Fuck off! I'm taking Dusty.

[Stockholm Syndrome]

Quick question, should we treat cruiseweight/lightheavyweight titles as midcard titles? And what about the hardcore title?

I'd say all titles below the main one is a midcard title

I'd say all titles below the main one is a midcard title

Yep, I considered ruling out some of the lowest end ones but I feel like every IC Champ during the hardcore era held that belt too

Samie: Lance Storm, Booker T and Stevie Ray, Giant Gonzalez
Tubby: Edge and Christian, Steve Austin

You guys are wild as hell hahahaha fuck. How do multiple people go for Harlem Heat while the Hardyz and Outlaws are picked up unopposed?

Special commiserations to Tubby, who took Austin, told everyone he took Austin, and then got spite-fucked by Betty!

And congrats to Wullie and Lawnmowerman for filling out your teams!

[Something Worse]

OP has the requirements for each team if you're getting lost.

[Samie]

Yes! I have my man. 

[Betty Blue]

Mission accomplished.

Disappointed in the lack of tactical blocking from others though. That's half the fun in these things!

[Samie]

Elzhar blocked me on of all things on Harlem Heat for fucks sake.

[Something Worse]

Mission accomplished.

Disappointed in the lack of tactical blocking from others though. That's half the fun in these things!

Maybe Kloppagetime was trying to block you all for HBK?

[Betty Blue]

Maybe Kloppagetime was trying to block you all for HBK?

I'm talking more about the guys with midcard picks. I tried to do it picking Arn last round. I'd have loved to see someone cockblock the Hardyz via Matt.

[Lawnmowerman]

Had no idea that was encouraged in these sheep things

[Wullie160975]

Yes! I have my man. 

I see your giant and raise you

[Betty Blue]

Had no idea that was encouraged in these sheep things

Yep, half the fun in these things is torpedoing other people's picks. Sure, you can go about your own business and create a decent team, but fucking someone else over is so much more fun.

FFS Lobo.

How have you both picked a tag team I've literally never heard of 

[tubby]

How have you both picked a tag team I've literally never heard of 

This doesn't bode well for voting, they've been one of the major tag teams of the past 10 years.

[Betty Blue]

This doesn't bode well for voting, they've been one of the major tag teams of the past 10 years.

I don't know anything about wrestling post-early 00s.

[tubby]

I don't know anything about wrestling post-early 00s.

This is what it looks like these days.

[Betty Blue]

This is what it looks like these days.

Does anyone do a leg drop as a finishing move?

[Samie]

Some of these newbies would fuckup a leg drop mate.

[tubby]

Does anyone do a leg drop as a finishing move?

Yep!  But from the top rope with a triple somersault.

[Betty Blue]

Yep!  But from the top rope with a triple somersault.

I bet none of them can do ring psychology like Jake though.

[Stockholm Syndrome]

This doesn't bode well for voting, they've been one of the major tag teams of the past 10 years.

There's a bunch of wrestlers I have avoided because I was worried those voting may not know them, although I failed on the tag team (hoping to get some votes on the back of Sheamus being a red though  )

[Wullie160975]

Is NJWP counting as a major promotion?

[tubby]

Is NJWP counting as a major promotion?

Yeah any major foreign promotion.

[Something Worse]

Yeah any major foreign promotion.

Yeah that's how Brock got through the first round.

ROUND 6 RESULTS

Tubby: The Young Bucks, Mr Perfect
Lobo: The Wild Samoans
Kloppagetime:The Young Bucks
Hellrazor: Minnesota Wrecking Crew (Gene and Lars Anderson), Ultimate Warrior
Stockholm Syndrome: Mr Perfect
XabiArt: Yokozuna
Y2J:
Liverluke:

Hahaha poor Tubby!

Congrats to Lobo, Hellrazor and Xabi for finishing their teams!

[Betty Blue]

Epic stuff 

Theoretically, these two could block eachother for every tag team with 3 belts or more.

[tubby]

FFS.

[Something Worse]

I'm so glad this is happening to a season veteran and not some poor guy who's doing their first ever sheep draft haha.

[Something Worse]

ROUND 7 RESULTS

Tubby: Kerry Von Erich and Bruiser Brody, Rob Van Dam
Stockholm Syndrome: Randy Orton
Kloppagetime: LAX (Hernandez and Homicide)

Amazing. And Randy Orton is the pick of the draft IMO.

ONE FINAL ROUND

You may now pick one wrestler from the ineligible list to replace one of your own. There is no risk here, but sheep rules apply and they must be a like for like replacement eg Owen Hart for midcard or wildcard, not to replace a World Champion.

If two people pick the same wrestler nobody gets him and you both keep your original wrestlers. This is it. After this your teams are final. If you would rather not change anyone let me know or it's the full 24 hour deadline.

YOU MUST TELL ME WHO YOU ARE DROPPING AS WELL OR YOUR PICK IS NULL AND VOID

[Betty Blue]

Can I vote that we not do a final round?

I think someone said earlier that this is the first time we've ever had a set of really balanced teams in a Survivor Series. Feels like this round will likely ruin this.

I'm going to bed, but I'm happy to go with the majority on this so I'll see what you decide in the am.

Sound, I don't mind either. Just enjoying not seeing Stone Cold and Bret auto-winning the draft for someone.

[El Lobo]

Yeah I’d leave it as it is

[Stockholm Syndrome]

Yeah I am fine finishing up now (then again I think my team is quite strong so I am a bit biased )

[Elzar]

Finish up now, the teams are interesting
