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

Definitely had Muta on my radar earlier and completely forgot about him!

Wilson was the victim. Arber was the cause and the star. Under his skin, came out with the W. Hope Sam's ok :/

See, can't even pick out the storyline right in your face. And you wonder why your wrestling plans go to the toiler? Sad. Truly sad.

I just had to. I don’t even have a plan, but I’ve always loved his work

 

[Sheppy]

I’m absolutely crippled right now. I’m thankful I didn’t select Pete Gas at this point.

 

[JackSlater]

Vader is really good value now.

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

Apologies for the delay all. My picks happened to overlap with my daytime bedtime.

 

[GKJ]

Damn, Swerve was on my radar

Must have really thrown a wrench in your plans considering it's been your turn to pick for several hours now.

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

Matt Hardy is someone I would have loved to scoop late but knew he would go earlier than I would have wanted to pick him.

He is the best Hardy.

 

[JackSlater]

Sandman, Shirai, Luger, and Davey Boy were all wrestling that I was interested in.

 

[GKJ]

I’m getting beaten to on all the women now. How times have changed.

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

Now that the weekend is coming to a close I'm hoping we can stop slowly treading through a river of cold molasses and pick up the pace a bit here boys.

Remember if you're going to be indisposed of you can send me your pick preference to make it for you.

 

[les Habs]

One thing in case it’s not clear, you CAN pick during the overnight window if you want to.

I think that the talent pool for women has gone up exponentially since the draft started. Just ten years ago it was an extremely shallow pool. Also, some day I will draft Banks and put her in a non-wrestling role.

 

[JackSlater]

Also, getting DiBiase that late is crazy. Could be a draft winning steal.

 

[les Habs]

Agree on DiBiase based on his gimmick.

I have a specific women’s match in mind, but the man I want to use for the storyline went earlier than expected. On to next year. Women’s pool is notably deeper nowadays, but I might just skip it altogether at this point.

It’s definitely that as both companies have raised their profiles. I might have to start dipping into Ice Ribbon.

Getting closer and closer to pulling off the all-women’s card.

There was an all women's card in this before, and it was honestly the worst card that anyone ever submitted. Not just because of the roster, but it's hard when the talent pool was so shallow and other people pick off a lot of the top talents. There are a lot more women now, and the ability has clearly gone up notably. There is still an obvious curve when 95% of people discuss those matches but you could see even at this past Wrestlemania there is genuine top of the card quality there

 

[Sheppy]

My card is going to be insanely random

 

[BruinDust]

About time someone picked Harley Race.
