    Roster: Shawn Michaels, Christopher Daniels and introducing…..
    Ted DiBiase Jr. & Cody Rhodes
    CodyRhodesTedDibiase.jpg

    “Simply Priceless”

    With big boots to fill, Cody Rhodes (second generation) and Ted DiBiase Jr.(third generation) have both shown they can forget about hiding in their father’s shadows and can indeed make a name for themselves. We have only seen the start of them just yet, but they are sure to make the jump to main eventers status in the future. Good in ring ability and great mic work, when given the chance, these two work well as a tag team. I’m delighted that these two talented wrestlers have become part of my roster.

    Titles and Accomplishments:

    Cody Rhodes:

    Ohio Valley Wrestling
    OVW Heavyweight Championship (1 time)
    OVW Southern Tag Team Championship (2 times)– with Shawn Spears
    OVW Television Championship (1 time)

    Pro Wrestling Illustrated
    PWI Most Improved Wrestler of the Year (2008)
    PWI ranked him #79 of the best 500 singles wrestlers in the PWI 500 in 2008

    Ted DiBiase Jr.:

    Florida Championship Wrestling
    FCW Southern Heavyweight Championship (1 time)

    Fusion Pro Wrestling
    FPW Tag Team Championship (1 time) – with Mike DiBiase II

    Pro Wrestling Illustrated
    PWI ranked him #187 of the best 500 singles wrestlers in the PWI 500 in 2008

    Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase Jr.:
    World Wrestling Entertainment
    World Tag Team Championship (2 times)

    Kenta Kobashi

    One of the very best that there's ever been, Kenta Kobashi is one of my all-time favourite wrestlers. He's a big and strong guy who can still pull off great moonsaults and who always tells a compelling story in the ring

    I think that the first thing that drew me to Kobashi were his facials. He's pretty much in a league of his own when it comes to portraying emotion, which more often than not is him trying to summon every last bit of strength left in him to overcome the challenge of his opponent

    Kobashi debuted in All Japan in the late '80s, going on an over 60 fight losing streak. He began to slowly rise up the card, often competing in tag matches. Sometimes he would play the underdog to his tag partner Misawa, who was the bigger star. Sometimes he would play the protector role when teaming with a smaller partner, like Kikuchi. Either way, he was involved in some classic matches back then. The reaction to Kobashi and Kikuchi winning the All Asia tag titles (I think that's what they were called, I'm doing this on memory) from Furnas and Kroffatt was incredible. It's not often that you see a Japanese crowd screaming and jumping around as much as that for a wrestling match

    Kobashi slowly rose up the card in All Japan, having excellent matches along the way, and he eventually won the top title in the promotion in 1996. He left, along with practically all of his colleagues, to join Pro Wrestling NOAH when it was founded in 2000

    Kobashi has been the top star in NOAH for most of his time there, although he has missed a significant amount of time due to injury and sickness. He was out for over a year with kidney cancer but made his return at the end of 2007. Since then he's had to have elbow surgery, making his comeback from that last month. He requested that he start back at the bottom of the card and work his way back up to the main event rather than go straight back into the title picture, in keeping with his humble nature

    I don't know how many people care that (just for argument's sake) Arn Anderson had one multi-tag team match rated five stars by Dave Meltzer or that Edge was involved in a "worst worked match of the year" (which someone posted in this thread earlier :pac:), but Kobashi has had 23 matches rated five stars by Meltzer (more than that if you were to go by my ratings), he's had six matches of the year as voted on by Wrestling Observer subscribers, and he's also been voted wrestler of the year four times, among other accomplishments

    I'm extremely pleased to have Kobashi on my roster. Having met the man and seen him wrestle live, I don't know if I could have picked a nicer or more talented wrestler

    There seems to be a reluctance so far to draft the big men of wrestling, they can often be seen as sluggish poor workers who certainly arent likely to go to the top rope, but im going to buck that trend b'cos none of that applies to this man...

    Weiging in at 450lb, a former WCW champion, multiple time champ in Japan and master of the moonsault, i give you the Mastadon Big Van Vader

    Got a dynamite main event so time to load up with charasmatic mid carders

    Razor Ramon and X-Pac

    Have teamed together in 3 different companies but I won't be using them as a team

    wwf%20razor%20ramon.jpg
    Considered by many to be the best to never win the title at his peak in 1994 he deserved a small run. Had the best match of the year and one of the best gimmicks of the decade. In later years he needed to be on his day to be great, at his peak he just needed to be sober

    xpac3.jpg
    I adored X-Pac when I was a kid. I thought he had it all. The attitude, a unique moveset, charisma but most importantly he was just so cool. Sure X-Pac heat is a now infamous term but it's ridiculously unfair to cast his whole career with that brush. It took a nosedive with the Tori angle but before then it was hot. Not only as X-Pac but as part of the NWO and as the 1-2-3 Kid (who Razor had a great feud with). He even got Shane over as a heel. Think this is the best value pick at this stage


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,767 ✭✭✭Minto


    On behalf of Flahavaj, I'm making his pick for him.

