El Gallinero Gros

First of all, I hate El Gallinero Gros. Now and forever.

Second, I will update this OP with the wrestler selections at the end of each round. I'll update the picks thread live.


Wait until you see my last pick and the groaning that results from it and the team name.

Thought I'd post a few team ideas I thought of until settling on my picks:

The AJ Community: AJ Styles, AJ Lee, Pacman Adam Jones

Stand To Bet You A Mountain: Scott Norton, Kenta Kobashi, Ric Flair

Fee Fi Fo Dumb: Andre the Giant, The Big Show, Evad Sullivan

Loose Cannons: Shinsuke Nakamura, Randy Savage, Brian Pillman

Snowblind: Stan Hansen, Glacier, Jake Roberts

Oh, I have a bunch of final picks lined up. I was just kinda hoping to get Aja Kong for my powerhouse of the team.

No one I want has been taken so far, so I'm probably going to have to decide whether to stick to my original plan or to go with the two other Okada based trios I've thought of.

EDIT: gently caress it, can't pass Flair up, screw my original plan.

Can't really blame you there Thauros. Of course, my theory is that our wrestlers are a bizarre amalgamation of everything they've ever been, what with Bikertaker and the Deadman being the same, so you get flair prime and flair post-retirement rolled into one. Enjoy!

Once all is said and done, I'd be genuinely curious to hear everyone else's original plans, if they were screwed with at any point. Mine, of course, are no exemption, since mine's gone through a couple changes.

Yeah, figured he was going with Invader and Snuka, didn't see that one coming at all.

I also thought Atticus was going to reunite HBK with one of his old tag partners and hope he wouldn't no show again for a sec until I got it.

That's twice you've sent me into a laughing fit at work today.

I am so proud of my team name, and that it came together for me. Original thought started with Yuji Nagata, doing a bWo 2.0 with Nova and Blue Meanie for backup. Then I thought of that name, and swapped Nova for Amazing Red. Then I decided on a Redneck instead, which led to Steve Austin. And who better to represent the red, white and blue than Kurt Angle?

Hogan was a possible alternate in case Angle got taken.

I was thinking of putting together a rad all-lady team (Probably like Aja, Bull Nakano and SDR) but then I realized MENG, so I had to go MENG. Thought about getting Regal as my third for an all Islanders team, but a confidant suggested Yokozuna, and hey, he kinda ties my first two picks together, so why not. Plus, it's like Team Pacific Rim.
