Welcome to the inaugural PWA draft. Twenty independent territories will select from the biggest pool of wrestlers ever assembled. The Dead Wrestling Society is about to make their first pick of the evening. Let's go to the podium!
With our first pick of the PWA draft, the Dead Wrestling Society selects...
A.J. Styles!
Wow, what a momentous pick! A.J. Styles, a former TNA Triple Crown champion, is now the face of the DWS! Stay tuned for more exciting coverage, right here on DWS-TV!
And we're back, here on DWS-TV. Many big names have been chosen in the draft, and now it seems that the DWS is ready with their second round selection. Back to the podium we go!
With our second pick, the DWS selects...
CM Punk!
Quite the unexpected pick! The DWS seems to be taking an unconventional approach to this draft. Will it pan out? And what will we see from A.J. Styles and CM Punk in the same ring? There's only one way to find out....stay tuned!
By the way, I meant to say this in the draft thread, but I forgot. That is the absolute most perfect picture of CM Punk for a draft. I have no idea why, but it just makes him look so much more badass than he usually looks on ECW.
Thanks. I like that both of my pictures reflect the personalities I want those guys to have. A.J. looks like a fun-loving kind of a guy, and Punk looks like a cocky badass. Perfect for my top face and heel.
Good lord. Finally, I'll get to hear Punk proclaim "I'm Better the You" and not have it be on a DVD.
It would amuse me if next year Byrne did a women's fed or Texas fed. I'd just like to see how he tries to make it a dark, demonic, ECW homage led by James Mitchell or Raven. -- Lucky, 2009
see. i told you byrne was the way to go here. like i said, he's a big dork. -- Ziggy, 2009
Okay, I love Melissa. That much is obvious on this board, but even I wouldn't have taken her since I was really hoping to see what kinds of divisions Doug and Fire built. Now we're starting a third and I still bet a few of us were waiting til later to pick up some of the scraps and get a small division going. I guess I just don't see the point of wasting a pick on Melissa especially when you don't even follow it up with someone for her.

I don't know. Despite there being Doug's women's promotion and Fire's women's division, the only monster heel chick taken thus far has been Awesome Kong. Not to name-drop, but there's tons of them in Japan and no-one seems poised to snatch them all up.
Any of them would make a fine foil for a babyface Melissa....
The thing is that while some people might have been thinking of "picking up the scraps" for a women's division after doug and fire Dead is just joining in with them to snag top talent. Which, yeah, puts him at a disadvantage with the men but its his call. If he wanted Melissa he had to realize that doug and fire probably wouldn't have left her out there for too long.
See, I've pretty much abandoned the idea of a division because I don't want to have to piece together scraps and because I don't want to have to go after women in the heart of the draft. So its just strategy. And since Dead is seemingly drafting only wrestlers CURRENTLY in their prime he's actually probably the best to do this since a lot of his guys will stay on the board as people grab wrestlers from the last 80+ years that Dead's not considering.
Or don't do either. If you can't find an image you like at either than don't force it. Just give me something you like and which will look good on the board.