    The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes and "Bam Bam" Terry Gordy).

    Rebs-freebirds.jpg

    My next pick is one I wanted right from the start when I began planninmg my roster. For those who aren't familiar with these guys they were one of the all-time great antagonistic factions. These gjuys nearly caused riots back in the days of the old WCCW with their inflammatory promos and over the top flamboyance.

    the figurehead was Michael Hayes, a ridiculously over the top, brilliant talker. A top heel like hayes can only enhance my roster and a great talker like him can carry pretty much any feud.

    Terry Gordy is one of the great big men of all time. A brilliant brawler and stiff striker, hes the ideal no nonsense foil for Hayes' excesses. He had several immense matches in All Japan in the 90's as a single or in tags.

    Whether its alone or together, these guys put bums on seats, they did massive business down in the Soutrhern states back in the day and have entertained me no end from what I've seen of fotage of them in their prime. Even their theme tune rocked! I'm delighted to be able to use these guys, who could always get a crowd on its feet and booing, an invaluable commodity in building a balanced roster.

    Just listen to how good Hayes is on the mic here, chickening out of a match so Gordy can steo in for him, only to engage in typical heelish antics on the ourside. Awesome stuff!



    So there you have it, the Freebirds. they don't make 'em like this anymore!

    I've opted for one of my favourite tag teams, for those of you unfamiliar with the ECW pairing, let me introduce to you, The Public Enemy. Rocco Rock & Chris Grunge. While making me laugh quite frequently, they were brilliant in the ring and were one of the most feared ECW teams. Unfortunately now both are dead. RIP

    Weeeeeeeelllllllllll...well, it's the Big Show!

    24.jpg

    Since my brand is headed by the most electrifing man in sports entertainment - The Rock - I feel that logically I need to build it around him in order to maximise its potential. I was delighted in the previous round to snare one of the greatest natural heels in Jake 'The Snake', and I think I need to add to that with a great big man since The Rock as a babyface was always great at getting people to root for him against impossible odds. That's why I've gone for a guy who Ric Flair feels is the best big man the industry has ever seen. Yes my third round pick is none other than The Big Show!

    Big Show has been a great servant to the wrestling industry over the years boasting an unparalleled mix of brute strength, coupled with great charisma and impressive intensity. There have been some great big men over the years but how many of them could battle rap John Cena so hilariously? How many could face Kurt Angle whilst imitating Hulk Hogan and pull it off so brilliantly?

    That I feel is what makes Big Show the best big men ever. He can back it up on the mic and also in the ring. He brought instant credibility to whoever he faced and if you beat him, you got a big boost to your career (excuse the pun). I'd argue that The Rock in 2000, Lesnar in 2002 and Cena in 2004 all benefitted massively from their feuds with Show and how well he put them over. He is also very easy to build up as a creditable title challenger due to his physique. In the WWE he just had to return from a long absence and beat the sh*t out of everyone and that was all that was needed to get him over, ie at the Rumble in 2001 or his Smackdown returns in later years.

    I also think Show deserves a lot of credit in recent years for his work in ECW. I wasn't happy initially with him getting the ECW title but in hindsight I realise he worked his ass off to help the show and when Lashley got the torch passed to him by Show (another guy he put over) it's clear he lacked the credibility in the role that Show brought.

    Here's a good vid showcasing (another pun) his attributes...



    And here's one of my favourite moments where Rock mocks Show's new haircut...



    It's great to have these two on my show and in Big Show I know I have a guy I can count on, whether as a heel or babyface.

    Round 1 pick: The Rock
    Round 2 pick: Jake 'The Snake' Roberts
    Round 3 pick: The Big Show

    Gold Standard; Shelton Benjamin

    SheltonBenjaminPicture.jpg

    I believe this man will be really, really big one day. If he can find some charisma (perhaps a manager is neeeded ;)) then he'll be a fully rounded Superstar. But that wont hinder him on my show, the likes on Hart and Benoit weren't great on the mic and SB has technical brilliance that could very soon. match those two IMO.

    okay here is a first for the draft, thought id try this later but its too good a value pick to let go any later so my 4th round draft is the first inter-gender tag team drafted and is Trish Stratus & Carlito Colon

    from wiki
    Stratus returned to the ring on June 26 and started a romantic angle with Carlito after he saved her from a double team attack by Melina and Johnny Nitro.[70] They competed as a team and won a mixed tag team match against Melina and Nitro at Saturday Night's Main Event on July 15.[71] As a couple, Stratus and Carlito briefly feuded with WWE Champion Edge and Lita after the pair interrupted Stratus' title match with Mickie James. The two couples competed in several tag team matches, with Stratus and Carlito jobbing to Edge and Lita each time
    Trish-Stratus-0086.jpg
    she was a one-time WWE Hardcore Champion, three-time "WWE Babe of the Year" and was proclaimed "Diva of the Decade". After nearly seven years in the business, Stratus retired from wrestling on September 17, 2006 after winning her seventh WWE Women's Championship, the most in WWE history

