Yeah Hollywood Rock is the heel Rock from 2003. The highest grossing actor in the world Rock is from 2012- present day. I'm guessing you want the more recent one?

Write-up clearly refers to "Twice in a Lifetime" Rock.

EDIT: and is a complete facemelter imo.

Updated to YABBA DABBA Rock since I like the way it sounds anyway.
Cool. Great pick imo.

Round 2, Pick 1 (14 Overall)

Spoiler:
"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair




Not really much to say here since everyone knows Flair's MO and I find the gimmick, along with the mic work and ring work, to be absolutely timeless and pretty easy to get over in the modern (or any for that matter) era. Does anyone chop or take chops these days anywhere close to my boy Ric?

Fwiw I asked Dylan if their were two Flairs (Just The Natureboy or Drunk Old Man) or four Flairs (early/territories Flair, WCW/4H Flair, WWE Flair, and Drunk Old Man) and he said two which pretty much made my mind up for me. Not sure if this is where I would have went if he said four tbh.

I think the fit of any version of Rock after he got over and Flair is pretty awesome and gives me a lot of options moving forward as well. Since the version of The Rock I got is pretty ****ty for all things wrestling related I wanted to grab someone who is elite at all that stuff to pair with him. Flair will do just fine.

I am pretty sure my favorite thing of this draft is going to be the names we come up with for each gimmick.

I could just imagine the promos prime Flair and Yabba Dabba Rock would have together. It would be amazing.

2nd Round pick



Spoiler:


Kurt Angle - 1999-2006

Don't care if it's a reach, he's a guarantee to put on great matches, can work face or heel, and gets to face Undertaker (potentially) at UT's peak performance-wise. Oh it's true, it's damn true.

Damn I was hoping Angle would somehow fall to me. I loved the Angle/Brock feud.

I'm kinda heartbroken, and as such may end up spewing. Oh well.

Spoiler:


Bret "The Best Hitman There Is" Hart, WWF edition

I think he and Jericho can put some amazing matches together, and this guy's good enough to mostly get out of Jericho's way on the microphone -- and hey, modern audiences love to cheer their heels anyway so it works.


Team:

Chris "Y2J" Jericho
Bret Hart

Hart is another case (where like HBK) I feel like his value is hurt in this as he doesn't come in over and has to get there and the look just isn't gonna do well in 2017. Hard to see him going outside the first three rounds regardless tho.

Flair is steal of the draft. That's who I was gonna take if it was ruled that I had to build up Hollywood Hogan from scratch.

Ok I think I'm gonna take

Brock Lesnar

He came in as a legit tough guy even without being a UFC fighter .

He was super over right away .

Cena vs Lesnar will draw as we already know

Judy got very nice value on SuperCena.

Yeah I think both Lesnars could've easily went in the first. A guy that size/look with that athletic talent is always getting super over.
