WWE Fantasy Draft

[Deleted]

If everyone's still up for this!

We'll draft and our goal is to be done by WrestleMania is over. Here's how it works:

You'll need:
3 main roster superstars
1 main roster tag team
1 main roster diva

That will be your "Starting 5"

We'll also have 2 extra picks, one will be your "Sixth Man" and the other will be your "Bench".

Starter - Any win or loss they receive on Raw, SmackDown, PPV, or deemed special event will count for or against you.
Sixth Man - Any win on Raw, SmackDown, or deemed special event will count for or against you, but a loss suffered on PPV won't count against you, but a win would help.
Bench - Anyone on the bench will not count for or against you, unless you sub them into your Starting Lineup during the season. So basically, a reserve in case of injury or performance issues.


After this draft takes place and we get into about a month of this Fantasy Game, we'll draft a couple of NXT guys to be in our "D-League", where when they come up, you have the rights to them and they'll go onto your bench. If your team is full at 7 players, you'll be given the option of cutting one of your players for the NXT guy, or letting that NXT wrestler into the free agency pool. So this obviously means NO NXT GUYS CAN BE DRAFTED THIS TIME AROUND!

Also, if one of your guys retire or are released (non-kayfabe), you obviously can cut them from your team and pick out of the free agency pool.

Here's our Scoring System:

SPOILER: Click to show

Title retention or gain on any show - 5 points (must walk away with the belt [ie. Rollins(c) def Reigns via DQ, Rollins would earn points])
Pinfall or Submission victory on PPV or special event - 4 points (Preshows only count for 2 points)
Pinfall or Submission victory on Raw - 2 points
Pinfall or Submission victory on SmackDown - 2 points
Win by any other way (Battle Royal, etc) - 2 points [ROYAL RUMBLE is 4 POINTS]
DQ victory or Countout victory - 1 point
Loss by Pinfall or Submission - 0.5 point
Loss by DQ or Countout - 0 points
*SUBJECT TO CHANGE*

And if you're confused, what if a title changes hands on Raw or SmackDown? The max in that case is only 5 points, and same goes for a PPV or special event, they'd allow gain 5 points, not 6, 7, or 9.

So before we start, I have to address something that might become a problem in the future while drafting. We have to go by Wikipedia's WWE roster page, since the new WWE.com has jumbled everything together. I know, for instance, it puts Eva Marie on the roster. If you'd like to draft Eva, that's totally up to you and is allowed, even if she goes through NXT now, if she's on the roster page, she can be all yours. That however goes against your 7, and if she's not wrestling on Raw, SmackDown, or a WWE PPV/special event, she can't earn you points. If she wins at a NXT show, sorry, that won't count towards your fantasy team. By my estimations, there's about 70 (give or take) eligible wrestlers that can be selected for this 8-team fantasy league, which should be plenty. But if we get down to Round 7 and begin taking Fandango, Eva Marie, Emma, and Triple H, that's okay, they can remain on your bench and could be an easy-cut once your NXT D-League guy comes to the main roster.

Okay, now it's time to start drafting. But BEWARE, your first overall pick should be chosen very carefully, because they're etched into your Starting Lineup for the first month and the only way to part ways with them in Season 1, is to trade them to another team. So GMs, let's begin!

LISTEN! If you can't make a selection within 48 hours, message me your top 10 desired and I'll pick for you once it's your turn based on the order of the list. If you can't make a selection within 48 hours, the next person can go in front of you, and then you're bumped to the bottom of the round. If 50 hours pass and the next person still hasn't picked, you can go take your turn and be okay.


Again, we hope to end this by the close of WrestleMania 32 on April 3rd, so we can begin the night after with Raw. If, however, we progress further than such, we might look into beginning at WrestleMania. And keep in mind, this is our FIRST TIME doing this. There'll be kinks we need to work out before Season 2 hits, so I'd like to stay with this idea for at least 2-3 seasons worth. I plan on having this season last until Night of Champions, so if a superstar's out until after then, you can feel free to pick them, let them sit out the first season, and then ask to retain them for Season 2.


RULES IN SHORT:
Starting 5 is 3 main superstars, tag team, and diva (you can select The Usos with one selection)
Have a Sixth Man and Benchwarmer
Can't draft a NXT guy yet, but anyone on WWE.com's roster is fair gain for you to choose (ie. Emma or Eva Marie)
#1 overall pick is locked in your Starting Lineup for first month and can't be released during Season 1
48 hours to make a selection

ALSO KEEP IN MIND:
Season 1 ends at Night of Champions (subject to change)
Heading into Season 2, if you wish to return to the WWE Fantasy Game, you can return one player from your Season 1 team
The NXT D-League draft in May/June, once they're drafted, their rights are yours until you release, trade, or no longer want to continue

Joey is on the clock with the first overall pick.


Also, if possible guys, I'd like to ask that once you make your pick, look to see who is next and tag them to speed the process along. But we're going in snake order, so you'll have to check to make sure that person is indeed next.

[Joey]

Roman Reigns

[Deleted]

Darn! Joey just got the #1 target on my board. (literally, I just made a draft board lol)

Anywho, Cole is up next.

[Gʀᴀɴɢᴇʀ]

Heyyyy why am I not a part

[Cole]

Dean Ambrose

[Deleted]

Good pick Cole!! Professor Berch is up next.

[Professor Berch]

AJ Styles

[Deleted]

It's SP's turn .... Hopefully by him we'll actually get the other guys tagging so I don't up my post count and can still keep this flowing lol

And the top guys on my draft board can finally stick.

[SP]

Kevin Owens

[Deleted]

Seeing how my guys are dropping like flies now, I should've rigged the order for me to be numbers 1-6...

With that said, RED, you're up in the draft.

[RED]

I select Bray Wyatt


Yannic is next but...I don't know how to tag someone!

You do the "@" and then their login name... Like yours wouldn't be "@ RED", it would be "@ Redeyeddemon" without the space.


For example, Yannic is next


btw, all of my Top 5 on my draft board's gone.... I knew I should've rigged this.

[Yannic]

Sorry for the massive delay.

I pick Kalisto

[Deleted]

I'll take The New Day right now with my tag team pick, hoping they don't split before the season is over.

Jigsaw will make his first and second round selections now.
