Bloodust...dibs on the name... it's gonna be awesome.

ECW UWFi USWA M-Pro

I don't know much about Yoshinari Ogawa but everything I am seeing and reading, he looks to be a pretty good hand.

FMW is up!

Giant Baba stands up and walks to the podium to announce the signing of Yoshinari Ogawa

WCW proxies their pick... they select The British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith!

I like that pick up if Konnan for sure. He is a good hand around this time with the right people.

He will probably break his first opponent's leg out of spite...

Exactly. It is all about how you use em that counts. Hansen was a stud in AJPW so he will continue to be that.

I'm just mentioning that all you do is criticize everyone else's moves, but when someone does it back to you, you get all defensive. I love my pick of Austin there and he will be a major player long after Hansen has been retired. I think you either don't remember his run in WCW in the Hollywood Blondes and his singles work there when he was a top 10 worker in the US. Injury and politics (Hogan and friends) derailed Austin there and he won't have that problem in the WWF. As much as I LOVE Hansen, see my name), Hansen is a 8th-12th round pick due to his age. You use the fact that he WAS a legend in Japan as your reasoning for the pick. I'm using the same reasoning in reverse with Austin. He became a major player in the US within 12-18 months after going to Vince. However after thinking about it, I apologize for hurting your feelings. You run your WWF the way you imagine it and I will run All Japan the way I do. Good luck.

So wait, your argument highlights the point I made earlier when I called out that you would pick Austn and you are subsequently pointing out that your going to push him when in reality he was a year away from it. Not to mention the guy that got him over, Bret Hart, you skipped out on... I dare say Stan Hansen, in the twilight of his career (I mean 4-5 years really), has a little more in the tank for the time that this game will be going that Steve Austin at this point in his career as he doesn't have the momentum and the time in ECW to actually hit the "IT" factor that caused him to get over as well as he did. We all know he had it in him the entire time, but in reality it was his short run in ECW that isn't going to happen, and a great series with Bret Hart, than isn't going to happen, that really made him get over... so you have thus killed any sense of realistic feel to the development of someone like him and you haven't even booked a match yet.

Yeah in 5 years... I'll definitely get some use out of him in that time... SMH

I wanted to add on to Matt D's comment about how thin it was but how name values are the most expensive commodity. I still stand firm on my pick for Eddie Guerrero... dude was a workrate monster and I think he would have transitioned well into the All Japan scene and would be a solid foundation for a juniors division even in 1995.

I don't know if we will be around for 5 years but he definitely has some immediate use for the next two. The guy could still go for a 20-minute match and that may be all I need him for...

I know he doesn't have a lot of time left but Hansen still had something in the tank and can be useful with some of the aforementioned plans.

Giant Baba stands up and proceeds to walk to the podium and jump two spots in line, knowing that his pick won't affect RevPro or OVW. He announces the resigning of former Triple Crown champion and perhaps the most famous American to ever wrestle for All Japan... Baba selects Stan Hansen to start the 4th round!

Gorilla and Jesse put over Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart who have been teaming together as of late. They talk about their connection and the connection of Mando and Hector, the Guerreros. We get some very solid tag team action and smooth maneuvering but it is the strength of the Anvil that ends up being the trump card and we see him hit a NASTY powerslam on Mando for the 1….2…3! Bret and Jim work the crowd and Gorilla and Jesse talk about their hopes as a tag team and potential.

Dude was just about to make huge money in the WWF... this is a great deal for you!

I have got some fun plans for the tag league already but there is so much time left in the draft to try and put the pieces together. I think that there is a serious story here with Kawada and Tenryu that even though AJPW isn't storyline focused, I could still tell through the matches...

Are you doing a Junior division or NOT????????????? Yeah I have a junior title with Dan Kroffat. I just have to get the right pieces... AJPW had a junior title so I plan to keep up with that. Cool. Yeah, they had the title but didn't really do anything with it. Bringing in Eddie shows you want to try, which is awesome. Just means I probably will not worry about it, too many people using juniors. The cool thing about Eddy being a cornerstone though is that he can work with a ton of different juniors. He's someone who you could see working well with everyone from Masa Fuchi to Gran Naniwa. And he's an actual junior heavyweight. Unlike Dan Kroffat. I have got some serious plans for Eddie as long as I can get the pieces around him. He could be someone to really build things around and like you said, Eddie > Dan Kroffat You are definitely making a claim for it with those two picks... Vader is a steal

Old guards returning to their stomping grounds...

After a very lengthy negotiation, Giant Baba has signed a contract with a former Triple Crown Champion and perhaps one of his most famous prodigies.... All Japan Pro Wrestling is proud to announce, with the first pick in the 3rd round... Genichiro Tenryu
