Oh God, I hope you have a talk to Earl telling him no 3 counts that take 45 seconds to make. No. Sometimes we want that. I agree. Sometimes. Once in a while is perfect, every weekly show takes away from it. My biggest Earl pet peeve when I re-watched old RAWs a while back.

For the record, I think I've protected nearly everybody of my "non-talkers":
Young Bucks - Nick is vastly more talented in the ring but Matt can definitely talk Lucha Bros - yet to be determined. Wouldn't be surprised to see Eddie Kingston John Studd, Bobby Duncum Sr., Chyna - Heenan Anna Jay - John Silver Jushin Liger, Antonio Inoki, Asuka - Heyman Tanahashi I haven't really protected. He can do some English but his whole thing is the spectacle that he is. Reigns/Ambrose - both fine on their own. It's why Reigns didn't need Heyman.
to be continued....

One day left. Thanks to KS for getting this organized and keeping score of all the picks and everything else, and thanks to everyone for participating. It's been fun watching all the picks and reasoning for them. I look forward to the more creative of you booking your territories.
Great job everyone.
Except randomone.

One advantage of being old is that I think y'all are too young to really appreciate AWA or Windy City Classics etc... Or maybe you just thought it sucked I suppose! haha So I basically had that wrestling genre all to myself and I brought back all the classics and all the brutality that one could hope for. Crusher, Bruiser, Mad Dog, Baron, Duncum, Billy Robinson is some hard core shit. Blood. Guts. Nasty. Bockwinkel, Gagne add the technical aspect. The wrestler's wrestler.

And I know a lot of you know Lord Hayes as a face announcer/interviewer but was was an AMAZING heel manager back in the day in AWA.

I wonder how Jim Cornette feels about this:
Jushin Thunder Liger Rey Fenix Nick Jackson Will Ospreay Jungle Boy Penta El Zero Miedo Darby Allin Matt Jackson Ben Carter John Silver
I drafted ALL of them just to piss him off!

My plan was to get Cornette with the #1 pick and then Russo Omega Young Bucks Miro Penelope Donald Trump It would slowly drive Cornette insane, especially when I would book a 6-man tag match with Cornette, Russo, and Miro vs Trump, Omega, and Penelope.

Well, its clear Peeps and Woodridge are sexist pigs since only ONE female wrestler has been drafted between them.
DiCaro will hear about this!

He likes Liger, Jungle Boy and Darby Allin. You must get your info from Meltzer.

No I just don’t give a real shit about women’s wrestling all that much. Just like how many people don’t give a shit about the WNBA. Wrestling fans have this weird attitude (mainly the Meltzer and AEW crowd) that everyone has to love women’s wrestling as equal to men’s. You don’t. I love great women’s wrestling but I’m not going out of my way to add that to my territory.

He likes Liger, Jungle Boy and Darby Allin. You must get your info from Meltzer. He goes back and forth on Darby. "I understand that giving Darby Allin a rub by having him together with Sting or Sting passing the torch, or giving his blessing or whatever. I understand that in theory, but in visual practice, Sting and Darby Allin together in the ring looks like a legendary Ringling Brothers clown with his delinquent grandson that dropped out of clown college.”

Yea. He likes him though.
You've never made one negative comment about something that you still ultimately like?

Cornette is also hot and cold on Jungle Boy. Seems to like him in the ring but also calls him a dwarf from time to time as well as crucifying his promo skills. Hmmmm Maybe I can work some sort of storyline out of all that.

BREAKING NEWSWhile unable to independently confirm, the BBC is reporting that after yesterday's reunion between Lord Alfred Hayes & Billy Robinson, Lord Hayes has now landed the newly drafted tag team. The BBC goes on to report that the group will be known as the Lords of the Ring.

You single out that AEW's crowd and Meltzer are the ones who have this attitude that you have to love women's wrestling while WWE has been ramming Women's Evolution down fans throats for how long now? I know you like taking jabs at Meltzer & AEW and all, but c'mon. How many times are we told in WWE how legendary & historic their matches are when they clearly aren't? It happens everywhere, not just AEW fans. If anything, with the exception of a couple Shida matches and the Britt/Rosa match (which was really unlike any women's match we've seen), fans have pointed out that the AEW women's division has been pretty weak in terms of wrestling to be honest. Off the top of my head that women's tag tournament was friggin rough.
Totally understand your view on it & why you choose not to have it in your territory though. You're the booker, it's your decision on what is on & not on your show.

He can rag on him for being super skinny, no doubt, but Eaton & Condrey were both like 6 foot and Jungle Boy is 5'10-5'11
