As I am first in the 4th round and as I may not be online again until after lunch tomorrow, I will do my pick now. I had 3 in mind, and was fussing for the last few minutes over which I would choose. then a thought popped into my head - no one has picked Harley Race yet. A man who has fought all the great, a multiple champion, a legitimate tough guy, an ambassador for the sport and the REAL KING OF WRESTLING.
So, my 4th draftee is Harley Race, if that was not obvious already

Ok, so I promised in the discussion thread that my next pick would be money!
Well baby, just like Fed-Ex, I deliver! Please give a warm Boards welcome to my next draft pick...
...$hane McMahon!
He is one hell of a business man (and with a name like McMahon, how can't he be?) and when the time comes, he can kick some serious ass. Shane has been in some of the more memorable WWE angles (WCW/ECW inVasion, Corporation and his father's crusade against DX '06) he had a great feud with Kane and is hopefully the successor to the WWE throne. He is currently the Executive President of WWE Global Media (overseeing international TV distribution, live event bookings, digital media, consumer products, and publishing). The boy wonder has held the WWF Hardcore championship and WWF European championship and holds the distinction of being PWIs Rookie of the Year (1999), but refused to accept the award saying "These are for the boys, not me." Humble, fearless and a McMahon, who better to add to my roster?
Here is tribute to Shane:

My next pick may surprise some but I feel I should pick them now while I have the chance.
My next pick is an excellent wrestler who has put their body on the line time and time again with an incredible display of high flying ability.
My pick is:Lita
IMO one of the best womens wrestlers of all time. Former Womens Champion, member of Team Xtreme and love interest of at least two top WWE stars!
Along with Trish Stratus she revitalised the WWE Womens Division with her impressive luchador style of wrestling. She has proven time and again that she's just as tough as any man!

Trish Stratus ! Thats Right the women named Diva of the Decade will make a welcomed addition to my brand. Feuds with Jericho and The Dudley Boyz have been very successful in the past. She is an excellent manager . Trish cuts Solid Promo's, Heel or Face she can switch between with ease . Plus she is phenomenal in the ring if not the best ever in the WWE past present or future !

Ric Flair, The Fabulous Freebirds, Dusty Rhodes and introducing…..
My forth pick, I went for another tag team, Demolition. Having won the WWF tag team titles in the late ‘80’s and early ‘90’s and feuding with some of the greatest tag teams, I believe they are a great addition to my roster.

The loose cannon, BRIAN PILLMAN!
One of the most memorable wrestlers in recent history (unfortunately for the wrong reasons) Pillman was also one of the greatest charecters in recent wrestling memory. The first ever WCW light Heavyweight Champion, and a competitor in the first ever edition of WCW Nitro (where he beat Thunder Liger), and just a crazy sonuvabitch in general, if it weren't for his unfortunate demise he would have been a superstar without a doubt in my mind.
Couldn't find a youtube that wasn't a death tribute, and decided not to post one cos it's not the right place for that kind of thing here.

I have big marquee names, I have all-American faces and an "evil" foreign heel. Already I have a very physical group of main eventers and now need something a little bit different.

Bubs101 is away for a few days so he has requested that I make his pick in his absence. His top preference and thus his fourth round pick is...
Sycho Sid
Sycho Sid aka Sid Vicious, a two-time WWE champion and two-time WCW champion who was famous for his powerful, dominant in-ring style.

