*If the person retains normally for 20 points they don't get these 5 as well as

A person get's injured, fired, released, quits, dies, flys away to Japan, Bolivia, D's House, it will cost you a trade to ditch them and in all cases, aside from death they will return to the draft list.

No more than 6 Trades all game ($120,000)

DRAFTING PROCESS FOR DEBUTANTS AND THOSE ON THE DRAFT LIST

Everyone has to be bid for and to win that bid, 48 hours has to pass by without anyone outbidding you, minimum bids for all is $20,000.

The most you can bid assuming you haven't used any trades is $120,000.  When you bid for someone you state who you will drop if you win the wrestler, then when the 48 hours have passed the switch happens automatically.

If one person bids all their $120,000 and someone wants to outbid them they have to use points as well (This only happens when the $120,000 is involved). 

If someone bids you cannot bid the same you have to bid an increased amount of at last an extra $1,000 unless they have bid $120,000 in which case you bid that and points to.

Anyone who debuts during the drafting process will just be added to the list, timing's a bitch  :D

Swaps are illegal.

You cannot drop you No.1 or 2 Draft picks, unless, they are injured, fired, suspended, or vanish off tv for 3 weeks or more.

We don't do Beer Drinking Contests, Boxing Matches, Masterlock Challenges, MMA Matches, Diva Dodgeball or any other non wrestling events/contests, we do WRESTLING matches.

You can draft as many new guys as you can afford.

You bid for someone, you can't withdraw the bid.  (Jim lurks and moderates this thread 24/7 to so no deleting post either...)

TNA will be apart of the game from the start, the initial drafting process only.

1. You can only have 1 TNA wrestlers per team (You don't have to pick any)

2.1 After the initial draft no TNA wrestlers can be picked they are only available during the initial draft

2.2 The loophole to this is if someone on the draftable WWE Roster or your team joins TNA during the game they are available and their points on TNA wrestling will count, with 90 day no compete clauses this is unlikely to happen.  If it did, this wrestler could be dropped from your team as well.

3.1 You cannot drop the TNA wrestler at any point throughout the game, no matter what happens to them, you are stuck with them so it is a big risk

3.2 If your TNA star leaves for WWE then their points on WWE TV will count, since they started the game as a TNA star and the rules state you cannot drop them then you are still stuck with them

4. Impact will be scored like RAW/Smackdown/ECW, TNA PPVs scored like WWE PPVs.  TNA has an Internet Xplosion Match on its website each week, this will be scored like Heat was, all internet exclusive matches are scored as such.

"If" by some miracle the game ends in a tie, we'll have a week of overtime, covering RAW/Smackdown/ECW/Superstars/Impact/And if there is one that week even a PPV, and whoever is ahead at the end of the week wins, if it's still a draw we have another week of Sudden Death overtime 'til a week eventually ends with someone ahead.

Start date, RAW, April 6th 2009.

End date, Summerslam, August 23rd 2009.

*Cough*

Tecwen Whittock, nice to see you.




Oh yah, I'm in this game too. Obviously.

With TNA we can fit AtariLegend in but thats about it so I've capped it at 13 participants, anybody new wanting to join now, someone needs to quit from the previous game, although to be honest we kind of peaked on that front, we stopped being moderately cool round about Game VI, we are WCW 2000 cool these days  8) Yeeeeah....Dig It!  8)

And not to cause offense Atari but can you try not to delete yourself halfway through drafting this time  ;)

If for some reason we saw an influx of new people wanting to join and they were breaking down the door trying to get in (I wish) then we'd have to reconsider the option of having four wrestlers to a team.

No more Mr Nice Guy this game.


Game XII Will absolutely be my 4th title. No more bullshit injury prone guys.

U will see a resurgence from TEAM D.

I am in, and All I want to know is: "Who is coming in 2nd"

I'm in.

I'm in.

I wonder if Festus will get that elusive World Title feud this game...

So is this gonna be ONE TNA guy again and u can't drop? Or can we fill our roster with TNA people?

Yes AND dude, read the rules, heck you don't even have to go back a page to check them we are still on page one.

I'm in.  : ok: :smoking:

I'm in.

Rule Change: If you win someone, they are yours.  No 7 days to decide who to drop.  We originally brought that in simply because people were taking forever and there had to be some deadline, 7 days was chosen simply because some people aren't online as often, but not its become more of a tactical tool which people, myself included have changed, well no longer.

To impliment this, when you bid for some, you have to state WHO you will drop if you win them.

Much like the bidding of money, once you have stated this you can't withdraw such a bid and or change it.

Any questions send them to HTGTHWWEGameManagement@aol.com

 8)

Edit: Incidently, if the people who haven't resigned, could decide, one way or the other we could start drafting.

The zero times champ is here!!!!

all of you stop looking at my strudel.







yeah I 'm in.

Good to see you back dude.  : ok:

Ok just getting this straight.

Say i bid 50K on Goldberg and i say i'll drop Kelly Kelly for him and then D bids outbids me. I think about it for the 47 hours and in the mean time Kelly Kelly becomes womens champion, as its a fresh bid could i change who i swap Goldberg for or do i have to stick with who i said upon my first bid?

Do you understand what i'm saying?

Fresh bid is a fresh bid, no connection to the previous one so yeah, everytime you bid you have to state who you will drop, so here is a scenario.

D: $20,000 for Goldberg and if I win I drop Zach Ryder.

Gnrfan: $25,000 for Goldberg and if I win I drop John Cena.

D: $30,000 for Goldberg and if I win I drop Curt Hawkins

You can't though....

D: $20,000 for Goldberg and if I win I drop Zach Ryder

2 hours later edit: I mean if I win I drop Curt Hawkins

^Tsk, D's being accused of cheating before the game's even begun. :no:

:P

HAHAHAHA


I want the TAG GAME back

Blowup and I have some unfinished business with you guys

im in

You know Damn well Cowbell is in and I cant wait for my first round draft choice to get injured the first week.  Whoever I pick is going to get injured fast.

You.  :hihi:






Says the one time Intercontinental Champ and Proud winner of a wooden spoon.  8) :smoking:

... Go on.

Well after PM'ing a seemingly endless amount of people, Annie was nice enough to respond with the order:

11, 2,4,9,13,1,7,6,5,3,10,8,12

Which means the drafting order is:

Malcolm, BlowUpYourVideo, D, Mr Cowbell, sweet616, AtariLegend, slash666, Gnrfan, Evolution, Hammy, Timothy, Jim, High_times.

I whacked sweet616 in because I assume he'll be back, if he changes his mind then we'll just drop him.

Well with its usual 24 hours time limit, DRAFTING STARTS NOW!  8)

Some Big Players have got good positions in the draft. D can't ask for a better position and i'm sure Hammy and Evo will like their chances. Malcolm has first pick and it'll be interesting to see who he goes for. I always think if you get 1st pick and you're first pick doesn't work out then its not a great position to be in.

As for me i have never been in this sort of position so it will be interesting to see how it goes especially not knowing a thing about TNA

Randy Orton

'

I don't know I personally like drafting from the bottom of the order as I feel you get the chance to get two better overal wrestlers then drafting towards the top but with TNA thrown in I think everyone will be getting 2 top stars on their team, now I just need to stay away from Bastita, Cena or anyone who might get hurt.

Please don't get injured, please don't get injured....

Edge

Tough Tough Choice............


HHH or Cena  HHH or Cena...........................................


I think the entire time Orton has been back has been building to this moment and I do think Edge will retain at WM...........


SHIT


U can't ever go wrong though with the workhorse of WWE


John Cena

I may be wrong, but didn't he get his first game, because I deleted my account?  All those years ago...

Yeah after you had asked could you trade D.  :hihi:

In truly hilarious ways, they got along worse than any team ever, good times  8)

I'd just like to point out, at the end of that game "Undertaker" won the Title at Wrestlemania against "Batista"...  :)

Shit, I forgot all about that.


Now I have someone else to humiliate this game.

Edge is currently battling several nagging injuries, reports ProWrestling.net. He?s had problems with knee issues in the past and they may have flared up again. The severity of his current ailments are unknown. Edge has been working some house shows recently so whatever injuries he is battling aren?t bad enough to keep him on the road. That being said, he?s only been working tag matches at those house shows in order to keep his work load in the ring light.

And so it begins....

Couldn't you of picked a wrestler I didn't like and curse them instead.  :P

I had been considering HBK, Billy Gunn and Repo Man too. I hear they were forming a stable soon....


And hopefully Edge can last through to Summerslam. After that I don't care. I mean, for his own well-being I hope he's fine but for my chances in this game I need him healthy 'til August dammit.

Time's up, its sweet616 your move!

Poor Cowbell

first its injured guys now he misses his pick

the gayme HHH

"The Undertaker"  :P

He's listed to be feuding at house shows with Edge in May, I hope it isn't cover for retiral at the end of this month.

I'll go with Jericho.


Erm Hammeister, whys Jeff Hardy on Raw? Your connections with Vince about the draft never cease to amaze me.

Simple mistake giving away the information early, like giving away your and Timothy's pending ECW debuts.  Word is thats getting nixed, with this recession on and the amount of money they are paying Cliff Compton, something or should I say someone has got to give.  :P

Compton's gimmick involves all his matches being "*Insert inanimate object* on a Pole" matches.

