I hope Big Show does great for you, cause if he sucks for u, chances are I wasted a first overall pick.

haha. In a weird way we kinda need each other to do well to have a chance. New Board, New Experiences.... I need.... to do well!

Cody Rhodes seems strange for a #1 pick, there seem to be plenty of better options, namely Ted Dibiase who is meant to be the next big thing, when it comes to splitsville, he is the one who is supposed to be getting the "Big" push right?  Not Cody.

Jeff may have normally been a 4* pick but it looks like he'll be gone soon. Sorry, Jim.

I'm hoping that Zeklov go on a jobber-squashing win streak, which would get me a regular 24 points. That is, if the plans for them teaming up actually happen. If not.... hopefully none of them gets traded to Raw....

Jeff Hardy, 1 out of 5.  Unless the dirt sheets are wrong, come the start of this game he is going to be gone, the 1 is on the off chance they are wrong and if he gets back before the end of the game.

Kozlov and Zeke, 2.5 out of 5.  As solid as they are going to be, I don't see anyway Gold coming there way, and being ECW they are going to struggle to get on PPV.

Blowup.......... u are my best tag partner but Jesus what were u thinking?

I would've taken Dibiase and then one of those guys. Never hedge your entire game on an ECW tag team of guys who were jobbers a few months ago.

Way too much talent to grab those two guys IMO.

but I've been wrong before.

I was tempted to go for someone else and Kozlov/Zeke but in the end I just thought, **** it, I'll take a gamble. If the plan for them to team up doesn't go through, I'm not going to get as many points out of them as I could have and will probably finish last or something.

Still 3 more picks to go though......

I'm shocked that Jeff Hardy got picked in Round 1.  He'll take some time off after SS and won't be getting any points.  With the first guy, you need some consistent points out of him.  There are still a few guys I'm surprised are on the board at this time.  I'm kinda curious on when the run on TNA guys gets started.

I can see the appeal of Koslov/Zeke.... because they have merit on their own and as a team. They will be consistant scorers on TV whether they are a tag team or not. The problem is PPV's.

I could see them as champs come the end of this game and if not you have two decent scorers.... the task now is to pick a big scorer somewhere else.

Well since you are only allowed 1 per team and cannot drop them at any time its always a very tactical thing.

He didn't kill your team, heck he is your second highest scorer, and for someone who didn't win a title he has been pretty solid and consistant.

well i guess we'll see. I struggled between 3 pick then. That was actually a tough pick.

Dibiase is a good pick i reckon.... especially because he has both of legacy. I think if the Dibiase split off happens in this game it will be when Legacy are champions as it will have a bigger effect.
