I think HH is talking about the actual title images. Also, we've received one list from a writer interested in playing but unable to make the draft (BB). Anyone else interested in this method, be sure to send us a list of your top 10 (or more/less, you do you) choices and if they aren't currently assigned to a brand then which company you'd prefer them to go to. yes,this is what i mean

For clarification, sign-ups close at Noon EST tomorrow. A draft order will be determined via randomizer from there, and will be announced well before the draft so people can have an idea of who will be available when.
Again, if you can't make it, send your preferred top ten to the GMs.

We're also be posting the randomized draft order on Saturday. So everyone will be able to get a decent sense of when they'll be up.

Draft Clarifications: Each writer is allowed up to two superstars/divas/managers in WWE and up to two superstars/divas/managers in WCW. That isn't counting tag rules that you can add on to your wrestler/manager/diva after the draft concludes. The draft will be starting Sunday and will be four rounds. If you aren't interested in starting off with four characters, that is perfectly acceptable but just let us know so we can remove your name from that last round or two and speed up the process. If you transferred one character over (and already have them on the first post) then that will take the place of your 4th round pick. If you transferred two characters over (and already have them on the first post) then that will take the place of your 3rd and 4th round pick. The draft will be spearheaded and ran by FJ. The randomized order will be posted on Saturday. The Opening Bell will be Sunday 10am Eastern (7am Western, 3pm GMT). We're leaning towards giving each person "on the clock" up to three hours to get a pick in. If you're afraid that you might not be here when it is your turn (we'll tag you at that time to make sure you get a notification), it is a good idea to send a list into us four GMs and we'll pick purely based off of your priority/preference. That is the safest option to avoid missing your pick and having to wait until your next turn before being able to make a selection. Either way, this is going to be fun. And soon enough... the games will begin. That being said, are there any questions? Because it is better to talk this out now than run into confusion in the middle of the actual draft.

Just to clarify: we can select indy wrestlers with name recognition for WCW (ie, I wouldn't necessarily be able to pick local talent Nick Lovin, but Biff Busick would be acceptable).
Just want to make sure I don't have an obscure pick. Last time we had something like this, I went with Team MackTion (one of whom would go on to be Arthur Rosenberg and get squashed by Ryback), and no one had any idea who they were.

You're allowed to pick Indy talent for either WWE or WCW. It's not a situation where only one company gets that ability/luxury.
The main things we're looking for are prominence/how well known are they (a wikipedia page helps with that sort of thing) and if they are an active wrestler.
Using your examples, you nailed it. Each GM obviously has their own interpretation but in my view Nick Lovin wouldn't be allowed but Biff Busick would. With Team Macktion, I can't find any examples of them wrestling post 2012 so they wouldn't be allowed under the "active wrestler rule" unless you could find some example/evidence.
With those sort of people, I do feel it is pretty much just a blank slate sort of thing. People most likely don't know who they are so it doesn't matter if you chose Nick Lovin or Chris Kadillak but putting that personality in a more known name like Anthony Nese, Robbie E, or even Drago would help people attach a face to the character/gimmick. I always feel like having a face to connect with the name helps people visualize and support characters easier. But that's just my theory on it.

Current people signed up for the draft Antihero/Baritone Armbar Brainbustaah Cageking Chaos X Effect DJ Magnum Double H Fake Jesus Giul T Gus Richlen Hayden/Straight Rudo Jono Lodirulz Matt Mr B RKTaker Spartan Super Albino Suave Gentleman Waffel
with the only person who had expressed interest not currently signed up being Amigo, but luckily I don't suspect the person he was interested in (Nokken) being taken in the draft so he would have the potential to pick him up at a later time.
That being said... a little less than one and a half hours before this becomes set and a randomized draft order can be figured out.
