It's funny to see how much C.M. Punk has developed. A lot of people called his first title reign a failure and now he's on the cusp of breaking some records amidst one of the longest title runs in years. He's widely regarded as the best in the business - more than a moniker!
Can't go wrong with any of the first three picks. Punk, Austin and Angle are all great choices.

When we've done a complete cycle, are you going to reverse the order of the draft so the people towards the end get a chance to go first?

Happy to be a part of this; should be really cool seeing what people put together out of this. I'm already assembling my draft war room and may channel Mel Kiper, Jr., for some analysis at some point. Get excited!

Legitimately don't think you can go wrong with any of the first seven picks. And yes, I'm including Trish; I will always believe that early-to-mid-2000's Trish is the best-looking woman in wrestling history.

I have a few matches in mind, accounting for the fact that there's a lot of folks I probably won't get being so low in the draft order.

I have a fair few matches in mind, and with enough flexibility to probably get them (not taking into account gimmick rounds). That said, I know my card will lose in the vote.

This here is what I'm anticipating, but I've actually listed wrestlers I want to get instead of matches I want to make, with the idea that I'll create the best card I can once I get my roster drafted out. |

Yeah when I started I mapped out a list of 15 I'd like, and every single one so far except RVD has been on it, so I binned the list and ... well, I can't reveal my strategy now haha. Also, Rebel, is it possible to link to this discussion thread in the game thread? Yeah, I'm that lazy. |

Just a FYI - if you know you won't be around to make your pick, PM me a list of 4-5 people you're interested in, in order of importance, and I'll make your pick for you based on that list.

I don't know if it's posted anywhere...
Is there a restriction on the way our card looks? Like, do we have to have certain matches on the card (tag, triple threat etc) or is it all open to whatever we want to do, given the wrestlers we pick?

No... however, there will be rounds where you'll be asked to pick tag-teams but you're welcome to split them how you choose if need be. |

Quick question: Exactly how many rounds is this going?

I was going to recommend this for every round. This waiting is fucking tedious. I know right? but on the bright side, I did get a chance to decide whom I want to draft in the first round, and who my backup pick is going to be... Since I'm On Deck for after Biggs... I've actually got a list of ten wrestlers whom I'd love to draft over the first couple rounds, and a few ideas for what tag teams I would want to draft. |

Quick question: Exactly how many rounds is this going? We'll shoot for 12 - depending on how long we take, possibly more. Plan on 12. Yarmouth has the next two picks. Remember, we're snaking back. I'll post a new order in the draft thread. |

Just a suggestion to make this move a bit faster. Instead of an order, each round everyone picks 1 person whenever they can. Maybe give everyone a 24 hour deadline before the next round starts

Maybe give everyone a 24 hour deadline before the next round starts I don't like this idea. I say keep the order. If we do that, then it's the no-lifes like me who are on the board 24/7 that get first pick all the time. |

Round two will be another normal round. We'll start with the gimmick rounds in round three!
