As for Pharroah - isn't it once skipped, always skipped until you get back in?

With my third round pick, I choose:



vs





Spoiler:


The Rock vs Hollywood Hulk Hogan, WrestleMania XVIII, 15:23

My card:

Undertaker vs HBK, Streak vs Career, WrestleMania XXVI, 24:04
TLC 2, WrestleMania X7, 15:53

Two questions. If someone does a run in we ruled they are ineligible to be picked again? So whoever has Taker- HBK cell cant use Kane?

Also anyone know a good website to find running times for matches? I have a match I almost certaintly cant find video of

Run-in does not rule someone ineligible.

I'm really glad someone took Rock/Hogan. I would've been pretty irritated if I had to use that as my main event again.

Rock/Hogan was the match I was talking about earlier. It's such sick value at this point, awesome pick Ginger.

I could have take Rock / Hogan as my #1 pick at #8 overall and not felt bad about it, and not got flamed for it. Really nice value in the 3rd.

I dug up the old Wrestling Observer that talks about the Andre/Hogan Main Event match because I remembered that it was considered genius at the time. Dave basically explains why. They finally found a way to get the belt off Hogan, and did so without sacrificing the future, and did so in a way that was so shocking that the fans didn't riot (which had long been a concern about taking the belt off Hogan). Dave says that it seems like they thought of everything, and that whomever came up with the finish should get a nice paycheck.

Is LordCC skipped, can trevorwc pick?

Unfortunately the way this one worked out is that the six hours made it just past the start of the dead zone, which begins at 11 p.m. EST. LordCC wouldn't be skipped until 7:36 a.m. He's a Brit (I think) so I would expect a pick to hopefully go up in what is the middle of the night to the rest of us.

Yup, whenever you're skipped you can play catch-up absolutely whenever you come back.

With my 2nd choice I pick


vs



Spoiler:
Samoa Joe vs. Kenta Kobashi
21:35


http://youtu.be/TjvCtjUp5sI

Now, I'm not too familiar with Kobashis work in Japan, but I know he is regarded as a legend. The crowd for this match was unbelievable and many regarded this as a dream match. I thought this match all sets the tone for my card to showcase what wrestling is all about. Great physical action that tells a story.


With my 3rd pick, I select a personal favorite of mine with



vs.



Spoiler:
Rob Van Dam vs. Jerry Lynn
ECW TV Title
Living Dangerously 99
22:18


I'm an ECW fan through and through, and this is one of my favroite ECW matches of all time. IMO, the ECW TV championship is the most prestigous title that they had and that was thanks to Rob Van Dam and matches like this one.

My card so far

Ric Flair vs. Terry Funk I Quit
Kenta Kobashi vs. Samoa Joe
ECW TV title RVD vs Jerry Lynn

Absolutely loved Kenta Kobashi vs. Samoa Joe and that crowd was electric.

If you are into hot crowds the Joe v. Kobashi match is a must see. It's small but intense. It's sort of like, some band that is huge in Japan but has only a small but rabid cult following here is playing with a top indy band.

Hot crowds can make a match. And to be honest, no crowed is hotter than an ECW crowd, and I really don't think RVD/Lynn feud gets enough credit. Imo they influenced a lot of the "x division" style per se with there battles.

Nice picks.

With the exception of the Undertaker, when was the last time you saw a 290 pounder tope over the top rope? Or springboard clothesline of the top rope onto someone in the crowd? For my 3rd pick I'm going for a match that had my jaw on the floor the first time I saw it but is completely different than the other two matches on my card.

My 3rd pick;



Spoiler:
Mike Awesome vs Masato Tanaka- ECW Title Match (November to Remember '99) (12:30)

This match is very hard hitting and I'm sure those of you who have seen One Night Stand will have some idea what to expect, this is the best US match between these two and is even better than ONS as both were closer to their primes and don't use as many chairshots to cover the step that they had both by 2005. Mike Awesome's agility for a big man was amazing to me as a teenager and it still is now, these two do everything they can to take the other out of commission and walk away with the title.

God damn it, another match I was going to pick. When I first read your intro I knoew what it was going to do. I like where this draft is going. We might as well have called it the best non-wwe matches of all time.
