We've all seen the previews and know what this is about. It should be good. Watch and discuss.

I echo those sentiments but for Hercules.

I’m going to make sure that I add another strong attribute to the 4HC stable and he’ll fit in well with his physicality and technical prowess. Tentatively, I pair him with Chris Candido but won’t discount the idea of forming a power duo with him and Awesome. Brent Albright I want a good mid-card junior act that can get over with the fans and I think he can have good stuff with a number of others on the card. Jimmy Yang

I even name searched. Fucking name search failing me. That's what I get trying to search when I'm not fully awake yet. Same role, different guy. Buff Bagwell BAGWELL!

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I had every intention to take him and use him in the Chris Benoit role with the Horsemen/Cornette stable.

Wow. I was just talking about getting him with the belief he should survive this next round. I had intended to pair him with Candido. At least Eugene wasn't taken.

It was between him and Koloff for me.

I wanted to get a really good heel that can be vicious if necessary and he’ll be a good counter to Jay Strongbow. Ivan Koloff I’m going to take another good junior that can put on a show with Blitzkrieg. I’ve noticed his counterparts have already begun to be taken, so I can’t allow him to slip here… Dragon Kid

I almost took Rotunda to place him with the Cornette/Horsemen Stable. Blitzkrieg probably would've lasted another round.

With the next pair of selections, I wanted to fulfill a couple objectives and we’re reaching the point in the draft where the obvious isn’t there anymore. I need to bolster the mid-card because it’s a bit small right now and since I’ve decided that a full blown junior/cruiser division isn’t happening, that still doesn’t mean I can or need to neglect that style because they can still be utilized effectively. The first selection will be along those lines,. I don’t believe he’s the top talent on the board right now but that’s mostly because he had a very short career but in that short career, he was quite innovative, mesmerizing and seemingly was approaching a new level in that style. It is quite possible that this is a drastic reach but I’ll accept it anyways. He’ll be quite popular in this promotion and I hope I can find good talent to match him against down the road here. With my next selection, I have taken Blitzkrieg And to follow that, I’ll go into a completely different direction for the next selection. A bona-fide baby face that’ll get over well potentially to the top heels or just in the mid-card. My next selection is Chief Jay Strongbow

That just isn't right. She goes with Candido!

Yes. I took him.

I will track you down and stab you repeatedly in your sleep. I'll admit that I was pretty confident you were looking to take him which is why I had to take him there because the options get really limited after Dreamer. Also, you claimed in the last draft you would've taken Dreamer in the first round, yet you were waiting until this round to do it when you've had many chances. I've lost count how many times we've had our hopes dashed by one another.

While I have a legendary talker in Ric Flair, the special aura of those 4H Groups was having a classy and detestable heel manager. Well, the best was still on the table and I want him. James E. Cornette I want a good brawler and that’s to match with Mike Awesome. Most of the absolute best in the industry have long gone but there are a couple pretty good ones hanging around and I’m going to take one here. Yes, I’ll be going against my intentions of not re-using anyone from the previous draft but I’ll have to abandon that. The other holes/spots in the roster can still be plugged in later, I’m not sure this one can. "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer

The game isn't even being played at Rupp Arena.

The one time I skip my messages in the morning...anyways, I didn't lose anyone major here. I need to add another tag team to the ranks and quite simply I believe these guys were great physical performers that crowd loved and given the landscape of my roster, I think they can do good things. I'll assume I can land the other half as they weren't stellar solo performers. Pitbull #2, Anthony Durante I’m going to add to my tag team roster to join forces with Jimmy Jacobs. He’s a great young talent with good charisma. Tyler Black

As far as I'm concerned that's the best name value guy to drop so far.

Forcing JBL to make an unnecessary face turn would be a worthless manuever this close to the show especially if the idea is that JBL will play up his texan heritage for a positive reaction. It's more suited to everything that JBL has been about to defeat a fan favorite like Mysterio in Texas and retire as champion.

A lot of great teams have been picked (or at least partially) but a great depth remains. I’ll select the first half of my coveted tag team and I’ll hope the other half of the equation stays alive although I can see the value someone would see in the other half. On his own, he’s clearly the superior talent and has shown signs that he could be a singles star on his own. That’s why I selected him first. Jay Briscoe With my second selection, I will address my need to add to top heel stable currently led by Flair alongside Mike Awesome. I want to take a guy that can be technical mid-card performer as well as a solid promo that won’t depend on Flair to guide him. I believe he fits the mold of a couple former members of the 4H and I’ll use him in that position. Chris Candido

My next pair of selections will address the beginning of the junior/purist division. Luckily, there is such an immense depth to the talent available. It was my intention to get as good as wrestlers I can possibly get that can easily play both sides. Each will have a complete difference in styles but I believe they can be the forerunners of the division because of their tremendous versatility. First will be a great heel that utilizes his tremendous promo ability to capture great heat and he goes beyond the typical measure of a good junior performer as he’s equally if not better suited as a brawler. With the final selection of this round, I have taken Jimmy Jacobs And to follow that up, I’ll take someone who is almost polar opposites as Jacobs. He’s a brilliant technician that can connect to the crowd in whatever manner he sees fit. It might seem odd that these two men will be first two selections of this division given that they are primarily known and appreciated for being great heels but ultimately, I supposed I’m just big fans of these two and didn’t want to miss out on them. This is my next selection, this is… Nigel McGuinness

Oh! That's a whammy.

Honestly I'd never heard of him before he stole a spot in the draft, and I haven't seen him since. Actually it got to the point where it was fun to see who he'd pick up because you knew it was going to be someone off the wall. He showed up during a recent Raw Chat and he was questioned about his draft choices but he never answered and promptly left.

Eaton's gone? Fuck. It was down to him and Awesome. So, it was only fitting that it'd come back around after "stealing" Awesome from 6F9. The good thing about Eaton is that he's had a few different partners, so if someone wanted to be a dick...you got back up options. As for re-drafting, Danielson is probably the only top guy from the previous draft I would've taken back. So it wasn't easy to let him slide but I know 47Chise can do good things with him.
