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?

Yes, just as Prototype could move Bret Hart to the 1991-2000 category because of his WCW debut.
Savage signed with WCW, and his first appearance was slated for 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, shaking hands with his friend and rival. His first WCW feud was against Avalanche. At SuperBrawl V, he teamed up with Sting and took on Avalanche and Big Bubba Rogers in a tag team match, which Sting and Savage won.[58] However, his encounter with Avalanche continued and ended at Uncensored 1995, with Savage getting the win by disqualification after a fan attacked Savage.[59] 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 (created when former champion Vader was stripped of the belt for attacking WCW on-air Commissioner Nick Bockwinkel) and went on to defeat The Butcher in the first round[60] and "Stunning" Steve Austin in the quarterfinals.[60] However, Savage interfered in Flair's match vs. 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 vs. Meng match for the United States Championship at 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] They were both eliminated from the tournament, and had their own match in the main event of The Great American Bash 1995, which Flair won with underhanded tactics.[61] However, Savage defeated Flair in a Lifeguard Lumberjack match at Bash at the Beach 1995.[62] 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 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, 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, in its Hall of Fame. Commentator and wrestling legend 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, Savage won his first WCW World Heavyweight Championship by winning the first-ever 60-man three-ring battle royal.[9][63] He lost the title to Flair a month later at Starrcade 1995: World Cup of Wrestling.[64] Savage won his second WCW World Heavyweight Championship back from Flair on the January 22, 1996 edition of Nitro[65][66] but lost the title back to Flair the next month in a steel cage match at SuperBrawl VI.[67]
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, the nWo was formed when Hulk Hogan turned on Savage, Sting, and Lex Luger and joined "The Outsiders", a tag team of former WWF wrestlers Kevin Nash and Scott Hall.[68] After their inception, one of their main enemies became Macho Man himself. At Halloween Havoc 1996, Savage faced Hogan for the WCW title but lost when the Giant interfered and chokeslammed him.[69]
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.
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.
I Honestly do not even know who Miz and Morrison are
With the final pick of Round 3, Team Malfunction Juction is pleased to select in the 1980's Category, quite possibly the best performer to never hold a World Title: from Manchester, England, the British Bulldog, Davey Boy Smith.
With the first pick of Round 4, Team Malfunction Juction is pleased to select in the Women's Category, the first woman to successfully make the leap from "Diva" to "Wrestler": from Toronto, Ontario, Stratusfaction Guaranteed, Trish Stratus.

Turn up the good, turn down the suck!
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.
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!
In the 2001-2009 category team Roddy's Pit Stains is happy to select:
J-E-Double-F, J-A Double-R, E Double-T!
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.

Mr. Vincent Kennedy McMahon
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.
