Wrestling All-Time Draft III - Discussion Thread Two

[nameless1]

Good god, is this going to be a 2 day wrestling card?!

I want to recreate Wrestlemania II.


In all seriousness...
I am almost done...
But I just need a couple more names.

 

[ColePens]

nameless1 will have to do a great job not exiting round 1

 

[ColePens]

I'm surprised no one picked celebrities for a gimmick match.

I wanted CC's take on this. I tried to take a celebrity last year and was shut down. The rules could be clearly stated somewhere, but I lazily overlooked them.

Was there ever an official ruling on the celebrity thing? Because obviously we would all be grabbing a guy like Ali or Rousey. I thought it wasn't allowed?

Honestly...
I expect a first round exit.
My card is too Japanese-centric...
And I doubt many people know my picks that well.

I may have to type an explanation for a number of my matches.

Tyson would be a good choice too.

 

[Sheppy]

I debated taking Tyson at one point.

 

[Morozov]

I definitely wanted Rousey but thought she was a no go.

Which I agree with for what it's worth.

 

[nameless1]

Personally...
I think fighter celebrities should be a no-go.
Other celebrities are fair game.

However...
That is Cutter's call.

 

[ColePens]

I selected Rousey last year and got shut dahn.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Yeah celebrities are a no go. Don't worry guys I had a mstch in mind too last year

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

I selected Andy Kaufman, but he was in the ring with Lawler so does that count? Hopefully that's okay he's a part of my gimmick match.

 

[nameless1]

Can I also draft a celebrity as a presenter?

 

[Sheppy]

Hell, draft 10!

 

[Morozov]

I'm going to draft every Miss Universe to have them sitting around at ringside for your viewing pleasure.

And yes, I'll draft the male equivalents as well.

 

[Morozov]

Also will be drafting every member of Queen to perform a live rendition of We are the Champions after my main event.

 

[Dr Pepper]

I already have Kane, should I draft Pete Rose?

Taker, Kane and Pete Rose in a triple threat match?

 

[Sheppy]

Is it too late to draft Zach Gowen?

 

[Shoalzie]

He won't cost you an arm and a...

 

[nameless1]

The celebrity I had wanted actually participated in a match.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Is it too late to draft Zach Gowen?

Sure you can pick him. As long as you have Owen Hart kick his leg out of his leg

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

The celebrity I had wanted actually participated in a match.

You're taking Jay Leno aren't you?

 

[Morozov]

Dennis Rodman and Karl Malone.

 

[nameless1]

Dennis Rodman and Karl Malone.

To be fair...
Karl Malone did deliver a mean diamond cutter.

 

[nameless1]

You're taking Jay Leno aren't you?

Nope.
My celebrity was actually a world champion.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Nope.
My celebrity was actually a world champion.

Ewwwww if you're taking who I think you're taking, haha.
