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

[JackSlater]

Really enjoyed the Rougeaus pick. Also very curious to see what Sheppy does with Trish.

 

[Sheppy]

Don't forget to tag or message the next pick, folks!

Draft list is updated and corrected.

That was the result of me reading the list and then trying to update it from memory on my phone. I remember HF used to always have the OP on every page but now I have to click back and forth. Best to wait for when I'm using my home computer.

I'm hoping you guys make like 5 tag team picks in a row at some point

 

[JackSlater]

Yes, it is time for everyone to pick a tag team.

I like seeing Shamrock going.

I will ignore the bait being laid by classic POS Shawn Michaels.

144. branimal84: Jacques Rougeau
Round 13
145. branimal84: Raymond Rougeau

I think this should be ladder match for #144 and Rogeaus for #145.

Good catch. I am really on it today it seems.

If anyone is more interested in Adam Page than their pick PM me.

 

[les Habs]

Only one Hell in a Cell match left, Ladder/TLC matches going quickly. You guys better get on that.

This and the time I played the hockey ATD I feel like I executed my plan perfectly the first few rounds, but then slowly lost my mind in the middle changing plans and eating up rounds with not totally necessary picks. I am Goldberg.

I think that is almost inevitable, the diverging paths in the middle. In my case I went into this draft with one main guy that I have wanted for 3 or 4 years, then just didn't pick him and he went. Sometimes I have a clear plan, but a tempting wrestler drops lower than I expected and I end up taking them and worrying about usage later. I enjoy the draft part and seeing if a plan I am trying to execute gets blown up. I assume its similar for everyone, but sometimes the scrambling produces a good result.

For instance this year when Jericho fell to the third round I pretty much became the Vince reacts gif.

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

I said goodbye to Dustin in my last picks knowing he'd go this round. I decided to ultimately keep him away from Cody for my show.

I usually have a bit of a different approach where I have mostly more specific plans. I tend to get who I want and luck out often but failing that there's usually another wrestler or two who can fill the role I have in mind. I caught flack last draft for having some underwhelming choices but I did it my way, dammit.

Ah I wanted Yoko

Ah I wanted Yoko

Always open to trades.

God dammit Sheppy

God dammit Sheppy

 

[les Habs]

If I could be serious for a minute, I can't believe the guys taken ahead of Lance Storm.

 

[Sheppy]

Slim pickings out there for me now, boys.

 

[JackSlater]

That's pretty late for The Rock n Roll to be available. I'm also stunned that CHGoalie27 took Sabu, my whole draft has been thrown off.

Dude, you gotta submit this shit to Webster's to file under sarcasm. Stunned

On the lives of everyone i ever loved, it takes every ounce of restraint to not take him first every draft.

Sarcastic would be saying how much I loved the selection of Joey Uso. I'd say around half of the GMs have their typical picks though.
