PILLS! PILLS! PILLS!

Wrestling Roster Draft: Luxe & Reduxe

Recommended Posts

With no real dream matches left, I've got about 20-30 potential matches with various people conjoured up, so my problem now is deciding which way to go.

 

That in mind, I'm going to go for a strong name at the top of the card. Better than that a strong, adaptable name that can go face or heel depending on who's left on the board by the time I get around to drafting him an opponent. He's about equal in both roles. Infact he's switched between the two so many times it's hard to remember them all. At various points in his career he's been hugely over in both allignments.

 

Tonight, I'll be drafting KKAAAAAAANNEEEE!!!!

I haven't chosen between masked or unmasked Kane yet, so this picture covers both bases nicely. See, the feud WAS worthwhile after all!

For my next pick of the draft, I choose

Abdullah The Butcher

Whilst I've got plenty of guys who can bring the workrate, I wanted someone who can just straight up brawl. Abby's my man.

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.

 

That was my plan last year. STEALER!

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!

ugh, nearly every pick thats been made this round has taken someone off my board. I hope there is someone left when it gets back to me.

 

I hope there isn't because you took Bam Bam just to spite me :P

Lots of good pics while I was out with PC sickness. Sorry for the lack of creative write-up for Sid. I was really hungover this morning.

Well, I know Franchise isn't going to be a happy man when he wakes up and reads the board.

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...

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)

On behalf of tominator89

 

Our 102nd selection will join his better half for the second straight draft in a row, reforming the Impact Players.

 

He's not just just the coolest... He's not just the best... He is...

For my next pick, I wanted someone who I could match up with Abby for some sort of crazy weapon filled brawl, but could also mix it up a bit. I could see this man having thoroughly entertaining matches with any of the men I have picked thus far.

 

This led me to pick this next man:

 

He hails from Bombay, Michigan.

He is the The Homicidal, Suicidal, Genocidal, Death–Defying Sabu.

He's pretty psyched about it, look he's pointing at his own name.
