I am happy enough to ally given I am off in a weird little corner of the world with a suitably weird roster but guys who might work with your roster. I wonder if it's possible to merge the two networks and have it owned by the alliance rather than the companies?

<p>I'm okay with the Japanese and the Poms but I draw the line at the Canucks - darn Maple loving Beaver huggers!</p><p> </p><p>

This rant was brought to you by the addled mind of an aging Australian who will probably try to blame a terrorist attack for his xenophobia. </p><p> </p><p>

Seriously though if you are fine with Canada being in then so am I.</p>

<p>We are roughly through a 1/3 of the draft, so time for some hot takes!</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Tardelli</strong> - He and I may need to hold our matches on a trampoline instead of a ring. WWE Network is always a strong choice and the top 5 of AJ, Joe, Ospreay, Ricochet & KUSHIDA should tear the house down</p><p>

<strong>willr0ck</strong> - Japan National Battle machine in Okada/Tana. KENTA, Shibata, & TenKoji will take your head off</p><p>

<strong>Uncrewed</strong> - Japanese Lucha underground project going great with Golden Lovers, Bucks, LIJ</p><p>

<strong>alpha2117</strong> - Ton of great personalities. Johnny Mundo pick was a nice snag as he wouldn't of made it past my next pick</p><p>

<strong>Jon The GOAT</strong> - Canadian pride. Steenerico, Bryan, MCMG</p><p>

<strong>HRTVAndrew</strong> - Will crush us all in national battles for eternity. Will need an ambulance at ringside given the age of his main event scene</p><p>

<strong>Dr_Avalanche</strong> - Will be able to talk anyone into the building with Punk, Conor, Miz, Bray</p><p>

<strong>Jaded</strong> - International Man of Mystery (boxes). Jericho, Nakamura</p><p>

<strong>Destiny</strong> - One pick away from reforming 3MB already. Brock smash.</p><p>

<strong>wshred13</strong> - Will Big E finally get the singles push he deserves? BRAUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!</p><p> </p><p>

EDIT - Forgot about us. La Sombra, Lucha Bros, Dragon Lee Bros, Neville, + Caristico ensure mucha lucha. Konosuke Takeshita & Tommy End chop and head kick all the high flyers down to size. Io/Mayu channel their Black Lotus Triad days.</p>

<p>So 20 rounds in here's my take</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>southside hitmen</strong> - Off by himself in Mexico he's pretty much run with the best available. Takeshita, PAC & Tommy End add some variety. Should be fun.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Tardelli</strong> - Has the WWE network which is a great base to work from. Has skewed towards smaller athletic workers. Like everyone not called the SSW is going to struggle initially with the big dog but has strong long term prospects.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>willr0ck</strong> - Super strong in Japan. Has tended to go for the larger more powerful talents.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Uncrewed</strong> - The 2nd Japanese fed is mixing it up with Joshi workers and lighter more mobile talent at the top of the card. Has brought in some larger guys as the draft progressed.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>JontheGOAT</strong> - Has concentrated on Canadian talent for much of the draft and as a result has a solid dependable roster. </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>HRTVAndrew</strong> - Okay they are old - they are really old. That said they should be a ratings powerhouse on US TV. Short term winner but that might be enough. </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Dr_Avalanche</strong> - Punk, HHH, McGregor, Miz, that's a combustible mix at the top of the card. There is some talent below that and a good investment in the DDT. </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Jaded</strong> - In a showdown with Destiny that's going to be difficult to predict. Went to the Mystery Boxes very early and the 7 point UK pop boost and a later boost to Nakamura might be important but the sacrifice of depth could be a problem. Much like HRTVAndrew that roster is looking a little long in the tooth.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Destiny </strong> - Has gone for depth in the battle with Jaded for the UK's hearts and minds. Jaded looks to have the advantage in pop (especially with the Mystery Box boosts) but Destiny has a lot more athleticism. After Brock it's a biggish drop-off in pop though. </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>wshred13</strong> - It's all about outlasting the start of the game here. That roster has a ton of upsides but long term will it be able to survive or will it be picked apart by feds with more starting popularity. </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>alpha2117</strong> - So I went for an idea I always wanted to do which is a acting heavy fed. There's some decent enough in ring talent there as well. The mid card is filling up with Australasians. Has NJPW which is a decent investment. DRAGON has the Joshi girls whilst WWAA has the strongest western women's mix. Off in my own weird little corner which is certain to get weirder before it's over.</p>

Most of my guys aren't THAT old!!! Plus, I'm actively getting a lot of midcard/upper-midcard talent that, in theory, will develop quickly enough to be top-tier guys.

 

I was partly kidding of course but lets look at the ages of the first 20 picks shall we …

 

41, 46, 32, 49, 43, 41, 32, 38, 36, 42, 34, 35, 30, 47, 66, 52, 46, 53, 35

 

Your youngest person is 30. Even if you take the 3 staff out of the equation it's not the sprightliest of rosters. It's of course why you will win the National Battles because they have maxed out their pop.
