Just for thread readability purposes, if people could at least put their picks in bold or something with a little mini write-up it would help with any confusion
+1 to this. Write-ups are important, but if you're on your phone or something and can't post a detailed one, at least write your pick's name in bold.
The Conqueror. The Beast. The one and only Brock Lesnar. Brock Lesnar is the perfect wrestler to be the face of a company in 2017, for one reason in particular. He's believable. Fans in 2017 know more about the business than at any time in history. They know that it's fake. They know that the matches are predetermined. Yet with Brock Lesnar, it still feels real. And why shouldn't it? He is the former UFC Heavyweight Champion of the World. When Brock Lesnar is in a match, his opponents look like they are in serious pain, and it's because they likely are. Wrestling is not cool in 2017. It's not like in 1998 when it was the thing everyone watched and talked about. Today in the mainstream wrestling is looked down upon. People are often made fun of for being wrestling fans. No one is made fun of for being a Brock Lesnar fan. His biggest drawback is that he is not a full time wrestler, well that's not an issue in this scenario. Brock Lesnar will be on my show each and every week suplexing people all across the ring. The only problem I might have is finding people believable enough for him to face.
I'll take The Rock. You can just see by the reactions he gets today that he would draw all of the dimes.
Not hating on the pick since it seems fine, but the reasoning is totally wrong. People give "you've still got it" chants to <undrafted, sorry> for successfully punching someone a few times. I assume for purposes of this draft that the person actually has to get over from scratch and doesn't just get the built-in nostalgia to start off.
I mean maybe I'm wrong but I'd say late 90s wrestling was awesome because of Stone Cold (and others) not vice versa. It's not like wrestling was just cool and he was a beneficiary of that; he made it cool. Obviously booking played a part too but I take it we don't have to use the 2017 WWE booking team.
Sorry guys i need to out. For some reason my pw reset isnt working on phone and i 99% phone post. Thankfully im last pick so shouldnt be a big deal just dropping me. Really sory about that
I mainly just lurk this forum and only watch PPVs or segments from the weekly shows I hear/read are good lately but I'll hop in for disko if you guys want.
One of the greatest in ring workers of all time who can wrestle anyone, in any match and make it a classic. He has enough edge and spunk to get over in 2017 and could play a great baby face or heel.
Ok cool. And he's already over when you get him right because of his previous run and UFC career? Like they still existed? Sorry for all the questions, I think that's it.
