A fine choice, was looking at that one.

With my 3rd round pick, I get massive value for the history factor, for the "moment" factor.

Spoiler:


This link takes you right to the segment:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iosV1P--OMM#t=05m05s

Andre the Giant coming onto Piper's Pit with Bobby Heenan and challenging Hogan to a world title match was a moment that went down in history and forever elevated the WWF's standing. WrestleMania I and II were moderate successes, but WrestleMania III was when the ball really got rolling in a major way, and this was the segment that gave rise to that. Legends all across the screen (Piper, Heenan, Jesse) combine with Hogan and Andre for an awesome segment that was sold brilliantly and resonates more than two decades later.


Spoiler:
My draft:
Dusty Rhodes - Hard Times
Mankind interview with JR
Andre confronts Hogan on Piper's Pit

I didn't remember this one. Very enjoyable listen. Nice pick.

I presume DW requires no PM since he posted right before me.

I've seen the Hogan/Andre build a bunch in recent weeks. The only thing that stopped me from grabbing it is the piss poor acting by Hogan. This alone should've been enough to convince Vince to not finance any movies starring Hulk.

OK, I'm pretty sure TN and I are agreed on this promo. Some promos make you feel good, some promos make you want to hate. Very very few make you feel a little sick inside. This one does.

Great pick obviously, DW. On merits alone, that should have been a first round pick. In the running for being my favorite heel promo ever.

I have a Burdz pick that was his original top choice way long ago when he selected, but then he picked something else entirely. Stands to reason this would certainly be his top choice now, but I should probably give him time to make his own pick since he already changed his mind after sending this earlier.

yeah, we're 2 1/2 rounds into a draft that started 9 hours ago or so; I think we can let it go for the night if we have to.

+1. I remembered it upon watching it, but it had totally slipped off my radar. Pretty great.

For what it's worth, I take back my criticism of the "This is your Life" segment. It was still a really fun watch. Mankind and Rock were the perfect comedy duo at least as far as wrestling is concerned.

Gonna let myself get sniped on that pick I sent LKJ again, just can't pass up another awesome ECW-alum promo, the best ECW promo ever:

Spoiler:


Cane Dewey

There's a reason why people say "that's his Cane Dewey". One of Mick's most personal promos, truly sickening. If he had cut this promo in WWE, it'd be a top 3 pick no doubt.

Draft list:

Paul Heyman "WWF: The Shoot"
CM Punk "Happy Birthday"
Mick Foley "Cane Dewey"

That's a pretty great pick really. I liked Dylan's Cactus pick but this is the better promo IMO.

I'm assuming everyone is asleep so gonna take some time and look at stuff, but if you're around DarO let me know and I'll get a pick up ASAP.

I thought about taking the Hogan/Andre one last pick but didn't wanna Hogan it up two picks in a row. The Piper/Snuka one is a great pick.

Ok I'm pretty sure I know which two I want, just got to decide on the order.

I don't think This is Your Life was a facemelter btw.

Some of you probably won't like this pick. This next promo doesn't feature any cutting edge mic work. It isn't funny, it doesn't advance any story lines. Hell, it doesn't even take place inside of kayfabe (sorry LKJ). Sometimes you have to just forget about the act and pay respect to the legendary men that put their bodies and lives on the line almost every night for multiple decades for our entertainment. And they don't get any more legendary than this guy.


Spoiler:





I teared up when I first watched this and I'm not ashamed to admit it. By the time this draft is over I imagine everyone will have their fair share of entertaining and historically important promos. However, if you want to see this emotional and fitting tribute to the greatest worker this business has ever seen, you'll have to come over to my house and watch my collection.


Spoiler:
Team:
Hogan heel turn
Jericho WWF debut featuring The Rock
Ric Flair retirement

The important thing is that he kept his word about not ever wrestling again.

So many funny UNDRAFTED promos to come, interesting to see which order they'll be taken.

I'm disappointed to see that so far I'm the only person to have drafted a promo featuring Kevin Nash. Oh well, at least someone's making draft fun again!
