In the words of Scruffy I say 'second'. So long as it's acknowledged that LT was a one time only deal when it comes to casting our ballots at the end of this thing. Speaking of which, what's the decision on how we're scoring this thing? Is it going to be votes based off of either the finished roster, or the card that we compose. I can't for the life of me remember what exactly was agreed upon those many moons ago.

It's no big deal if that's the case. My plan was to pick either Kartel/Stone next if I hadn't picked them as a unit anyways. If I skip my next go will it be possible to use the Kartel/Stone seperately as in a tag and a singles, rather than having to use them in a six man or something? I just figured it was fine to pick stables as both the Mean Street Posse and the Coloney had gone as units. It's no skin off my nose though. I'm happy either way, just want to keep things consistent. Also, I hadn't picked any venues for my last two picks so i'm going to go ahead and do that now. I shall have: The Royal Albert Hall in London. A good sized venue that could be used for regular PPVs or bigger TV tapings. A beautiful building. & The Liverpool Olympia.

I thought we were allowed to select stables now though? I didn't realise we forefit our next round pick because of it.

They were the guys that I was most worried about you taking when you mentioned about wanting some UK guys. I'd heard they'd gotten over big during their Trios performance in Chikara, so figured you might be high on them. The three of them are my favourite active UK performers. No one else comes close in my eyes. They're just really, really good.

For my 32nd pick of the All-Time Wrestling Roster Draft, I choose the stable of 'The Firm' They are Martin Stone and The Kartel of Sha Samuels & Terry Frazier.

Bill Alphonso and you don't have Sabu, RVD or Taz? Fail.

Oh trust me, it's a good thing. With the guys you have, be they ECW guys such as Cactus and the bWo, as well as the various Chikara guys you have I can't imagine another venue that would work quite as well. I was hoping it would last back round to you.

If any promotion warranted Viking Hall, it was definitely Stevie's.

As of the front page, here is a map displaying the distribution of our arenas. Draft Map Hope you find it at least somewhat interesting.

God damn, I bet they're exactly who I'm thinking of too. Curses.

I've always really enjoyed his work and always thought it a damn shame he didn't get as much praise as Jody. I thought Storm had a good showing back in the original TNA X Cup. He's also waaaaay more charismatic than Jody could ever dream to be. You can rest easy, I have a group of British guys that I have a lot of love for that I'm planning, should nothing go wrong, on sweeping up in the next couple of rounds.

For my 31st selection I choose: 'The Wonderkid' Jonny Storm I don't have a great deal of crusierweights on my roster, and I thought it was about time I got some more. Storm in particular ties in nicely with the fact that my promotion will be based in England. He's good for the style he works and I think more consistent, although not as spectacular in the ring than the man he was often booked against/with in Jody Fleisch.

Would the choice of further venues be at the expense of a roster pick, if we were to allow that from here on in?

Franchise, it was actually you that sparked the idea of Wembley in my mind. I remember earlier in the thread you talked about a stadium that was excellent that had only been used once, after I sat and thought about for a while I realised you could only be talking about the afore mentioned Wembley.

For my non-wrestler selection I am going to choose someone who's work in the sort of position I envisage him in very much. My plan is not to use this man as a manager specifically, although that may happen. Rather this man will be my company's on screen president. For my 30th pick, I choose: Don 'Cyrus' Callis As he representative of the network in ECW he was fantastic to watch. I plan to have him more or less reprise that role. This leads me to pick my arena and base of operations. My thought process in deciding this was that my roster doesn't really have anyone on it that I would consider to be regional draws, other than Dusty. Instead I believe that my roster could realistically draw well almost anywhere. Rather than depending on certain names I believe my roster would pull people in based off of brand recognition, and with where I am planning on running by being the pinnacle of pro-wrestling in that country. Without further ado, I present the stadium from which my super card will occur: The home of Summerslam 1992 Wembley Stadium in London, England.

I'd actually been thinking that the 2/3 falls gimmick, in the guise of the three stages of hell would possibly make for a good blowoff to the Jericho/HBK saga. Other than that, I couldn't think of a gimmick that they could do that wuld sit quite right. I'd hate it to be last man standing as those matches rarely deliver, the whole concept is very anti-climatic. A blindfold match would be appalling. No DQ/Anywhere falls would be okay but they don't seem important enough to be the end of this feud. Hell in a Cell would be nice but they're reserved for 'Trips and Undertaker it seems. I liked the set up that the original had straight singles/No Dq/Cage, and if they were to do that use the same stips. With the 3 Stages, Jericho could prove once and for all that he's better than Shawn by beating him multiple times in one night. HE could use the cliché from the Austin/Triple H encounter as well about breaking his spirit in the first fall and breaking his body in the second.

If Stevie hadn't taken the Colony, I would have taken them. Curse you for runining my dreams of a fun, goofy undercard Stevie.

I would have cried if you'd broken up my Men on a Mission vs. Los Ice Creams dream match, Drury.

I just figured if Kai was his next choice he's not likely to want to change his pick and I didn't want her, so seems fine to me.

I thought we were counting that pick. My bad if not.

I'm up now right? With my next pick I am choosing a team who were WWE tag team champions and one half later went on to great singles success and won the King of the Ring tournamnet. For my 29th pick of the draft, I choose: Mabel & Mo - They are Men on a Mission. When a friend and I had the idea of a Men on a Mission vs. Los Ice Cream match I couldn't resist making a reality in this draft. I have no better reason for picking them than I wanted to see Men on a Mission attempt to devour the Ice Creams. Good times.

It pains me to know you are saddend Stevie. It will only get worse though I feel. Just wait until you see who I put them against, it will make you even sadder I would guess.

For my next pick, and to bolster my tag team division I choose Los Ice Creams. Unfortunatly in the brief time I had to do this at work I couldn't find a picture. I will try to find one this evening though.

It's probably for the best anyway with regards to Rey not being all over tv at the moment. Raw is pretty busy at the moment and he'd likely get lost in the shuffle. When he comes back to tv full time hopefully he'll be in some sort of more important programme than against Santino. I for one would be all for a Rey/Jericho feud once the whole deal with Micheals is over.

Agreed on the picture front. I think I have an idea of what venue I'd like to take. It's by no means steeped in wrestling history, but I figure by the time my pick rolls around that all the famous venues will be long gone.
