Also, since the draft seems to be going so well, I thought I'd propose adding two additional rounds to fill out either two "Wildcard" categories, or a Wildcard and a Canadian category. Please PM me with what you would like, or reply here and we'll hopefully have a decision made within the next few days.
The team of Eddy Guerrero and Love Machine Art Barr, known as La Pareja del Terror, along with Madonna's Boyfriend (aka Louie Spicolli), Black Cat, Konnan and King Lion (Luis Medina Delgadillo) were the most hated group in Mexico during their brief run in the early 1990s. The most iconic match for this group was when the team of Guerrero and Barr took on El Hijo del Santo and Octagón in a double hair versus double mask match on November 6, 1994 at the Los Angeles Sports Arena in the When Worlds Collidepay-per-view. The match was an instant classic and achieved a five star rating (the highest rating a match could receive) by American wrestling journalist, Dave Meltzer, editor of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Even more interesting is the fact that Barr had begged to be included in the match, which was originally supposed to be Guerrero versus El Hijo del Santo, as a battle of the sons of the legendary La Pareja Atomica, Gory Guerrero and the original El Santo. After their "loss," Guerrero and Barr were shaved bald and received $7,500 each for the match.
With Barr on the verge of superstardom and Guerrero right by his side, the team was expected to make an impact in the United States with Extreme Championship Wrestling, where they would have most likely feuded with the Public Enemy, the top act of the promotion. Only two and a half weeks after this classic match, however, Barr died, while home for Thanksgiving, at the age of twenty eight. No cause could be determined for Barr's death, but it has been widely speculated that his death may have been the result of a bad reaction to mixing alcohol and pain pills, which were found in his system at the time of his death. With the Mexican economy collapsing shortly thereafter, owner Antonio Peña could no longer afford to keep Los Gringos Locos. Guerrero and Konnan headed to ECW, with Konnan also beginning the short lived Promo Azteca promotion in Mexico. Spicolli was soon hired by WWF as Rad Radford, and Black Cat headed back to Japan. Both Guerrero and Konnan would go on to major success in the United States. In addition to Barr, Madonna's Boyfriend (1971-1998), King Lion (1968-2002), Eddie Guerrero (1967-2005) and Black Cat (1954-2006) have all died, leaving Konnan as the only surviving member of Los Gringos Locos.
With their 10th pick Team Shooting Star Press selects, Joey Styles in the personality category.
Joseph Carmine Bonsignore[1] (born July 14, 1971) better known by his ring nameJoey Styles, is a former Americanprofessional wrestling play-by-play commentator and former professional in the field of advertising sales. He is currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment, as the Director of Digital Media Content.
Styles is best known for his work in Extreme Championship Wrestling for its entire run, from its 1994 name change to its 2001 bankruptcy. Styles spent most of the run as the promotion's only commentator, providing both play-by-play and color commentary, and was the first announcer in history to call an entire live pay-per-view event solo.
Styles returned to announcing at the World Wrestling Entertainment event ECW One Night Stand, and subsequently worked for WWE's RAW brand with Jonathan Coachman and Jerry Lawler until May 1, 2006, when he "quit" after a worked shoot, in which he complained about the lack of "wrestling" and his dislike of "sports entertainment".
With my tenth pick in the draft, I am proud to select n the Storyline category – Brother vs Brother – Owen Hart vs big brother Bret
Bret tried to make amends with Owen, teaming with him on a regular basis. Bret even secured the two a shot at the WWF Tag Team Championship. They faced the Quebecers for the titles at the 1994 Royal Rumble. Initially everything was fine between the brothers, but when Bret hurt his knee (kayfabe) and was unable to tag Owen in for a long period of time, the younger Hart got frustrated. When the referee stopped the match due to Bret's damaged knee, Owen snapped; he kicked his brother in the knee and then walked off, starting his run as a heel.[14]
The two brothers faced off for the first time at WrestleMania X, where Owen Hart shocked the world by cleanly pinning his older brother. Later in the evening, Bret Hart won the WWF Title while Owen Hart stood by and watched in jealousy as Bret celebrated in the ring.[15] Owen won the King of the Ring Tournament with Jim Neidhart’s help (turning Neidhart heel in the process).[16] After the victory, Owen took the nickname “The King of Harts."
Owen and Bret feuded throughout the summer of 1994, clashing many times both in singles and later in tag team matches (with Bret joined by the returning British Bulldog). Two matches stand out in this feud: first, their Steel Cage match at SummerSlam which Bret won after a hard fought match.[17] The second was a lumberjack match on August 17 that Owen Hart initially won and was announced as World champion; Bret won the match after it was ordered to continue due to interference.[18] At the Survivor Series, Owen struck the most damaging blow against his brother as he conned his own mother Helen Hart to throw in the towel for Bret. Owen was at his most manipulative and insincere as he pleaded with her to think of his brother's well-being. The ploy cost Bret the world title to Bob Backlund.[19]
Owen also prevented Bret from regaining the title at the 1995 Royal Rumble when he interfered in the match between Bret and new champion Diesel.[20] In the weeks after the Rumble, Bret and Owen clashed again with Bret soundly defeating his brother, thus putting an end to their feud for the time being.

