Just to make everything look ok, here's my post from the other thread:
Ok, since I got first pick, I'm gonna pick....
Triple H
I picked Triple H for a few reasons: one, he is my favorite wrestler and has been for years. Two, if I was to build a promotion of my own, I'd want to have him to help build stars (no burying jokes please) and he's pretty solid in the ring. Thirdly, I picked him tactically, if I have him, no one else can have him!
I did think about making a very different, more shocking/questinoablr first choice, but I'm 99.9% sure (s)he'll still be available for my second pick, so I went for Hunter!
Shocked? I doubt it, lol! Furious-Red, its your go!0 -
My pick goes to the jabroni beating, pie eating, trailblazing eyebrow raising peoples champ the ROCK.
First pick goes to the Rock because he was one of the big two in the Attitude era and one of the most charismatic and popular superstars of all time.
He's one of the greatest on the mic, which more than made up for his less than spectacular in ring skills.
No one else can manipulate a crowd like the Rock, he's good as a face and gets real heel heat. See the concerts he did in late 2002/20030 -

WOOOOOO….
My first pick is undoubtedly one of the greatest wrestlers ever to grace the ring, with a career in professional wrestling spanning 36 years (Debuting in AWA in 1972).
I picked “Nature Boy” Ric Flair as he is a talented wrestler who has had a long and successful career, being one of the most decorated wrestlers of all time. Not only can he prove himself in the ring, but also on the microphone. His charisma was shown right up until his retirement at Wrestlemania 24.
“To be the man, you’ve gotta beat the man.”
“A kiss stealing, wheeling dealing, jet flying, limousine riding, son of a gun.”
“This ain’t no garden party, brother, this is wrestling, where only the strongest survive.”
“Whether you like it or not, learn to love it, because it’s the best thing going. Wooooo!”0 -
My turn. I am really thorn between going for the obvious and going for the one that I think is the best deal. Anyway here it is:
The British Bulldogs- The Dynamite Kid and the British Bulldog
By making them my first pick, I've got a guy in Bulldog who at his peak was very good in the ring and and a guy in the Dymaite Kid who as a singles wrestler can arguably be called the best ever.
Combine the 2 and you again arguably had the best tag team of all time. Here's a quick rundown on both of them:
Dynamite Kid
Someone hinted in another thread that I'd pick Bret Hart. Then it occurred to me why don't I pick the guy who Bret in his book proclaimed was the best ever and get another really good guy on top of that?!
As bad as he seems to have been out of the ring, he was equally as good in the ring a decade or maybe even 2 decades before his time.
For those that have never seen Dyamite Kid, treat yourself to this video that features matches from 20- to 25 years ago.
Here's some of the awards he's won for his work too:* Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards
* Match of the Year (1982) vs. Satoru Sayama
* Most Underrated (1983)
* 5 Star Match award: vs. Satoru Sayama on April 23rd, 1983
* Best Flying Wrestler (1984)
* Best Technical Wrestler (1984) - tied with Masa Saito
* Tag Team of The Year (1985) - with Davey Boy Smith
* Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame (Class of 1996)
British Bulldog
He was not as good as the Dynamite Kid. That's obvious. But when he was on his game, the guy could be involved in some great matches. Just some that come to mind are his matches with Michaels, Owen Hart, Bret Hart and Mr. Perfect.
Here's a 5 minute clip from his match with Shawn Michaels at Saturday Nights Main event in the early '90s:
Basically to sum up, neither have had happy endings to say the least but in an imaginary draft, I couldn't think of a better pick in terms of pure ability in the ring as these 2 in their prime.0 -

My first pick..........
ANDRE THE GIANT
Yups. A legitimate draw across the world, in addition to being a genuinely impressive performer in his prime, and a star of one of the greatest movies ever made.....
Andre travelled the globe, as one of the most positive examples in history of a pro-wrestler as a spectacle, and made bucketloads of cash. additionally, in his prime, he was capable of handling himself in the ring, and performing good quality big man matches, that appealed to a wide array of fans.
0 -
Kurt Angle.
A Badass Heel
A Face for the fans to truly to get behind.
Intense in-ring promos.
Hilarious backstage skits.
Supreme mat-wrestling.
Moonsaults off the top of a steel cage.
Whatever a promotion needs, this man could provide it all.
Its true. Its damn true!
It really doesn't need much of an explanation. Anyone who has seen Kurt Angle in the ring can tell he is one of the greatest all round performers to ever step foot in the ring. Even in the fickle world of internet wrestling fans its hard to find any disputes to the mans ability.0 -
The Undertaker
From the silent, stalking dead man who built caskets in which he planned to bury his 'victims', to motorbike riding American Bad Ass who loved nothing more to kick ass, The Undertaker has lasted long over a decade and had audiences worldwide in the palm of his hand for the entire duration.
Even after introducing his former wife to the TV audiences and having comedic sketches with his 'brother' Kane, the Undertaker can still revert back to a lonely, deceased man with no third dimension to his character and still have the crowd chant his name.
The Original Deadman displayed his devotion to his gimmick.
The Phenom showed us his vindictive, evil, punishing side.
The American Bad Ass learned us of his great and realistic talking ability (Mic-work)
The Deadman shows us that he can introduce a whole new style of wrestling (grappling, takedowns, submissions) at his age and perfect it.
Undefeated at WrestleMania, A Royal Romble winner, WWE and World Champion...
Dead or Alive... Its still his yard.

