Perhaps this is karmic punishment for all of the public hemming and hawing you do between picks.

Hawk 34 could have the legendary Kofi Kingston/Evan Bourne tag team or legendary Kofi Kingston/R Truth tag team!

I assumed both teams were transitional champions but I just looked at history of RAW Tag Team Titles, and the Air Bourne (that was the dumb name they gave Kofi & Evan Bourne's team, right?) had it for almost 5 months and Kofi & R Truth had it for almost 6 months. Man, the tag team titles were basically useless from the mid '00s to the early 2010s.

They had big plans for Air Boom that kept getting derailed with Bourne haven’t a combination of injuries and weed suspensions

He’s a miserable grouchy prick but the man can work and I’ll use him as my mid card workhorse or a tag team specialist.

Good pick. I was thinking of taking him if he was still around with my next pick.

MJF will be running his mouth up and down the map, about how he's the smartest and the most talented and how he's the future and blah blah blah, so let's just see how big his stones are, eh? His dedication to the business? I think I know the perfect guy to test his mettle. He's MDK gang affiliated, the God of Ultraviolence...

My #1 contender for the Women's Title. She was one half of probably the greatest pre Women's Revolution era WWE women's division feud. I think it'd be extremely fun to have her go against Bayley in a Single White Female inspired feud. Of course, if you couldn't tell, I'm going to go with...

I’m gonna go with another personality who can also bring in the ring. His creativity and charisma complements every member of my roster. Imagine this dude vs Eddie?

I didn't think I would get to do this, but now I can do this. I will definitely not get another chance to pick these two together in a draft.

just ignore that Hogan is in this picture, and WWE used them terribly, but I HAVE TAKEN THE OUTSIDERS

He's the workhorse of my heel stable. Honestly, the best worker of the group and potentially will be the real star when all is said and done.

AW SONUVABITCH!

Once you picked a Jackson, I was like "Well. I can go to my backup plan of the Usos in a few rounds."


Maybe a Nick Jackson/Jey Uso team is crazy enough to work...

I really am hoping no one wants the others by picking one of each right now. There actually is another team on the board I kinda want to face the Bucks but I feel like I’ve said too much already. Hope to get a couple quality tag matches on my show.

Still a lot of good teams left on the board.

Really digging how random this draft is. Like I had Nick Gage on my list but way down but when Necro Butcher was picked up, he shot up about 10-15 places. Now that he's picked, I'm worried I might not be able to pick any death match wrestlers! :(

I make a promise to you booker man, I won’t touch David Arquette, so feel free to fulfill your death match wishes.

I'm in a real pickle here, because there are so many big names and great workers still available but I'm pretty comfortable with the rest of my picks on deck. Not sure if I should bloat up some of the roster with marquee talents or stay the course and fill in my undercard...gonna find a happy medium, I guess, because this guy? He ain't nothin' to fuck with.

A good worker with amazing athleticism who I hope to plug as a tag team worker but in case someone really wants his long time partner I can live with him as a strong mid carder.

Well, in my dream of reuniting the Haas brothers, I need to take Charlie Haas I guess. Would be fitting.

My actual pick is a guy I'm delighted to get in the 12th round. I get starpower for my show, plus he had a resurgence as a worker in the mid-2000's so is not purely a nostalgia act.

This might a record for longest we’ve gone into a draft without a repeat pick!

Sting is long gone brother 909 took him like 3rd round
How did I miss that? Bah, I knew it was too good to be true.

Instead, I'll draft a good guy who can work all across the card and can be paired with Omega if need be (until he turns on him and they feud).

I need guys to fill specific slots in my card now, so it's time for some great utility players. I need someone who can walk out in front of a cold crowd and get them warmed up for the rest of the show.

Brian Kendrick! Despite the picture, I have no idea if I'm going with 205 live grungy Kendrick or THE Brian Kendrick yet, but probably not Spanky or Hooligan Kendrick.

I know some on this board are pretty meh on Chris Hero, so I was hoping to get him in a later round. Drats.
