THE RULES

Participants get to draft in reverse snake order a roster comprised of the following categories:

2009-2001
1991-2000
1980-1990
Pre-80's
Tag Team
Stable
Women's
Personality (announcer/valet/manager/bodyguard/special referee)
Storyline
Title Belt
PPV
Match

The decade categories apply to the year of the wrestler's debut in one of WWE/F, WCW, ECW, and TNA. Pruro and Lucha debuts are also eligible, but only for those wrestlers who never debuted in North America. For the Pre-80's category, territories can be selected, but a link between the territory and one of the aforementioned four companies (NWA being absorbed by WCW, WWWF being absorbed by WWE/F, etc).

If a wrestler is selected as part of a stable or tag team, he's still available to be selected as a singles wrestler (The Rock in Nation of Domination, Triple H in DX etc).

The same works for title belts as well, like the European Belt being absorbed by the Intercontinental and so on.

If a former wrestler is selected in the "Personality" category, he isn't eligible for selection as a singles wrestler (Gorilla Monsoon, Jerry Lawler, Mick Foley as announcers, for example).

The storyline category will be defined as a specific event/feud (forming of nWo, WCW invades WWE, Austin vs McMahon, etc)

Trades! you can make trades but the it has to be zero-sum since every team needs 12. For example Team A can trade the 1st and 40th pick to Team B for the 5th and 6th pick. Even after you have selected a wrestler you can trade. There is no trade deadline however there will be no trades allowed after the very last pick.

Both parties must send the trade details to me.

Make use of PMs and the chatroom to negotiate.

Switching!
At any time you can switch a wrestler from one category to another if it qualifies for it.

-----

When you are selecting please state in BOLD letters who you are selecting and in what category.

example: With the 1st overall pick of the draft, Flamesguy_SJ selects the Goobledy Gucker in the 1991-2000 category.

Feel free to include a biography, pictures, youtube videos, etc for your selections, as well as a brief explanation on why you chose them.

-----

Ass-kicking - When it's your turn you have 12 hours to select. After 12 hours the draft will continue on until you come back and pick. Your name will have brackets around it in the thread title. If your turn is coming up and you are away, please send 3 choices to me and I will select for you.

- If you see a name in the thread title with a * beside it, that means they have submitted their pick to the commish.

That's pretty much it. Any questions you can ask in here or PM me.

And so, without further ado, ladies and gentlemen...

LLLLET'S GET READY TO RRRUMBLE!!!

[Superflyer]

LAST!!! LAST!!! What is this!!

I have a question, what is "Title Belt" Does this mean anyone that has won a title belt?

[GreenTeaFrapp]

The decade categories apply to the year of the wrestler's debut in one of WWE/F, WCW, ECW, and TNA. For the Pre-80's category, territories can be selected, but a link between the territory and one of the aforementioned four companies (NWA being absorbed by WCW, WWWF being absorbed by WWE/F, etc).

What if the wrestler has never wrestled in one of those four companies or one of the territories absorbed by WWE?

[Flamesguy_SJ]

What if the wrestler has never wrestled in one of those four companies or one of the territories absorbed by WWE?

Can you give me an example?

(I'm assuming it's a Japanese or Mexican wrestler/company...)

[GreenTeaFrapp]

Can you give me an example?

(I'm assuming it's a Japanese or Mexican wrestler/company...)

How about Akira Taue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Taue)?

[Flamesguy_SJ]

How about Akira Taue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Taue)?

Yeah, I'd accept that. I'll edit the definition to WWE/F, WCW, ECW, TNA, Pruro, and Lucha with proof of debut. Sound fair?

[GreenTeaFrapp]

No problems.

[Flamesguy_SJ]

Ok, I've edited the Decades definition to include Lucha and Pruro debuts, with the catch that the wrestlers can't have also debuted in North America beforehand. That's so people can't select North American wrestlers who debuted in Japan/Mexico much later in their careers.

Also, DAN0383 has been added to the draft; Superflyer, you're no longer last!

[CMPunk]

Huh, I didn't know I'd signed up for this draft....

With the 1st pick overall in the draft, The Second City Saints select:

As our Stable:

The Four Horsemen

http://www.lazycoder.com/weblog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/o-wwe-four-horsemen.jpg

The Four Horsemen formed in January 1986 with Ric Flair (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ric_Flair), with Flair's cousins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayfabe) Arn Anderson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arn_Anderson) and Ole Anderson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ole_Anderson), and Tully Blanchard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tully_Blanchard), with James J. Dillon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_J._Dillon) as their manager (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manager_%28professional_wrestling%29). They feuded (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feud_%28professional_wrestling%29) with Dusty Rhodes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dusty_Rhodes_%28wrestler%29) (breaking his ankle and hand), Magnum TA, Barry Windham, The Rock 'N Roll Express (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rock_%27n%27_Roll_Express) (breaking Ricky Morton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricky_Morton)'s nose), Nikita Koloff (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikita_Koloff) (injuring his neck), and The Road Warriors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_Warriors). Dusty Rhodes, Animal, Hawk, Ronnie Garvin and many others fought Ric Flair for the NWA World Heavyweight Title during that time period. They always had most of the titles in the NWA, and they often bragged about their success (in the ring (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squared_circle) and with women) in their interviews (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promo_%28professional_wrestling%29).
The Four Horsemen moniker was not planned from the start. Due to time constraints at a TV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television) taping, production threw together an impromptu tag team (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_team) interview of Flair, the Andersons, Tully Blanchard and Dillon; all were now united after Ole Anderson returned and, along with Flair and Arn, tried to break Dusty's leg during a wrestling event at the Omni (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Omni) in Atlanta during the summer of 1985. It was during this interview that Arn said something to the effect of "The only time this much havoc had been wreaked by this few a number of people, you need to go all the way back to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!". The comparison and the name stuck. Nevertheless, Arn has said in an RF Video (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_Video) shoot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoot_%28professional_wrestling%29) interview that he, Flair and Blanchard were as close as anybody could be away from the ring while they were together. They lived the gimmick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#G) outside of the arena, as they took limos and jets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_aircraft) to the cities they wrestled in. Baby Doll (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickla_Roberts) was Flair's valet for a couple of months in 1986, after previously managing Tully Blanchard during 1985.

[socalwingfan]

With my first pick in the draft, I am proud to select in the Pre-80s category – THE DYNAMITE KID who debuted in Stampede Wrestling in 1978 (which was taken over by the WWF in the ‘80s)
Growing up Saturday afternoons meant watching Stampede Wrestling before HNIC and to me there was no one better than Dynamite!

“Wrestling and gymnastics, helped him develop a relatively small but powerful and agile shape. In addition, he had also received training in boxing during his formative years, which helped instill toughness in him before his career. His father, the brother of Davey Boy Smith's mother, was a miner and itinerant labourer who often took young Thomas to see wrestling matches in Wigan, then as now well-known for its wrestling tradition. It was during a home visit that the younger Billington met and caught the attention of Ted Betley, who had been running a pro-wrestling school in his home; it was here that Billington began his training, as a way of avoiding the back breaking work of the coal mines. His first shot in the pro ranks was working for Max Crabtree, as he debuted in 1975. During his early days, he won the British Lightweight title on April 23, 1977 and the Welterweight title on January 25, 1978. He was also instrumental in starting the career of then-Judo star Chris Adams (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Adams_%28wrestler%29) while still competing in Britain. He was scouted by Stu Hart (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stu_Hart), and moved to Calgary, Alberta, Canada in 1978.
After doing big business in Canada, Dynamite was booked on his first tour of Japan, working for International Pro Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Pro_Wrestling) from July 19-25, 1979. Stu Hart and Stampede Wrestling switched their business relationship from IPW to New Japan Pro Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Japan_Pro_Wrestling) shortly after Dynamite's first tour, and he wrestled for New Japan from January 4, 1980 to August 2, 1984. Perhaps the most memorable matches that came out of Dynamite's run in New Japan were from his now legendary feud against Tiger Mask (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoru_Sayama); Tiger Mask's debut was against Dynamite, in which Tiger Mask shocked the wrestling world by gaining the victory over Dynamite. The two would compete against one another several more times in a feud that is often credited as putting Junior Heavyweight wrestling on the map, as well as setting the standard for future generations.
On February 7, 1984, Billington captured the WWF Junior Heavyweight Championship by winning a tournament in New Japan Pro Wrestling; although it was a WWF Title, it was primarily defended in Japan. He defeated Davey Boy Smith earlier in the tournament, and would go on to defeat The Cobra in the finals
Throughout his time in the WWF, Dynamite Kid made several enemies, including Brutus Beefcake (for insulting someone close to Billington) and Jacques Rougeau (who retaliated for a prank mistakenly attributed to the Bulldogs by sucker-punching Billington with brass knuckles), but was highly respected by many for his toughness and legitimate shooting ability in and out of the ring. For example, after getting assaulted by Rougeau and taking 3 shots in the face from the brass knuckles (including one in the mouth that knocked out 4 of his teeth), Billington never went down; no less than Vince McMahon himself marveled at the fact that Billington took the shots and stayed on his feet. An example of his stiffness in the ring is when he and Smith wrestled a jobber tag team with one half consisting of a young Mick Foley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mick_Foley). By Foley's account, Billington manhandled him so badly in the ring that he couldn't eat solid food for a time, and tore a ligament in Foley's jaw with his trademark Hook Clothesline. Outside of the ring, WWF-champion Randy Savage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage) once specifically asked for him to watch his back when he went drinking in a hotel bar frequented by NWA wrestlers, including Ric Flair (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ric_Flair).”

With my first pick, Team Shooting Star Press Selects from the 1991-2000 Category, The Rock!

After making his debut as Rocky Mavia, The Rock went on to become one the greatest wrestlers ever in the WWF/E. The Rock would go on to win 2 WCW Championships, 7 WWF/E Championships, 2 WWF/E Intercontinental Championships, and 5 WWF/E Tag Team Championships.

If you smell what The Rock is cooking!!!!!

[CMPunk]

And the draft has failed already....:bag:

[Superflyer]

There are quite a few rookies in this draft so I think that we have to cut them some slack for the first couple of rounds.

[SteveToms]

What did I do wrong exactly?

[Flamesguy_SJ]

You didnt do anything wrong, Steve, CMPunk was just commenting on how the draft has stalled after the first three picks.

[CMPunk]

What did I do wrong exactly?


You didn't do anything, just the fact that it's been 22 hours since you picked and no one has been here

[GirlySports]

An AK in the first round? tsk tsk tsk :)

I still have a Dynamite Kid action figure :)

[Flamesguy_SJ]

What can i say? I don't quite have the efficiency of Inbox Bettman yet...im used to you doing all of the organizing, Girly :p

[SteveToms]

Ok, phew.

Its Sunday, give em a break.

[CMPunk]

Ok, phew.

Its Sunday, give em a break.

True, but having 2 guys kicked in the first round after only 3 picks sucks

[GirlySports]

What can i say? I don't quite have the efficiency of Inbox Bettman yet...im used to you doing all of the organizing, Girly :p

Bah, it's just luck. You see how the TV draft fell apart.

Send them PMs and see what they're up to.

[CaptainCrunch]

For his first pick in the 1980 to 1990 category CaptainCrunch takes the most dominant wrestlemania superstar in history. After making his wrestling debut in 1984 at the tender young age of 19 He became the undertaker in the WWE in 1990. As the only superstar to ever go undefeated in Wrestlemania the Deadman remains a dominant figure in the WWE

[Flamesguy_SJ]

Solid pick, Cap. He came pretty close to winning the big one again tonight, but fell just short. It's going to be a sad day when he decides to hang 'em up, for sure.

[CaptainCrunch]

Yeah, was never one of my true favorites, but he is an amazing performer.

Added his debut entrance for fun.

[CMPunk]

His best run was still when he was the evil Bikertaker...when he had the short hair. He cut the best promos and just kicked serious ass

[Flamesguy_SJ]

^^^Yeah, "Respect" 'Taker was pretty sweet. I'm really hoping he goes back go that before the end.

[GreenTeaFrapp]

Sorry for the delay. Been on a plane for the past 5+ hours.

With my first pick, Team Kayfabe is proud to select Terry Funk in the Pre-80's category.

Funk started his career in 1965 and, despite having multiple 'retirement' matches in numerous countries, his most recent match was in 2006. He's wrestled for pretty much every major promotion and has held both the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and the ECW World Heavyweight Championship.

Here's an incredible ECW promo:

Here's the conclusion of his legendary 'I Quit' match with Ric Flair:
Rh-NXQeOn-w

Here's the last half of his legendary empty arena match with Jerry Lawler
Ye3YCWkynwQ

Here is some FMW insanity where Funk literally ends Mr Pogo's career when a crazy sick bump breaks Pogo's neck. Warning some NSFW language towards the end.

Here's Funk asking the ECW fans for a chair. Unfortunately, too many of them oblige.

http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z137/vivafan/StoneCold_Steve_Austin.jpg

With our first round selection, Flamesguy_SJ's Shotgun Saturday Night chooses The Texas Rattlesnake, Stone Cold Steve Austin in the 1980-1990 category.


Original "Austin 3:16" promo

[CaptainCrunch]

Good old Stone Cold one of my favorites, and one of the first real tweeners. The first heel that was really cheered for. Its to bad that his character was ruined at the end of his wrestling career as the whole "What?" stuff was opposite of what his character would do, and thats not give a crap about what the audience think.

Part of the most under appreciated tag teams of all times the Hollywood Blondes withe Brian Pillman (Now that was a character).

Came in to the WWE with a lame character with a great name in the Ringmaster, the WWE gave him a list of new names that included Baron Von freeze and Ice Dagger among others but as he was trying to pick a name, his wife at the time told him to drink his tea before it became Stone Cold.

[Flamesguy_SJ]

^^ You know, it really is amazing to go back and watch some of his stuff from 1996-1998...dude was just absolutely on fire. WM13 with Bret, the feud with Tyson and HBK.

Definitely someone who deserves his upcoming induction to the Hall of Fame, and I really wish he could come back and give us all one last match, but I guess his body is just too beat up to wrestle anymore.

Ever since I heard he was getting into the Hall this year, I can't help but think that Pillman would have been an outstanding choice to induct him.

Rumor has it that we're going to get one more stone cold match at wrestlemania, the bigger rumor is that he's going to be on RAW tommorrow night.

I still remember when the WWE came to Calgary and the main event was a 8 man tag team that featured Shamrock, Stone Cold, Gold Dust Davey, The Anvil Owen and Bret. Stone Cold and Bret Hart worked incredibly well together and in interviews theres a lot of mutual respect between the two. I would have liked to see the Hitman returning the favor and inducting Austin into the hall of fame.

[SteveToms]

Actually he is supposed to be at RAW next week, not tomorrow.

BTW Anyone watch No Way Out tonight? That last match was awesome.

Might be too late, but what about a Canadian wrestler category?

[Flamesguy_SJ]

Rumor has it that we're going to get one more stone cold match at wrestlemania, the bigger rumor is that he's going to be on RAW tommorrow night.

Not to pick on you in particular, but that's always a big rumour around Wrestlemania. I really, really doubt Stone Cold will ever wrestle a full match in the WWE again. 'Mania XIX will stand-up as his last match, which I'm fine with, and is something he brought on himself. Can't really fault him, either; it was either take the needed time off and lose your spot/job, or rest a bit and keep going. I doubt he knew it'd lead to him being one of the most popular wrestlers in history, but all-told I can't think he has too many regrets.

[Flamesguy_SJ]

I caught the opening EC, where I really wanted Taker to win, if for no other reason than I really dislike Triple H as champ. Watched Shane-O vs. Orton too, but that was it for me.

And yeah, it's a little too late to be adding categories. Like I said, if the draft progresses well enough and we really go along at a good clip, we might look at adding a round or two.

[SteveToms]

I figured as much, ahh well I have some good ideas for other people to use.

[HalifaxDrunk]

If it's not too late can I join (pick last). I was away from a computer since last Wednesday and missed the signup. If not not prob.

[GreenTeaFrapp]

I've updated my Terry Funk selection above.

[socalwingfan]

There are rumors of an Austin vs Jericho at WM - makes sense with Jericho's latest angle tearing into the retired greats. Austin has also said that Jericho is one of the few wrestlers he trusts enough to go into the ring with

[GreenTeaFrapp]

Might be too late, but what about a Canadian wrestler category?

I think that would be an excellent addition!

Team "The Best There Is, The Best There Was, and The Best There Ever Will Be" selects...

http://www.rasslers.net/assets/images/bret_hart_3.jpg

Bret Sergeant Hart (born July 2, 1957) is a retired Canadian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada) professional wrestler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling) and actor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor), best known for his personna, "The Hitman". A son of wrestling patriarch Stu Hart (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stu_Hart), he was born into the Hart wrestling family (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hart_wrestling_family). His seven brothers were either wrestlers or involved backstage with the wrestling business; his four sisters all married professional wrestlers.

Hart himself frequently described himself as "The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be" (derived from the 1984 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_in_film) film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film) The Natural (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Natural_(film))), which he justifies through three claims: he never injured an opponent through any fault of his own; through the entire course of his career he missed only two shows (both as a result of traffic and flight difficulties); and that he only once refused to lose a scripted match—his final WWF match at the Survivor Series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_Series_(1997)) event in 1997, which culminated in the now infamous Montreal Screwjob (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Screwjob).

Among other accolades, Hart is recognised by WWE as a seven-time World Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Heavyweight_Championship_(professional_wrest ling)), four-time United States Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_United_States_Championship), two-time Intercontinental Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Intercontinental_Championship) and three-time World Tag Team Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Tag_Team_Championship). He was also the winner of the first King of the Ring pay-per-view in 1993 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_the_Ring_(1993)), and the 1994 Royal Rumble (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Rumble_(1994)) co-winner. He is widely regarded as one of the most universally popular and gifted technical professional wrestlers of all time.

I'm going to just link to his wikipedia page at this point. There's a lot of hints to wrestlers, and it's just too early to give that info up at this point.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_Hart

[Flamesguy_SJ]

Which category are you drafting him in?

[Ronald Pagan]

Surprised it took that long for Bret Hart to be picked.

[Flamesguy_SJ]

Also, just to let you all know, HalifaxDrunk has been added to the draft, bringing us to 12 people.

1980s

[StoneCole]

Wow! All I can say is thanks guys. With our first round choice, Team Hulkamania selects (from the pre-1980's category), a man who needs no introduction:

Hulk Hogan

Ca9_2QgGNVQ

...with the exception of maybe (and it's a pretty strong maybe IMO) Stone Cold Steve Austin, I think no one else has had as much influence as the Hulkster on the importance of pro-wrestling to American pop culture.

[CMPunk]

Wow! All I can say is thanks guys. With our first round choice, team Hulkamania selects (from the pre-1980's category), a man who needs no introduction:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2OR6Kjo5m4&feature=PlayList&p=95A13FAF023C5044&index=0&playnext=1


An introduction, no, but you might wanna put his name in the post so people know he's been taken when they do a search

[StoneCole]

An introduction, no, but you might wanna put his name in the post so people know he's been taken when they do a search

yeah I was working on completing that post, you're awfully quick, goddam. Honestly though I thought the name "Team Hulkamania" would be a pretty dead giveaway.

[CMPunk]

yeah I was working on completing that post, you're awfully quick, goddam. Honestly though I thought the name "Team Hulkamania" would be a pretty dead giveaway.

LOL It is, but if people search the thread for Hogan or what not, they might not find your post is all.

[OILFAN #81]

EDIT: Wow, I can't believe a certain guy is still available.

Sorry about posting the video, my intention wasn't to spoil the draft, just was surprised he was still available.

