15 Bret Hitman HartIt’s scary how many units I’ve missed in this team.
How goood would Macho Man be as a half back!?!
Im no Ricky the Dragon Steamboat fan so would drop him and put Jake the Snake on wing, he'd be slippery as fark!
Hmmmmm maybe Dynamite Kid ?
Dunno where Jake would fit but yeah, he’s a glaring omission. Loved his work.

@mn5 surely Tua goes into the front row, I expect he has probably played rugby too unlike most of them

Yep, see ya Tony Galento. Tua goes straight to prop.
I’d confidently say NONE of the rest have ever played rugby, even the British ones.

I remember Tua saying he used to play hooker in school.
His son plays prop for Grammar TEC. Had a few games for the Blues Dev team a couple of years ago.

NBA
1- Shaquille O’Neal - the big diesel needed on the engine room of the right 5
2- Charles Barkley - round mound of whatever we need
3- Moses Malone - hard working power forward
4- Dwight Howard - most athletic big man I’ve ever seen
5- Wilt Chamberlain - Wilt the Stilt, best lock nickname going round
6- Denis Rodman - defensive machine, hardest working guy in the team, does all the little stuff, has that edge. A YC possibility
7- Julius Irving - the Dr’s long arms and reach will do wonders at the breakdown
8- David Robinson - athletic lineout option and smart
9- John Stockton - looks like a 70s rugby player, best passer
10- Michael Jordan - best player at 1st 5
12- Lebron James - can pass, run, score and happy to do ads for the team
13- Scottie Pippen - defensive stopper
11- Kobe Bryant - flat out scorer and a bit of a hungus
14- Allen Iverson - every team needs a small fast scoring winger
15- Steph Curry - quick and he’s the long range goal kicking specialist
-
@act-crusader Yao Ming, not even a sniff.

Wilt and Dwight are around the 110-120kgs, Yao was 140+, tough on the old lifters, especially when Yao was hardly getting off the ground 😎

Hopefully their wrestling techniques will help those forwards to lift those two gigantic locks.
Big Show's preferred lifter is apparently John Cena.

I know you you went with big name players, but I'd probably pick someone like Shawn Marion at 7.
Maybe Bill Laimbeer at lock ahead of Dwight, although he's a bit of a card risk.

Mandela's highlights on youtube are awesome.
Boris is the least mobile loose forward I've ever seen. Brown is a good pick, he looks like he'd have been a handy dock worker in his youth missing that eye.

I've got the Rock playing 8, and Randy Orton playing 6
Stone Cold Steve Austin was playing 7, but his knees are shot.

He looked unco, unless running into kids counts.

Admittedly most of my guys are from the Golden era of WWE, ie the 80s.
Of more recent ilk I’d have to find a spot for Bautista ( who is also eligible for an action hero XV ), Kevin Nash and Goldberg for sure.
Austin had amazing charisma but I reckon all those others were better in the ring than he was.
John Cena shocks all by lifting Edge, Big Show at the same time at WrestleMania: Watch