"The tattoos on my chest aren't decorations, they're declarations."
The man of the moment and frankly I'm amazed he's still around (I had to double-check). Yes folks my fourth round pick is going to be the 'straight-edged superstar' himself and current World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk!
CM Punk has risen through the ranks of the WWE following his tremendous ovation at the Hammerstein Ballroom for his ECW debut in 2006. He's gone on to become the ECW Champion, 'Mr Money in the Bank' and recently become the World Champion. What I like about Punk is that he has that ability to connect with the audience. He has tons of charisma and people of all ages seem to like the guy whether they're men, women or children.
I feel his in-ring ability has been improving bit by bit although I still feel he needs one stand-out match to really put himself on the map. Considering I've Bret Hart on my roster, he might be just the guy I need! I also like the idea of having Roddy Piper and CM Punk on the same show. Straight-Edge meets...well, the guy who's done it all.
Notable achievements:
- Current World Heavyweight Champion
- ECW Champion
- Money in the Bank winner
- ROH Champion
I think CM Punk would be a cool addition to any roster. There's a lot that can be done with him and the WWE have really only begun to scratch the surface with the dude. I expect him to be a mainstay of that company for years to come so I feel I need him in my company too. :cool:
Even through the darkest days, this fire burns always!'It is better to walk alone in the right direction than follow the herd walking in the wrong direction.'

Barry Windham & Mike Rotunda/IRS
I won't lie, it's mainly Barry Windham who I want here. But Rotunda is a welcome addition to my roster too. As The US Express they held the WWF Tag Team titles twice
Windham in his prime was one of the very best in the world. But he didn't seem to be able to stay in his prime for a good length of time. Numerous promotion switches didn't seem to help him to keep his momentum and he was often put back in the midcard instead of the main event where he definitely belonged on his day
Rotunda was never truly a main-eventer, but he was a solid midcard guy who could always be relied on. He was usually seen as a tag team wrestler. Rotunda was a guy who knew the basics so well and because of that he could go out and have a good match with any opponent
Windham and Rotunda are both now agents for WWE, along with guys like Arn Anderson, Finlay, Malenko, Steamboat and Dusty Rhodes. That goes to show you the respect in which their ability is still held
Some notable accomplishments:
Together:
Two time WWF Tag Team champions
Three time NWA Florida US Tag Team champions
Windham:
Match of the year in 1986 (vs Flair) as voted by Wrestling Observer readers, and also 1980 Rookie of the year
NWA World Heavyweight Champion
NWA US champion
WCW TV champion
WCW Tag Team champion (three times with three different partners)
Six time NWA Florida Heavyweight champion
Rotunda:
Three time WWF Tag Team champion with Ted DiBiase
NWA TV champion
Three time NWA Florida Heavyweight champion
All Japan World's Strongest Tag Team League winner with Steve Williams
I was going to post this video for Arn Anderson, but Windham was in it too. Now I can post it with both of them on my roster! Great promo video, I love it:
And here's what Rotunda was up to in the cartoon world of the WWF around the same time:

With a Roster where every member so far is a multi time world champion in one form or another, its best to keep things like that for a now. But who?
So far theres the people champ the great one, the rated r superstar and captain charisma. But to match them I need someone who's not just the execution of excellence, some who is more than just that damn good.
I need someone PHENOMENAL
Here's a vid of him vs Hurricane on wwf metal
With AJ I get a high flyer for the upper midcard/main event scene who puts on exciting matches and is also decent on the mic0 -
Bob Backlund
So, I couldn't help but notice the gigantic wrestling-shaped hole in my roster. In order to plug this hole, I've drafted in the master of the chickenwing crossface, Mr. Bob Backlund. Backlund was an extremely popular figure in his day, and was the face of the WWF for 5 long years. He came from an era when wrestlers were wrestlers, and competed in many memorable bouts, including a cage match with Snuka that became an instant classic. Showbiz he ain't, but great he certainly was.0 -

Ric Flair, The Fabulous Freebirds, Dusty Rhodes, Demolition and introducing……“Superstar” Billy Graham
"I am the man of the hour, the one with the power, too sweet to be sour..."
A true “Superstar” to add to my roster. The success created by his originality, charisma, and ability to "work" a crowd, the persona, image, and mannerisms of "Superstar" Billy Graham have been "borrowed" by many wrestlers, in many eras, such "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner and Hulk Hogan.

b.ie curious also gave the reasons behind his pick...The original 'people's champ' turned crazed stalker turned self help guru, its not a bad pick... its a good pick! Perhaps one of the most remarkable careers in wrestling, Page is a true Renaissance Man of the business. A former manager, commentator and World Champ, he's done it all.

