Had I gotten Piper at 34, I would have taken MJF at 35. However, I changed gears and gathered my Big Meaty Men.
Then MJF was available again at 67-68, but I traded out of those picks.
And he was still there at 81. So while I have Big Meaty Men at the top of the Card, and Becky Lynch is a headliner in any match she is in, I could use MJF and his promos to carry the show with the Intercontinental Title.
So I grabbed MJF, with no real plan of who he could feud with.
Who?
Who?
Well, how about giving this guy a microphone and an opportunity for a long term feud with MJF?
105. Xavier Woods
Use Woods correctly and I’ll vote for you often. He’s my favorite wrestler.

Making a list for this draft is proving to be pretty tough.
Knowing what Eco was palnning and what Cliff is doing, I probably need to move up some big meaty names who are usually easy grabs late.
But, the new guys seems to slant to older names... Race, Windham, Magnum, Bruno, Nikita, so, do I need to move those kind of names up as well? Plus SG is going to take names I like for sure. And Dev took Tully, so now I gotta wonder about him.
So what to do? Grab names for my main idea, or gamble and take the pieces most likely to go factoring in all of the above.
I was planning on going a different direction here, but Sharky has forced my hand. If the Rock and Roll Express are now off the board, one of my other favorite teams of all time is sure to follow.
Orton is really cementing himself as a top top shelf guy this year. I think he originally went low in these drafts because he wasn't appreciated enough, and now he goes low because he has wrestled everyone. Case in point: I have Reigns, Lesnar, Foley, and Batista. Only Reigns-Lesnar have had a true one-on-one match on TV (Reigns-Batista had a short Raw match that became an everyone-interferes schmozz, I think). But Orton has had a big match with all four.

Yes, but he also has a generation plus before him he's never wrestled. And as a pure WWE guy, he's got a lot of unique matches with guys who are currently making their name elsewhere or who have had their primes in other companies. I've come around a lot on Orton, especially recently as he's seemingly matured a ton and is enjoying his time in wrestling. And I also say that as someone who has enjoyed some of his heel work in the past. But there's some great potential matches for him in something like this. Orton/Sting. Orton/Steamboat. I even think something like Orton/Omega could work in the right situation.
