21st Century Fantasy Wrestling Draft

[Brocklock]

Yeah where else could you book a Frank Gotch and George Hackenschmidt vs The Nasty Boys match.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

I would watch the fuck out of a Gorgeous George/Onita match, let me tell you.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

People won't be able to contain their excitement for my Lou Thesz Vs New Jack main event.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

80's everyone would be scrambling by round 11 and we get people battling over drafting Jose Estrada and Rene Goulet.

those are the battles that make posting worthwhile

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

Another awesome junior heavyweight. Lots of charisma and just a great worker. Completely wasted in WWE.

KUSHIDA

 

[Brocklock]

This is another guy I'm stunned is still here over the Bam Bam Bigelow's and Tommy Dreamer's. He's been hurt by bad WWE booking, but is a terrific worker with a ton of charisma and is still getting a decent push. I'm gonna take

Andrade "Cien" Almas (NXT 2017/18 version)

 

[Master Thrasher]

Toru Yano (who I just know from Yakuza series)

Chris Masters

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

At least one WrestleMania main eventer, who while not a TRTSM favorite, I'm shocked at some of the guys in last few round that were picked over him.

Spoiler

Whether or not I'm talking about The Miz, fiftysomething King Kong Bundy, or rapper era Macho Man Randy Savage, you can decide

 

[Brocklock]

I'm gonna take my opponent for Asuka now. She peaked right before the cutoff point and was one of the most acclaimed wrestlers in the 90's. She was active until 2017 even if she fell off a little and is a Joshi legend. I'm taking

Manami Toyota (2000's)

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

Huge fan of this guy, Dragon Gate never gave him his proper due given how over and talented he was but WWE is wasting him even more (shock).

Akira Tozawa

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[tekcop]

Luchadors don't always match up well with Japanese wrestlers, but my next pick has a history of killing it in Japan. He also had the MOTY last year despite being 100 years old.

Dr. Wagner Jr.

 

[Brocklock]

Dahhhhh I waited too long. I was gonna possibly have him against Necro Butcher.

 

[OG]

As someone already said, I'm quite stunned this dude is still around. A heat magnet for the midcard and the other half of one of my main tag teams.

The Miz

 

[Master Thrasher]

No. Why did you do that? You drafted the guy who was in the main event for second worst Wrestlemania ever. If I was in a room with the Miz, Vince McMahon, HHH, Hulk Hoga, Chris Benoit, and Jimmy Snuka and I had a gun with one bullet, I'd shoot the Miz in the leg and pistol whip him.

 

[OG]

No. Why did you do that?

Because Miz is..........AWEEEEEEEESOME

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

If I was in a room with the Miz, Vince McMahon, HHH, Hulk Hoga, Chris Benoit, and Jimmy Snuka and I had a gun with one bullet, I'd shoot the Miz in the leg and pistol whip him.

Lulz

 

[Hawk 34]

I know people are sour on him now because of the recent booking he’s been through but he’s a good worker a good brawler and has a special quality

Tommaso Ciampa

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

Great take. I was lucky enough to see a lot of him in small gyms before he signed with WWE, and he's one of those guys that comes off better live than on TV.

I'm torn on my next three picks. One is a perfect pairing with my girl Statlander, but the other two would be a great addition to the tag team scene and have been one of the most consistent teams of the last 5 years. I'll focus on giving Statlander somebody she can work off of and has great chemistry with first, I suppose, because I can always make up for the other two down the road.

HIKARU SHIDA

 

[Baby Shoes]

RUSH

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

It's really too bad that last year or so caused Ciampa to fall so far down the draft. Like Laz, I saw him a lot on Beyond shows and he's the type of worker who can pair with pretty much anyone. He's get a lot more love if he wasn't one of Triple H's boys.

Damn. Rush is another guy that has been #2 or #3 on my draft list for last five or so rounds and I waited too long.

Apologies to everyone btw as I'm going to wait an hour or so until my lunch break to make my pick as my work computer stinks at posting photos.

 

[Hawk 34]

...a whole hour?!? Fuck man.

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

Do it from your phone, man

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I also am not 100% sure who I want to pick. I'm waiting to talk with my GM Magic Johnson.

I'll post it as soon as I decide and edit in the photo later to quell the frothing mob!

 

[Brocklock]

Jinder is still waiting

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Well I've waited long enough to add another tag team. Fortunately, these fellas are still on the board. For my money, they're the best tag team in the world right now. I think they've only shown a fraction of their potential on a national stage. Not only are they great brute heels but they're also great charismatic babyfaces, which they haven't shown in AEW yet. I think unlike the Young Bucks, Heaven forbid, if something bad was to happen to one of the members, they've shown potential to be able to transition into singles (which AEW has showcased better than Impact or their indies run actually).

So with my next pick, I'm going to take the Funky Monkey

Ortiz

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

One of the best workers in the country. He can play both sides of the coin but is probably most comfortable as a strong, sympathetic face who can get the crowd emotionally invested in the stories he tells in the ring.

Johnny Gargano

 

[Hawk 34]

I just hope you are able to draft “second facial expression” to be his tag team partner in the next round.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

Of course Kamala takes a guy I'm talking about. Back to the drawing board...

 

[909]

I've been thinking about taking this guy for a really long time. This guy might be the best wrestler to not hold a stable job because he's a piece of shit, but look at who I've taken. I don't care about that.

THE JUICE

My second pick, I'm surprised this guy is still available. I'm not gonna have this guy dance around for me or have him do any of that kind of stupid shit.

R-TRUTH
