Went with Megahab and CHgoalie27 here.

Megahab has some matches I have interest in, and some I have no interest in. However, the ones I have no interest in are still smartly booked to me. Nice to see a tag-team elimination chamber match as the one WWE has done (that I know of) was very popular when it happened.
Flair and Cody would be a great NWA-style matchup and provide some variety. I do think a breather between the TLC and chamber matches would be needed, but not a major gripe. Cena and Piper has potential for a good build and some great promos but I struggle to think of that match as anything but terrible in-ring. Good effort all around though.

Unfortunately, Sheppy's card offers nothing for my tastes. I can see some stuff that would be a draw to the general public though. Asuka vs Hayter would have huge internet buzz and people would want to see Orton and Austin, whereas Orton is someone I'd prefer to never see. Would have like to see Styles in more of a match for him, like maybe against Brody with some call-backs to his match with Lesnar, but I digress. Very nice poster and a good HF draft gimmick to see continued from Sheppy.

CH has put forward his best effort yet, and the idea of highlighting the specific wrestler he is using down to the year has grown on me. A legitimately good use of Thesz is nice to see and most of the matchups are intriguing enough. Okada and Magnum is something I'd like to see for some reason I can't put my finger on.

 

[Sheppy]

Yeah, a lot of my ideas kind of went out the window and I had to scrape up some scraps. I got too in my own head, haha.

 

[Megahab]

I do think a breather between the TLC and chamber matches would be needed, but not a major gripe.

Thanks for the feedback. I thought about it after I submitted the card but I never meant to put the matches in the order they would occur, but I should have.

Also, based on my roster, Cena vs. Flair was the obvious main event to go with but then I thought I didn't have a strong "2nd top match/co-main event". Cena-Flair is better than Cena-Piper, but I figured Cena-Piper and Flair-Cody is better than Cena-Flair and Cody-Piper.

Plus I think there is appeal of Cody vs Flair because who Cody's father is. It's Dusty Rhodes in case Cody hasn't made that known these last few months.

Love Sheppy's poster. I have to do that starting next year.

 

[JackSlater]

For Megahab I like the elimination chamber match best, where those tag teams seem really well suited to that environment. Flair and Rhodes looks nice to me. I hate Cassidy but the match he's in could be good, and Finlay vs. McIntyre is sort of just dopped there but I think it could be really good. I dislike Cena, but I agree with the logic of splitting up Cena and Flair for the purpose of strengthening another match. Mysterio vs. Muta could be good if it was scrawny WCW Mysterio.

For Sheppy it's obviously the nicest graphic. The highlight for me is imagining Kane and Brody no selling for each other in the cell. A lot of the matches have someone I really like vs. someone I don't care for, which is just a matter of personal taste. It looks like the strongest card for women's wrestling with all three matches appealing to me on some level, which surprised me. I think I'd rather Liger vs. Styles as a singles match but I get that cards need variety. I have a question also - is the ladder match for a title?

CHGoalie27 has his strongest in-ring card. There is some good variety here and Steamboat vs. Tanahashi stands out as the highlight. I don't think that the gimmick of a title from all kinds f different companies is necessary. The card is a bit big, but that's less of an issue when none of the matches look like duds. On a meta level I am amused by your battle royal. I'm not a Gargano fan but using him against Tiger Mask is just about the best way to use him. Dr. Death is also an interesting choice for the main event, but I am fine with it as I really like his wrestling.

went with CHGoalie27 and Megahab here. All three cards have a few matches where I could use some sort of angle or something to spice things up, not something elaborate or anything, but I don't know that it would have made a big difference.

As much as some people hate OC, I think there's no denying he's strong in the ring and would do well in a spot fest type of match that Ladder matches with so many guys usually are.

Also, I thought Finlay vs McIntyre is a great match up. Two hard hitting, stiff Europeans. I was think of doing McIntyre vs Wardlow at first, but then realized Finlay was still available.

The Wardlow-Rhyno-Brian Cage-Scott Norton match is a "big men slapping meat" match that I think some people love here.

