Next, Fusion Pro Wrestling is proud to welcome two guys who have lit the entire world of wrestling alight over the last few years. They have given us five star matches, won gold everywhere they have gone and managed to piss off everyone in their way. But we think we might keep these two in check. After all, they are a pair of good Christian boys; what could go wrong?
ITS TIME FOR A SUPER KICK PARTY!!!!

The term "dream match" is thrown around too much. But for our next pick, we are picking a team to face The Young Bucks that more than fits that bill. The Young Bucks are arguably one of the best tag teams of the past decade, and it's easy to see why.
So, what if we put them up against the greatest tag team of all time?
I mean, a team that would be happy to knock some sense into these two and their flips.
The idea of this match is so big, that the Bucks even made a t shirt for it than you can get from Pro Wrestling Tees.
The superkicks and flips won't be the only rush felt in the ring.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH WHAT A RUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!

They were picked together in 2015 by Sin Eater and teamed together in Japan where they won the World's Strongest Tag Determination League (1985) to go along with their 2 reigns as PWF World Tag Team Championship in All JapanTed "The Million Dollar Man" Dibiase & Stan Hansen
Hulk Hogan, Batista, Mr Perfect & Scott Hall, Ted Dibiase & Stan Hansen0 -
When I selected American Alpha earlier in the game there was one tag team in particular that I thought would be perfect to go alongside them. Much like Gable and Jordan, I think these guys suit my roster beautifully.
Continuing the theme of selecting talent we've never had before, Monday Night Grappling is delighted to welcome...
Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas - The World's Greatest Tag Team!
And of course a nice bonus from this pick is it allows me to reunite the Team Angle stable...
Monday Night Grappling roster thus far:
1. Kurt Angle
2. Chad Gable and Jason Jordan - American Alpha
3. Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat
4. Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin - World's Greatest Tag Team0 -
Ok .... its time for round 5! Now round order is based on your average pick order so far. So who ever has had the worst luck in the first 4 rounds will get to go first, and so on... so the round order firstly is as follows :still to pick in round 4
14. Mr Nice Guy
15. Spongey1975
16. Diathi1989
17. A Brad Maddox Guy
18. Lee JM
19. DM_7
20. Necrominus- Furious Red - round average 15
- Spongey1975 - 15
- JP Liz - 15
- A Brad Maddox Guy - 13.5
- Bounty Hunter - 13
- Necrominus - 12.5
- Campo - 12.5
- LeeJM - 12.5

So thats the round order, now for the stip.......
I told you last time round to get your must have picks in during round 4 as
the following stip may restrict your choices greatly depending on your
round order, so with out further a do:
Homer, Apu, Barney and Skinner are here and they belt out a few barbershop
tunes before deciding on the stip for this round. But as with every super
group, the creative differences are tearing them apart and they can't
decide on what stiulation to use.... So we are gonna divide the round into
4 Stips!
The first 5 people will work on one stip, then the next 5 in the round
order will have a different stip to work under, as will the next five and
finally the last 5.
Barney is up first and hes had a few too many to drink as usual and keeps
singing "We are the champion's" really badly.
So for the first 5 people in round 5, The can only draft former Intercontinental or Us Champions (they
don't have to be both). So once your pick or picks have been either a
former US champion or a former IC champ, they are eligible to be drafted
Furious Red
Spongey1975
JP Liz
A Brad Maddox Guy
Bounty Hunter
Homers up next and hes tired of his taxes going up because of all those
imigints! So Homer Jay announces that only Americans are eligible to be
drafted this round. So for those in round order 6 through 10, once your
pick was born in the good ol US of A, they can be drafted.
Necrominus
Campo
LeeJM
Shagnasti
Mr Nice Guy
Apu is up next and hes talking about the joys of being a father to 8 kids!
Yeah. So he wants those in the draft to enjoy the happiness of youth in
this round. So the picks from number 11 to number 16 this round must have
had a match in NXT. So once your pick has appeared in an NXT match, they
are good to be drafted.
DM_7
thebostoncrab
Daight1989
Cheese Wagstaff
Slickric
Skinner aka The Funny one of the group wants the draft to go less
mainstream and more underground. So for those in picks order 16 to 20, all
draft picks must have worked in either Ring of Honor or Impact Wrestling.
So once your pick has worked a match for either TNA or ROH, they are
eligible this round for picks 16 through 20.
Paulie21
Imnotthehulk
Beakerjoe
Lord TSC
Brian Regan
Police Chief Wiggum still has a bee in his bonnet about being kicked out of the group and is extremely bitter. He thinks the Be Sharps stips are too restrictive, so he wants to open things up abit to spite the barbershop 4some.
So Clancey announces that seeing as the stips are fairly restrictive to an extent, as the chief of police he shall be
abolishing the TNA and IWGP titles as World titles from this round onwards
Everybody clear....good luck0 -

Round 4 of the draft, and there's only one guy DPW
Despite having "The Icon" Sting, "The Viper" Randy Orton and the man who walked into Suplex City and walked out 86 second later Goldberg, the roster was still lacking STAR quality.
This lead us to one man..
Welcome to Daithi Pro Wrestling...

STARDUST!!
But one signing is not enough at this time, so joining Stardust in DPW is his former Tag Team Partner.. Ted DiBiase Jr.
Welcome aboard, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase Jr, former 2 time WWE Tag Champs.
Question is, will they team up Randy Orton to reform the Legecy? Tune in soon to find out.

Finn Bálor: Hey Boss thanks for collecting me, I haven’t sorted a car yet.
DM_7: No bother Finn, looking forward to seeing what you think of the PC. I know you will love it, I have no shame in saying I copied the set-up they have down on Florida.
Finn Bálor: Yeah I know, I was there yesterday checking it out.
DM-7: Then why did you need me to collect you today?
Finn Bálor: I wanted to pitch an idea I had about bringing in some friends of mine. They are genuinely two of the best around, not just free agents, two of the very best signings you could make.
For the rest of the car journey he bigged up his two mates, “They were part of a group that changed everything”, but he kept their names a surprise. "Just wait till you meet them".
When we got to the PC it looked like word got out that Finn was in town as we had some groupies waiting on him, I went to go into the PC as as he said hello.
Finn Bálor: Where are ya going? You need to say hello to the two people I was telling you about, Its time for a revolution man:
They are no groupies :eek:
I draft Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch

Finn Bálor
John Cena
