Casey stated early on that her goal was to create as balanced of a roster as possible, and it’s clear when we see her grab two competitors from completely different ends of the spectrum that she’s still working towards that end. First, she stakes her claim for the Authors of Pain with Akam, and then selects former Cruiserweight Champion Rich Swann. Four more female competitors are selected, with Sexy Star falling much farther than she should have, given the names who have gone before her. I couldn’t risk missing out on completing The Young Bucks any longer, while John pulls off perhaps the most peculiar pick to this point of the draft, selecting Shane McMahon within the top 100.
Best Pick (according to Tim): Not trying to toot my own horn, but I again was truly amazed that EC3 had fallen this far. I know that TNA tends to give a negative connotation to all members of its roster, but Carter has been a rare diamond in the rough for that company, and in my opinion, never should have fallen this far. I could even make the argument that he deserved to be drafted ahead of Lashley.
Worst Pick (according to Tim): Taeler Hendrix. The ridiculous run on female talent continues. Hendrix serves a purpose, but these picks continue to validate my decision to avoid a women’s division entirely.