And back to this game, I wonder who is going to pick a TNAer first, or is everyone waiting for the PPV this weekend to air first?  :P

TNA have a PPV this weekend??

Yer, I'm still clueless about the company. But I have a good feeling 'bout this game... ;)

The following matches have been scheduled for the TNA Destination X PPV:

- Angelina Love, Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne vs. Roxxi, Taylor Wilde and "The Governor"
- Scott Steiner vs. Samoa Joe
- 10,000 Thumbtacks Match: Matt Morgan vs. Abyss
- TNA Legends Title Match: Booker T ? vs. AJ Styles
- TNA Knockouts Title Match: Awesome Kong ? vs. Sojourner Bolt
- TNA Tag Team Title Off The Wagon Challenge Match: Beer Money ? vs. Team 3D
- TNA X-Division Title Ultimate X Match: Alex Shelley ? vs. Chris Sabin vs. Suicide vs. Black Machismo vs. Consequences Creed
- TNA World Title Match: Sting ? vs. Kurt Angle - With Jeff Jarrett as Special Referee and Mick Foley as Special Enforcer

See, I'm helping you (nice guy that I am), now all you need to do is turn heel on Evolution then we are even  8)

As a former Tag Team partner of myself and D you have Dynastarian blood in ya!  :yes:

You can help me... by re-assuring me, that Taker won't be retiring in a few weeks..   :P

SPOILERS!?!?! Shhh thats meant to be hush hush  ;)

He won't, can't say the same for every Texan in the game though...

hmmm! This a Tough One.

Once HHH,Edge,Cena & Orton were gone it makes it hard.

I'll continue with Christian and hope we wins MITB

Ha!

Vince McMahon isn't a big fan of ECW wrestler Christian, according to one former WWE employee. It's no secret that the WWE chairman doesn't view him as a "star."

"He cares more about the doormat at his house than Christian," said the former employee".

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/TheStonedMaids/MVP-1.gif)

Montel Vontavious Porter

Mr. Money in the Bank!  8)

CM Punk

Yeah i read that too. But i look at it this way. Since he's been back he's got me points and if he isn't liked he's likely to stay on ECW where he'll wrestle more often then not. If he goes to RAW or SD he'll be in the IC or US picture at least. And who knows with Tomko on the horizion maybe a tag feud too.

And lets not forget he could win MITB.

Jeff Hardy!

HBK and Jack Swagger.  :smoking:

Kurt Angle!

I forgot that TNA was involved. I thought Jim was trying to be a smart arse.  :-[

 The Miz

This is borderline crazy....

....borderline D.  (I know he'll of been thinking this one over)

But... (I've been drinking tooo so thats my excuse, because I had said NEVER agayn)

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/TheStonedMaids/Batista3.gif)

I'll go for Matt Hardy, the guy I thought Jim would pick.

To comment on picks made so far:

Kurt Angle is a great pick if he ends up winning the TNA title. I personally would've waited till after the PPV BUT Angle surely will win that belt before this game ends.


Batista! :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:  Not a bad pick seeing as he is suppose to be back first of May....... BUT, I think He would've been there with your next pick. As much as you have talked to me about taking injured guys and here u go with your 2nd pick!

I think a 2nd pick is way too high to pick an injured and often injured 40 year old roider who has no potential to win a title this game IMO.

When u look at what is left on the board.

Batista is a PPV guy though and seeing as MVP probably won't make many PPV's, that is definitely a positive with this pick.


Other picks

Undertaker is NOT a first pick IMO for the after WM game. Atari Legend and I had a fight over this a long time ago.  UT and HBK are NOTORIOUS for becoming part timers again after the WM leg of the game. So if they go back to just PPV and no weekly matches, those are gonna come back to haunt you.

I'll Go AJ Styles

1st Page/1st Post Edits:

Internet and WWE Superstars Match/Win points included.

A "Slight" change to the gimmick matches points for the sake of simplicity.

The PPV Schedule for this game is now included.


I know WWE don't have him scheduled until May, but I believe the big man when he says....

WWE star Batista says he's not sure when he'll return to WWE TV after recovering from a severe leg injury. He says he would be ready by WrestleMania 25, but he doesn't expect to be involved in the PPV.

Asked what's in store for him at WrestleMania, Batista told the Philippines Star newspaper, "I don?t know. Honestly. And that?s an honest answer."

Batista said in interviews this week that he would be physically ready to wrestle again in one month when WrestleMania 25 takes place, but he doesn't think WWE can fit him into a storyline in time for a match.

"WrestleMania is our biggest show of the year and we really build up for it. The storylines are built up for WrestleMania," Batista said. "Without much time to be built up with a storyline, I don?t think I?ll be fortunate enough to be a part of it."

As for no title potential.  Considering Triple H is expected back on RAW with the show so crowded I'd expect him to be moved to Smackdown as the #1 Babyface  :P

And MVP not wrestling on many PPVs?  That'll change when he becomes Mr. MITB

When if he wins MITB

Evan Bourne please.

Sting

No guesses for the guy with the teams highest average age ;)

I sense a Ric Flair 5th Pick : ok:

Damn it Slash, u took my guy

That makes me happy  :P

Course it does  8)

Incidently, after sweet's go assuming Cowbell hasn't yet shown up it'll go straight to D's go.

so I don't have to wait 24 hours on Cowbell? Cause I don't want to pick and show my hand if it don't count

Yes. (I nearly did my english do you speak it motherfucker Pulp Fiction quote then, I thought it was simple enough to follow :))

I have a threshold Hammy for the abuse I will take. Right now I am a race car and I am just saying its not good to get a race car in the red..... I could blow

I bet you could.

Its hardly abuse, merely an attempt to get a classic film quote into a thread, chill.  I was hoping for a film analogy response to be honest, racing cars is like an F1 Game thing.

Damn Hammy, u missed your line


I quoted the John Travolta Pulp Fiction cleaning the car line and u are suppose to respond with Jules line;


Oh you are gonna blow? Well I am a mushroom cloud laying motherfucker motherfucker, I am superfly TNT dynamite, the guns of the navarone.

 :hihi: :hihi: I see what u did there :hihi:

I disappoint myself, I completely forgot all that and thought it was WWE Game I all over again, now I feel really stupid, that's what happens when you watch classic movies stoned, I should probably rewatch it under my new found sobriety.  :hihi: (I say new found...just realised its like 2 years since)

Pulp Fiction is my all time favorite movie. I can almost quote it word for word the entire thing. U broke out a pulp Fiction quote so that got me jazzed up!  U ruined it damn it! HAHA!   U started out Jules but ended up as a Ringo.  :hihi:

Epic!

That's thirty minutes drive away. I'll be there in ten.

You better not be, perv. And unless my geography is miles off, I could swear that it's more than a thirty minute drive to... Oh yeah, I see what you did there.

He can't drive there any way.

The drive shaft's broke.

Yeah that was lame, I know.

Hey, guys. You know free will?, yeah?, right. Well, we don't have it. It's an impossibility!

Anyway. Page 342.

D's going to need a trip to the Orchid to experience winning one of these again. You know it will never happen again.

Knock it off Evo. I know how good my draft picks are, when Cowbell picks, he drafts shit, I pick the super awesome picks because I don't want to lose, I want to win. What's concering me right now isnt my draft picks but the dead Hammy in my garage.  when u drove up to my house, did u see a sign outside that said Dead Hammy storage? Do u know why u didn't see it? the sign wasn't there cause storing dead Hammy's aint my fucking business.

Right. Get back on topic...

... Yah. As if. Everybody knows that the wrestling threads have immunity from such rules. But that we don't trust outsiders...

Dude, Pulp Fiction was 10 minutes ago.

You could of just gone with the cheap option and said you were lost.  I would of, and you'd still in essence be joining in, but as Jim said, back on topic like.

I'm fairly excited to see which wrestler gets the nod next. It's a shame that the draft isn't quicker because the excitement is really there when things get fast and furious.

Don't put words in my mouth, or, rather, don't... Type... Words on my keyboard.

What the fuck is going on? HAHA trippy shit


Where is Sweet? Has he been properly PMed

Now if a Polar Bear showed up, that would be trippy.

I mean a Polar Bear on a message board, the climate and everythings all wrong.  Where did it come from? Where is it going?

D, if you've never watched Lost... There you have it, in a nutshell. Or, there you had it. Or, here you will have it...

... Oh, Christ, not again! Son of a...

... Bitch.

Uh....


The uh...


WWE Game is skipping....through time.


It's already been won, we've just gone back 5 months. Jim needs to turn Mod wheel....just a little.

ill take booker t and rey mysterio when its my pick and if one is not available ill take kozlov

sorry guys my comp got stolen then returned busted and I can only get online via my phone.

I should report you to the mods for that.

What? :hihi: :hihi:


U guys are trippin me out tonight with your off the wall bizarre humor




So Cowbell has Booker T and either Rey or Kozlov


Sorry bout that computer problem Cowbell. Do u know who did it?

We all know it was u D. We all know how you fear the cowbell!!!!

