WWE: HFWF does THE DRAFT: 1st overall pick (RAW)

[M.C.G. 31]

Yep... after WWE did their draft, now WE do a draft and see how the rosters would play out.

Some housekeeping:

1. There will be three separate drafts, one for singles superstars (male and female), one for tag teams (NXT and WWE) and one for NXT. Depending on how many NXT tag teams are drafted will determine how many rounds for NXT superstars. Raw will get 3 NXT picks and Smackdown will get 3 NXT picks, this is the only round where there will be an alternating order and Smackdown getting the first pick.

2. Finn Balor, Nia Jax, American Alpha, Mojo Rawley, Carmella and Alexa Bliss will be in the "NXT" category as they weren't on the main roster before the draft.

3. Threads will be open for at least a full day. Once the next thread is up, then the previous poll will close. Never will one poll be open for two-or-more days, though.

4. If you vote "OTHER" you MUST name who you'd vote in that spot.

5. If you would like to break up a tag-team, post in the most recent thread saying "add Bubba Ray" (using as an example). There will need to be at least three posts (the initial post, plus two in agreement from two different posters) for that superstar to be added into the singles draft.

6. We will follow WWE's format where Raw would get three picks for every two Smackdown got, but the format will go Raw-SD-Raw-SD-Raw-Raw-SD-Raw-SD-Raw.

7. For the threads where Raw will have two consecutive picks, the polls will be MULTI-OPTION... only vote for TWO superstars to go to Raw at this point.

Without further ado... let's begin.

[M.C.G. 31]

To be added in the next poll: Wyatt, Owens, Zayn, Charlotte, Sasha (one of the males, one of the women).

 

[Paris in Flames]

WWE got it right with Rollins. I see no need to change this one.

 

[Emperoreddy]

AJ Styles. He is the best everything in the company right now and could be the megastar they seem to be still searching for.

 

[Kimi]

I think you have to go with Rollins.

Kayfabe: He's the legitimate WWE Champion. If it wasn't for his injury suffered while carrying the comapny, or Ambrose's dirty Money in the Bank cash in, he would still hold his rightful title. I've full faith that he'll reclaim what is rightfully his at Battleground and then lead the WWE once again.

Legit: He's the perfect guy to build around. He's young, a top tier wrestler, he can talk, he can play both face and heel, already established as a top tier guy. He's also still very fresh, he's not has that many singles programs, which is important for a top guy. Almost anything you do with him with be fresh and new.


Styles would be my second pick, but he's not currently in the title picture. I think when doing a draft like this you have to take the current champion or the current contender. Rollins does have legit claim for the title so it makes perfect sense to take him here. It also lets the heel GM in Steph take her boy Rollins.

If we ignore storylines, titles, and whatnot, then I'd take Styles.

 

[ColePens]

I will even jump the gun and say the first 2 picks were absolutely perfect and the way it should go. Rollins 1 and the WWE Champ Dean AMbrose 2.

 

[xtra]

well that's if we consider the outside situation. if we do it Kayfabe then Lesnar is #1 if we do it from a business pov then the top picks are done correctly

 

[Kimi]

Even in Kayfabe you can easily make arguments against picking Lesnar and Cena first. Lesnar is only on TV a couple of times a year, and Cena is old and wrestling far less. Neither are going to be there week in, week out. You get far more value out of a full time guy like Rollins or Ambrose who can headline every show of the year. They even said as much on commentary last week.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

IMO, Seth Rollins is everything you want out of a superstar. He's the total package.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

The Man is running away with this one.

 

[OmniSens]

Ideally you'd wanna draft the WWE Champ... Rollins is that good, still pick him.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Rollins wins this one pretty convincingly, so I'll move onto the second pick.