[CMPunk]

I'm not in this(and I won't post any more/ruin this draft) but i'm surprised this guy hasn't been taken yet. Best entertainer of all time in wrestling history IMO and one of the top 5 wrestlers of all time IMO.



Too late...you already ruined it posting the vid:fist::censored:

[WindomURL]

I'm not in this draft, and I probably won't post any more either, but you really should remove that link Oilfan. It's not cool to spoil a draft!!! :fist:

[GreenTeaFrapp]

It's not cool to spoil a draft!!! :fist:

There are some ideas here on what to do to people who spoil drafts! :)

[droopydrew19]

12 the limit or can another get in on this?

[Flamesguy_SJ]

No, you're welcome to join in. Just know that you'll now be picking last.

[DAN0383]

Question about the Title Belts category. Are we picking a championship belt itself or any wrestler who has won any title?

[Flamesguy_SJ]

The title belt itself.

[SteveToms]

Are picking a title belt design or just the belt?

[Flamesguy_SJ]

Are picking a title belt design or just the belt?

That's actually a good idea. By picking designs you mean like the WWF "eagle" belt, the WWF "globe" belt, etc? I'm fine with that if you all are.

[DAN0383]

I'm down for that idea... I already have one in mind but I'm pretty sure no one else will pick it so I will save it for later on in the draft!

[getbak]

Can I get in on this, to make it 14 teams?

[Flamesguy_SJ]

Can I get in on this, to make it 14 teams?

Sure thing. I think that'll have to be it, though. 14 teams it is!

[SteveToms]

That's actually a good idea. By picking designs you mean like the WWF "eagle" belt, the WWF "globe" belt, etc? I'm fine with that if you all are.

I am, it gives us a lot more options.

[OILFAN #81]

I removed my link. I was pretty sure everyone knew about the guy's video who I posted and I was just surprised he wasn't taken yet. I removed it anyways. Sorry.

[HalifaxDrunk]

Bueller?...Bueller?...Bueller?

[SteveToms]

Dave's not here man.

[Superflyer]

Guess I am up, one question, if I draft someone do I get their personalities? Example, I draft Stone Cold do I get him as the Ringmaster, and as Steve Austin in the Hollywood Blondes?

[Superflyer]

Team Stylin' and Profilin' is proud to select in the first round, from Charlotte, North Carolina,
The Nature Boy Ric Flair

http://www.yardbarker.com/m/809/xl/flair-gold.jpg

Flair started wrestling in 1972 so he will fill my pre 80's category nicely.

Flair is among the most well known wrestlers in the world, and has been one of wrestling's biggest stars since the late 1970s.
Flair is recognized by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI) as a 16-time World Heavyweight Champion (8-time WCW Champion, 6-time NWA Champion, and 2-time WWE Champion) although his actual tally of World Championship reigns varies by source - some totaling as high as 21.

With my first selection, in the 1980-1990 category I am proud to select...

"Curt 'Mr.Perfect' Hennig"

With my first Selection team Piper's Pit Stains is happy to select in the 1980-1990 category the legend and my favorite wrestler as a kid:

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k249/awesomepeter/roddy.jpg

Roderick George Toombs (born April 17, 1954) better known by his ring name "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, is a semi-retired Canadian professional wrestler and film actor. Despite having no actual connection to Scotland, he was billed as coming from Glasgow, Scotland and was known for his signature kilt and bagpipe entrance music. He earned the nickname "Rowdy" by displaying his trademark "Scottish" rage, spontaneity, and quick wit, and was also nicknamed "Hot Rod". He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005 by Ric Flair.

Greatest ever Pipers Pit (with SuperFly)
LjWfARAhSdk
Piper started insulting Snuka's Polynesian heritage by bringing out pineapples, bananas, and dropping coconuts onto the table; this was to make Snuka "feel at home" in an act of "remorse" after Snuka was not given much time to speak the previous times he was on Piper's Pit. Snuka took offense to this and Piper then attacked Snuka by smashing him over the head with a coconut and shoving a banana in his face. He followed this up by whipping Snuka with his belt. Snuka was legitimately knocked woozy allowing Piper to leave before Snuka, now seriously enraged, could fight back.

In the tag Team division... Team Droopy's Dungeon selects.....

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n8/sjuiceman/HartFoundation.jpg

Manager "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Hart) had been using the name Hart Foundation to describe the stable of wrestlers that he managed before his arrival and did so early in his WWF stint. That usage was eclipsed, however, by the tag team (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_team) of Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart, managed by Jimmy Hart and originally a part of the larger Hart Foundation stable (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#S).
The Hart Foundation tag team began when Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Neidhart), already managed by Jimmy Hart, joined up with Bret "Hit Man" Hart (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_Hart) (whose sister he had already married)[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation#cite_note-neidhart-2) to form a heel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heel_(professional_wrestling)) tag team. The name Hart Foundation, already used by Jimmy Hart, derived from the fact that both wrestlers and manager had Hart in their family names.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation#cite_note-hartfoundation-0)
According to Bret Hart, the tag team originated after Bret turned down the "Cowboy" Bret Hart gimmick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#G) he was given, claiming that he didn't really take a liking to it.[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation#cite_note-3) He then suggested to WWF management that he would much prefer to be tag-teamed with Jim Neidhart. Management first laughed at the idea, claiming that Bret didn't have the heel look that was appropriate, but months later just as Bret was about to quit, he was given what he wanted: he was allowed to turn heel, and was partnered up with Neidhart and Jimmy to form the Hart Foundation.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation#cite_note-hartfoundation-0)
The Hart Foundation is regarded as one of the best tag teams during wrestling's 1980s heyday.[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation#cite_note-brethartbio-4) What set the Harts apart from their contemporaries was their respective wrestling styles - Neidhart was more of a brawler/power wrestler,[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation#cite_note-neidhart-2) whereas Bret on the other hand was a more agile, sound and polished technician who used ring psychology to his advantage.[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation#cite_note-5) This characteristic and uniqueness in the Hart Foundation was at that time rare yet successful, leading to two reigns (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_World_Tag_Team_Champions_(WWE)) as WWF Tag Team Champions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Tag_Team_Championship_(WWE)).[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation#cite_note-worldtagteam-6)
The Hart Foundation were involved in perhaps some of wrestling's greatest tag-team matches of all time, and they were constantly involved in feuds with various other teams including the British Bulldogs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Bulldogs), the Killer Bees (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Killer_Bees_(wrestling)), The Rockers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rockers), and the Rougeau Brothers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fabulous_Rougeaus).

[getbak]

Okay...to finish up Round 1, Team Malfunction Junction chooses in the Pre-80s Category...

From Grenoble, France, The Eighth Wonder of the World...Andre The Giant.

http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/images/dvds/andrethegiant.jpg

Andre Rousimoff was born in France in 1946. By the time he was 12 years old, Andre stood 6-foot-3 and weighed 200 pounds, the result of acromegaly, a disorder that causes the bones to grow at an accelerated rate, and to continue to grow beyond the age of physical maturity. He eventually topped 7 feet tall and weighed over 500 pounds.

While still a teenager, Andre moved to Paris to train as a wrestler. Andre soon became a worldwide sensation, becoming a top draw everywhere he traveled. In 1973, Andre signed with Vince McMahon Sr.'s WWWF, a company he remained a part of until his death 20 years later.

For the first 14 years of his WWWF/WWF career, Andre never lost a match via pinfall or submission (although, he did lose some matches that weren't under the WWF banner). His first WWF pinfall loss came at 1987's Wrestlemania 3, in front of a reported crowd in excess of 90,000 at the Pontiac Silverdome. Andre lost that match to Hulk Hogan, who retained the World Championship title.

bpSXE5_dqNI

In February 1988, Andre won his first and only World Championship, defeating Hulk Hogan. However, Andre (who was still a heel at the time) immediately handed the belt to The Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase. The title was stripped from both Andre and DiBiase, which led to a title tournament at Wrestlemania 4. As a result of all of that, Andre never defended his title.

As the 80s drew to a close, Andre's health faltered and his in-ring appearances became less frequent. Andre eventually succumbed to congestive heart failure in 1993, at the age of 46 (he was actually long-lived for someone with acromegaly).

Shortly after his death, Andre became the first inductee into the WWF Hall of Fame.

[getbak]

Now, to start Round 2, Team Malfunction Junction chooses in the 1991-2000 Category...

From Winnipeg, Manitoba, The Lion Heart...Y2J...Chris Jericho.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d6/Chris-jericho-photo.jpg/200px-Chris-jericho-photo.jpg

Born in 1970 in New York State, where his father (Ted Irvine) was a professional hockey player for the New York Rangers, Chris Irvine grew up on the mean streets of Winnipeg, Manitoba.

At the age of 19, Irvine moved to Calgary, where he began training with the Hart Brothers. Irvine took the ring name Chris Jericho, and started wrestling in front of small crowds throughout Western Canada. During his early career, Jericho worked in promotions in Mexico and Japan, as well as smaller regional promotions in North America.

In 1996, Jericho caught the eye of Mick Foley, who recommended Jericho to Paul Heyman, owner of the upstart Extreme Championship Wrestling. Jericho's time in ECW was short-lived because WCW quickly came calling, with Ted Turner's open cheque book.

Jericho debuted in WCW in August 1996, and quickly caught the audience's eye, becoming a force in the Cruiserweight Division. Jericho had many memorable feuds in his early years with WCW, most notably one with Dean Malenko, who was billed as "The Man of 1000 Holds". To goad Malenko, Jericho claimed to be "The Man of 1004 Holds"...and would recite some of his many holds, most of which were arm bars, the rest of which were mostly made up...

faaDz7p5X3A

"The Saskatchewan Spinning Nerve Hold" :D

Eventually, Jericho went on to hold the WCW Cruiserweight belt 4 times, and the Television Title once.


In early 1999, Jericho was heavily courted by the WWF, and he eventually signed a long-term contract to work with the McMahons. Jericho's debut was promoted through the use of a digital countdown clock that promised the beginning of the New Millennium. On August 9, 1999, Jericho had probably one of the most memorable debuts in WWF history, interrupting a promo being given by The Rock...

-pMul97Nu2w

"It doesn't matter what your name is!"


On December 9, 2001, Jericho did something no one expected him to do at the time, and in one night, defeated The Rock for the World Championship Title (the former WCW belt), and Stone Cold Steve Austin for the WWF Title to become the First "Undisputed" World Champion. At Wrestlemania 18 on St Patrick's Day, 2002 in Toronto (I was there), Jericho lost the Undisputed title to Triple H.

A confrontation between a couple of Winnipeg boys...
y-RzPCLAw4E


Jericho has held virtually every major WWF/WWE Title during his career, including the Intercontinental Title a record eight times. He was also named the WWE Wrestler of the Year at the 2008 Slammy Awards in December.

Here are all of the titles Jericho has held...

ECW Television Championship (1 Time)
WCW Television Championship (1 Time)
WCW Cruiserweight Championship (4 Times)
WCW Championship (2 Times)
European Championship (1 Time)
World Tag Team Championship (3 Times)
Intercontinental Championship (8 Times)
WWE Championship (1 Time)
Undisputed World Championship (1 Time)
World Heavyweight Championship (2 Times)

Concerning Mr.Irvine... "Armbar!". Hehe.
My next pick will definately be in the 91-2000 category and I am really struggling between two guys, wish I could pick them both, gotta find a loophole hehe.

[VANFLAMESFAN]

I miss the Rock. I was huge into WWE, went to Wrestlemania in Seatlle, went to a Smackdown in Seattle, saw Raw in Vancouver twice, and the Rock Bottom PPV. He was the best. So good on the mic and got the best crowd reactions and always put on an entertaining match despite having pretty limited wrestling skills.

If he were to come back, I would revert back to my old ways of watching every Raw, Smackdown and PPV event. It will never happen, but I can dream.

If you're not down with that, we got two words for yah!....SUCK IT!

http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Backstage/1687/DX2.jpg

On October 13, 1997, the group officially gave themselves the name "Degeneration X" with Shawn Michaels as the leader. Michaels' autobiography suggests that it was then-WWF head writer Vince Russo who first conceived the moniker for the faction. On-screen, however, the name was taken from Bret Hart, who claimed that Shawn Michaels and Triple H were nothing more than degenerates. It was also the first time they spoke their trademark slogan, "Suck it!" They were often shown on television practicing sophomoric/crude humor and rebelling against authority figures in the company, primarily Vince McMahon (then an on-air color commentator) and then-Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter, the latter of which DX made a particular habit of humiliating with the group giving him the nickname of "Sgt. Slobber". D-Generation X's first feud was against Bret Hart and his Hart Foundation. This feud ended at Survivor Series when Shawn Michaels won his third WWF Championship in the Montreal Screwjob, which came about from Bret leaving the company along with two of the remaining three members of the Foundation.

http://www.ripthesystem.com/wrestling/wcw/sting3.jpg

Steve Borden[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Borden#cite_note-SLAM-1) (born March 20, 1959)[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Borden#cite_note-SLAM-1) better known by his ring name (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_name) Sting, is an American (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) professional wrestler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling), currently under contract with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Nonstop_Action_Wrestling), where he is the current reigning TNA World Heavyweight Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNA_World_Heavyweight_Championship).[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Borden#cite_note-TNAbio-0)
As a singles wrestler, Sting has technically won a total of thirteen World Heavyweight Championships (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Heavyweight_Championship_(professional_wrest ling)) in various promotions, though only ten of these reigns are recognized as "World" title reigns by Pro Wrestling Illustrated (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro_Wrestling_Illustrated). He is a two-time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NWA_World_Heavyweight_Champions) NWA Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NWA_World_Heavyweight_Championship), six-time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WCW_World_Heavyweight_Champions) WCW Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_World_Heavyweight_Championship), and two-time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNA_World_Heavyweight_Championship#Title_history) (and current) TNA Champion.

Team "TBTI, TBTW, TBTEWB" selects...

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/35/Nwologo.jpg

The New World Order (commonly known as the nWo, the official typeset in the logo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo)) was a professional wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling) stable (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#S) that originally wrestled for World Championship Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Championship_Wrestling) (WCW). The group later appeared in World Wrestling Entertainment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wrestling_Entertainment) (WWE) after the purchase of WCW by WWE.

The stable's gimmick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#G) was a group of unsanctioned wrestlers aiming to "take over" and control WCW in the manner of a street gang (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_gang); the group's seven initial members had each gained fame in the rival World Wrestling Federation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wrestling_Entertainment), although this connection was only implied.

The nWo angle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#A) was one of the most influential forces in the late 1990s success of WCW, and was instrumental in turning mainstream American wrestling back into a more mature, adult-oriented product. The brainchild of WCW Executive Eric Bischoff (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Bischoff), and fueled initially by the unexpected heel turn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heel_(professional_wrestling)) of Hulk Hogan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulk_Hogan), the nWo storyline is generally considered one of the most successful angles in the history of modern-day professional wrestling, spawning several imitations and parodies. It dominated WCW programming throughout the late-1990s and almost until the dissolution of WCW in 2001, during which time there were several, sometimes rival incarnations of the group; the rival WWF (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wrestling_Entertainment) even resurrected the angle for a time in 2002.

More here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_World_Order_(professional_wrestling)

While in the nWo, members won 8 WCW World Titles, 4 WCW US Titles, 2 WCW TV Titles, 1 WCW Cruiserweight Championship, 11 WCW Tag Team Championships, and the Main Event at WCW "World War" 3 times.

[HalifaxDrunk]

New World Order (commonly known as the nWo, the official typeset in the logo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo))
I really debated between them and my Stable DX. I picked DX just for their humorous factor. I also didn't like how the nWo eventually seemed to include anyone who wanted in. I like that DX stayed pretty much the same (with the exception of the bad decision of adding Tori & Stephanie McMahon).

I could have gone with my favourite current wrestler, but the nWo is arguably the reason there was the Monday Night Wars. Ratings were at an all time high due to the WCW vs WWE, with WCW coming out on top for over a year. No nWo, no boom in the wrestling biz.

Team Kayfabe is proud to select, in the 2000-2009 category, Samoa Joe.

http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/pictures/s/samoajoe/36.jpg


Nuufolau Joel Seanoa[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samoa_Joe#cite_note-4) (born March 17, 1979)[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samoa_Joe#cite_note-Slambio-0) is an American (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) professional wrestler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling), better known by his ring name (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_name), Samoa Joe. He is currently under contract with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Nonstop_Action_Wrestling) performing in their Heavyweight division (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavyweight).
Before debuting in TNA in June 2005, Seannoa competed in the Ring of Honor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_of_Honor) (ROH) independent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_circuit) promotion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling_promotion), where he held the ROH World Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROH_World_Championship) for a record 21 months. Upon joining TNA, Seannoa embarked upon an 18 month-long undefeated streak, in which he never lost a match by pinfall (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_%28professional_wrestling%29) or submission (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submission_%28combat_sport%29). That streak came to an end at the Genesis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNA_Genesis) event in 2006 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNA_Genesis#2006), when he tapped out to Kurt Angle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Angle)'s ankle lock submission hold (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling_holds#Ankle_lock).
Throughout his career, Seanoa has won numerous championships, either on the independent circuit or on the national scene. During his time in ROH, not only did Seannoa win the ROH World Championship but he also won the ROH Pure Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROH_Pure_Championship). His efforts in TNA have made him a one-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNA_World_Heavyweight_Championship), a three-time TNA X Division Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNA_X_Division_Championship), and a one-time TNA World Tag Team Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNA_World_Tag_Team_Championship). He also won the 2005 Super X Cup Tournament (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNA_2005_Super_X_Cup_Tournament), the 2008 King of the Mountain match (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_the_Mountain_match#Match_history) (the only one to retain a championship in the match), and the TNA Triple Crown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_Crown_Championship#List_of_TNA_Triple_Crown _winners).

the greatest wrestling event of the year. It's the one time of year that wrestling fans and non-wrestling fans alike can get together to watch a non-stop spectacle, and if for no other reason put money on a randomized outcome. The Royal Rumble.

What helps set the rumble apart from any other PPV is not only the fact that there's a 30 man battle royale with a new wrestler entering the ring every minute and a half to two minutes (depending on the year). But the fact that you and you friends can make it even more interesting by placing bets.

Now we all know that wrestling has a scripted outcome. However what you do is get everyone to draw numbers out of a hat (numbers 1-30) then each wrestler that draws the same number you do is on your team. Everyone puts in a predetermined amount of money for the pot. The if the winner of the rumble is on your randomly drawn team, you win the pot.

Sometimes a variance is made where 2/3 of the pot goes to the person with the winner wrestler, and 1/3 of the pot goes to the person who has the wrestler who was in the ring the longest amount of time.

For Royal Rumble 21, not only did I have Shawn Michaels drawn to my team, but with everyone believing that Tripple H was going to take the Rumble, I just missed him (HHH was 29) having drawn #30. Then John Cena came out at 30, back three month early from rehab, completely out of left feild, cleaned house, and I took home not only the money for longest wrestler, but winning wrestler as well.

It was a great PPV with a great fiscal outcome for myself personally. I might not really follow wrestling much anymore, however I always make time for the Royal Rumble, regardless if I know the storylines or not.

Hey guys, I'm hopefully going to be travelling all day tomorrow, so if you guys could look after yourselves that'd be great. If my pick comes up before you hear from me, just AK me and I'll pick when I get back.