    "I'll open a can of the ass whip!"

    glamarella.jpg




    In previous rounds I've looked to pick people who will captivate an audience and keep people entertained, and in looking to continue that vein I am going to choose two people who I feel are real positives in what is now a negative period in wrestling. Yes folks my fourth round pick is going to be the most dysfunctional team around, Glamarella!

    Santino

    I would class Santino Marella as the most entertaining character of recent years. While he may be limited in what he can do in the ring, without a doubt he is gold on the mic and one of the most entertaining figures the WWE has had lately. The Wrestling Observer awarded him the accolade of best gimmick for the past two years and he's someone that I know will put smiles on the faces of my audience.

    Here is one of my favourite moments of Santino where he does his best Amy Winehouse impression...




    Beth Phoenix

    The beautiful Beth will prove a very useful addition to my roster. She impressed me a lot when she came to the WWE as she can clearly go in the ring. I think it's fair to say she has a good career ahead of herself assuming she stays free of injuries, and her on-screen relationship with Santino has helped raise her profile. Also she's quite easy on the eyes!

    0000273706-54102L.jpg

    I like the idea of having the potential to use The Rock and Santino in some funny segments as well as playing Santino off of the very serious Jake 'The Snake' Roberts and the massive Big Show. Beth Phoenix will also prove useful in this regard and hopefully when I get some more females down the line I can come up with some good storylines. I think there's a lot of room for being creative here and I think therefore I've a good value pick here.

    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

    Molly Holly and Gail Kim

    imageandvideohostingbyt.jpg

    Two of the best women wrestlers available in this draft, they tagged for a number of months in late 2003 until Gail got injured: www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/g/gail-kim.html When Gail returned, they went back to tagging

    The highlight of Gail's career was as the centrepiece of the Knockouts division in TNA. With her as champion, her matches were regularly the most watched segments on Impact and she was involved in some good angles and some great matches. I don't think that it's any coincidence that TNA's womens division pretty much fell apart after Gail left

    Molly is widely recognised as one of the best women to wrestle in WWE. I think that she had to have something special about her to succeed in that company, because she never looked like the typical diva, and that something was her in-ring skills. She left the business of her own accord, probably at the peak of her talent

    I'm very pleased with this pick as it gives me a completely new, unique and talented side to my roster

    My fourth round pick is The Rock n' Roll Express of Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson.

    autorocknrollcolor2.jpg

    The Rock N Roll Express are without doubt one of bthe finest tag teams of all time and i'm shocked that they're still available.

    The Rock N Roll Express tagged througghout the 80's with massive success as a pure babface team. Their gimmick was as a pair of high-flying lovers of Glam Rock music. These guys were years ahead of their time. Without them to set the precedent for smaller workers working a high flying gimmick, there would be no Rockers, no Hardy boys no Briscoe Brothers in years to follow. They were true innovators and when they came along in the 80's they took the wrestlking world by storm.

    The entire formula of babyface getting worked over, only to make a hot tag and pop the crowd with a big comeback, used in tag matches to this very day can be traced back to the style innovated and developed by these fellas. No one in the history of professional wrestling has played the sympathetic face as well as Ricky Morton. He basically invented and made his own the role of babyface in peril that forms a part of every tag team match up. The quality of his selling, his size and good looks and his ability to tease a tag in built the suspense in his matches perfectly. Furthermore, even in victory they always made their opponents look incredible, a quality thats essential in building a roster. And Robert Gibson ws an incredible guy to have to make a hot tag and his sunset flips, which were rarely seem in the 80's were legendary. Their innovative double dropkick finisher was again something that fans at the time would never have seen before.

    As a singles guy Morton was great and he had a legendary feud with Flair that drew gret money around the territories.

    To summarise I have chosen not only one of the greatest teams ever, but a team that defined and shaped tag team wrestling as it is today.

    Everyone is going to the far east to secure their technical masters but I think I'll head down south and go for a man who's won wrestler of the year and best box office draw in the Wrestling Observer newsletter awards and had a tryout with the WWE in Febuary of 2007.Source http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/m/mistico.html

    Mistico
    mistico.jpg
    This guy is straight up amazing and both TNA and the WWE want him but are unable to come to terms with CMLL. He's not just a critical success but a commercial one too as seen by his wrestler of the year award and a top 3 placing in PWIs best wrestlers of 2007. .He a great pick because not only is he a top class technico and draw but he allows me to book incredibly important matches without using a title (Mask vs. hair/mask which mean more than belts in Mexico) and Luchadores have not been at a premium in this draft. Also given the success of Rey and the massive mexican demographic in the U.S. and the lack of mainstream success Japanese wrestlers have had there he's more valuable to an American company.

