For years I couldn't give two ****s about women's wrestling but my 7th pick changed all that
Gail Kim
She is the woman who I firmly believe to be the best female technichal wrestler in history by a mile and is one half of the feud that kick started the current explosion of women's wrestling.Not only does she have great technichal ability but she is the Queen of ring psychology. She is also the woman who can get the best out of the big women as her feud with Awesome Kong showed meaning she should be a perfect fit for Chyna.
She has a unique look being the only female Asian I can remember being involved in wrestling since Kai-en-Tai. She is the only women ever to be the Women's champ in both TNA and the WWE. She joins such elite company as Carlito as being one of the few wrestlers to win a belt on her debut.She was the first ever TNA women's champion .She is also more than accomplished as a manager having had success with the second best tag team (after the Miz and Morrison) of the last 5 years, America's Most Wanted#
A rundown of one of the best feuds of any gender this decade
Considering how well Kong vs. Kim did for TNA one can only wonder how good Chyna vs. Kim would do
Gail Kim vs. Victoria

Junkyard Dog
JYD was one of the most popular wrestlers of the '80s. If you've seen him in the WWF then you know that the fans loved him, but if you've seen him in Mid South then you'll know that they absolutely adored him
In the southern states he wasn't just one of the most popular wrestlers, he was one of the most popular sportspeople. That was in large part due to his charisma. One of MMA's most charismatic fighters, Quinton Jackson, was a huge JYD fan growing up and he has influenced him
Some notable accomplishments:
USWA Heavyweight champion
Mid-South North American champion
Wrestling Observer feud of the year vs Ted DiBiase in 1982
Winner of WWF's The Wrestling Classic tournament
PWI Most Inspirational wrestler of 1980

Sorry for taking almost a full day guys. Hadn't been at a PC much, and when i was, i wasn't able to get onto boards
Regardless....
Wrestling has never been just about.. you know... wrestling.
No, the entertainment side comes into play a lot too. In my opinion, this man is possibly the greatest non-wrestling entertainer WWE's had in the past decade. I loved when he was a GM and thoroughly enjoyed his skits, storylines and so forth.
Indeed, Eric was a reason I'd tune into raw. The cowardly, deceiving manager that everyone loved deep down. From his often-hilarious stints with Austin, realistic reactions in different situations, and his [kayfabe] excellent match concepts (Elimination chamber [/kayfabe], I think Eric is a great addition to my roster.
I used to tune into see what he is getting up to.. I'm sure others would too..

I think this might come as a bit of a surprise selection.
So far my roster is full of intense athletes, skilled technicians,straight out heels and bad guy tweeners.
Which is great, but I really need some true babyfaces that all the people,especially the kiddywinks, can get behind and cheer and make their parents to part with a lot of the lucrative merchandise dollars.
So with that in mind, who is a bigger babyface than your friendly neighbourhood superhero
The Hurricane and his SuperHero In Training,Rosey.
Great for the kiddies to get behind.
Decent mid card tag team that can be used for developing other wrestlers.
And I was always able to have a bit of a giggle at some of their backstage antics

my next pick is a relatively new wrestler but here we go anyways.
i think he is a breath of fresh air in wwe at the moment. i always enjoy his matches since he arrived. i also think he could make a great heel aswell. He already is intercontinental champion. hopefully he gets pushed but not to early0 -

My next pick is based purely about getting a guy who I always believed was an awesome worker and on top of that getting another guy who at his peak could really go too. They teamed up on Velocity a few times introducing:
Ultimo Dragon and Billy Kidman
Now, for anyone that has only seen them in the WWE, there’s a danger this pick may look kind of strange. But for fans who watched them in WCW, they’ll know that at their peak, both of these guys were really, really good workers who were pivotal in the success of the cruiserweight division in WCW.
Ultimo Dragon
I am a huge fan of Ultimo Dragon. Undoubtedly in the 1990’s Dragon was one of the top workers in the world working in America, Japan and Mexico blending wrestling styles from all 3 areas making him so much fun to watch. Jericho once said about him:"I worked with Dragon for about a year straight. Asai is probably my favorite opponent that I ever worked with."
A list of his awards in the Observer:Ultimo Dragon- PPV Matches in WCW rated 3 ½ stars or better by the Observer= 16
Most Under rated 2003
Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame Inductee 2004
Really good tribute video for Dragon (Again if you’ve never seen him at his best, it’s really worth watching):
Kidman
If you only know Billy Kidman by his WWE run, your missing the boat. In WCW, he was consistently entertaining, putting on really good matches in the cruiser weight division and he was over too.
His Observer record:Billy Kidman- PPV Matches in WCW rated 3 ½ stars or better by the Observer= 17
Mysterio v Billy Kidman in WCW:

