Honestly, for me, Rock over Hart at #1 would have been a no-brainer.

The only justification I can think of is that Nikita had his "uncle" at the press conference.

I'd give up King Kong Bundy for Ernie Ladd in a second.

No matter what happens, Dustin Rhodes always seems to leave a company on great terms when he's run out of things to do, but then again, he's been pure midcard since 1997. I also seem to remember Vince McMahon acknowledging on Raw in 1994 that Randy Savage departed without burying him. But then the Billionaire Ted stuff came a year later. Lance Storm (2004? 2005?) just sort of gently faded into the night if I recall correctly. Even though she didn't jump to another company, Trish's exit from the WWE couldn't have gone better for her, especially considering the exit Lita got shortly after that.

ARGH!!!! You just ruined my new idea for Buddy Landell.

909, Shea Stadium is already gone... Anyways, with my next selection in the draft, I'm going to go ahead and skip the announcer fad, so to speak, and get a GREAT tag-team that is still on the board. While they might not be the most successful version of this team, they were still the ORIGINAL version of this team and will fit in quite well with my rosters. Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm proud to select... RANDY ROSE AND "LOVERBOY" DENNIS CONDREY THE ORIGINAL MIDNIGHT EXPRESS My plan is to work them in a feud with Steve Keirn and a partner to be named later. As a result, I've got a great plan for Buddy Landel lined up as well. Now, for another venue, I'm going a little further west since my promotion will most likely be a Mid-South territory with bases in Tennessee, Louisiana, and now Texas. Yes, I'm taking probably the most famous Texas wrestling venue left. It hosted numerous supercards for World Class and other promotions. It will be a great compliment to the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis... REUNION ARENA DALLAS, TEXAS

Bastard... If I was picking an announcer, he was going to be my top pick because I knew the usual suspects would already be gone.

You can if you want to. Announcers are not a necessity, though. Really, I should have just kept my foot where it was and said no. I guess that I was just pleased that he didn't choose another football player. So I guess it's better that I don't ask about Mr. T... Yeah... I've already done that.

Either that or I could see Creed in the background performing. You have no idea how much I hate that poster based simply on the fact it reminds me of Creed. With the font of Unforgiven, it looks like they were trying for some horror movie look.

With the next selection in the draft, I'm going to take a big brutish style heel to feud with Manny Fernandez. This individual made his name up north in the AWA, and his son went on to be one of the best heels of all time. I already have one of his former partners, Harley Race, on the roster so I might work a loose partnership with the two. Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm proud to select... LARRY "THE AX" HENNIG

Making this pick on the go... will give explanation later... I select Larry "The Ax" Henning Pic to come later...

Freaking awesome!

Just a very funny line from the 6/17/91 issue of the Observer posted today:

Honestly, I'm kind of shocked the Meadowlands lasted this long.

Well, since my original plan of stealing Jimmy Hart got screwed up by Virgil of all people, I'm going to select the next best manager on the board. It'll be my first female roster member, and I'm guessing some of you might already know who this is. She was the original "bad-girl" valet, and she could frequently mix it up with the men. She went on to be considered one of the true pioneers in terms of women in wrestling. As a result of taking her, I'm moving Percy Pringle to manage the Samoans, Kabuki, and Snuka, and I'm going to have her manage Race, Bundy, and the Andersons. Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm proud to select "SENSATIONAL" SHERRI MARTEL Now for my 2nd venue, I'm taking a very historic location that fits my roster like a glove. Some major cards and angles have happened at this venue, and a large chunk of my talent made their names at this building and in this city. I'm going to use the card at this place to build the supercard at the Superdome. This place was not only a historic wrestling venue, but it could be considered "home base" for none other than Elvis himself. Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, I am talking about... THE MID-SOUTH COLISEUM MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE Let me just say again how ticked I am I couldn't land Jimmy Hart. If there was ever a manager built for my roster, it was him.

Me and my big damn mouth!

Drury already got Virgil.

I seriously thought you'd be the one to take the other venue I have in mind... And... Great pick on The Grand Wizard. He was on my short-list for another manager.

When the overall draft is over, I think it'd be interesting for everyone to go around, look at the other rosters, and list, if you had the chance, who you would take off all of the other rosters. Basically, you look for that one person on each roster that would fit in best with the talent you already have (As a result, it wouldn't be everyone listing all the main event or top level guys).

I always thought it was the other way around - the fans were doing it in a mocking gesture towards Flair as well.

And easily the best "pure" heel in that he made no attempt to be cool or get people to like him.

Yes she was, and I imagine we'll be getting to see it that in the next couple of months when we reach that episode. But I agree with the previous post, after a WHITE-HOT summer in terms of angles and such, the WWE did hit somewhat of a snag after Summerslam. The Hart Foundation lost a lot of steam with Bret having to deal with The Patriot, even though he was World Champion, and Shawn got the major program with The Undertaker, even though he just lost the World Title to Bret.

Well, he did somewhat understand the concept of the evil clown during Doink's initial run. I still hate the fact they wasted such a great premise by turning him face.

The outdoor arena has been used for boxing events as well. And yeah... I wouldn't be opposed to selecting another venue within the region (Give or take a certain distance) you have selected your primary venue. A lot of very important arenas/venues are going to get left out.

Bischoff has already been taken in the wrestler's round.
