Are we still missing a card? My opponent's?

Yep. He'll send it tonight.

Thanks for putting it all together Chris, I always have so much fun with this draft. I'll be casting votes later tonight so I have time to read everyone's stuff and maybe check out some wrestlers I am unfamiliar with.

No problem! It's always a blast to see how it unfolds and the ideas of the posters on this board

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

I believe I should receive a bye ala Bam Bam Bigelow at the 1993 King of the Ring. It's only fair.

Good call! LOL I wonder how many actual other NYers picked NY...Chicago rules, its just too hot or too cold there.

 

[Morozov]

I think this is the first year I've used NY, in hindsight I wish I didn't if only to be different.

 

[Cor]

I forgot to put what venue my card would be in, but I would put it in Chicago

 

[Cor]

Just finished looking at the cards.

We all f***ing rule.

There’s literally not one card I wouldn’t want to to watch.

Prior to reading them all, I would have been disappointed not making it far, but no matter what, we’re all getting eliminated by other quality cards.

This is awesome

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

There's still a few cards I haven't gotten to sink my teeth into just yet.
Can tell everyone put effort into their cards.

I’m just glad I found a use for the coloring pencil tool on my Surface Pro.

Ive been following every pick and watching at least 2 youtube tribute/top moves vids of each pick if i needed to.

 

[CHGoalie27]

Serious props to @Chris Cutter for his first round match up choices too.

Can't thank me, I hit the randomizer up 5 times

 

[CHGoalie27]

Can't thank me, I hit the randomizer up 5 times

So in other words you didnt go with the first random order, or the second. Or the third. Or even the fourth. FIVE times you hit the "randomizer" until it matched the 10 cards appropriately to your liking!

 

[JackSlater]

Getting ready to go through them now. My cursory glaces told me that people spent a lot of time building the cards up and not just throwing a bunch of names out, which I like. I will do a drive by on each card and give a few thoughts.

 

[GongShowWilly]

Wow , this is hard . Great cards everyone !!
need to think about this

 

[JackSlater]

It actually takes a long time to get through all of the cards and it seems like everyone has a card that would be worth watching. Really strong work put into presentation too.

 

[CHGoalie27]

My fav first round match up has lions tigers bears and some nutcase dancing around beating the shit out of himself

 

[Cor]

What happens if there is a tie lmao

 

[ColePens]

1) Thank you @Chris Cutter for doing this every year. I can't say it enough. This is so much fun.

2) You f***ing jerks are killing it. Every card is so good. Usually there are like 3-4 easy matches and there are no easy matches. The creativity this year is through the roof.

[Cor]

I won't speak to your entire card, but your Main Event was great. One change I would have made would have been to have Adam Cole vs Christian straight up.

Jinder Mahal is considered a jobber here, so having him in one of your title matches didn't really help you.

As soon as you got both Matt & Jeff, I think priority number one should have been to find another top tag team to face them, even if you lost out on Christian due to it. Even if you nagged Roderick Strong instead of Steve Blackman, Adam Cole + Roderick Strong vs The Hardy's would have done extremely well and then you find someone else to face Christian. Heck, Bulldog vs Christian could work with the right story behind it.

I will have a look at this later, though I think that many of your matches were correct given the wrestlers. It was a good card overall and a solid improvement from the card last year. This card has a lot of really out there characters so some pairings become tricky.
