Thanks DM_7.

DPW, now drafting a 3rd person in 3 days, has taken the Stip from the last round, and asked it's current to make a suggestions for someone who has a connection to them.

3 people nominated this draftee; Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiaseJr stating because he was the 3rd member of Legacy, with Rikishi wanting further family members on the roster.

Hornswoggle made the call, and this person was delighted to join DPW.

Fusion Pro Wrestling is about to reveal a strategy we played early on in the draft. Remember when we drafted Future Shock? (Kyle O'Reilly and ADAM COLE BAE-BAE!!!)

Well we had zero intention of drafting g them as a tag team.


Instead, we had our eyes on a singles wrestler and a tag team, so we drafted these two together because we banked on the tag team getting drafted early, but by themselves they would probably slip through the draft. And it paid off!

For our next pick, we take Bobby Fish, and with that are happy to say that we have drafted another one of the best tag teams in the world today, two time IWGP Joe Heavyweight Tag Champions and three time ROH Tag Champions, reDRagon!!!








Fusion Pro Wrestling
1) Shinsuke Nakamura
2) Jerry "The King" Lawler
3) The Young Bucks
4) The Legion of Doom
5) Akira Tozawa
6) Sami Zayn
7) reDRagon

Mr.Nice Guy

Monday Night Grappling is delighted to secure the services of arguably the greatest women's wrestler in the world today. WWE were reported to have offered her a contract last year, but she turned it down. She must have been waiting for our phone call.

Not since I first saw Manami Toyota have I been so impressed with a polished performer. Please welcome...




...Io Shirai!

Shirai is only 26 and I suspect we'll be hearing a lot more about her in the years to come.

Here is what Dave Meltzer recently said when asked who he thought was the best women's wrestler in the world and why:

https://twitter.com/davemeltzerWON/status/824907695777984512

And joining her will be her partner in the Thunder Rock tag team, who she has had some great battles with in recent months...



...Mayu Iwatani!


While there are more famous names out there, I think these two will be stars of the future and I decided to prioritise match quality since I think these women will best fit the look and feel of my roster this year.

Delighted to have them.

1. Kurt Angle
2. Chad Gable and Jason Jordan - American Alpha

Now onto the Final Round!

Round 16

In this round the guys from Springield who got cut from the stips are angry and they want to get their 15 seconds of fame. So We are going to give 20 of them a chance in teh final round.....

So what that means is we are going to have fun in this round. Each poster has been assigned a Simpsons character. The catch is when choosing for this round, your choice's name must begin with the same first letter your Simpsons charcater assigned to you.

eg, Liz has Clancey Wiggum, she choose someone whose name begins with "C" because thats the inital of the first name of Clancey Wiggum.

Their "name" can be either a gimmick they played for at least three months, or can be the first letter of their first or last "real" name. So, as an example, Kane could be picked for someone whose name begins with K or G or J (Glenn Jacobs).

Heres the round order as well as the Simpson Character assigned to you

1. Necrominus - Milhouse Van Houten
2. Spongey1975 - Rodd Flanders
3. Lord TSC - Helen Lovejoy
4. Beakerjoe - Todd Flanders
5. Imnotthehulk - Mindy Simmons
6. Cheese Wagstaff - John Frink
7. DM _7 - Cookie Kwan
8. A Brad Maddox Guy - Sanjay Nahasapeemapetilon
9. Shagnasti - Jimbo Jones
10. Furious Red - Lionel Hutz
11. Daithi1989 - Bob Terwilliger
12. Mr Nice Guy - Marvin Monroe
13. Bounty Hunter - Moe Sizlak
14. Campo - Carl Carlson
15. Paulie21 - Lurleen Lumpkin
16. LeeJM - Hans Moleman
17. JP Liz - Martin Prince
18. TBC - Joe Quimby
19. Slickric - Kirk Van Houten
