    With my roster filling up quite nicely i feel its about time to introduce to you the man who will from round 10 be taking up the reigns and setting the wheels in motion for all of CBG's matches:

    The King of Controversy!..













    eric_bischoff.jpg


    Eric Bischoff!

    Some say without him, the attitude era would never have began.
    He fore fronted WCW and created a product which caused the almighty Vince McMahon had to up his game and was the only true competition that the WWF has ever had.

    For this reason he makes a perfect contribution to my roster. :)



    Oh, and did i mention he's tough enough to get into a ring and go toe to toe with whoever needs be? ;)


    Roster so far:
    Commissioner Eric Bischoff
    Triple H,
    AJ Styles,
    Devon Dudley,
    Bubba-Ray Dudley,
    Matt Hardy,
    Lita,
    Bam Bam Bigelow,
    Mike Awesome,
    Test
    Stacy Keibler.

    My next pick:

    The Original Tiger Mask, Satoru Sayama.

    Junior%2001.jpg

    Here we are on the eighth round of this draw and already large proportion of the picks made so far have been smaller, junior style wrestlers, yet no-one thought to pick the greatest of the all? If I wasn't so delighted to have secured this guy I'd be appalled.

    Its difficult to put into words just how good this guy was. Over 20 years ago he was pulling off moves and putting on matches the likes of which the world had never seen before. he was a genuine innovator and its its no exaggeration to say that if it hadn't been for Sayama there would now be no Dragon gate, no ROH, no TNA X-Division and indeed no Shawn Michaels or Bret Hart. It was Sayama who broke the mould of the larger well built wrestler and his footprint is still seen in every Junior match that happens to this very day. He was so good that stuff he was doing 25 years ago would still be absolutely stunning if performed today with the regularity, accuracy, smoothness and reliability that he managed all those years ago. Not only was he sensational to watch, he rarely botched his stuff.

    The greatest compliment that can be paid to him comes from the great Dynamite Kid who regarded him as his finest opponent. Their matches are easily the finest Junior feud in the history of wrestling. Dynamite even went so far to comment in his book that Tiger Mask II, Mitsuharu Misawa, (himself a God of professional wrestling) wasn't half the worker that Sayama was. Even Vince McMahon was said to be absolutely stunned after seeing his match with Dynamite in MSG in 1985 and called it the greatest match he had ever seen. Pretty stunning praise, especially considering the big man fetish he had back in the day.

    Sayama is a legitimate tough guy as well as evidenced by his showings in UWFi. Hes not a guy to be messed with, despite his stature.

    In terms of drawing power and popularity, TM is unique amongst Junior wrestlers as being a genuine draw. He was commonly booked in the main event of New Japan shows and such was his uniqueness that people literally flocked to see him. Its safe to say that booking ihim on my card will definitely add to international interest from the far side of the world, especially considering the match I have in mind for him. Dave Meltzer names him and Liger as the two most influential Junior Heavyweights in Japanese history. Given that Liger would never have even made it was a wrestler if TM hadn't paved the way before him, its easy to see what a huge name he is.

    TM is an icon in not just Japanese wrestling but Japanese culture as a whole. The original gimmick was based on a hugely popular Japanese anime cartoon and literally everyone on Japan, male or female, of any age knows who Tiger Mask is. Its difficult to overestimate just how much of a coup it is to have booked him. Even a Western audience that had never heard of him would soon be captivated by his spectcular skills and in-ring charisma.

    So there you have it, I give you the legend, the icon, the greatest high flyer of all time, Tiger Mask.

    If you've never seen this fella before, feast your eyes on this absolute classic and see what you've been missing.

    Time to get hardcore on your asses...

    tt-hollys01st-2.jpg

    For my Round 8 pick I'm going to go for a tag team that knows all about the world of hardcore, I introduce to you former tag team champions The Hollys!

    I think this pick represents good value at this stage in the game. Both of these guys were good workers who had memorable careers in the WWE.

    Bob Holly aka Hardcore Holly was a genuine tough guy who helped push the WWE's hardcore era when it was in its heyday during the Attitude Era. Here's a vid which some of you may recall when he got a really nasty gash in an ECW match with RVD, yet continued to battle on:




    Crash Holly meanwhile was the more charismatic of the two and is perhaps best remembered for his brilliant run as the Hardcore Champion who defended the title under 24/7 rules. Here's a funny reminder of some of those days:





    As a tag team they won the titles off The Rock N' Sock Connection having a brief reign. They would team up on and off over the next couple of years but they never held the belts as a duo again.

    Here is footage of them having a short match against the Hardys in 1999:





    The main reasons I've gone for these two guys is to continue my brand's theme of edgy, Attitude era-style picks and also for the fact that I think the interaction that Crash and Santino could have with one another (throw in Beth into the mix as well) and you can see where I'm going with this. My previous pick of Hurricane and Rosey was also with a view of having entertaining guys on my show.

