WWE: HFWF does THE DRAFT: 9th overall pick (SMACKDOWN)

[M.C.G. 31]

Yep... after WWE did their draft, now WE do a draft and see how the rosters would play out.

Some housekeeping:

1. There will be three separate drafts, one for singles superstars (male and female), one for tag teams (NXT and WWE) and one for NXT. Depending on how many NXT tag teams are drafted will determine how many rounds for NXT superstars. Raw will get 3 NXT picks and Smackdown will get 3 NXT picks, this is the only round where there will be an alternating order and Smackdown getting the first pick.

2. Finn Balor, Nia Jax, American Alpha, Mojo Rawley, Carmella and Alexa Bliss will be in the "NXT" category as they weren't on the main roster before the draft.

3. Threads will be open for at least a full day. Once the next thread is up, then the previous poll will close. Never will one poll be open for two-or-more days, though.

4. If you vote "OTHER" you MUST name who you'd vote in that spot.

5. If you would like to break up a tag-team, post in the most recent thread saying "add Bubba Ray" (using as an example). There will need to be at least three posts (the initial post, plus two in agreement from two different posters) for that superstar to be added into the singles draft.

6. We will follow WWE's format where Raw would get three picks for every two Smackdown got, but the format will go Raw-SD-Raw-SD-Raw-Raw-SD-Raw-SD-Raw.

7. For the threads where Raw will have two consecutive picks, the polls will be MULTI-OPTION... only vote for TWO superstars to go to Raw at this point.

Without further ado... let's begin.

Sami Zayn.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Next thread, which will feature back-to-back RAW picks, will also include the first TAG TEAM and Raw's first NXT selection. Therefore, for the next pick, you will be selecting:

TWO (2) MAIN ROSTER SUPERSTARS, ONE (1) MAIN ROSTER TAG TEAM AND ONE (1) NEXT SUPERSTAR.

DO NOT VOTE FOR FOUR (4) MAIN ROSTER SUPERSTARS, OR TWO (2) MAIN ROSTER TAG TEAMS, OR TWO (2) NXT SUPERSTARS.

Thank you.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Voting Roman Reigns here. Smackdown could use some young star power after missing out on Bray Wyatt.

Programs with Reigns-Ambrose, Reigns-Owens, Reigns-Nakamura and Reigns-Lesnar II would be good for the brand.

 

[Acallabeth]

To be honest, our draft looks like trash so far.

Smackdown has no estabilished and popular star in his prime (Lesnar doesn't count, Nakamura's still in the NXT), so it's a big question how will Owens and Ambrose try to reach a true star status with nobody to put them over (again, Lesnar? Just no).
Meanwhile RAW has 3 superstar headliners, but also Bray and Sasha, who'll never have a chance to truly shine above them. Drafting Sasha to RAW also makes it unreasonable to have any good women on Smackdown, depleting the pool even more. And we'll have to watch Banks almost kill herself every Raw. Oh well.

Anyway, Sami Zayn.

That's why it's a fantasy draft. Most of us don't think in terms of depleting the pool and overall product. We think in terms of who are the best picks.

 

[BonMorrison]

Reigns or Charlotte.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I'm going to try getting that huge multi-option poll up tonight if this thread gets at least 20-25 votes.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Oooh, Reigns and Zayn tied.

 

[OmniSens]

Reigns, only because of the heat he can draw. Zayn close second.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I never thought I'd want to see Reigns win so bad.

 

[Fro]

ok puppetmaster...stop rigging the vote

Pffft, my politics couldn't sway the vote in Bray's favour.
