King Kamala 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2009 Nice pickup, Garth. He's been on my list of potential draft picks for the last three or four rounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tominator89 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2009 The last few picks have played out almost exactly like I thought they would. I didn't think these guys would last much longer. The last two picks were the most difficult ones I've had thus far. I wanted Lance Storm for my Calgary promotion and the run on tag teams made it a perfect fit, but I lost out on some solid upper card guys. I'm assuming that a number of the tag teams will be completed this round, leaving me wondering who might slip to me in the next round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garth 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2009 I feel like both Shelley & Aries went really early. Wrestling is pretty subjective though so people might value them more highly than I see them. Don't get me wrong though, love both guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2009 Depends on what you're looking for, I suppose. But yeah, there's a TON of bigger draws still left, is I think the point you're making. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2009 Again, this is why I find the middle rounds (from about Round 4 to Round 12 or so) most fascinating. The last few rounds have been filled with a ton of steals and headscratchers (though not ones of Drury like proportions), sometimes one after another). Again, it's all so subjective.

Garth 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2009 I definitely think Kane has been one of the biggest steals recently, as someone who has been a top guy in THE promotion for what, 11 years now? That's a damn good pick up in my book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a damn good pick up in my book. Yeah, he fell to teh 7th last time didn't he? I think it's mainly because he sorta gets lost in the shuffle All-Time, which is a shame because gimmick wise he's as over as anyone. You could viably build an entire promotion around him. I nearly took him in the 3rd, but wanted to avoid repicks from the first time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steviekick 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2009 The reason I passed on Kane was because I couldn't figure out how to make his gimmick work with who I have already and who I hope to pick for my roster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2009 The reason I passed on Kane was because I couldn't figure out how to make his gimmick work with who I have already and who I hope to pick for my roster. That's really the issue. There's a couple of really big names left who arguably shouldn't be, but I've looked at them and thought "well... what do I do with them if I get them? Do they fit with my roster, or my vision?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2009 My next pick is a bit of a 'safe' one in many ways. He's being drafted for one gimmick, the one pictured. However should I have a change of heart or some awful luck, he's got a couple to change to as insurance. So he'll be useful either way, but he is being drafted with a strong babyface tag team in mind. And also, great, GREAT theme music. Russian or Repo man, Hole in one or Power and paint. Either way, he'll kick ya stinkin' teeth in! DEMOLITION SMASH/BARRY DARSOW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was less that he would be part of my plans but moreso because he was one of the best talents available for that pick. Oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maztinho 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2009 The first go around, I didn't really have a plan for Kane, but I was like. Shit, I gotta get him. Then I figured something out later on, which I actually was kinda happy with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steviekick 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2009 For my next pick, I'm going with someone I'm a bit of a mark for, someone who is super charismatic and a great in ring talent. He's someone who can get himself over as either a heel or face, but I think I'm going to book him as a super cocky heel, doing a combination between his world's best athlete/knockout kid characters. He can have a smark friendly match with Punk, dueling promos with Piper and bump like a madman for Bob Sapp and Kong. VIRGIL! er... CHRIS HERO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DEMOLITION SMASH/BARRY DARSOW This guy was one half (or one-depending on which version) of the team I was going to pick if DDP and Jarrett had been drafted before my last pick. Nice steal...assuming no one's a dick...though I am a big fan of his later day WCW run. Dory Funk Jr. is also quite the steal IMHO at this stage of the game. He was high up there with guys I considered for my last two picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
