Well that stip for R2 kinda messes up what I had planned!

Haha, that's the beauty of the draft :pac:

The flip side is that in round 3 there's likely to be a plethora of huge names available.

Mr. Guappa · 08-01-2019 9:06am

Pick made and PM sent to MNG.

Bounty Hunter · 08-01-2019 9:56am

After Becky going so early I was wondering if someone would snap Ronda up. Could be hard to compete against some womens divisions without getting someone in the first few rounds this year

Yeah, I kind of expected Rousey and Lynch to go early. Was considering drafting Becky myself tbh but wanted Balor more. Facepaint and all :pac:

Lord TSC · 08-01-2019 2:55pm

Not even looking at picks till I see who MNG goes with.

I'm hopeful with my picks so close together, I can try and think of a duo who pair up well.

Mr.Nice Guy · 08-01-2019 6:50pm

I'll have my pick up shortly.

Edit: Pick made and PM sent. Looking forward to using this character which I always preferred to his later character.

Lord TSC · 08-01-2019 7:55pm

Will work on my pick now

Yeah, 'Legend Killer' Orton was unreal, bonafide main event stuff.

His later stuff.... yeah let's save that for another thread :pac:

Looking forward to seeing what your plans are for him though!

daithi1989 · 08-01-2019 7:59pm

Ah The Guy from DPW wont be returning for a 3rd run! He's easy to write for - enjoy MNG!

ShagNastii · 08-01-2019 8:27pm

“Legend Killer” Randy Orton was an absolute killer gimmick #punintended

Thought sure Jericho might have went through to round 2 and somebody would have tried bag him. Surprised that he was in fact born IN the States.

Ruat Caelum · 08-01-2019 8:40pm

Had to nab Jericho when I could, one of the greatest all round performers of all time.

It is really tough to overlook guys you really like and have an affinity to (have had before). I think I’ve purposely chosen different people every year to change things up. You notice year in year out some characters are just so easy to “write” no matter who they share a roster with.

daithi1989 · 08-01-2019 8:57pm

I deliberated between Cena and DIY - was so hoping they would slide through. Right... Back to the drawing board!

Lord TSC · 08-01-2019 9:12pm

DIY were also my next pick too :P

beakerjoe · 08-01-2019 9:23pm

After 3 years, ill miss DIY.... i was going to draft them again too

Lord TSC · 08-01-2019 9:25pm

OH! Spotted a tag team I've never had before and can't resist

ShagNastii · 08-01-2019 9:34pm

That team have gone as a duo the last few years but wasn’t Kenny world champ this year?

Necro · 08-01-2019 9:35pm

Yeah it's not a legal pick unfortunately. I've PMed Lord to change it

Lord TSC · 08-01-2019 9:40pm

Ah, sorry, didn't know that title was involved.

Will remove one of them, but still want Omega :P

Can't remember whether it was beaker or BH that introduced the IWGP belt as a World Title. I think it was beaker as it was definitely since I started playing anyways.

Ah well, no harm done, cheers for that Lordie!

beakerjoe · 08-01-2019 9:47pm

Think it was about 2 years ago I added the IWGP title in due to popular demand.

Kenny is a pick Id love. Had no plans to draft him but had he lasted hed have been snapped up.

JP Liz V1 · 08-01-2019 10:08pm

I knew given the stip this round Bret wouldn't last for my pick, some great interesting picks

daithi1989 · 08-01-2019 10:29pm

Have my pick waiting and ready to go - lets stand back and watch Guappa steal them on me!

Mr. Guappa · 08-01-2019 11:39pm

Some cracking picks tonight. DIY were my next pick too, haha!!

JP Liz V1 · 09-01-2019 12:26am

And there goes Edge

Necro · 09-01-2019 7:13am

Christ, some amount of picks last night - absolutely mowing through Round 2.

Necro · 09-01-2019 7:24am

Round 3 order up.

No stipulations this next round.

Sweet ! also damn knew I should have waited (only a few hours in the end) to see the draw order, could have put more thought into my last pick. That said mostly schweeet

:P I might have held off then (probably wouldn't).

I think generally after the 10th person has picked is a fair time to update the round order each time (assuming I'm available of course :pac: ).

SlickRic · 09-01-2019 10:19am

honestly, i feel guilty having such a good number for Round 3.

If you feel so guilty, I will help ya with that burden

Necro · 09-01-2019 10:57am

Joys of randomisation I guess folks

On the other hand, I feel there's a plethora of massive stars still available for everyone in round 3, which can only be a good thing I suppose.

I'm nervous about this next pick, had a list of 5 drawn up, all still available. But one I really, really want.

Bounty Hunter · 09-01-2019 12:40pm

Apart from Team DIY (might have taken them round 1 if i'd known about the rd2 stip) I think I am now going to pass up the only other pick I had a angle thought up for in the next round of picks because of my early number. Changing plans is the fun of the draft though and with 15 instead of 20 this year there is some great talent available for everyone in rd3 this year especially after the stips.

Colour me intrigued on your next pick :pac:

beakerjoe · 09-01-2019 12:48pm

I have a lot to ponder for my next 2 picks. Really have a few directions I could go. Just gonna see whos available to me when my number is up.

Stip free and with 10 more picks still on the board compared to other years it's like rd1 again.

DM_7 · 09-01-2019 1:47pm

Very happy with my DIY pick to see so many had them in mind.

I wanted to pick them a few years back but they did not meet the tag requirements at that stage.

They have gone up in value each year. Johnny Gargano ended up standing tall as World Champ in my promotion last year.

He, is my favourite current wrestler. His recent turn was fantastic, not only because it was done so well by all involved, but he has had the diverse range to pull it off.

There's actually a few teams drafted even last year that probably don't qualify under the new addition to the tag rule this year. Not sure if that's good or bad, but I guess we can review after this year concludes.

Has a change been made? I think I missed it if so.

Aye. I removed the eligible promotions rule so anyone (as long as they have had a match somewhere and it can be proven) can be drafted, but to compensate I added this to the tag rule:

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

Basically so if someone wants to draft Fred the Red, the amazing daredevil from Manchester you can't just take Gunnersaurus alongside him unless they were a team in the above promotions.

What defines 3 months under this rule?

Is tagging 3 times in a three month period enough to make you a team? ie once in May, then once in June and once in July?

Does a WWE feeder fed like NXT or FCW count as an eligible promotion?

NXT counts, correct. Your above interpretation would be acceptable as long as they were straight tag team matches (not 6 man tags, mixed gender matches etc).

As for other feds, bring me the evidence and I'll consider it case by case

A Brad Maddox Guy · 09-01-2019 3:05pm

Haha gutted about round 3. I know there's gonna be loads of names left but almost definitely not the one I want most. It'll be at least 6 if not 7 o'clock before I can make my pick so feel free to take your time Al!

SlickRic · 09-01-2019 4:27pm

I always forget that Kane was born in Spain.

Solid pick.

Necro · 09-01-2019 4:29pm

Noooooo Alfred there goes my demon VS demon plans!

Ah well. It was one of the plots I was throwing around in my head but he wasn't 'the' person I want.

Apologies man, logical fit with Taker which was too good to turn down :pac:

I still dont know who I want this round. A few names that come to mind would be good picks.

Yeah, quite a few actually. Was doing some extra reconnaissance over my lunch break.