    Overall I'm really happy with the way my brand is shaping up.

    MNG roster

    Round 1 pick: The Rock
    Round 2 pick: Jake 'The Snake' Roberts
    Round 3 pick: The Big Show
    Round 4 pick: Santino Marella & Beth Phoenix

    I picked this team because i think individually the two guys have a lot to offer my roster. One of them is one half of one of the greatest tag teams ever, a former intercontinental champion and whenever he makes one of his guest appearances his ring work still impresses.


    The other adds a hardcore element to my to my group and has always made me giggle with some of his out of ring antics

    I give you

    The New Rockers

    Angelina Love & Velvet Sky, better known as The Beautiful People, are two of the best female heels in TNA today. Then tend to cause a stir backstage as well as in the ring. They have proven their in-ring skill in many organisations and have many title reigns between the two of them to show for it. They certainly have a shared passion for the business and work well together.

    I think these days it's safe to say Pro Wrestling is as much about what happens outside the ring than in it, hell even more so. With that in mind my next draft is 3 time PWI Manager of the Year, and multiple Wrestling Observer award winner. 12 times Manager of the Year, 5 times Best on Interviews, 3 times Best Booker and a Best Non-Wrestler award to top that large cake.

    Still curious? Then watch this.

    As I've mentioned in the General Discussion Thread, I've neglected my tag-team division in recent rounds, and thought I may have blown it a bit as I saw many go by the wayside. I already have, quite possibly, the best tag-team in the world today, and I just needed a team to complement them, and is able to garner the necessary heat to get the crowd to care. After a bit of thinking though, I had an idea. I give you....
    The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers

    RougeauBrosMicros.gif


    A team who have had notable feuds down the years with the likes of the Hart Foundation, the British Bulldogs and the Rockers, Jacques and Raymond Rougeau more then held their own as a top-tag team in the WWE. A bit like the Rockers, they have a tag-team championship win over the Hart Foundation that was never recognised. In this instance, their use of Jimmy Hart's megaphone cause the decision to be reversed.

    I'm delighted with this pick. They can work, and their heel gimmick is one that I hope to utilise effectively in my promotion as they feud with the effervescent, exciting Briscoes. It's a feud I can't wait to book, and a match I would look forward to seeing. I believe it's a feud that could capture the imagination of the public, and is a worthy addition to my undercard.

    Looking over my roster, I realised a few of my roster could benefit from a manager. But who?

    Well ... I answered myself ... who better than the person many consider the greatest wrestler of all time? A man who has cut some of the greatest promos of all time.
    That man is Ric Flair.

    Right everyone once again we went through a round very quickly and now we just await Mr Guappa to finish off Round 8. Round 9 is our most glamourous round ever - a Celebrity Round! Here is a rundown of the stipulations for this part of the game:
    If you are drafting a wrestler
    - Normal rules apply.

    If you are drafting a celebrity
    - He/she must have appeared in WWF/E, WCW, TNA, ECW (original), ROH or NWA on either TV, PPV or a houseshow (some common sense rulings may need to be made case-by-case).
    - You cannot draft 'tag team' celebrities. Bands are allowed, but band members cannot wrestle on you card.

    You don't have to draft a celebrity if you don't want to but this is the only chance you will have in the game to snap one up.

    The next round, Round 10, will give participants the option of pre-1975 picks as well as wrestlers from abandoned rosters.

    Hope that's clear for everyone. If you have any questions post them in the discussion thread. If you have queries which you'd like to remain private, send on a PM to Minto or myself.

    OK with that out of the way here is the draw for the next round:

    Round 9 Draw (Celebrity Round):

    1. SlickRic
    2. BountyHunter
    3. Mr. Nice Guy
    4. Jolt2007
    5. Jayhaitch2
    6. Chong
    7. Voltwad
    8. Furious-Red
    9. Comic-Book-Guy
    10. Mr. Guappa
    11. Minto
    12. Orestes
    13. Cactus Col
    14. Fozzy
    15. MuffDaddy
    16. RebelRockChick
    17. flahavaj
    18. gimmick
    19. Bubs101

    There you have it, folks. Mr. Guappa will pick to finish off Round 8 and then SlickRic will kick things off for us in Round 9. Get the red carpet out. Happy pickings. :cool:

    thank you, thank you, thank you. I had resigned myself in my head to a high number this round so I had alternative scenarios for more obscure celebrities thought out. but I am delighted to have my number one pick.

    my celebrity pick is none other than....
    'Iron' Mike Tyson

    mike-tyson.jpg
    Eric Bischoff coined the phrase (I think) 'Controversy Creates Cash'. It was made for this man. During the 90's, all you needed to do was mention this man's name, and people would immediately take notice. He's a lunatic. He's an enigma. He's brutally savage. He also happens to be one of the greatest boxers of all time, and the youngest Heavyweight Champion of all time.

