I clearly want to have the oldest roster on the board. So let's go with one of my top 10? 5? Of all time.

Man you guys forced me to go with the NO MAAM strategy. I hope you’re happy with yourselves.

Gonna take a guy I'm a big fan of who while a big star, should have been even bigger if it wasn't for Inoki's dumb bs.

I'm going with someone I think is super underrated and versatile. He's an excellent tag team worker and I already drafted his partner. But, he's also really good in big main events. I could also stick him in an intense physical match with a Benoit or Ishii. Or stick him in a hoss fight down the line. I'm taking a GREAT WHITE. I choose

There's a strong chance I'm going to start dipping into the old guys with one or both of my next picks. Unless everyone else decides to pick old dawgs!

I was almost gonna go with a NO MAAM roster myself, but I saw this top female hasn't been picked yet and I have to take her. I choose

I'm going to take the guy who I think has been a top 5 worker for the last several years and is under-looked in the US because he isn't in NJPW.

Floyd Mayweather Jr was definitely on my list. I was hoping to have him in a special attraction " no holds barred bare knuckle brawl" with a yet to be determined heavyweight boxer.


None of you fuckers better pick Butterbean!

Asuka was my next pick. But I like Asuka best as a heel and I need a top female face anyways.

Yeah, I still have a deep wishlist of male and female talent I’d be happy with but I’m juggling in my mind who I want to snag when

Yeah, I think barring literally everyone on my wishlist getting drafted by the next four picks, I think I'm gonna wait another 3 rounds to start my women's division.

Well I have Orton and Batista, may as well complete by main heel stable. Kinda surprised this guy is still on the board.

Going to start adding to the mid card portion of my roster and I need a top babyface that has been over enough to be a top guy but fits better in the middle as a singles star or as a tag team specialist.

As was said in one of the WM threads, we can really see what the preferred eras and styles are for each poster by who they're picking. I'm so enamored with the golden age of the indies it hurts. That's why I'm nabbing somebody who, too often, is an unsung hero of that period, both in terms of quality and in importance. His hand in training some of the early stars and in booking ROH precursor JAPW needs to be acknowledged more, but at least his roles in two of the best feuds of 2006 - ROH vs. CZW and LAX vs. Styles/Daniels - gets him some of the credit he deserves. He is the Notorious 187...

And I've inadvertently booked my first tag team in the Rottweilers. Wonder who I'll book them against...

I have a few different people I thought about with this pick who are all still on the board but seeing some of the female talents are going, let me book one of the most interesting possibilities for opponents for Becky, in my book. Someone who hasn’t had the huge stage like my show but comes across as a star everywhere she goes

Time to complete my first tag team. Although this guy is an excellent addition to my mid card as a singles. It's funny, in 2001, if you had asked most people, they would say this guy was washed up and nearing his career. Here we are though, almost 20 years later, and after getting sober and into the best shape of his career since the early '90s if not ever, this guy is still a damn good worker. I'm gonna go just a few years back into his career though cause I want to use his most famous character.

There are too many variables for me to leave these two out there for another round.

With a gif from the greatest entrance video ever I select Jay White.

Secondly I will take...

Btw I was bummed when I couldn't pick Pentagon Jr. because I took what I thought was a real photographer level picture and I had wanted to post it.

Continuing my theme of guys I think may have fell a bit because of their lousy recent history and guys with mixed reputations on this board. I think when this guy is at his best, he's one of the most compelling characters in this century so far. I'm pairing him up with Cody (and Goldust) cause I think it has potential to be an awesome feud. Second generation superstars who have gone down much different paths. An ultimate modern babyface Vs an ultimate modern heel.

Going to go with the 2014 iteration.
