As for Austin, he never had that much success as a heel, whereas it totally revitalized Hogan's career. That imo is the big difference between them.
The point with The Rock though is that the very fact that he didn't have longevity is because his peak was so much higher than Hogan's. It's like trying not to take a guy in a college football draft because he skipped his senior year to go to the NFL. Yeah, you might get less time with him but he was obviously the best while he was there.

Also, while I know this technically isn't supposed to be considered, there's no way that The Rock can get popular enough to leave unless he's in a huge national fed. So basically, your federation will have succeeded against all the other feds and bought them out if this even becomes an issue in which case he's a great pick. If he doesn't single-handedly take your fed to the top, you should get to keep him into his 40s.

Yeah, when I picked Rock over Hogan it was because I value talent more than anything else in this. It seems like automatically assuming everyone has the same popularity goes against what makes these drafts fun. And it rubs me the wrong way that people are taking points from The Rock because he was too good at what he did.

Even if The Rock isn't actually wrestling for my fed for a long time, the publicity gained by his acting career is going to make him profitable for most of the 30 years probably, not to mention how he'll jump start my promotion right away.

This draft has officially jumped the shark when Bando makes those picks and he's serious.

My board's also been ripped to shreds since my last pick. I'm about 10% serious on nwo Sting and 25% on Undertaker.

With my first pick of the round Classic Championship Wrestling selects:

Spoiler:
From Washington DC. Weighing in at 250 pounds. Here is:


Spoiler:


Rocky Johnson!

A 32 time champion, Rocky Johnson is an excellent fit for my promotion. He was a top contender for Harley Race's NWA Championship in the 1970s and in the 1980s won the WWF Tag Team Championship with Tony Atlas. Both of these obviously can and will be recreated at some point in this promotion.

He had all the tools to become one of the greatest. Unlike many wrestlers his size back in his era Rocky was agile. He wasn't a Duggan style brawler, but instead won with wrestling. While researching I've seen him win matches with the boston crab, a few roll ups off the ropes, and uh an abdominal stretch (it was the early 80s...). He also had tremendous showmanship. If you've seen the Rocky movies, he reminds me a lot of Apollo Creed. I have a feeling that the only reason he never became world champion is that he was a black wrestler in the 1970s. That will not be a problem in my federation.

I think just the text of the audio is hilarious:

"MY GAWD, WHAT IS THAT? THAT'S.......THAT'S KURT ANGLE ALRIGHT BUT........IT'S A DAMN MILK TRUCK!!!! KURT ANGLE IS DRIVING A MILK TRUCK RIGHT OUT TO THE RING!!!!!!!

(Angle turns the hose on)

"oh MY GAWD! THAT'S MILK!!!!! MILK-O-MANIA IS RUNNING WILD!!!!! IT'S MILK MAN MADNESS MY GAWD!!!!!!!!! YA GOT MILK?!!??!! THE MILLION DOLLAR PRINCESS HAS BECOME THE DAIRY QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!"
