HVW are proud to present two fine, technically gifted Wrestlers, one who is famous for his charisma on the mic, the other is a WWE Hall of Famer.
Don Muraco is one on the greatest ever wrestlers. Muraco pretty much had it all. Ability, size, strength, speed, the look, charisma, crowd drawing ability, you name it. Muraco enjoyed the most success in the WWF between 1980 - 1987. I'm delighted to be able to bring one of the best heels in the business onto my team.
Orton is a bonus pick for me, from what I've seen of him, he was more than adequate in the ring and people like Hogan, Backlund etc have all agreed he is Hall of Fame material. That's good enough for me.
Back to Muraco briefly, his heel promos were so good, this one in particular is a favourite of mine. I got to watch a lot of his stuff a while back and while he may not have reached his full potential in WWF, he was awesome in AWA, a completely rounded talent in the ring. He was crowned the first ever King of The Ring and had some great feuds with Jimmy Snuka, Ricky Steamboat and many more. He also held the IC title for over a year.
HVW:
Brock Lesnar
The Ultimate Warrior
Brutus Magnus
Doug Williams
Booker T
Cody Rhodes
Hardcore Holly
Magnificent Don Muraco
Cowboy Bob Orton Jr.0 -
One of the best technical wrestlers ever.
The Man of 1001 holds.
Just the man I need to sure up my roster.
He, Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit helped revolutionise ECW.
I won't go on too long, because it's late...
so here's...Dean Malenkoi'll pick his brother as his partner...who he fought against and with as the 'Malenko Brothers' in Japan.
He wrestled with Kobashi on occasions as well.
Not well renowned, but a useful option all the same.Joe Malenko

My next pick I'm diverging a little bit from my norm and towards just a fantastic psychological wrestler. A man who's promos were highly underrated by WWE, but still shone in TNA and the Original ECW. This guy could teach a master class in cutting a promo. No small wonder he's actually a member of MENSA. Enjoying moderate success if WWE (Hardcore Champion), WCW (US Champion) and World Championships with ECW and NWA/TNA, his fans are loyal and see how brilliant this guy really is. It's such a shame he never got to fully shine on the biggest stage of them all (WWF/E). His most famous moment would either be Crucifying Sandman or his feud with Tommy Dreamer in ECW, forming the Flock in WCW, or his triple threat match at WrestleMania X7 with Kane and the Big Show.

Introducing the newest member of my roster...
He is one of the most athletic large men ever to step into a wrestling ring. His short stint in ECW left us with some of the most memorable images in the history of the groundbreaking company. He was a World Champion and a TV Champion in ECW. He was completely under-used in the WWF. However, in saying that, he did headline a Wrestlemania in his day. He is a man that brings huge versatility to my roster. Fáilte Roimh go dtí....

My next 2 picks as best I can tell were not selected in last year’s draft which surprised me.
My first pick is a former Navy Seal.
He was not the best wrestler in the world but due to his look was still a headliner in both the WWWF and the AWA.
He was amazing on the mic. So amazing, they made him governor of Minessota.
He’s acted in pretty major films and even lectured in Harvard.
I give you:
Jessie “The Body” Ventura
My next pick is one of those guys that is one of the most under appreciated guys in the ring.
In the ring, as a big guy few were better than him. He moved so well and was deceptively athletic. Check out youtube and watch any match.
His wrestling observer awards show this:
Most Improved Wrestler (1981)
Most Underrated Wrestler (1982)
In his career he played the tough New Yorker in AWA only to get a “Flower shop” gimmick in the WWF (which some liked and some didn’t).
I give you the under appreciated:Adrian Adonis
Roster
Bret Hart
The Great Muta
Rey Mysterio
The Crush Girls
Jessie "The Body" Ventura"
Konnan

Magnum T.A. and Hacksaw Jim Duggan
Magnum T.A. was the man next in line to win the NWA title having been groomed to take it off Flair only to be robbed of the chance because of a tragic accident. A charismatic face with a rough edge after his accident he made a short return as a commentator and managed a few top level stars
Although he was never gifted in the ring he never needed to be because the crowd ate up everything he did in his ridiculously long career with the greatest Patriot act in wrestling history. Winner of the first Royal Rumble he was still on the WWE's roster 18 months ago0 -

My next pick are a team of Lucha Libre legends. The first is the son of the legendary El Santo and a legend in his own right. I've thoroughly enjoyed his matches in my research for the game and think he will fit in great on my roster. He is El Hijo del Santo.
Alongside him I wish to take another hugely popular Mexican wrestler who again I have been very impressed with from looking at his matches. He is Negro Casas.
Together the pair have appeared on WWE programming and in CMLL have held the CMLL World Tag Team Championship belts on two occasions.El Hijo del Santo - Championships and Accomplishments

Both of these guys are icons in their own country and with the proper platform behind them, I'm sure they can become even bigger stars.
I think they can have some very tasty matches on my show against the already assembled talent.

My pick for this round is the pairing of "Dr Death" Steve Williams and Mike Rotunda. They were NWA tag champions together and later re-uinted to tour All Japan winning the prestigious Real World Tag League.
Steve Williams is a guy I've had my eye on from the start. Hes one of the guys I've always adored and has legitimate claim to being the best gaijin foreign wrestler ever to work in Japan. He was a real life tough b*stard who has impeccable amateur credentials. He was equally adept at working a technical style of a hard hitting brawl. His matches with the likes of Kobashi were breathtaking and he is the latest a long list of credible main eventers to join my roster.
Mike Rotunda is a vastly underrated wrestler. Like Williams he has legit college wrestling credentials. He was a fantastic tag wrestler in particular and tagged with huge sucess with a wide variety of partners. He is obviously a fantastic second pick with Williams for me given the fact that I have Dibiase on my roster and will fit right in with what is fast becoming a strong main event heel faction headed by the Million Dollar Man.
Team Flah so far:
1. Mick Foley
2. "The Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase
3. Stan Hansen
4. "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson
5. Tully Blanchard
6. Scott Steiner
7. Ted Dibiase Junior
8. The Iron Sheik
9. "Dr Death" Steve Williams
10. Mike Rotunda0 -
On Behalf of Bounty Hunter, I give you the same team he drafted last year and that is why im just quoting his pick from last year...Double Kong
As a team Double Kong have won 3 different tag titles in japan aswell as multiple heavyweight titles, both also have wrestled in America most Notably Kong as TNA knockout champion while Aja was in the WWF. Both are also very different more physical types of fighters and perhaps could hold their own with some of the men in the BWA

Bloody hell ... that's two damn impressive C.V.'s right there. Either one of those should signify a legend. And you're right, I have picked not only a fantastic tag team, but two individuals that are considered honest to god legends.
Ray Stevens and Jimmy Snuka.
You know about Snuka, one of the greatest wrestlers never to be world champion, you think, hugely influential, you say, and you're right.
But Ray Stevens is a man you don't consider to be one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, and all that means is you're one ignorant sonovabitch.

Delighted to welcome one of the all time greatest when it comes to name and drawing power worldwide, André the Giant.
He is one of the few, if not only guy I can think of that would be one of the greatest stars in any era of wrestling thanks to his unique look, size and charisma so great it rivals not just any wrestler, but any person. A man who loved to entertain so much, despite being in great pain from growing to 9 foot 7 inches and weighing almost 900 pounds he wrestled at and headlined Wrestlemania III helping to draw over 1 million people live*