Cunt...........

d'   I have my idea who did it. ots one of 3 guys my friend had over it was gone the next day. I may have threatened some harm to him if I didn't get it back' so then a week later its back and my screen is broke. so that happened 5 weeks ago. so I wll have to put my fued with donnie aside as I can barelly get online now.  but I will have enough for a new laptop in a month or so.  best of luck to you don,
 I hope u have better luck with cena then I had and nice job screwing me in the last game with that bitch. you screwed me royally and I took the bait..

All in good fun Cowbell. I hope u get back online soon and hopefully one of your friends gets that karma bullet right up the ass.

JBL

Why did this thread descend into obscure Lost references?? WHAT THE HELL?? I DON'T EVEN WATCH IT SO I'M AS CONFUSED AS D IS!!!

Bloody mods letting people run riot etc...

Ted Dibiase JR

Vladimir "I really hope he doesn't become a jobber now that he's lost a match" Kozlov

Melina & Cody Rhodes

Uh... Maryse

Robert Roode

I pick Sting and you get him...  :rofl:.

Do u not watch TNA? ::)

Cowbell picks Kofi...Boom! Boom!

Enough to know what the difference in where they'll be next month at least.  : ok:

Sting won't be champ too much longer. Roode could lose the tag titles sure. but what if they don't and continue the Off The Wagon?

Sting also doesn't wrestle a whole lot on Impact

It is worth the risk, especially when you consider I have no shot at a TNA champ by my next pick.

I thought Double J was lurking... I assumed that was where his involvement in Angle Vs. Sting was eventually headed.

Then again, maybe I don't watch enough TNA.  ???

Atari Legend

I challenge you to an Avatar Bet and Signature Bet


If I win, U have to use the avatar and signature of my choosing

and the same for me if u win.


nothing ban worthy though.


Do u accept?

Oh, go on then... (http://www.mygnrforum.com/style_emoticons/default/x_rudolph.gif)

Sounds fun.

Open challenge to anyone who wants to do the same with me.

double J

Big Show

Hmm give me Gail Kim then.

Oh what. I wanted Kim. I thought she'd have gone ages ago but i missed out by only 1. Gutted.

I'll Take Beth and hope that she gets traded to feud with Gail Kim coz thats got potential. And lets face it they are the best two in the company.

Primo Colon.

Carlito

These TNA games leave so many good picks.

I was looking at the TNA roster thats still avalible and there are still 3 champions left and some awesome picks.

The 7 guys who haven't picked a TNA guy yet are in awesome positions i think because of the amount of talent left in TNA compared to whats left in WWE

Of all the TNA Guys left I am kinda suprized a guy like Samoa Joe is still available and someone like part time sting has been taken, Is there something I am missing about TNA D?

James Storm

Maybe some people are being stealth like and waiting for him and don't want attention drawing to his availability.  ;)

And that is why this post will self destruct in...

5...

4...

3..

2..

The next Mr. Money in the bank...

Shelton Ben-jamin!

... Yah. Right.

Samoa Joe and Kane. :smoking:

If i had a do over, I would've waited on my TNA pick. it is a huge risk cause if Beer Money keep up the off the wagon challenge defending the titles every week, its gonna be a great pick. If they lose them at Lockdown, I screwed up

5 month game though and this is the game I broke the margin of victory record last year.

so even if they lose, they have plenty of time to win them back.

My opinion, this 5 month game is the best game of the year due to length. U gotta be patient and spend your cash wisely

me too i think i've fucked it to be honest. I wanted to get the TNA guy in the first two so i had three wrestlers avalible to trade if i needed to. I also thought the better TNA guys would go quickly. People like Joe, Sting, Booker T, Kurt Angle and AJ i was pretty sure they'd all come out early and therefore i wanted one. But seeing Joe go as a third pick makes me think i fucked up as guys like Suicide, Kong and Shelley and Sabin are still avalible.

When you think about it there is probally 10 excellent TNA picks so three people will miss out assuming they pick one at all. Maybe next TNA game we trial everyone has to have one TNA guy to add more pressure to the draft. : ok:

Bah!, bollocks to the both of you. I've really made a mess of this... More so than usual. Taking a TNA guy second was pretty stupid, given that we can only take one each. I'm fairly confident that I will spend the majority of this game eating with a wooden spoon.

And I'll cement that by picking up Kendrick.

I think taking a TNA guy first or second is better, because as gnrfan said, that leaves you with 3 guys to trade, instead of 2.




So I picked 3 Smackdown wrestlers.

Friday nights FTW.

Chavo Guerrero

Swerve so Donnie picks someone crap!  :P

World Wrestling Entertainment has begun promoting the upcoming "WWE Superstars" series, which is set to debut next month on WGN America.

The program will be based around first-run interpromotional bouts between members of all three WWE brands. The tag line for the series is "Expect Everything." The company's biggest stars are featured in the series' promotional campaign including John Cena, Triple H, Undertaker, Batista and Jeff Hardy.

According to their promotional campaign, the series will feature "the biggest Superstars from Raw, SmackDown and ECW." The official blurb on the series reads: "The biggest Superstars from Raw, SmackDown and ECW debut on "WWE Superstars" ? a one-hour exclusive weekly television show ? featuring original matches between any WWE Superstar from any brand, at any time. "WWE Superstars," the only place to see it all! Expect everything. WWE Superstars premieres Thursday, April 16." WWE.com has launched a section promoting the series.

As reported last month, company officials do actually plan on putting forth effort into the program instead of centering it around the likes of Charlie Haas, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and Kung Fu Naki. They plan on having the regularly featured stars appear, as well as its own set of storylines. However, many believe this will only last as long as the program draws good enough ratings to make the extra creative effort worthwhile, and WGN isn't even a top 50 cable station. If nothing else, the show will stick around for the long haul as WWE signed a multi-year deal to air the program not to mention that the long-term future of MyNetworkTV remains in question.

Maybe Superstars should be scored like the other shows then  ???

Get the Tables!  8)

Its a one hour WWE wrestling show ON TV, even if its jobbers, its still a real show because unlike heat (when we scored it, anyway) its actually on TV. So why wouldn't we score it like other shows?  :smoking:

When this game began, Heat AND Velocity had TV Deals.

Remember that, when Heat was on Channel 4; they had the tag titles defended in a tables match once.

If they had stuff like that a lot more, the show might not have been pointless.

Really, no one knows WHO they have as the draft is April 13th. so those SD guys could be Raw guys. U never know.


Me and Beer Money have one message for everybody trying to win this game:


Sorry Bout Your Damn Luck!

I didnt relize the game had been going on that long...or maybe i didnt relize both heat and velocity were on tv that long.  :hihi: :smoking:

Unless anyone objects due to the advertising of main eventers for this game we'll score it like other shows and if by the end is the "Haas Show", we'll re-evaluate it accordingly.

I'll take Devon.

I'll also vote that we score it the same for this game, then take a vote in August to say if we keep it as that.

Is it me but are Hammy and Faraday just trying to cancel each other out.

Faraday takes Primo, Hammy takes Carlito.... Hammy takes Brother Ray, Faraday takes Brother Devon. Expeirienced Tactics there.

Talking of Experience i'll take Finlay

Hadn't noticed that, interesting point  8)

It'll be a miracle if there's someone left on my last pick that I'm actually happy about taking.

I don't know. with this superstars show it has potential to have alot of people that score. If we are scoring that show then it will certainly change the way people pick i think. Because instead of picking injured guys with a hope of a return with big points people will pick guys like haas & wang.


So how are we scoring the "Superstars" show. I think it should at least be reduced points until we know what we are dealing with

As Evo suggested with will re-evaluate it in August, for now its going to be scored like all other shows, based on the advertising if nothing else.

It shows Main Eventer after Main Eventer, true it would be dumb to put Haas in the trailer, but word is (as shown above), initially at least they are going to try with this show, and I think at the very least it will be on a par with the one hour ECW which is scored like RAW and Smackdown.

What's that?

Your picking Jesse and I'm having Festus  :o Sweeeeeet  8)

Jesse Gymini?

Off-topic a little, but you have to wonder the effect this new show will have on things. We'll either have an Attitude era style "storyline for everyone" thing, or the same guys main eventing Raw, Smackdown and ECW will have another TV match a week, and we'll be back to injuries galore.

its an interesting strategy for evo and hammy, but if one does bad, both will do bad.

i am actually shocked they took Team 3D so early....... with Suicide and Kong still avaiable and only a few people left to draft TNA, I don't think anybody would've took them. so they could've had another great WWE guy and still got 3D or at worst kong  with that pick.

I know Team 3D are possibly beating Beer Money,but I honestly can't see them getting a long title run. Even if they beat Beer Money, I see BM winning them back within a month. TNA are growing and they aren't going to go too far away from what is working. So i will be really surprised if they win and keep them for a good part of the game.

Its not strategy its coincedence, obviously.  :P

And I go for greedy impulse points, the idea of someone winning and defending a title in a gimmick match is to much of a chance to pass by, it's 74 points in the bag, even with only one to two more titles defences and just regular appearances (that they get), for a 4th placed pick, its fine by me.

