My next pick has a genuine claim to be considered the greatest of all time. A guy who was so legitimately tough that when he joined the US Army during WW2 they asked him to train the men in unarmed combat.
He is a former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, he became the youngest World Champion in history aged just 21, a hooker capable of tying his opponents inside out as he sometimes had to do against unprofessional opponents, he went on to hold the NWA Title for an unequalled combined total of 13 years and went undefeated incredibly for nearly 8 years. I'm talking of course about Lou Thesz.
Thesz was already an icon before wrestling became a hit on US TV but with it he went on to become one of the highest paid athletes in the country, even earning more than what sports stars like Joe DiMaggio were earning. At his peak Thesz was making two million dollars which was an astonishing amount at the time.
He sold out MSG and was a huge legend in Japan going there 48 times and according to Dave Meltzer being treated like royalty whenever he went. He also participated in a match with Rikidozan that measured a staggering 87.5 rating making it the highest ever TV show in Japan or the US. He received a citation from the President of the United States and was pictured with numerous celebrities.
Thesz is also credited with inventing a number of moves such as the belly to back waistlock suplex (a.k.a. German suplex), the Lou Thesz press, STF and the original powerbomb.
Honestly one could talk of this man's accomplishments all day but here's a few more brief facts from OWW:- Lou Thesz started wrestling as a professional at age 17 in and around his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri..
- Lou Thesz was Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion on six different occassions..
- Lou Thesz won the prestigious World title as recognized in Montreal..
- Lou Thesz held a variety of "International" championships that he defended from Europe to Japan..
- Lou Thesz remained UNDEFEATED AS CHAMPION for nearly eight years! (July/1948 - March/1956)..
- Lou Thesz, even with an artificial hip replacement, was able to take part in a match in Hamamatsu Japan..
- December 26, 1990: Lou Thesz (age 74) lost his final match to Masahiro Chono by Submission with the STF..
- Lou Thesz is the only wrestler EVER to compete in 7 different decades (BESIDES Mae Young)...
- Lou Thesz's biography, "Hooker," crafted in association with Kit Bauman, is available in a 260 page manuscript form..
- April 28, 2002 - Lou Thesz passes away -- The greatest professional wrestler of all time will be sorely missed..
Upon death, Lou Thesz's body was cremated and ashes spread on a riverbank in Missouri..Lou Thesz legacy

* Observer wrestler of the year award named after both him and Ric Flair
If you've never seen how good this guy wrestled in his day you may enjoy as I did watching this short match here with Gene Kiniski. There's no sound but this match is way ahead of its time:
Plus if you can spare 30 minutes you should check out this terrific documentary on the man's extraordinary life:
I'm delighted to add this bonafide legend of the business to my roster and I reckon he will fit in superbly.
MNG roster thus far:
- John Cena
- Samoa Joe
- Lance Storm
- William Regal
- (Original) Tiger Mask
- Fit Finlay
- El Hijo del Santo & Negro Casas
- Victoria
- ...and now...the legend Lou Thesz.0 -
I gotta make sure this guy is in my roster! My next pick is another current wrestler that's just impressed the hell out of me. He's a big name in Dragon Gate and it's American counterpart, and also made a name for himself in Pro Wrestling NOAH with his partner.
I was really impressed with his skills; despite his "boy-band" look...and the heel "killer" version of his character just sold me completely.
wBw is put two more talented Japanese wrestlers on the payroll :
BxB Hulk

Bow down to the King
Harley Race
Only the fourth man to win the NWA world heavyweight title multiple times before Flair emerged Race was the man with the most title wins in the companies history. He was Flair's opponent in his best angle ever (Flare for the gold) cutting an epic promo infront of a suitcase of money and is in the Observer, WCW and WWE hall of fame. A great promo and an even better in ring performer he won 3 PWI matches of the year and 2 Observer wrestler's of the year seamingly crossing the divide of marks and more innocent fans
Here's his book

