Do we go to double picks after 8?

Yes

...

The Dazz thank you for making my mind up for me.

I was on the fence about doing an AEW theme for my roster but only if one of Kenny Omega or Jon Moxley got back to me.

I have a really weird Plan B, but I don’t think I have the balls to do it. I’ll share later on if I decide not to bother.

I was 99% sure I was going to draft Punk once he was still available in the second round. Would have made a natural pairing with Bryan and I don’t think anyone’s drafted both of those guys together. But, I’ve had Punk in the past and I feel like Angle is a lot more versatile when it comes to matching him with different wrestlers.

Draft CM Punk in the second round?

Don’t mind if I do.

Punk doesn't carry the weight he once did in this draft. I remember when he was a guaranteed top 3 pick. Now I'm not that surprised.

People are over him since he walked away and sued his best friend.

I have to think that back when WMS was doing an ROH 2005 roster every draft he picked them together. But back then that was only popular with the smarks on the board. People were more interested in who was going to create the best John Cena dream match or Undertaker retirement match. :lol:

I used to be such a mark for him. I mean, I revolved an entire project around the guy. One thing I'll always thank him for -- getting me back into wrestling with the pipe bomb. He's an insufferable douche otherwise and most everything afterwards was a massive disappointment. Sure, there was the Ryback debacle and the WWE's expected mishandling of the situation + more, but fuuuuckkk -- the guy would blow himself if he could.

In hindsight, WWE honestly did us a favor by having privacy invader Kevin Nash squash the little pepsi-drinking bastard.

In other news, I've been banging my head against a desk realizing I could have had The Hitman had I just checked the damn site. Hart is like the rosetta stone of dream matches. *cries in a corner*

Damn Jeff coming in with that...

And yeah, that is some serious second-hand cringe posting that.

He may not carry the same weight he did a few years back. But everyone still lost their crap when he just made a brief appearance on WWE programming last year.

He retired in 2014 and he has been a first round draft every year since. Including last year. When you drafted him first round. :\

Also, his name hasn’t been revealed yet in the Favorite Wrestler Countdown meaning he will place in the overall top 10.

He better not.

Also, gotta respect bodyslam drafting madeup wrestlers!

Honestly when thinking of the top 10 Punk wasn't even registering, but the fact that he hasn't come in yet means he likely is.

I liked him for a while, but grew tired of the guy before his walkout. I was on his side until the Colt stuff (the sueing not the podcast).

He definitely is. I believe he was my top 5. I regret not putting Sasha in front on him. I’ve grown tired of him outside of wrestling although watching him and Bret shoot the shit on Backstage was a treat. He’s a shit bag in real life but I strictly base my enjoyment on in ring stuff since a lot of wrestlers are shit bags in real life.

Oh and I know you’ve been having your hate post ready since the countdown started. Lol

Honestly, I don't know why I hate Punk so much. It's not like he's even remotely as bad as Dean Ambrose.

Hey man, all I said was it wasn’t very surprising. He was my 2nd pick with a bullet if he got back to me, but I wasn’t expecting it.

He’s in my top 3 on the fav wrestler countdown.

Nia Jax as a 2nd pick is definitely a first.

I’m trying to remember a weird pick a long time ago. Someone took someone completely unexpected way early, like in the first round maybe. But I can’t remember what the pick was.

This is definitely up there with that.

Fucking RESPECT for the Nia Jax pick. My vote secured.

Dammit I wanted Owen :/

Should pick Fergus Ferguson on your turn so he can't add the live sex celebration to his card.

pduh how dare you

If only his ring name was Ric/k/y/h/hie/hard (or Dick) Ferguson, I would!

pduh straight up robbed me. Was totally going to do Kevin Owens vs his idol and namesake, Owen Hart. I HAD A WHOLE THING PLANNED.

I should have picked Owen first. Everyone always takes him early. FRIG.

HBK vs. Okada makes me hard though. Can't not like that.

When Show said he wanted "Owen" I was gonna say the inventor of the sharpshooter IS available, but that is now a lie.

I have no game plan for this. I’m here to defend my title though so I need to come up with a plan.

Four picks in like 10 minutes...Then, no picks.

The one that always stuck with me was Nobi taking Cesaro in the first round- 4th overall iirc. Nobi didn't even like Cesaro.

That might be exactly what I’m thinking of. Yes I think that is it.

AM mentioned Raven to me. For some reason that rings a bell too. Like someone grabbed him waaayyyy early and we all did a “WTF? None of us were going to pick him any time soon.”

System was just here too. We obviously hurt his feelings re: Nia Jax.

Do we just...fucking mention the names of guys who haven't been picked in the discussion now?! Is that not taboo anymore? The fuck?

I was too busy daydreaming about Nia Jax Samoan dropping me off a building and didn’t realise I got tagged again.

Carry on.

I have zero plan right now. Everything has been a last second pick. I now have one person hopefully in mind and maybe I can work something out, but if he gets taken, I’m just picking first name off my head.

I had a busy schedule.

I have a fucking spreadsheet that I'm forcing myself to stick to. Can't wait to do research on the picks I will inevitably take that I've never seen wrestle.
