Just a heads up to everybody: PWT is completely free-leech for at least a while, as its their way of thanking the users for something. Either way, get on there and help your ratio.

Punk should bust out a non-alcoholic beer.

I'm really looking forward to tonights edition.

Wow.. 600 down already. I love this draft.

Damn, Burke was still around? Nice.

OOG and Drury have both missed their picks, so unless i'm mistaken, we skip them both on the return, don't we? Garth pm'd me his pick, so if anyone has a problem (Judging by their rosters anyway, I can't see them drafting the following) we can rescind this, but it should be okay. On behalf of Garth For my next pick I will be choosing another international star. A man who has won titles in both America and Japan. He has appeared on national TV as recently as last month. He is a former Best of the Super Juniors, former ICW/ICWA Tex-Arkana Television Champion and former Dragon Gate Open the Triangle Gate Champion. He has the best invisible dog in the business and is a stablemate of Goto in R.I.S.E. He is none other than Milano Collection A.T.

It's back up.

Bob, you've got me all wrong. I'm not arguing against better working conditions, if it were up to me, then yes, I'd give them what they needed to safeguard their health. I was only putting my point over that if a man willingly agrees to sign a contract for somebody, then they should adhere to the rules they agreed to. Workers know the situation, it's been well documented for many years among workers. But, and i've got nothing else to add to my point now, so i'll stop now, they know what they're getting into. If they're good enough to work for the biggest promotion in America, then they're good enough to find work elsewhere in the country.

I know it can be disputed, the job I had before this, I was a manager and people were always trying to pull or claim things. I guess i'm an idealist, I just think a man should be as good as his word, and a signed contract is a man's word.

I type words _like_ _this_ just to make them stand out, I dont like shouting or things of that nature. Sorry if that pissed you off.. & no, i'm no expert on how the law works, I just assume (sorry, so had to resist the urge to do it with that word) that if you knowingly sign a contract, then you know what you're getting into and you stick to it. At least, that's the way it should be.

I might be wrong, but I though WWE considered itself as an entertainment entity and not a sport, which would make them exempt from a state AC. Because then they would have to test the wrestlers for things that are not covered in the "wellness" policy, which almost every one of them would fail. Again, though, I have to stress the most important part of this issue. They ARE independent contractors, but they signed a contract of EXCLUSIVITY. Therefore, they made the decision to not perform elsewhere voluntarily. That bullshit though, because if they didnt sign the contract of exclusivity, they wouldn't even be hired. So what? WWE isn't the only place in North America for a wrestler to work. Further more, they have the _choice_ to sign the contract knowing they can't work elsewhere if they do, it's not like it is sprung on them halfway through their contract. It's like the place I work at, they have, _have_, to work weekends as part of every contract. Everybody does. They know what conditions they'll have to work under. The fact they know what they're getting themselves in for should be enough for that to not count as a reason.

But still, any idea why it's been down for this long?

PFFFFFFFT. Regal will always have his Real Man music. That alone makes it memorable for years.

That's over 2 years old champ, it was only the last post that I bumped. I've got an account with a healthy ratio.

Oh, swish.

Or Buddy "The Heartthrob"

Yep. Bristol City vs Derby is on Sky next week, as you'll already know deano.

I was actually gonna draft him later on!

Excuses: We had 9 new starters today, therefore couldn't gel together. We had the majority of the play, just couldn't put the ball in the net. We were unlucky because there goal was offside. Reality: League One, here we come!

*bump* PWTorrents has been down again for a while now. They recently moved servers, does anybody know why they are now down (and have been for a while)?

This is ridiculous. We overran them for the first hour (or so Sky Sports News tells me) and then they scored an offside goal (or so Paul Merson tells me) and now they're just keeping the ball. Pah, I cant believe this, first game of the season isn't even over yet and i'm already making excuses. This is bad.

Football's back!!

Hawk52, JHawk and Hawk 34. Damn, no wonder some random people got random pm's.

If memory serves, he made reference to HHH sleeping his way to the top and staying there.

Somebody call your mama!
