568. Grizzly Redwood

[Chris Eco]

Okay, Eric texted an excellent authority figure:

570. Dario Cueto



And I feel almost guaranteed to make a mispick here, but I am Ctrl+F'ing like crazy and I don't see him even though I thought I had to take him off my list, so maybe one of you misspelled his name or something. But if not, he is one of my absolute favorites.

571. Cameron Grimes / Trevor Lee

[Road Warrior Shark]

Lets see, I have both members of the New Age Outlaws, All four members of Demolition, even both members of Natural Selection, and I am using NONE of them as thier usual tag teams. Lets add another to that list.

573. Robert Gibson

[The Jewish Cunthead]

574. Howard Finkel

Damnit. I'd just had the thought to grab him with Marty for the Rock and Roll Rocker Express.

Thats not bad at all man. I always had planned for Gibson to be used with another of the other partners. Glad I didnt wait any longer.

Wow. Thats a name I'd wager 2/3 of this crowd didnt know at all beforehand.

Yeah, I misnumbered my pick and threw things off.

Hodgey's Gran Metalik pick was 581.

Numbering is fixed. RJ is up.

Gimme an O! (O!)

Gimme a -VERNIGHT STATS! (VERNIGHT STATS!)

Since 414:

Debuts:
1. Jimmy Smith (425)
2. Ricky Starks (441)
3. (Love That) Danhausen (476)
4. Rachael Ellering (499) (surprised me, but only looking at regulation drafts)
5. Giant Silva (500) (Matte already expressed surprise at this, but it’s true!)
6. Paige Van Zant (511)
7. Mads Krugger (521)
8. Dominic DeNucci (523) (This surprised me - Matte, do you have any record of him?)
9. Cora Jade (525) (Looking forward to see her keep up going up the charts in the future)
10. Masahiko Kimura (528) (What a blast from the past!)
11. Cletus Gambino (537) (Future #1 pick IMO)
12. Nyla Rose (556)
13. Jamie Hayter (561)
14. Bobby Steveson / Damon Kemp (562)
15. “Crusher” Ron Wright (572) (another blast!)
16. Dante Martin (580) (took him in the swap draft, but new to the big show)

New Highs:
1. Powerhouse Will Hobbs (517 last year -> 444)
2. Giant Gonzales/El Gigante (507 in Pun’s 2009 -> 453)
3. Greg DeMarco (516 in Pun’s 2009 -> 485) (Greg has been picked at least four times in regulation, five if you count the first draft’s “non wrestler rounds”)
4. Thunderbolt Patterson (572 last year -> 538)
5. Grizzly Redwood (580 in Pun’s 12 -> 568)

New Lows:
1. Joey Styles (367 in Pun’s 2018 -> 435) (unpicked in WarGames for obvious reasons; dropped here due to no-announcer-needed rule, presumably)
2. Low Ki (302 last year -> 450) (329 in WarGames) (No clue how he fell so far!)
3. Shawn Hernandez (355 last year -> 469) (unpicked in WarGames) (barely in sight, barely in mind? Plus Homicide being taken earlier and used elsewhere)
4. Doug Williams (306 in Pun’s 2019 -> 502) (unpicked in WarGames) (I find this fall a little inexplicable)
5. Charlie Haas (457 in Pun’s 2017 -> 519) (Not too shocking when Shelton gets used elsewhere, but undervalued independently)
6. D’Angelo Dinero / Elijah Burke (490 in Pun’s 2018 -> 524) (unpicked in WarGames)

NB: As I noted, Chris Hero just missed his floor of 553 in Pun’s 2020, being picked at 552.

NB2: Not sure if anyone else is in this bucket, but Vince McMahon feels like an “honorary low” at 416 – in drafts where he was eligible, he has always gone 356 or higher, /except/ in the draft that ended at 211, where he wasn’t picked in regulation.

Any more guaranteed lows?
No, and none possible! Everyone who has been picked every year has been picked.

Fun fact: There are /four/ wrestlers who have been picked in the Top 15 once (and each only once) who have yet to be picked. Two are novelty/joke picks; one is a celebrity; and one is an honest to goodness talented wrestler who just CRUSHED the buzz he had at the time.

DeNucci has never been picked according to my info, but I do have Kimura being drafted at 494 in the very first OO draft.

[rjmap]

With my pick I’m going to choose the Tennessee Stud Ron Fuller

[Leo]

583. Darren Young

For Solly via FB.

[Road Warrior Shark]

I wasn't going to take him this time, I Swear.

I don't even have a plan for him to do anything.

But C'mon, it's the last few rounds and he's still out there? I feel like I have to make this pick at this point. Get a guy in the 35th round that could believably slide into Anyone's Main Event picture and not be out of place? I just Have to do it.













584. The Yellow Rose of Texas David Von Erich

Sharky, no joke, I walked over to this computer to see if I was up yet so I could pick him (or NAMEDROP, who I would have paired him with).

Edit: Oh, I am up! Let's go with a different brotherly pair.

586. Rosey / Matthew Anoaʻi

[Eric O'Mac]

587.Aerostar

[cletusegw]

I can't stand thus guy, but lookin at my roster, there are a few different things I can do with him.......

589. Nick Gage
