Shawn Michaels here is fine; we've clearly dropped a big tier in drawing power from Cena to HBK, and it's tougher to build a company around HBK, but this being a fantasy draft and all...it's definitely more fun to fantasy book a Michaels company outside of having to occasionally write around his political bull**** in the first part of his career.
I agree. I was willing to trade up for Rock because he was a clear tier 1 guy and there's a huge drop to tier 2/3, but it probably will be more fun to draft starting with a non tier-1 guy. Then again, the term "tier" really has no set meaning in this format since parameters were kept extremely broad.
Tier 1 I think was clearly Austin/Hogan/Rock/Cena. Tier 2 is Flair/HBK and maybe 2 other undrafted guys. Tier 3 is where I think it starts getting open to interpretation and the fun of this draft really begins. There are guys I might take in tier 3 who you might have in like tier 15 and vice versa, and I wouldn't argue with any of them. I don't think you can say that about the 1st 6 guys who went.
