What show was Undertaker a huge draw for? In what timeframe was he the main guy drawing big gates?

Also, way to go grabbing a version of the Undertaker that was completely unable to have a decent match. Find me one good Ministry Taker match and I'll take that back.

I disagree with Taker not being a big draw. While he was never the "top guy" he was a pretty big draw for his whole career. As for Ministry Taker never having a good match, I can't really argue with that. However I've always felt character and story lines were what really draws, and no one is better at that than Taker. I think my pick will make sense after my next few picks.

Derwipok's clock runs out in approximately 30 minutes. Vik will be back on the clock.

Derwi is skipped. I shot vik a PM. I should be awake to draft for another hour or two if it gets back to me.

Great draft to follow. A little surprised at the Brock and Y2J picks. Flair over Hogan at 1 is not great.

Flair wasn't in my top 10 tbh. Taker is meh and Jericho is probably close to equal in this format.

Rock falling as far as he did is awful. Someone argue in favor of any pick that's not Hogan, Austin, or Flair over Rock.

My next pick is a household name and truly one of the all time greats:

Love Macho obviously. I like this pick better than Jericho by a decent bit. Still not a huge draw but Savage is one of the ultimate household names that even non-wrestling fans had awareness of.

I think the amount of people to pair up with Rock is less than the amount of people to pair up with both HBK and Taker.

im happy you took Macho Man, vik. wasn't sure what i would do if he were available. i think he's better than Punk in a vacuum but not sure if he's the right match with Cena.

I was heavily considering taking punk, but wanted to get some big time name value in. Definitely agree punk goes better with cena for you too. Was heavily debating one other person other than Savage, I will be surprised if he doesn't go in the next pick.

Should we just drop Derwipok from the draft? If he gets skipped a couple more times it might be a deathblow

Meh I'll let him stay in. He's undoubtedly starting out behind the curve with going last and getting skipped, but if he wants to play catch-up then I'll give him the chance. If it gets back to him and he hasn't caught up then I'll drop him.
