    My pick for Round 5 is a guy who is not only a fantastic wrestler in his own right, but also allows me to round off one of the greatest wrestling stables of all time.

    Barry Windham

    barry_windham.jpg

    In the opinion of Dusty Rhodes, Barry Windham is the most naturally gifted performer he has seen in the business; Steve Austin referred to him as at one time the best in the world.

    He is also of course a former member of the Four Horsemen and I give to you Ric Flair's take on Windham from his autobiography:

    "Barry was one of the best in-ring performers in the business, and he knew what to do when he had a microphone in front of him. I consider Tully, Arn, Windham and myself to be wrestling's top "gang" of all time. If everyone was in shape, the four of us could go to WWE today and sell out everywhere."





    I'm very excited to get the chance to use the Four Horsemen this year.

    Monday Night Grappling roster thus far:

    1. Alberto Del Rio
    2. Ric Flair
    3. Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard
    4. The Fabulous Freebirds - Michael "P.S." Hayes & Terry Gordy
    5. Barry Windham

    LCW is proud to bring in a 3 time world champion and a very big name for this stage of the draft, have looked through the list many times as I thought he'd have been picked before, can't see him there, so unveiling, Lex Luger.

    images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQH2kRFAJvE865whmqfUcQ4xPeGbgg8SL0kHjiPmRmdB_PbWb4m

    Sting was not at the press conference so his thoughts on his old friend and tag team partner joining the roster are unclear, in fact, Sting has not been seen since his unveiling on the roster...

    Prince Devitt
    Sting
    AJ Styles
    Dudley Boyz
    Lex Luger

    Still to pick this round...

    20. Bounty Hunter
    Missed Pick: Vince135792003

    Round Six
    stipround.jpg
    Choose A Wrestler for the Next Person
    The idea of this round is simple enough; you choose a wrestler to add to the roster of the person whose name comes after yours on the round order. The point is that you read over the other person's roster, identify a wrestler you think should be added to their roster, and choose for them.

    So, Mr. Nice Guy starts things off by picking someone for Cactus Colm. Colm then picks for DM ICE, who then picks for Campo, and so on.

    Draft Order
    1. Cactus Colm
    2. DM ICE
    3. campo
    4. The Boston Crab
    5. glenjamin
    6. Furious Red
    7. Vince135792003
    8. JP Liz V1
    9. A Primal Nut
    10. Spongey1975

    I'll start things off in this round by choosing for Cactus a man who has headlined Wrestlemania, is a former WWF Champion and still gets a strong nostalgia pop to this day.

    Sgt. Slaughter

    WMVIIsgt.jpg

    I went for Sarge because he's good value at this stage and with Chono and Muta on his roster I thought there was the potential to play off that with a USA vs foreigner angle if he wants that option.

    Cactus Colm Roster:
    Masahiro Chono
    The Great Muta
    Shawn Michaels
    Rob Van Dam
    Diamond Dallas Page
    Chris Kanyon
    Charlie Haas
    Shelton Benjamin
    Sgt. Slaughter

    Right ...

    I've been racking my brain for a pick that would be suitable for DM-ICE, and it's hard going, so I've settle on a tag team that I would've picked for myself in this round (had it being a straight one). They have a history with Hiroshi Tanahashi and in 2011 were considered the best tag team in professional wrestling.

    So for DM-ICE I am picking:

    GIANT BERNARD
    ignore his current push, and look to his time in Japan

    and

    KARL ANDERSON

    AKA

    BAD INTENTIONS

  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,714 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    For Campo

    right so I noticed you like legends so I decided to throw you a challenge and give you something current to work with instead, you will have seen one with his own thread recently and the other is pretty relevant as well. At very least this pick will:

    - give you a trade
    - Piss someone else off!

    I present 2 time PWG tag champs (5 months worth of reigns so they must be eligable) - lots of other achievements available for viewing on the interweb.

    Kevin Steen

    &

    El Generico

    After looking through your roster Glen, you has three great big men, but it always seems off to have an odd number, so I think having another big man rounds things off nicely. So for you I present one of the best big men in the world, a former and current world champion in his home country...Takeshi Morishima!!!

    My pick for Furious is an old friend of one of his picks, and a very underrated wrestler. May I present...

    My Pick for Shag is someone who knows Brian Pillman quite well

    "The Franchise Shane Douglas"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,362 ✭✭✭ShagNastii


    Looks like I have to pick for JP Liz V1. Her fed seems to be full of technically great wrestlers. I hummed and hawed about stiring it up with a super-heavyweight but I decided to add another great legend of the mat to the roster.

    Ladies and gentlemen.

    One of the wonderful WCW cruiser-weights, a man involved in one of the companies most memorable feuds, a second generation star, the iceman. (No...not Glacier)

    Pick for Baked Beans seems pretty simple given his roster.

    He already has Kane and Daniel Bryan. He already has Miz and Morrison. He already has London and Kendrick. He already has JBL and...

    ....
