If you've been listening along to the podcasts you will know here at Wrestling Should be Fun we have tried to keep wrestling fun with a Fantasy Draft followed by a card announcement. Here some of the competitors give their opinion on the cards drafted by their fellow nerds.
JCH's Card
Shafi
James' card would probably be my sleeper hit if I was to watch it. Bryan vs half his roster would be top 10 for me but I can't pick him against someone I don't know. If that match was a banger then coupled with Ospreay/Ishii and Bucks/Revival you've got maybe the best show. I don't know enough about maybe 25% of his roster to have an informed opinion so something like Almas/Bailey or one of the women's matches could steal the show.

Phone firmly in pocket
Ospreay vs Ishii: Revival/Bucks and my boy American Dragon vs Pete's Dad, Kento Miyahara would both tear the place down but Ishii vs Ospreay just edges them. I didn't believe JCH that this hasn't happened yet. Sort your life out, Gedo.
Piss break
Eagles vs Itoh: I don't know enough about either so feel bad but I've got a small bladder so need to go at some point.
Potential Show Stealer
Almas vs Bailey: This is my favourite wildcard match of the whole draft. This could be electric. Bailey is on the crest of a wave at the moment & Almas is a perfect foil for him.
Could go one way or the other
ZSJ vs Page: ZSJ is my favourite wrestler. Adam Page is the most entertaining he's ever been. However, they don't feel like natural dance partners. I could be wrong though & would like to see it.
Matt
PHONE FIRMLY IN POCKET: THE REVIVAL VS THE YOUNG BUCKS - This match has had me interested ever since it was talked about. If let loose it will tear any house down.
PISS BREAK: MADISON EAGLES VS MAKI ITOH - I don't have a clue who these two are so I'd be checking the beer line at this point.
POTENTIAL SHOW STEALER: DANIEL BRYAN VS KENTO MIYAHARA - Kento has become the myth of the group now but what I've seen suggests he can really go. Bryan could wrestle a mop and it would be one of the strongest matches in the draft so this could be special.
COULD GO EITHER WAY: MAYU IWATANI VS SHAYNA BASZLER - When Baszler finds chemistry with an opponent it's fantastic and if her and Iwatani do that then magic happens.
90's Mike's Card
JCH
Phone Firmly in Pocket
Aleistair Black vs MJF
The combination of MJF’s character work and just being a cocky arrogant prick and Black’s ability to finish a match at any time would mean I’d be paying full attention to this one.
Piss Break
Randy Orton vs Jay Lethal
Pete summed it up best when he said ‘My bladder doesn’t hold enough piss to take the entirety of Lethal vs Orton off’. Those who know me will know I am not a Randy Orton fan. I won’t be disappointed if I never see him wrestle again.
Potential Show Stealer
Mercedes Blaze vs Nina Samuels vs Riho
You have two taller heels with great character work and the ultimate underdog babyface. I think these three would be a cracking combination and it always helps having someone to definitively cheer for. Plus it would involve Mercedes Blaze’s jacket.
Could go one way, could go the other.
Roman Reigns vs Luchasaurus.
I’m intrigued by this one. Answering the age old question. Can Superman beat a dinosaur. The only worry being that it falls into a long stalemate.
Shafi
Mike has got Orton vs Lethal so he automatically wins. KENTA vs Haskins vs Dunne would be really interesting
Brum
Phone firmly in pocket
Kenta vs Dunne vs Haskins: If I was Mike I'd have probably booked just Kenta vs Dunne. However, Haskins is great in multi-man matches & this will still be a banger.
Piss break
Orton vs Lethal: Dull as dishwater as my fictional grandma would say.
Potential Show Stealer
Guevara/Horus vs R3K: This will be a bit of a spotfest but looks like a very very fun one.
Could go one way or the other
Black vs MJF: MJF winding Black up only to get kicked in the face sounds great. However, if this devolved into a wrestling match, I'm not sure how well these two would mesh.
Matt
PHONE FIRMLY IN POCKET: LUCHASAURUS VS ROMAN REIGNS - I love Roman Reigns. I love him facing huge men. This is made for me.
PISS BREAK: MERCEDES BLAZE VS NINA SAMUELS VS RIHO - Like these Women but this 3 way just suffers from feeling really random.
POTENTIAL SHOW STEALER: REY HORUS and SAMMY GUEVARA VS ROPPONGI 3K - I love 3K and I can imagine a bunch of cool flips from their opponents.
COULD GO EITHER WAY: JAY LETHAL VS RANDY ORTON - I am an unashamed Orton fanboy but I do also acknowledge his weaknesses. If he gets invested then this could be fire. If not the intenet will savage it.
