21st Century Fantasy Wrestling Draft

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Does it sound like Hawk 34 is a favorite for best card of the draft

Yes Yes

 

[OG]

Completing a tag team.

Chris Harris

 

[tekcop]

My next pick is an odd one. She's one of the greatests of a time, but she retired in 2002 and went on to be Japan's favorite B-list celebrity mom and work a bunch of comedy matches. This isn't The Dangerous Queen, this is

Akira Hokuto

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

Continuing to stock up on juniors for some kind of crazy multi-man as well as partners for bigs, this guy is super versatile and completely timeless. He's currently one of the best over 50 workers in the world but I'd be using an earlier version of him probably from the M2K era.

Masaaki Mochizuki (00's)

 

[Brocklock]

I'm going with another spectacle for my final pick. This guy is a joke and punchline now, but there was a time he was an absolute phenom in Japan and one of the biggest stars. He has a ton of charisma and is one of a kind. I'm taking

Bob Sapp (2002 to 2007)

 

[Master Thrasher]

I'm picking the most powerful woman in wrestling:

Stephanie McMahon

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

OK Folks! With the LADY BOSS concluding our first part of the draft, we move onto the Supplement Rounds.

At approximately 2 AM EST, OG will make his 25th and 26th round picks.

An hour later, 909 will make his 25th and 26th round picks. Then Hawk 34 makes his picks at 8 AM once the bEast Coast TSMers start waking up.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Hey friends! If you could message me your Rounds 25-28 picks, that'd be much appreciated. I know 909 and OG's 29-30 picks cause they happened right before the crash.


In the meantime, let's keep going forward with Round 29-30.

I'm going to complete my Money in the Bank match.

First is a guy I think would have been picked way sooner than the supplemental rounds if he came around 25-30 years earlier. But then again, that wouldn't be a 21st Century Draft! Even though his in ring style is kind of dated, I actually think he's an OK worker and an absolutely great promo. He has great chemistry with two guys on my roster. Just a very solid soft spoken believable arrogant heel.

Nick Aldis


Finally, for the last guy in my MitB, I want a big man who can believably mix it up with Braun Strowman. This guy is also incredibly agile and will be able to fly with some of the smaller guys in the match. He's also allies with Marty Scurll and I like guys teaming up during these matches. I feel like this guy would be a lot higher rated if he stayed on the indies and MLW rather than jumping to ROH.

Brody King

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

SUNDAY 4/26 I took WAR MACHINE (Rowe & Hanson)

MONDAY 4/27 I took THE DYNASTY (Richard Holliday & Alexander Hammerstone)

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino, Hiroshi Hase, Yuji Okabayashi,

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

Karl Anderson, Doc Gallows, Soberano Jr, Volador Jr

 

[Brocklock]

Round 25 - Evan Bourne

Round 26 - Giant Bernard

Round 27 - Steve Corino

Round 28 - Jack Evans

 

[Hawk 34]

Damn I wanted Aldis and I couldn’t pick him cuz the the board died wtf Ok

 

[Hawk 34]

I think I took jamie noble Eddie Edwards And the second city saints with my last four picks

 

[tekcop]

Tamon Honda, Ricky Marvin, Fandango, Tyler Breeze

 

[Hawk 34]

Nick Aldis

Ok moving on!

I’ll take a plucky underdog that has good charisma can bump and I need a good blowjob face and he is a modern version of it

DARBY ALLIN

And next I will add another big man

DONOVON DIJAKOVIC

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

My rounds 29 and 30 picks

Lance Storm

and

Michelle McCool

 

[Brocklock]

I think Thrasher took Lance Storm with one of his supplemental picks. I might be wrong, but I could've swore one of the days was Lance Storm and Beulah.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Yeah. Thrasher took Lance Storm with one of his last picks.

Dijak and

Spoiler

Jeff Jarrett

were my alternates for last two guys in my MITB in case someone picked Nick Aldis and Brody King before me.

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

Mayu Iwatani

(Lance storm replacement)

 

[909]

I had Konnan, Hernandez, Steve Blackman, and Chris Kanyon.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I think Thrasher took Lance Storm with one of his supplemental picks. I might be wrong, but I could've swore one of the days was Lance Storm and Beulah.

Thanks for jogging my memory on that cause it reminded me he picked Shaq and Gronk the day before and gave me the indelible image of Shaq & Gronk dealing with rowdy smarks at the Hammerstein Ballroom.

I'm amazed that Darby fell to the supplemental rounds since he's pretty universally liked, a unique presence, and every other midcard and up AEW guy seemed like they got picked before Round 20 or so. Unless I'm forgetting someone.

 

[OG]

I had:

Daga
El Hijo del Fantasma
Bobby Roode
Ember Moon

 

[Master Thrasher]

Ken Shamrock

Taz

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I also considered '02 NWA World Champion era Ken Shamrock for my MitB match.

 

[Hawk 34]

2001 TAZZ against Gronk in the Hammerstein. Nice.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

TNA era Shamrock against Shaq in the Hammerstein. Niiice

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

2001 Tazz/Shaq vs. 2002 Shamrock/Gronk at the Hammerstein

NOICE

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Now I'm imagining Shaq doing Tazz's entrance with the towel over his head and the dumb sleeveless coveralls. Niiiiiiice

Mental image of Tazz and Shaq standing next to each other is also incredible.

 

[Hawk 34]

SHAQ GOT CONFUSED
