The Initial Roster Opinions & Discussion Thread [Superstars Draft]

[Kross Rhodes]

Drafting has officially come to a close. Now that our rosters have taken shape, it's good time to take a moment and look at each others rosters. Give our thoughts and share our opinions. Who do we think shows potential. What advise, or constructive criticism, can we give certain bookers. What are some of the strengths we see in certain brands. What are the main weaknesses we see.

Last but certainly not least, under initial observation, who do you think fared the best in the draft?

Any and all roster related discussion can be had here.

Discuss.

[Postman Dave]

The roster's I like best (apart from my own) are Booty's, Fuji's & #HEEL's, simply because I feel they choose a theme and stuck to it well. Booty's is full of guys with charisma and is guaranteed to entertain, Fuji's old school stiff-fest would be a spectacle to witness, and #HEEL's Monday Night War recall is old school fantasy booking at it's best.

This is no offence to anyone else's, everyone did great, I just like to see people take an idea and run with it.

Honourable mention to Kushikimi for the sheer variety of talent involved in his promotion by avoiding WWE for the most part.

 

[Fuji Vice]

I went with LB's for the same reason of theme. I love that he stuck with all masked wrestlers and it should make for a very interesting fed. I actually like everyone's rosters though, so it will be great to see what we all do with them.

 

[Call of Duty]

Personally, I think my brother(#HEEL) has the best roster mainly because I grew up watching a little bit of wrestling with him so I was conditioned to admire the same people(as in, he would beat the living shit out of me if I didn't).

 

[W-olf]

I could have went with Kush , Professor or Heel .

They all have favorites of mine but Professor has more and focuses on teams and stables as I do hehe.

 

[Catfish Billy]

I'm liking most peoples shows now tbh ...
