Why do that? It's Bushwacker Blocking.
+1 Bushwacker blocking is just CRUEL man, its just cruel....

How can we view the current makeup of all the teams? I don't see how to do it with the spreadsheet on page 1.

It's been 12 hours since the Doink/Dink picks. Cruizn did you PM Iggy?

Regardless, he's skipped so mwj and I are up...

mjw and I are taking The Nasty Boys



I have no idea how they fell this far. They really aren't any less valuable than teams like Demolition that were snap-picked the second we hit the double rounds. If we ran this draft again, I'm not even sure these guys don't go in the sixth/seventh round. It's a huge steal considering some of the no-name jobbers that have been taken recently.

Nasty Boys were probably going to be my pick. Nice job.

Yeah, didn't get a PM or realize it was my pick. I'll go now though. I'm actually kinda stuck though as there are 3 people I really, really want.

With our last 2 picks, Rhino Wrestling Federation is proud to select:

THEME 1
THEME 2

Spoiler:

I am very excited to get "The Godfather" and "Akeem the African Dream". They continue to help my federation with their versatility. I can join them up with Butch Reed and recreate the Nation. I can also Papashango the Godfather and add another freak to the circus. I will also likely One Man Gang Akeem and have a hubba bubba feud with Bundy. I also look forward to a nation vs texans type racial feud.

I was gonna take Miss. Elizabeth with my final pick, but these guys were too good to pass up.





Final Roster
Macho Man
Jake the Snake
Honky Tonk Man
Brian Pillman
Billy Gunn
Al Snow
Goldust
Adrian Adonis
Brutus Beefcake
Mike Rotundo
King Kong Bundy
Black Jack Mulligan
The Natural Butch Reed
One Man Gang
The Godfather

OK, the first pick's too much value to pass up. I wasn't planning on him earlier or I would have taken him in the 9th over Justin Credible, but his value to my federation is going to be immense.

Spoiler:


Vince Russo

Much-maligned over some of his failings in WCW, Vince Russo was still one of the most brilliant minds in wrestling history. He wrote the majority of the angles during the WWF's attitude era, and was known for his ability to write episodic television as well as making sure to always write a storyline for everyone on the show and not ignore the jobbers and other lower card wrestlers.

His problem was that he needed a filter. When he was working with Ed Ferrara and Vince McMahon, they shot down the more ludicrous of his ideas and what was left was television gold. It may sound a little bit egotistical, but in my fed, I feel like that role can be filled by me. I feel like I'm actually pretty good with writing wrestling storylines, and if I have a genius mind like Russo's to work with, I see no reason that the two of us couldn't create some history.

Career highlights:

-WWF head writer during Attitude era
-Former WCW champion

So our final roster, barring changes is:

Sting
Jerry Lawler
Jeff Hardy
Scott Steiner
Ultimo Dragon
Gorilla Monsoon
Tito Santana
Rikishi
Marc Mero
Kamala
Nikolai Volkoff
Koko B. Ware
Brian Adams
Brian Knobbs
Jerry Saggs

I think it's a great mix of everything. Tons of longevity. Sting/Lawler is a good face/heel feud to headline. Monsoon and Lawler give us a great booth. Rikishi/Kamala could be a great feud. Ultimo Dragon, Jeff Hardy, and Koko give us a high-flying division. And we have a lot of guys that can tag team against the Nasty Boys. Steiner/Hardy vs. Nasty Boys seems like a good possibility. Steiner, Hardy, Tito, Volkoff, and Brian Adams all have major tag team experience. All in all, we're both pretty thrilled with how our federation turned out.

+1

I don't think anyone has a roster as established as this one. You guys might be able to put on slightly better matches, but everyone of our guys can handle themselves in the ring and they're all complete pros. I feel very confident that if we presented this thread to a guy like Vince McMahon or Jim Cornette, that they'd both really love this stable.

It feels dirty taking another woman over Elizabeth, especially one that was nowhere remotely in her stratosphere popularity-wise, but she's a way better fit with my fed than Elizabeth. I don't know who I could pair any kind of pure valet with, let alone one that just plays the innocent princess type character from the 80s. I guess I'll just go with my other choice and forget about the women altogether:

Spoiler:
With my last pick in the draft, I select Chris Harris allowing me to complete the tag team of

America's Most Wanted



America's Most Wanted was the foremost tag team in TNA during the early years, often main-eventing PPVs over the upper-card world title contenders with their epic feud against Triple X. They had several MOTY candidates, and some of their early 6-sides of steel matches were actually given that award by several wrestling media outlets.

The only issue I have is that there's no one for them to oppose right now in the tag division, but since we're only drafting an incomplete roster, I guess we'll just have to let that slide.

Career highlights:

# Pro Wrestling Illustrated
* PWI Tag Team of the Year (2004)

# Total Nonstop Action Wrestling
* NWA World Tag Team Championship (6 times)
* Asylum Alliance Tag Team Tournament (2003)

# Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards
* Tag Team of the Year (2005)

Complete roster:
Rob Van Dam
John Cena
Bob Backlund
Sandman
Trish Stratus
Matt Hardy
Larry Zyzbszko
Kidman
Bobby Lashley
Rick Steiner
America's Most Wanted (James Storm and Chris Harris)
Justin Credible
Awesome Kong
Vince Russo

Thanks for the heads up. I will take Elizabeth instead of Godfather.



Does anyone mind if I drop One Man Gang and take someone else? He was kind of a package deal with Godfather.

You really think Beer Money is bigger than America's Most Wanted? How? They've never been at the top of the card and the didn't have anywhere near as long with the tag titles or as many intense feuds. Really, outside of a couple hyped matches with the Dudleys, they haven't done much. I mean, not that I don't like the tag team, but it seems like Storm still has to be way more connected with AMW than with Beer Money.

i agree with all of the above.

i just like the combination of storm and UNDRAFTED over storm and harris.

harris' recent very brief WWE run soured me on him.

Do we still want to have this judged? Are there people lurking that want to judge? I figure, if people want to, there's no harm in doing it. It'd be interesting to get one of these things evaluated fully. I'd be interested in hearing a lot of opinions on different rosters.