"This was one of the top 5 teams….EVER!" - Jim Ross
I feel it's now time I chose my first tag team and while a lot of top teams have already been taken, one legendary tag team remains available and that team is...The Rock ‘n' Roll Express!
The Rock 'n' Roll Express, the two-time NWA World Tag Team Champions made up of Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson, would have to be regarded as one of the greatest tag teams of all time. The team of two young guys who liked to rock out and do high-flying moves were hugely popular in their prime and in his book, Shawn Michaels states the Midnight Rockers, comprising him and Jannetty, were an effort to capitalise on the popularity of the R 'n R express. It was Morton and Gibson who took Michaels under their wing in Mid-South and taught him a lot about wrestling.
The R 'n' R Express' feud with the Midnight Express (managed by Jim Cornette) in Mid-South and NWA was legendary, and they also had top feuds with Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson, Ivan and Nikita Koloff, as well as the Midnight Rockers.
Their tag team wrestling skills were top-notch and in wrestling slang, whenever a babyface in a tag match is being beaten on before he makes the hot tag, he is said to be "playing Ricky Morton" due to Morton perfecting this aspect of tag team action to an art form. Morton also had a good singles career, moreso than Gibson, and even feuded with Flair for the NWA Title with Flair commenting in his book:
"Robert Gibson, the dark-haired member of the Express, was a good wrestler and played well on the team, but his blond-haired partner, Morton, was the heart of the unit. Ricky was a fabulous performer, and probably could have been one of the top singles wrestlers in the business, but - unlike Shawn Michaels, who became a World Wrestling Federation champion after parting ways with his tag-team partner, Marty Jannetty - Ricky never broke up with Robert."
High praise indeed but it's as a tag team that I want the duo for my roster. The pair went on to have stints in WCW and WWE but were never given backing in either company (in truth they were getting on at this stage).
However at their peak they could talk the talk as this video shows:
And they could walk the walk as this video shows:
The Rock 'n' Roll Express will make a great addition to my roster and I'll leave the last words to Jim Ross who said this of the duo's legendary battles with the Midnight Express:
"[They] were awesome in their day and would be printing money if they were in their prime today. Any young tag team or wannabe tag team that doesn’t study these two teams closely doesn’t really want to be successful. Their classic battles are like text books on how to be the best tag-team wrestlers."
Can't put it any better than that!'It is better to walk alone in the right direction than follow the herd walking in the wrong direction.'

My 5th round pick - Dean Malenko & Perry Saturn!
Dean Malenko wasn't just a part of the cruiserweight division ow WCW, he was the cruiserweight division! A four time cruiserweight champion, he made the division his own with his his outstanding in-ring ability and smooth technical style. The complete anti-thesis to the usual high-flying cruiserweight, Malenko fought his way through the division using pure wrestling talent. The man of 1,000 holds (only 4 short of Jerichos record :pac:)
I've got to be honest, I was never that big of a Saturn fan. I was picking Malenko and remembered they teamed together so figured he could come in useful somehow. He was a good worker and had some good matches, but I missed him in his prime since I couldn't watch WCW. That said, from what little I've seen he was a pretty good mid-card level guy, and I don't think having him on the books can be a bad thing at all.

Malenko:* Extreme Championship Wrestling[6]
o ECW Television Championship (2 times)[10]

My next pick is in IMO one of the best big guys in the business.
Not only did he beat his opponents but he set about to destroy them!
Sadly he is no longer with us but his memorable feuds will always be known for their hard hitting, brutal style. He is "The Gladiator" Mike Awesome.
A former ECW champion, Mike Awesome displayed great athleticism for his size and combined it with brutal power in order to beat his opponents (just ask Tanaka!). I think he will make a great addition to my roster as an upper mid carder who can deliver great matches when needs be.0