So, no low blows or foreign objects in the ring while the referee's back is turned ;)

With my second pick in the draft, I am proud to select in the 1980 - 1990 category – Bam Bam Bigelow

6tgqG6e6ZMM
"The Beast From The East," Bam Bam Bigelow was known for his massive size and trademark tatooed forehead, which bore red and yellow flames that matched his ring attire. Bigelow was a rarity in the world of professional wrestling: a big man who could stand toe-to-toe in the ring with such equally massive combatants as Andre The Giant and The Undertaker, he also moved with the same agility of much smaller wrestlers like Rey Mysterio and Sean "X-Pac" Waltman.
Before retiring in 2002, Bam Bam enjoyed a long and successful career. He wrestled in all of the "big three" wrestling promotions — WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment); WCW (World Championship Wrestling); and ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling), as well as overseas in places like Japan, where he worked successful programs with other big men like Big Van Vader in such promotions as New Japan Wrestling.
His biggest years, however, were in the nineties, with the then World Wrestling Federation. In Vince McMahon's WWF, he most often worked as a despised wrestling "heel" (the wrestling vernacular for "bad guy"). During his WWF tenure, Bigelow was managed by equally colorful characters like Sir Oliver Humperdink, a short, fat little man with a penchant for big cigars and loud Hawaiian shirts; and Luna Vachon, the "psychotic" female with flamed tattoos that matched Bigelow's own.
Bigelow worked matches with most of the biggest WWF names, such as Bret "Hitman" Hart (who praised his wrestling ability as being remarkable for such a big man), The Undertaker, and Hulk Hogan. In these matches, Bigelow would run the ring with the agility of a man half his size, doing somersaults and flying off of the ropes. His arsenal of wrestling moves even included a textbook moonsault, a move popularized by smaller wrestlers of the Lucha Libre discipline, and one that most wrestlers his size would not even dare to attempt.
On the morning of January 19 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_19), 2007 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007), Bigelow was found dead in his home

With my third pick in the draft, I am proud to select in the 2001- 2009 category – The Phenomenal AJ Styles

XPjPEvr238Q


“A.J. Styles is the embodiment of the X Division which is all about no limits. His wrestling style is very fast paced with high impact maneuvers that are incredible to look at. He found immediate success in TNA, winning both the inaugural X Division and Tag Team Championship Tournaments. His wrestling style quickly established TNA as an alternative to the WWE product. The fans knew that regardless of whatever else was on the show, A.J. Styles would have an incredible match worth watching.
Even though he is in TNA, he spends his time wrestling for various indy federations in the U.S. and is usually in their main events. Any indy federation he works with gets an immediate bump in popularity and credibility by him being there. His hard work has helped make Ring of Honor a very respected indy federation that in many fans eyes is the best promotion in all of wrestling.”

Posting from my iPod again, so you're just getting a name for now.

And that name is Hunter Hearst Helmsley, better known as Triple H. My 1990s pick.


Wow...i thought Hunter had been taken by now

Already in his short career John Cena ranks 5 on the list of WWE champions with a combined reign of 793 days (source: wikipedia)...beyond only fellow team member Hulk Hogan, and a bunch of old-school guys.

He is my favorite wrestler of all time, he gave it his all every time that he was in the ring and he left it all in there, sometime literally. He will fill my 1991-2000 spot with broken bones, concussions and baseball bats wrapped in barbwire.

Team Pipers Pit Stains is happy to bring in one of the greatest most dynamic Tag Teams ever:

The Steiner Brothers
http://www.ugo.com/tv/dominant-tag-teams/images/The-steiner-brothers.jpg

One of the most electrifying and death-defying teams in sports entertainment was born in Bay City, Michigan, as hulked-up brothers Scott and Rick Steiner dominated the competition on the University of Michigan wrestling team. After leaving college, the brothers turned pro, and the tandem went on to revolutionize the sport forever. Combining a hard-hitting style with amazing agility, the brothers are the only team in history to have won the WWE, WCW and IWGP Tag Team Titles. With Rick's incredible power and Scott's innovative offense (the Frankensteiner is named after him, don't you know), their feuds with Harlem Heat, the Outsiders, and Money, Inc. are the stuff of legends. Appearances in ECW only served to increase their fame, and after a split in 1997 the duo have recently reformed in TNA, with Scott and Rick as muscle-bound and deadly as ever.

For much of his tenure in the WWF, he was managed by his real life (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legit_(professional_wrestling)) wife, "Miss Elizabeth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Elizabeth)" Hulette.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-OWOW-2)
Savage became instantly recognizable by wrestling fans for his distinctively deep, husky voice; colorful attire (often comprised of sunglasses and a bandanna, gaudy robes, and/or a cowboy hat); intensity exhibited in and out of the ring; and his signature catch phrase "Oooh, yeah!"[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-OWOW-2)
Savage is a six-time world champion, with four WCW title reigns and two WWF title reigns. In WWF, he was a 2 time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WWE_Champions) WWF Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Championship),[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-wwetitle-3)[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-machotitle-4) a 1 time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WWE_Intercontinental_Champions) Intercontinental Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Intercontinental_Championship)[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-ictitle-5)[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-machotitle-4) and the winner of the 1987 King of the Ring tournament (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_the_Ring#1987).[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-kotr-6)[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-machotitle-4) In WCW, he was a 4 time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WCW_World_Heavyweight_Champions) WCW World Heavyweight Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_World_Heavyweight_Championship)[8] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-wcwtitle-7)[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-machotitle-4) and the winner of the 1995 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_World_War_3#1995) World War 3 battle royal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_World_War_3).[9] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-savagewcw1-8)[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-machotitle-4) A WWE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE) DVD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD) documentary of Savage is scheduled for a June 9, 2009 (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=June_9,_2009&action=edit&redlink=1) release according to PWInsider (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PWInsider&action=edit&redlink=1).

I have to say that is a terrible pick this early in the draft.

[CaptainCrunch]

Trust me Morrison will be huge in the WWE down the road, Miz will end up as a jobber for the stars.

Putting those two against Crime Tyme which is one of the worst gimmicks since the Ding Dongs has really stuffed their momentum.

[Flamesguy_SJ]

Who else are they going to put them against though? There really aren't that many real tag teams in WWE right now.

[killer_carlson]

what Morrison might be in time is one thing, but to select that team this early in the draft with the huge number of all time great tag teams still out there......this is a pick that could have waited until late in the game.

[Prototype]

I don't think he's questioned the choice. Just this early, Miz and Morrison wouldn't be on the radar of a lot of people. I'd rather have Macho Man than Miz and Morrison... Could have waited.

But, grab them when you want. Someone may have snatched them up in the next round... who knows.

In the 90's division Team Droopy's Dungeon selects oooooohhhhhh Yeahhhhh

Macho Man Randy Savage. Full write up to follow asap
Sorry Drew, I don't mean to cause you any trouble but I guess I'm a little confused on the rules. I figured The Macho Man would only be available in the 80's category.



The decade categories apply to the year of the wrestler's debut in one of WWE/F, WCW, ECW, and TNA.


I thought about taking Savage with my last pick but already had Piper in the 80's decade. He made his WWF debut in 1985, I know he did make his WCW debut in 1994 but does that really count?

If a wrestler makes a debut in one company then moves to another does that count as a new debut?

I.E. - Flamesguy_SJ took Kurt Angle in the 1991-2000 category (his ECW debut was in 1996) but could he move him to the 2001-2009 category for his TNA debut in 2006?

[droopydrew19]

Savage Debuted in WCW in 1994

World Championship Wrestling (1994-2000)


Sporadic feuds (1994-1996)

Savage signed with WCW, and his first appearance was slated for Starrcade 1994 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starrcade#1994), for which TV announcers speculated whether Savage would arrive to "shake [Hogan's] hand or slap his face". Savage eventually saved Hogan from an attack by the 3 Faces of Fear (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_Faces_of_Fear), shaking hands with his friend and rival. His first WCW feud (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feud_(professional_wrestling)) was against Avalanche (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tenta). At SuperBrawl V (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperBrawl#SuperBrawl_V), he teamed up with Sting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Borden) and took on Avalanche and Big Bubba Rogers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Traylor) in a tag team (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_team) match, which Sting and Savage won.[58] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-57) However, his encounter with Avalanche continued and ended at Uncensored 1995 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncensored#1995), with Savage getting the win by disqualification after a fan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ric_Flair) attacked Savage.[59] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-58) It happened to be Ric Flair and Savage resumed his WWF rivalry with Flair in WCW.
He participated in the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship tournament (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_United_States_Championship) (created when former champion Vader (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Van_Vader) was stripped of the belt for attacking WCW on-air Commissioner Nick Bockwinkel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Bockwinkel)) and went on to defeat The Butcher (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Leslie) in the first round[60] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-ustitletournament-59) and "Stunning" Steve Austin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Cold_Steve_Austin) in the quarterfinals.[60] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-ustitletournament-59) However, Savage interfered in Flair's match vs. Alex Wright (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Wright). He attacked Flair and caused Wright to get disqualified, setting up a tournament semifinal match where the winner would face the winner of the Sting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Borden) vs. Meng (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonga_Fifita) match for the United States Championship at The Great American Bash (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_American_Bash) that June. Savage and Flair's match never took place, as Savage and Flair brawled in the backstage area prior to the bell ringing.[60] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-ustitletournament-59) They were both eliminated from the tournament, and had their own match in the main event of The Great American Bash 1995 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_American_Bash#1995), which Flair won with underhanded tactics.[61] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-60) However, Savage defeated Flair in a Lifeguard Lumberjack match (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling_match_types#lumberjack_matc h) at Bash at the Beach 1995 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_at_the_Beach#1995).[62] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-61) Later that year, during part of the storyline where Arn Anderson and Ric Flair turned on each other, Flair (looking for a partner to take on Anderson and Brian Pillman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Pillman) in a tag match) tried to recruit Savage to be his partner. Remembering the rivalry (and how Flair had attacked Savage's father, Angelo Poffo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelo_Poffo), which was the catalyst for their feud back in May), he refused, telling Flair point blank to "get the hell out of here!"
In 1995, Savage pushed for WCW to place his father, Angelo Poffo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelo_Poffo), in its Hall of Fame (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_Hall_of_Fame). Commentator and wrestling legend Gordon Solie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Solie) opposed this decision, because he felt wrestlers (or in this case, family of wrestlers) should not be asking for spots in the Hall, in this case, especially, since Poffo did not have much of a career in WCW. Poffo's induction went on and Solie left the company shortly after. At World War 3 1995 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_World_War_3#1995), Savage won his first WCW World Heavyweight Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_World_Heavyweight_Championship) by winning the first-ever 60-man three-ring battle royal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_royal_(professional_wrestling)#World_War_3) .[9] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-savagewcw1-8)[63] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-62) He lost the title to Flair a month later at Starrcade 1995: World Cup of Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starrcade#1995).[64] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-63) Savage won his second WCW World Heavyweight Championship back from Flair on the January 22, 1996 edition of Nitro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_Monday_Nitro)[65] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-64)[66] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-65) but lost the title back to Flair the next month in a steel cage match (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling_match_types#Cages) at SuperBrawl VI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperBrawl#SuperBrawl_VI).[67] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-66)
In January 1996, Savage brought Elizabeth with him into WCW as his valet once again. Elizabeth turned on Savage in his last title loss to Flair. Thereafter, Flair claimed that Elizabeth had given him a sizable amount of Savage's money, taken in their divorce settlement, which Flair used to set up a "VIP section" at Monday Nitro events. Flair and Savage continued to feud until June 1996. At Bash at the Beach 1996 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_at_the_Beach_(1996)), the nWo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_World_Order_(professional_wrestling)) was formed when Hulk Hogan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulk_Hogan) turned on Savage, Sting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Borden), and Lex Luger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lex_Luger) and joined "The Outsiders (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Outsiders_(professional_wrestling))", a tag team of former WWF wrestlers Kevin Nash (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Nash) and Scott Hall (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Hall).[68] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-67) After their inception, one of their main enemies became Macho Man himself. At Halloween Havoc 1996 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_Havoc#1996), Savage faced Hogan for the WCW title but lost when the Giant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Wight) interfered and chokeslammed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chokeslam) him.[69] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage#cite_note-68)
After the loss at Halloween Havoc, Savage departed WCW as his two year deal had expired. Ultimately Savage resigned with WCW and would return to television on the January 20, 1997 edition of Nitro emanating from Chicago's United Center (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Center).

I respect your opinion regarding the all time greats BUT, I make my selections based on who are MY favourites, doesn't have to be all time greats. I'm pretty sure I could have got Regal and Hennig much later in the draft and taken HBK's and Savage's etc early but I didn't want to. Heck, I almost took Regal 1st round!

J-E-Double-F, J-A Double-R, E Double-T!

http://www.wrestlingworld.it/Speciali/Sting/articoli/titantron/01Sting%20vs%20Jeff%20Jarrett.jpg


In June 2002, Jarrett and his father created a limited-liability company, J Sports and Entertainment, and opened a new professional wrestling promotion, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). TNA aired in a weekly pay-per-view format until May 2004, when the promotion negotiated a television deal with Fox Sports Net and began broadcasting TNA Impact!. In November 2004, TNA began airing monthly pay-per-views instead of weekly pay-per-views, and in October 2005 Impact! moved to Spike TV. Panda Energy acquired a controlling interest in TNA in 2002, although Jarrett remained a minority owner.

In early 2005, Jarrett formed a dominant stable known as Planet Jarrett with Monty Brown, The Outlaw, and, later, Rhino. Jarrett also uses the phrase "Planet Jarrett" to refer to TNA as a whole, reflecting his real-life stake in the company and his prominent role within the promotion. Despite his efforts to hold on to the title, however, he lost it back to long-time rival Styles on May 15, 2005.

Jarrett won his fourth NWA World Heavyweight Championship on September 15, 2005, defeating Raven at a Border City Wrestling event. He lost the title to Rhino at Bound for Glory on October 23, but regained it on the November 3 episode of Impact!. Jarrett's reign lasted until Against All Odds on February 12, 2006, when he was defeated by Christian Cage. In the following months, Jarrett feuded with Sting, who had declared that Jarrett was a "cancer" in TNA. In the course of the feud, Scott Steiner debuted in TNA as an ally of Jarrett.

For Team Stylin' and Proflin' we are proud to select as our "Personality"
Mr. Vincent Kennedy McMahon

http://mrchevyceleb.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/vm.jpg

In 1968, he graduated from East Carolina University with a business degree and after a nondescript career as a traveling salesman, he was eager to assume a managerial role in his father’s World Wide Wrestling Federation promotion (although Vince Sr. was not thrilled with the idea of his son entering the business). Nevertheless, he was assigned to a small territory in Maine, where he promoted his first card in 1971. Early in his wrestling career, McMahon served as the in-ring announcer. He later became the play-by-play announcer for television matches after he replaced Ray Morgan in 1971, a role he would regularly maintain until November 1997.
Throughout the 1970s, McMahon became the prominent force in his father's company, and over the next decade, Vince assisted his father in tripling TV syndication. He pushed for the renaming of the company to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). The young McMahon was also behind the Muhammad Ali versus Antonio Inoki match of 1976. In 1979, Vince purchased the Cape Cod Coliseum, where he promoted hockey games and concerts in addition to pro wrestling, as he began to prove that he was capable of running the WWF after his father’s retirement. By 1980, Titan Sports was incorporated; in 1982, a 37-year old McMahon led Titan’s acquisition of the Capitol Wrestling Co. from his ailing father (who died in May 1984), as he and his wife Linda McMahon took control of the World Wrestling Federation.

There is no doubt there is no bigger Personality in wrestling history then Mr. McMahon.

Team Hulkamania is gonna' go maybe off the board a bit here, and with the first pick from the Storyline category, we select:

Stone Cold Steve Austin Feud with Mr. McMahon (late nineties).

It's amazing anything could make a guy (and I'm talking about myself here) go from absolutely hating a guy (Austin - during his feud with the then heel Bret Hart......I still remember going to the "In Your House: Canadian Stampede PPV" at the dome...possibly my fav. live event of all time, but I digress), to loving him, is pretty amazing.

The impact that this storyline had on the popularity of pro wrestling is undeniable...I think at the time the Monday Night Wars were in full swing, but I would argue this is the angle that really pushed pro wrestling over the top.

Anyhow, a good place to read a bit about it is the Austin wikipedia page:

Tag Team

http://www.x-entertainment.com/pics5/wwe11click.jpg

Demolition is a professional wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling) tag team (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_team) most prominent during the late 1980s / early 1990s in World Wrestling Federation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wrestling_Entertainment) (WWF) made up of Ax (Bill Eadie) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Eadie), Smash (Barry Darsow) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Darsow), and later Crush (Brian Adams) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Adams_(wrestler)). In WWF, Demolition were three-time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_World_Tag_Team_Champions_(WWE)) Tag Team Champions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Tag_Team_Championship_(WWE)), and hold the record for the single longest reign.[9] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demolition_(professional_wrestling)#cite_note-worldtagteam-8) In 2007, Ax and Smash reunited for several appearances at various independent shows and legends conventions.


Randy Colley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Colley) and Bill Eadie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Eadie) created the Demolition gimmick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#G) and worked for World Wrestling Federation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wrestling_Entertainment) (WWF). They debuted as a heel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heel_(professional_wrestling)) tag team (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_team) on January 17 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_17), 1987 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1987) edition of Superstars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWF_Superstars_of_Wrestling), alongside manager (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manager_(professional_wrestling)) Lucious Johnny V (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_L._Sullivan_(wrestler)), defeating the team of Salvatore Bellomo and Mario Mancini. Demolition wore studded black outfits and black hockey masks to the ring, which they removed to reveal face paint usually comprised of some combination of either black, white, red, or gray colors, though other colors were sometimes included. After only a few matches, Colley was replaced with Barry Darsow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Darsow). In an RF Video shoot interview with Eadie and Darsow, Eadie claimed that Colley was replaced because he was recognizable to the fans as the man who previously performed as Moondog Rex. The WWF pitched a few potential replacements to Eadie, but he felt fans would recognize the suggested replacements. Eadie felt that many WWF fans would not recognize Darsow, who left Jim Crocket Promotions following a dispute in order to take over the role of Smash.


Demolition proved to be a dominant tag team since their debut. At WrestleMania IV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania_IV), Ax and Smash defeated Strike Force (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strike_Force_(professional_wrestling)) (Rick Martel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Martel) and Tito Santana (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tito_Santana)) to win their first (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_World_Tag_Team_Champions_(WWE)) WWF Tag Team Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Tag_Team_Championship_(WWE)), thus starting their domination as champions. As champions, they easily defeated a number of the top teams of the WWF, which at the time had a very talent-rich and hotly contested tag division, most notably British Bulldogs and Hart Foundation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation) (Bret Hart (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_Hart) and Jim Neidhart (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Neidhart)).

Their first big challenge came in the summer of 1988, when Powers of Pain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powers_of_Pain) (the Warlord (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Szopinski) and the Barbarian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sione_Vailahi)) entered the WWF and challenged them for the Tag Team Championship. Sensing that his team could not defeat these new challengers, Mr. Fuji turned on Demolition at Survivor Series 1988 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_Series_(1988)) and began to manage the Powers of Pain. Demolition turned (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#T) babyfaces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_(professional_wrestling)) as a result of this betrayal by Mr. Fuji and defeated the Powers of Pain & Mr. Fuji in a tag team handicap match at WrestleMania V (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania_V) to retain the WWF Tag Team Championship. Prior to this, Ax and Smash also memorably squared off against each other as entrants #1 and #2 in the Royal Rumble match (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Rumble#Match) at Royal Rumble 1989 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Rumble_(1989)) before being joined in the ring by André the Giant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_the_Giant).


