I'll take Tanahashi then.

Can I have Okada and Tanahashi team up if they've never teamed up before? I think it'd be a dream tag team that would be a huge draw against ???

Roster: Hogan, Vader, Cactus, Regal, Rey, Batista, Lawler, Okada, Tanahashi

Spoiler:


Dean Malenko is a good moving piece for me, a guy who can work a really strong cruiserweight singles match but who I ultimately might choose to team with Chris Benoit against the Midnight Express for my tag team title match.

Got my card:
Main event
Tag title match: Hogan/Rey (c) vs Okada/Tanahashi
Rey does all the work, tags Hogan, and Hogan gets the credit!

World title match: Batista vs Vader (c)
Can't make this the main event because it's not a happy ending as 93 Vader beats 2005 megaface Batista

Street fight:
IC belt: Cactus vs Lawler vs Regal (c)

My next pick:



Magnum TA

He typically slips a bit in these drafts due to longevity issues but I can't resist taking him here in this format. A mega-over babyface and draw, I'm leaning toward matching him up with heel Rude and tweener Jake in a triple-threat for my secondary title.


Card so far:

[WM 31] Brock Lesnar (c) vs. [Starrcade '97] Sting (World Title Match)

[WM1] Rowdy Roddy Piper vs. [NXT] Finn Balor

also featuring:

Jake Roberts
Rick Rude
The Fabulous Freebirds
Brian Pillman
Magnum TA

Starrcade '97 Sting put on the biggest stinker ever in that main event. Lesnar >>> Hogan in the ring obviously, but still.

yeah i'm kinda thinking hogan was to blame for that although i might still go with surfer dude era sting (vader feud?) in the end to avoid any potential in-ring doubts. my vision with the above is lesnar running roughshod over the company and crow sting comes to the rescue after a year of anticipation. basically replacing nWo with lesnar and heyman.

i'm kinda all over the place with my card though as i only have two set matches. regret taking pillman very much even though im high on the guy. i'll get a damn good cruiserweight title match out of him though if i end up going that route.

Sting didn't have a good match after his Vader series from 92-94 and before that his only good singles match was with Flair. He was never a good worker. Gotta take the heat off of my #1 guy!

Now that Im home from vacation in NJ, I guess I will start building my card.

World Championship
Superstar Billy Graham (c) vs. Dusty Rhodes

North American Championship
Bruiser Brody (c) vs. Barry Windham

Western States Heritage Championship
Shinsuke Nakamura (c)vs. X-Pac

World Tag Team Championship
The Road Warriors (c) vs. The Brainbusters


Im not exactly thrilled that I have two matches that were already done in the real world, but I like my card so far and have some idea for which way to go from here.

Sting against DDP in 99 on Nitro was a heck of a match. Personally I love Sting's in ring work in the late 80s and early 90s but it is kind of hard to put Sting any time other than late 90s because he was a much bigger draw during those years than the rest of his career.