    Here's a montage of some of his best work and his NJPW debut

    http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8nc22_mistico-njpw-debut_sport

    Roster so far:
    Hulk Hogan
    Ultimate Warrior
    Scott Hall
    1-2-3 Kid/ X-Pac

    My fifth round pick is the Genetic Jackhammer, the Higher Power, the Boss himself Mr. McMahon!
    vince-mcmahon.jpg

    I've cleared this with Minto, in fact he would've chosen him himself only I was too quick

    The on-screen character mr. McMahon has legitimate claims to being one of the greatest heel characters in the history of professional wrestling. Ever since the real-life Montreal screw-job he has been hate figure for wrestling fans all over the world.

    Its no secret that Vince McMahon wanted to be a professional wrestler as a young man amd that the Million Dollar Man perosona was based around his own character. In reality he has surpassed nearly all but a select few in gaining heat and provoking reactions amongst audiences. People pay money to see this guy get his ass handed to him on a regular basis. If a babyface wants to be pushed into the stratosphere and msde a Superstar overnight, all he has to do is be booked in a programme with this guy. There's no way Stone cold Steve Austin would have achieved the success he did without Mr McMahon to play off. he drew millions of dollars from ordinary everyday people who lived vicariously through Ausitnb as they watched him do what they always wanted to do and kick his bosses ass! Any babyface I choose to put in a programme can be propelled from the mid-card to a money drawing Main Eventer overnight.

    In terms of on-screen portrayal of a heel, Vince is second to none. His facial expressions are immense. The over the top walk is classic hyperbolic heelishness. The catchphrases such as "You're fired" and stunts like the "Kiss my Ass Club" are so easy to book its a pleasure.

    In the ring as well, hes no slouch. He has had fanbtastic brawls with every Main Eventer over the past few years including a surprisingly great match against Hogan (his facials were just immense in that one), HHH, HBK, 'Taker, Flair to name but a few.

    Such a well developed, universally recognisable and downright brilliant character is a massive asset to me and I'm chuffed to have got him!

    Classic McMahon heeling it up to the last here on Foley!

    Perhaps the most hated stable in Wrestling history is returning and possibly recruiting ;)
    RIGHT TO CENSOR
    Introducing Bull Buchanan & The Goodfather
    rtc_bradshaw-sun.jpg

    As well as making for some interesting promo's, the response from the crowd will be so negative whenever that crappy entrance theme is heard that it remains to be seen whether or not Bull and his conservative, enforcing ways can keep a lid on the PIMP inside The Goodfather. They'll also add brute strength to my tag team division.
    Bull's Accomplishments:
        * All Japan Pro Wrestling
    
            * AJPW All Asia Tag Team Championship (1 time) – with Rico Constantino

    Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn
    malenko2.jpg
    A pick I really liked last year, Malenko is one of the best American technical wrestlers left and given some of the guys on my roster and some of the guys I plan to pick his size (which always held him back) won't be an issue. From what I've seen he was one of the few good heels in the cruiserweight divisions who never main evented which is quite a rarity.

    011.jpg
    I think Saturn is much better value in this draft than in the last because (hopefully) nobody is going to pick Kronus by himself which should let me pick him off later and get a good tag team for great value. Had a very unique look and style and if my (fairly obvious) plan doesn't come to fruition I always have a comedy hardcore star in him. Always thought it meant alot that Killer Kowalski thought Saturn was the best of the wrestlers he trained including HHH, high praise

    Quick pick with write up to follow.

    I'm picking a tag team but have no intention of using them as a team...and I think you'll see why.

    Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert and The Dog faced Gremilin Rick Steiner

    "Which way did he go?!"

    12.jpg

    Here come the money...I'm going to pick someone who has considerable history with two of my previous picks, who has been known for not only playing a great heel owner but also producing spectacular in-ring performances. Yes my fifth round pick is none other than Shane O'Mac!

    Shane McMahon has shown over the years he's more than just a spoiled rich kid living off Daddy dearest! He's proven himself to be a tough S.O.B. who will willingly take big bumps to please the audience and as well as that he's also great on the mic and good at getting the crowd to hate him.

    I think Shane is a good fit for my roster. He will play a great foil to The Rock - as he has done in reality in the past - and I can also draw upon his giantkiller history with Big Show if I want to. I will look to use Shane McMahon mainly in a GM-type capacity but what I like about this pick is that I can also utilise him in the ring too if I want.



    Plus, I can always ask him to jump off something really high and I know he'll happily oblige. :cool:

    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
    Round 5 pick: Shane McMahon
