HF Wrestling Draft XI: Picks Only

[HandsomeHollywood]

***Draft to begin Monday, April 21 at 8:00am EST

DISCUSSION THREAD: The Return: HF All-Time Wrestling Draft XI - Discussion Thread

Rules:

Spoiler

1. One wrestler, all gimmicks. i.e If you pick Mick Foley, you get all of his gimmicks (Mankind, Dude Love, Cactus Jack, etc)

2. The goal is to make the best card possible with your roster and secure the most votes from others round-to-round.

3. This will be 25 rounds. If you want to complete your card with unpicked wrestlers, there will be a free agency phase.
2022 amendment, with the slow pace and several skipped picks, the 2022 draft will be 20 rounds.
2025 amendment, free agency will have an ending day and any picks made after the end of free agency will be considered illegal; the draft will end at round 25

4. There will be a tournament to determine the winner.

5. You can pick a tag team but you have to forfeit your upcoming pick to do so. You must also use them as a team on your card. E.g. Two Man Power Trip (Stone Cold & HHH would have to be used together, not as singles wrestlers).
5. b) You may select a 3 man tag team provided they have been explicitly referred to as a 3-man tag team as per the classic 3 man team rule. To select a 3-man team, you must forfeit your subsequent two draft picks.

6. There will be an 8-hour limit for every pick. (clock stops between 12AM and 8AM EST). Picks can still be made when the clock is stopped if it is your turn, however the user after you does not have their clock start until the designated times.

7. Trades are allowed. Picks can be traded. Trades should be kept between two GMs at a time.

8. You must PM the poster after you once you've made your pick.
Note; tagging a GM after-the-fact in an edit does not send that GM a notification. A PM must be sent.

9. This is a snake draft.

10. Match types count as picks and they are limited

11. Celebrities who have been involved with wrestling are fair game. They must have appeared in wrestling. Only celebrities who have wrestled are eligible to be booked as wrestlers however. Otherwise they can be booked in non wrestling roles.
2022 amendment: fictional wrestlers are draft-eligible.

12. Gifs, YouTube clips or images of wrestlers drafted are allowed, but picks must include the typed out name of the wrestler chosen.

13. Do not mention undrafted wrestlers in the discussion threads until the tournament begins.