Demolition became the longest reigning WWF Tag Team Champions after breaking the record of The Valiant Brothers (Jimmy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Valiant) and Johnny (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_L._Sullivan_(wrestler))), and lasting a reign of 478 days (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_World_Tag_Team_Championship_(WWE)_reigns_b y_length). They finally dropped (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#D) the titles to Brain Busters in a two-out-of-three-falls match (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_out_of_three_falls_match) on July 29 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_29) edition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Saturday_Night%27s_Main_Event_results#Saturday _Night.27s_Main_Event_XXII) of Saturday Night's Main Event.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demolition_(professional_wrestling)#cite_note-demolition-0)[24] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demolition_(professional_wrestling)#cite_note-23) Demolition started a feud with André the Giant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_the_Giant) and The Twin Towers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twin_Towers_(professional_wrestling)) (Akeem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Gray_(wrestler)) and Big Bossman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Traylor)). At SummerSlam 1989 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SummerSlam_(1989)), Jim Duggan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Duggan) and Demolition defeated André and Twin Towers in a six man tag team match. Demolition focused on regaining the tag titles and restarted their feud with Brain Busters. On November 4 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_4) edition of Superstars (taped on October 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_2)), Demolition defeated Brain Busters to regain their tag titles back and win their second WWF Tag Team Championship.

With our 4th selection, in the Tag Team category, Shotgun Saturday Night chooses The Rockers.

http://www.derok.net/derek3/images/classics/wwf%20rockers.jpg


The Rockers were a professional wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling) tag team (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_team) consisting of Shawn Michaels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shawn_Michaels) and Marty Jannetty (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marty_Jannetty) that teamed from 1985 to 1991. The team worked for Central States Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_of_America_Sports_Attractions), the American Wrestling Association (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Wrestling_Association), Continental Wrestling Federation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_Championship_Wrestling), Continental Wrestling Association (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_Wrestling_Association) and the World Wrestling Federation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wrestling_Entertainment).


In 1992, the team had a violent “on screen” break up that helped propel Shawn Michaels into the singles ranks with the “Heartbreak Kid” gimmick that he still uses today. After the break up Michaels and Jannetty had an on again, off again feud due to Jannetty leaving the WWF on more than one occasion. In 1996, Jannetty teamed up with Leif Cassidy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Snow) to form The New Rockers but the team never achieved much success in the WWF and ended later that same year.


In 2005, the Rockers reunited for one night but nothing more came of it because Jannety was released by the WWE. In 2006, Jannetty was slated to return and work an extended angle, teaming with Michaels against Vince (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_McMahon) and Shane McMahon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shane_McMahon) but only made 2 televised appearances before being released from his contract.

[GreenTeaFrapp]

With it's fourth pick, Team Kayfabe selects, in the 1991-2000 category, Jushin Thunder Liger.

http://www.njpw.co.jp/prof/img/liger/001.jpg

Keiichi Yamada (山田恵一 ,Yamada Keiichi? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Japanese), born November 30, 1964), better known as Jushin Liger (獣神ライガー ,Jūshin Raigā? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Japanese)) and later, Jushin "Thunder" Liger (獣神サンダー・ライガー ,Jūshin Sandā Raigā? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Japanese)) is a Japanese professional wrestler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling_in_Japan) who works primarily for New Japan Pro Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Japan_Pro_Wrestling).

wqq2eWbN-vs
Career


Early career

Yamada was an amateur wrestler while studying in high school. He applied to New Japan Pro Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Japan_Pro_Wrestling) to become a professional wrestler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling) in the early 1980s. He was not accepted because he did not meet the height requirements they had at that time. Yamada was determined not to give up his dream of becoming a professional wrestler, so he left for Mexico (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico) and began his training there. By his own account, he was almost starving while studying there, so NJPW officials who were visiting took pity on him and asked him to come back to Japan. While continuing his studies, he had his debut match in December 1984 at the age of 20. He began studying various martial arts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_arts) styles because he wanted to add something new and different to his wrestling style, which is how he learned his Rolling Koppou Kick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling_attacks#Rolling_wheel_kick) .
He left for England (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England) in 1986 where he wrestled for All-Star Promotions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-Star_Promotions) as "Flying" Fuji Yamada. After returning to Japan, he debuted his Shooting Star Press in 1987, for which he had gotten the idea from reading the manga (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manga) Fist of the North Star (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fist_of_the_North_Star). He left for Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada) early 1989, where he wrestled in Stu Hart (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stu_Hart)'s Stampede Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stampede_Wrestling) under his real name. He also trained under Hart in Hart's legendary "Dungeon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hart_House_%28Alberta%29#The_Dungeon)." His experiences there led him to refer to Hart as a "very, very tough man." NJPW called him back to Japan, as they needed him for a gimmick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#G) based on an extremely popular anime (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime) superhero (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superhero), Jushin Liger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jushin_Liger_%28anime%29), created by celebrated mangaka (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangaka) Go Nagai (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_Nagai). NJPW had done this previously with Tiger Mask (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_Mask), which had become a huge success. Yamada was given a superhero-like full body costume & demonic looking mask, resembling the superhero type featured in tokusatsu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokusatsu) and anime programs.

New Japan Pro Wrestling

Jushin Liger debuted in New Japan Pro Wrestling on April 24, 1989. In his debut match, he defeated Kuniaki Kobayashi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuniaki_Kobayashi). Afer using the Jushin Liger gimmick the anime progressed, and as the Go Nagai anime progressed, the hero powered up and changed three times. As the hero changed so did Liger. First to Fire Liger then to the character gimmick he goes by today, Jushin Thunder Liger. He quickly became one of NJPW's top Junior Heavyweights, eventually capturing the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Title eleven times among numerous other titles and accolades while wrestling around the world. When appearing without his mask on, Yamada blocks his appearance by covering his face with one hand. Early on, Yamada's style mostly consisted of high flying. Later on, he started adapting more power moves and started focusing more on grappling and telling a story in the ring, part this change was due to fact that Liger had to reduce the stress he was putting on his body after brain tumor surgery.
Liger has won two Super J Cup (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_J_Cup) tournaments – the 1995 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_J_Cup#1995) and 2000 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_J_Cup#2000) events.
During 2000, as booker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#B) Riki Chōshū (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riki_Ch%C5%8Dsh%C5%AB) decided to de-emphasize the junior heavyweight division (a costly decision that diminished its credibility), Liger wrestled heavyweights without wearing the upper part of his bodysuit or his mask horns.
From 2001-2007, Liger was the leader of the NJPW heel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heel_%28professional_wrestling%29) stable Control Terrorism Unit (CTU) along with Hirooki Goto (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirooki_Goto), Minoru Tanaka (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoru_Tanaka_%28wrestler%29), Black Tiger IV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Romero), Gedo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keiji_Takayama), Jado (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoji_Akiyoshi), Prince Devitt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fergal_Devitt) and briefly James Gibson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Noble). CTU was disbanded in August 2007, when Liger decided CTU would disband while at the top of NJPW, Liger would then join Masahiro Chono (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masahiro_Chono)'s Legend stable.
On June 28, 2006, Liger was announced as a participant in the 2006 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-1_Climax#2006) G-1 Climax (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-1_Climax), the third time he has appeared in the tournament.

WCW

Jushin Liger also made appearances with World Championship Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Championship_Wrestling) (WCW) during the 1990s. He made his debut in late 1991. He feuded with Brian Pillman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Pillman), whom he would go on to face at SuperBrawl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperBrawl#1992) later that year, where Pillman defeated him.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jushin_Liger#cite_note-0) Liger left WCW in 1993 for NJPW, but he returned in late 1995. He would later face many other opponents such as Chris Benoit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Benoit), Brian Pillman, Dean Malenko (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Malenko), Rey Mysterio, Jr. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rey_Mysterio,_Jr.), and Juventud Guerrera (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juventud_Guerrera).
He met with controversy in 1999 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999) while wrestling a short tour in WCW as the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion when he lost the title on WCW Monday Nitro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_Monday_Nitro) to Juventud Guerrera (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juventud_Guerrera) via a blow to the head from a tequila (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tequila) bottle. Liger regained the title the next week from Psicosis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psicosis), who was substituting for Guerrera because he broke his arm. However, the scripting of the title loss was very embarassing to New Japan Wrestling, so embarrassing that none of the Japanese sporting outlets reported the two title changes, and New Japan didn't recognize Guerrera's reign until 2007 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007) [2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jushin_Liger#cite_note-1). Liger was also referred to as a 10 time champion until this time. [3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jushin_Liger#cite_note-2)

96aaXtq8ZsU&feature=related

Career

At 5’9” and 215 pounds, Wagner was not particularly physically imposing by professional wrestling standards, nor was he an exceptionally gifted athlete. Nevertheless, he soon developed a reputation as a solid in-ring worker. In the late 1930s, he met Betty Hanson, whom he would eventually marry in an in-ring ceremony. When the wedding proved a good drawing card, the couple re-enacted it in arenas across the country (which thus enlightened Wagner to the potential entertainment value that was left untapped within the industry). Around this same time, Vanity magazine (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vanity_magazine&action=edit&redlink=1) published a feature article about a pro wrestler named Lord Patrick Lansdowne (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lord_Patrick_Lansdowne&action=edit&redlink=1), who entered the ring accompanied by two valets while wearing a velvet robe and doublet. Wagner was impressed with the bravado of such a character, but he believed that he could take it to a much greater extreme. As a result, he debuted his new “glamour boy” persona on a 1941 card in Eugene, Oregon; and he quickly antagonized the fans with his exaggerated effeminate behavior, which prompted the ring announcer to introduce him as “Gorgeous George.” Such showmanship was unheard of for the time; and consequently, arena crowds grew in size as fans turned out to ridicule George (who relished the sudden attention).
Gorgeous George was soon recruited to Los Angeles by promoter Johnny Doyle. Known as the "Human Orchid," his persona was created in part by growing his hair long, dyeing it platinum blonde, and putting gold-plated bobby pins in it (which he deemed “Georgie Pins” while distributing them to the audience). Furthermore, he transformed his ring entrance into a bona-fide spectacle that would often take up more time than his actual matches. He was the first wrestler to really use entrance music, as he strolled nobly to the ring to the sounds of "Pomp and Circumstance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomp_and_Circumstance)", followed by his valet and a purple spotlight. Wearing an elegant robe sporting an array of sequins, Gorgeous George was always escorted down a personal red carpet by his ring valet “Jeffries,” who would carry a silver mirror while spreading rose petals at his feet. While George removed his robe, Jeffries would spray the ring with disinfectant (which reportedly consisted of Chanel No. 5 perfume), which George referred to as "Chanel #10" ("Why be half-safe?" he was famous for saying) before he would start wrestling. Moreover, George required that his valets spray the referee’s hands before the official was allowed to check him for any illegal objects, which thus prompted his now-famous outcry “Get your filthy hands off me!” Once the match finally began, he would cheat in every way he could. Gorgeous George was the industry’s first true cowardly villain, and he would cheat at every opportunity, which infuriated the crowd. His credo was "Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat!" This flamboyant image and his showman's ability to work a crowd were so successful in the early days of television (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television) that he became the most famous wrestler of his time, drawing furious heel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heel_%28professional_wrestling%29) heat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_%28professional_wrestling%29) wherever he appeared.
It was with the advent of television, however, that George’s character exploded into the biggest drawing card the industry had ever known. With the networks looking for cheap but effective programming to fill its time slots, pro wrestling’s glorified action became a genuine “hit” with the viewing public, as it was the first program of any kind to draw a real profit. Consequently, it was Gorgeous George who brought the sport into the nation’s living rooms, as his histrionics and melodramatic behavior made him a larger-than-life figure in American pop-culture. His first television appearance took place on November 11, 1947 (an event that was recently named among the top 100 televised acts of the 20th century by Entertainment Weekly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entertainment_Weekly)) and he immediately became a national celebrity at the same level of Lucille Ball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucille_Ball) and Bob Hope (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Hope) (who personally donated hundreds of chic robes for George’s collection) while changing the course of the industry forever. No longer was pro wrestling simply about the in-ring action, but George had created a new sense of theatrics and character performance that had not previously existed. Moreover, in a very real sense, it was Gorgeous George who single-handedly established television as a viable entertainment medium that could potentially reach millions of homes across the country (in fact, it is said that George was probably responsible for selling as many TV sets as Milton Berle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_Berle)).
In addition to his grandiose theatrics, Gorgeous George was an accomplished wrestler as well. While many may have considered him a mere gimmick wrestler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#G), he was actually a very competent freestyle wrestler, having started learning the sport in amateur wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_wrestling) as a teenager, and he could handle himself quite well if it came to a legitimate contest. The great Lou Thesz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Thesz), who would take this AWA title away from Wagner, and who was one of the best "legit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legit_%28professional_wrestling%29)" wrestlers ever in professional wrestling, displayed some disdain for the gimmick wrestlers. Nevertheless, he admitted that Wagner "could wrestle pretty well," but added that, "he [Wagner] could never draw a fan until he became Gorgeous George."
On March 26, 1947, he defeated Enrique Torres (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enrique_Torres) to capture the Los Angeles Heavyweight Championship. Then on February 22, 1949, George was booked as the feature attraction at New York (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York)’s Madison Square Garden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madison_Square_Garden) in what would be pro wrestling’s first return to the building in 12 years. By the 1950’s, Gorgeous George’s starpower was so huge that he was able to command 50% of the gate for his performances, which allowed him to earn over $100,000 a year, thus making him the highest paid athlete in the world. Moreover, on May 26, 1950, Gorgeous George defeated Don Eagle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Eagle) to claim the AWA (Boston) World Heavyweight Championship, which he held for several months. During this reign he was beaten by the National Wrestling Alliance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Wrestling_Alliance) World Champion Lou Thesz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Thesz) in a highly-publicized bout in Chicago (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago). However, perhaps Gorgeous George’s most famous match was against his longtime rival Whipper Billy Watson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whipper_Billy_Watson) on March 12, 1959, in which a beaten George had his treasured golden locks shaved bald before 20,000 delighted fans at Toronto (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto)’s Maple Leaf Gardens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple_Leaf_Gardens) and millions more on national television.
In one of his final matches, Gorgeous George later faced off against (and lost to) an up-and-coming Bruno Sammartino (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Sammartino), though he would lose his precious hair again when he was defeated by the Destroyer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Beyer) in a hair vs. mask match (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling_match_types#Luchas_de_Apues tas) at the Olympic Auditorium (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Olympic_Auditorium) on November 7, 1962. This would ultimately be his last match, as advanced age and extended alcohol abuse had taken their toll on his body; and his doctors ordered him to quit wrestling.

With their 4th pick, Team Shooting Star Press selects Chris Benoit in the 1980-1990 category.

Christopher Michael Benoit (IPA: [bə'nwɑ] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA)) (May 21, 1967 – June 24, 2007) was a Canadian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada) professional wrestler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling) who, in 2007 received extensive media coverage as a result of being the perpetrator of a double-murder suicide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Benoit_double_murder_and_suicide) in which he killed his wife and child, then himself, over the span of a weekend. In professional wrestling, he is best known for his work in Extreme Championship Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_Championship_Wrestling) (ECW), World Championship Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Championship_Wrestling) (WCW), and most notably, World Wrestling Entertainment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wrestling_Entertainment) (WWE). Benoit, among other accolades, was a World Heavyweight Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Heavyweight_Championship_%28WWE%29), WCW World Heavyweight Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_World_Heavyweight_Championship) and the 2004 Royal Rumble (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Rumble_%282004%29) winner, and was generally regarded as one of the most popular, respected and technically gifted performers in the history of professional wrestling.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Benoit#cite_note-2)[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Benoit#cite_note-3)[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Benoit#cite_note-4)[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Benoit#cite_note-5)[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Benoit#cite_note-6)

Actually, the WWE has seemed to lift that ban.

[Superflyer]

I was wondering if someone would have the guts to pick him. You can't deny he was a hell of a wrestler, he just was not all there up top.

[Flamesguy_SJ]

I was actually planning to take him with my last pick, but realized all my tag team options were running out.

I was really shocked and saddened when I first heard the news, but I haven't stopped watching his matches or anything. Some people I know took it really hard and can't even get through a single 5-minute SmackDown! match, but it never really bothered me that way.

[killer_carlson]

On the Benoit issue it's a tough one for me. What he did was disgusting, but after meeting people up here who knew him quite well and how important his family was, I think there may be merit to this idea of repeated concussions causing mental health issues. A scientist asked for and received his brain to examine it.

Still no excuse for murdering his family, but if there can be any good coming out of a situation like that, then perhaps it can be for directing some attention to the long term effects of repeated head injuries.

“Another major ECW feud (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feud_%28professional_wrestling%29) was with Sandman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Fullington). Raven "brainwashed" Sandman's real-life (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legit_%28professional_wrestling%29) son to join his cult-like following and turned him against his father. Raven got at Sandman by having his son deny his relationship with his father and perform Raven's taunt to slowly eat away at Sandman's psyche. This led to many bloody matches, culminating in an October 1996 match in which Sandman's son interfered to help his father. After the match, the two embraced, but Raven came from behind with a Kendo Stick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinai), and brutalized Sandman. Raven's lackeys, Steven Richards and the Blue Meanie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Heffron), pulled out a giant wooden cross from under the ring, tied Sandman down to it, and lifted it up and "crucified" him.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Levy#cite_note-1) At the same event, Kurt Angle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Angle) was present as a special guest (he was considering changing pro from amateur wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_wrestling)) and the offensive angle caused him to leave and threaten a lawsuit if his name appeared on the same episode as the "crucifixion".[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Levy#cite_note-2) Levy came out and gave a questionable apology for his actions. To this day, Levy claims that the angle was not an insult to Jesus Christ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus), but an insult to The Sandman, by using religious iconography to convey an artistic standpoint. In a shoot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoot_%28professional_wrestling%29) interview for the Forever Hardcore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardcore_Homecoming#Forever_Hardcore) documentary, Levy mentioned that his own religion came into question over the incident, with many ECW wrestlers believing that Levy (who, along with then-ECW owners Paul Heyman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Heyman) and Tod Gordon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tod_Gordon), is Jewish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism)) deliberately used the crucifixion as an anti-Christian statement. Levy says he was coerced into the apology by Heyman, who feared a backlash, and was angrily confronted by wrestlers who questioned why Raven did not crucify Sandman on a "Jewish Star" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_of_David), to which Raven replied that it would not have any philosophical impact on the crowd whatsoever, and that they would then have to roll The Sandman out of the arena. The footage of the "crucifixion" was never used by ECW and was not publicly seen until it appeared on the WWE DVD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Home_Video) The Rise and Fall of ECW (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rise_and_Fall_of_ECW).
Raven dominated ECW throughout 1995-1996 and enjoyed two reigns as ECW World Heavyweight Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECW_Championship). His group of followers became known as the Raven's Nest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven%27s_Nest). During his first stint in ECW, Raven successfully defended the ECW World Heavyweight Title against famous veterans Terry Gordy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Gordy) and "Dr. Death" Steve Williams (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Dr._Death%22_Steve_Williams), among others. He gave Dr. Death his first loss in a singles match in the U.S. in many years. His feud with Tommy Dreamer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Dreamer) began at his debut and after a short pause while Raven feuded with Sandman, it lasted for the next two years, before Dreamer finally defeated him at the ECW Arena (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhambra_Arena) in Philadelphia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia), Pennsylvania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania) on June 7, 1997 in a "Loser Leaves ECW" match (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling_match_types#Loser_Leaves_to wn_match). Raven then moved on to World Championship Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Championship_Wrestling).”

