Analysis: Man, after a bit of a rocky start, this whole section of the draft really highlights how much talent there is in the industry right now. Lots of big names here,a couple of which I would have drafted at #62 if they’d lasted (Dunne, Andrade), and anyone who watched AEW’s Double Or Nothing, or is an MLW fan knows why Maxwell Jacob Friedman can at least be considered this high, even if it’s probably a bit high.
My Pick: Shinsuke Nakamura. The day he walks into my promotion, we’re just going to ask the crowd to politely forget about everything WWE has done to Nakamura, and we’ll get him back to kicking ass like he should be. Honestly, after losing two names that were on my list, I’m thrilled Nakamura was still available.
Best Value: Probably Samoa Joe. Eron could headline shows for months with Samoa Joe vs. WALTER.
Worst Value: MJF, but as I mentioned before, it’s not a knock on MJF. It’s just that he’d likely have been available rounds later.