Please welcome the 12th member of the D.W.O Revolt roster:
Ron "R-Truth" Killings
The young/underused wrestler plan is continuing in the D.W.O with the next addition to the roster, R-Truth. I'm lucky to pick a great wrestler who is ridiculously underused in the WWE at the mo. He has so much charisma, it's ridiculous. He's a 2 time NWA/TNA World Heavyweight Champion and his wrestling style is just what the D.W.O is looking for.
Cyberspace Wrestling Federation

My next 2 picks teamed up regularly over a 14 year period when Ray Stevens missed house shows. I got this confirmed by Grey Parks of the Torch (their AWA nostaliga man) on their audio show last night.
My first pick is one of the greatest all round wrestlers of all time.- He was great in the ring.
- He was fantastic on the mic with a very unique style.
- He had great longevity wrestling for 32 years, and wrestled well in all of those years competing well into the 1980's
- He was known as a complete professional outside the ring too.
- He is a forgotten legend.
- He held the AWA title longer than anyone with the exception of it's founder Verne Gage.
I give you:
Nick Bockwinkel
A great promo
Flair versus Bockwinkel:
My second pick is for my mind the greatest manager and arguably up there as the heel of the 1970's and the comic heel of the late 1980's.
In fact, as great as he was when we saw him, he apparently was better in the AWA.
He is in the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame and has won Best Manager in the Observer on numerous occassions.
I give you:
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan
So there's my pick:
Heenan and Bockwinkel
So my roster:1. Bret Hart
2. Nick Bockwinkle
3. Bobby Heenan
4. Rey Mysterio
5. The Great Muta
6. The Crush Girls
7. Konnan
8. Billy Kidman
9. Vance Archer0 - He was great in the ring.

I'll do a proper write up later if i get time, as I'm in work and won't be free until later tonight.
a legit worldwide draw, he'll fit seemlessly with my roster.

My next pick is a person who's known all across North America, but who's talents have only been really showcased for a brief period in recent years. She is Canadian ex-model. Technically she's done it all - being TNA's KO Champion and WWE Women's Champion. After being a valet for wrestlers like Jarrett, AMW and EY, she achieved great success in TNA, as it's inaugural KnockOut Champion; and the division was built around her. WWE acquired her by tripling her pay, and now languishes in the WWE RAW Division. Today, wBw are proud to bring her talents back to the forefront of wrestling's vision - Gail Kim!
It's very rare to be an excellent women's wrestler, and smoking hot to boot! Combine those, and the ability to get that super babyface pop, you've got arguably the best all-round women's wrestler of all time.
GAIL KIM
wBw also drafts her tag team partner from at least February-May in 2008; another talented women's wrestler, with a great outspoken attitude and unique look :

Time for me to diversify my roster with what I believe to be a great value double selsction.
Firstly a guy who furst came to fame with his insane brawls and ability to take any kind of punishment. Anyone who thinks that hes just a hardcore guy these days is sorely mistaken though. In the last two years that he has had something of a renaiisance. He has gotten himself an unbelievably chiselled physique and ditched his old hardcore style to become easily the most imnproved wrestler in Japanese pro wrestling. he is undisputable ythe ace of Zero-1 Japan wrestling and has had savage matches with loads of different well known names in the company's feud with New Japan. Ladiers and gentlemen I give you Masato Tanaka.
Check out his new physique below! Hes a new man!
Great little match agbove that showcases his new look and wrestling style.
By virtue of their two tag team title reigns in FMW Japan I'm taking high flying legend Hayabusa as his partner. Hayabusa is one of those guys who would e talked about in the same vein as the likes of Sabu if a horrible injury hadn't curtailed his career. Indeed it was Hayabusa that inspired Sabu's entire persona. He was a spectacular high fllyer who had absolutely no fear whatsoever, or regard for his own safety. He'll add great diversity to my roster and I'll enjoy booking him in a fast paced opener.
Above is the match that first made me fall in love with Hayabisa's work. Back in the mid-90's teh stuff he was doind was unheard of, even today its unreal. Everyone needs to watch this match.
Delighted to get two such fantastic workers in one pick, they give me an international flavour to my roster and open up a tonne of possibilities with regard opponents etc.0 -
Might as well pick one of the greatest Heels in Professional Wrestling..

