Wrestling Dynasty Draft Reboot - Official Draft Thread - Page 6

Well he's not questionable at drawing. He's poor. 1996 was a bunch of great matches with money swirling the drain in the meantime. I think Bret is a better draw than Shawn, because at least he has a region where he's massive even if he's a meh draw everywhere else.

And I would certainly call Angle significantly better on the mic than HBK. I don't think that's close at all. I would call Taker and Bret better talkers as well, but by thinner margins.

HBK can make a valid argument against truly anyone in the ring, which makes him tough to assess because he's one-dimensional but he's amazing in that one dimension and it's one of the big ones to be great at.

Honestly, to me there's a clear best choice available.

I'm assuming there's no need for me to PM Judy.

Sting is a good pick. Not who I would have taken, but certainly high on the list.

Well then the other guys taken at 6-7 and 10-11 are poor also. 1996 sucked money wise because WWF writing had been both absolutely terrible and highly outdated for a long time until the guard changed. Shawn has been in the main event of several of the best selling PPVs of all time; by my count, out of the top 15, he was in a main event at 6 of them.

Sting was one of my two making my pick easy

Andre will draw. He was a constant main eventer for decades and I can recreate one of the highest drawing matches ever. He can main event as face or heel. Ill need a mouth piece for him but thats fine

Roster
Hulk Hogan
Andre the Giant

Especially considering fit, Andre is a great pick there.

Thanks. Thought Id get Punk round 3 maybe. Was drooling at getting to write promos where Punk goes off on Hogan

Think we should do 4 hour clocks instead of 6?

I think we'll be fine. We have a set of fast drafters.

HHH is the one I was talking about that has been IMO the best player available for the last few picks.

To be fair, Judy was absolutely right to take Andre instead. I can't even conceive of a locker room with both Hogan and HHH in it.

On one hand, I can't argue with HHH there (although I think 'fantastic' is generous for his in ring work). On the other hand, I basically have had him on a "do not draft list" for these things because I wouldn't know how to work around all his negatives.