"The Best There Is, The Best There Was and The Best There Ever Will Be"
Every roster needs a top babyface and my first pick is going to be one of the most popular wrestlers in the history of the WWE, Bret 'The Hitman' Hart.
Bret Hart is undoubtedly one of the most technically sound wrestlers of all time who had the ability to work with 'big man' wrestlers (Diesel, Bam Bam Bigelow) as well as smaller guys (1,2,3 Kid). He was also a dedicated pro throughout his career and an inspiration to his locker room.
Notable achievements:
- 5 time WWE champion
- 2 time Intercontinental champion
- 2 time Tag team champion
- Hall of Fame inductee
With this pick I'm getting a guy popular around the world, who can offer superb matches in the ring, a guy who takes his craft seriously and someone I know I can count on.'It is better to walk alone in the right direction than follow the herd walking in the wrong direction.'

"The Modern Day Warrior" Kerry Von Erich
Kerry was far and away the best wrestler of the Von Erich family. He had buckets of charisma, a great look and the in-ring skills to hang with the best around. He was the second youngest NWA World Heavyweight champion at the time that he won the belt at the age of just 24
When he was 22 he had a great two out of three falls match with Ric Flair for the NWA title. Think of how many 22 year olds could be put in a situation like that today and do so well
The unfortunate thing when it comes to Kerry is that he could have gone on to even bigger things if it weren't for what happened outside the ring. He held the NWA title for less than a month because the NWA didn't trust him with his drug problems. He also had his foot amputated in 1986, yet was still able to wrestle some awesome matches, including an AWA/WCCW title unification match with Jerry Lawler
Kerry in his prime would be a superstar today
Notable Achievements:
WWF Intercontinental champion
NWA World Heavyweight champion
Numerous NWA and WCCW tag titles
WCCW World Heavyweight champion
Numerous NWA regional titles
Participant in the Wrestling Observer's feud of the year for 1983 and 1984
Participant in the Wrestling Observer's match of the year for 1984
Only tribute video I could find that didn't either consist of a load of photos of him as a kid or clips of him riding a horse half naked0 -

OOOOOOOOOOOH Yeah
Had the WWF and Vince in particular not been so desperate to cash every cent possible from Hulk Hogan, they surely would have built the company around the Macho Man Randy Savage. He had a gimmick so great that it is still used today, cut great psychotic promos (funky like a monkey etc.). He was great in the ring (had what is generally considered the best Wrestlemania match ever with Steamboat) and has a large profile outside the world of wrestling. He also was one of the first main eventers to have a high flying finisher, now they are everywhere. He also lends great flexibility to my roster as he was both a great heel and face during his peak wrestling years. As part of his 6 title reigns (2 in the WWE and 4 in the WCW) he held the WWE belt for a year while Hogan was around, an unparralled victory over Hogan's backstage politicking. His acting career is also bigger than most of his peers, with his appearance in Spiderman ( a bigger grossing movie than Hogan's Rocky) being the highlightwikipedia wrote:Honours: * Pro Wrestling Illustrated

Money money money money money. My first pick is the one and only
The Million Dollar Man - Ted Dibiase. Any company needs a believable top heel who the fans can totally get behind in hating. The guy was fantastic on the mic, and a bloody good in ring performer as well. Charisma to burn and a very inflential wrestler. Originally he would have been my second pick, but was afraid of losing him, so got straight in at number one.Championships And Accomplishments

My first pick: Mick Foley
Three time wwe champion, first ever hardcore champion, and 8 time tag team champion. One of the most respected wrestlers in history, even though hardly the most athletically gifted performer ever he earned the respect of pretty much everybody in the industry through his sheer dedication and humility. He always gave it 100% and everyone knew it. Great matches, great spots, great promos. A true legend, and my marquee name.
Foley isn't just good, Foley is GOD!

