1992 Rookie Draft Thread

[rainmakerrtv]

Hope I am not stepping on any toes with this, but I figure it is never too early to start thinking about the next rookie draft, and this is a big one. It's a pretty top heavy draft, with 4 future world champions and several other future future legends. This is a starting point, and if anyone significant is missed, let me know and they can be added.

Looks good to me at first glance. The only thing I would add is that 1994 would probably be more appropriate for Matt Hardy, since that was when he was actually wrestling for other promotions besides his own backyard thing he was doing with his brother.

Wrestler Eligibility:  Wrestlers must wrestle a minimum of 10 matches in a year in either the United States or Canada according to wrestlingdata.com. or cagematch.com.  Wrestlers who do not meet that requirement in the year we are currently in or any future year will be considered retired.  Rookies will be eligible in the year they debut. 

It depends on how people want to interpret this. Rey did wrestle in a US show in 1992 according to Cagematch, so technically, he meets the criteria set by the last sentence. But he didn't wrestle 10 shows in the US until 1993/1994, as he was largely doing AAA shows in Mexico in 1992, and they didn't start expanding to the US until 1993/1994.

The WWF would like to make their 1st-round pick available for trade if anyone wants to shoot an offer.

Just my 2 cents on Rey Mysterio. I have seen similar arguments about other guys getting added before their time, but at least in 1992, we do have a reference to him working more than the required matches. I know the rules say Canada/America only, but maybe we should revisit some of these rules, cause would it be out of the question for a promotion like an AWA, PCW, WCW, or WWF to bring in a talent from Mexico? I think we should add him to the game as a rookie in 1992. I don't think it hurts anything, but I am just one dude, and Rey isn't even a blip on my radar for another 5 to 10 years, and who knows if this game will even be around by then. I do think we just add him now, but it doesn't affect me either way, though, at the end of the day. 

I just wanted to at least give my opinion.

I was just joking everybody I’m totally OK with him not being available lol
