NXT isn't a company, it's a brand within a company. A developmental brand at that.

But I suppose it's title has been defended around the world? Probably a more legitimate claim to being a world title than say TNA or ROH or AEW?

Good point. No idea.

I fucked up my post. Stupid phone.

WWE WCW NWA TNA NJPW AJPW NOAH NXT

AEW I’m on the fence about but only one guy there qualifies and he’s won world titles elsewhere so it takes care of itself.

NXT is WWE run by non-idiots and you can’t convince me otherwise so it’s fine.

I’m not counting ROH because they were a popular company for like a year and they’ve sucked ever since, and seem to enjoy being garbage that nobody watches.

bodyslam - women’s revolution started with the whole AJ Lee/Stephanie McMahon nonsense. “Give Divas a chance” kicked it off and Banks, Lynch, Paige, Charlotte, Bayley, etc debuted shortly after. So whenever that was.

Basically AJ Lee and anyone else on the WWE roster before the four horsewomen got called up counts.

Oh fuck me, here we go again with KING KID.

One of those companies does not fit in with the rest, and it's the one Adam Cole is in right now. To me NXT is a glorified indy. I'd say ROH is more of a "major company" than NXT. So I disagree, but I'm not going to challenge it. Like I said, Adam Cole being one of the first round picks makes life a little easier for me.

He was ROH Champion so whether we go NXT or ROH, he fits the bill.

^what this guy said. It’s a non issue.

I simultaneously love and hate this format. RT came up with some neat categories but having all these specific rules prevented me from doing the batshit insane thing I really wanted to do. Oh well. There's always next time.

So my next idea was to only pick wrestlers I had never drafted before. Round 1 was a success with finally grabbing The Hulkster. Then I had big plans for the Road Warriors in Round 2. Yeah, yeah, I know the Road Warriors finish first in every single tag team thing PW ever does, but they only had to slip past ONE poster. Dammit UT! Couldn't you have let the Road Warriors finish 2nd in something just this once?

So I went with the next best thing in Demolition even though this is like the 3rd time I've drafted them, killing the very rules I set for myself. Still, they fit into my plans better than anybody else.

I was honestly going to go somewhere else and maybe even get cute but then I decided I’d stop being stupid and draft LOD as I’ve never had the chance to in the past.

No time for GIFs.

But here’s a five second pose.























































And done.

Passing up on my favourite tag team of all time to instead try and form some kind of plan for my roster.

Might bite me in the ass, might not. Guess we’ll see.

So Camp Cornette was an official stable?

I'm pretty sure it is. Vader, Owen, Davey, Yokozuna... Mantaur. I think that's what started Yoko's face turn was Vader attacking him.

That’s fair I just drew a blank at first and that’s what came up. Never crossed my mind.

What this guy said. Vader was the crown jewel of the stable.

Dammit RT! Why couldn't you have picked your favorite tag team of all time? Rowan & Harper were to play a major role in my plans. Figured I'd be able to snatch them up in one of the late rounds. What am I gonna do with Demolition now??

Definitely. Not at first during the Mantaur/Heavenly Bodies dark days, but they definitely were from the time Bulldog joined. The "official" Camp Cornette lasted a little over a year and was a huge part of WWF programming.

Trying something a little different by drafting Kenny Omega to my roster. This has been fun so far. I have my thinking hat on and am looking into the future rounds to see how to construct my roster.

Camp Cornette were a huge part of 1996 and played foil to top guy Shawn all summer and into the fall. The stable could have been taken to new heights had they put the belt on Vader and given him a long, dominant run. That was his best chance to shine in the WWF as he had a talented supporting cast around him to give him an edge. At the very least, Vader should have gotten the Sid spot. Shawn is my guy but man he was a bitch in the 90's.

Can we make trades?

Well my plan is already shot because @theshow took my next pick. Of all the people in stables you take Omega. How dare you.

Welp here goes nothin.

You know, I had a feeling that when I took Omega, I was taking your next pick. He is usually a guy I never pick but this time I wanted him on my roster. I promise it wasn’t intentional! Haha

To be honest I'm struggling to think of wrestlers who were never part of a stable.

I had the opposite reaction when I saw someone picked Ric Flair. I was like "wtf? When!?" then remembered Evolution was a thing.

We were able to in past drafts. RT ?

Yes trading will be allowed before round 1 begins. bodyslam

Typically from when the last pick is made there's a 24 hour trade window. I didn't add it to the OP but oh well. Everyone will be aware.

...

Speaking of the OP, I added the full rosters at the bottom so it's a bit easier to keep track of who everyone has picked.

I mean there was also that legendary stable called The Four Horseman.

The Four what?

It's funny you bring that up because I always forget Ric Flair was a part of that for some reason. He was the lead guy and I always think of the other 3 first. No idea why.

That’s super strange. Ric Flair is the one I would name first followed by Arn and then fuck the rest.

But shout out to the Nation of Domination for getting me The Rock.

But as mentioned before; so many AWESOME names were in stables and I was honestly stuck between three guys but went with Rocky. Might regret it. Might not.

This is the PG13 version of Lionheart saying Sting was that guy from TNA :lol:

Oh fuck you KING KID, stealing The Rock from right under my nose. Bastard.

You know what, a cross-company dream match I always wanted to see from 2003 through 2005 was WWE RAW Evolution's Ric Flair versus NWA-TNA's Sting. Feel like it would've been quite the unique first-ever one-time-only match-up scenario.
