I am filled with endless shame. No draft before has had to restart a round. My incompetence is deep.
As such, the only thing I can do to make up for this is to call a punishment. Onto myself.
As such, I will be adding The Great Khali vs. Hornswoggle to my roster, and locking them. I must use them against each other, and cannot remove them.
Cory may pick.

Actually, no. I'm afraid this shit is too broken, I can't let it continue. Vinny can keep his, as I said it was okay and that's my fault (and he's asleep), but everyone else including me will have to repick.
I apologize for letting this happen.

I blame Vinny.
But more than anything, I blame myself. Fuck.

So, yeah, basically I loopholed myself, so you can technically take any match. Be careful in taking multi-man matches, I'm not in a particularly merciful mood at this time.
Vinny takes The Masters Of A Thousand Holds (Skayde, Johnny Saint & Mike Quackenbush) vs. Team Uppercut (Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli & Dave Taylor).
Nick takes The Shield (Reigns/Rollins) vs. The Usos.
Cory is up.

And with it being Lasie's pick, that means it's time for the next round, our first challenge round!
The terms are simple. You must pick a match. It must've been a match that you can prove has happened. The one that appeals best to me will win a fabulous prize. Edit: Obviously you can't use someone that is already taken however, just to clarify!
though there are always catches to these things, aren't there....

It's always Spiro. Oh well, we're on Jon now since Spiro's fail means he can pick whenever, so let's go ahead to the next round. So, yeah, 2000 was a pretty bad year for All Japan. But as said, thanks to Mutoh things started to look brighter for the company, and it regained a lot of ground lost when Misawa and co. left. Until 2013. In 2013, All Japan was bought out and taken over by a legitimate crazy man ("I'm gonna book us the Rock! ") and because he didn't want to deal with that shit, Mutoh left, taking half the roster with him. You can see where this is going. You must draft a wrestler who left in the 2013 All Japan Exodus.Here is a list of everyone eligible after the previous round: Shuji KondoKaz HayashiRyota Hama Masayuki KonoHiroshi YamatoKoji KanemotoMinoru TanakaYasafumi Nakanoue KAISeiya Sanada Andy Wu Have fun! If you're not into Japanese wrestling (and this round is kind of unfair even to those who do) don't worry, we won't be coming back to it for a good few rounds. Next round will instead be our first challenge round.

Time for a new round. In 2000, the darkest day in the history of All Japan came. Leader Mitsuharu Misawa left the promotion, taking all but two of the wrestlers with him, along with countless behind the scenes staff to start his own promotion, NOAH. Things were dark for years until Keiji Mutoh jumped over fully, and after years of work managed to bring the company back to some kind of it's former glory, until...well, we'll talk about THAT soon enough. For this, however, we'll be looking at the company's highest title, the TRIPLE CROWN. For this, you must draft a post-split Triple Crown Champion.This link will give you all the champions, any champion on or after October 28th, 2000 is eligible. Have fun. Lasie, you're up.

Right then, it's drafting time. For the lazy, we'll go over the rules again.
1. Wrestlers are considered at their prime.
2. The 8 hour window remains, if you don't pick and still haven't by the time it comes back around to you you will be skipped over to keep things moving.
3. Trading is whatever.
4. The coin flip will be very different this time, you'll see what I mean at the start of round 5.
5. The Tag Team Rule returns! For reference, "Under the tag team rule, you can, at any round in the draft, pick a tag team instead of a single wrestler. BOTH members of the tag team must meet the selection requirements for the round. You can only do this once, and you MUST do it once before the end of the draft. The tag team must be a recognised tag team (either a "Named" team, have a demonstrable history of teaming together, or have won a notable Tag Team Title). You will regret your inaction if you wait until Round 15."
6. The new special fun for this game is CHALLENGE ROUNDS! These special rounds can bring you fabulous reward if you do well. On the other side, you can also call a punishment down on yourself or others. This is less fabulous reward and more "thing you don't want on you ever."
COIN FLIP RULES: IF YOU WIN: 1. You can switch anyone on your roster out with anyone on someone else's roster. This pick, however, is not protected. 2. You can pick twice this round, taking two picks instead of one. You do however have to switch out one person already on your roster for the second person. As well, these are not protected. 3. You can lock one wrestler on your roster to yourself. This means that no one can take that person from you should they take option 1 of the flip win.
However, if you lose, the person flipping will be removing one person on your roster for someone who has won the WON award for worst gimmick, locked to that gimmick and timeframe.
That's all for that, really, so let's go on with the draft order as given to me by random.org. I know. I didn't believe it either.
1) Jon 2) Clint 3) Spiro 4) Mike 5) Cory 6) Vinny 7) Nick 8) Lasie
That means it's showtime, so let's get onto it!
The first round is quite simple to start us off.
You must draft a female wrestler
There is a rich history of gifted, excellent woman wrestlers throughout history, so no one should have problem with this one. That said, someone did point out something important to me. People have a tendency to use people for things other than wrestling as a way to get out of using them, and this seems like it'd be an easy round for people to do that with, and that's just a shame. As such, you must use your female wrestler on your card AS a wrestler. Not as a valet, a special guest referee, running concessions, or killed by the Yakuza off-screen.
Have fun! Jon, you're up first!

I would like to extend my deepest thanks to a crossdressing Mondai Ryu. Because clearly that's how I ended the Turks' streak.
