On the behalf of The Franchise A great brawler, good comedy act and the final piece of the SCS puzzle. The next pick of the draft, SOMEONE'S GONNA DIE! Ace Steele

Another addition to the junior/pure division will now feature someone who can be showcase performer thanks to his dazzling acrobatic skills and engaging personality to the crowd. This would stand out given how mat-based the rest of the division has become. He could’ve been one of the more revered juniors of his time (which would be now, I suppose) but a major injury has all but curtailed that opportunity but in this hypothetical world, we’re selecting the quality and ability of these men/women. With the next selection of the draft, I have chosen The Amazing Red

Having lost my grasp on someone that was much desired for my mixed junior/pure division, I don’t want to make another mistake and lose out on this guy. In the grand scheme of things, he hasn’t been around quite as long as many other worthy options but he has nothing but tremendous potential and has already shown quite an aptitude inside the ring as well as his presence. He can make an excellent addition as the enforcer type in any potential stable or the lone wolf assassin. With the next selection of this draft, I present to you "The Shooter" Brent Albright

That's not what he's talking about.

This was a very fun show. The heat for AP (really, Larry Sweeney) and Nigel in the main event was intense. The finish was expected but executed well. However, the true highlight was the Strong-Hero match which was a brutally stiff match. Here are the full results 1). Shane Hagadorn and Tank Toland d. Silas Young and Mitch Franklin 2). Tyler Black defeats Delirious 3). Claudio d. Jay Briscoe and Brent Albright 4). Erick Stevens d. Bryan Danielson 5). Necro Butcher d. Aries (Aries refused to fight Necro and tried to convince him to leave the group. Aries took some unblocked punches and a chair shot) 6). Kevin Steen and El Generico d. Jimmy Jacobs and Joey Matthews 7). Chris Hero d. Roderick Strong 8). Nigel McGuinness d. Adam Pearce. (No titles were exchanged due to the interference from Bobby Dempsey) Show closes with a multi-man and multi-feud brawl between Nigel and S&S, Albright and Claudio, AOTF, Briscoes and Steenerico.

Why don't they just call him Ted Dibiase II. It's rich and prententious and nobody else is using the II tag to their name today. It's different from Mysterio and Chavo since those versions weren't a part of WWF history and they mostly made their names elsewhere, which allows for the younger versions to lop the "Jr" from their names without much confusion. Ted Dibiase Sr. was a part of WWF history, a history that is still connected to this modern era of wrestling.

If you saw the guy from a distance, you could believe it was Austin.

Ross and WWE have always had a high school relationship. The constant breakups and eventual reunions. I don't think Ross will ever truly leave the company until he dies or Vince finally finds a legitimate replacement for him.

You already took Scott Norton, another big physical stiff ass-kicker. It wasn't that great of a departure from your roster. Ideally, Sasaki-Williams would have been the way I'd gone with regards to your present roster. Oddly, I figured his other persona would suit your group better.

I can't believe that Williams would be considered a reach.

For the same reason Paris Hilton became famous. She does have a TV show on E! and I believe some other projects. She's also the girlfriend of NFL player Reggie Bush. I can't explain how or why this particular girl did this but she did. Appearing on talk shows isn't something reserved for the best of the best.

That's why she is famous.

He knew. I believe he was told prior to the announcement.

Doug was on my short list of people to add to my Pure Division. I hope Strangler Lewis gets paired with Abdullah the Butcher for the sheer absurdity of it.

Khali is a better pick then El Gigante/Gonzales. Khali has some (though limited) mobility and will take a few big bumps when it is called for and most importantly, he has a better grasp of acting and playing to the crowd. Looking at Sauce's roster, he could pair Khali as Regal's personal bodyguard and do what would be really good comedy between the two.

I wanted BJS (that was the big man I mentioned before taking FBI) and Koloff was going to be my nemesis for Dreamer. My plans are changed now.

Charles "The Hammer" Evans was supposed to be getting called up a couple months ago, seemingly after his role at WM. If Virgil 2.0 occurs, should they get a Sherri for Dibiase Jr?

There's always having Carlito be fodder for Triple H. I didn't say he'd actually win a title, he should at least make reference to it.

I hope Carlito challenges for a title on his return to Smackdown. That's always been one of his little signatures everytime he debuts/returns to a brand.

Hunter doesn't need to add another notch to his tally this quickly. Edge plays his best at seeking any opportunity to capitalize on the weakness of others. Which means Edge is better at the chase then he is as the target. Cena has always been better at the chase as well like most faces in Cena's position. The heel turned Batista doesn't even need to rush into a feud with Cena. That's a huge match that really should be saved for Wrestlemania and not SummerSlam. Batista still has mileage left in the Jericho/HBK issue which could seriously expand into an even more epic angle with his logical involvement. Cena has a batch of new routes to take.

Edge being without a title doesn't end the relationship with Vicki and La Familia. The title adds to the story, though...since the whole reason Edge loves Vickie is she finds ways to make him World Champ. Triple H has a title and so does TBS (in theory). Edge would just use Vickie to get every opportunity for either world title. Hell, they already set the seeds for Hunter and Edge.

Edge being without a title doesn't end the relationship with Vicki and La Familia.

His tattoos weren't specific to his gimmick. It's mostly traditional samoan designs. Adding a more human element to Umaga is a little strange and really unneccesary unless they feel he is that talented at promos.

Dino Bravo was a very talented dancer in the 70's. Most people never gave him the credit for that.
