Fightful.com Podcast Mock Draft Results: Supplemental Picks, Who Went First? Russo vs. SRS
WWE’s brand split goes down next week, and Fightful.com decided to have a little fun with it. Sean Ross Sapp and Vince Russo participated in a mock draft on this week’s show, but it doesn’t end there. We also held a random supplemental draft, and the two commissioners discussed trades. Now, both Sean Ross Sapp and Russo will write columns this weekend explaining their picks and putting together each brand’s WrestleMania. The best will be voted on by you, the readers. You can see the full Podcast of the two above.
Below are a short list of rules:
– Given Triple H’s role, he can’t be selected. With Ryback and Undertaker’s future uncertain, they can’t be either.
Only officially contracted WWE talent can be picked (not Bobby Roode or Eric Young)
– Factors include drawing power, the length of the shows, upside of the talents, creating a unique program, working towards the future and the show lengths.
– Try to weaken your opposition in the spirit of competition.
– Tag teams can be selected collectively or split.
-25 selections are made, followed by a random supplemental draft. Trades are available (but haven’t been made yet)
