STAR ROSTER & FOREIGN TRANSFER RESULTS
The results are in... Please find your star roster and foreign transfer draft picks along with your starting budgets for this season. Obviously, the better quality of wrestlers you pick, the bigger impact this will have on budgets. All draft picks have been valued carefully and will remain anonymous to nt cause any further arguments... Rosters will be finalized and randomly drawn on Monday.

Viper I will give you a Mars Bar, the change in my pocket, a firm handshake, and half drunk bottle of Lucozade and the soul of my first born for CM Punk.

We can't talk deals yet sorry Samo but once we can I'm sure we can work something out that helps us both...I missed out on Foley sadly which would have made it easier for you but like I said, get in touch once deals are open.

Not a problem but know that I have pretty good genetics and my kid will be a belter.

Looking across theres some good foundations there for rosters, looking forward to seeing how it pans out.

Is it ok if i post my roster page now...obviously we only have one or two members BUT I like to be organised etc.

An interesting mix of picks across the board.

How on earth are Kurt Angle and Steve Austin together worth £30 million less than Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage?! How are those numbers generated? Makes no sense.

I assume it's because Orton is worth more than Zayn?

I'm also sticking my roster page up now to save doing it later, if I put it in the wrong place feel free to move it/tell me off!

I think it's fair enough. You got 3 big and more current names than Hogan and Savage.

All evens out anyway once we get our rosters and start trading

I thought Star Picks were free?

No idea. I do know that Angle was one of the most expensive when I did this. Over 50m. Expect Austin to be the same.

Savage I remember was brought in foreign for 35m

Star picks and both foreigns come out of your starting budget from what I understood...End and Cornette wouldn't have cost too much but I did bid £45m for Punk

Marky/Samo...dare I ask what your bids were?

I just think it's crazy that both of those are worth so much more than Hogan and Savage.

I'd guess that Hogan and Savage were £45m each and Zayn coming to around £20m and Austin and Angle would be around £45m each with Orton being about £30m...I think though that Austin and Rock may be in the £50m territory.

its a supply & demand things tbh. ppl rarely sign either unless near end of season at a much lower price then now, whilst austin & angle picked up regularly

Doesn't take much for it to add up to 30m difference

Austin>Hogan by 7.5m
Angle>Savage by 7.5m
Orton>Zayn by 15m

That's 30m and looks about right from seasons gone by. Like I said, it all evens out. It's how you use them more than who you got.

Im sure I bid about 40m for Punk

I bid £45m sorry Samo...I only did that because I wanted an even number!

Star Picks are free though, that's the point.

All clarified then. We can get on with the season.

Can Engima and Fernando clarify?

I know some of the rules have changed already but I have one more to suggest...when it comes to foreign transfers I think we should be able to buy ANYONE as long as we can justify it...WWA should be about creating new things so if we can justify bringing Snoop Dog in or boxing stars who may not have appeared before...why not?

Bloody Hell! Have the weekend off and all everybody starts kicking off!

Going to be honest here... Star Picks were originally meant to be apart of the deduction of starting budgets but at the very last moment we decided to drop it. We believe everybody had a level playing field in picking who they wanted regardless of their motive... While those of you who are new would most likely want your favourites, others would want to retain from previous seasons who hold a much more sentimental value. In random assigned rosters there are mid-card names who mean much more to others who would end up paying over the odds... Make Sense?

Now Foreign Transfer Bids... Twist pretty much nailed it on the head when he tried to explain. When we value wrestlers, we keep in mind of number of things. Accolades, Popularity, Ability, Current Relevance and much more... Although Hulk Hogan is the biggest name in the business, the same could be said for John Cena and after 10 seasons here, he's most likely to bring you at best a trade for somebody like D'Von Dudley. Randy Savage was a huge name for what 3-4 years in the late 80's / early 90's?!? From there he only did bit-part angles in WCW and such and is a much less in-demand name here hence the value.

I hope that offers more clarity on the values we have added.

Viper - As always we will discuss almost every idea put forward so shall discuss with the rest of the board and let you know.

This is my argument for the changes:

WWA has been and is about creating something new, by only using people who have been involved already we are limiting ourselves and I don't get why. Wrestling companies have a history of bringing in celebrities, athletes and pop stars and I believe that if we can justify them we should be able to as well to create something brand new.

This would mean whoever gets Sasha Banks could bring in Snoop Dog, the Green Power Ranger would be available (he now does MMA) and it opens up a host of new options that we won't have seen before.

What does everyone think? I feel like the person I want may be obvious.

Liam I think you change the rules to suit your needs.

I don't change the rules, I'm just suggesting something before the season starts which is what Enigma asked for.

I meant you only suggest things that suit your direct needs.

This would help other people as well, in the past people have wanted certain foreign transfers who didn't qualify in previous seasons due to them not being in any wrestling promotions but being in the MMA world.

Name them.

So I could buy David Cameron and get Savage to drop a big elbow on him?

Rather keep it to people who have been involved in wrestling in the past.

As I said if you can justify it then you should be able to bring that person in...David Cameron you'd have a bit of an issue I think. I'm talking more MMA, Boxing or other fighting guys...the way that WWE have brought in Mayweather/Rousey and TNA brought in Tito Ortiz etc

So you want to bring in Conor McGregor

As always if haven't appeared on a wrestling show (raw/sd/nxt/PWG/TNA etc) Your bid will fail.

Marky wrote:So you want to bring in Conor McGregor

Yeah and I think it makes sense.

1. He's been shown to have interest in crossing promotions with him talking about possibly fighting Mayweather
2. He's called out Sheamus in the past
3. MMA guys have been brought in to wrestling promotions in the past
4. I want to do something new, not use old names that have been used by WWE/TNA or ROH (althought I might go for Tom Lawlor)

Fernando wrote:As always if haven't appeared on a wrestling show (raw/sd/nxt/PWG/TNA etc) Your bid will fail.

Makes perfect sense.

Now the two big issues have been cleared up, what's the next stage? Do we PM a group of numbers for roster picks or something?

Nope will roster pots are done i shall use Random.org and place them in a spreadsheet then copy & paste to here everyone's rosters.

If I brought McGregor in I'd just be doing what other promotions have done but with a guy of my own which as I've said is what WWA should be about...doing something new.

I'd just put your case together in Foreign Transfers when they're open rather than go on about it now.

Cool, I want to bring in Wayne Rooney then. He is more legit then McGregor as he was actually involved in an angle on the show.

Or.... Just keep it as the rules Nando said which makes sense. Until Maccy G is involved in a wrestling promotion then it's a no

Rooney v Wade Barrett

That would be acceptable as would Jose Mourinho when he appeared on Raw

That's the thing, you can bring in Rooney, Donald Trump, Snooki

Yep. Because they have an established connection to a wrestling fed.

Conor hasn't.

Twist, Engel, are you two making a wrestling version of emmerdale?

Holkyoaks mate.
