Gonna take Eddie Guerrero

Having flair and Jericho helps offset his longevity concerns and he's a guy who checks all the boxes I'm looking for at this stage - he can work as a heel or a face, can work as a midcarder with lower weight classes or in the main event, and has periods of being super over with the fans. Also know he has awesome chemistry with Jericho so that's nice too.

Flair
Jericho
Guerrero

I'll pick Vince McMahon. After drafting Austin and Bryan in the first two rounds, my company really needed a heel. I didn't love any of the heel wrestlers remaining as a third round pick, so I grabbed Vince. Vince will serve as the authority figure who is always trying to hold Austin and Bryan down. I plan to draft several heels that Vince will use to do his bidding. He will also likely be used to do some announcing.

The 5 star match rating system popularized by Meltzer and devised by undrafted and Norm Dooley actually initially was a 4 star rating system like for movies. But Dooley and undrafted saw a Terry Funk match that was so good they gave it 5 stars. That match took place in the 70s though and isn't included in the draft.

Eddie Guerrero is helped by the rule change from "over as they actually were" to "can argue that they would be more over if used better" and I almost took him.

Well if it makes you feel better I probably would've taken edge over him

My next two picks were great heels who were super over as a face before his wwe time

Ironically hogan held them back from being WWF champions.

Ted dibiase and
Curt henning

Had a really tough time choosing between Roberts and DiBiase; I think Roberts fits what I needed a little better though.

At some point I have to go back and look at Edge's career start-to-finish; I never have him ranked as high as he gets drafted. I basically missed his whole career though and are mostly basing that off the early bias I had of him. There's about a half dozen of those guys though.

I'm really tempted again to try to move up to get someone I really like.

Love Judys picks so far. Dibiase and Perfect are so versatile from a booking perspective, they can play pretty much any role from the midcard to the main event. Both fit well in tag teams and stables as well.

There's a guy I really want but not sure when to take him. He also fits in perfectly with my roster but he is greatly underrated by everyone here

Sources indicate that Curt Hennig is unhappy with where he was selected, and would like to be traded to an owner who knows how to spell his last name.

You were obviously on a life path to do that anyway.

Kurt was isolated's second choice after Funk. I considered both him and DiBiase but GOATberg GOAT.

Since Curt Henning and Kurt Henning are taken, does that mean Mr. Perfect is still available?

Also, I've got my heart set on someone at this point and the anticipation of wondering if they get back to me is kind of exhilarating.

While we're on the subject of getting names wrong, I used to think Ted DiBiase was called Teddy Biase.

I used to think that the Johnny Rivers song was called "Secret Asian Man."
