Wrestling draft 2015 - Page 6 - Wrestling -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Yeah, Hogan prints cash for you for nearly 20 years. Waaaay longer than Austin does. Granted, Austin has a bunch of years of awesomeness before that peak too, but you'd better come up with a plan to keep the company afloat with someone else for a good while if you want to use the Stunning Steve years.

Think flair should be in the discussion for number 1 and 2. He isn't given enough credit

How does the spreadsheet work, are we able to add our own picks or will someone do them all?

I'm shocked he went in the top 3. But who am I to talk after taking him #1 my only time being #1

. Regretted it so bad.

This. i would have taken him at #1, #2, or #3. I would rather have a guy that can go for 300 days a year

Meh, not as far as business goes. He carried a company that was second fiddle financially. Certainly he's plenty valuable, but with Hogan you're talking about a guy who carried WWF to the next level and then kept his peak earning power going for an absurdly long time, and with Austin you're talking about a guy who put the WWF on his back and carried it to a huge comeback win in the Monday Night Wars during a historic boom period.

Flair just can't compete with that where drawing power is concerned. Obviously I'm a huge fan, but still.

I'd have snap taken Flair at #3 but no way would I take him ahead of Hogan or Austin.

As for Austin's longevity, I don't think it's that much of an issue. He's gonna make you so much money during those 6/7 years and I'm sure WWE are still making plenty of money off him today. It could even be argued that he's the reason they're still in business.

This is true, but he had a solid 4-5 years after his win at Starrcade 83.

It's set to private at the moment. I'll make it available for every one to edit once I've made a backup, probably tomorrow.

He was already awesome as Stone Cold in late '96, although yeah I concede he probably wasn't making them too much money at this time. I also think an argument could be made that he could have been bigger before he was Stone Cold with better booking.

So he's going to have Hogan be his Intercontinental Champ? Seems bold but I like it.
