This guy went on a streak where he fought the same guy every single night on the road and every single week on tv, sandbagged pretty awfully on a gut wrench powerbomb suplex thingy and just overall makes me wanna change the channel whenever I hear his music. **** this guy
How has he not been picked yet? Couldn't wrestle a lick, yet somehow managed to get a year-plus Intercontinental Title run. We'll of course take him in his later, fatter years -- hey, he really was just like Elvis.
With our second pick, we'll go with a old standby of consistent sub-mediocrity:
At least he was related to Eddie somehow and thus kept his job all those years. And yes, he will be required to use the theme song as posted, and dress up as the Swagger Soaring Eagle for all his matches, even though Swagger will be nowhere near our federation.
Plus, we know he'll work terribly with Sin Cara -- though, of course, everyone works terribly with Sin Cara, so maybe we shouldn't hold that against him.
For our third pick, we'll take a part of one of the greatest tag teams of all time (sort of):
Vince Russo: "Hey, let's take a skinny white dude and make him part of the Dudleys! What a great idea!"
Everyone else in the room: ........
Vince Russo: "Okay, great, make it happen boys!"
And with our last pick, we've offended the sensibilities of women, midgets, various racial groups (thanks, midgets)... may as well add another group to the list:
Hey, why not have a one-legged wrestler? It'll be hilarious! No prosthetic devices allowed in the ring of course -- but at least our group will get a lot of practice in single-leg takedowns! Get it? Hahahahaha!!!!111!!!!!!!1!!!!! Of course, when Lord Littlebrook schools him and takes him down in a one-on-one matchup, it'll be a reminder that pro wrestling is a rough business.
Chavo is already off the board, he was picked as Kerwin White. Pick another when you get the chance. It's past 11, so I'll post my own picks in a moment as well.
TL Hopper, the wrestling plumber, was one of the most embarrassingly stupid gimmicks the WWF trotted out during an era where they trotted out a LOT of bad ones.
With the 180th pick, I select a man who was half of one of the great all-time tag teams, and who sired a very hot daughter to boot.
Spoiler:
But not under his normal name.
Spoiler:
Under this gimmick, he didn't get any music.
Spoiler:
In fact, his stupid ****ing name makes it impossible for me to even find a picture of him.
Spoiler:
I'm taking Jim Neidhart. But not as The Anvil. I'm taking him as Who? He was put in this degrading jobber gimmick where he wore a mask and his matches consisted entirely of Vince McMahon and broadcast partner of the week making corny Abbott and Costello jokes. It was ******ed.
The amazing thing is that I actually stumbled across a YouTube where Who? teamed with TL Hopper. WTF.

Reason: Added bonus: Lawler opens up the YouTube clip by making "Jake Roberts is a huge drunk" jokes. Then Backlund is awesome.

Bah, missed that.
I threatened to do it earlier, and now I'm making it official. Our lead announcer will be:
Joe Buck
Can't you hear the epic announcing now? Turn off the sound for these and just let your imagination run wild.
Yeah I mean the Kim K thing was a huge stretch but I guess people who have guest starred on Raw can be selected (and preferably scorned as terrible picks by the rest of us). If Joe Buck has never appeared on wrestling I don't see allowing this pick.

Reason: To be honest we should have probably disallowed the Kardashian pick too.
Actually WTF, did you pick last round Wesr? It says you're skipped. Everyone sucks and keeps going on auto-skip. That means it was Dylan's deadline and it has passed. Wesr, pick four times. Dylan, pick twice. RickRolled is on auto-skip and owes four picks. Action is on IRM.

Reason: And yes, I have generally been good about PMing the person after me and even doing bonus PMs when it wasn't on me to do so.
