Nowadays, everyone has an opinion on the current Wrestling landscape, for better, or, more often, for worse. And there’s a common Twitter/social media response when someone gets on a rant complaining about the current product:
“Right, as if YOU could do any better…”
Well, we gave a few people a chance. Obviously, we don’t have to book 11 hours of television every week, but we wanted to give some people the chance to draft their own roster. As we found, if you tell eight people they have access to every active wrestler on the planet, and are a bit liberal with the definition of the words “active” and “wrestler”, what you get are some extremely interesting rosters!
Here are the rules we went with:
- Current talent only. Male and female talent were included.
- 40 rounds. 320 picks in total.
- Part-time talent could be drafted, but only in a part-time role. No using The Undertaker 300 days a year.
- Snake-draft rules apply
- No roster positions requirements. Owners are left to decide how to construct their roster.
- Tag Teams may be drafted together, stables may not.
Your participants, presented in draft order:
– Jay Alletto (@JayAlletto)- Founder of PWPNation.com

Each round/page, I’ll give you a bit of my own insight/analysis on everyone’s picks, and everyone’s final roster is listed at the end of the slideshow. Meanwhile, stay tuned to my and our social media accounts for more insight on how and why we drafted the way we did!
Without further ado, here we go!
