Build the Best Wrestling Company for 2017 Draft - Page 12 - Wrestling -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Are there any versions of Stone Cold or The Rock left? (Not including anything before those gimmicks). I'd assume not but I assumed that last time and another version of Rock got taken since then.

Heel Stone Cold post WM 17, and Corporate Rock are both left.

I don't really see how "Hollywood Rock" is different enough from "2002 Rock" yet there's only one version of Stone Cold but that's cool, will make my pick very shortly.

Edit - this was to DWetzel, have just seen Dylan's post.

Answered above but I consider The Game the 2000-2013 version and The Authority the 2013-present version. So I'm taking The Game

Yeah that's fine, that post was made under the assumption that no more Austin was available, I assumed DWetzel had PMed you or something but looks like he was just guessing.

I guess I'll take steal of the draft number 2.

The most over wrestler of all time ? Possibly

The guy who brought wrestling to the main stream? Defintely

I take Hulk Hogan

I don't think he would lose too much to the transition of 2017

And if his Japanese matches are any indication he can actually throw together a match .

Sounds like a creative issue. I can also team them up. And of course they will be putting people over in my promotion . Brock might destroy them both at some point

Triple H was a great pick btw. I feel like he usually goes before this, and he should actually be more valuable here in comparison to some of the guys who usually go before him.

Like the HHH pick.

I don't see how Hogan gets over in 2017 at all.

Well, I'm not sure how far the gimmick will get over in 2017, but I think I have to take a chance that it will. If nothing else we're going to have some kick ass workrate in my main event matches, and that has to count for a lot, right?

I feel like Savage's mic skills and ring work would be enough for him to get over, even if his look is silly by 2017 standards.

Macho man has a much better chance at getting over in 2017 than Hogan

He'll get a load of boos Cena style and certainly loses some value in this format (which is why I took Hollywood at #9 instead). but dude still has tons of charisma and a great look, plus kids and the unwashed masses will cheer for whoever you tell them to for the most part. Hulkamania would still run wild imo, just not quite as much.

This is a very hot take but I very much agree with it.

Think Warrior, Savage, and quite a few others from that era>Hogan for this. I wouldn't have taken him at either of the wraps if he was there.

Which isn't to say it's a bad pick necessarily, this is the most subjective draft this subforum has ever done by far.
