I haven't even considered Funk, even though I always plan to book at least one bloody bout. Amazing 1-2 punch by big Hoss.

benefits to having consecutive picks is that you can literally draft a matchup.
I was saying that to Hoss, being in the middle has to be one of the more nerve-wracking things for a draft like this. Also able to stress free draft tag teams without somebody coming in and cucking you.

People that take the other half of a tag team get kicked in the dong

Depends on the Tag... but in most cases anyone taking a second person of a pretty much Tag-only act, when the first part is already gone, would only shoot themselves in the knee with it.

Just be on the safe side and take the Michaels, not the Jannetty... and have a contingency plan for the Michaels just in case.

No doubt, but if your talkin tag teams like Jeff and Matt Hardy or E & C. You def have to take a risk in the middle if your going for that

And yeah I didn’t mean the teams where both are viable singles stars

As a guy that usually doesn't intentionally draft tags just bc I don't like trying to manage getting all 4 people for a matchup, I kinda like when others snipe selfishly bc it just hurts two other teams that aren't me lmaooo

I think edge and Christian are right on the line tho, both were good tag guys but if we're being real all the historical dream matches have them as teams

I dunno... it really depends on what the intention is from the booker (drafter). I think Edge and Christian both hit their absolute peak as single guys and yea, they were and are one of the greatest Tag Teams, but in a draft like this, I personally would put a good amount of other Tags above them, which I'd rather see *just* as a Tag-act and not single performers.

...obviously it's personal preferences

E&C as a team I would say are pretty overrated, if you really compare their marches to the greats. Of course, their gimmick was extremely strong but their body of work doesn't touch teams like The Briscoes, Steiners, Midnight Express, FTR, etc. I'd much sooner book either guy in a singles match.

And such a small amount of their career was as a team together

Holy shit... Kobashi and Misawa gone in a one-two punch. I hoped at least one of them would maybe fly under the radar for another round. Well played, Sirs.
