southside_hitmen Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 LOL With southside my guess is he'll be filling out his ranks with some PPA deals. He'll have a NJPW style roster with a largish 2nd tier of PPA talent to use as required. With his access to our alliance he also has the ability to potentially bring in some guests for matches - men from me and women from Dr.A. It's clearly the strategy he seems to be running with. Basically this ^^^ I have some old guys to hire that I don't want to waste Written deals on due to the risk of time decline (Angle being the exception earlier). I also need to flesh out the women/junior/tag divisions a little more for the roster to feel full. I also like the flexibility of having extra picks later. If Larrikn makes a run in some area I wasn't anticipating I have enough draft equity to shore up any holes in the boat as they spring up. In general, I like to trade down if I think my picks will be there anyway, as it is the only way to try and upset the equilibrium of the draft and try to swing it in my favor. For example, earlier in the draft I was able to trade down once and then back up above Larrikn in Round 2 to give me 4 picks out of the first 21 (really 19 with no Russell) in the draft. Those 4 picks netted me Okada, Nakamura, Omega, and Naito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpha2117 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 It's a great plan, but I'm afraid I can't take it seriously when you use up two of those written deals on Matt Morgan and Magnus Ahhh that's the beauty of Matt Morgan and Nick Aldis - people don't neccesarily think of them because out of sight is out of mind. Morgan - has 76 on the mic, 93 star power and 88 menace. He's ultra safe(83) and a decent brawler with good basics. Up against my star filleld roster he's easy to get over and work a good program with. Aldis - He's early 30's. He has 80 star power, he's a safe solid brawler who has a solid baseline to work with. With that 80 star power and decent baseline stats he's a perfect midcarder who I can use. In the real world the WWE should really pick him up for NXT. He's the kind of talent that could get over in a decently managed fed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing is, with the alliance, I still can! (And Lesnar obviously too). Speaking of future plans, you can full expect an Omega/Punk feud out of me at some point through loans. We will probably ignite it with that invite Omega and the Bucks laid out for him to join Bullet Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpha2117 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Not really. Morgan is a great big man who the WWE blew it with (much like they did with Lashley). He is a good solid worker and looks like a star. Aldis is the same - he looks like a star. His skills are solid in ring. Neither are exciting or flashy but they are solid big men and the current trend is towards smaller faster workers but in my brawling/MMA style fed they fit perfectly. If Bobby Roode can become a huge star in NXT and be treated as such on his Main Roster debut then Nick Aldis definitely could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpha2117 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 i mean my Junior division is a little bare right now soooooo The obvious tactic for both you and southside is raid overseas with your picks pre 30. Once the data is delivered that's off the table so the time to get those bodies on written is now. There are tons of people in Mexico literally begging for work in this game world. They aren't going to find it with me and Uncrewed only has so many slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