As for Suicide, word is they are going to have an impromtu "Feast of Fired" match in a month or so and he is going to lose and getting fired for a 3rd time, just for shits and giggles like.  And Kong has weight issues and is reportedly being given leave for six months while she has surgery on her knees which are starting to buckle.  I hear Kip James is in for a push though, so I advise people to pick him, cos we all know having him in game play would be super, smashing, great!  8)

Darn such a shame i already got my TNA'er ;D

Who's Pick?

Sorry for being late, was at a gig last night then went drinking with the band.

I'll take Tyson Kidd

Is that carny for 'he's going to be released soon'?

Yeah, definitely Umaga

zeke jackson

To Quote my Friend D, You got to go for the win, second place is just the first looser. Sure I could take R truth here or William Regal and get a few 12 point weeks, or get a diva, but I got to "TAKE A RISK" with my lackluster Team and hope someone gets back to SD soon to take that US Title from MVP




. I want the always injured, but always entertaining...................................














Mr Kennedy.

Kennedy.

^ I wish I didn't keep changing my mind about my last draft... :P

Great Pick Cowbell. He was my next pick



I take

Mark Henry

how the hell did he last this long?

He is winning MITB :hihi:

The temptation to pick The Artist Formerly Known As Billy Gunn is big, but I'll take Mickie James. Future Women's Champ, baby. 8)

Just to clear up a previously asked question, I found this in the WWE Game Archives, so I'll edit it in to the rules.

Suicide and Michelle Mccool

I'll regret this later, but I'll take Awesome Kong. I know she's a champion....

 R-Truth

We have reached the point we never thought we'd reach, people. Festus has been classified as 'inactive'. Truly a momentous time.


Has he been gone for that long?? :o

Er...more than 3 weeks, yes.  :yes:

D, I CAN'T BELIEVE R TRUTH WAS STILL LEFT I WAS HOPING HE WOULD FALL TO ME. I DON'T KNOW IF CRYME TIME WILL BE FUEDING WITH MNM FOR THE TITLES NEXT AND WITH JBL AS IC CHAMP I DON'T SEE A POINT IN REGAL AND IF THE GREAT KHALI CAN'T MAKE IT ON WM PPV THEN I DON'T SEE HIM BEING ACTIVE MUCH. LEAVES ME WITH KELLY KELLY. ILL TAKE KELLY KELLY.

I feel good about my team to be honest.

Getting Henry 4th and R Truth 5th makes my Roode pick at 3 not so bad. I was afraid I was gonna be left with 2 shit picks, but I like my team


R Truth didn't do much lately but that was only due to WM and he not being a part of it.

He and Henry should get me steady pts.

Cena hopefully wins Gold, Dibiase is due some sort of title before the next 5 months, and Roode always has potential to win back tag gold, hell maybe the next impact.

best of all

No fucking injured guys!

yeah i think you are right. for me there won't be a better 5th pick than R-Truth. i dont think he'll win any titles on SD (unless he gets thrown in a tag team) but i reckon he might be one of those guys that gets put on ECW to challenge swagger. He is a good steady worker who has a decent fan base.

There are a few teams that look impressive to me already i especially like high times and Faradays teams. Hammys has great potential due to the length of the game and if Batista returns soon and MVP wins MITB and the Colons take the tag match at Mania then he'll be tough competition.

Malcolms team is solid looking if the womens division is as prominant as it has been in the last 5 months.

As far as my team goes i need AJ Styles to keep his title as long as possible (of which i have little hope) and i need Christian to get a title at some point. With the draft coming up i think he could end up a US or IC title holder by the time this game is up. if that happens then i have a chance. But my team definatly isn't the strongest on paper

Maybe i am wishful thinking, but I honestly can't see Team 3D having a long title reign. I think they will win them but lose them back within in a month.

If Carlito and Primo lose, they become almost worthless

GNR I am actually surprised u took Christian over John Morrison. If Morrison wins at WM which I say they will, he wrestles on so many different shows and since game V or so, he has been a constant top 10 scorer in every game.

It was between the two. And i thought that the colons will win as i think they are less valuable apart. The thing with Christian is whatever brand he is on i can see him with a title. ECW i think he'll win the Title eventully, SD i think he could win the US especially if MVP wins the MITB and on RAW i can see him ending JBL's reign. And lets not forget he could win MITB. We all know vince isn't big on him but he is a credible champion and i'd be suprised if he hasn't won a title at some point in this game

al tAKE DJ GABRIAL

Given it's 10 to 3 in the morning...  :P

Here is to hoping for a series 5 on 1 matches  :yes:.

Slash666 has so many quality options on TNA its untrue.

He's the last guy to pick a TNA'er and he has:

Alex Shelley
Sabin
Jay Lethal
Matt Morgan
Rhino

and a host of knockouts especially with reports that Awesome Kongs knees are playing up.

Now i'm not an TNA expert but i assume that they will be on alot of PPV's and i guess on alot of impacts

a) Quit forgetting Kip James and...

b) Is this a swerve attempt so he doesn't pick your planned next pick, he doesn't have to pick TNA

c) Also what about LAX, they have briefcases with title shots  :yes:

Don't forget LAX also OOPS hammy already said them


Matt Morgan is in the midst of a nice push

1/ Kip James is a distant memory to me!! haha

2/ i'll probally take a diva coz the pickings are slim as to which one i'll take i have no clue. Can you honestly say i think there is better TNA'ers left than WWE'ers. I'm not smart enough to work a "Swerve" but if you wanna give me a second TNA pick to test my swerve i'll take it : ok:

3/ I have already said i have no idea about TNA i didn't even know about the title shots.

Alex Shelly please, nearly picked him for my 4th pick. I decided against being the only non-TNA'er  :hihi:

I'll go with Maria

We'll see if this Tommy Dreamer thing goes anywhere. A speculative pick.

no DH Smith?   :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:
That fuck is the Chinese Democracy of the WWE


I think i picked his ass like 3rd or something a few games ago. :hihi: :hihi:

Hurricane Helms

Mike Knox

I shall take Sir Charles Haaaas.

I will say this:

Usually, after a draft, U can kind of look at the board and say, OK, this guy, this guy and this guy are more than likely going to win


I'll be honest, Looking on the draft board, I see 10 teams i seriously like

This could be the most competitive game yet.


I love TNA in this game, it just makes things so balanced.

Might as well take JTG. Maybe they fued after mania for the titles.  :smoking:

Nearly took Kennedy with my Kane pick...wish I would have. But thats just me being a huge fan of Kennedy. He'll prolly just get injured again. Or film another crappy movie.  :hihi: :smoking:

You can still back of your challenge if you like, I won't stop you...  :P


-edit-


Corrected for atrocious spelling/punctuation errors. 

LOL

your team wasn't one of the 10 I liked. :P

C'mon then D. Lets get your top 3 predictions out the way so you can't claim halfway through you knew it was gonna end up like this.

If I don't win this one I'll change my username and avatar to something of a group vote's choosing for a week.

If you win this, chances are I'll be second  :hihi:

I honestly think the Team 3D pick will end up biting u guys. true they may win at lockdown and get u a 74pt lead, BUT this is the long game. EVO is winning the previous game based on the huge lead he jumped out to early with title wins and defenses. In 2 more months though, if that game lasted 2 more months, honestly, he may not finish in the top 3.

I've heard rumor that Bubba Ray is very close to retirement. So winning the titles at Lockdown could be their last hurrah or something

Everybody's team has question marks though. I will have to sit down this weekend and type up a review and I will.

My team looks pretty solid though I must say

I like

My team
Hammy
Evo
Malcolm

Thats the top 4 IMO and maybe my opinion only

of course I am biased on mine.

I just think with Cena, Dibiase, Roode, Henry, R Truth, I have a lot of active wrestlers and a few possible champs and a decent PPV roster

if Cena wins heavyweight, Dibiase is certainly due either an IC or Tag title this game, U got Roode who within 5 months will win back the tag title IF they lose them and then Henry and R Truth should be good for 5 to 12 every week.

I think I'm going to have to rely on Edge and Maryse for most of my points. Hopefully, they can get a few title defenses during this game. Hopefully, Kong will do well too 'cos she's going to be on my team for the entire game... :-\

atari I  got into the draft way late like picking after your first two picks and after 15 or so of the best guys were gone and I think my team is way better then yours. your team is loaded with big guys who never wrestle much. undertaker Always disappears after WM for awhile until SS.

Sting is already a partimer for TNA, so he will ONLY be on PPV matches.

Big Show. Well it seems when he is on TV is behinds the scenes or run in, His weight looks up from last year by 100+ so he might be having knee problems.


Umaga seems to have run his course re introducing him on SD has helped but their is no current fued for him and I dont see him getting any titles or on TV much.

Great Khali, he is in the same boat as Big Show. 

I know I dont have a great chance in this game but I am confident I will be beating you this game.

Yeah, thats why I didn't pick u Cowbell, u technically didn't pick 4th and I have no idea why u took Booker T with your first pick. He isn't the legends champ anymore




I like Blowups Team also if  Edge doesn't miss a bunch of time. But rumor is, he will be missing a lot of time after WM due to injuries.

Ok i figured if D isn't gonna take a closer look i will.


Malcolm: Randy Orton, Melina, Cody Rhodes, Suicide, Michelle McCool

Well we all know of Malcolms Pedigree in these game he is great at picking regular scorers and often (like with Booker T a few games ago) finds a gem from nowhere that makes him a strong contender.

