King Kamala

Nice pickup, Garth. He's been on my list of potential draft picks for the last three or four rounds.

I'm a raspberry fan myself though boysenberry and blackberry are close runners up.

Thanks. Again, I was incredibly close to picking a tag team but at this stage in the draft, you can't really pass up two borderline main-event guys. King Cucaracha- I was in the same boat. I was either going to go for both guys or neither. If sivy or Tominator had picked one of them, I would have gone with the tag team. These guys are a good fit together. Their series against each other for the WCW World title in '00 was pretty good IIRC (haven't watched the matches since they happened)

I'm personally hoping for a Beatles reunion with Eric Clapton and Jeff Lynne taking the place of John Lennon and George Harrison.

I was originally going to go with a tag team for this picks but since they aren't going off the board at the rate I thought they would, I'm going to cross my fingers and hope they'll be some good ones left on the board next go around. My next two picks are guys who have main evented plenty and held World Championships but I personally think are best suited for the upper mid-card. They'll be feuding for my secondary title. With my fifth pick in the All-Time Wrestling roster draft, I figured since my first two babyface picks were larger than life types, I needed a guy that the fans could relate to. He was perhaps one of the hardest working wrestlers of the late '90s and his rise from mediocre manager and commentator to World Champion was one of the bright spots in the mostly dreary final years of WCW. He's quite the capable worker and I see him working well with Batista and Brock Lesnar as well as the guy I plan on picking next. He's quite the steal at this point and for me, that's not a bad thing...it's a good thing. He's a three time former WCW World Champ, a two time WCW U.S. Champion, a four time WCW World Tag Team Champion, a former WWF Tag Team Champion, and a former WWF European Champion, with my next pick, I'm proud to select... Diamond Dallas Page This next guy isn't one of TSM's favorite wrestlers and I admit he really shouldn't ever be the center of a promotion. But there are few better suited for the role of antagonistic, wise ass upper mid-card heel and can fill in occasionally in the main event. He was also another one of the few bright spots in the final year or so of WCW. He's a four time WCW World Champion, a six time NWA World Heavyweight Champion, a six time WWF Intercontinental Champion, a three time WCW U.S. Champion, a former WWF Tag Team Champion, a former WWF European Champion, and the former NWA North American Heavyweight Champion, with my sixth pick in the All Time Wrestling Roster draft, I select... "The Chosen One" Jeff Jarrett

I'd be down with that. I know this is a joke but a Hootie and The Blowfish reunion just doesn't make sense. They just broke up last year. And Darius Rucker's country music career has been surprisingly successful but in ten years when the '90s nostalgia boom is in full swing, I expect them to play summer sheds alongside other innocuous '90s top 40 acts. Damn, Hootie and The Blowfish mentioned in two threads in one week? That must be some sort of record for here. I would start a thread but I don't think anybody here (myself- the innocuous '90s top 40 rock guru included) has heard any of their albums besides Cracked Rear View. And what's with all of the bands with dead singers reuniting in the past five years? First, The Doors (though they actually soldiered on for two albums after Morrison died in the '70s), then Queen (though I must say they put on a heck of a fun live show), then Blind Melon, and now this. Really, how much money are these bands being offered to slightly tarnish their legacies?

Well the karmic justice for my stealing your idea was me not actually getting Kane or Abdullah. Really I shouldn't have expected Kane to last all the way back to me. I'm crossing my fingers that the two guys I'm planning to pick (who'd actually put on a muchbetter match and would be as much of a draw as those two) will make it back to me. Though perhaps I've said too much!

Damn, I was planning on doing Kane Vs Abdullah as a freak show semi-main event. Oh well, my backup and my backup backup options are very very good.

Good pick on Martel. He was certainly on my list for guys to pick next but fortunately not too high.

We did Shakespeare every year in English class. Freshman year was Romeo and Juliet, sophomore year was Macbeth, junior year was King Lear, and senior year was Hamlet.

I like it a lot as well but it doesn't matter as much to me since I have back to back picks anyways .

