Basically it'd be drafting a roster of talent (in this case, the all-time ROH roster) for a major supercard, and then people would vote on which one is the best. I think it'll be something cool to do during this down time for ROH, especially since (based on the current schedule), the first Pick 'Ems of 2018 won't be until February.

F*CK YES!

I think some here discredit the TPT a bit too much though. The current World Champion is a product of the TPT and he didn't even win it. And if someone chimes in with, "but oh, he was Ashley Remington in CHIKARA", don't bother. Being someone in CHIKARA is like saying you were the star football player on the youth team when you were 6-years-old, but you hadn't done shit since so it someone validates you have talent.

Ian isn't strong enough to not have Colt beside him, which speaks volumes of Colt but not so much of Ian. I still feel like Ian has picked up a lot of Kevin Kelly's bad habits which of course came from Jim Ross, the difference being Ross knew how to verbalize his shock ("BAH GAWD AS MY WITNESS, HE IS BROKEN IN HALF"!) so that it excited you, while Ian and Kevin would use a shocked tone but their verbiage would be unconvincing ("OH MY!").

I like Ian as the straight faced play-by-play but I'd enjoy him more if he was a bit more rough around the edges.
