Wrestling Dynasty Draft Reboot - Official Draft Thread

[Dylan]

I'm torn between three guys for my next pick. Hopefully teejayC makes it a little easier for me.

[wesrwood]

NOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was going to take him round 3. No clue which way Im going with my next pick

[LKJ]

Cult of Personality definitely caught me off-guard.

[Dylan]

God Punk wasn't one of the 3! I should have my pick up in a few.

I realise that my company is starting to look worryingly similar to current day WWE, but I plan to address that in future rounds. Punk is world class both in the ring and on the mic, and works great as both a face and a heel. He overtook John Cena in merchandise sales at the end of last year and has the potential to be the 'face of the WWE' for years to come.

Roster:
John Cena
CM Punk

Well he's not questionable at drawing. He's poor. 1996 was a bunch of great matches with money swirling the drain in the meantime. I think Bret is a better draw than Shawn, because at least he has a region where he's massive even if he's a meh draw everywhere else.

And I would certainly call Angle significantly better on the mic than HBK. I don't think that's close at all. I would call Taker and Bret better talkers as well, but by thinner margins.

HBK can make a valid argument against truly anyone in the ring, which makes him tough to assess because he's one-dimensional but he's amazing in that one dimension and it's one of the big ones to be great at.

Honestly, to me there's a clear best choice available.

Sting is a guy like the Undertaker who can main event without the belt. He has great longevity, solid mic and ring work, a huge draw, and can work with a variety of people. I don't plan on him and Rock crossing paths a lot, but I like the idea of having two guys who can carry a company by themselves.

Dylan's Roster:

Spoiler:

The Rock
Sting

I'm assuming there's no need for me to PM Judy.

[LKJ]

Sting is a good pick. Not who I would have taken, but certainly high on the list.

Well then the other guys taken at 6-7 and 10-11 are poor also. 1996 sucked money wise because WWF writing had been both absolutely terrible and highly outdated for a long time until the guard changed. Shawn has been in the main event of several of the best selling PPVs of all time; by my count, out of the top 15, he was in a main event at 6 of them.
