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. Didn’t 🤯 used to refer to Cody a Rhodes as Great Value Jeff Jarrett?

I was very nearly mad about Sabu, but he was more of a stand-by pick than anything.

Yea, outside of Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kurt Angle, I've gotten everyone I've wanted to get so far. I'm kinda worried going into double picks, as there is more risk of losing the people I want.

I’d considered Davey although he would be the second violation of my theme (the first being Samoa Joe who I just totally blanked on being a violation and picked by mistake). If I allow myself a second freebie, it’ll be later in the game if too many of my must haves get taken.

This is the first time I've drafted against my instinct. I went with who I wanted more than who I thought would make it back to me. So far, I've only lost out on three people (Dibiase, Cesaro, and Zayn). It's kind of nice to start with a list of 20 and only having to add 3 new names to it.

It just occurred to me that we're going to double drafts next round. With 12 guys getting drafted before it gets back to me.. there's just no way that I'm getting my next guy(s).

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. One pick later...  Oh well. At least Ness crushed my dreams quickly. Missing out on Sabu, while predictable, is the first one that really hurt. Now I can't run my 1996 mainstream darling vs. underground hero dream match! This also means I have to comb through the draft to see who has and hasn't been picked yet. For the first time yet I have no idea who I'm taking with my next pick. EDIT: Oh goodie. First three names that came to mind haven't been picked yet. I'll be alright after all. HBK/Sabu would have ruled though.

Hate that feeling where you got the pick but don't feel confident about posting so you reread the thread and do some "find in page" to see if anyone slipped in. Having that moment right now. Now it's a draft.

Get it backwards? He doesn’t even follow you when it’s going the other way. had a uno skip card drawn. Bro we need to do an “Uno” draft. Random card generator. Predetermine the talent Pool, set colors and numbers. Wilds (draw from any pool), wild draw four (draw four from any pool), reverse (change draft order), draw 2 (make 2 picks), skip (skip the next person up in the draft). I feel like this would work better in person. Or if there’s a way to simulate an Uno game online.

Seems like it would work online so long as you had someone who drew the cards but wasn’t also participating.

Baker had a uno skip card drawn. Bro we need to do an “Uno” draft. I'm in. Don't even care about the rules. I see Uno and I'm in. ====== Nice FTR pick RT. They were on my radar. Sneaky @ness got me again too. I would have picked MJF instead of Orton but didn't even bother searching for him because I just assumed he'd already been drafted. My loss. Now Ness has two great HBK opponents in Sabu & MJF.

I do think it would be better if each drafter had a "hand" and could decide what card to play. I think I'll see if I can get some friends to try it in person, and if it works/is fun, I will work on making it work online.

One person is essentially DM. They can see the deck and know what cards the other players has. Just a fan fic special guest referee. Just don't try and fuck on people. Fuck it dude, just end the draft and let's play uno online. The next evolution of System 's vidya game.
