Let's get this going.

I am looking to trade Daniel Bryan and my #1 next year. I'm looking to win now and have no idea what DB's status is. Now lowball but if you are punting it mig be a good trade for you.

Can you please remind me of the rules about prospects. Can I call up my prospect during the draft and draft a new prospect?

You can switch or reassign any prospect eligible guy as your prospect up until the 1st roster locks in.

So yeah, you can rearrange your current guys and make a different guy a prospect.

Impressive draft speed. I was wondering does the season run through Wrestlemania or Extreme Rules?

so do we drop Main Event from scoring or is that its on Hulu good enough?

It appears WWE Main Event will be off the WWE Network for several months, according to sources in WWE. We noted that Main Event wouldn't be airing next week due to a contract issue between WWE and Sky Sports that prevents Main Event from being shown on the WWE Network in the UK. That issue reportedly will not be resolved any time soon.
The current time frame for Main Event's return to the WWE Network is late summer or early fall as geoblocking could be put into place by then so Main Event could be blocked in the UK.

WWE will continue to tape Main Event each week due to international broadcast commitments. It will also still be available on Hulu in the United States.

I would vote yes to keep scoring it, I enjoy watching it and it's more fun knowing it counts for scoring purposes plus adds some value to a lot of superstars.

I'd vote no because Hulu isn't a tv station.

After watching Amazon Prime and Netflix take home all the TV Golden Globes I'm not sure that's relevant anymore anyway.

Well if we are going to score Main Event then we should be scoring Superstars too. Can no longer differentiate those 2 shows.

You could opt to score Superstars too but the talent quality is generally better on ME.

Well I guess at this point -- if its off regular TV and WWE Network -- I lean towards not scoring it during this Wrestlemania season... and then re-assessing what is going on with it until next season.

Anyone have a clue what VKM is doing with the Ascension? They debuted with awful promos proclaiming how great they are. They squash opponents left over from the early 90's Saturday morning shows. They get trashed by JBL on commentary during those matches. And then last night they cut another awful promo before being pummeled by guys who got a day pass from the nursing home.

And now we are supposed to get excited about their match at the RR against the New Age Outlaws? Sure, they could squash the NAO. But that won't interest me. WWE has really botched their debut after a long wait. They need to fix things fast before the audience completely bails on them.

Well said, their main roster debut has been handled very poorly to say the least.

Re: #15

Yeah I'd say your reply puts a tidy bow on the horrid job the writers (or VKM) have done.

I think they are going to squash NAO and then start moving up the ranks, but i do think that they are doing a terrible job so far.

As for ME, are we not scoring this season going fwd or what was the resolution? Just was thinking to at least not remove it until next season because we already began the season as scoring it- my 0.02.

The issue with continuing to score it now is that either we have to have someone with Hulu, someone who watches from an international market, or score it totally based on a recap. If we use a recap we are blindly trusting someone else and can't really rectify any possible recap errors.

Ok, we got Species vote! so we just need everybody else.

Do we continue to score Main Event this season (available via Hulu only for rest of year)?

I say yes; It's an important part of my weekly Wwe viewing and gives superstars some added value.

I say yes- only because i feel like the talent pool is very weak if you eliminate it. I dont have a super strong feeling either way though

certainly don't eliminate it mid-season, unless scoring it becomes difficult due to it being on Hulu.

Ok - its gonna be up to RJ to post the numbers here each week and I'll add them to the Smackdown total.

We'll decided if we want to continue for next season.

Cool yeah the biggest thing is it gives superstars a little more value; I consider it like a "half show". It's actually filmed before Smackdown.

Same here. Always been my favorite event of the year.

I won't be scoring live. I'll be enjoying the show with friends. I'll score it at some point in the next couple of days.

Looking like I'm not going to make much noise this year. Will be willing to sell some assets for future draft picks or open to negotiations anyway.