Damn, the last two picks have hurt... Since people got mad at me last time for spoiling, I swear that'll be my last one.

To be fair, there's more than one Road Warrior left on the board.

Ashley: Girl in my 4th and 5th grade class that was absolutely obsessed with unicorns. Now this was the stage where liking unicorns was absolutely uncool. All of the creative writing assigments she did seemed to revolve around them, drew a bunch of pictures of them. She was also an obsessive clean freak. When a paper would fall out of her desk, she'd burst into tears. No exaggeration. She moved away before middle school. Last I heard of her, she was the mark in a somewhat elaborate, mildly amusing practical joke where she IMed one of our old classmates in 8th grade and they told her that me and a few other male classmates had formed a boy band called The Electric Sharks that was getting interest from Lou Pearlman.

Damn, LOD were my top choice for a tag team. Back to the drawing board for that one.

Yeah, I remember watching an HBO documentary on cannibals and one guy said human meat tasted like the finest pork loin you'd ever tasted. I couldn't eat pork loin...well until whenever the next time my Mom made pork loin was. Yeah, I'm with Czech on this one. I like bacon quite a bit but why the sudden fawning over it? Seems kind of random. I've always been more of a breakfast sausage fan anyways.

Is Kinetic going to come up with a video to commemorate Marvin's departure?

Wow, I have no idea. That's certainly not the way I wrote it...I'm tired but not that tired.

Former honors English student here. I would've done AP but I had a personal vendetta against the teacher. Kind of regret not taking it now but it didn't work out with my schedule. Plus having to actually do work during the second semester of my senior year. Off the top of my head, besides the ones that are a staple of every high school curriculum (Scarlett Letter, Catcher In The Rye), I only remember the ones we had to read during the summer before. Freshman Year: We had to pick three books off of a list of a dozen or so books and then discuss them over the course of the first week or so in small groups. I picked It's Not About The Bike (Lance Armstrong's autobiography- seriously don't know what qualified this to be on the reading list of an honors English class), Haroun and The Sea of Stories by Salaman Rushdie, and Smack (a book about teenage anarchist heroin addicts in England. Pretty captivating stuff for a fourteen he movie saying we wouldn't like it because it was in black and white and was boring. Man, I hated that guy, though I still get a chuckle whenever I recall the moment wyear old). Sophomore: Krik Krak by Edwige Dundicat. Book about the plight of Haitian women. Good lord, everybody hated this one and practically demanded it be taken off the list of summer reading. This book was just begging to be called Krik Krap. It's weird, it seems like they changed the book the sophomores had to read every year because they all hated it so much. You'd think they just would've stuck with a classic staple but no, they kept trying something new and everybody kept on hating. Junior Year: The Grapes of Wrath. Probably my favorite book out of all my summer reading assignments. I was pretty alone in my belief here. Everybody else thought it was boring and long. Philistines! My teacher wasn't much better...he wouldn't show us the movie version cause it was "black and white and boring" (as if there was a correlation). Though I still get quite the chuckle when I remember him describing the novel he was writing as The Godfather with aliens thrown in. Senior Year: The Kite Runner---meh.

The elation I had when I found out that Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer were doing an unplugged tour together playing Spinal Tap and The Folksmen songs was quickly dashed when I found out that the ticket prices for their Boston show was $60. Yeah, wasn't sure where to put a post about a joke band(s) made up of comedians touring but I figured it'd work better here than in the Music Folder.

I very nearly went with him to use against Luger (who I would have used as a face) but I didn't want to repeat picks from the last draft. Great pick up there, Kahran.

Same, I'm happy that I've got four legitimate main event guys with my top four picks. I think the most interesting rounds are the middle ones honestly. That's when you can really tell where the rosters are going (they're going anywhere).

I would've picked Kobashi if Samoa Joe had fallen down to me and done that as my semi-main event. I have a feeling it might have been better workrate wise than Lex Luger Vs Batista! Oh and Kobashi was the last guy who was picked in the first round last go 'round that was unpicked.