Keiji Mutoh
A.K.A
The Great Muta

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a371/armandecw666/My%20alltime%20favorite%20Wrestlers/KeijiMutoh.jpg
Keiji Mutoh (武藤 敬司 ,Mutōh Keiji? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Japanese), born December 23, 1962) is a Japanese (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan) professional wrestler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling) who first gained international fame in the National Wrestling Alliance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Wrestling_Alliance). He is mostly known for his work as The Great Muta in New Japan Pro Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Japan_Pro_Wrestling) during the 1990s, but he has also competed in America, Puerto Rico (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rico), and Taiwan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan). He is the current President of All Japan Pro Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Japan_Pro_Wrestling), as well as being a full-time wrestler for the promotion since 2002. Mutoh is widely regarded as one of the greatest Japanese wrestlers of all-time, both in Japan and America. He is currently the reigning AJPW Triple Crown Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJPW_Triple_Crown_Heavyweight_Championship).
Mutoh is credited as one of the first Japanese wrestlers to achieve a fan base outside of his native Japan in the United States (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States). The Great Muta gimmick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimmick_%28professional_wrestling%29) is one of the most influential gimmicks in puroresu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling_in_Japan), having been emulated by many wrestlers including Satoshi Kojima (The Great Koji), Kazushi Miyamoto (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazushi_Miyamoto) (The Great Kazushi) and Atsushi Onita (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atsushi_Onita) (The Great Nita). In addition, countless independent wrestlers have paid tribute to Muta through emulation and imitation.
Mutoh is one of two (the other being Shinya Hashimoto (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinya_Hashimoto)) wrestlers to hold the NWA World Heavyweight Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NWA_World_Heavyweight_Championship), the AJPW Triple Crown Championship and the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. He is also infamous for taking part in what is generally considered to be the bloodiest match of all time against Hiroshi Hase (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshi_Hase), leading to the creation of the "Muta Scale."[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Muta#cite_note-0)

Alter-egos



Great Muta, which he has wrestled as fairly continuously throughout his career, switching back and forth between this character and his real name. Great Muta is a mysterious gimmick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#G) where he spits green or red mist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_mist) and plays mind games to distract his opponents. Muta was originally billed as the son of Japanese wrestler Great Kabuki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Kabuki) who used a similar gimmick. The two are not related in real life. Originally he wore face paint, which was later exchanged for a mask after he shaved his head. The Great Muta gimmick is the gimmick most fans of the United States know Mutoh for, as he wrestled as The Great Muta throughout the late '80s and early '90s for the NWA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Wrestling_Alliance), and in his later stints in WCW (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Championship_Wrestling) with it.


Other media

Mutoh has appeared in a vast number of media appearances in Japan, including commercials as well as being interviewed for Bloodstained Memoirs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloodstained_Memoirs), a wrestling documentary.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Muta#cite_note-1)
In 1995, Mutoh starred in the Japanese thriller Dragon Blue, as Detective Ryusaki, a suave detective, who joins forces with a beautiful young spiritualist (Hiroko Tanaka).
In 2004, he played the role of Harold Sakata (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Sakata) in the movie Rikidōzan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rikidozan_%28film%29), a film based on the real-life story of a wrestler who would eventually be known as the "Father of puroresu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling_in_Japan)"; Harold Sakata took Rikidozan under his wing and introduced him into the world of professional wrestling.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping…

With my fourth pick in the draft, I am proud to select in the 1990’s category – Raven

“Another major ECW feud (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feud_%28professional_wrestling%29) was with Sandman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Fullington). Raven "brainwashed" Sandman's real-life (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legit_%28professional_wrestling%29) son to join his cult-like following and turned him against his father. Raven got at Sandman by having his son deny his relationship with his father and perform Raven's taunt to slowly eat away at Sandman's psyche. This led to many bloody matches, culminating in an October 1996 match in which Sandman's son interfered to help his father. After the match, the two embraced, but Raven came from behind with a Kendo Stick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinai), and brutalized Sandman. Raven's lackeys, Steven Richards and the Blue Meanie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Heffron), pulled out a giant wooden cross from under the ring, tied Sandman down to it, and lifted it up and "crucified" him.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Levy#cite_note-1) At the same event, Kurt Angle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Angle) was present as a special guest (he was considering changing pro from amateur wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_wrestling)) and the offensive angle caused him to leave and threaten a lawsuit if his name appeared on the same episode as the "crucifixion".[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Levy#cite_note-2) Levy came out and gave a questionable apology for his actions. To this day, Levy claims that the angle was not an insult to Jesus Christ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus), but an insult to The Sandman, by using religious iconography to convey an artistic standpoint. In a shoot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoot_%28professional_wrestling%29) interview for the Forever Hardcore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardcore_Homecoming#Forever_Hardcore) documentary, Levy mentioned that his own religion came into question over the incident, with many ECW wrestlers believing that Levy (who, along with then-ECW owners Paul Heyman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Heyman) and Tod Gordon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tod_Gordon), is Jewish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism)) deliberately used the crucifixion as an anti-Christian statement. Levy says he was coerced into the apology by Heyman, who feared a backlash, and was angrily confronted by wrestlers who questioned why Raven did not crucify Sandman on a "Jewish Star" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_of_David), to which Raven replied that it would not have any philosophical impact on the crowd whatsoever, and that they would then have to roll The Sandman out of the arena. The footage of the "crucifixion" was never used by ECW and was not publicly seen until it appeared on the WWE DVD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Home_Video) The Rise and Fall of ECW (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rise_and_Fall_of_ECW).
Raven dominated ECW throughout 1995-1996 and enjoyed two reigns as ECW World Heavyweight Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECW_Championship). His group of followers became known as the Raven's Nest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven%27s_Nest). During his first stint in ECW, Raven successfully defended the ECW World Heavyweight Title against famous veterans Terry Gordy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Gordy) and "Dr. Death" Steve Williams (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Dr._Death%22_Steve_Williams), among others. He gave Dr. Death his first loss in a singles match in the U.S. in many years. His feud with Tommy Dreamer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Dreamer) began at his debut and after a short pause while Raven feuded with Sandman, it lasted for the next two years, before Dreamer finally defeated him at the ECW Arena (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhambra_Arena) in Philadelphia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia), Pennsylvania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania) on June 7, 1997 in a "Loser Leaves ECW" match (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling_match_types#Loser_Leaves_to wn_match). Raven then moved on to World Championship Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Championship_Wrestling).”

With my fifth pick in the draft, I am proud to select in the Stables category – from Stampede Wrestling - The Karachi Vice

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d155/nastyz19/KarachiVice.jpg


"Everybody still talks about the Karachi Vice," explained Gama Singh. "It was an accidental thing, how it came about. There was myself and Mike Shaw, who I had changed his name to Makhan Singh, and we had Steve DiSalvo and Kerry Brown (http://slam.canoe.ca/SlamWrestlingBios/brown_kerry.html). I think we were all doing an interview together, we did a few interviews for a few weeks in a row, and then it just sort of came out. 'This is the Karachi Vice', because Miami Vice, the TV show, was quite hot at the time. And then the people just picked up from that. The following week, we saw all kinds of signs coming out -- Karachi Ice, Karachi Mice and that sort of thing [laughing]. We just kind of followed through and kept it going from there. It became quite a hot thing for a couple of years at least.
Shaw gained fame in Stampede Wrestling as Makhan Singh, and spent seven years in territory.“
"Karachi Vice was fantastic. It was probably the strongest heel connection I had since I was in the business," Shaw told SLAM! Wrestling from his Michigan home in April 1999. "Being a white guy and becoming an East Indian -- there's always a little bit of racial tension there."
Gama Singh (http://slam.canoe.ca/SlamWrestlingBios/singh_gama.html) gave Shaw the Makhan Singh monicker. The big man excelled in the role, especially behind the microphone. When regular announcers like Ed Whelan (http://slam.canoe.ca/SlamWrestlingBios/whalen.html) or Jim Davies (http://slam.canoe.ca/SlamWrestlingBios/davies.html) were away, Makhan Singh would often take over the announcing duties.
In the ring, Shaw was no slouch either. Karachi Vice had epic battles against the Harts, and their allies like Brian Pillman (http://slam.canoe.ca/SlamWrestlingPillman/home.html) and Chris Benoit (http://slam.canoe.ca/SlamWrestlingBenoit/home.html). "

Team Shooting Star Press with their 5th pick, selects from the Pre-80's Category Bruno Sammartino!!

Bruno Leopoldo Francesco Sammartino (born October 6, 1935) is an Italian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy) former professional wrestler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling), best known for being the longest-running champion of the World Wide Wrestling Federation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wrestling_Entertainment) (WWWF), holding the title across two reigns for over 11 years in total, as well as the longest single World Heavyweight Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro_Wrestling_Illustrated#PWI_World_Champions) reign in professional wrestling history.
Sammartino's wrestling ability was more mat-oriented which was typical of wrestlers from his era. His brawling style, power moves, and personal charisma helped him become the most popular American wrestler in the 1960s and 1970s. During the period when Madison Square Garden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madison_Square_Garden) was the WWWF's primary arena, Sammartino headlined more Garden cards than any other wrestler (130), including 45 sellouts.

[GreenTeaFrapp]

With it's fifth pick, Team Kayfabe selects, in the Women's category, one of the greatest wrestlers, man or woman, of all time, Akira Hokuto.

http://homepages.which.net/%7Ejames.phillips/pics3/hokuto.jpg

Born Hisako Uno, Hokuto became a professional wrestler in the wake of the enormous popularity of tag team the Crush Gals (Chigusa Nagayo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chigusa_Nagayo) and Lioness Asuka (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lioness_Asuka)), and was responsible for organizing the Bull Nakano (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keiko_Nakano) fanclub. She joined the AJW dojo after quitting high school. Debuting for All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Japan_Women%27s_Pro-Wrestling) (AJW) shortly before her eighteenth birthday, Hokuto immediately stood out from the crowd, winning AJW's Rookie of the Year award for 1985 [3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Hokuto#cite_note-JP-2). The next year, she won the AJW Junior Championship, and participated in AJW's Match of the Year, paired with Yukari Omari in a losing effort against Chigusa Nagayo and Yumiko Hotta in the final of the annual Tag League Tournament.

In 1987, Hokuto won the AJW's top tag team (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_team) belt, the WWWA World Tag Team Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWWA_World_Tag_Team_Championship) paired with Yumiko Hotta. Twelve days later, however, the two lost the titles to the Red Typhoons (Kazue Nagahori and Yumi Ogura) in a two out of three falls match (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_out_of_three_falls_match). During the finish of the second fall, Hokuto took a tombstone piledriver (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piledriver_%28professional_wrestling%29#Tombstone_ piledriver) off the top rope and broke her neck. She wrestled the entirety of the third fall holding her head in place with her hands. This gained Hokuto a reputation for toughness [3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Hokuto#cite_note-JP-2) .

After a year of recovery, Hokuto returned with a new persona. She had bleached her hair blonde, and now called herself Akira Hokuto, after popular wrestler Akira Maeda (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Maeda). [4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Hokuto#cite_note-W101-3) Teaming with Suzuka Minami as the Marine Wolves, she won the WWWA Tag Team belts twice more.

In 1990, Hokuto was booked to win the Japan Grand Prix (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Grand_Prix), AJW's annual tournament to determine the number one contender to the top singles belt, the WWWA World Heavyweight Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWWA_World_Heavyweight_Championship). However, she once again suffered a severe injury. During a Grand Prix match against Manami Toyota (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manami_Toyota), Hokuto performed a plancha (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling_aerial_techniques#Plancha) and crashed her knee into the ringside metal barrier. She tore open her knee, and was rendered unable to walk. Crying, she tied a bandage around her leg, pulled herself back into the ring, and attempted to continue the match. It was clearly impossible, however, and she was removed from the tournament [3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Hokuto#cite_note-JP-2)[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Hokuto#cite_note-W101-3). Hokuto returned to singles competition during the early 1990s. She won the All Pacific Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Pacific_Championship) in 1991 and 1992, and sustained many more injuries. She earned the nickname 'the Mummy' since she so often came to the ring wrapped in bandages.

The year 1993 is considered by many to be the best year of her career. She feuded with Shinobu Kandori (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinobu_Kandori) of the LLPW (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LLPW&action=edit&redlink=1) promotion during the inter-promotional period, where the major promotions active in women's wrestling in Japan at the time combined to run shows with dream match-ups that attracted some of the largest cards in history. At Dreamslam I on April 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_2), 1993 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993), Hokuto defeated Kandori, which was given a perfect five-star rating by Dave Meltzer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Meltzer) [5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Hokuto#cite_note-4) and is considered by some to be the greatest women's match in history [4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Hokuto#cite_note-W101-3).

Hokuto was subsequently defeated by Kandori in a tag match at Dreamslam II nine days later and in a singles match in December of that year. Also in 1993 she won the Japan Grand Prix and was granted another shot at the WWWA Championship, against champion Aja Kong (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aja_Kong) on October 9 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_9). Hokuto was again injured in August of that year, and requested that the match be made a non-title match, since she felt wrestling in her injured state would insult the prestige of the belt [3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Hokuto#cite_note-JP-2).

Later that year, having married Mexican wrestler Máscara Mágica (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A1scara_M%C3%A1gica), Hokuto moved to Mexico. She continued her career in her new home, adopting the persona Reina Jabuki. On July 30 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_30), 1994 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994), she defeated La Diabolica (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=La_Diabolica&action=edit&redlink=1) for the CMLL World Women's Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMLL_World_Women%27s_Championship), and carried it for over two years. Later that year, having divorced her first husband and returned to Japan, she defeated Aja Kong (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aja_Kong) in the final of the interpromotional V*Top Woman Tournament, an event which drew a gate of 42,500 to the Tokyo Dome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Dome) [3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Hokuto#cite_note-JP-2). Hokuto had one her last great matches for AJW on September 2, 1995, losing a thrilling 21-minute battle against Manami Toyota.

She married Kensuke Sasaki on October 1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_1), 1995 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1995), after Sasaki proposed to her on their first date. [4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Hokuto#cite_note-W101-3). On November 26 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_26), 1995 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1995), Hokuto made her U.S. debut at the WCW World War 3 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_World_War_3) pay-per-view event. She teamed with Bull Nakano (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keiko_Nakano) and defeated the team of Cutie Suzuki and Mayumi Ozaki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayumi_Ozaki). The same teams competed in a match on Monday Night Nitro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monday_Night_Nitro) the following night, with Hokuto and Nakano winning again [6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Hokuto#cite_note-5)

In 1996, she left AJW and joined Chigusa Nagayo's new promotion, GAEA Japan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAEA_Japan). Hokuto and several other GAEA wrestlers, including Chigusa Nagayo, KAORU, Meiko Satomura (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiko_Satomura), and Sonoko Kato, came to America to compete in a tournament to crown the first WCW Women's Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_Women%27s_Championship) [7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Hokuto#cite_note-6). Hokuto competed in the first round of the tournament twice, using both the Akira Hokuto and Reina Jabuki gimmicks. As Reina Jabuki, she lost in the first round to Madusa Miceli (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debra_Miceli). Because of this TV appearance, she was stripped of the CMLL title. As Akira Hokuto, she won the tournament, defeating Madusa in the finals, held at WCW's Starrcade (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starrcade) on December 29 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/December_29), 1996 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996) in Nashville, Tennessee (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nashville,_Tennessee) [8] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Hokuto#cite_note-7). Hokuto later defeated Madusa at WCW's Great American Bash (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_American_Bash) on June 15 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_15), 1997 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997), a match where Madusa was forced to 'retire' due to a stipulation [9] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Hokuto#cite_note-8). This was the last time Hokuto ever appeared in WCW and the Women's Championship was apparently dropped, as it was never defended or mentioned again. This made her the only WCW Women's Champion.

With our 5th round pick, Shotgun Saturday Night selects Brock Lesnar in the 2001-2009 category.

Before gaining prominence in World Wrestling Entertainment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wrestling_Entertainment) (WWE), Lesnar was an accomplished amateur wrestler winning the 2000 NCAA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Collegiate_Athletic_Association) wrestling championship and placing second in 1999, losing in the finals to New England Patriots (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_England_Patriots) offensive lineman Stephen Neal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Neal).[8] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brock_lesnar#cite_note-SN-7) In WWE, Lesnar was the 2002 King of the Ring (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_the_Ring#2002), and the winner of the 2003 Royal Rumble (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Rumble_%282003%29).[9] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brock_lesnar#cite_note-KOTR-8)[10] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brock_lesnar#cite_note-RR03-9) He is also a three-time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WWE_Champions) WWE Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Championship). After leaving WWE in 2004, Lesnar pursued a career in the NFL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League).[11] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brock_lesnar#cite_note-start_NFL-10) He played during the preseason for the Minnesota Vikings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Vikings), but ended up being a late cut.[12] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brock_lesnar#cite_note-NFL_cut-11) Lesnar returned to professional wrestling at the end of 2005, and joined New Japan Pro Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Japan_Pro_Wrestling), where he won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IWGP_Heavyweight_Championship) in his first wrestling match since leaving the WWE.[13] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brock_lesnar#cite_note-OWOW-12) He was stripped of the title in July 2006, although he held the physical belt until June 2007.[14] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brock_lesnar#cite_note-NJPW_title-13)

Why Pre 80s?

From wikipedia:

Roberts started his career in 1974 in the Louisiana (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana) area, as a referee and wrestler, making his name in Mid-South Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Wrestling_Federation_(Bill_Watts)) and Georgia Championship Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Championship_Wrestling).

Mid South was an NWA teritory. NWA became WCW. As per the rules, Roberts is Pre 80s.

Roberts derived his nickname (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickname) from being thin and snake-like. Roberts also said that he got his nickname from Oakland Raiders (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oakland_Raiders) quarterback (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarterback) Ken "The Snake" Stabler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Stabler).[citation needed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)] To accentuate this, he would often slide ("slither") into and out of the ring on his belly under the bottom rope. Once he reached the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in March 1986, Roberts would bring a huge, live Burmese Python (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burmese_Python) (though various snakes were used over the years, most were named "Damien") to ringside in a canvas bag. Other snakes used were a Reticulated Python (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_reticulatus) named Lucifer, who was called Damiens' older brother after Earthquake (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tenta) sat on the bag which Damien was in, and the famous devenomized Cobra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra) that bit Macho Man Randy Savage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage). After executing a DDT, Roberts would coil the constrictor around the opponent's neck, and the snake would slither around on top of the fallen wrestler, sometimes appearing to strangle him. Besides the fact that numerous fellow wrestlers and commentators were legitimately (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legit_(professional_wrestling)) afraid of snakes, it was a masterful show of kayfabe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayfabe), as the wrestler lay twitching and sometimes foaming at the mouth with the monstrous snake appearing to squeeze the life out of him. This display of theatricality got over with professional wrestling fans when George Wells (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Wells_(wrestler)), a former Canadian Football League (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Football_League) (CFL) football player turned wrestler, played "victim" to Damien at WrestleMania 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania_2). His frothing at the mouth sold the gimmick as being something lethal.

Found this quite funny:

Also in 1999, at an independent PPV show entitled Heroes of Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroes_of_Wrestling), Roberts cut a rambling, incoherent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_(linguistics)) promo[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake_The_Snake_Roberts#cite_note-5) in which he heavily slurred his words. Minutes later, he staggered toward the ring, apparently drunk, for an awkward match with Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Neidhart). Before the match, Roberts pulled his snake out of the bag, put it between his legs, and simulated masturbation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masturbation). Because it was obvious that Roberts was unable to participate in a singles match, the match was changed to a tag team match involving Yokozuna (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodney_Anoa%27i) and King Kong Bundy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Kong_Bundy). The pay-per-view ended abruptly, cutting to black with the commentators in mid-sentence just as Roberts was motioning that he was about to remove his pants.

Why Pre 80s?

From wikipedia:

Roberts started his career in 1974 in the Louisiana (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana) area, as a referee and wrestler, making his name in Mid-South Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Wrestling_Federation_%28Bill_Watts%29) and Georgia Championship Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Championship_Wrestling).