My next pick is a former WWF European and Hardcore Champion. He is one of the most exciting wrestlers in WWE/F history when called upon. He has rightfully earned a reputation for being one of the most fearless risktakers in WWE History, and the images of his breaktaking feats will be in our minds forever. In 1999, he was voted rookie of the year by PWI. He is a man capable of anything, and we'll see what kind of mayhem he gets upto in my roster. Failte mor go dti....

The first female addition the HVW is the 9th Wonder of the World. The one and only. . .
I'm surprised that with all the divas been taken she has made it this far. Unlike a lot of other divas she fits really well into all storylines at all levels of the card and I would consider this a coup.0 -

Goldust
(exhale)
Easily the most talented of Dusty's offspring,Goldust is one of the most interesting characters in wrestling, not just his gimmick but also the man himself. Capable of such great work like the stuff he was doing in ECW but such utter crap like the stuff that preceded it in TNA it's his fun loving jokey character that gets all the attention. The Booker T stuff, the Stuttering with Triple H etc. and while all that is great Goldusts' original character was so much better. A really creepy character that played on all the homophobic problems of american wrestling fans and was such a great contrast to the traditional macho wrestlers. He also has one of the greatest entrances in wrestling and his finisher is a kick in the balls that disqualifies him. Genius
Maybe the best way to gauge his popularity is the Cyber Sunday result against two bonafide legends in Piper and Honky Tonk where in an angle made for Honky Tonk man Goldust earned 31% of the vote losing by only 4 despite never reaching anywhere near the success of the other two.
Of comedy goldust this is my favourite of a bunch of great ones.

My next pick is 6'5" and 350 pounds of pure solid muscle packed with charisma and promo skills. Vince would give both testicles and Hunter's nose to have this guy on his roster, and possibly has offered having made attempts to sign him in the past. Starting off in America in NWA Wildside, he was also signed by WCW in it's dying days, making one tv appearance before becoming a megastar in Japan, twice being named Best Box Office Draw and once Most Charismatic by The Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards. The greatest laugh in pro wrestling since The Million Dollar Man, he's not just a beast, he is The Beast, Bob Sapp.
Roster so far:
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin
Goldberg
Davey Richards
Eddie Edwards
Jerry "The King" Lawler
"The Universal Hearthrob" Austin Idol
Jumbo Tsuruta
Genichiro Tenryu
Tatsumi Fujinami
Sgt. Slaughter
André The Giant
Bob "The Beast" Sapp0 -

Time now to turn my attention towards my women's division and I think I've got two fabulous wrestlers who I believe have never been drafted in previous games before. I know Cactus believes he has the greatest women's wrestler of all time on his roster, and indeed he may be right, but I think also a case can be made for this woman. She is a former WCW Women's Champion and a well known figure in her native Japan. She is in the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame and has a 5 star rated match which some consider the finest women's match of all time. She is nicknamed The Dangerous Queen and her name is Akira Hokuto.
Here's a sample of what I'm getting from this pick:
Joining her will be her tag team partner from Gaea Japan where she held the tag title belts with Hokuto. She is a very tough wrestler in her own right who can work a brawl-style match or a technical one and she too has participated in some classic matches. She is Mayumi Ozaki.
Like Hokuto, Ozaki has appeared on WCW and here is a sample of what she has to offer my roster:Championships and Accomplishments - Akira Hokuto
All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling
AJW Junior Championship (1 time)
All Pacific Championship (2 times)
WWWA World Tag Team Championship (4 times) - with Yumiko Hotta (1), Suzuka Minami (2) and Mima Shimoda (1)[1]

