The 40th UFWL draft pick: Hulk Hogan

The 40th UFWL draft pick and final member of our inaugural World Title division is none other than Hulk Hogan. We went round and round on this one, since Hogan has been a part of every major wrestling promotion that we can think of, but in the end his icon status made him a must have for our fantasy promotion.

We want the Hogan of the 1980's. While we firmly believe that reality based wrestling has a place, we also strongly feel that pro wrestling can be over the top and no one was more over the top than the 80's version of the Hulkster.

We want to book Hogan into a long program with Ric Flair since we feel both the WWE and WCW failed to take clear advantage of the match up most of us old school fans waited an entire decade for. Sure they had some matched but never a really long, intense feud and that is ultimately why we drafted not only Hogan but Flair as well.

The 33rd UFWL Draft Pick: Scott Hall

The 33rd UFWL draft pick is none other than Scott Hall. The Board of Governors wants to clear up something now, our former Head of Talent Relations was all set to make the UFWL a gang war zone, and we will not be reuniting the nWo. Even though many former nWo members will be on our roster.

We liked Hall more in his old Razor Ramon gimmick back at in the old WWF. He can have a great match with anyone and his Ladder Match with Shawn Michaels made him a star and may still be one of the best matches ever.

Scott's personal problems never allowed him to rise above mid car status, but he did have an excellent run in the WCW as a tag team guy. We want to return him to being a singles wrestler and plan to place him in the North American division.

The 25th UFWL Draft Pick: Kevin Nash

Ted Dibase, the UFWL commish, has decided that the drafting of Andre the Giant was not a respectable act and he is replacing Andre on the roster with one Kevin Nash. We are not talking about the broken down NWO failure of a booker WCW Kevin Nash, but the Kevin Nash for his glory days as Diesel and the second part of the outsiders.

We are drafting Kevin Nash from his prime, not the broken down, injury prone guy who came back to the WWE with the lamest version of the NWO to date in 2002. We expect Kevin to be a force in our Super Heavyweight division. He will not be involved in the booking, and in fact he is not even allowed in or near our offices.

It is not that we dislike Kevin, but we need to keep his ego in check and insure that he gains no political power within our promotion. I mean this is the guy who ran WCW out of business, that might not be fair but he was the worst booker ever.

In fact we could argue that most of his career was about gaining political power, even way back to his days as Diesel. He was a member of the Clique, and we will not have that kind of maneuvering behind the scenes here.

13th UFWL Draft Pick: DDP Diamond Dallas Page

Self High Five, the 13th UFWL fantasy draft pick is none other than DDP, Diamond Dallas Page. To be clear I am not talking about the creepy stalker DDP that had a disastrous run in the WWE, but the DDP who was the one guy to stand up to the NWO, and kick ass all over the old WCW.

Even though DDP would win the WCW World Championship on three separate occasions, I don' think he ever made it to main event status. Sure he is a great talent, and his pretty good on the mike, but in the UFWL we will sue DDP as a heel in our TV Title division.

We need guys to help carry our TV shows, House shows, and give us great matches on the under card of our PPV's. Page is all of that in one package, and we made him a high draft pick because of it.

11th UFWL Draft Pick: Macho Man Randy Savage

Oh YEAH!!!!!! The 11th UFWL draft pick is none other than Macho Man Randy Savage. We shall bring Macho Man to the UFWL to headline our TV Title division, not because he is not a main eventer, but because we need entertaining guys to help carry our TV shows.

Randy is an excellent in ring talent, and he is pretty good on the Mike. The one issue I have is he tends to go off the deep end doing promos, and the main message tends to get lost a bit. I want to put him in a division where he will get to face wrestlers he hasn't faced a lot in his career.