Mid South was an NWA teritory. NWA became WCW. As per the rules, Roberts is Pre 80s.

Actually, the NWA did not become WCW. Rather WCW, which had controlled the NWA at that point, succeeded from the NWA. But since Mid-South became the UWF which was later purchased by WCW, your category is still valid.

With my fifth pick in the draft, I am proud to select in the Stables category – from Stampede Wrestling - The Karachi Vice

Team Stylin and Profilin is proud to select as our favorite match, from King of the Ring 1998, Mankind vs. Undertaker in Hell in a Cell.

This match will forever go down in history as one of the most memorable matches, with such things as Taker throwing Mankind off the top of the cell through the spanish announce table and later sending Mankind through the roof of the cage with a chokeslam. Both men left everything in the ring and they made history with one of the most amazing matches in history. To make it even more amazing, Taker was working with a broken foot.

Jimmy "The Mouth of the South" Hart
http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x310/The_Ultimate_Wrestling_Gallery/Jimmy%20Hart/JimmyHart020.jpg

Before wrestling, Jimmy, as a teenager, was a vocalist in the 60's band The Gentrys who had a million selling record “Keep on Dancin.” Before becoming The Gentrys, there were known as just "The Gents." Their production manager told them that if they did not change their name, then they wouldn't succeed in the music industry. Later, after the leader of the group Larry Raspberry left, Jimmy took over and they had a few minor hits most notably "Why Should I Cry" and a cover of Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl". Jimmy and the band were very successful in the Memphis area nightclub circuit. The group was under contract to Stax records at the time of its bankruptcy and Stax could not properly promote them.

After being asked to sing back-up with Jerry "The King" Lawler, Jimmy (who attended Memphis Treadwell high school with Lawler) was asked to be an announcer and then to manage Jerry. He also managed King Kong Bundy, "Ravishing" Rick Rude, Lanny Poffo, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, Ox Baker, Kamala, Randy Savage, and "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert; this stable was known as "Hart's First Family of Wrestling," or simply "The First Family."

Jimmy Hart has managed 57 wrestlers.

Hart composed many theme songs for wrestlers in the WWF and WCW. Some of the wrestlers for whom he composed music were Honky Tonk Man, Jimmy Snuka, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, The Rockers, The Hart Foundation, Crush, the Fabulous Rougeaus, Dusty Rhodes, the Legion of Doom, the Nasty Boys, Ted DiBiase, the Mountie, Hulk Hogan, the nWo Wolfpac, and 3 Count. One of Hart's most notable compositions is Shawn Michaels's entrance theme, "Sexy Boy."

His megaphone was given to him by Vince McMahon who had just returned from touring Japan. McMahon told him that from then on he had to carry it to ringside with him. To this day, it has been associated with Hart's gimmick, thus giving him the name "The Mouth of the South".

To me, the really insane part about that night is that both Mankind and 'Taker came back out to interfere in the Kane vs Steve Austin match about 10 minutes later. Talk about testicular fortitude!

In the Pre-80's division, team Droopy's Dungeon selects....

A man who scared the hell out of me as a kid playing shinny in the small town of Carbon Alberta.

A man who Bret Hart called one of his top wrestlers of all time...

A man who held Stampede Wrestling's title 8 times....

http://www.garywill.com/wrestling/canada/photos/archiegouldie.jpg

Archie "The Stomper" Gouldie

From Carbon, Alberta, northeast of Calgary. Played CFL football with Saskatchewan and ended up becoming one of Stu Hart (http://www.garywill.com/wrestling/canada/hart-s.htm)'s biggest stars in Calgary, holding the top title in the Stampede promotion eight times between 1968 and 1984.
Trained with Hart and worked in Calgary as a prelim wrestler. Wrestled early in his career in Amarillo, Texas for Dory Funk. Became a star in the Central States territory in Kansas City after being renamed the Mongolian Stomper in 1964. Challenged Lou Thesz for the NWA title in a St. Joseph, MO main event in 1964. In Kansas City, won the Central States title in 1965 and challenged Gene Kiniski (http://www.garywill.com/wrestling/canada/kiniski.htm) for the NWA title in 1966. Returned to Calgary in 1968 as a main eventer, wrestling as Archie "The Stomper" Gouldie.

Had additional matches for the NWA title in the 1970s against Harley Race, Jack Brisco, and Terry Funk. Had championship runs in Florida, Memphis, and Knoxville in the 1970s. Only wrestled in Toronto twice, working mid-card on two shows in August 1974.
Wrestled on top in Georgia, Alabama, Calgary, and Knoxville in the 1980s. Kept an excellent physique through his career. Set a world record performing 1,800 situps in an hour while wrestling in Alabama. Jeff Gouldie briefly wrestled as Stomper's son in 1983-84, but was not actually related. He's best remembered for receiving a broken collarbone in a vicious attack by Bad News Allen. Allen's actions at that time were so brutal that long-time Stampede announcer Ed Whalen quit in protest. Stomper later defeated Allen for his final reign as Stampede North American champion.
Continued to make appearances in the 1990s while working for the Knoxville sheriff's department. Frequently wrestled for Smoky Mountain Wrestling in the early 1990s. Was among the legends recognized at a 1994 Smoky Mountain show in Knoxville. Wrestled in an all-legends match that night, teaming with Ron Garvin (http://www.garywill.com/wrestling/canada/garvinr.htm) against Bob Orton Jr. and Dick Slater. Made his final Smoky Mountain appearance in September 1995, winning a battle royal.

For the final pick of Round 5, Team Malfunction Junction selects in the 2001-Present Category: from Washington DC, The Animal, Dave Batista.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b7/DBatista.jpg

Batista debuted in the WWE in May of 2002 as a member of the Smackdown brand as the enforcer for D-Von Dudley's newly created Reverend character. Later, Batista moved to Raw and became affiliated with Ric Flair, eventually becoming a member of the Evolution stable along with Flair, Triple H, and Randy Orton.

In 2005, Batista entered and won the Royal Rumble against Triple H's wishes, which led to a face turn for Batista and a departure from Evolution. At Wrestlemania 21, Batista defeated Triple H to become the first World Champion of Filipino descent (his father is Filipino and his mother is Greek).

m8RNrSP6tGI

Despite suffering multiple long-term injuries over his brief career, Batista has continued to receive major pushes that have kept him at the top of the WWE (at least when he's active).

Batista is a four-time World Heavyweight Champion; a three-time World Tag Team Champion; a one-time WWE Tag Team Champion; and the 2005 Royal Rumble winner.

Batista is currently again on the sidelines for a torn hamstring.

[getbak]

To kick off Round 6, Team Malfunction Junction selects in the Match Category: From Wrestlemania 3, Randy Savage vs. Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat for the Intercontinental Championship.

The background story to this match started on the November 22, 1986 episode of WWF Superstars when Savage defeated Steamboat to retain the IC belt. After the match, Savage continued to assault Steamboat, eventually hitting Steamboat with the ring bell after leaping from the top rope. Savage landed with the bell on Steamboat's throat, causing him to suffer from a crushed larynx. Steamboat was out of action for several weeks recovering from the attack. On January 3, 1987, Steamboat returned to the WWF during an episode of Saturday Night's Main Event when he ran to the ring to prevent Savage from dropping the ring bell on George "The Animal" Steele in the same manner he had done to Steamboat. This rescue led to both the Wrestlemania rematch and Steamboat and Steele's friendship (which played a role in the outcome of the match).

For a 13 year-old me, this was the most anticipated match on the card for WM3. At that time, Hogan very rarely appeared on Superstars, and never wrestled on the show, so the biggest matches to happen on Superstars (which was the WWF's weekly flagship show at the time) were the IC title matches. Even though I understood that wrestling was "fake", I still vividly remember the Savage attack on Steamboat and having schoolyard debates about whether or not Steamboat was really injured.

The match is widely considered to be one of the best matches in WWF history, and was named the 1987 Match of the Year by both Pro Wrestling Illustrated and The Wrestling Observer (two of the biggest independent wrestling magazines at the time).

The (New) Hart Foundation

War with United States (1997)

The re-formed Hart Foundation was a pro-Canadian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada) stable that was born after the events of 1997's WrestleMania 13 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania_13), where Bret Hart defeated his then-nemesis Stone Cold Steve Austin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Cold_Steve_Austin) in their Submission Match (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling_match_types#Variations_of_s ingles_matches).[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation#cite_note-brethartbio-4)[56] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation#cite_note-55) The fans, in the context of one match, turned (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#T) on Bret and began supporting Steve Austin, who was the rebellious anti-hero who "flipped the bird", swore on television and did whatever he wanted, when he wanted to. Because of their new-found love for Austin, the fans in the U.S.A. began to turn on Bret Hart, thus causing a "North American war". Bret Hart in response reunited himself with Jim Neidhart and recruited Owen Hart, The British Bulldog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davey_Boy_Smith), and Brian Pillman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Pillman) to form the new Hart Foundation.[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation#cite_note-brethartbio-4)
This stable opposed the United States (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States), and even degraded the United States and its values whereas they would speak highly of Canada and Europe (where they were beloved). The New Hart Foundation usually brought the Canadian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Canada) and British (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Flag) flags out to their matches, and in their promos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promo_(professional_wrestling)) would talk in disgust about the United States and its inhabitants in general, thus causing fan reactions and making the New Hart Foundation (and Bret Hart in particular) unpopular in the States but highly popular everywhere else. Their main feud was with Stone Cold. At Canadian Stampede (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Your_House#In_Your_House_16:_Canadian_Stampede) , Hart Foundation took part in a historic 10-man tag-team match where the entire Hart Foundation faced the team of Steve Austin, Legion of Doom, Ken Shamrock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Shamrock), and Goldust (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dustin_Rhodes). In the decision, Owen Hart pinned Steve Austin. The entire Hart family came into the ring to celebrate afterwards.[57] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation#cite_note-56)
The stable was highly successful, garnering every WWF Championship title they had to offer at the time, including the WWF Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Championship),[44] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation#cite_note-wwetitle-43) WWF Intercontinental Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Intercontinental_Championship),[43] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation#cite_note-ictitle-42) WWF European Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_European_Championship)[58] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation#cite_note-eurotitle-57) and WWF Tag Team Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Tag_Team_Championship_(WWE)).[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation#cite_note-worldtagteam-6)

The end of Hart Foundation (1997)

The new Hart Foundation eventually disbanded in late 1997. Pillman was found dead of an undetected heart condition on October 5 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_5), the day of In Your House: Badd Blood (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Your_House#In_Your_House_18:_Badd_Blood).[59] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation#cite_note-58) The following pay-per-view, Survivor Series 1997 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_Series_(1997)), Bret (who was leaving the WWF to join World Championship Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Championship_Wrestling)) lost the WWF Championship to Shawn Michaels in the infamous "Montréal Screwjob (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montr%C3%A9al_Screwjob)".[60] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation#cite_note-59) Both Neidhart and Smith left over the incident, but Owen remained feeling that he may have been sued for breach of contract (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breach_of_contract) if he left.

Kurt Angle vs. Shane McMahon at King Of The Ring 2001
http://www.showwrestling.narod.ru/Pictures/Media/Video/Battles/Wwf-Wwe/Kurt_Angle_vs._Shane_McMahon.jpg

This bout is insane and must-see viewing for hardcore wrestling fans. Things don't get interesting until Shane and Kurt take their fight to the floor. Before that, Angle gives Shane a lesson in mat wrestling. Trading blows in front of the King Of The Ring entrance way, Kurt Angle belly-to-belly suplexes Shane into some glass KOTR panels. It's a sick bump but the panel doesn't shatter. Kurt does it again and Shane goes right through. There is broken glass everywhere. Both men are cut and bleeding from wounds all over their bodies. In the area behind the panels, Angle belly-to-belly suplexes Shane into two more panels before throwing him through another one. The carnage due to the broken glass everywhere is hard to watch. Shane is wheeled back to the ring on an equipment box where trash cans and street signs are put into play. Angle positions Shane on the top rope then secures a wooden plank up there as well. Angle Olympic Slams Shane off the wooden plank and into the middle of the ring.
Angle pins Shane.

The (New) Hart Foundation

War with United States (1997)
I quit watching the WWF shortly after this, but what was so amazing about this Foundation and its storyline was the 180 fans response. One week they are greeted with thunderous boos and and are the pinnacle of heels, next week and a trip over the border and they hero's and loved.... only to be booed and heels the following week.

Team Stylin' and Profilin' is proud to select as our stable, The Hennan Family.

http://www.lordofrings.gr/userfiles/image/WWE/STABLES/Heenan_Family.jpg

Sometimes it takes a good manager to help promote a good wrestling; and one of the best managers was Bobby "the Brain" Heenan. Bobby Heenan started off his WWF career managing Jesse Ventura; but would later move on to Big John Studd after Ventura retired from in-ring performances. Big John Studd started off feuding with Andre the Giant in a body-slam challenge that went all the way to Wrestlemania I. Then his next target was the WWF champion Hulk Hogan. Heenan Family member King Kong Bundy fought Hogan in a steel cage at Wrestlemania II. Then he would recruit Andre the Giant to fight Hogan at Wrestlemania III. The Heenan Family would later go on to include WWF tag team champions The Brain Busters (Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard,) and Intercontinental champions "Ravishing" Rick Rude and Mr. Perfect. The last member of the Heenan Family would be Ric Flair, who would go on to win the WWF title two times. The stable ended in 1993 when Bobby Heenan left the company. While many other manager led stables would come, none of them had the same effect as the Heenan Family.

When Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Nonstop_Action_Wrestling) (TNA) announced the creation of their women's division in 2007, Szantyr, using her Talia Madison ring name, was announced as one of the ten wrestlers in a 10-woman Gauntlet match (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauntlet_for_the_Gold) to crown the first TNA Women's World Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNA_Women%27s_Knockout_Championship) at Bound for Glory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bound_for_Glory_%282007%29) pay-per-view.[11] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet_Sky#cite_note-10) Before the show she made non-wrestling appearances on the October 5 episode of TNA Today (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNA_Today)[12] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet_Sky#cite_note-11) and the October 11 Impact! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNA_Impact%21), standing at ringside for the debut match of Awesome Kong (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kia_Stevens) along with the other gauntlet match participants. In the weeks following the gauntlet match, her ring name was changed to Velvet Sky.

The Beautiful People


(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Beautiful_People_Bloomington_IL_062008.jp g)

At the December Turning Point (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNA_Turning_Point#2007) pay-per-view, Sky and Angelina Love (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_Williams) were paired together and dubbed "Velvet Love Entertainment",[13] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet_Sky#cite_note-turn-12) later renamed to "The Beautiful People". After defeating O.D.B. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_Kresa) and Roxxi Laveaux (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicole_Raczynski) early in the show, Love and Sky assisted Gail Kim (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gail_Kim) in her match against Awesome Kong (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awesome_Kong).[13] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet_Sky#cite_note-turn-12) They assisted Kim again after another match against Kong on the December 6 edition of Impact! and at Final Resolution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Resolution_%282008%29) pay-per-view, helping to stop a brawl post match.[14] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet_Sky#cite_note-13)
On the March 13 edition of Impact!, Sky and Love attacked Roxxi Laveaux and later that night Gail Kim, thus becoming villains (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heel_%28professional_wrestling%29) for the first time in TNA. At Lockdown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockdown_%282008%29), Sky participated in the first ever "Queen of the Cage" match, which was won by Laveaux. Sky participated in the Make Over Battle Royal-Ladder Match at Sacrifice (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrifice_%282008%29), which was won by Gail Kim. The two later added another factor to their gimmicks, placing brown paper bags over opponents heads. On July 17 episode of Impact!, Sky won a Knockouts Battle Royal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_royal_%28professional_wrestling%29#Gauntlet _for_the_Gold) for number one contendership to the Women's Knockout Championship, but lost the title match the next week as well as two more title matches immediately following to then champion Taylor Wilde (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shantelle_Malawski).
The Beautiful People began associating with Cute Kip (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Sopp), who become known as their "fashionist" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashion_design). At Bound For Glory 2008 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bound_for_Glory_IV), The Beautiful People and Cute Kip were defeated by ODB, Rhaka Khan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhaka_Khan), and Rhino (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Gerin).

Shotgun Saturday Night selects The Un-Americans in the Stable category.


The Un-Americans were formed on SmackDown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Friday_Night_SmackDown) in June 2002 by the Canadian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada) Lance Storm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lance_Storm), who had led a similar stable (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#S) known as Team Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Team_Canada_%28WCW%29) in World Championship Wrestling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Championship_Wrestling). Storm claimed that World Wrestling Entertainment had discriminated against Canadians (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Canadianism) for years, citing the Montreal Screwjob (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Screwjob) as an example. Christian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Reso) (who tag-teamed with Storm regularly since the fall of the WCW/ECW Alliance) and Test (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Martin), also Canadians, joined the burgeoning stable later that month. The stable was named "The Anti-Americans" shortly thereafter.


As indicated by the name, the Anti-Americans differed from previous incarnations of Team Canada in that they were anti-American rather than pro-Canadian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_nationalism). As a result of this, the emblem of the stable was not the Canadian flag (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Canada), but an American flag flown upside down (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_terminology).


...


The Anti-Americans then jumped from SmackDown to Raw (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Raw) on July 29 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_29), and immediately began a feud with The Undertaker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Undertaker). This is when Jim Ross (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Ross) started referring to the group as "The Un-Americans". They went on to feud with Booker T (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booker_Huffman) and Goldust (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dustin_Rhodes), who Storm and Christian defeated in a Tag Team Championship title match at SummerSlam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SummerSlam_%282002%29) on August 25 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_25). In the same night, The Undertaker defeated Test in a singles match.


In late August and early September, The Un-Americans attempted on several occasions to burn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_desecration) the American flag (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_United_States), but were thwarted on each occasion by Booker T, Goldust, Kane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Jacobs) and Bradshaw (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Layfield). In mid September, the English (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England) William Regal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darren_Matthews) joined the stable. At Unforgiven (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unforgiven_%282002%29) on September 22 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_22), The Un-Americans lost to Booker T, Goldust, Kane and Bubba Ray Dudley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_LoMonaco) in an eight-man tag team match.

With my 6th pick in the draft, I am proud to select in the Tag Team category – The Outsiders

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d155/nastyz19/outsider.jpg
(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d155/nastyz19/outsider.jpg)

wWN9iBfhzzQ&feature=related

“The Outsiders were formed in 1996 when Hall and Nash signed with World Championship Wrestling after leaving the World Wrestling Federation. In the storyline, Hall led an invasion, appearing on WCW programming and insinuating that he was doing so under orders from his WWF employers and warning that he would soon be joined by others. Their angle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#A) was the precursor to the heel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heel_%28professional_wrestling%29) turn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#T) of Hulk Hogan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulk_Hogan) and the formation of the New World Order (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_World_Order_%28professional_wrestling%29) (nWo), a major wrestling storyline that dominated WCW programming for several years afterwards.
The Outsiders captured the WCW World Tag Team Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_World_Tag_Team_Championship) six times, first winning them from Harlem Heat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlem_Heat) (Booker T (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booker_Huffman) and Stevie Ray (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lane_Huffman)) at Halloween Havoc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_Havoc#1996) in October 1996. They dropped (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#D) the title to The Steiner Brothers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steiner_Brothers) (Rick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Steiner) and Scott Steiner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Steiner)) at the 1997 Souled Out (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Souled_Out#1997) event, only to have WCW President Eric Bischoff (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Bischoff) reverse the decision on the next night's edition of WCW Monday Nitro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_Monday_Nitro). A near repeat of these events occurred the next month when Hall and Nash lost to the team of Lex Luger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lex_Luger) and The Giant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Wight) at SuperBrawl VII (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperBrawl#SuperBrawl_VII), with Bischoff again abusing his power and quickly returning the titles to The Outsiders.
In October 1997, fellow nWo member Syxx (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Waltman) began substituting for a legitimately (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legit_%28professional_wrestling%29) injured Nash, teaming with Hall to defend the titles on numerous occasions. This pairing eventually lost the title to The Steiner Brothers in on October 13, 1997. The Outsiders and Steiners traded the title back and forth at both televised and non-televised events (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_show) until Scott turned on his brother, joining the nWo and giving the title to Hall and Nash.
In May 1998 The Outsiders team broke up due to dissension within the nWo, with Hall choosing to join nWo Hollywood and Nash joining with The Wolfpac, a name that the Outsiders and Syxx trio originally referred to themselves as in 1997. The split team faced each other once later in the year before coming back together in December 1999 to win the WCW World Tag Team Championship one more time. It did not last, however, as Hall legitimately no-showed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#N) an event, the title was stripped from them, and the team was dissolved.