Going first he took the pick alot of us would have. Orton is the best thing in Wrestling IMO at the moment and i think he'll certainly be champion within this game even if he doesn't win at Mania. He is due a sustained reign IMO and i wouldn't be suprised if he sees this game out as world champion and that alone is a crap load of points.

Melina is an interesting pick coz i still believe she is not the best diva on RAW and i'm not convinced that she'll have the title for that long. She is one of the better workers though and i think alot depends on the draft and where Beth Pheonix and Gail Kim end up because i'm pretty sure that they'll become the big WWE Diva feud eventully (much like Kim & Kong in TNA). The other question surrounding all Divas right now is how prominant will they be after WM?

Cody Rhodes has potential to be an awesome pick but my worry is that he'll be in the shadow of his partner and that may lead to Cody being left out in the cold. However i think that being part of the Legacy can only be a good thing and i can see Priceless having the tag titles before this game is out. Nothing puts a stable over like all of them having Gold.

Suicide could be Malcolms Booker T of this game. From what i understand about TNA the X Division has had quite a few champions of late and many are screaming for stability to get it back to the days of AJ, Joe & Daniels. Should Suicide bring that to TNA he could have his title for at least half this game which could leave Malcolm with the possibility of 4 champions in his team.... But i guess we'll see.

Michelle McCool is a 5th pick and i think thats about right for her. McCool will likely stay on the same show as Taker and while she is with him there is always a case for he being on TV. I can't see another title reign unless they decide to put Gail Kim, Beth Pheonix and Melina on the same show.

All in all i think Malcolm has a top three team on paper. Orton is a guarenteed points machine and if Melina and Suicide keep hold of their titles i think he might be hard to beat.

BlowUpYourVideo: Edge, Vladimir Kozlov, Maryse, Mickie James, Awesome Kong

The best thing about BlowUp's team is that its void of his nemesis Festus! haha only joking. He has the ever relaible Edge who is always gonna be buzzing around the title picture and will certainly be on every PPV if fit. Will Edge walk out of Mania with the title? I hope so but BlowUp defiantly needs it if he has a chance to win.

Koslov is an interesting 2nd pick because it could be a brilliant choice or aweful. I'm waiting for the big Koslov push that never seems to come. Maybe this game is his time, my only concern is that they obviously don't trust Koslov yet as they could have easily put the US title on him but chose against it for some reason. If he wrestles he'll win but i worry how much he'll wrestle.

Maryse has been excellent since her suprising 1st title win and i think she always gives a good account of herself and i hear that Vince is high on her. She will certainly be one of the more frequently used Divas but how long she can keep the title will remain to be seen.

Mickie James seems to have been cast to the shadows recently in favour of Melina and Candice but she is decent in the ring and i think she'll feature alot on RAW. As a former champion i think it'll be a while before she is back at that level but we'll have to wait and see how much the divas are used.

Awesome Kong is by far the best TNA knockout pick. She is the champion with few in her league around her. The only problem is that she is supposed to have bad knees that might need a rest soon which mean she could be droping the title. But if the knees hold up i think BlowUp has the best 5th Pick in the game.

BlowUp needs 3 things 1/ Edge to be champion for a fair portion of this game. 2/ The Divas to be prominant in WWE during this game. 3/ The strength to not pick up Festus.

If that happens i can see BlowUp doing well.

More to follow......

Don, you should of given me a heads up, I scene booker t and scott steiner on tv 3 weeks ago and I thought he still had the legends title. It was the first tna I seen in months, and I wanted to hurry and get my picks in time to partcipate in this game. If I knew he wasnt the champion anymore I would of taken JBL with my first pick and Rey second. But its too late for that, also if my spelling and grammar is off its because typing on a blackberryphone sucks.

As for Don's Team, Its the best team I have seen you pick and I like it front to back. I wanted R-truth Bad, and should of taken him with my 4th pick, but I read somewhere Kennedy is coming back and I think if he does it would be a good fued with him and MVP. for my 5th pick I just took a face diva as I didnt know who else was really worth taking.


John Cena (great pick always on tv and ppv), Ted Dibiase (great pick being on lots of Raw and some ppv), Robert Roode (dont know enough about him), Mark Henry (he sure somehow makes it onto ppvs and ECW alot), R-Truth (maybe best WWE guy in the 5th round).

D: John Cena, Ted Dibiase, Robert Roode, Mark Henry, R-Truth

Rubbish :D haha

Once Again D picks Cena as his first pick. In Fact he has three picks the same as the current Stable Warfare game.... and lets be honest it aint going too well.

D needs Cena to come through big for him to have a chance and i think the draft might see one of Orton or Cena move brands. I believe that Orton is in for a decent length reign powered by the legacy Stable and that means that Cena will have to find other feuds or go without the title for a bit. Thats something that D will be hoping isn't right but maybe the best thing for Cena is to be on the opposite brand to Orton.

Ted Dibiase is another one of these guys loaded with potential that i'm waiting to explode but it seems its not gonna happen. I can see Priceless with the Tag Titles within this game although i know that D is convinced that DiBiase might end up IC champ.... i can't see that until they split from Orton in the future. The other thing that would concern me if i was D is that priceless dont wrestle that much. They have become Ortons lackeys and that will need to change if D wants to reclaim his crown.

Roode is a quality 3rd pick in my book. He wrestles alot and is a shoe in for a title reign within this game. Like D says they may lose their titles but i think they'll come good by the end. I may be wrong in saying this but i'm pretty sure that D had Roode the last TNA game we played too. He sticks to what he knows..... having said that he didn't win that game : ok:

Mark Henry is solid but fading more and more from TV. Swagger has overtaken him on ECW and i can't see what Henry can do but score 12 or 5 points twice a month. I'd be suprised if D gets anything more from Henry than that.

R-Truth is probally the 2nd best 5th pick in the game. I think he'll wrestle quite abit post mania while not doing much the new show Superstars seems custom made for guys like RTruth.

All in all i think D might struggle to begin with but could be a threat late on if Cena & Roode get their act together. On paper i'd say he has an uphill fight to win with so many good teams out there but if Dibiase can come through for him and some good trades then maybe a top 3 finish for D is on the cards.


Mr Cowbell: Booker T, Rey Mysterio, Kofi Kingston, Ken Kennedy, Kelly Kelly

Wow. Cowbell didn't make it easy by not being around to pick. Maybe this former champion is losing the passion for this business : ok:

Booker T IMO is a weak 1st pick but having said that Booker T was the main reason for Malcolms victory in the last TNA game so who knows. Maybe he might end up with a title around his waist again and you'd imagine he'll be on all the TNA PPV's.

Rey Mysterio has potential to be a great pick as i can see him in so many different roles. With the draft coming he could end up anywhere and with a revamped tag division could be included in that to keep him on cards. He can also have the IC & US titles in his sights depending on what brand he ends up on.

Kofi is a little bit like Rey in the sense that he could be thrown into a tag team to keep him on cards. The problem for Kofi is that i can't see any gold on him and i'm not sure he wrestles as much as some other 3rd round picks.

Sicknote i mean Kennedy is a great 4th Pick if he returns soon. If he doesn't then like many before him Cowbell has fallen for the returning hero syndrome that this game offers up. Ask D and Hammy how Kennedy worked out for them? :no:

I like Kelly Kelly as a 5th pick. I think she has a title win in her at some point and with this game being so long then who knows. Could be your saving grace and even if she doesn't win gold i reckon she'll score well for a 5th pick.

Cowbell my old mate.... i think you could be struggling. The best i can see is a mid table finish and thats if someone comes through for you. You are certainly not the weakest on paper but you are definatly not the strongest either. I wish you all the luck though : ok:

sweet616: Triple H, John Bradshaw Layfield, Jeff Jarrett, Ezekiel Jackson, DJ Gabriel

Well HHH is a solid pick. Always has and always will be. Post Mania it'll be interesting to see where HHH is in terms of title picture. Will he be Champ? Will he be After a re-match with Orton ?(different brands to consider there). You know if he is fit he'll be on every PPV which is good but the real points from these guys come from title defences.... but will HHH have a title to defend?

JBL is surely on his last run but that could be a good thing for Sweet as we all know he and Vince get on and maybe one last title run is Vince's present to JBL (albeit a IC title run). It will make a change for an established star to have the IC belt and this might mean more defences which could be excellent for sweet. On the other hand if he has lost it before may then you might find JBL disapear off TV all together.

Not knowing much about TNA its hard for me to comment on Double J. I doubt he'll be World Champ again but you kinda feel that he'll always be involved and i heard that he and Angle are starting a feud which will mean probally at least two PPV with him on.

Zeke & Kendrick had alot of promise IMO and then they just vanish off the radar. With the revamped tag division i can see them being in and around but not champions. I also feel Zeke is unlikely to wrestle much without Kendrick.

As 5th picks goes i think DJ Gabriel is good. he looks good and on ECW he'll wrestle alot you'd assume. He'll be one of the top 5th pick scorers i reckon.

Overall i think Sweet has a decent team. I'll say top half if HHH pulls his weight.

More to Follow......

