Yeah, gotcha. My next pick? DP18. "Hailing from Cut & Shoot, Texas, Arthur Southern is a serious man, and you would be right to expect that from someone who calls himself “The Human Weapon”. Unlike many athletes with audacious nicknames, Southern might well live up to his if he continues to develop his fighting abilities over the course of the next few years. Already trained in several grappling disciplines and Greco-Roman wrestling, Southern had a short spell in MMA before switching to pro wrestling. Although massively inexperienced, and with only a basic grasp of the industry, Arthur has impressed many with his varied move set and unique skill base. With the popularity of serious wrestling on the rise, Southern may well have debuted at exactly the right time."  |

Really great choice, Knocked! 😎 I had him on my list too. I saw him as a rough and tumble veteran with old school (like 1970's style) grappling experience and a heart of gold and a surly attitude! He'll serve you well! 😄 Fun fact: We're on track to finish Round 2 almost exactly a week after Round 1 started! 👏 Johnny Jett - you are next!

My second choice might be a little bit out of left field, a little off the beaten path, but here it is! The Power Pro Universe is proud to welcome Chuckles the Klown to the Gate City Wrestling roster! The current incarnation of Chuckles the Klown is, of course, the second man to don the facepaint, a tribute to the classic wrestler who originated that role. His place in the Greensboro promotion is expected to be to serve as a menacing, yet sometimes comic foe to GCW developmental talent as they hone their craft en route to a hopeful spot on the WFW main roster. Jim E. Davies, GCW owner and head booker was quoted as saying, "Well, hell, there's so many damned clowns running around playing dress up in wrestling these days, I figured I might as well bring back the original wrestling clown!" |

Glad chcukles got picked up. Believe it or not but he was originally even more of a doink clone.
But I toyed with the moveset and attire to make him a little more original. He does have heel doinks theme, if it'll play after download that is lol

He does have heel doinks theme, if it'll play after download that is lol He was an edit that just popped as soon as I saw him. I've already got my own clown-based edit (Boffo the Hardcore Clown) in a different company, but he's this entirely different gimmick (like, think Kane in a clown mask). Chuckles being closer to heel Doink was perfect and the entire costume and makeup were different while still communicating the theme. I think he'll fit in excellently. |

I just wanted to bump this again since Eskiman hasn't made his choice yet. eskiman - you are still next! You have until 1:30 PM on July 18th (today) to make your 2 draft choices. If you don't make your picks in time, you'll lose your turn until you get to pick again at the end of Round 4. If Eskiman makes his picks at any point before 1:30 PM, then it will be Johnny Jett's turn right after. If Eskiman doesn't make his picks on time, Johnny Jett's turn will start at 1:30 PM. Johnny Jett will then have until 1:30 AM on July 20th to make his selection. |

Alright! In that case, Power Pro Universe is proud to announce its third draft choice: Thairesu! HYBRID Wrestling Championship is excited to see the debut of "Muay Thai Zombie" Han Soong! Soong is expected to make his professional wrestling debut in the near future when HYBRID returns to the High Class Resort and Casino in Atlantic City. Time will tell if the muay thai champion will be able to replicate his success in the professional wrestling ring, but one thing is for certain, the signing has already created waves in the combat sports community. |

Hi, sorry guys - I’ve been so busy with renovations I haven’t really been around my computer or phone all weekend. It’s probably best I duck out from this point forward as I’m barely having time to check my phone with work

eskiman if you want to make two quick picks I don't think most of us would care. and you could still drop out after too. If I’m still allowed then pick two would be Gurf, now known as El Fantasma Pick three would be DP06, now known as Scott Walters Apologies again for missing the time allowance previously, life got hectic |

Wow, a lot happened in the past 12 hours or so!! 😁 Let me address everything in my customary numbered form 🔢 1) Validity of Eskiman's picksVery glad to hear that you are okay Eskiman 😎 Totally understand about how busy you have been with renovations 🔨🔧🔩🐔 I have a solution/compromise that I think is really fair under these circumstances. This is meant to be a fun draft but I do want to be fair to everyone in regards to the time frame rules. Fortunately, we have a unique situation in this edit draft that people don't have in professional sports drafts: Our edits aren't people - they can be used in multiple places. My solution is for Eskiman to get the two picks he want but for me to not take them off the eligible list. Someone else can also choose them in the future during their time frame. Eskiman can still use them but, since he didn't draft them during his allotted time frame, they wouldn't be exclusive to him like the other draft picks are for those choose them on time. Eskiman doesn't walk away empty handed but other people can still draft Gurf's edit and DP 06. I won't even cross the two edits off the main list in the first post but I will note that Eskiman chose them and that they can still be chosen by someone else. *I think this would be a good solution going forward for anyone who misses their time window. eskiman - you are still free to stay in the draft if you want! But if you decide to stay, please PM me a list of any edits that you may still want just in case you aren't able to be there for your next pick.2) Next pick: knocked - you are next! You have until 5 AM on July 20th to make your draft choice. 3) A WILD GOOSE EGG WAS SPOTTED!! 🥚 Thairesu has hatched and will be trained and evolved by Johnny Jett!! 😄 Alright! In that case, Power Pro Universe is proud to announce its third draft choice: Thairesu! HYBRID Wrestling Championship is excited to see the debut of "Muay Thai Zombie" Han Soong! Soong is expected to make his professional wrestling debut in the near future when HYBRID returns to the High Class Resort and Casino in Atlantic City. Time will tell if the muay thai champion will be able to replicate his success in the professional wrestling ring, but one thing is for certain, the signing has already created waves in the combat sports community.
