They can draft anyone who's worked in wrestling. Just because someone is a celebrity doesn't mean they'll be a big wrestling draw, The Rock is a different situation than drafting Jay Leno and saying he'll be a big draw.

Hulk hogan was a heel in Japan so that should qualify as a separate gimmick

HERE COMES THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEY.

Spoiler:
No, not him.


Spoiler:


"The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase

You know what is a really hot button issue and gets people pretty riled up in America in 2017? Income inequality and those GOD DAMN WEALTHY ELITES.

While I'm concerned slightly with the tacky suit (I think the belt still looks fine for whatever reason), there's no chance this gimmick doesn't get massive heel heat in 2017. I'll just have him play off the suit a him being rich and aloof so he can do whatever the **** and looks as tacky as he wants. Inring and mic work way more than passable.

Give me a second for pick two as I was going DiBiase/Roberts most likely. If we're allowed to trade picks and anyone has someone they really don't want to get sniped from them right now I'll listen to offers. Will have something up within the hour regardless.

DiBiase was near the top of my list, may have taken him next. Great pick, character would hold up perfectly imo and he was decent enough in the ring.

By the way there was a point during Austin's heel run where he briefly turned face and got the biggest pop ever. I assume I can do this?

Meh I'll just go ahead and take this guy since he was pretty much my favorite as a kid and I think he's fine here.

Spoiler:


Mr. Perfect

Looks isn't too terribly dated outside the LOL hair. Absolute elite heel on the mic and his ring work speaks for itself. Some of the GOAT vignettes that I think would still play well to day plus a timeless entrance theme.

For some reason the youtube vid keeps giving me a video playback error when try to embed.

Damn 90s sweaters were sick.

Roster so far:

"Yabba Dabba" Rock
"The Natureboy" Ric Flair
"The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase
Mr. Perfect

Idk what to offer but I'm interested in both guys so if you think of something for one or both let me know

If we were allowed to modernize looks in this I wouldn't blink if DiBiase went top 10 and think he'd prolly be around 5-8 for me. Pretty thrilled he fell to me as he was one on my board once other Brock was taken.

Was hoping Mr Perfect would somehow slip through the cracks to me.

great response

Based on my past trade dealings with wesrwood I'm gonna predict that you guys don't come to an agreement.

I never make the first offer in anything like this or fantasy sports if someone wants one of my guys I'm not looking to actively move. If anyone is interested in either DiBiase or Perfect make the first offer and if we're somewhere close I will counter and if we're not close I'll just say we're not close and save us both time.

I may be out for a bit; who wants to take my pick (if Burdz takes it I'll be very surprised)

I'm here. Can just send two picks in case burdz snipes you as I don't have a pick for a long time.

sent; as you can probably see I really doubt I'll need more than the one.

Hurry up, Burdz. Now I'm really interested in what DWetz picked.

Disappointed. Was hoping for an absolutely atrocious pick. That is merely one I wouldn't have made myself.

I forgot to say earlier but I loved the Vader pick. I really wanted to take him with my second pick but figured I needed a face.
