2026 Wrestling History Draft- Sign up/Discussion Thread

[Cereal Killer]

Benoit has become like Voldemort for me. Back in the day huge fan, now I can't bring myself to talk about him, let alone watch anything.

 

[Just Juice]

I very well knew the risk when I took him. If people vote against me for it, that's fair. I don't even blame them tbh. I accept it.

Saving Grace. You have him lose lol

 

[King Kong Booty]

Saving Grace. You have him lose lol

I don’t think we are booking outcomes

 

[Blazehausen]

If we booked winners. He definitely would at least lose lol. But yeah I am sure its just the card.

 

[King Kong Booty]

You guys pissed off Mr PG so much he didn’t make his pick and went to go kick a puppy

 

[Tremendez]

He’s making a post in here.

I would’ve told him if I knew ahead of time that he could’ve made his pick first lol

 

[Tremendez]

I don’t know if we will or not on the actual voting Threads, but I’ll very much say in the discussion thread who’s winning my matches lol

 

[Chris]

Yeah the voting should be pre-show IMO, how hype the card makes you want to watch it. I'll probs fantasy book my winners too tho

 

[Just Juice]

You all lose points for predetermining the wrong winners

 

[King Kong Booty]

I used to have people vote for the winners when I did one of these one year r

After seeing the continued passive-aggressive and petty sniping in the messages, I'm quitting. I am leaving this entire message board and I'd wish you the best of luck, but from what I've seen, I don't think you'd know what to do with it. My suggestion is to leave my picks alone or try to replace me because there isn't a fair way to redistribute them. Maybe some of you see this as silly. That's because it is. It's almost as silly as complaining that somebody who is competing against you appears to be trying to disrupt your plans, thus stopping you from winning.

At the suggestion of one of the parties involved (feel free to step forward if you want to take credit for this idea) there will be a trade round after Round 20. This should allow the rectification of the current situation. I will not be altering anybody's picks (though it was suggested) due to the inherent unfairness of taking away somebody's picks, letting somebody pick twice to make it up the lost pick, and/or preventing somebody else from picking to make up for the extra wrestler they just got. I would like to clarify a few things.

1) The reason there was no specific rule written regarding tag teams or stables was that it seemed unnecessary. Once one member of a team is taken, there are pretty much three directions it can go: A) this person was so associated with his partner that the partner's draft stock sinks significantly in everybody else's eyes (Road Warriors, Bushwackers, or Nasty Boys for example), B) direction A, but only applying to the partner (example: Marty Janetty is not worth as much without Shawn Michaels to team with), or C) the partner still had a well known singles career (or was famous for more than one team like Billy Gunn) and you have to be prepared that somebody else might have an idea for the partner.

2) This is a friendly competition, but the operative word is "competition". If you reveal your plan to 15 people whose primary or secondary goal involves you losing, you should definitely have a plan B. My original plan involved a tag team barbed wire match with a team that I'm probably not going to draft anymore because I erroneously believed that Sabu would be on the table for two or three more rounds than he was. The ability to pivot when things are going wrong is the mark of a champion.

So many posts that I've skipped most of the posts. All I'm going to say is, it's a draft. No one is guaranteed to be yours just because you've drafted someone else.

But even earlier there have been posts about people taking other people's picks. A draft like this with 16 people often means your shortlist needs to lowered in expectation.

On top of that, rage bait comments are probably worse than anything else.

Let's focus on having fun

That's got to be the smartest thing I've read all day. Given that I'm on the clock, I'll have us going again in less than five minutes,

 

[Tremendez]

I still disagree with the assertion that because it’s a competition that we can’t have a little bit of respect for each other and an agreement to abide by some mutually beneficial “norms” that aren’t necessarily rules, but I won’t bring it up again.

I did bring up the trade because I do think that it’s still the easiest way to solve all this and I will be offering one to troop if he’s interested at the end who knows maybe we won’t make the trade, but I’ll see what he’s got at the end and we’ll see if we can work something out because I don’t want to be the reason why he didn’t get to do what he wanted to do.

 

[Tremendez]

Also Jesus. You got me in the first half brother. No need to quit over this

 

[Tremendez]

My turn I see.

 

[Blazehausen]

If anyone takes Hornswoggle before I can take him in round 20 I'll be very very mad..