The Fabulous Moolah
http://kungfurodeo.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/moolah.jpg



While she's not the hottest pick out there, she is definitely one of the greatest female wrestlers to ever lace up the boots.

Mary Lillian Ellison[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabulous_Moolah#cite_note-stateobit-5) (July 22 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_22), 1923 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1923) – November 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_2), 2007 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007)), better known by her ring name (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_name) The Fabulous Moolah, was an American (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) female professional wrestler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling) who was marketed by World Wrestling Entertainment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wrestling_Entertainment) (WWE) as holding the record for the longest title reign by any athlete in any professional sport.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabulous_Moolah#cite_note-raging86-0) She began her twenty-seven year championship reign in 1956.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabulous_Moolah#cite_note-raging86-0) For many years she was the leading promoter of woman's professional wrestling. She was also known as being the first WWF Women's Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Women%27s_Championship). According to WWE, Moolah held the title a total of four times.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabulous_Moolah#cite_note-raging87-1)
During her career, Moolah wrestled in Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada), Mexico (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico), Japan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan), and throughout Europe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe).[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabulous_Moolah#cite_note-raging86-0) She became the oldest champion in the history of professional wrestling when she won the WWF Women's title at seventy-six years of age, in 1999, forty-three years after she first won the title.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabulous_Moolah#cite_note-raging87-1) Moolah was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_members_of_the_WWE_Hall_of_Fame) in 1995.[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabulous_Moolah#cite_note-WWE_profile-6)

"Superstar" Billy Graham

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000BSZAGK.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg
Eldridge Wayne Coleman (born September 10 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_10), 1943 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1943)) better known by his ring name (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_name) "Superstar" Billy Graham, is an American (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) retired professional wrestler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling). Graham is a former WWWF Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Championship), and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Hall_of_Fame) in 2004.
Graham's popularity was based principally on the basis of his character, rather than his wrestling skills. His bodybuilder's physique and flamboyant patter paved the way for wrestlers like Jesse Ventura (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Ventura), Hulk Hogan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulk_Hogan), Scott Steiner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Steiner) and Triple H (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_H), who were all heavily influenced by Graham's example.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Graham_%28wrestler%29#cite_note-0) Graham called his twenty-two inch arms "pythons," and often recited self-aggrandizing poetry during his interviews, a technique inspired by Muhammad Ali (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Ali). A typical example: "I'm the man of the hour, the man with the power, too sweet to be sour. The women's pet, the men's regret. What you see is what you get. And what you don't see is better yet."
Legacy

"Superstar" Billy Graham is credited for changing how American professional wrestling is portrayed. The WWE describes all of its competitors as "WWE Superstars"; a direct tribute to Billy Graham.
Many wrestlers have claimed to have based their looks and styles on Billy Graham. Some famous examples are Paul Ellering (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Ellering), Scott Steiner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Steiner), Triple H (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_H), Steve Austin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Cold_Steve_Austin), Hulk Hogan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulk_Hogan), Ric Flair (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ric_Flair) and Jesse "The Body" Ventura (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Ventura).
He helped Arnold Schwarzenegger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Schwarzenegger) with his posing techniques, for bodybuilding competitions.

“In 1983, a riot broke out during a match at the Ogden Auditorium in Calgary during a match between Bret Hart (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_Hart), Davey Boy Smith (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davey_Boy_Smith) and Sonny Two Rivers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junji_Hirata) against Bad News Allen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_News_Allen), The Stomper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archie_Gouldie) and Stomper's kayfabe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayfabe) son Jeff Gouldie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Lee_Jones_%28wrestler%29). Longtime Stampede announcer Ed Whalen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Whalen) reportedly became distraught during the riot, in which a women was trampled, causing him to quit from the Stampede on air. Speaking of the events he remarked, "We're starting to scare the patrons with this violence outside the ring, and I will not be associated with it anymore." The event led to Stampede Wrestling being banned from Calgary for six months by the city's wrestling and boxing commission, and within a year the operation was sold to the World Wrestling Federation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wrestling_Entertainment).”


A little Q&A with Bad News Allen from Slam Sports:
“…Q: Back in the 1980's (around 1984-85) there was a match where you fought in a tag team against Archie Gouldie and his son [Editor's note: actually another person acting as Gouldie's son]. To make a long story short, there was a fork involved, and at the end Ed Whelan (http://slam.canoe.ca/SlamWrestlingBios/whalen.html) "quit" as an announcer for Stampede Wrestling. Was this an angle to cover up the selling of Stu Hart's promotion to the WWF at the time?

A: No, it wasn't.

Q: What are your memories of that one?

A: [Laughing] Ed Whalen really flipped out. I didn't know he was going to do that. Actually it was about a year later that Stu sold his promotion. It wasn't an angle. Ed Whalen really went off the deep end that night.

Q: How did that affect you? Did you try to talk to him afterwards to try to bring him back?

A: Well, I didn't. Personally, I was happy to see him leave. I thought he was a terrible commentator and he wanted to get too involved with the wrestlers all the time. He was always up in the heels' faces all the time and I didn't think that was a good thing. But then, a year when he did come back, they actually brought me down and I had to promise that I would behave myself and all this nonsense. And they actually turned me babyface for a while there, so he would come back. Otherwise he refused to come back as long as I was working there…”

Awesome pick for a match, I was at the turn fight when Bad News broke Stomper's "kid's" neck on the concrete floor. I remembe that the majority of the audience went very quiet, then Bad New's started stabbing the stomper. Whalen did get up in the ring and quit, and he tossed the house mic over the rope and stomped out.

Bad News was a terrifying no nonsense guy, I remember I met him at Canadian tire and shuffled up to say hi, he gave me the glower of death but did take the time to give me a personalized autograph.

It was sad that he died not that long ago, working as a security guard.

It was sad that he died not that long ago, working as a security guard.

He worked security up here in Airdrie and I saw him a few times as he would do rounds at a local pub. He could barely walk as the ring battles had definitely taken a toll on his knees.

I know a lot of wrestlers thought he was an arse. He still had that mean look about him even the last time I saw him about a month before he passed away. One of the best heels ever... RIP Bad News

Team Shooting Star Press selects with their 7th pick, in the Match category, from No Way Out 2000, Triple H (c) vs. Cactus Jack, in a Hell in Cell match!!!

he main event was a Hell in a Cell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_in_a_Cell) match for the WWF Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Championship), in which WWF Champion Triple H (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_H) defended his championship against Cactus Jack (Mick Foley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mick_Foley)), with the added stipulation that if Jack lost he would have to retire from professional wrestling. The match began inside a structure of metal surrounding the ring and ringside area. Throughout the match, many weapons were employed, such as steel chairs and a 2x4 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_lumber) with barbed wire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbed_wire) wrapped around it (the 2x4 was also set on fire later in the match). When the ring steps were repeatedly thrown against the wall of the cell, it tore open and Cactus Jack jumped through it to the outside of the cage. The men fought first on the announcer's table, and later both men wrestled on the top of the cage. While on top of the cell, Cactus Jack attempted to grab Triple H, turn him upside-down, and drive his head into the floor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piledriver_%28professional_wrestling%29), but the move was reversed and Triple H dropped him on his back (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suplex#Belly_to_back_suplex). The move broke the cell roof and Cactus Jack fell through to the mat below. After Jack stood up again, Triple H tucked Jack's head between his knees and jumped up (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebuster#Double_underhook_facebuster) to slam his head into the mat, a move Triple H calls a Pedigree. Triple H then covered Cactus Jack for a pin.[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Way_Out_%282000%29#cite_note-Slam-3)[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Way_Out_%282000%29#cite_note-NWOmainevent-6)

Pictures and descriptions to follow tonight

The first part of 1996 had Sting teaming with Lex Luger (who had returned to WCW in September 1995) to win the WCW World Tag Team title from Harlem Heat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlem_Heat). The reign was highlighted by the face (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_%28professional_wrestling%29) Sting usually oblivious to the cheating tactics of Luger (a tweener (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#T)) which became the means by which they usually retained the title. When Luger became temporarily unavailable in March 1996, Harlem Heat member Booker T (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booker_Huffman) teamed up with Sting on one occasion to successfully prevent the title from changing hands. A rematch between Harlem Heat and the team of Luger and Sting then came the following night, in which a mutual respect was displayed between Sting and Booker T. Harlem Heat eventually won the title back on the June 24, 1996 edition of WCW Monday Nitro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_Monday_Nitro). Sting also received a World title shot against The Giant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Wight) at Slamboree (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slamboree#1996), but lost after accidental interference from Luger.
In the summer of 1996, Sting was the first to stand up to "The Outsiders (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Outsiders_%28professional_wrestling%29)" (Kevin Nash (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Nash) and Scott Hall (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Hall)). They had a match at Bash at the Beach (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_at_the_Beach_%281996%29) with Sting being joined by Randy Savage and Lex Luger. The Outsiders announced they would have a 3rd man in their corner as well. In the opening minutes of the bout, Hall and Nash's partner was nowhere to be seen, but the WCW contingent's 2 on 3 advantage was short lived as Luger had to leave the match early due to an injury. Sting and Savage fought against Nash and Hall until the arrival of Hulk Hogan, who was apparantly about to back up the WCW wrestlers until he attacked Savage with his Leg drop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leg_drop) finisher in a swerve (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#S). The three subsequently formed the New World Order (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_World_Order_%28professional_wrestling%29) (nWo) at the end of the match, which was ruled a no-contest. The nWo introduced an impostor Sting (played by Jeff Farmer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Farmer_%28wrestler%29)), which led the crowd to believe that Sting had turned his back on WCW during a WarGames match at Fall Brawl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_Fall_Brawl#1996). When the real Sting returned he was upset by the fact that many wrestlers believed that he had in fact betrayed WCW despite his denials, that he himself felt betrayed, and so he left WCW by declaring himself a "free agent."[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sting_%28wrestler%29#cite_note-StingTimeline-3) He began appearing in the rafters at WCW events; his new silent persona (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#G), complete with corpse paint (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpse_paint), a trench coat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trench_coat), and longer hair replacing his spiked haircut, which was quite obviously inspired by The Crow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crow_%281994_film%29). He was joined in the rafters on a few occasions by Randy Savage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage). He also began using a baseball bat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_bat) as his signature weapon. The nWo, in turn, began to paint Farmer's face in the same fashion to try to continue the confusion, becoming known as nWo Sting. While appearing on a WCW/nWo merchandise special on QVC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QVC) Sports in late 1999, Sting admitted that Scott Hall initially suggested the idea of painting his face like the character from The Crow. Sting continues to use this type of face paint, occasionally with different designs and the use of color. In an unusual loyalty test, Sting confronted WCW wrestlers in the ring and shoved them a few times with his bat until they were provoked enough to advance on him, at which point he drew the weapon back into a more threatening stance, causing them to stop. He would then hand the bat to the offended wrestler and turn his back, offering them a chance at retaliation. When the wrestler declined, Sting would nod, retrieve the bat, and leave the ring. Following the eventual revelation of his loyalty to WCW, he began coming to the aid of many of these wrestlers (often at the end of a television taping) during group battles with the nWo.
After nearly six months of uncertainty and mystery, Sting finally showed his true colors as a face by single-handedly taking out the entire nWo at Uncensored (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncensored#1997) in March 1997. The pay-per-view had drawn to a close and the nWo were celebrating with their new found partner, NBA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Basketball_Association) star Dennis Rodman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Rodman), when Sting rappelled down over 70 feet from the roof of the arena via zip-line (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip-line) and began his historic battle against the nWo in which he ended up giving the Scorpion Death Drop to the principal members of the nWo: The Outsiders, Randy Savage, and WCW World Champion Hollywood Hogan. After this attack, he frequently rappelled from the rafters or even came up through the ring to attack unsuspecting nWo members and employ decoy Stings to play mind games during the closing segments of WCW Monday Nitro. Sting's appearances to fight the nWo at the end of almost every WCW Monday Nitro helped to keep and widen the ratings gap between WCW and the WWF (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wrestling_Entertainment) throughout the summer. On-screen commissioner James J. Dillon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_J._Dillon) tried many times to get Sting to return to wrestling by making contracts to fight various nWo members, but Sting ended up tearing up the contracts because there was only one man he wanted: Hollywood Hogan.
Sting and Hogan finally met at Starrcade (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starrcade_%281997%29) for the WCW World Championship, with Sting winning controversially due to a decision by special guest referee Bret Hart (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_Hart) when he reversed the decision made by referee Nick Patrick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Hamilton) after Hogan pinned Sting after what he believed to be a "fast count." The match was restarted and Sting made Hogan submit to the Scorpion Deathlock.[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sting_%28wrestler%29#cite_note-StingTimeline-3) It was heavily rumored that Sting was supposed to get a "clean" victory in the match, but in the days leading up to the match, Terry Bollea (Hogan), invoking his "creative control" clause in his contract, changed his stance on the outcome from a "clean" finish to a tainted finish that didn't weaken his character. The compromise ended up being the controversial ending of the match. The next night on WCW Monday Nitro, Hogan protested the decision which led to a rematch. The rematch met with the same result and later in the week on the inaugural episode of WCW Thunder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_Thunder), on-camera commissioner J.J. Dillon held the title up and forced Sting to surrender the belt. It was during this situation that Sting said his first words on camera in a year and a half. Upon handing over the belt, he told Dillon, "You've got no guts!" and then turned to Hogan and said, "And you....You're a dead man!" Sting eventually recaptured the title with help from "Macho Man" Randy Savage at SuperBrawl VIII (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperBrawl#SuperBrawl_VIII). He went on to have successful title defenses against the likes of Scott Hall, Diamond Dallas Page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_Dallas_Page), and Kevin Nash before losing the title to Savage at Spring Stampede (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_Stampede#1998) in April 1998, due to interference from Nash.
In the end, Sting amassed three victories over Hulk Hogan, while Hulk Hogan has never been able to defeat Sting. Sting is one of only four wrestlers that have defeated Hulk Hogan without losing to him. Brock Lesnar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brock_Lesnar), Goldberg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Goldberg), and The Rock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwayne_Johnson) are all undefeated against Hogan, although Hogan has pinned Sting in a tag team match on Nitro, and he pinned The Rock in a tag team match on Raw (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Raw). Sting has the highest amount of victories over him.



Great buildup, bad ending.

Match Bret Hart vs Steve Austin Wrestlemania 13

[Prototype]

I was thinking of grabbing Sting in the rafters as my storyline, great grab.

[CaptainCrunch]

yeah too bad the wrap up of that feud lead to the death of WCW. After a year of build up and a year of waiting in the rafters Sting basically gets screwed over by Hogan's creative control clause, participates in a blow off match where he gets next to no offensive moves in, then Bret Hart comes in and plays the crooked ref ala the end of his WWE career.

[GreenTeaFrapp]

With it's seventh pick, Team Kayfabe selects, in the Storyline category, one of the best feuds of all time, Jerry Lawler vs Austin Idol and Tommy Rich.

http://www.highspots.com/images/images_125/zkm8_memphis_lawler-idol.jpg

This was awarded feud of the year in 1987 by the Wrestling Observer and it might have been one of the craziest feuds ever.


It was the last great Memphis angle. Nearly three years after Vince McMahon had begun streamrolling every wrestling territory in the United States, Jerry Lawler and Jerry Jarrett's Memphis promotion seemed to have their scarred heads held a little higher above water than the other remaining promotions. Although the norm of 8,000-plus crowds and the occasional sellout at the Mid-South Coliseum appeared to be gone, the promotion was surviving just fine. Lawler, the promotion's co-owner and top drawing card, was one of the few top regional stars who didn't jump to McMahon's ever-expanding circus tent, maintaining the promotion's credibility with the local fans.

The promotion had a strong year in 1986 with a Bill Dundee/Buddy Landell feud vs. Jerry Lawler and Dutch Mantel, including a rabid sellout crowd at the Coliseum on March 3, 1986. (The catalyst for the angle was Dundee and Landell attacking young ref Jeff Jarrett and then father Jerry Jarrett, who immediately "reinstated" the loser-left-town Lawler.) The program culminated with Lawler triumphing over Dundee in a loser-leaves-town bout in Memphis before about 8,000 fans over the summer. Toward year's end, the promotion had dipped back down to the 5,000 range at the Coliseum, despite Lawler vs. Kabuki headlining most cards.

However, heading into the New Year, business was picking up. Former NWA-champ/TBS-babyface idol Tommy Rich slowly turned heel after being overlooked for an AWA World title shot against Nick Bockwinkel, who had once again been awarded the title without pinning anyone, this time when Stan Hansen refused to drop the strap to the aging star. (Nick had previously been awarded the title as the "number-one contender" after Verne Gagne retired with the belt in an incredibly egotistical move in 1981.) Rich had returned ostensibly to help Lawler in his feud with pudgy-eternal, masked wrestlers Fire & Flame (Don Bass and Roger Smith). However, in a subtle interview, Rich questioned why Lawler always receives the World title shots in the area--after all, Wildfire was a former NWA World champ, so why not him?

Lawler and Rich had a couple of fantastic bloody brawls for the title shot as 1986 came to an end, which helped spike attendance. But they were just getting warmed up.

On January 4, 1986, Lawler was set to wrestle Nick Bockwinkel for the AWA title. Prior to the bout, though, Austin Idol entered the ring and asked Lawler to step aside. When Lawler refused, Idol decked him, splitting open the King's forehead wide open.

(http://www.comics101.com/kentuckyfriedrasslin//news/Kentucky%20Fried%20Rasslin/11/haircut.jpg) Lawler went on to work a 60-minute Broadway with Bock, in a bout filled with high drama.

The next week, Idol's turn was complete, as he and Rich double-teamed Lawler, each grabbing a leg and ramming the King's crown jewels against a ringpost. (Lawler couldn't have timed his legit vasectomy any better.) Lawler sold the injury for about a month, returning to the Coliseum on February 16, 1987, drawing a hot crowd of 9,000.

The Idol, Rich vs. Lawler feud peaked on April 27, 1987, with the now-infamous hair match, which drew about 8,500. Along with his manager Paul Heyman (then known as "Paul E. Dangerly") Idol and Rich cheated Lawler of his hair and the AWA Southern title in a steel-cage match. (In hindsight, the cage probably saved the lives of those heels from hell in the ugly aftermath.) While Lawler getting his hair cut was certainly enough to create a melee of Pacers-like proportions, to make matters worse, in the pre-match hype, Idol had promised to refund every audience member's price of admission should he lose as well as have his own precious bleached-blonde locks snipped. Since the very idea of Lawler losing a hair match at that time was about as unfathomable as Rich regaining the NWA World title, Memphis fans eagerly plucked down their blue-collar cash thinking the Women's Pet had made a wager he'd soon regret.