Ric Flair, The Fabulous Freebirds, Dusty Rhodes, Demolition, Superstar Billy Graham, Jesse Ventura and introducing…..
Jerry Lynn has wrestling debut in 1988 and had wrestled in WWF, ECW and TNA as well as a short stint in WCW. He is slightly bigger than your usual high-flyer, but is equally as adept in the art form. He was criminally underused during his stint in WWF, but is still regarded as one of the worlds top in-ring performers.

I am very surprised this guy is still available at this late stage. While he is more known for his runs in ECW and indeed WCW, he also had 2 seperate runs in WWE, even once winning the Intercontinental title. He is the man who was more educated than the rest of us, the man who HHH stole the idea for his gimmick from, he is the man who on winning the NWA title delivered a massive promo and dumping that very title into the bin ........................................................................
Thats right folks, my next choice is Shane Douglas

It's late and I'm almost positive this guy hasn't been chosen yet, but if he is I apologise and will change it in thew morning.
My 7th draft pick is... You-man-ga!
Here's his debut:
0 -
Rd1: Hulk Hogan
Rd2: John Cena
Rd3: Yokozuna
Rd4: Jimmy "Superfly Snuka,
Rd5: Tazz & Raven
Rd6: Don Muraco & Cowboy Bob Orton
I could probably have waited till atleast the next round to make this pick but this guy really could be important when you consider who ive already rosterd therefore.
Rd7:Mr Fuji
Mr Fuji is a former 5 time WWWF/WWF World Tag Team Championship with Toru Tanaka (3) and Mr. Saito (2) but is most well known for his role as a manager.He played a great comic heel character and managed Yokozuna, Don Muraco and Cowboy Bob Orton all of whom are on my roster already among others during his time in the WWE. Also well known for his signature "Salt Assault" aswell as his memorable laugh both of which are actually used today by the Miz and Morrison during their show "The Dirt Sheet".
the below Youtube links show Mr Fuji managing two members of my roster (Yokozuna & Muraco) and showcase first his comedic side (so bad its hilarious) and secondly in a wm recap where the last 1m30 see his salt throwing abilities and mismanagement of Yokozuna in the main-event.

"Here she comes again, like good medicine..."
I feel it's about time I chose a lovely Diva to appeal to my 18-34 age demographic and in my eyes I need someone with sexiness, attitude, charisma and who the fans will care about so I can't think of anyone better than the lovely...Maria!
Maria burst on the scene via the Diva Search in 2004 but unlike so many of the women who passed through the WWE via that contest, Maria has shown a fierce determination to do well and a great respect for the wrestling industry. It's hardly surprising that Paul Heyman calls her the most dedicated diva in wrestling since she was pitching booking ideas to him whilst in OVW! She has also shown a willingness to better herself in the ring and has stated one of her goals is to be a women's champion. She's not afraid to put her body on the line as was seen when Umaga destroyed her on one occasion.
Maria has a great connection with the audience and plays her ditzy, naive character very well and to great comedic effect as was seen with her storyline with Santino as well as Ron Simmons.
Maria is a great asset to my roster and I know lots of people will tune in to see her. Did I mention she's blooody gorgeous?!

I'm breaking from my plan and going with an even "older" pick than some of my other ones. I don't think it's who Fozzy is thinking of picking but I've decided to go with him anyway.
This man is a legend, one of the greatest from the post war-era and one that I think could adapt and work with the wrestlers I have, especially 1 in particular. Introducing, the often copied:
Nature Boy Buddy Rogers
Here's a list of his accomplishments:
- First ever WWWF champion.
- NWA World Heavyweight champion
- Inducted in the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame in it's inaugural year.
- Ranked 10th in the Top 100 Pro-Wrestlers of all time by (John Molinaro, Jeff Mareck and Dave Meltzer)
- Ranked the 4th greatest wrestler ever by wrestlingperspective.com
Here's a quick bio. on him:Professional Success: AWA (Al Haft), NWA and WWWF champion. Considered one of the greatest workers of the postwar era.
Importance to History: A bleached blond blowhard who was the macho version of Gorgeous George. Every blowhard afterward, from Fred Blassie to Ric Flair, is in his debt. Practically invented the art of the interview. One of the few wrestlers who knew how to use the tube to his advantage.
How Good in the Ring: One of the smoothest and most consistent workers when healthy. His ego led to more than a few locker room skirmishes, the most famous of which was the confrontation with Karl Gotch and Bill Miller.
Drawing Power: Women loved his arrogant bluster with a sense that they knew it was no act. Men hated him but came out in droves to see him anyway. Along with Rocca and Thesz, the drawing card of the Fifties.
Mainstream Status: Featured in many magazine articles and appeared on quite a few television shows. Even made the pages of Mad Magazine in 1964, in a parody entitled “Angry Magazine.” Buddy shares a round-table forum with boxer Sonny Liston, labor leader Walter Reuther, and U.S. Sen. Barry Goldwater. Highlight was a drawing of Rogers trapped in a leglock by Goldwater.

