Wrestling Draft 2014 - Page 5 - Wrestling -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

By the way, while not at the level of draw that Hogan/Austin/Rock were, I'd probably put Flair closer to Cena than HBK in terms of draw. Cena has done some crossover but never really succeeded...still had enough exposure to be known a bit outside of wrestling. I think Flair is much the same way. He's got some level of notoriety particularly in the South even outside of wrestling circles. I think that HBK is really only known by wrestling fans.

HBK does have that hunting show that's pretty big. I think he could be a fairly big draw in Texas and other southern states.

I think there's two undrafteds that I would put ahead of him. Not far, but clearly enough for me that I'm pretty sure I'd go to one of them first. But again it's close enough that I think it falls within personal preference range to take him at 6 and not have it be too much of a mistake.

Go on then. darO can stay at the end if he wants to keep the double picks though.

HHH is a decent pick, I had him down the list a bit at #12 on my own board but you can make an argument for him here.

Adding a person ****s with the spreadsheet, I'll do this one fix but hopefully we can cut it off there.

A part of me thought there was enough HHH hate that he might be able to get back to me.

Probably worth asking: are non-wrestlers such as managers and valets draftable as well?

They usually are, so I'm guessing he'll tell you yes.

Is the cap of 50 maximum wrestlers rigid? We went 100 last time and many didn't get that far before wrapping up their drafts, but I enjoyed drafting a full 100 myself.

My dreams of a HBK/Bryan match are crushed.

Not bad. I knew Bryan was never getting back to me. Obviously still-active wrestlers are difficult to rate. I had him 14th on my board but I can't hate on this pick.

Of course. You can draft anyone who has ever appeared on a wrestling show. However if they only appeared once, you can only use them once etc.