Jake Roberts
The greatest wrestler never to hold a world title, mainly because he never needed one. He was able to connect with the crowd through his charisma alone, and didn't need a golden prop to get people to care about him. Instead, he used a live and dangerous animal. Jake Roberts was in many ways a precurser to Stone Cold Steve Austin, in that he was a hell raiser yet still a fan favourite. He also invented the DDT, which is now one of the most well-recognised manouvers out there.
Charisma, excellent in-ring psychology, brilliant promo work from the Snake Pit, and a huge snake. What more could you want?0 -
Chris Jericho. Y2J was the first ever undisputed champion in the WWE. He is one of the best Heels in wrestling. His matches are excellent, his storytelling is above reproach. His promo's are entertaining and he can generate massive Heat.
Also with the ability to generate so much controversy just re-entering the wwe, he can easily become my Top Heel in my brand. He is also an excellent Tag team wrestler adding scope to my brand

My second round choice is none other than,Mr. Perfect
A former two time WWE Intercontinental Champion, He is arguably one of the greatest wrestlers to ever grace a WWE ring. Along with being a great wrestler, he was entertaining and humorous. Performing in many watchable, entertaining vignettes where he displays his perfection, he is a true star of WWE Wrestling. Even upon his return to the WWE squared circle in 2002, Curt Hennig was still an amazing in-ring athlete (and its just sad that we never did get Kurt Angle VS Curt Hennig).
In fact i think i could say, my pick really is...
...Absolutely Perfect.

First Round: The Great One
Round 2:
A badass heel with decent mic skills to be able to hold his own with the Rock. The Kind of heel can get serious heat from the crowd. So my Second Round pic is:
The Ultimate Opportunist Edge!
Since his heel turn he has been main eventing and winning titles while the crowd have been booing him. Personally I preferred him as the goofy face, in the days of awesomeness with Christian. But as a heel he's had fantastic success. Also he's been in some of the most memorable moments in WWE history from TLC Matches to MITB

First Round pick Macho Man Randy Savage
Second Round Pick..........
Bruno Sammartino
Before Stone Cold there was Hulk Hogan and before Hogan there was Bruno Sammartino. He is the first two time WWWF (the predecesser of the WWE) champ and held the title for a quite literally jaw dropping 11 years. Needless to say in the territory days (when the competition was far more fierce due to the amount of main eventers) he was the biggest draw. An absolute legend on the East Coast, New York in particular, the WWWF regularly packed out the Garden on his name alone and saved the company from financial ruin on numerous occasions. Considering he was a commentator after his career ended it has to be assumed he was very good on the mic as well. His feud with Larry Zbysko during the territory years is considered the best ever in the Northeast. He is also a member of the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame.0 -
"The boss is back."
I said in the last round when I picked The Hitman that a top babyface was important for a roster and likewise so is a top heel, so who better to pick for my second round choice than perhaps the most antagonising heel of all time Rowdy Roddy Piper!
Piper in his prime was the most despised wrestler in the WWE and headlined the main event of the first Wrestlemania, alongside Paul Orndorff, squaring off against Hulk Hogan and Mr T.
Part of the brilliance of Piper was the creative methods he used to get the fans to turn on him such as the time, mentioned in his WWE DVD, when he was in the NWA and playing to a Mexican-heavy crowd in L.A who he had insulted previously. He promised to make up for his previous behaviour and play the Mexican national anthem on his bagpipes, but instead played “La Cucaracha” causing the Mexican crowd to be outraged.
While the 'Hot Rod' had many entertaining in-ring bouts in his career, he was just as famous for his 'Piper's Pit' segment which had many historic moments and is generally viewed as the best interview segment in the WWE, rather than the likes of Carlito's Cabana which followed later.

A legendary heel with tons of charisma, who managed to branch out into the mainstream and who is still adored and remembered by fans to this day, when those bagpipes play you know it's going to be a memorable moment. The Rowdy One is a true wrestling great and a worthy addition to any roster.'It is better to walk alone in the right direction than follow the herd walking in the wrong direction.'

First Round: Andre The Giant
Second Round......
Bill Goldberg
Yep, that's right. Goldberg. I never would have dreamt that the guy i've slagged off numerous times in the past would be my second draft pick. However, given who has been picked, and who is left to consider, Goldberg is a choice based on his widespread public appeal, and the legit drawing power he carried throughout 1998-99, before WCW cocked it up.
If i'm going to have a Monster of Andre's status and size, i need at least one believable opponent, and whom better than Bill? He connects with fans, and he can be terribly exciting when booked correctly, as a tremendous babyface force.
Here's some achievements.
