PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2008 Posting on behalf of Hawk34: I’m quite aware that my roster is heavy on the heels and this next selection won’t change that perception but this fantastic opportunity cannot slip any further or I will regret it. He is quite different from the other heels on the roster to a certain extent but his lack of flamboyance is soundly replaced with his overbearing arrogance. Ripe with confidence, he was a constant genius in his battles with some of the biggest faces in the history of the business. I think I figured out what I’ll do with my first overall selection, he seems destined to combat with my 11th overall selection… With the next pick of this draft, I present to you "The Living Legend", Larry Zbyszko! (my note: I still prefer him as "The Cruncher") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steviekick 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2008 With my pick, I'm going to pick someone who's a draw over in Mexico and can work well both as a heel or a face. He's a decent worker, fits in with my other guys, but his style is different enough for him to stand out. He'll be predominately heeling it up against Muta, Delirious and the bWo.... I bring you Vampiro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diamonddust 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2008 Rats... Larry Z was someone I had on the radar and could have easily worked with a number of people on my roster. The same goes with Tajiri... he doesn't fit with my roster, but he was such a personal favorite of mine... I was going to use him as my "Mysterious Japanese mist blowing heel", much like Muta was in 1989. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2008 I picked Tajiri as one of.. four junior/cruisers. Larry Z was someone who was very versatile though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2008 With the first of my two picks, I'm gonna go with a guy who was pretty underrated and can work with a bunch of wrestlers..I'll go with: The Big Boss Man. Next pick will be the guy I should have picked instead of Shane. He's a headcase, and a jackass, but he's very talented, and I'll probably pair him up with RVD. My next pick will be.. Teddy Hart.

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2008 8 hours gone by Masato Yoshino and Naruki Doi - Speed Muscle Before this week I had only seen them in the acclaimed RoH 6 man match from awhile back. Then I watched Impact and spent most of today watching youtube. This is everything that I love about wrestling (and the reason I don't go much for the oldtimers). In my company you'd either better be able to hit hard or move fast...and no one moves faster than Yoshino Watching the 7 minutes of glory that was the Guns vs. Speed Muscle on Impact made me wish I could see them go for a longer stretch of time...and since I already had the Guns...

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2008 Before I selected Gibson, I was fully aware of your newfound love for Doi/Yoshino and accepted that I was going to lose out on Gen Next-Speed Muscle. No worries, plently of tag teams left to take. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2008 You know...I regretted making that post in the TNA folder as soon as I remembered I had a pick coming up. But...I also knew there were still a bunch of tag teams on my list that I would have taken before them if Yoshino and Doi hadn't just proven to be a PERFECT fit for me on national TV two days ago... I'm really glad that match happened for a whole bunch of reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steviekick 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2008 With my pick-- Kamala the Ugandan Giant Stevie Richards and Vampiro will be feuding for control off the Ugandan Monster in an angle that is designed to be as goofy as possible and over the top. Such mystical props will involve a mind control necklace. And his mask will give him special powers; mostly him speaking like an educated Englishman and singing R&B/soul music.

naiwf 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2008 It's been 8 hours since bps went, so I think I'm up now. If not, someone can just delete this pick. I've always admired his work and I think he's got the best mask out of all of the luchadores I've seen. With this pick, I'm going to select Psicosis to put up against 2 Gold Scorpio. I've got another pick or two in mind that can work well with either of these guys as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diamonddust 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2008 I was kind of hoping people would sleep on Kamala... he's someone that could have worked with Andre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2008 Obviously, I was hoping for the same. Kamala is a damn underrated monster heel and I would have like to pair him up against Kerry Von Erich. Alas, it was not meant to be. Still a couple of really good monster heels left on the board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cran Da Maniac 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2008 Yeah, same here. Well just left a long list of picks with mellow in case I miss my turn that he can post for me. But still the 12 hour window allowed me to not worry too much about missing my turn especially at night when I'm sleeping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garth 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2008 For my make up pick I choose: The only grand slam winner in NOAH history Naomichi Marufuji If I'd been able to be around in time to make my original pick I would have instead gone for Tajiri, but Franchise beat me to the punch there unfortunatly. Marufuji is still another great junior to pick up. I'm not sure yet whether I will team him with KENTA or have them face each other. We shall see how the rest of the draft pans out.

Garth 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2008 I realised that which was why I didn't take them as a team to begin with. Also, sorry for my absence it's been a hectic couple of days with finishing university/summer ball/21st birthday party all in rather quick order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2008 For my next pick, I'm going with a tag team. One member can play the bully role very well, but is also a very good worker and has had some memorable matches and fights. The other half of my tag team can play the prick heel role to perfection. He's a great worker, but can also get over his character while having heated matches. Like his tag team partner, he has experience in memorable matches and memorable fights. They're not a team I would expect anyone to pick, but I am a little surprised they lasted things long as singles picks. My next pick is the team of the former IWGP tag team champions... Yoshihiro Takayama and Minoru Suzuki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Broward83 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2008 So, with my next pick.. I'm taking a guy that I loved in that enforcer type role as well as the bit of talent he had in the ring. Not a huge star but he can always stick up for Shane. "Primetime" Brian Lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2008 For my next selection, I am going to go with a charismatic heel. I had been entertaining the idea of swooping this guy up, but yesterday, after watching the face off shoot he did with Raven, I am definitely pumped to get this one. Ladies and gentlemen, the 204th draft selection. The Gamesmaster himself, Kevin Sullivan! And, yes, I am going to go with the psychotic, Florida-era Sullivan.