Anyways just incase, I'm gonna make my pick, if I'm out of turn we can take my pick out.
Prototype made his last pick within his 12 hour window at 9:36pm on the 19th, which put Flamesguy_SJ on the clock.
A 12 hour AK meant that at 9:36am March 20th, the clock started on GreenTeaFrapp. A 12 hour AK meant that at 9:36pm March 20th the clock started on you. That put SteveToms on the clock with 3 active AKs as of 9:36 this morning.
With your pick, all the AKs are clear, and the draft is caught up. Everyone but CMPunk has made 10 picks and CMPunk is on the clock until 6:24am tomorrow morning for the last pick of Round 10, and the first pick of Round 11.

With our 10th Round Pick, the Second City Saints select:
In the 90's-00's category
"The Master and Ruler of the World"
"Sycho" Sid Vicious
Sid made his TV debut in the WWF on the July 20, 1991 episode of WWF Superstars under the name Sid Justice. He was announced as the special guest referee for the main event of that year's SummerSlam, where The Ultimate Warrior and then-WWF ChampionHulk Hogan teamed up against The Triangle of Terror (Sgt. Slaughter, Col. Mustafa, and Gen. Adnan) in a 3-on-2 Handicap Match. Later that night, Sid saved "The Macho Man" Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth from an attack at the hands of The Undertaker and Jake "The Snake" Roberts at the newly-wed couple's reception. Sid dominated a short feud against The Undertaker before he took on Jake. In a match with Roberts Sid injured his biceps and couldn't wrestle at Survivor Series (1991).
Entering at number 29, Sid participated at the 1992 Royal Rumble Match, wherein the winner would win the vacant WWF Title. He managed to be one of the Final Four wrestlers, along with Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and Ric Flair. He eliminated Savage and then Hogan over the top rope, leaving him and Flair in the ring. Hogan, who was still at ringside after being eliminated, grabbed Sid’s arm and distracted him long enough for Flair to eliminate Sid, win the Royal Rumble Match, and become the new WWF Champion. After the match, Sid and Hogan got into an argument in the ring and had to be separated by security. This incident temporarily turned Sid into a heel.
Less than a week later, on the January 25, 1992 episode of WWF Superstars, WWF President Jack Tunney held a press conference to announce who among Sid, Savage, Hogan, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and The Undertaker would face Ric Flair for the WWF Championship at WrestleMania VIII. Before Tunney even announced who the #1 contender would be, Sid stood up as if Tunney called his name. Yet to Sid’s annoyance, Tunney chose Hogan. After the press conference, Sid referred to it as “the most bogus act Jack Tunney has ever pulled off”. Sid later issued an apology to Hogan, which Hogan accepted.
Sid and Hogan then teamed up to face The Undertaker and Ric Flair on the February 8 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event. During the match, after double-clotheslined Undertaker and Flair, Hogan reached to Sid for a tag. Sid refused to tag in, and walked out of the match. Hogan won the match by DQ.
On February 22 on an episode of WWF Superstars, Sid appeared as a guest on Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake's "The Barber Shop". Knowing that Hulk Hogan (Beefcake's good friend) was not in the arena, Sid attacked Beefcake and destroyed the Barber Shop set with a chair (this was the final Barber Shop segment). Later that night, it was announced that Hogan would battle Sid (and not WWF Champion Ric Flair) at the main event of WrestleMania VIII; as a result, Flair would now face Randy Savage for the WWF Title. A week later, Sid hired Harvey Whippleman as his manager.
During their match at WrestleMania VIII, after Hogan got a near fall following his Atomic Leg Drop on Sid. Harvey Whippleman interfered, causing Hogan to win by disqualification and Papa Shango then came to the ring and attacked Hogan. Sid and Papa Shango continued to double-team Hogan until The Ultimate Warrior made his return and saved Hogan.
A month later, Sid left the WWF.[1]
With our 11th Round Pick, the Second City Saints select:
In the Storyline category
Raven Vs Tommy Dreamer
Raven made his debut with Stevie Richards, attacking Tommy Dreamer and claiming Dreamer was his enemy when they were children at summer camp. Richards soon brought Raven a valet, Beulah McGillicutty, a girl from Dreamer and Raven's pasts, who had unrequited feelings for Dreamer as a child, but was now seeking revenge. Raven and Dreamer had a multi-year ongoing feud with a great deal of matches; Dreamer got over as an underdog face showing resilience and tenacity in the spite of Raven coming out victorious every single time.
