Lony Also FUCK. I needed Roddy in my next round.

Lony don't let #HEEL Jeff get away with not tagging.

Thanks for helping out lovelies. I didn’t want to hold things up but I’m out and about getting some chores done and was at a red light when I made my pick.

@ness, I'm still using nicknames, just for you bud. :coolthumb:

Check the av bro. He was always mine!

That was who I was talking about in my reply to KITN . I was like “I’m the only one allowed to pick him this early!”

If I had a different plan, I definitely would have drafted Hangman. But I have a vision. 

Yea, well your vision sucks. Mostly cause it involves taking guys I planned on using.

He's def worse than @james.

When Alex said "Roddy" I damn near had a heart attack before checking the draft list. So yeah, I almost definitely jumped the gun on this. But still.

Roddy Strong was on my vision dream board, but in a much lower tier than Roddy Piper.

Was like 40 people into this before someone finally stole someone from my list. And it's AM of all people.

With that, I just drafted both Emperor's and @ness' favorite wrestler.

That's twice Baker.

One more and *clicks pen*

Baker can lick my butt.

I will make my pick shortly. Figuring out dinner before Dynamite starts.

It’s about time RT acknowledge his founder and veepee.

@ness is Flair the guy you kept referring to? I'm so confused! If so, it did pain me to see Flair fall so low, but I didn't REALLY want to take him because I've had him in like half a dozen drafts. Plus Lawler already beat Flair a few Lawlermanias back to claim the title of undisputed GOAT. Running Lawler/Flair again would have been redundant. Yet if Flair fell far enough (a few more rounds) I would have felt obligated to take him after all. Even came up with a tag team idea for him just in case.

EDIT: and within seconds of posting this Jeff took the guy who was going to team with Flair in my tag team idea

I'm doing something fairly obsure in this draft which means 2 things.

For once I'm doing a basic, straightforward card with minimal wackiness. Well, aside from my planned main event. That'll at least have a lengthy backstory. But interesting doesn't really sell here and I don't much feel like putting in a ton of work anyway. 

You took two guys that were "next".

Looking at Tanahashi on your show with your picks... dude I wanna SEE IT.

Vs. Who? Look at Bakermans's picks and tell me there isn't an OBVIOUS answer.

Damn. I wanted Arn, but he was far from essential on my card. When do we switch to double picks?

That's the beauty of Tanahashi! He matches up well with basically everybody. I've already got his three matches lined up assuming I make it to the finals. And maybe I will! Since I'm going the basic bitch route this year rather than booking for the amusement of two (and one of them is gone ).  

looking at the last 4 picks got me curious how long can this trend keep going?

11th pick.

Tanahashi is a guy I wanted, hell I almost took him over ZSJ. Ultimately though, I went with Zack, so I could pair him up with Dragunov.

I'm going to give KITN about a half hour or so. If he doesn't pick by then, I'm going to get some sleep, and I'll pick first thing in the morning.

I would've given him more time had he not taken Claudio from me...

bodyslam you're up brother.

1st jTjohncenaGOAT takes Jake and messes up plan A  and now KITN takes Raven messes up plan B. 

Thanks to @ness and bodyslam for making my job easier with those Flair & HHH picks. Give me a few minutes. This next pick is getting all the bells and whistles.

Baker I'm here for you.

Whoops. Forgot to tag. RT you're up.

Took a gamble. Figured I'd be able to pick up a bunch of highly respected big names to shore up the midcard before grabbing my headliner. I was right. 

No joke if Baker didn’t take Double J with this pick I was going to steal him out of spite. I don’t even need him (although Cody Rhodes vs Jeff Jarrett….?)

Give me a few mins I need to check my list. Which is on my laptop. In my truck.

Perfect timing by RT. I was going to sleep after one last PW check regardless of whether he picked or not.
It was between Gunther and one other wrestler for this round. Don't think either one would have made it to my next pick, but decided I had a slightly better shot with the other guy.
