Wow.

This was far tougher, than what I thought it would be.

I've stared at this for like 5 minutes now.


With @ColePens I'm not sure about Becky & AJ being the main event, when you have people like Rousey, Toyota, Chyna, Blanchard on the card. It seems like those matches can bring the show to such a level in terms of quality, that Becky & AJ.... may not be able to match? But at the end of the day, that's match positioning, Becky vs AJ would still be good, and in terms of doing an All Women's card, I'm not sure you could pull it off any better, other than getting Charlotte onto the card

Looking at @Emperoreddy Daniels vs Ospreay may be the best wrestling quality between the two cards, Uso's & Sabin/Shelley would do their thing, Orton vs Orton would be incredibly fun to watch, Cena/Tanahashi speaks for itself and Kong vs Bull would be good for what it was.


This is so incredibly difficult because I think both of you nailed what you wanted to do.

I honestly need more time

 

[ColePens]

Good luck Emp! To quote your beautiful hfwf character....

f*** em!!!!

 

[ColePens]

Lot of love to @Disclose who helped too. My thought ever since we started doing the draft was to try and put the best womens ppv on ever. After evolution last year, i knew that i had to try.

Delivered. The top three matches could've been the closer, I lean toward Chyna Rousey as they truly are the 1 on 1 best possible top female vs top female,(not that it matters, just me lol) and Rhea vs Tessa might steal the entire show.

..and Buddy knows what's up based on certain likes of picks.

 

[JackSlater]

Concise matchup. ColePens was very bold to try an all women card. Credit for Toyota vs Asuka, a legitimately great match and probably the best women matchup we've ever seen in this thing. The problem is that there isn't a lot of quality depth to the history of women's wrestling yet, so one card devoted to that gimmick is tough with other GMs also taking women throughout the draft. I respect the effort and it turned out better than I expected. EmperorEddy's card feels unfinished to me, though I know that it's an attempt at an NXT style short PPV. It's significant to me that Nakano vs Kong can more than compete with any women's match on the other card short of Asuka - Toyota. Anyway, some build for either card likely would have swayed me but I ended up narrowly going with EmperorEddy's card.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Good luck Emp! To quote your beautiful hfwf character....

**** em!!!!

You too. I will read through your card later.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Also yes this was an attempt at a no nonsense NXT style card. Get you in, wow uou, send you home at a reasonable hour.

 

[CHGoalie27]

@JackSlater build up, it just posted and there's 3 days to fight for the next round, and as it stands there's not many premature...voters

I'm not really going to consider anything added after the deadline. If people add stuff then that's fine I suppose for entertainment purposes. I'll read whatever is posted at least.

I thought a womens ppv would not be interesting, I was wrong.
That card is bananaz.

Ronda vs Chyna = M.O.N.E.Y. and it's not even the main-event.

 

[The Burdened]

Easily Option 2.

Option 1 offers very little in regards to variety. Not one gimmick match? Not even a tag match? The one match that isn't a straight 1v1 is a squash (and was an unfortunate waste of Aja Kong tbh); does nothing for me. Card needed match type variety in the worst way.

Only critique for @Emperoreddy is I wish he would've found a different opponent for Randy. Even if he bumped Ospreay up to the Orton match, that would be must see.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

I don't like the Orton match because Bob Orton is meh in my mind but otherwise, I really dig the rest of Emp's card. I will say this though, I do tip my hat to ColePens for trying something that has never been attempted in 5 years of doing these. It was a good effort and I don't really think you card could be that much better, so a very solid draft on your part.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Didn’t even realize Emp had Ospreay too. Wow, Orton/Ospreay.

 

[Cor]

I decided on ColePens.

Tough man.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Orton/Ospreay was definitely heavily considered but I wanted to spread the wealth a bit, and my thinking was I wanted something for everyone.

Spot fest high octane for those who like that and a more story based psychological match for others.

I totally got the risk of t because it did leave an awesome potential match on the table.

 

[Emperoreddy]

@ColePens card is indeed awesome. I think the most impressive is being able to pull off a high quality women’s only PPV in this draft format.

Really well done.

 

[quoipourquoi]

Two of my favorite cards. A.Kong/Nakano. Usos/MCMG. Yes, please.

CP kept me on my toes all draft long. I’d fly out to that show.

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

I went with Eddy here, as I expect a lot more gaga and shenanigans and fun to be involved.

ColePens card is better than I expected, but I think he suffers having people like AJ Lee and Chyna in prominent roles and to me, I think they'd be exposed as not very good in the ring.

 

[les Habs]

@ColePens : As you know women's wrestling doesn't interest me much. Still I wouldn't let that detract much if at all from a good card and in fairness I wanted to judge your card on merit. I think doing this card actually gives you an advantage because not many women will be taken early on. However I would have liked to see you take a few others, like Alexa Blyss for example and maybe do more with a Nia Jax. I do like some of the matches here though. Rousey v Chyna would a great build even if Chyna might not deliver in the ring. Asuke v Toyoto would be another really good match. I'm also a Beth Phoenix fan. At the end of the day I could never do what you did and so I have to give you credit.

@Emperoreddy : You've got some really good matches here, but it's such a small card. I think when you bowed out that there was plenty of talent to add a match or three, but I also respect how subjective this process is. I think the main event, the Ortons family feud and the tag team match are all quite good. I also like Ospreay a lot. Still I'd love some context here. Take the Ortons for example. How old are they? What's the feud about? I think that's easily done too. I don't need too much, but just something additional to spice it up a bit.

 

[Emperoreddy]

@ColePens is a nightmare first round matchup every year. I was lucky I didn’t match up until way later the year I won.