That confidence was shattered seconds after Heyman kneeled on the floor of the Mid-South Coliseum to yell the prearranged signal to Rich, who had been secreted under the ring around 3 p.m. that day. Wearing an undersized Coca Cola Clothes sweatshirt, Rich moved like wildfire from the floor and into the ring, just in time to save the Idol from a King-sized, match-ending piledriver. The heels again posted Lawler against a ringpost, and Idol followed it up with one of the most classic heel moments of all time: With Lawler lying against the post, still selling the nutcracker, Idol smugly looked down at him, cradled the King's head in his hands and promptly bitch-slapped the hell out him. Too good.

After the momentarily stunned ref Jerry Calhoun came to his senses just in time to count out the King, Heyman wrapped a thick chain around Lawler's neck as local hairstylist Ted Cortese cut the hair of the city's number-one son.

Irate fans scaled the cage to save Lawler, but Memphis cops pulled them down--it was amazing heat. Somehow, Idol made it out the building alive, but not before giving one of the best promos of his career: "I grew up in Las Vegas rolling the dice and spinning the roulette wheel, jack. I've been a gambler since the day I was born and I'll be a gambler to the day I die!"

The next week, even with Lawler out selling the injury, 9,000 fans showed up at the Coliseum for Bill Dundee's return against Idol and Rich--that's how much heat the heels had.


Here's the infamous Lawler vs Idol, hair vs hair cage match:

"Good God Almighty!! Jericho has done it!!"

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r10/masson223/y2j.png

With our 7th pick, Shotgun Saturday Night selects Chris Jericho becoming WWE's first Undisputed Champion in the Storyline category.


Jericho faced The Rock in a match at No Mercy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_No_Mercy#2001) for the WCW Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_World_Heavyweight_Championship) after Jericho defeated Rob Van Dam in a number one contenders match. Jericho finally won "the big one", pinning The Rock after debuting a new finisher, the Breakdown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebuster#Full_nelson_facebuster).[36] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Jericho#cite_note-35) This championship victory was Jericho's first official world championship victory (Jericho had actually won the WWF Championship from Triple H on April 17, 2000 only to have that match stricken from the record 15 minutes later.) One night later, the two put their differences aside and won the WWF Tag Team titles from the Dudley Boyz, with Jericho becoming a double champion.[35] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Jericho#cite_note-wwe1-34) After they lost the titles to Test (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Martin) and Booker T (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booker_Huffman),[35] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Jericho#cite_note-wwe1-34) they continued their feud. On the November 5 edition of Raw, The Rock defeated Jericho to regain the WCW Championship with a surprise roll up (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_%28professional_wrestling%29#Roll-up). Following the match, Jericho savagely attacked The Rock with a steel chair (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling_attacks#Chair_shot), thus marking a full-fledged heel turn that lasted for two years. At the Survivor Series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_Series_%282001%29), Jericho would almost cost The Rock, and the WWF, victory in their elimination matchup by attacking him again.[37] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Jericho#cite_note-36) On December 9, at Vengeance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vengeance_%282001%29), Chris Jericho defeated both The Rock for the rechristened World Championship, and Stone Cold Steve Austin for his WWF Championship, on the same night to become the first-ever wrestler to hold both championships at the same time, making him the first WWF Undisputed Champion.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Jericho#cite_note-wwebio-1)[38] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Jericho#cite_note-37) He fought both of the men he defeated at Vengeance on separate occasions and retained his title at the next two pay-per-views, Royal Rumble (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Rumble_%282002%29) (vs. The Rock)[39] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Jericho#cite_note-38) and No Way Out (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Way_Out_%282002%29) (vs. Stone Cold)

[Superflyer]

Are you serious MQS, that was my pick. Damn back to the board.

[Superflyer]

Team Stylin' and Profilin' is proud to select as our Tag Team, from the Island of Samoa, The Islanders.

http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/pictures/i/islanders/02.jpg

Initially, the Islanders wrestled preliminary matches. The won most of the matches and occasional got matches against higher card teams, such as the Hart Foundation or the Dream Team. Their big break came in October 1986 when they won a tag-team battle royal at Madison Square Garden, last eliminating the favored King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd. While it appeared initially that a feud with Studd and Bundy was on the horizon, that idea was scrapped when Studd left the WWF. The Islanders soon found themselves on the lower end of the card, losing to more established tag teams such as the Dream Team, Nikolai Volkoff & The Iron Sheik, and Don Muraco and Bob Orton.
During this period, the WWF was loaded with great tag teams, and the Islanders were lost in the mix during early 1987. They were the first team to wrestle the Hart Foundation on television after the Harts won the titles in January, but lost. They soon found themselves in a long losing streak against a new team, Demolition. They began wrestling other face teams during this period, usually the Rougeau Brothers, and these matches were typically a double disqualification. With little momentum, the Islanders were left off the biggest card of the year, WrestleMania III.

Shortly after WrestleMania, the Islanders continued the losing to Demolition, but were scheduled for a match on the WWF Superstars of Wrestling. Their opponents were the popular Can-Am Connection (Rick Martel & Tom Zenk), in what was billed as a scientific match.
Manager Bobby Heenan appeared at ringside during the bout, seemingly surprising both teams, the referee, and the commentators. The confusion allowed the Islanders to attack the Can-Ams from behind, giving the Islanders a countout win. Tama's gave a flying headbutt to Tom Zenk on the arena floor as Bobby Heenan gloated over his new tag team. A summer feud with the most popular tag team in the federation was brewing, but was scrapped when Tom Zenk departed the WWF.
The Islanders appeared at the very first Survivor Series. They were part of the 10 team survivor Tag Team elimination match. While Haku lay on the mat during the match, Dynamite Kid of the British Bulldogs attempted a falling headbutt from the top rope; announcer Jesse Ventura immediately pointed out Dynamite Kid's mistake in mentioning, "Oh, no, you don't want to butt heads with these South Sea Island Boys." Dynamite Kid was practically knocked out, as Haku shook his head, arose, and landed a throat kick to Dyanmite Kid, pinning him.
As heels, The Islanders had two major feuds. The first was with Strike Force, who were formed in the wake of Tito Santana saving Martel — now without a tag team partner — from the Islanders' 2-on-1 attack. The second was with The British Bulldogs, whose mascot Matilda was "dog-napped" by The Islanders on an episode of WWF Superstars of Wrestling; in the weeks folling the "dog-napping" incident, the Islanders and Heenan brought a leash to the ring and — to taunt their foes — would pantomime feeding and caressing a dog. The two teams met on opposite sides of a 6-man tag team match (along with Koko B. Ware teaming with the Bulldogs and Bobby Heenan with The Islanders) at WrestleMania IV.
The Islanders were disbanded when Tama left the WWF in mid-1988.

Andy Kaufman
http://www.wrestling-news.com/artman/uploads/andykaufman.jpg

Kaufman grew up admiring professional wrestlers and the world in which they perform. Inspired by the theatricality of kayfabe, the staged nature of the sport, and his own tendency to form elaborate hoaxes, Kaufman began wrestling women during his act and was the self-proclaimed "Inter-Gender Wrestling Champion of the World," taking on an aggressive and ridiculous personality based upon the characters invented by professional wrestlers. He offered a $1,000 reward to any woman who could pin him.

Later, after a challenge from professional wrestler Jerry "The King" Lawler, Kaufman would step into the ring (in the Memphis wrestling circuit) with a man — Lawler himself. Their ongoing feud, often featuring Jimmy Hart and other heels in Kaufman's corner, included a broken neck for Kaufman as a result of Lawler's piledriver and a famous on-air fight on a 1982 episode of Late Night with David Letterman. For some time after that, Kaufman appeared everywhere wearing a neck brace, insisting that his injuries were worse than they were. Kaufman would continue to defend the Inter-Gender Championship in the Mid-South Coliseum, and offered an extra prize, other than the $1,000.00: that if he was pinned, the woman who pinned him would get to marry him and that he (Kaufman) would shave his head bald as well.

Match - Hogan vs. Warrior: Champion vs. Champion

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5e/WrestleManiaVI.jpg

As a result of his victory over Hogan at WrestleMania VI; then-WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion The Ultimate Warrior was the first wrestler in World Wrestling Federation history to win a World Title while holding another singles championship. Other wrestlers in Federation history that have replicated this feat are Shawn Michaels (Held both the WWF World and European titles.) and Triple H (Unified the World Heavyweight Title with the Intercontinental Title). However, the Intercontinental title would be vacated soon after WrestleMania VI and its fate would be decided in a single elimination tournament. "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig and Tito Santana (a two-time former Intercontinental Champion) would meet each other in the finals with Hennig scoring the victory and the title. Many cite Hennig as being the greatest Intercontinental Champion of the 1990s. The Hogan-Warrior showdown was at this point in time the longest match in WrestleMania history, lasting 22 minutes and 51 seconds, and would be the only time they would face each other until October 1998 at WCW Holloween Havoc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_Havoc#1988), where Hogan got the win.

This was Hulk Hogan's first actual WrestleMania loss. However, Hogan's WrestleMania record was already blemished with a double-disqualification draw in a WWF Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Championship) tournament match against André the Giant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_the_Giant) at WrestleMania IV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania_IV). Hogan's next pinfall loss at a WrestleMania would again be at the Skydome twelve years later against The Rock at WrestleMania X8 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania_X8).

From wwe.com:

Champion vs. champion. The two biggest names in the business. Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior. It was “The Ultimate Challenge.” It was the main event for WrestleMania VI in which both Hogan's WWE and the Warrior's Intercontinental Championship were on the line.

In what went down as one of the greatest matches in WrestleMania history, both Hogan and Warrior gave it their all for nearly 20 minutes. After Hogan escaped from a Warrior splash, the adrenaline began to run through his body and Warrior saw that all-too-familiar look in his opponent's eyes – Hogan was about to finish the Warrior off.

Hogan nailed the Warrior with a boot to the face and went for the patented leg drop to end the match. But at the last second, Warrior moved and nailed a stunned Hogan with a second splash to win both championships and the “Ultimate Challenge!”

In a true show of sportsmanship, Hogan handed Warrior the WWE Championship after the match. The two then shared an emotional embrace in the center of the ring.

More than 12 hours since Drunk posted, so I guess I'm up...

For the final choice of Round #7, Team Malfunction Junction is pleased to select in the Title Belt category...The (NWA/WCW/World) Big Gold Belt.

http://www.100megsfree4.com/wiawrestling/graphics/WCWWORLD.jpg

The Big Gold Belt debuted in 1985 after being ordered by Jim Crockett Promotions to give to NWA World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair.

In July 1991 Flair and WCW parted ways while Flair was still champion. Flair had originally given WCW a $25,000 deposit that was required of anyone holding the belt. After Flair left WCW, WCW Vice President Jim Herd refused to return the deposit with additional interest back, so Flair kept possession of the belt.

Flair soon signed with the WWF and brought the Big Gold Belt with him. After threats of a lawsuit from WCW, the WWF blurred the face of the belt whenever Flair appeared with it on camera.

Eventually, Flair returned to WCW and the Big Gold Belt returned to WCW television (although the belt that was used on television was not the original belt that Flair retained possession of because the deposit was never returned).

The belt has three gold plates and was the first to feature a name plate onto which the champion's name was etched. The original belt simply stated "World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion" without indicating any designated promotion. For copyright purposes, World Wrestling Entertainment added its own logo to the belt in March 2003.

For the first pick of Round 8, Team Malfunction Junction selects in the Personality category: From Norman, Oklahoma...Boomer Sooner...Good Ol' J.R...Jim Ross.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Jim_Ross_No_Mercy_2007.jpg/200px-Jim_Ross_No_Mercy_2007.jpg

Jim Ross started his career as a wrestling commentator in the mid-70s, eventually rising to the position of lead play-by-play commentator for Mid-South Wrestling in 1986. After Mid-South was purchased by Jim Crockett, Ross moved on to become the PBP lead for Crockett's NWA promotion, which became WCW.

Ross left WCW in 1993 after Eric Bischoff was promoted to WCW Executive Producer. Soon, Ross joined the WWF, where he debuted (wearing a toga) at Wrestlemania IX (which was held outdoors at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas).

In early 1994, Ross suffered his first attack of Bell's Palsy, which left the left half of his face partially paralyzed and his speech slurred. Ever the humanitarian, Vince McMahon fired Ross two weeks after the Bell's Palsy attack.

In late 1994, McMahon was indicted by the US Federal Government, and Ross was re-hired to take over PBP duties on Monday Night Raw. After McMahon was acquitted, he returned to Raw and Ross was again released.

Once again, Ross was re-hired by the WWF in time for Wrestlemania XI. In the summer of 1996, Ross joined the Raw commentating team with Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler. After the "Montreal Screwjob" at Survivor Series 1997, McMahon made his heel turn, assuming the role of the evil owner Mr. McMahon, and Ross became the main commentator on Monday Night Raw.

In 1998, Ross took a brief break from Raw after a recurrence of his Bell's Palsy. Except for a few brief absences, Ross was the "voice of Raw" for nearly 12 years, until June 2008, when he was "drafted" to Smackdown (and Michael Cole was drafted to Raw), where he is still the main play-by-play voice.

Ross was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007. His induction was introduced by his good friend, Steve Austin...or as JR would say: "STONE COLD! STONE COLD! STONE COLD!"

Match - Hogan vs. Warrior: Champion vs. Champion

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5e/WrestleManiaVI.jpg

As a result of his victory over Hogan at WrestleMania VI; then-WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion The Ultimate Warrior was the first wrestler in World Wrestling Federation history to win a World Title while holding another singles championship. Other wrestlers in Federation history that have replicated this feat are Shawn Michaels (Held both the WWF World and European titles.) and Triple H (Unified the World Heavyweight Title with the Intercontinental Title). However, the Intercontinental title would be vacated soon after WrestleMania VI and its fate would be decided in a single elimination tournament. "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig and Tito Santana (a two-time former Intercontinental Champion) would meet each other in the finals with Hennig scoring the victory and the title. Many cite Hennig as being the greatest Intercontinental Champion of the 1990s. The Hogan-Warrior showdown was at this point in time the longest match in WrestleMania history, lasting 22 minutes and 51 seconds, and would be the only time they would face each other until October 1998 at WCW Holloween Havoc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_Havoc#1988), where Hogan got the win.

This was Hulk Hogan's first actual WrestleMania loss. However, Hogan's WrestleMania record was already blemished with a double-disqualification draw in a WWF Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Championship) tournament match against André the Giant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_the_Giant) at WrestleMania IV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania_IV). Hogan's next pinfall loss at a WrestleMania would again be at the Skydome twelve years later against The Rock at WrestleMania X8 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania_X8).

From wwe.com:

Champion vs. champion. The two biggest names in the business. Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior. It was “The Ultimate Challenge.” It was the main event for WrestleMania VI in which both Hogan's WWE and the Warrior's Intercontinental Championship were on the line.

In what went down as one of the greatest matches in WrestleMania history, both Hogan and Warrior gave it their all for nearly 20 minutes. After Hogan escaped from a Warrior splash, the adrenaline began to run through his body and Warrior saw that all-too-familiar look in his opponent's eyes – Hogan was about to finish the Warrior off.

Hogan nailed the Warrior with a boot to the face and went for the patented leg drop to end the match. But at the last second, Warrior moved and nailed a stunned Hogan with a second splash to win both championships and the “Ultimate Challenge!”

In a true show of sportsmanship, Hogan handed Warrior the WWE Championship after the match. The two then shared an emotional embrace in the center of the ring.

With our next pick team Piper's Pits is happy to select in the category of Storyline:
Macho Man bit by a cobra.
http://www.ugo.com/games/legends-of-wrestlemania/images/jake-the-snake.jpghttp://www.wrestleinfo.com/Img68.jpg

Randy "Macho Man" Savage VS Jake "The Snake" Roberts


At Summerslam 1991, Macho Man and Miss Elizabeth were to be married but while the reception was taking place, they were presented with a present from Jake "The Snake" Roberts: a king cobra snake.

A few weeks after his gift, Roberts attacked Savage in the middle of the ring and tied his arms in the ropes. With Savage subdued, Roberts opened his infamous bag and out came the same king cobra. Roberts held back WWE security with the snake and then proceeded to irritate the snake by slapping it, causing it to bite Macho Man's bicep!

It was at this point things went horribly wrong. Of course, everything before this moment was suppose to happen, including the bite. What wasn't suppose to happen was the snake biting and chewing and Macho Man's muscle tissue as Roberts tried desperately to pull the snake off. With Robert's pulling at the snake, its teeth dug deeper and deeper into the Macho Man before it finally let go.

Luckily (and obviously) the cobra had been defanged so Savage suffered no snake-bite poisoning or major damage to his arm. Due to the gore and violent reality of the angle, it is one of the most original, well-known, and disturbing wrestling angles in the history of the business.

Due to fan pressure, Savage would be "re-instated" as a wrestler by WWF president Jack Tunney so that he could do battle with Roberts. The feud was brutal. During the Tuesday in Texas pay-per-view, Roberts — after losing to Savage — beat him down, then forced Elizabeth to beg for mercy; when Roberts was dissatisfied with her, he slapped her hard across the face.

For PPV team Droopy's Dungeon selects

The Montreal Screwjob
The two men fought at Survivor Series '97. Bret was the champ and this was going to be his last match before leaving for WCW. Shortly before this match, Vince informed Bret he would no longer honor their 20 year contract. He used the excuse that he could no longer afford him because they were losing the Monday Night Wars to WCW. Others have said that since the company was going public, Vince needed to get long term liabilities (ex: a 20 year contract) off his balance sheet. Bret had worked out a deal with Vince where he would not lose the title to Shawn that night. He offered to lose the belt to anyone else, but he refused to lose to Shawn in his home country of Canada. The match ended with Vince McMahon calling for the bell even though Bret was in the process of reversing the sharpshooter. After the match, Shawn ran to the back with the title. On TV Bret spit on Vince, broke the TV equipment, and wrote out WCW with his fingers to the audience. Backstage he gave Vince McMahon a black eye.

Just to clarify, you need to select a PPV event for this category, so I'm assuming you want The Survivor Series '97? Also, you still have a pick to make up.

[Flamesguy_SJ]

Also, DAN0383 has been AK'd, and StoneCole PM'd me that he'll be gone till Monday, so he's also AK'd until then. Superflyer is up!

Debut in the World Wrestling Entertainment (2002-present)

http://srv0204-05.sjc3.imeem.com/g/p/fb0ee0482fe90e196fa98b177b3fb25b_web.jpg

His total Cruiserweight Championship reigns are record-setting 8 (5 in WCW, 3 in WWE). In WWE, he is a 1 time World Heavyweight Champion, a 3 time Cruiserweight Champion and a 4 time WWE Tag Team Champion as well as the winner of 2006 Royal Rumble.

yup SS 97 ... sorry for the confusion

[Superflyer]

Team Sylin' and Profilin' is proud to select as their Womens Wrestler, Amy Dumas AKA Lita.

http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/7787/lita12gk.jpg

After briefly working on the independent circuit and in Extreme Championship Wrestling, Dumas signed with World Wrestling Federation in 1999. Originally, she was paired with Essa Rios, but she achieved her greatest push alongside Matt and Jeff Hardy as Team Xtreme. Throughout her career, she won the WWE Women's Championship four times.
Dumas had an off-screen relationship with Matt Hardy, which ended in 2005 after her affair with Adam "Edge" Copeland. WWE used the real-life drama between the trio as a storyline throughout 2005 and 2006, which led to Dumas being booed by the fans for the first time and her character becoming villainous on-screen. The relationship also led to the firing of Hardy in 2005, although he was rehired later in the year.