AtariLegend: Undertaker, Sting, Big Show, Umaga, The Great Khali

Wowza!!

Ok even though many people will say that you have 4 big guys who don't wrestle that often i think the bigger problem is titles.

A couple of games ago i picked Undertaker and i didn't regret it even though he didn't amazing things for me but that was a third pick. The thing with Taker is you always have a chance at a title win. The problem for you is that title win usually comes at Mania if its gonna happen. You know if he wrestles he's likely to win so some might say that even if he wrestles every two weeks and gets 24 its better than wrestling every week and losing getting 20. Lets hope you can get a match out of Taker every other week, but i doubt it.

Sting is obviously the current champ and he seems to have fended off Angle for the moment. I think its nearly a cert that Sting will lose his title by the end of this game but he'll be a good pick if he manages to make it passed two PPV still with the title.

Big Show is a good 3rd Pick IMO simply coz he could be champion by the start of this game. Who knows what they plan to do at Mania. I know alot of people don't give him a chance, which in a weird way gives him a chance. The bigger problem with Big show is that even with a title you wont squeeze many points out of him on SD.

Umaga is a great 4th Pick as i think he has real potential. I don't think he is really injured and i think there is a possibilty of a title somewhere with him within this game. Maybe the US or Even maybe ECW???. Out of all your picks once back he'll be the most consistant scorer i think.

Khali is trouble in this game. You are hoping for handicap matches and battle royals coz that his only means of points.

I dont think its as bad as people have made out but the problem is you can have an Undertaker or a Big Show in your team i'm just not sure you can have both and expect to do well. Its gonna be a hard road IMO.

slash666: Chris Jericho, Evan Bourne, Gail Kim, Tyson Kidd, Alex Shelley

Team Potential i reckon. Lots of if and buts here. Personally i think its the hardest to predict. I think possibly the strongest front three in the game.

Y2J is gonna be solid, he'll be on most RAWs and most PPV's can't fault that pick. I do wonder if he'll still be on RAW though after the draft i think SD could do with an Awesome heel in case Edge needs some time off after Mania and i think Y2J could fit that bill. The reason i say that is i can't see Jericho as a champion on RAW again for a bit. There is Orton & Cena and possibly Batista when he comes back. I think there is more chance of him getting Gold on SD than RAW unless the draft really shakes it up. I'd Say Y2J will be top 10 scorer in this game.

Evan Bourne return has come just at the right time for you as i'm sure he'll either get drafted and feud for the IC title or stay in ECW and challenge the likes of Swagger and Christian for the ECW title. He is over quite well and that could work for him and against him when deciding on how long a title run should last. but i reckon he'll get a title run at some point in this game which would set you up quite nicely.

Gail Kim is joint best 3rd pick in my eyes with Samoa Joe and i'm certain she'll get you a shed load of points with or without a title. She is so talented that i think she'll take WWE diva to a new level and that should mean a decent title run. I look forward to her and Beth in a sustained feud. I really wanted her but you just pipped me to it.

I like Tyson Kidd as a 4th pick because with DH smith still out there, there is still a chance of a tag alliance but you know even if that doesn't happen he'll score steady. Guys like Swagger and CM Punk have shown you only need the fans on your side to go far in ECW and he could go far in such a long game. Consistant at the very least.

Alex Shelley is an awesome wrestler and i'm a big fan. I'm not sure how often he'll wrestle now he has lost his X-Div title but you'd think he'll be on most TNA PPV's which will still be pretty decent for a 5th pick

I think if Bourne and Kim can gather gold in this game then you'll certainly be top 3 maybe even top dog : ok:


Gnrfan: Christian, AJ Styles, Beth Phoenix, Finlay, Maria

Ok its hard to judge my own team but here goes.

Christian was a gamble, but one i still hope pays off. He could be the MITB winner but more importantly i think he has potential to be IC, US or ECW champion within this game depending on the draft. And even if he stays on ECW and wins nothing he'll be on most ECW shows. i could have taken Morrison but i'm happy with my gamble.

I picked AJ Styles coz he is my favourite TNA wrestler and i know he'll be on every PPV they have. The fact he won the legends title is a bonus and i dont expect him to have it long. But i wanted to get my TNA guy out early so i had more to play with in the draft. I think he is a solid 2nd pick not the best but certainly not the worst.

I'm Happy with Beth. I wanted Gail Kim but i think Beth is the next best thing i'm pretty sure she'll be champion at some point in this game. And hopefully Kim and her will have a full time feud which should bring in the points.

Finlay is solid and after WM will be on 90% of the ECW shows. I'm counting on him bringing in 5 or 12 points a week to help me.

Maria was a desperation pick. I had no clue and i had no one from SD on my roster so she made sense at the time. There are many better 5th picks i'm aware of that but we'll see how good old Maria goes.

To be honest i think i could scrape a top 3 place if things go my way, but on paper i'm likely to be top of the middle lot i think with people like Malcolm and Slash laughing at me. :crying:

Faraday: John Morrison, Matt Hardy, Primo Colon, Brother Devon, Tommy Dreamer

Ok on to the probable defending champ.

John Morrison is always a solid bet. He seems to defy the brand split and scores incredibly well. I'm sure he'll be the same again this time. The problem is i keep hearing things about him going Solo again! The draft is a perfect way to split him and Miz up especially if they dont win at Mania. If that happens anything is possible coz he certainly wont belong to ECW anymore and could get lost in the crowd. However should they win at Mania and lead the new tag division along with the Colons and Priceless he could be the biggest scorer in the game.

Since when did Matt Hardy become a 2nd round pick? Maybe some people not sure over his heel turn who knows. What i know is him and Swagger have to be the best 2nd picks in the game. To cement his heel turn i think he needs a title but its hard to see which one he could get his hands on while on SD.

Primo is a clever pick simply coz he can't lose at Mania in the Tag Match this way. He'll have one unifed tag champ to start the next game with. However if the Colons win i'm not sure i'd bet on them having their titles for long with Priceless looming.

Devon is a decent pick with title prospects although i think it will be short term and they can't be traded so it would be interesting to see how long they can keep any titles they win because once they lose them he could become a dud

Tommy Dreamer has this whole "i'll win it by june" thing going which would be such a bonus for a 5th pick. It will be interesting to see if they start his push after Mania and give him more wins on ECW.

I think that on Paper this is the strongest and most consistant scoring team however it doesn't have the title potential that Slash666 team has unless the draft changes that.

Hammy: Montel Vontavious Porter, Batista, Carlito, Brother Ray, Hurricane Helms

MVP is a good pick coz he is the favourite to win the MITB match. The question is will he cash it in this game. I can see him cashing it in after this games finishes as he needs time to progess to that level. But you'd still expect him to score well with his US title and regular matches in the meantime.

Batista is a slight risk because he has been out for so long and they haven't really missed him. I can't see titles coming his way on RAW although a Batista-Cena-Orton sustained 3 way feud could be quite cool. They'll start him off slow which might impact on how Hammy starts but he should come strong towards the end.

Carlito is another slight risk as if he doesn't win at Mania it is an uncertain future for him and unlike his drafting partner :D he doesn't have a back-up should the colons not win. However should they win then its a great pick as you'd expect whoever wins the unified tag titles at Mania to cement their place for at least a couple of months before they could possibly drop them.

Bubba Ray is exactly the same as Devon in that its expected they will win the TNA tag titles but its also expected that its the last reign. If thats true then Hammy will be hoping that they last as long as possible so he doesn't get left with an TNA dud. Still a pretty solid 4th Pick in my eyes.

Helms is another with potential although it seems as if he doesn't really fit anywhere on WWE. Maybe the new show Superstars will mean he'll get more air time and you never know maybe a tag title down the line somewhere. The problem i found with him last game is he'll wrestle for two weeks then disappear for 3 but then what do you expect from a 5th pick.

Hammy's team is Solid and defiantly has top 3 potential if Batista gets back and MVP win MITB. To win he'll need the dudleys to have a 2 month reign minimum and the Colons to be tag champs. Not the best on paper but will surely finish strong. Along with High Times i think he's a dark horse.

More to follow.....

Nice work dude : ok: Keep it coming.  As for the Helms vanishing, he's injured that's all.

Obviously I don't have a team who will be wrestling alot, but at least I can say their match win ratio is easily the highest out of anybody's picks.

Big Show will be in a title feud when the game starts.

Taker is scheduled to feud with the winner of Big Show/Edge/John Cena feud from May onwards.

Khali is the biggest non-title chasing face on SmackDown!, according to that alleged leaked script.

Umaga is a "doesn't lose alot, but can wrestle regularly guy".

...As for Sting, that was probably dumb of me.

I wouldn't be to sure, he wrestles on television more than people think and he's going to retain against Foley, that's 44 points in the bag right there.

