@Cor can you just post your pick without needing to quote your entire roster every time? It just clogs the thread up.

I missed quite a bit...
But I never thought The Tokyo Pimp would get drafted.
People dig deep into the well for this one.
I am impressed.
:amazed:

I am especially thankful for anyone mentioning names that I haven't seen much if any of. Watching the YTs and WWE network clips is my fav part of this, acting like a talent scout as my opinion on the mechanics of wrestling is the least bit valid.

More and more people are watching the Japanese stuff so someone like him is going to become more known.

I wanted another Bullet Club guy and he's my favourite that is left and fits what I want to use him for.

I also enjoy coming across new wrestlers a lot. I haven't come across many new ones this year but time remains, plus it can be enjoyable to see someone named who I haven't thought of in a long time.

Also, WALTER was going to be my selection with my most recent pick but I decided to just get picking Gallows out of the way. I thought that he would make it through to my next pick.

I really held my tongue on WALTER after Keith Lee was drafted...
As they had a 5-stars match together.
For anyone who missed out on Lee...
WALTER is a great alternative.

Hats off to Live in the Now.

Yeah...
I thought a lot of people would sleep on WALTER...
And he went around where I expected him to go.

He will definitely move up the list next year.

I think he is extremely sloppy...
And he has topped his ceiling...
Since he is happy being in tag team matches...
But I am curious to see how you would use him.

Last year...
I thought about drafting him for the pre-show...
But my card got too bloated...
And his opponent got picked.

I was also watching for it but it didn't seem like anyone was picking guys like that. I didn't really need him but I changed plans when some great value like Dr. Death was available so late. I wanted a high impact big guy so Walter fit the bill but I can replace him with someone I would be shocked to see picked. Walter was my way of adding some modernity to what is going to be a very old school match.

I was seriously considering Walter too. I actually thought I'd snag him. He was going to be an opponent for Alex Wright:

"Achtung! Achtung! I know all of you stupid Americans are really stupid, but you know are just as stupid as American? Austrians!"

Somewhat surprised to see Mr Kennedy go since I don't think he went last year. I had a few ideas for him, but nothing worth risking going after him. He was also an alternate to Walter for the Alex Wright match.

I was also considering Maryse as a valet for Cesaro, but figured she'd go before I'd consider actually going for.

We'll see if A) I get my next pick and B) if I do what I do with him.

I forgot to give props to JackSlater for the selection of Aja Kong.
In her heyday...
She was incredible in the ring.
Someone her size should not have been able to keep up with Toyota...
Or even do some of the aerial moves.
She had been largely bypass the last two drafts...
So I am happy to see her get picked.

Nakano is also incredible value in the 19th round.
Great picks.

Man...
The Revival has really fallen off the radar.
That is really disappointing.

Great value in the 19th round though.

Great picks.

I saw Aja Kong when she came to Chicago a few years back (she was a surprise participant in an 8-person tag, and everyone lost their minds), and she could still go. One of the more imposing figures I’ve in person - wrestler or otherwise.

Before the draft started I considered making a tag team or pairing out of Walter and Alex Wright, a sort of updated Teutonic Shawn Michaels and Diesel pairing. I dropped that when Wright was gone.

I've seen a little of her stuff. I needed one of Aja Kong, Bull Nakano or Awesome Kong for my card. I still need another woman but it really doesn't matter who it is, the key piece was a brute.
