Pick #45:



Spoiler:

Gorgeous George

Gorgeous George was not just the biggest wrestling star, but the biggest star in television during the 1940s and 1950s. He was a true innovator of the sport and created the "bleached blonde arrogant villain" character that greats such as Buddy Rogers and Ric Flair have gone on to imitate. George's influence spreads beyond wrestling though, with Mohammed Ali and James Brown being amongst the people who have claimed to have been influenced by him. Thousands of fans used to go to arenas to see George lose while millions more tuned in at home; it may well have been a case of "right place, right time", but according to the rules of the draft it carries over. It might be considered a reach but like Judy I've decided to just pick the guy I want the most rather than spend too much time considering value.


Spoiler:
Roster:
John Cena
CM Punk
Vince McMahon
Lou Thesz
Vader

Alright sorry for the delay. Second day in a row my spot came up during my commute, and then my planned pick went out the window so I had to make an excruciating decision that I'm not really at peace with.

But whatever, I'm doing it. I select:



Spoiler:


My personal favorite heel ever, Jake "The Snake" Roberts. While Kurt Angle is great at arrogant/whiny and Piper is great at brash son of a bitch, Jake shores things up by being the absolutely GOAT heel in terms of playing pure evil. The longevity isn't great, but I love everything else about this pick.


Spoiler:
Roster:
Undertaker
Kurt Angle
Dusty Rhodes
Bruno Sammartino
Roddy Piper
Jake "The Snake" Roberts

Also weighing in on my pick was the chance to write that heel alliance of Taker and Jake. While turning Taker face worked out brilliantly, I just wish we could have gotten another year of Taker and Jake as the unholy alliance. In my fed, they'll get that chance.

Kept talking myself out of Jake. He is great value though

really not a big jake fan, though there's no denying his ability to be a mega heel. i just cant get behind a lifelong midcarder this early in the draft (although the same could be said for 95% of eddie guerreros career and i liked that pick)

Pleased to see I got a snipe in there with George. He was on my 'must draft' list but I thought about leaving it another round.

To be honest ive never been a huge fan, but i need a mega over face and i believe this guy would fit really well within my organization considering how many guys i have that could carry him in a match:

Judy and I have agreed to a trade.

He gets my round 7 pick, my round 11 pick and CM Punk. I get his round 7 pick, his round 15 pick and Andre The Giant.

Damn thought moving up 2 spots would solidify me getting Goldberg

I would have taken Andre over Punk but I was greedy and took a risk at getting both. I don't mind losing a little bit of value to rectify my mistake.

It's not at all difficult to make him a credible main event guy. I picked him in my first draft and made him my first world champion; it didn't feel like a stretch at all.

I mean in terms of kayfabe accomplishments, you can say that Hennig and Rude outpaced Jake due to IC title reigns, but Jake was every bit on their level in terms of profile. DiBiase never held a singles title despite appearing in a couple of main events in his career. I don't think he's any more of a "career midcarder" than those guys. Granted I would have at least Hennig and DiBiase higher on my list, but I think the profile is similar. And I prefer Jake to Rude, though I do love Rude.