OK with the jig being up with Gimmick awesomely securing a new Q&A with arguably Ireland's finest wrestler, I can't wait another round to procure his services! wBw's next wrestler is a fantastic in-ring talent, and a gleaming example of the pure talent in Ireland.
Previously in NWA Hammerlock, he moved to Japan where he trained in the New Japan Dojo. He attained great success in NJPW, this man currently holds the IWGP Jr Tag titles, after a brace of stunning matches against the MotorCity Machine Guns, with his current partner, Ryusuke Taguchi (known as Apollo 55). He made it to the finals of last year's Best of the Super Juniors Tournament, where he was bested by now 2-time winner, Koji Kanemoto. With an impressive wrestling repertoire and legitimate credentials, the sky is the limit for this proud Irish warrior.
wBw proudly spends it's 10th pick on the supremely talented :
Prince (Fergal) Devitt
Unfortunately since Ryusuke Taguchi hasn't wrestled in NWA, ROH, TNA or WWE I can't draft him too. Oh well!
wBw Roster :
Kurt Angle
MotorCity Machine Guns
KENTA
The Miz
John Morrison
Senshi
The Brian Kendrick
Hiroshi Tanahashi
Raven
BxB Hulk
Shingo Takagi
Gail Kim
ODB
Prince Devitt0 -
My next pick is one of the most entertaining..... entertainers in WWE today. His knowledge of everything wrestling related is incredible, and he has the charisma to go with his knowledge. He has the talent to be a wrestler, a manager or an announcer. Whatever he chooses to do, he seems to do it very well. He may well want to educate all of you as part of my roster. Please welcome...
Matt Striker
And for the sake of it, along with Striker, I will choose the man who he won the USA Pro Tag Team Championship with 3 times. He himself is a former NWA-TNA Tag Team champion. He wrestled in the original ECW, and then TNA after that.
Simon Diamond
Gers roster so far:
1 - Shawn Michaels
2 - Christian
3 - Sheamus
4 - Takeshi Morishima and Kensuke Sasaki
5 - Roderick Strong and Austin Aries
6 - Paul Heyman
7 - Bam Bam Bigelow
8 - Bruno Sammartino
9 - Shane McMahon
10 - Matt Striker and Simon Diamond0 -

I need a black tag team for my storyline.
Mark Henry and D-Lo Brown
He might not be as much of a ****** as Micheal Hayes but cult figure Mizark Henry is a legit former world's strongest man and an entertaining wrestler. His career is a mix of peaks and valleys but on ECW he showed how great he could be as the strong impossing heel.
D-Lo + Chest Protector = money

Next I'm have to add to my roster of Japanese wrestlers, because these guys are just too incredible to pass up. Masato Yoshino & Naruki Doi, together known as Speed Muscle.
Yoshino has to be the fastest wrestler in the ring of all time. The speed and smoothness he has in the ring is just amazing and has to be seen to be believed. Doi is one of the best wrestlers in the world today, being a part of arguably the best matches on each of the Dragon Gate USA shows so far, but enough talk. Have a look for yourself if you never seen these guys before. Here's their match in TNA against the Motor City Machine Guns. It's not too long so you have no excuse not to watch it :P http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x66bd7_tna-impact-6-12-08-speed-muscle-vs_sport
Roster so far:
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin
Goldberg
Davey Richards
Eddie Edwards
Jerry "The King" Lawler
"The Universal Hearthrob" Austin Idol
Jumbo Tsuruta
Genichiro Tenryu
Tatsumi Fujinami
Sgt. Slaughter
André The Giant
Bob "The Beast" Sapp
Naruki Doi
Masato Yoshino0 -
For my next pick I'm going for one of the most underrated and underused big man wrestlers of recent years, Mike Awesome. I always lobved Awesome in ECW and always thought he had buckets of talent. Whether he was throwing people through ringdside tables wit recklerss abandon or oulling off ridiculous suicide dives, he was always a guy who had that special "it" factor and it baffles me that neither WCW nor WWE could find something for someone with his talent and look. He proved at one Night Stand that in recent years he has lost none of his unreal talent when he had by far the matcvh of the night Of course it also helps that I've already booked the one wrestler that always brought the absolute best in Awesome.....expect some people to by eating some tables very very soon.