To me Cassidy is a negative to a card, but the way you used him largely does mitigate it. I agree that a spotfest type of match is the best place to put him. I'm a Finlay fan and I like McIntyre too so that match does have me sold. CHGoalie27 is the main enthusiast when it comes to big men slapping meat but the match has some nice variety with Norton and Rhyno representing two different eras along with the modern guys.

This one ended up being a lot tougher than I'd thought it would be. I went Sheppy and Megahab.

Sheppy - That poster tops the one you had last year, and last years was awfully good. It's hard not to like your card somewhat when there are similarities to my card last year. Austin in the main event. Brody in a specialty secondary main event. A big name tag match-up that would be hard-hitting. JBL in a undercard match, JR on commentary. And a pile of differences that help strengthen you card. 3 real strong female match-ups. A Meng match is always a solid choice. No shortage of star power. I've gained added respect for Orton the past few years where him against Austin seems like a bigger deal now. Kane (assuming 1997/98 Kane) vs. Brody HIAC is one of this year's drafts matches I'd most like to see. It would be a war. I would of done AJ and Cole against just each other. Overall my favorite of the three shows.

Megahab - You have some really solid single person match-ups. Lots of brand name value there and some interesting, never before seen, matches. I've used Cena in a main event of a card before. Would be interesting to know which version of Cena it would be. Can't go wrong with Flair and I like the tie in with Flair and Dusty. Sammartino with Snuka is a solid choice, and good usage of Lashley and Shamrock putting them against each other. What hurts your card for me is the number of large, multi-person match-ups. Especially without any story or context, I find matches like that tough to evaluate with so many different performers from different eras/promotions/styles, etc. and tough to visualize.

CHGoalie27 - There just isn't much there I really want to see. A bit outside my wheelhouse unfortunately. A Roman Reigns main event is a plus but I'm not sold on Dr. Death as a legitimate main event guy against someone the level of Reigns. Maybe Reigns 3 years ago, but not now. Bron Breakker vs. Taz would of been cool if you left Blackman out of it. I'm certain there are some who love this card it's just not for me.

 

[Megahab]

. What hurts your card for me is the number of large, multi-person match-ups. Especially without any story or context, I find matches like that tough to evaluate with so many different performers from different eras/promotions/styles, etc. and tough to visualize.

Yup, you're right about that. I really felt I had to many 3+ person matches (I hate the term multiman). The women's match especially seems like a clusterfest. I just drafted a bunch of prominent women not knowing what to do with them.

 

[les Habs]

I think I say this every matchup in the first round, but this wasn’t an easy one either. One thing I will say about all three cards, too many multiple opponent matches out there for my tastes. In some cases I think the opponents were there to do one on one or team vs team to have a more compelling match, but it’s all subjective.

@Megahab : Very well done with the top two matches. Cena vs Piper doesn’t intrigue me a lot as a match, but the build would likely be great. The big one for me though was Cody vs Flair. That was definitely on my list and now it’s gone forever. IMO that could have been a main event as well.

@Sheppy : Well you definitely win the presentation prize yet again. To limit your card to just that would unfair though. I’m not a big Orton fan, but that main event is a big matchup and would definitely be a draw. Nice that you added Cowboy Bob as well. I also think Kane vs Brody would be a fight I’d want to see, but nice that you amped up with Hell in a Cell.

@CHGoalie27 : Wow, a lot of ambition here and you made a lot of good picks. I like idea of a women’s Battle Royal is a first here I believe, but I think it could have used better competitors. Still, very impressive how deep your card is for how large it is.

 

[CHGoalie27]

@les Habs l picked every somewhat feminine female available for the Good Boy, especially after putting him in two not so fun matches to be involved in! I don't think I could've picked any better at all if ya take a better look.

Yes, the Good Boy really has his pick of the litter. He probably should be fixed.

Can CHGoalie book a parking lot barbed wire match without having used a draft pick on a hardcore match?
