[southside_hitmen]

Reports out of Mexico City indicate La Liga is willing to listen to offers on the first pick of the draft.

 

No word on whether a translator is required in negotiations.

[wshred13]

Yay I only have to walk up to the podium once every 2 rounds. Efficiency!

[Tardelli]

Im thinking of taking a Top Draw as my first pick but he has to fit to my product....difficult difficult.

[HRTVAndrew]

Question since it isn't really spelled out in the rules: What's the stance on "out of the business" and/or retired workers? Are they ineligible to be drafted as active wrestlers?

[southside_hitmen]

<p>Just a reminder that we draft in a separate thread: <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=541808" rel="external nofollow">http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=541808</a></p><p> </p><p>

I posted my pick as I won't be available at start time as well.</p>

Look at Trish for instance - she's actually back and probably should be a semi-active wrestler as she's definitely at Evolution. The mod isn't perfect, no mod is.</p>

[Uncrewed]

Out of the business people are eligible to be drafted!

[Tardelli]

So far im happy with Pro Wrestling Underground.

 

 

 

Styles, Joe, Ospreay, Ricochet and KUSHIDA will make for some great matches.

[alpha2117]

I'm crashing for the night. If it hits me just skip me and I'll decide in the morning.

[wshred13]

Jaded, why the early mystery boxes?

Also there’s only a few people I desperately wanted, all of whom had gone by end of round 4.</p>

[alpha2117]

So I decided to just go with the whole weird acting heavy soap-opera styled fed I've always wanted to do despite The Rock being poached 2nd round. So far I've got notorious bad actors Hennigan, Rousey, Orton & Rhodes and I am sure Regal, Graves, Cesaro & Rollins will be just as awful/great in my weird CHIKARA/Lucha Underground/ Avengers / American Horror Story mash-up. Just wait till I get to the later rounds - things are going to get decidedly strange!
