

    Hes one of my favs.

    From trying to see who was eligible, I believe I was wrong with this. Necro says they have to be show closers.

    Yeah sorry folks if it was ambiguous, matches going on last was my intention. So AJ gets in on a technicality, which was a clever pick by tbc as the Boneyard match made him eligible.

    But World title matches that kicked off the show even with a Rumble winner or buried in the card - they don't count. Soz!

    I'm gonna put up the second round stip later this eve as we're motoring through the list and I can't post much during working hours.

    Yup AJ was the last name I wrote on my list, simply because I forgot that Mania was two nights this year, so I skipped his name on the wiki article. But when I saw the rule about WM 3 then the Boneyard Match came straight to mind.

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

    I’ll let things stir a bit before I show my hand* :D

    I thought I picked Bundy in the year I had a roster filled with goliaths but nope, one that I didn't pick up funnily enough.

    I'm intrigued about it though, it's an interesting pick that stands out given the more traditional talent that is still available :)

    I havent been this intrigued in a pick since Crabman drafted a woman in round 1 way before the womens revolution.

    Im also sure I saw C-Man draft him 5 or so years ago. I know someone drafted him with a tag partner one year.

    Its a bold move Cotton.

    Bold moves have a tendency to pay off in the draft.

    Crabman and his Womens exculsive fed was a refreshing change. I always love seeing non main eventers pushed into the main event too.

    Myself and Steph share equal credit for actually inventing women’s wrestling.

    Pick made and PM sent to ABMG.

    Have got a few tentative ideas and directions I can go with Edge so more than happy with the pick.

    PS what's the easiest way to add images?

    I use chrome for images, just type it into the image search, right click and copy image address then paste using the [IMG][/IMG] tags on boards

    Seth and Edge gone. Both certs to be picked this round.

    Ill always remember Edge in the draft from MNGs 2017 run. The delightful way he surprised us with his introduction was so innovative.

    Rollins new heel persona is so underrated, its a pity the booking in WWE did him no favors. I expect Maniac to do better.

    I was torn on what way to go there. I like to go with people I haven't had before but remaining from the list I made at the very start were three people I had on my roster just last year, then I had Bryan the year before and the other person in my 3rd or 4th year. In the end I decided to go for the man behind one of my favourite Wrestlemania finishes ever.

    I'm rather surprised Hunter and Bryan lasted as long as they did - HHH is another one I'd love to have - haven't booked him before. Both great picks.

    I was choosing between The Undertaker and someone else. I've just copped that the other person isn't eligible in this round.
