I hate shinobimusashi so god damn bad right now. I picked Pillman figuring Owen had more of a chance of making it around to me and past Shin twice. And then it looked like he was going a different direction with his roster so I figured I was safe - and bam there goes Owen and there goes my Hart Foundation. I like 20 picks and we can still do steals. I don't remember if you force people to use all their picks or not but the more the merrier. Wrestling only gets deeper every year we do this so it should be fine.

I was hoping Owen would last until the next round but shinobimusashi made sure that wouldn't happen. Oh well. I can't complain too much. Not after getting Sting in the 3rd round. I'm cool with 20 picks. Maybe knock it down to one steal per round rather than two? I hate shinobimusashi so god damn bad right now.

Wrestling only gets deeper every year we do this so it should be fine. The problem with only doing one steal is that you end up with an uneven number of wrestlers. I know that's easy to fix and isn't an issue for me personally, but I recall people being a bit annoyed by that idea in the past. I'm with UT. Half the reason I don't write fan fic anymore is because I don't have enough time. The other half is because there is literally a billion active wrestlers on the planet and any time I come up with an idea I immediately get deflated because something cool happens and I'm like "That's better than what I was going to do..."

That's why I don't really have a desire to draft old-timey historical guys when it comes to these drafts. I mean, I know it makes it more difficult to win 'cause y'all are a bunch of old fucks, but there's so many people active now and they all rule. There's more than enough active talent without having to resort to my fed needing a way back machine.

I have fun putting a show together of current wrestlers I like. For the record I love the idea of Bryan Danielson vs. Matt Riddle. And you guys would be surprised. WMS used to crush this thing by drafting nothing but 2005 ROH guys and the odd big WWE name like Eddie Guerrero or someone to that effect. The best I ever did in this draft was when I only drafted Canadians and photoshopped event posters for a Canadian Wrestling Tour. All I did was change the font colour and the location for each show and mix up the card a bit. I made the finals but lost (pretty sure I lost to WMS too). To be totally fair I had Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Edge & Christian, Kevin Steen and El Generico all on my roster, among others. It got hard around the 12th pick once I went past Killer Kowalski and Abdullah The Butcher. I was drafting guys like Dino Bravo. :lol:

This is too much to read to catch up on. Here's my two cents: 1) shinobimusashi was fucking people up even before this Owen debacle; i.e., ME with his fucking Warrior pick! 2) I say twenty picks, with up to two steals, but a steal has to replace someone on your current roster so as to keep your overall headcount at 20. Bam!

I don’t know what I was doing wrong though! Tagging is so annoying. It makes me feel older then I am.
But honestly, damn you PB! My 1A was Benoit and I had him a lot higher then my 1B/1C. My 1b/1c were very tight though but I went with Rollins due to the awesome matches he has been having lately.

I like the way we did the last draft, 20 picks, 2 steals each round and the option to not use every wrestler on your roster for a card(the good bookers will find ways to use everyone, EVERYONE!). ![](https://media.giphy.com/media/7cTTE2Z1OmrFm/giphy.gif) I don't like the idea of losing two picks with the two steals. Also I think we jumped the gun last time and started double picks at round 9 instead of round 11

Missing that first pick really sucks. Try missing two of your first three picks. Speaking of which, is kemis ok? I'm really digging RT's and @show's rosters so far. And Baker's (of course), @thekid's, PB's, and Jeff's. And even pduh is giving me my Lesnar/Shibata dream match. This is gonna be a tough competition, for sure.

Updated the main post. I slacked this weekend.
I'll message kemis on Twitter. If he's unable to continue someone may have to take over for him.

If Kemis misses his pick, is he out? I hope he's OK. If he does get eliminated, I propose The Dazz gets Rock just to tidy things up. OCD! OCD! OCD!

As much as I like the idea of getting Rock as you proposed, I'd much rather Kemis be good and be able to make his picks. Unless he's good and is just too busy for this draft. Mostly just hope things are ok.

I’m cool with The Rock idea, but then one first round match up will have to be a triple threat match which is also cool in my books.
OCD OCD OCD OCD!
