By the fourteenth and fifteenth rounds, people’s viewing preferences tend to begin to show. While many in the draft liked to joke Eron for his propensity to draft New Japan talent, Chris also showed an affinity to a specific company, as Brian Cage was only the first of a steady stream of Lucha Underground talent to make it to his squad. Eron picked up Roppongi Vice, while I snagged one half of The Uso’s, making them the fifth tag team I’d invested in. We also see some strong names from the independent circuit chosen here, with both David Starr and Sami Callihan going in this section.
Best Pick (according to Tim): While the uneven nature of WWE’s cruiserweight division may have some people forgetting what Cedric Alexander did in the CWC, he certainly should have been selected before the fifteenth round.
Worst Pick (according to Tim): I’m not a huge Eli Drake fan, but at this point in the draft, I can see him as a worthwhile value pick. The least valuable pick has to be Kurt Angle due to his health concerns, but John has proven to this point he’s not worried about week-to-week availability.
