Neglected new high: In the last set of new highs and lows, I missed Shinya Hashimoto, who jumped to 143 from 266 in WarGames. I'm missing OO1/OO2 for him, so it's possible he placed higher there, but I doubt it. (Not for lack of talent! For the record, I'm the first person to ever take Shinya in a draft, back in 2009.)
Debuts: Surprised to say this, so maybe someone will catch me, but on my numbers, both Zach Wentz / Nash Carter (159) and Jacob Fatu (172) are new to (at least) the regulation drafts. Welcome!
Other new highs: Just the one - Karrion Kross gently hops (White Rabbit-style) from 189 in Wargames to 167.
New Lows/Guaranteed Lows: None and none! But I expect that one of the three wrestlers I have with floors in the 180s/190s will drop down.
Of all the names drafted, I never expected it for him.
I didn't expect anyone to take him as a single in the top 12 rounds. Thought for sure he would last another 5-6 rounds be fore I needed to worry about that team.
He fits a specific idea I'm putting together and isn't someone I normally take. I might be willing to trade him if I get a few others that fit and he becomes extraneous.

Meh, part of the game. Had no plan other than Steiners/Hardyz. That's why I took Scott first, he had more value as a single. I just didn't really want to have to use him as such.
No idea where I’m going with this. Just gonna see how it goes. I’m a little surprised this guy hasn’t been picked up yet. I think it’s a safe/solid pick here. I always thought he should have had more runs with the world title.

183. Kane
Mayhem up
Absolutely solid. Kane was probably one of my top three favorite wrestlers as a kid, and he always seems to go (1) later than I would take him if we weren't competing (2) just a round or two before I can get him. (He just made my list after the Phoenix pick.)
I had this Kane toy as a child, which unmasked to a deformed face with a perfect goatee? Also, apparently there was some "sweat" action I never figured out or even tried.