    This man will put bums in seats, and on top of that, I think I have a plan for him that will suit him down to the ground and have people sit up and take notice. People will want to pay money to see this man, and the culmination of the story he will be involved in.

    He was part of the Wrestlemania main event storyline in 1998, where he was part of DX for a time, before turning on Shawn and becoming a member of Stone Cold University. And then that punch on Shawn....

    So, I give you the Baddest Man On The Planet!

    "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" my 9th draft pick is Muhammad Ali

    muhammad_ali_versus_sonny_liston1.jpg

    In 1999, Ali was crowned "Sportsman of the Century" by Sports Illustrated and "Sports Personality of the Century" by the BBC. Simply put he was the greatest. I dont know if any Sportsman was better than him on the mic ever but tbh i seriously doubt it.

    Here he is in an interview after recieving an athlete of the decade award.

    "I pity the fool!"

    mr_t.jpg

    I'm delighted to be able to get my first choice pick in this round because I felt if I was to get a celebrity it needed to be someone who could play a babyface. The person I'm picking is one of the most notable celebrity babyfaces in wrestling history. The guy who headlined the first Wrestlemania alongside Hulk Hogan against Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff, the guy who a year later faced off against Roddy Piper at Wrestlemania II, ladies and gentlemen a man who needs no introduction...Mr. T!

    Mr. T, star of the A-Team, was a true icon of the eighties who was also able to make Rocky Balboa meet his friend pain! A larger-than-life character he will fit in beautifully on my roster. I already know what I'm going to do with T but I'll keep that under wraps for now. The interactions he could have with guys on my roster would be off the charts hilarious. Santino and Mr. T, Hurricane and Mr. T, not to mention...The Rock and Mr. T. I pity the fool who can't dig that!

    Here's T and Hogan making their entrance at the first ever Wrestlemania...



    And just for fun here's Mr. T reminding everyone to treat their mother right.

    When I got such a good draw for this round I considered changing my pick. But then after Muhammed Ali everyone else seemed to pale into insignifance...accept for my original pick.


    I have a gimmick match that i wanted to put this guy in. I think it'll be perfect for her, and even though his last appearance didn't really draw, i think the merchandise opportunities alone are worth his inclusion.She'll appeal to the aisian market also.

    She's not great on the mike so I might need to get her a manager.

    My Next Pick: Mickey Rourke or Randy The Ram Robinson

    mickey-rourke-the-wrestler.jpg

    The ideal pick to have , he has the physique he has the training, he was a boxer, so happy with this celeb pick.

    Wrestling Background:

    In 2008, Mickey played the lead in The Wrestler, winner of the Golden Lion Award for Best Film at the Venice Film Festival, about washed-up professional wrestler Randy "The Ram" Robinson. He trained under former WWE wrestler Afa the Wild Samoan for the part, and has received a British Academy (BAFTA) award, a Golden Globe award, an Independent Spirit Award, and an Oscar nomination as Best Actor. Rourke was pessimistic about his chances to win the Oscar as he had been, in the past, very vocal against Hollywood's establishment.[20] Rourke lost the Oscar to Sean Penn, while Penn did acknowledge Rourke in his acceptance speech.

    Rourke has written or co-written six scripts: Homeboy, The Last Ride, Bullet, Killer Moon, Penance and the latest, Pain. Of these, the first three were produced as movies between 1988 and 1996.

    In early 2009, Rourke developed a small feud with WWE Superstar Chris Jericho, as part of a storyline. The storyline climaxed at WrestleMania XXV, when Rourke knocked out Jericho with a left hook after Jericho won his match against Jimmy Snuka, Ricky Steamboat, and Roddy Piper, with Ric Flair in their corner.

    Some vids:

    Firstly I thought Id set the scene with the title track for the movie by the boss:

    Lawrence Taylor has the claim to fame of headlining Wrestlemania XI in a match against Bam Bam Bigalow. Although this has been deemed the poores WM to date, he performed surprisingly well for a non-wrestler, boasting a powerful clothesline. How I will use him is not yet determined but it should make for good writing.

    FLOYD MAYWEATHER

    This guy was always my 1st choice once a celebrity round was announced, so I'm delighted to be able to pick him at number 9. He is a natural heel who unlike many celebrities before him looked perfectly comfortable and confident in the worked environment of pro wrestling. A huge draw who I have a nice storyline in mind for.

    NWL's celebrity draft pick is a man of many great characters. He is the insane Denny Crane and also the iconic James T. Kirk. I give you...
