With its Fifth Round pick from MLW's RAW brand, the EAWA selects:
Playboy Buddy Rose
TV announcer's comment: Former Cruiserweight Champion Playboy Buddy Rose represents yet another AWA original drafted into the EAWA. Will the move to another brand help Rose's quest to regain the Cruiserweight Championship which, because of its weight stipulation, is the only title defended on all of the main brands of Major League Wrestling (MLW)?
THE EAWA now has about 10 minutes before it must make its Fifht Round selection from Major League Wrestling's Smackdown brand.

With its Fifth Round pick from MLW's Smackdown brand, the EAWA selects:
The Sandman
TV announcer's comment: In a widely expected move, the Sandman becomes the first extremist/hardcore stule wrestler drafted to the EAWA who didn't previously wrestle in the old AWA.
With the completion of another round, RAW and Smackdown both get to protect additional wrestlers on their rosters as the EAWA gets set to make its first 6th Round selection from the RAW brand within the next 10 minutes.

With its Sixth Round pick from MLW's RAW brand, the EAWA selects:
Justin Credible
TV announcer's comment: Following the EAWA's draft selection of the Sandman in the previous round, Credible becomes the second extremist/hardcore style wrestler drafted to the EAWA who didn't previously wrestle in the old AWA. Will Credible and the Sandman reform their tag team the Barroom Heroes in the EAWA?
The announcers also mention that this should be a great move for Credible because not only does he get a chance to move to a brand that emphasizes his hardcore style of wrestling he also gets a better chance to make an impact as most weeks since being drafted to RAW last summer RAW he hasn't even made TV despite getting a (ultimately unsuccessful) title shot against Intercontinental Champion Jim Londos in a Singapore cane match on one episode of Thursday Night RAW.

With its Sixth Round pick from MLW's Smackdown brand, the EAWA selects:
Bob Orton Sr.
TV announcer's comment: Although he lost his bullwhip match to Buff Bagwell last weekend at No Mercy, many wrestling analysts predicted this past week that Orton Sr. could do well in a hardcore brand like the EAWA.
AS RAW and Smackdown for the last time get to make some more final roster protections, the EAWA is getting set to announce its 2nd and final callup from Minor League Wrestling!

With its Seventh Round and final draft pick from the RAW brand, the EAWA selects:
Johnny Valiant
TV announcer's comment: Although Johnny Valiant is an AWA original, this draft selection is a surprise- especially since Johnny V hasn't spent much time wrestling the oast few months because he instead has been focusing on managing the tag team of Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake who now find themselve without a manager.
Next, the EAWA will make its final selection from the Smackdown brand's roster in today's MLW Expansion Draft!

With its Seventh Round and final draft pick from the Smackdown brand and also with its final draft selection period, the EAWA selects:
