PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 So, if I take, say, the Steiner Brothers, I can't take Scott Steiner as a singles competitor. And the same, but in reverse. Correct? Also, I pinned the thread for the duration. That is correct. Also, thank you for pinning the thread. That should help it move along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 Damn, Goblin doesn't take Hogan! Shame really, I was hoping 15 other people would just let Hart slip their minds. Go Drury! edit: Don't forget to PM him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garth 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 There was 3 guys I was torn between on this, but I decided to go with this man... My first choice is the most electrifying man in sports entertainment, The Rock. A tremendously versatile talent that always had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand. Could have an entertaining match with just about anyone. Why wouldn't you want this man on your roster? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cran Da Maniac 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 I'm so glad I have 2 other ideas on who to pick first (and I got a primo draft slot at #5), or I'd be really pissed at Garth right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garth 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 I spent so long trying to decide who to have. I thought I knew straight away who I wanted but there more I thought about it the less sure I became. There's a couple of guys on the top rung that it's really difficult to choose between. I'll be legitimately suprised if the two others I have in mind aren't the next to go.

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 As the #4 pick in the TSM All Time Wrestling Roster draft, I select... "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair WHOO! Quite simply "The Man". Is excellent as both a face and a heel. He can adapt to almost any style and can carry almost any wrestler to a decent match. Sure, he's a bit formulaic but 98.4% of the time that formula worked well. Can have a good match with almost any type of worker be they a wild brawler (Terry Funk), a technician (Bret Hart), or a power wrestler(Hulk Hogan, Lex Luger). Is excellent as both a babyface and a heel. Even though there are others who may be more recognizable, Ric Flair is my #1 choice to build a promotion around. WHOOO!

Cran Da Maniac 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 With the 5th pick in the TSM All Time Wrestling Draft, Crandamaniac selects STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN! # Texas Wrestling Federation * TWF Tag Team Championship (1 time) - with Rod Price # World Championship Wrestling * WCW United States Heavyweight Championship (2 times) * WCW World Tag Team Championship (1 time) - with Brian Pillman * WCW World Television Championship (2 times) # World Wrestling Federation * Million Dollar Championship (1 time) * WWF Championship (6 times) * WWF Intercontinental Championship (2 times)[42][43] * WWF Tag Team Championship (4 times) - with Shawn Michaels (1), Dude Love (1), The Undertaker (1), and Triple H (1)[44] * WWF King of the Ring (1996) * WWF Royal Rumble (1997) * WWF Royal Rumble (1998) * WWF Royal Rumble (2001) I labored a bit thinking of who to pick at this juncture. Sure there are more talented wrestlers that could be picked before Austin, but honestly none that I could think of, save a select 3 or 4 that are just as popular or more. Austin may not have been the most technical of wrestlers, but could go that route if need be, as well as having some wildly entertaining brawls. He seemed to be able to work with anybody and suite a match to their style. His promo work was always top notch, able to portray a wild amount of emotion. His wrestling attributes, along with this mainstream media appeal, make him and ideal first round pick and one of the best to build a company around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garth 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 Austin and Flair were the other two that I had thought about picking. Both of them definitely offer a lot as a centre piece to a promotion. I think now Hogan, Flair, Rock and Austin are gone, being I feel the obvious early picks, I'm intrigued to see where the draft goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cran Da Maniac 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 I can think of maybe 10 other wrestlers that would be first round picks, especially with the latter picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garth 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 Oh clearly there are plenty of other good first picks, I just saw those four as being the most obvious to go early on. It'll be interesting to see where other posters preference lay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 I'm curious to see if everyone is using the first round selection as a chance to grab the biggest star on the table or will anyone use it as the first piece of a specific pattern of workers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cran Da Maniac 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 I would think a good strategy is to use your first few picks to go after the upper main to main event level stars, as they are the ones that will be snatched first. Then just moving down the card. The inclusion of picking tag teams as a single unit kind of throws a kink into it tho, as you may forgo a much bigger name star for a better tag team.

Guest Report post Posted May 23, 2008 I'm curious to see if everyone is using the first round selection as a chance to grab the biggest star on the table or will anyone use it as the first piece of a specific pattern of workers. I planned on using it as a piece to do that, but it's a little too soon to pick the guy I really wanted. Instead, I'm going to select... He'll be a heel in my version. Maybe with my next pick, the guy I want will be around, and I can pick him and others to use as perfect compliments to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diamonddust 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 Since 909 took the guy I was about to select, I'm going to go with none other than "The 8th Wonder of the World" Andre The Giant I'm making this pick with a strict business approach. One of the greatest draws of all time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't see him going so high but now that I think about it I totally can. And Diamonddust, I was about to pick Andre, but outside of name alone, I didn't think there was much there (albeit I've only seen a little of Andre's work) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
