Great pick @Big Jean Studd.

just to make sure, we just need to pick rasslers and (if we want them) managers? Or do we need authority figures, commentators, referees, etc?

You may be overthinking this. You only need to draft an authority figure or commentator if you intend to use them on the advertised card. If you would feel a need to advertise a card and put on the ad "With commentary by Jim Ross", you'd have to put Jim Ross on there. If Ross is implied to be on commentary and you don't say it, you don't need to draft him. If you put "The Executioner w/ Paul Bearer vs. Vince McMahon", you'd have to have all three of them drafted. Unless you are using somebody as a guest referee, you don't need to draft one. I wouldn't advertise Tommy Young, but if I used Mick Foley as a guest referee, I would certainly advertise it, thus I would have to draft him. I hope that I things, please let me know if I didn't.

Edit: We don't have to draft bookers, but if I wanted to have Jim Cornette vs. Vince Russo in a tennis racket on a pole match (which would count as one of my three stipulation matches), I would have to have both of them on my roster. If you're not advertising somebody, then they don't have to be drafted.

OK I kinda thought so but wanted to make sure before I draft. Cause clearly the logic would be drafting Earl Hebner with my first round pick lol.

Unless I see reason to believe otherwise, I will assume that every match is officiated by this guy.

That’s me, by the way. Everybody has my permission to use me without advertising it.

Just to make sure we're all aware of this, you can tag the next person in the draft thread. It doesn't have to be in this one.
