I can’t imagine that anyone is questioning the decision at #1 here – AJ Styles is worthy of a #1 overall pick in just about any discussion. All in all, not a ton of surprise in the first round, with some of the greatest talent in the world being picked in the top eight picks. Perhaps the biggest surprise came at the end of the round, while Matt Hardy’s certainly done some amazing work over the past 12 months, at his age, it’s questionable whether he’s a top-ten performer in the world.
Best Pick (according to Tim): I felt pretty sure Styles wasn’t falling to me at #3, but there was a bit of disappointment when Omega went right before my pick. That being said, Balor might have ultimately been the biggest “steal” of the round at fifth overall.
Worst Pick (again, according to Tim): I’d have to go with Hardy here, as with his age and his publicized desire to not work a full-time schedule, it’s tough to sell him as a cornerstone of a promotion. However, I have to acknowledge Chris getting two picks here, and had he reversed the two names, it’s likely nobody would have questioned him.
