DRAFT PICKS - Batch #10: Jeff Hardy and Edge get top spots, plus Regal, Punk, Morishima, Morrison, Miz, DiBiase

Picks by Simon Alexander of Hull, U.K...

Fans in my opinion need people to love, and people to hate. Good guys vs bad guys. A simple formula but i believe people know where they are then. So on this basis.

1) Jeff Hardy: The guy is the proverbial "Teflon" wrestler in such it doesn't matter how bad you treat him he is still going to be the most over guy anywhere. And think of the merchandise sales on this one.

2) William Regal: Give him the mic and let him be pompous and buffoonish and sadistic and listen to the crowd hate him.

3) Chris Jericho: As with Regal, the guy can pull heat out of a freezer when he's on the mic.

4) C.M. Punk: Young, Talented, Great look. I think you could make him into the next Bret Hart. That would be money.

5) Santino Marella, Brings someting different to the table. Funny, entertaining, and lots of room for expansion.

6) Christian Cage: This guy is a rock, you know you can go to him when you need that sure performance. Great on the mic, great in the ring.

7) Big Show: Awesome whatever. He should be made to be unstopable, so when he is stopped, it is a very special thing indeed.

8) Ted DiBiase Jr.: One for the future. Bad to the bone, and cockier than should be allowed.

9) Rey Mysterio: Personally not a fan,but the kids are. Money is what we are after right?

10) MVP: This guy is going to be huge. I love hating him.

You know ten just isn't enough. Strong mentions to Samoa Joe, Bryan Danielson, Nigel McGuiness, and A.J. Styles.

Picks by PWTorch subscriber David Baker...

(1) Edge: He is the total package right now, preforming at the highest level. He could go heal or face, Edge gets crowd reaction.

(2) Nigel McGuiness: He can talk and work a really believable style. He also has good size without the freakish muscle look (Batista).

(3) Shawn Michaels: I think this current run has been the best of his career, in ring and on the mic.

(4) C.M. Punk: He is over way more than his push dictates. Punk can work and is very unique with his character.

(5) Morishima: He would need a good manager to do his talking, but he has such agility for a big man.

(6) Samoa Joe: He would not be booked as a whinny chump. Joe is a top notch talent, he just needs to be booked properly.

(7) Bryan Danielson: He is the best worker in the country. Put him in the ring with any of the other guys above and you would have great ppv matches.

(8) Chris Jericho: Should probably be higher on the list, but here is were I have him. Jericho would pick up his current role of smarmy heal, which he really has perfected.

(9) Homicide: Say what you want about him, but since size isn't what gets you pushed in my promotion, Homicide is a legit bad ass. He can talk the talk and walk the walk.

(10) KENTA: I have yet to see him have a bad match.

Picks by Boris Milman...

1. Edge - He's the best all-around performer in wrestling and he is still pretty young.

2. John Cena - The biggest star in wrestling. Period. Gets the most enthusiastic crowd reactions. Even the people who hate him pay to see him. He can be your centerpiece draw.

3. Chris Jericho - Phenomenal all-around performer. Finally getting the chance to show his versatility.

4. HBK - The best wrestler of his generation and only getting better as a character.

5. C.M. Punk - He has a natural charisma about him which is very rare. He might eventually be an even better heel than babyface.

6. MVP - He is already really, really good, with the potential to become great.

7. Batista - Has a fantastic presence and he keeps getting better, both on the mic and in the ring.

8. Samoa Joe - Great, great wrestler. Needs some direction as a character.

9. A.J. Styles - If he is promoted as the awesome athlete that he is, he can easily be Jeff Hardy without any of the baggage.

10. John Morrison/Miz - These two have finally found their voice with "The Dirt Sheet." The type of young, cocky heels you always want on your roster.