For my next pick, im going to put a heel on my roster.. A heel whom i felt was hugely under-rated by people...
Definitely one of the best in recent years in my opinion. He was edgy, controversial and hated (a little too edgy, controversial and hated, apparently).
Yes indeed, some people cant understand that wrestling isn't real, and he was pulled from our TV screens forever
However, during his time, i felt he was one of the absolute best characters on RAW (and later SmackDown!). He was also pretty smooth in the ring aswell i thought. Wasn't afraid to do big spots, (Powerbomb through the stage, thrown through the front of the announcer's desk... or was Daivari thrown through the front of the announcers desk?) and played his character convincingly, and well overall excellently as far as i am concerned. From spitting on the ground during his intro's to his brilliant character-specific theme music and being carried to the ring at the Great American Bash, i feel they used him very well.
Another reason i chose Muhammad Hassan is because of the media attention he got WWE in magazines, newspapers, etc. across the US, which is tough to do in 2008. Albeit, no media outlets really looked at WWE's Hassan character in a positive way, but better to be looked down on than not looked at all in my opinion. Any media attention is good media attention. And we all know how much WWE loves media attention.

Sable
There's only one person who I wanted for this round, and that's Sable. Possibly the most over woman ever at one point in her career
She wasn't a great wrestler by any means, so I'm not going to use her as a wrestler. She will be a valet. A valet who all the women want to be and who all the men come to see!
It's hard to explain how over she was ten years ago when today we've got an oversaturation of divas in WWE. She was one of a kind back then, and while not as talented as some others, she had something that the fans liked a lot
A few accomplishments:
WWF Women's champion
Miss Slammy Award winner
Three Playboy covers

"It's Ghetto Blaster time, fool!"
I feel I have a nice balance of heels and faces but now it's time to add a wildcard into the mix. For my Eight Round pick I've decided to choose one of the first well known tweeners in the wrestling business and one of the legit toughest guys the industry has ever seen...Bad News Brown!
Bad News Brown (aka Bad News Allen prior to WWE) was a Judo expert and bronze medal winner at the 1976 Olympic Games. A star of Stu Hart's Stampede Wrestling before joining the WWE in the late eighties, Bad News Brown is often regarded as a precursor to the Stone Cold character because Bad News would often double cross both babyfaces and heels and aligned himself with no one. He was a loner who simply enjoyed inflicting pain on anyone who crossed his path. He would demonstrate this characteristic at back to back Survivor Series appearances when he walked out on his heel teammates both times.
Bad News also had run-ins with two guys on my roster. Bret Hart, who he eliminated at Wrestlemania IV to win a Battle Royal, and Roddy Piper who he fought to a double count-out at Wrestlemania VI. He also enjoyed main event feuds with Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan as well as a memorable feud with Jake Roberts.
Here's a quality video of him doing what he did best - owning people!
Away from the ring he was also a very tough man and even had Andre the Giant back down from him when he confronted him after Andre called him the N word (something Dynamite Kid speaks about in his book). You can hear Bad News talk about this below which I think was shortly before he died:
Bad News also had good mic skills and a fun personality as he demonstrated when he appeared on the Arsenio Hall show during his feud with Jake Roberts. Really funny interchange between the two men as Bad News threatens to teach him some respect. You don't give Bad News lousy food!
All in all I think Bad News is a top pick. A man ahead of his time, there are a lot of good bouts he can have with my other draft picks whilst his edgy persona will add an extra dimension to my roster.'It is better to walk alone in the right direction than follow the herd walking in the wrong direction.'
