Sorry for the delay. Went to bed super early yesterday.

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

I see in the last thread we've opened the flood gates on announcing trades. I was holding off until the draft ended, but here goes.

HandsomeHollywood has traded Shelton Benjamin to Chris Cutter for Jay Briscoe

 

[nameless1]

The last pick in Draft B by Habsrule is invalid.
Kowalski was already gone in the 14th round.

 

[nameless1]

Hojo has the best elbow drop I have seen in recent years.
She is a great pick.

You ****ed up! You ****ed up!

 

[CHGoalie27]

Everyone giving me ideas for next draft lol Hojo looks killer!

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

I enjoy the impact of her elbow, and though I can see the reasoning for it, I'm not a fan of the double leg stretch into the air. But to each their own.

It's simple psychology.. Japanese wrestling is very stiff. So she lands on her hip/butt to avoid extra damage to her legs. Plus it's itsy different then everyone else's elbow drop.

Oh yes, as I said, I see the reasoning for it, I'm just not a fan of how it looks. Swinging the legs up like that I imagine would also increase the impact of the move, transferring more weight to the part of her body coming down on her opponent.

I have some weird, subjective hang ups in wrestling. I don't like things looking too routine, like how Roman simply HAS to **** his wrist before the superman punch. Bad comparison I know, as Romans action is cosmetic and hers is related to the mechanics of the move. Not saying the move is bad, just isn't totally for me personally.

EDIT: I see now I can't describe Romans actions correctly without being censored. He has to do with his wrist what you would do with a gun? You get the idea

 

[GKJ]

She makes it look like a real elbow drop and people can buy it as a finisher, whereas no one else's elbow drop does that.

She also does a wicked cross-legged Boston Crab.

Shhhh...Don't tell Charles Robinson that.
Perhaps I will look into her more when I get some free time.

OHHHHHH YES

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

OHHHHHH YES

Hahaha
Seems disadvantageous to have a move that needs to be reloaded, and can only have 1 at a time.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Looks like we're going to go a full day without a pick in Draft A.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

just logged on, my roster is pretty full at this point i don't need to pick anymore

Well it's an 8 hour time limit right?

 

[nameless1]

The interesting thing about Hojo's elbow is that it defies logic and perhaps even physics.
On Reddit...
I read that a person actually took the clip to a game developer friend...
Who specializes in motion capture technology...
And the friend cannot explain how she does it.

Could you also state this in the pick thread...
And perhaps PM the next person?
OmniSens might not realize that he or she can pick now.

I cannot find the .gif for it...
But I agree.
It is the same way Melina makes Natayla's sharpshooter looks really painful.

[CHGoalie27]

Cuz we dumb as **** and its shoalzies turn.

 

[nameless1]

I am surprised by the Celtic Warrior pick.
I thought he was long gone.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

I am thinking some day within the next month I will be picking again.

 

[OmniSens]

I am surprised by the Celtic Warrior pick.
I thought he was long gone.

I had him under the radar for about 6-7 rounds and noticed no one seemed to be aiming for him. Steal in my books.

I only need one or two more picks.

Also, I'm a he.
