The Return: HF All-Time Wrestling Draft XI - Discussion Thread

[Sheppy]

Yeah, I had him lined up as well, lol

 

[Sheppy]

Damn, also had MJF on my list!

 

[les Habs]

I was wondering when MJF would go.

A lot of tag teams going notably earlier if I'm not mistaken, including the Rock n Sock Connection.

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

Going far out of my comfort zone taking big Dave. Up for the challenge.

 

[Habsrule]

I’m not sure what to do with Randy Orton. I never expected him to slip this far down so I had to grab him just for the value be brings.

That Benoit gif is hilarious. Perfect does such a good sell job that he nearly concussed himself.

Yes when I saw that sell I knew I had to use it. Beautiful.

I had him last year but I think I took him fairly early. He’s phenomenal value at this stage, regardless.

I can’t tell you much about Drew McIntyre prior to his work in the last year or so, but for me he’s got tot be on the top current gen guys going right now. I even came up with a last minute idea for him, but figured I wouldn’t get him. Either way, nice pick @GKJ .

I was going to use this gif if I picked Benoit

It felt like a risk not taking him a round earlier. Past drafts he went like 100 picks later which also didn’t make sense.

 

[JackSlater]

I like Nakamura going where his talent deserves rather than how his current usage dictates. He's very useful.

Also, I was hoping to get Logan Paul later on. I like him when he's used right. Which clearly he won't be this year.

If I did Steamboat vs Triple H and used Flair in the build, what age is he? My head hurts.

 

[Sheppy]

Always loved getting Bruiser Brody on my cards, good pick there.

 

[JackSlater]

If I did Steamboat vs Triple H and used Flair in the build, what age is he? My head hurts.

Young Flair.

You can use any wrestler at any age.

 

[les Habs]

You can use any wrestler at any age.

This. I'm even thinking of making someone's daughter/niece their sister instead,

Yeah I know, but a Raw promo where Flair is in the middle and is old enough to have his history with HHH, would have to be some time travel combination like Steamboat being his 80s version but Flair being old version.

Yes, and it's a fantasy draft. I personally specifics of what iteration of wrestler you're using, but you can even give them new personas. I mean if you want to have Ric "The Dragon" Flair then so be it. How that resonates with others might be a different story, but I would just say make the card you want to make.

 

[Sheppy]

Yeah, I always assume the wrestlers are in the prime of their career when drafting, making my card and voting.

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

Rick Rude going this late is a travesty. He was becoming undeniable. I have had him twice before otherwise I would have taken him by now.