Thing with TNA is they actually have title defences on tv so if he holds it for just a few more months he could work out well, last game with TNA he was in the Top 5 TNA Scorers:

Booker T = 266
James Storm = 251
Robert Roode = 244
Eric Young = 242
Sting = 210

Great write up man! Keep them coming!  : ok:

Timothy: CM Punk, The Miz, James Storm, Chavo Guerrero, Mike Knox

CM Punk is always gonna be wrestling. Punk is one of those guys who could be in line for a jump in the draft. He has fought almost everyone on RAW and feuds with guys like Matt Hardy, Edge and Big Show would freshen him up a bit. I think Punk is a good pick because i always get the impression that Punk is a guy that WWE trys to keep on TV as he has a good following and portrays that "Straight Edge" lifestyle. My only problem with him as a 1st pick is will he get any gold in this game? He has just lost his IC title and i dont think he'll be back in the title picture on RAW... so that dosen't leave us with anything on RAW except from weekly 12 or 5 points which is great but maybe not first pick great.

The Miz has been one of the over peformers in these games for a while now. I think Miz is the key to Timothys team if he and Morrison come out of Mania champions and continue the way they have been going then Miz has potential to be a huge scorer in this game and certainly Timothy's key if he is to do well. The problem is should they lose at Mania and then get split up i'd say Morrsion has a better chance than Miz in WWE.

James Storm is a solid TNA pick he'll score well i reckon and will lay the platform for a good team but for how much of this game he'll have his tag title remians the question mark over Storm as a pick.

Chavo is an interesting one because i think post Mania chavo might be on TV a bit more but the problem is that he can go weeks without scoring and he is one of those picks that could be a real dud should the creative team have nothing for him.

Mike Knox is defiantly a 5th pick. He'll have to move brands to do anything unexpected. I can see mr knox traded before this game is out.

Its hard to know what to make of this team. to win his front three will need to get big points because i cant see Chavo or Knox doing much but then i look at the front three and i think that if titles stay on Miz & Storm and Punk is on PPVs then he'll be up there.


Jim: Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, Shelton Benjamin, The Brian Kendrick, Charlie Haas

I think Jim picked wisely with Jeff Hardy because i think he'll be on TV most weeks and will win more than he loses. Whether or not he'll get back in the title picture will be the interesting point or will his feud with Matt just drag on and on. A solid first pick.

Kurt Angle is the No 1 TNA pick probally and will surely win the title at some point. Although i understand that they are moving him towards a feud with Jarrett which could mean he'll be waiting some months to get a title shot again. Still he'll score well though and could even be the top TNA scorer.

Shelton is on the down at the moment but is one of the most talented workers and will score consistantly even if its not big points i.e. title points. if the others score big then Shelton will support them well enough.

Kendrick is another who should be doing better. If the tag division is revamped then maybe him and Zeke will get in on the action but they seem along way from titles at this point. The new show superstars could be his saving grace.

I had Haas in the last game and he scored bugger all and i think his gimmick has now gone. I wonder if he'll continue to pop up as comic relief or whether he'll be repackaged yet again somehere. Another that might need the new show to get any TV time.

I think Jims problem is PPV points he won't get many from the WWE side of things and has no divas. Kurt Angle is gonna have to score big i think for Jim to do as well in this game as he is in the current game. I'm not saying wooden spoon but he'll be closer to the bottom i reckon.


High_times: Shawn Michaels, Jack Swagger, Samoa Joe, Kane, JTG

My favourite HBK. I don't think HBK is a first pick but he'll be on most PPVs and will definatly score steady. Again titles are a problem but then i guess High Times did pick his 1st pick last so maybe i'm being harsh.

Swagger is a great pick as long as he keeps his title. The fact he's not on Mania is a good thing probally for HT coz it means he'll definatly start the next game with the ECW champion. and looking around the ECW locker room only Christian & Bourne seem likely to take the title off him so i think Swagger will be an Excellent pick.

Samoa Joe is probally the best third pick in the game as i can see Joe being the a main attraction of TNA in the coming months. It could even lead to him being champ by the time this game is up and if he wins it i'd imainge he won't lose it quickly. Great Pick.

Kane is a good 4th Pick as he'll score regualry and will appear on the odd PPV and not many 4th picks have Kane's statue. I can see Kane scoring steady in support of HT's first three.

Being the last pick of the game i though that HT might have taken a diva rather than JTG but i suppose there is a chance of them being more prominant in the Tag Division if its revamped.

I think High Times has title potential and will certainly be in the top 6 with this team. If Swagger keeps the title for the majority of the game i think he has a chance of the no1 spot if not i think he'll still be top 3 if he trades well.

Out with the old, in with the new, starting tonight, its the beginning of plans to repeat, with Colons defending their straps on every show as the Unified Champs, Team 3D going to their spirtual home to leave DOUBLE CHAMPS! Batista crushing everyone in his path and MVP defending his strap at every opportunity.  Oh and Hurricane....Yeah...well he sucks, but I'll ditch him when someone debuts.

Do you mean Colons losing them within a month to Priceless? And Batista re-aggrivating his injury and NOT Mr . Money In The Bank MVP and One month champs 3D.... Looks like from Winner to Wooden Spoon for me. : ok:

On the other Hand Christian will be ECW champ and AJ will keep the legends title for the entire game. Beth will dominate the womens division. Finlay and Maria will go on winning streaks that make Goldberg's look rubbish :yes:

Its funny how Mania and the draft have and could turn this game.

Bubba has been talking of retiring or taking time off for a while. so I have a feeling he will get pinned and maybe fired at Lockdown............ And he is undroppable :hihi: :hihi:

one can hope


My team is solid this time 1-5

Cena shouldn't lose till Summerslam at the earliest

Dibiase is due SOMETHING whether it be tag titles or IC title

Roode will be a nice scorer even if they should lose, i expect them to win the titles back before the game is over

Henry will be solid, 12 pts here, 5 pts there, but pretty consistent

R Truth same as Henry

I am just hoping my entire team lasts atleast 1 week this time before a serious injury, Last game Bastita Killed me from the get go. Game before that Cena got hurt the 2nd week. I had him and dropped him and had him and dropped him and had him, I wasted all my cash trying to pick up some jobber for a week or two while juggling the chain gang. Tonight marks my return from being a bottom weller to being ANYTHING better then a wooden spoon. I wish JBL could of left WM as IC champ and dropped it tonight, Im sitting with 1 champion on my team, and because of my confusion I didnt get a TNA champ, but I think Booker is a solid TNA TV talent, he brings in the black fans, and Rey brings in the hispanic fans and wrestles on tv alot, Kofi, is a midlevel guy who is on almost all raws., and Kelly is good for diva points until someone debuts. My big question mark is whether Kennedy will be scaring me by not returning or if he will come back and get me some points. COWBELL can't possibly do any worse this game then the last.

no doubt, booker will wrestle on every Impact and every PPV

only thing that makes it a bad pick is, u could've gotten him with your 5th pick.

Hey when you are trying to access the internet via a Blackberry phone and seen you missed your firs tpick and are about to get kicked from the game you got to think fast, I think I officially have the lowest starting picks in this games history and it should be interesting to see see how they can do for me, And if I can't win lets hope atleast Donnie Can win it all : ok:

U know though Cowbell, I've seen teams that on paper didn't seem the best, but win. Look at Malcolm two games ago. Miz at the 5th pick won him the game.

He had JBL, Cody............

I mean I still couldnt figure out how that team won.

So its truly hard to say just looking at rosters who is going to do what. I noticed Kane was a 4th fucking round pick. how does that happen? LOL

I pray this is my year *Immitates Jeff Hardy last year* Its time for my childhood dream to be realised!!! :yes:

I've been looking, and if HBK doesn't go into semi retirement, High times has a damn good team 1-4 HBK, Swagger, Samoa Joe and Kane............ watch out for him in the top 5.


After WM I am going to make my predictions now since some stuff is  a little clearer. Of course the draft could knock stuff off course.



1. D  I always pick myself, I really do think I have a solid 1-5 this time. Cena will defend on every PPV which is huge pts, Dibiase should win a title, If Roode wins at Lockdown, we might as well start a new game. Henry scored nice last game and should get me around the same this time, R Truth should also be fairly consistent. I'd like to see him move to ECW.If Hammy and Evo's teams catch the breaks and Beer Money loses and Dibiase stays a lackey, I will finish anywhere from 5-8.


2.Hammy: MVP US Champ and is finally getting his push in which he should make up for all the jobs he did: Batista should come back with a vengeance and do well this game. He isn't do another injury till after Summerslam, so Hammy should be fine.  Carlito should hold onto tag belts for a few months, will they defend them much? It is hard to say. The wildcard is Brother Ray. I promise I read on rumor sites he was going to retire or take a long time off due to injuries etc etc. If they win at Lockdown, Hammy has a HUGE lead starting out this game, if they don't and he does retire or takes a leave, Hammy could be middle of the pack if not lower. Hurricane is a ? mark, who knows.

3. Evolution: Kind of the same as Hammy. Morrison no longer Tag champ but I see an immediate feud with Rey Mysterio for the IC title.Matt Hardy except for last game is usually a solid pick. I expect him to get back to being a workhorse. Primo and D'von the same as above with Hammy......  Could finish top 5 or if things go bad, could finish in the lower portion.

4.Malcolm: Orton should win that title from HHH eventually, a big ? for Malcolm is Melina and how long she will keep that belt. 2nd pick, I thought was way too high. Does have Cody who hopefully wins tag gold and Suicide should maybe get  a couple title defenses BUT if he is Christopher Daniels and they get rid of him....... Malcolm could fall towards the bottom. McCool should be a decent 5th pick




5. High Times: I really really love his team. HBK if he stays active should do well, Swagger holds onto the ECW strap a while longer, Samoa Joe is pts gold and possible title win by the end of the game. Kane is an absolute steal at the 4th pick and will always be a top scorer. only thing that hurts him is having Swagger as the only champ and he has had it for a while........... if he loses it, High Times drops down.



