Season One Draft

[Just Kevin]

Velveteen Dream will be drafted to the main roster during the draft. You know what happens then.. a bunch of local jobbers will be fed to him week after week for a few straight weeks... Points!

I will also add that I think @DualShock is strong competition in having a strong team. Nikki has scored a lot of pins this year, and has won/defended the tag titles with Bliss. I don't see this changing any time soon. He has the strongest booked Smackdown star this year in Kofi. And even though he is face-heavy atm, The Miz could turn heel again to refresh his character.

That was actually the reason for my picks, it seems like these people will receive the best booking IMO at least for the rest of the year, didn't care too much if they're faces or heels. That's why I have chosen Nilki instead of Dolph, something tells me he would leave WWE for a while to do his comedy shows again.
Although the Fiend and Brock are dream picks I'm afraid they will not wrestle very often for the rest of the year and will not bring in too much points.

Or..if you think like Vince, you'll realise that the second he goes to the main roster, he will suffer the same fate as this man.

Like my War Viking Raider Machine Experience duo. Gonna be picking up 6 pts weekly, if not more as I feel like they'll be picking up those tag titles soon after the draft

...You realise that they're already on the main roster right?

Yeah. And they've been beating up random local teams every week for like, ever now. And now that they're finally getting to work with actual roster members... I see big things for them very soon

Can I make a suggestion for season 2?

You could pre-rank the wrestlers and draft according to categories to ensure everyone gets a little bit of everything. Similar to Pokemon usage-based tier system and how they draft them for tournaments.

This isn't like Pokemon battling at all. Having a team of 6 Arceus isn't a risk. Picking all "uber" wrestlers could be a risk as they will likely face off against each other in world title matches/big programs. So there is a risk. Whereas on the other hand diversifying your roster to include main eventers, midcarders, tag team competitors, even undercard men/women could be the more "uber" strategy.

I think it is better if people have the choice to determine what is the riskier strategy, and have the freedom to choose whoever they want as long as it is their turn and the wrestler hasn't already been picked.

Never said it was. I was using that as an example of how to rank the wrestlers. Like main-eventers, mid-card, jobber, etc.

 

[bullyballmm]

I was saying that because there is a reason for Pokemon tiers - a Magikarp would never beat a Gyarados (well maybe if the former was Lv. 100 Max EVs with a good Nature while the latter was the opposite).

There is no need to bring in tiers and force them upon our already limited number of choices. A jobber like Curt Hawkins could go on a winning streak against other jobbers over a few months whilst at the same time an upper mid-carder like Samoa Joe could lose a bunch of matches, some of them being title matches.

 

[Just Kevin]

It doesn't even matter because I'm about to completely dominate this whole thing. No one stands a chance in hell against me.

FITE ME!

I feel like that's good in theory, but harder in practice. Doing it the way that was done this time works rather well, as like Base stated, everyone has freedom over their strategy. It's not like WWE is exactly shallow in the roster pool. Even after 55 picks made, there's still main eventers as free agents. My suggestion would be to the participants, to make better utilization of the lists
