GOT Wrestle Fest Fan Thread

If you were starting your own company and you could pick any 9 from wrestlers from WWE plus one additional one from anywhere else in the world, who would your 10 draft picks be?

I'd go with the following

1 - Seth Rollins

2 - Dean Ambrose

3 - Finn Balor

4 - Roman Reigns

5 - Kevin Owens

6 - Sami Zayn

7 - Kazuchida Okada

8 - Charlotte

9 - Sasha Banks

10 - Baron Corbin

I've left out Cena, AJ Styles, Joe and SHINSUKE because they are all starting to get beat up after years of wrestling and I'm not sure how much longer they can keep going for, even though I personally think all of them are awesome

Okada is the best wrestler in the world not attached to WWE who still has years left in the tank and could easily adapt to modern "WWE Style", Charlotte and Sasha would be the cornerstones of the women's division and Corbin would be drafted with the optimistic hope that he was "one for the future"

1 - Kelly Kelly
2 - Alexa Bliss
3 - Sasha Banks
4 - Stacey Keibler
5 - Carmella
6 - Kurt Angle
7 - Liv Morgan
8 - Melina
9 - Ember Moon (There's just something about her ALRIGHT?!!?)
10 - Becky Lynch

WWE miss a trick by not having a title change hands at a house show every few years, like Bob Backlund vs. Diesel. It would add the "you never know" factor and make people more incentivised to go.

WCW killed that with their nonsensical world title changes. They did it one night to make up for somebody who was advised not arriving and they were shocked (because they were idiots) with how big the reaction was. Rather then leaving it as a special moment they went and changed the title back and fourth on every house show for a good mouth or more. The result was the title felt worthless. The only way WWE could do house show title changes would be if they brought back the Hardcore championship, as nobody really cares about that anyway.

Yeah that was the TV Title feud between Booker T and Chris Benoit

They never mentioned the title changes on TV either, and they weren't technically official, which killed the towns the changes happened in as it essentially said that those downs didn't count

I remember Benoit fans at the time were livid as he'd never won a singles title in WCW before and suddenly he had 2-3 TV Title wins that WCW essentially erased from history

Yes I remember it quite clearly now. I was a big Benoit fan myself at the time and a big WCW fan so I was well pissed over that. The whole point of ANY title change is that it's supposed to be a big deal. I could never get my head around the TV championship anyway, always seemed such a pointless title.

I liked the TV Title as it had the strict 10-15 minute time limit, which made it good for TV shows (Hence the name I suppose)

It was great when WCW had the World, US, TV and Cruiserweight Titles

All 4 belts were different from one another and served different purposes. The US Title was the belt you gave to the man who was essentially next in line for World Title contendership like Goldberg, Scott Steiner and Curt Hennig, the TV Title was the "workers" belt for people who had good matches like Regal, Benoit, Ultimo Dragon, Finlay and Booker, while the Cruiserweight Title was for high flying and exciting wrestlers like Mysterio, Juvi and Kidman

Each belt had it's own "personality" in a weird way and it's own reason for existing
 

Anyone going to the WCPW show in Manchester this Oct? It's being headlined by Kurt Angle Vs Cody Rhodes and is going to have loads of former WWE and TNA talent. Should be a really good show.

I just never much cared for the TV title, all the other titles sure but the TV title felt like a joke to me even as a kid. I think the European Championship WWE had at the time was better and more credible. I think it would work well for them to bring that title back now actually.

The WCW TV Title also looked like the inside of a Crunchie Bar, which earned it points from me

But yeah, I loved the European Title, even when Mideon found it in Shane McMahon's gym bag and just declared himself champion and everyone just went along with it lol
