I thought about that part after. That sucks cause there are a couple of cases of guys I could have pull double duty and in the spirit of the draft

By the way, it's never been clarified if these guys would be fighting for vacant titles or if there would be a champion.

But my plan would definitely be for heel HBK as champion with Bruno booked to win it over him in the Garden. I'm booking Bruno to win either way, and a title retention would never go over nearly as big.

We should be allowed to do what we want imo.

Yeah I agree. Put the strap on whoever you want for the title matches, or have it be vacant, or have it be two dudes claiming to be the real champion and both have belts...whatever.

Yeah go for it, that's just three hours of Burdz but that's plenty. He's picking another woman apparently. He's skipped.

That was DWetzel's backup choice. But he gets his primary choice now.

Judy is up for two picks, but probably no rush since DWetz indicated that we'll be waiting a bit on him.

I'm not sure if DWetz is okay with me picking for him, but we did discuss what his next pick would likely be.

Also, our top two picks are now Steve Austin and Bret Hart. I'm not positive he wants to main event that, but if he does then we have one hell of a combo there.

Yeah, we'll see how things develop.

I will be in and out, but should be back full time by 2:00 server time. Can't even really set a queue.

Pretty easy pick here for my 2nd round:

Spoiler:


Lita

It doesn't get much better as far as women's rivalries go than Lita vs. Trish Stratus. Lita is a great in-ring talent who can do ok on the mic, and get massive heat as a heel as well as face pops when needed. She even owns a pinfall victory over UNDRAFTED FORMER 1MB!



Burdz Card:
Trish Stratus
Lita

Welp, littlekeed will be pissed anyway.

Now I have to think. Trade offers also gratefully solicited.

Yeah Steamboat is obviously a great pick.

Road Warriors obviously the best tag team but I think Judy has a massive commitment to overvaluing tag teams in every draft.

I agree I do overvalue tag teams. There are a few guys I want who I think I can still get. Doubt warriors are there when it gets back to me.

I wanted angle savage and punk knew I prolly wasn't getting any of them tho

Burdz has PM'd me a pick, so I'm thinking that DWetzel could start off a pick run when he goes.

Well, far be it from me to hold up the draft, so, with our 3rd pick, we'll confirm that we are NOT running with an Austin/Hart main event. Defending his title against Stone Cold at Wetzelmania will be:

Spoiler:


Harley Race


I think Race and Austin will have a great mesh of styles, and Race can definitely play the heel role if we need to. Our title event is going to be a slobberknocker.

Damn thought I could get him later

LOL no.

Debated between Race and UNDRAFTED for this pick (and will be interested to see the debate between the two), with a side of going a completely different direction entirely.

Shame to lose Austin-Hart, but that does open up nice possibilities for Bret as midcard champ or in a co-main event.

I could also change my mind again later. But, for smarter or dumber, I'm sort of trying to shy away from easy rematches for once.

Nothing really to add other than I love this draft/idea, really can't wait to see the cards put together. This is the kind of stuff I mainly do with wrestling video games, but adding the aspect of your reasoning and the write-ups makes it over the top.

I added a second sheet to the spreadsheet to neatly list everyone's picks. When you add your picks to the first sheet it would be cool if you added to your roster on the second also.
