I'm heading off for the night, here is my shortlist:

1) Alberto El Patron

2) La Sombra

3) Rey Mysterio

4) Penta El Zero M

5) Mascara Dorada

6) Caristico

7) Fenix

8) Johnny Mundo

9) Psycho Clown

10) Atlantis

 

I should be able to make my next pick, though.

4 picks in the books for me so far:

Kazuchika Okada

Shinsuke Nakamura

Kenny Omega

Tetsuya Naito

 

I was hoping to get 2 of the above (Tanahashi/AJ were also in the mix), pretty good start. All 4 can go and can pop a big angle, so my vision of a Japanese NXT style product is off and running.

 

Weirdly if you had of gone Mexico or the US I wa probably doing Japan and those 4 were 1,2,3 and 5 on my list with TANAHASHI 4th (only because of his age and condition). So in an alternate universe not a lot would have changed if WWA Japan had existed. I had discounted AJ because I figured he wasn't lasting to the 2nd round.

Same. I absolutely assumed he would be gone by #4 overall, so I almost pulled the trigger on it in round 1. I had to go with my head though and Okada's 92 pop in Japan. I thought for sure given recent events Omega would be gone too by round 2 and then it was just a matter of who Larrikn picked on who would be leftover. Getting 4 of my top 6 is just great though.

 

I LOVE the McGregor/Punk picks from you. McGregor's pop is great to start and being from Chicago, I'm a total Punk fan-boy and I took him in the 1st when running an American promotion last draft. He usually ends up as wrestler of the year in my sims of it.

I went with McGregor because he's 28 and I figured that's a good long term investment and once it came round to the next round a Punk/McGregor program is simply too tempting not to book. It's set me on a very different path than what I intended but that might be fun too.

You draft them as individuals - you can always try to trade with whoever has the other 1/2.

 

One of the advantages of drafting 1 or 10 is you get the opportunity to secure tag teams with consecutive picks.

 

Ah ok, ive done other drafts before where you can take Tears depending on how many titles they've won, or how long they've been teaming.

<p>Okay the 4 first drafts went pretty good. Cena, Reigns, Rollins and Ambrose give me some good popularity and having <strong>"The Shield"</strong> is nice. </p><p> </p><p>

Now the interesting part begins and my choices will be not so obvious.<img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>
