I think it can lead to some creativity and make things interesting.

I guess one question I would have is at what point do you declare who your tag teams are?

Probably after your draft I think.

Doesn't appear to be any blowback, questions, concerns about any of this. I'll wait until Bad Ass comes along to shit all over everything before I finalize it.  TOLD YA!! hahaha |

Nothing is stopping you from doing that anyway. It is just dumb to separate legit tag teams that have been tag teams their whole career. You can still be creative and put whoever you want together.

You are trying to stop Vince Russo from booking Animal as the surprise entrant of my fatal four way title match. |

I do think it would be pretty dumb if someone picks Cash Wheeler and then the next guy picks Dax Harwood just to be a penis.
And then the next round those two guys go at it with one guy taking Nick Jackson so then the other guy takes Matt Jackson.
And then they work out a trade to get the traditional teams back together.
I mean what would be the point of all that?

I mean what would be the point of all that? And even worse...... what if a trade can't be worked out? Then the Young Bucks & FTR would no longer be a thing even though it's the only thing either team has ever done? Dumb |

Doubtful but could happen. There's too many guys to go after to do that. Drafting individuals gets us out of having to vote if a tag team is qualified or not. Let's just not even have to approach that path.

You'll have to get creative and pair that guy with someone else. Like I said you really think someone is going to waste a picky on Butch after you take Luke? |

Where this could happen is if someone drafts Jeff Hardy, hoping to form the Hardy Boys and someone drafts Matt. Both get good singles though.

The amount of sense KS is making this morning is scaring me.
Again there is nothing stopping the GM from being creative with who they draft and putting together their own tag teams. But having to draft individual members of a tag team that has been a tag team their whole career is just plain dumb. If someone drafts the Headbangers no one is complaining they can't draft Beaver Cleaver. Or vice versa.

Hopefully we can use some level of the honor system here. I guarantee I'd be the first one to fuck around and mess with someone like my Bushwackers example. But can we try to not purposely destroy the team/person's draft if the tag/singles rule goes through? I like having everyone here again. Lol

It is going to happen because that is the whole point of a draft. Make the best team you can while not giving the other draftees options and essentially limiting what they can do. We do it every year in fantasy football. |

Well if someone's not going to do that, then why can't they just be drafted as a tag in the first place? because of teams like the rockers, hardy's, Booker and Goldust, etc. Drafting singles causes no need to vote on anything. we will have to vote on tag teams as you and randomone have already disagreed on an example. why cause those stoppages in the draft? |

The difference is those are also established singles stars. Same with edge and christian. You would knowingly be drafting them as a tag team just to get both singles wrestlers. I stand by my previous Headbangers example. |

Reading 2 pages worth of stuff gave me a headache, haha.
I’m in the camp of draft tag teams and don’t throw guys together randomly. HOWEVER, I’m more than fine being outvoted. In no way is this a deal breaker. I’m fine with whatever.
I just hope you’re ready for Joey Ryan and Al Snow as my tag champs, The Dick Heads (I’m not drafting either of those dudes)
I would say we add much more singles slots though if we are doing away with the tag team category.

You will. You just may not get as many tag teams with some top solo stars down the road. |

I'm still laughing from The Dick Heads....
again, you guys are proving my point when your 6th tag team might have to be to random's paired together based on how the draft went. We need this content.

Also, if we do the singles thing it will add 2 more days to the Draft. For a total of 9 days.
