1) Dang, Rebel, you're making me think on this one, bro!
2) After posting my pick, I took a look at the roster page on the first page of the thread, and you listed the wrong tag team for me- The tag team I chose was Beer Money (Robert Roode and James Storm), not whomever the heck those two guys are.

When I sent my PM to Johnny Rebel, I had a gut feeling that Barrett would be picked up before I went, so I already had "Das Wunderkind" Alex Wright as my pick for this round. I know that he was always a midcarder at best in WCW, but boy the kid was entertaining before he got injured and came back as Berlyn. That gimmick sucked!
Still, a belated "NUTS!" to C.J. Gates for taking Paul London and Brian Kendrick. I thought about taking Kendrick in the second round, as he's one of my top five favorite wrestlers ever, but the fact that Rick Steamboat was still available made him too good to pass up. I wasn't expecting anyone else to be as huge a fan of the Hooliganz (their unofficial Team Name that they had their ring gear fashioned after, but one that WWE didn't promote). Their tag title run was one of my favorite times in WWE, especially after Eddie's death, because they were the first guys that came even somewhat close to entertaining me on the level Eddie did before he passed.

To help Rebel out. Any post in the game thread of not picking a wrestler or someone not playing the game picking someone, I will be deleating their post

Jeff, did you delete my post? I picked someone since I was on the clock (albeit not before bemoaning the loss of my first choice!).

I did, I didn't noticed that you had picked someone My Apologize Look at Jeff with an itchy delete finger! Thanks for cleaning up the game thread, though. It makes it easier to track. I hope keeping all the rosters in the second post will help people to not double-pick. Level-One, you're up! |

God fucking damn it. Buckson Gooch gets creative and picks Kane (born in Spain) with his fourth round pick. I was going to do this! I was banking on nobody else knowing! :/ |

No, give them the Bushwackers.  In fact, the one of the right might be related to Kash... I would... except Yarmouth picked them already. |

^^ I Agree completely!
Also is Antonio Cesaro really European? I'd have so made that pick cause he's a RoH guy. I almost went Nigel McGuinness but figured people might only know him as Wolfe and ehhh..

He was born in Switzerland. Knew that from his days as Claudio Castagnoli in ROH and CHIKARA. Didn't even think of McGuinnes. Checked to see if the Kings of Wrestling were drafted before making that pick. I like what he brings. Big fan of Cesaro/Claudio.

C.J's up with the last pick in the fourth round.
He'll also have the first pick in the fifth round. You must draft a wrestler that has at one time held a cruiserweight championship. There are multiples from the various promotions over the years... any of them will do. As long as they have been a one time cruiserweight/light heavyweight champion, they are fair game!
Here is the order for the FIFTH round:
1. Gates
2. JamesV
3. Callahan
4. Kash
5. Jeff
6. Sally
7. Level-One
8. Gooch
9. Krunk
10. A.C. Smith
11. Hart
12. Biggs
13. Speede
14. Rebel
15. Yarmouth

Well... when the gimmick reads must be a former WWE/WWF world champion, I guess I'm completely fucked.

The European thing proved harder than I would have liked given the matches I had thought out. A lot of my hopefuls were scooped up, so I went with Williams just...cause lol. Made my next pick too, so maybe I'll have redeemed myself there...
And Biggs, I figured you'd be a bit perturbed by it. I didn't know which direction I wanted to go. I had the pick of the litter but I went with them because they're so damn entertaining.
