One of the reasons they are giving him a push is that he's just a great guy to be around backstage by all accounts. There's a reason Slater, Axel, Hawkins etc are kept around - they can work a match and are great guys backstage but unluckily for them just don't have the ''it'' factor. Jinder looked like he was in the same book but someone has rolled the dice with him. I desperately want his run to be a success because it means they may try it with other workers like that. Someone did the same with Breezango on the back of their stellar work as Chet and the Banker and its just so much fun to watch guys that deserve a push getting a bit of a run. I dream of the day they decide to call up the universally loved backstage Buddy Murphy and push him but I doubt very much it's ever going to happen. He'll just have to content himself with being the all-time punching above his weight champion.</p>

Would it be okay to sneak start the draft, not updating the clock until the time the draft is supposed to start? I can declare the overall #2 draft pick, as WWJ will draft Kazuchika Okada as our ace.

 

I will probably not be awake to make my second pick, but I'll send a list to someone (Uncrewed? - Except we are likely in competition for similar talent?) when I go to bed.

Yeah I'll be up for another 15 odd hours.

 

ANNOUNCEMENT:

 

Warrior's Road Puroresu & Rising Sun Wrestling are proud to announce that they have formed an alliance.

 

The alliance, which has yet to be named, has vowed to take down every company in the world in the spirit of puroresu.

<p>I may have to rename my fed to the Eddie Guerrero Wrestling Fed because I'm Cheating to win.</p><p> </p><p>

Neither of my first two picks are listed as working in Australia so I felt the need to post links showing that they do and in fact one of them is doing so today.</p><p> </p><p>

The mod only has 139 people listed as able to work Australia - and that includes Eddie Guerrero, The Big Bossman, Curt Henning, Road Warrior Hawk, Ultimate Warrior as well as non dead people like 72 yo Butch Miller, 70yo Luke Williams.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm doing my best to follow the spirit of the rule if not the exact letter.</p>

I can't see if Uncrewed has posted his company's product, but I can already tell we're going to go for basically the same wrestlers. I'm crossing off names right from the top of my draft sheet. <img alt=":mad:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/mad.png.69834f23b9a8bf290d98375f56f1c794.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

AJ Styles</p><p>

Sheamus</p><p>

Big Show</p><p>

Kurt Angle</p><p>

Hiroyoshi Tenzan</p><p> </p><p>

Happy so far with my Roster. Big Show seems as a weird pick, but i think he is able to do some really good matches. Also i needed at least one "Big Guy".</p>

<p>Amazingly I have got almost everyone I could have hoped for given being 10th in the draft order.</p><p> </p><p>

Jericho, Cena, Cesaro, Miz, Zayn, Hennigan, The WWE Network, Galloway, Stu Bennett (Wade Barrett), Braun Strowman, Colin Cassidy and Alexa Bliss.</p><p> </p><p>

Some good talkers which is important for sports entertainment. A couple of really good in ring workers and some nice big men for the obligatory brawls and menace angles. A nice centrepiece for my Women's Division who finally has a genuine Australian connection ( a lucky, lucky man).</p><p> </p><p>

I'm pretty happy. Wondering how everyone else feels now that the prime first 10 rounds have gone down?</p><p> </p><p>

Oh and I checked with Uncrewed and the WWAA Network can accept other feds. If anyone wants that worldwide coverage feel free to send me a trade offer for coverage on the network (lets say a 30th rnd pick) - Fridays & Saturdays are taken as is every week 2 Sunday but the rest of the week is open. If you want tv deals you need to draft them or try to get one in game - which can be tough for start-up feds - so it all depends on your strategy as to whether being on the former WWE Network is worth it. Its subscription so your growth is slower than say Free to Air but it has worldwide coverage. There are always providers with better local coverage but they often have low patience/ low risk levels or stances against wrestling. If you are looking at growing your pop outside your home area then the WWAA might be a decent option for you. It's especially good if you're from the USA and okay if you're from Canada (Medium and Small coverage respectively). I figured I'd let you all know it was still an open option in case anyone felt like going that way coverage wise.</p>

Pretty excited for my first 13 (as I'm sure others are for theirs).

 

CM Punk

Brock Lesnar

Daniel Bryan

Kevin Steen

Dragon Lee II

Conor McGregor

Paul Heyman

Sasha Banks

Jim Ross

La Sombra

Ricochet

Rey Mysterio

Caristico

 

I'm a total Punk mark being from Chicago, Lesnar, Bryan, KO for the heavyweights.

 

Dragon Lee II, McGregor, La Sombra, Ricochet, Mysterio in the Liger role and Caristico for Juniors.

 

And the Boss for the women's division.

 

Add to that JR and Heyman on Commentary, and American Strong Style is alive and well. Need to flesh out tags and women's division, but the base is extremely solid, especially with Rock/Cena not in the US for national battles.

It's interesting to see how things are shaking out.

 

Tardelli is very WWE like.

Dr. A and Uncrewed are like NJPW split in two.

Southside has a fed of ex indy darlings.

Rockambition feels like an anglicized Lucha Underground.

BeastMike, s feels like a hard edge smackdown.

HRTV feeks like what a Japanese version of the WWE would.

Juanster is a new age ECW.

Destiny is a TNA WWE lovechild.

As for me, it's the WWE if he had of pushed different people a few years back. It still has that style but it's skewing younger.
