==History==
Event 	Date 	Notes
2004 PWA Draft	2004 	Due to lack of records from the Golden Age, there are no accurate details regarding this event. The only confirmed draft pick was the 8th pick in the draft, where Schizophrenia selected NPD. Other clues involve the competitors that competed at Pyromania 1.1 and whoever held championships at the time.
2006 PWA Draft	November 29, 2006	With the first overall pick, Schizophrenia selected fan favorite Television Champion, Al. Pyromania drafted cYnical with the second overall pick, but shockingly traded their most recognized superstar to Schizophrenia for draft picks. cYnical saw the move as betrayal and helped fuel his displeasure with PWA management (he eventually formed The Uprising as a result). With the third pick, Pyromania selected the appointed International Heavyweight Champion, D. Hammond Samuels.
2008 LPW Draft	October 15, 2008 	The Draft saw 2008 Martinez Cup winner and LPW International Heavyweight Champion, Drew Michaels, being drafted with the first overall pick to Insanity by new general manager Little Red. cYnical, the LPW World Heavyweight Champion, was drafted with the second pick by LPW's phantom Chief Executive Officer and Inferno general manager, known only as The Boss. At the conclusion of the telecast, Little Red and The Boss announced an agreement to trade Michaels and cYnical to their original brands.
2010 LPW Draft	November 16, 2010	The Draft saw Jude Maxwell being drafted with the first overall pick to Insanity by an unknown new general manager, who was being represented by Son of Repoman and had connections with a bird. Ultramarcus, the LPW Western States Heritage Championship, was drafted with the second pick by Pyromania general manager, Drew Michaels. After trying to avoid it for the show, Michaels had no choice but to choose Tromboner Man as the 44th and final pick.
