In my LOW fed Major League Wrestling (MLW), I have two major brands called RAW and Smackdown and at my Smackdown brand's PPV No Mercy this weekend the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase announced he purchased the rights to the AWA from Verne Gagne for $400 million and he is going to turn the new AWA into an extreme rules fed called the EAWA (Extreme AWA) with no DQs and no countouts. And on the EAWA, DiBiase will be both the general manager and a wrestler which should make for some interesting storylines as he seeks the EAWA Championship for himself.
To populate his new brand the EAWA, DiBiase gets 7 draft picks from MLW's RAW roster and 7 draft picks from MLW's Smackdown roster. If DiBiase drafts an official tag team such as the New Age Outlaws that counts as one pick and not two picks. And DiBiase is prohibited from drafting any of the current champions from RAW or Smackdown.
On another thread, vrobx made an excellent suggestion about DiBiase possibly using one of his 7 draft picks from Smackdown to draft his former tag team partner Steve "Dr. Death" Williams. Although I think I now know all the 14 draft picks DiBiase is going ot make in next week's MLW Expansion Draft, I am looking for more similar suggestions from you guys because I might change my mind or, if I don't draft them now, they might still get drafted later to the EAWA next June when Major League Wrestling has its regular annual draft between its (now 3) major brands. And there is also the possibility of a trade between different brands before June's draft.
So in your opinion, who would be good draft picks for DiBiase's EAWA brand?
So far the EAWA roster only has DiBiase, Virgil, and Sabu. DiBiase will probably be drafting mostly wrestlers who are either AWA originals or extremists such as the Sandman. I have the current rosters for my RAW and Smackdown brands posted below from which the 14 draft picks (7 from each brand) are coming from and my current champions who are ineligible to get drafted are listed in italics.

Also, the way the MLW Expansion Draft works is that once DiBiase makes a draft pick form one brand, that brand gets to protect 3 more wrestlers from its roster and so until all 7 picks from that roster are made. So expect DiBiase to draft a combination of maybe a couple of main eventers and a bunch of midcard and perhaps 1 or 2 lowercard wrestlers.
