The 2006 Full Metal Wrestling (FMW) Draft was a process used by said professional e-federation in December 2006 as a means of splitting the entire FMW roster into two separate entities, Alchemy and Anarchy.
The Alchemy roster was drafted by FMW CEO, Jaro, while the Anarchy roster was selected by Jaro's pet ostrich and FMW Vice President, Zuzu. There were 32 overall draft picks, with 40 e-wrestlers drafted overall between the two brands. In order to keep tag teams together, FMW Draft rules allowed unit selections where partners could be selected together. The following pick would allow a unit selection to counterbalance the rosters.
Background[]
Following Full Metal 2.1, Full Metal Wrestling (FMW) announced it would enact a brand extension due to the rapid success of the promotion. The federation would split into two brands, Alchemy and Anarchy. In addition, FMW created a developmental territory called New Era Wrestling (NEW) for its superstars of tomorrow.
During an intense game of Risk, CEO Jaro selected Alchemy's superstars, while the Anarchy roster was selected by Vice President and Jaro's pet ostrich, Zuzu. Wanting to be a pure wrestling brand that showcased matches full of explosive action, Alchemy selected reigning FMW C-4 Division Champion, Dr. David Diabolical, as the first overall draft pick. Alchemy would also select fan favorites such as Alex O'Rion, Andrew O'Rion, RAMPAGE!, and the SoCal Connection.
Reigning Full Metal Champion, Ethan Black, was selected as the first overall draft pick for Anarchy, and announced he could tranfer between shows as reigning world champion. During the draft, all members of the Black Covenant were curiously drafted to Anarchy, including War Machine, who brought with him the FMW Ultraviolent Championship, which became Anarchy's signature championship.
After the draft, it was revealed that PWA legend, Phantom Lord (who had been doing analysis for FMW), announced that he had taken Zuzu's stock in FMW and was Anarchy's new general manager. In addition, it was revealed that Phantom had orchestrated with Black to bring his stable to Anarchy, while allowing his adversaries to be drafted by Alchemy.
