OH HELLO. Here's an idea stolen/manipulated from a TFF thread of a similar nature.

Unfamiliar with King of Trios? Let Wikipedia show you the way:

quote:

King of Trios is a three-night tournament promoted by the Chikara wrestling promotion. The tournament is a different take on the Tag World Grand Prix event that the company is known for annually promoting; in King of Trios, instead of tag teams, there are trios that will compete in six-man tag team matches to see which of them will advance.

Using every wrestler in wrestling history, posters will build a 3-wrestler team in an attempt to be known as the PSP King of Trios champion. So the question is... can you build the greatest King of Trios team of all time?

1. 16 POSTERS will sign up to have teams. You can name your team whatever you want.
2. This will be a SNAKE DRAFT. That means at the end of round 1, the order will reverse. It'll look something like this:

[round]/[poster]
1.1
1.2
1.3
...
1.14
1.15
1.16
2.16
2.15
2.14
...
2.3
2.2
2.1
3.1
3.2
...
3.15
3.16

3. There will be no difference between gimmicks, one wrestler is one wrestler. If you choose Sting, you can't choose Surfer Sting or Crow Sting, you get Sting. Sting is then taken off the board.
4. If you've done a draft before, you know trades are an option. Not here. NO TRADES.
5. You have 12 HOURS to make your selection. Past that time, you will have a wrestler selected for you. Will it be a fair selection? Only the Gods will know.
6. THERE WILL BE AN ACTUAL TOURNAMENT. Once the teams are full, PSP posters will vote to see who advances in the rounds until a winner is chosen. That poster will be showered with pride.

This thread will be used for sign-ups and discussions. Picks thread/voting thread will be different threads. First 16 posters get a team! GOOD LUCK.

I take it we're allowed to pick wrestlers from different eras? Just came up with a cool theme that would unite all three guys I ideally want if so.

My team name has nothing to do with who I'd like to pick. Don't want anyone poaching the winning team's top picks.

Because he's a Mexican luchador in a King of Trios tournament. There's a good chance he'd no-show while Skyde attempts to hold out for more money.
