    Wrestling On Earth Fantasy Draft: The Vote!

    It’s time for you to decide whose promotion you think has the best chance of being successful in the tough business that is professional wrestling in 2013.

    Here’s the scenario that was presented to them:

    “With a financial backer, you will be starting a brand new promotion with a small TV deal (similar to TNA’s), with your goal being to be a profitable company that stays in business as long as possible.

    You will each draft a total of 12 performers (including one female wrestler and one non-wrestler) over the course of 12 rounds (in the spirit of John Cena movies, obviously).”

    The rules were as follows:

    • Only active wrestlers are allowed.
    • Wrestlers from anywhere in the world or any promotion are allowed.
    • You can only pick as many as THREE male WWE wrestlers and THREE male TNA wrestlers. After that, you must pick wrestlers outside of WWE and TNA.
    • Similar to the NFL fantasy having kicker and defense, at least one of the twelve picks MUST be a female wrestler to be the cornerstone(s) of the division and at least one MUST be a non-wrestler (i.e. an announcer/booker/agent/whatever you want). Neither the female wrestler or the non-wrestler will count as one of your three WWE picks or three TNA picks (so you can have three WWE male wrestlers and three TNA male wrestlers, and still choose a female wrestler or non-wrestler from WWE and TNA).
    • Tag teams will count as one pick, but the tag team must be current and you must intend to use them as a tag team (i.e. you couldn’t pick The Shield with the intention of using Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns as singles wrestlers).

    With that in mind, take a look below for a final reminder of each of the fantasy federations with a final statement from each of our draft pickers. Then, at the bottom, you’ll find a poll where you can pick who you think should win! Voting will end at midnight on Thursday, September the 12th.  Continue reading →

    Wrestling On Earth Fantasy Draft: Round Twelve

    Brad’s pick: TYSON KIDD

    tyson-kidd-draft-card

    Brad:

    (Earth note: TJ Wilson IS Tyson Kidd. We promise.)

    TJ Wilson is what I call a diamond that was treated very rough. He is a very solid in ring match technician and has the aerial abilities much like Tanahashi.

    While he has not demonstrated talking or been involved in big angles in pro wrestling, I feel Wilson has the mat skills and is so exciting that it makes up for what he lacks in mic skills. Wilson is a guy who can be molded into something I believe will be great. Continue reading →

    Wrestling On Earth Fantasy Draft: Round Eleven

    Brad’s pick: HIROSHI TANAHASHI

    hiroshi-tanahashi-draft-card

    Brad:

    I went with Hiroshi Tanahashi because while he is young, he has the experience as being in the top position with New Japan Pro Wrestling. He carries himself like a complete star and his charisma is only that I can describe as The Beatles.

    His work ethic and his dedication to the art form of pro wrestling is almost unmatchable. While he can do his share of high flying, he is a very solid worker. He has drawn sold out crowds in some of the largest arenas and is the definition of a global superstar. Continue reading →

    Let the sixth round begin!

    Wrestling On Earth Fantasy Draft: Round Six

    Brad’s pick: SAMOA JOE

    samoa-joe-draft-card

    Brad:

    Samoa Joe is everything I personally would want to be in a pro wrestler. Has been all over the world, from America to England to Japan and back. He is a guy who if booked properly can be a unstoppable monster who the fans can get behind whether heel or babyface. He can work lucha, strong style, catch-can and is a hell of a brawler. He was involved in some of the most popular feuds that the purist wrestling fan was solidly behind. He is also half-responsible for being involved in the highest draw TNA PPV of all time.

    The highest drawing wrestler of all time, Steve Austin, has said Joe is a guy he would love to see in WWE. He can cut one hell of an interview and has really solid delivery. Samoa Joe is a guy I would be confident in booking in a main event, with anyone in my roster on the biggest stage.

    Brad’s pick: SHANE STRICKLAND

    shane-strickland-draft-card

    Brad:

    I first found out about Shane Strickland after getting into CZW in 2012. I was amazed by what an amazing performer he was; in his performances, he showed to me what Shelton Benjamin  did early in his career. I also feel that he has the potential to do some amazing stuff with Bryan and Christian.

    There are promotions who focus most of their product on some of the stuff Strickland do. I feel he that he stands out enough from my current roster and that he will be a great attraction.

    Brad’s pick: SHELTON BENJAMIN

    shelton-draft-card

    Brad:

    Shelton Benjamin has been a guy I have always been a fan of. He has the best elements of a Kofi Kingston and an Eddie Edwards.

    While Shelton may not be the best talker, he makes up for it by pulling off some spectacular moves. He has been in the wrestling business for over 10 years and has worked for WWE, ROH & NJPW. Continue reading →

    Wrestling On Earth Fantasy Draft: Round Three

    Brad’s pick: CHRISTIAN

    christian-draft-card

    Brad:

    Christian is a seasoned pro wrestler who has been involved in the pro wrestling business for over 10 years, during which time he’s been a top guy in both TNA and WWE. Christian has one of the most entertaining styles, that can go well with pretty much anyone he faces – I like to say he could give a broomstick a great match.

    He is a multiple time world champion, has competed with the best in the business and is also a very good talker. In recent years, I feel he has never really been given the opportunity to shine in the long-term and I feel that Christian is the perfect guy to work with Daniel Bryan as top faces of the company.

    Wrestling On Earth Fantasy Draft: Round Two

    Brad’s pick: GEDO (non-wrestler)

    gedo-draft-card

    Brad:

    While not as well kown as Paul Heyman or Vince McMahon, since 2011 Gedo (whose real name is Keiji Takayama) has been involved in the best booking in pro wrestling, making stars out of people such as Kazuchicka Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi & Prince Devitt to name just a few. He understands that the focus of pro wrestling should be about having strong polar opposites on the baby face and heel side.

    In the body of matches he’s put together, it has not just been the top match being great, but every match down the card that is great as well. He has an ability to make you want things for stars, such as Okada winning the belt back and Devitt going for the title. Daniel Bryan and my other picks as the top stars in the company lead well to the booking style of Takayama. Continue reading →

    Wrestling On Earth Fantasy Draft: Introduction and Round One
