ESSR Draft

Current Season Score

From July 2019, several members of our team have competed in our own wrestling fantasy league. Similar to what we see in Fantasy Football, the ESSR Draft sees our team select our own fantasy teams.

The teams are selected via a draft lottery system, with no wrestler eligible for selection more than once.

Each team is made up of one tag team and five singles competitors. Wrestlers selected as a team can’t be picked as a singles wrestlers, and the make-up of the five singles wrestlers must see a 3-2 split either way of men and women.

Wrestlers score points based on appearances and wins on TV and PPV, with stars from RAW, SmackDown, NXT, NXT UK and AEW available for drafting.

Each team can choose one captain who will score double points. Captaincy can be changed once per season, with a change only coming into effect on the following weeks RAW.

The winner of each season is given a guaranteed ESSR Title shot on the next show they are on with the champion.