6.Slash666: Jericho and Bourne will help Slash stay near the top. If Hammy and EVo's teams dont go well, Slash could win a title this game. He has one of those Malcolm like solid teams. Bourne could win a title, is a potential multiple show threat, Gail Kim is due a push and maybe a title, Tyson Kidd looks up and coming.  Slash is my darkhorse to win this game. his team doesn't jump out at you on paper necessarily, but the more u examine it, the more dangerous it is.

7.GNRfan: Christian will be points every week, AJ will get some title defenses and wrestle a lot, Beth Phoenix is a MONSTER and I wish I had taken her and gambled on Roode dropping. Finlay is steady, Maria who knows, could do nothing, could win the diva's title or something. should be consistent threat throughout game.

.8. Cowbell: The more u look at his team. It is pretty damn solid. Booker T without a legend's title will still score very well, Rey is the IC champ, Kofi wrestles almost every Raw, If Kennedy comes back and gets a push, Cowbell could really surprise some people.

9. Blowup: lot of this depends on if Edge takes time off. if he doesn't, Blowup could be top 5. If he does, this is about right. Who knows with Kozlov what will happen with him, Awesome Kong is great though and should get big points if she isn't injured. How much longer will Maryse be champ?? lot of ? with this team.


10.Jim: Love the top 3 picks, Hardy, Angle and Benjamin but after that it depends on Kendrick and what kind of push he keeps. Jeff Hardy was sort of disappointing last game, if he turns it around, Jim could finish a lot higher.Same with Shelton, I am gonna be curious to see where he ends up. If Angle could win the Title, that would of course change things.

11.Timothy: CM has money in the bank but when will he use it?  Miz now without the tag belts and maybe a split is ? cause how active will he be as a singles guy?  James Storm should give Timothy huge points, but if they lose at Lockdown, that will be tough. The other two, Chavo and Mike knox......... knox was a surprise last game but I am not sure how much longer he will stay active. Chavo same way. If Beer Money retain and punk cashes it in this game and wins, and Miz doesn't lose his spot, Timothy could finish top 7 or so. But it will depend on those last 2 picks.

12.Atari: Undertaker is said to be very beat up and i expect him to go back to being very part time, Sting should lose the title sometime this game, who knows about Umaga and what will happen with him, Same with Big Show, how active will he be this game? Sometimes he is, and like 2 games a go for me, he is outscored by a diva.

13. Sweet: with JBL retiring or leaving, HHH should lose the belt at any time, Jeff Jarrett will wrestle here and there, Ezekial and DJ gabriel......... not sure what they will do or how steady.





NOTE: a lot of these standings are close: I mean 10 through 3 could be less than 50 pts. or I could be absolutely completely wrong.

debuts will be huge.

Could happen tonight, was a thread over at wrestlecrap about people who have debuted/re-debuted the day after 'Mania.

Mankind in 1996, X-Pac in 1998, Lesnar in 2002, Goldberg in 2003, Umaga in 2006 and Cryme Tyme last year.

debuts will be huge.

If we disagree will you delete it  :P


Don't forget Shelley, he has Gold too.


If that happens I think he'll do better than 7 or so  :hihi:

And has Atari taken the spot Cowbell used to have as your sworn enemy, you two seem to be getting along way to well, I think Atari has the psychological edge, the "Can I trade D?" moment is a classic, now in his first proper game, if he was to beat you, well, it'd amuse me anyway  8)

He made 12 rounds and didn't miss a Raw

what gold does shelley have? I havent watched this past Thursdays Impact. Did he win the x title back from Suicide?

If Atari beats me this game, I will set out the next game. That shit ain't happening


There's no way in hell, he will ever beat me
He is an Atari I am a fucking PS3!

IWGP Junior Tag Team Titles.

20k on Santino

Just in case anyone was wondering, yes D suffers from OCBS. (Obsessive Compulsive Bidding Syndrome)  :P

Also dude, remember the new bidding rule?  That bid doesn't count because you ain't made it properly, to be honest I'd forgotten actually, but when you bid you have to say who you will drop if you win, so once the 48 hours expires the switch is made automatically, you know to avoid using the 7 days to be sneaky.

So your bid should be "20k on Santino, and if I win I drop R-Truth for him".  Assuming that's who you are thinking about ditching, but yeah the bids invalid.

I don't have a good feeling about Kozlov. I'm predicting he's going to mysteriously disappear from TV for months now that they've got nothing for him. Oh, when has that happened to me before?? Hopefully they'll just stick the vodka-fed colossus in some squash matches for now.

Hopefully Maryse will defend the title a few times this game (without Gail Kim interrupting) because she only did it about once last game.

This could well be one of those middle-of-the-table finishes for me again...



Also, Batista returning first day of the game, Santino using Billy Gunn's old music? Hammy is officially a WWE booker. :P

I reckon i'll finish above you D. I agree Cena is stronger than Christian, thats the advantage of picking top 4 but i think 2-5 i'm stronger.

Cena will have to keep the title the whole game for you to win. you'll definatly need to change your team to win this.

i'm not into making silly bets but i beat you last game and i'm pretty condfident that i'll do it again. :yes:

20k on Santino/Santina   drop R Truth

Yeah but John Cena is way better than Christian. Roode if he keeps tag gold cancels out AJ............ Dibiase and Finlay will cancel unless Dibiase wins a title which he had a much better chance than Finlay........... Mark Henry is better than Maria and u got me on Beth vs R Truth


to be confident u are going to beat my team though is ridiculous. I don't see how u can be "Confident"

Its just funny how you look at it. You compare the wrong picks.

Cena is better than Christian , But AJ is better than Dibiase, Beth is a better pick than Roode, Finlay and Henry are about the same and i reckon Maria will end up with more points than RTruth. Thats how i look at it.

Maybe i'm wrong and i wouldn't guarentee anything. But if you made no trades and neither did i i reckon i'd win. I see us both around 5th, 6th & 7th in this game by the end. Maybe trades will change it and we'll never know but thats why i'm confident. :peace:

How is Beth better than Robert Roode

I don't know how to break this to u, but TNA points count just as much as WWE.

Roode may lose the titles at Lockdown, he may not but I guarantee he will still be on more PPV's than Beth

If they retain, he will be greater than anybody on your roster and I'll still have John Cena.

Dibiase is a potential pick but he should win a title sometime this game. Especially after Orton takes the strap at Backlash. stables ALWAYS in the history of Pro Wrestling get gold.

You said that last game too. :yes:


Beacuse she'll wrestle 3 out of 4 weeks and will probally end up with a title longer than Roode in this game. Just an opinion but i think 3D are winning the titles and i think its their last hurrah.


Cena is your only Major player IMO. and its only an opinion. I just think expecting yourself to win again is naive with the team you have. Cena will have to score a shed load for you to win.

I'm not saying i'll win coz i know i wont but neither will you IMO

Well said.

Clearly the battle will be between me and Evolution (again), and I'll win (again) and also the game after, to therefore "3feat" and make it the year of Hammy.  8)

LOL@ someone making predictions after 1 show of a 5 month game. :hihi: :hihi:

You forgotten your long prediction preview that had to be reposted....before the first show even took place.  ;) :P

Thats a preview and in my preview i made concessions for things that could happen

I said in there I could finish anywhere from 5-8


saying someone's team is better when their are 5 months left in a game is going a little overboard.

I am the only one allowed to make predictions.

If Atari wins the game should end, he he doesnt bid and gets some debuts, he should be in the bottom 3 ranks. And I agree with D, if Atari wins by some lucky stroke of god making vince wrestle the UT weekly then I'll sit out too, because I dont have the best team on paper but I know I am wrecking Atari in this Game like Jake "The Snake"wrecks a coke ball.

I know it's extremely unlikely I will win this game, but the bottom two prediction is equally as silly. 

No I was giving you some credit I said Bottom 3


Undertaker, Seems he regually teaks a break during the summer to come back at Summer Slam. ( I think it dates back to early 90's when Ted Dibiase brought out the fake UT and touted him around all summer until the real UT came back at SS) And if he does wrestle it has to be Part Time to rest up after a big WM event.

 Sting TNA world champion, Sting is a part timer who occastionally wrestles on TV, since TNA is recorded this favors Stings as he could fly in for 2 or 3 matches in a weekend and fly home and they could spread them out, TNA is usually this star the way WWE should use its older stars, to PROMOTE THEIR USE. So I cant see a long Sting Title run,


Big Show, I think he just got his once a year WWE WM push, I remember him returning last year and EVERYONE thought Vince was going to reward him for taking a bump against Floyd and it didn't happen, I have nothing personal against BS, but I don't see him on SD weekly and if he gets on a PPV i dont see him winning a title anytime soon, Backlash is a rematch with Edge against Cena, Big Show is Left out.



 Umaga, I kind of think WWE wore out the novelty of him being a monster and I never seen him on SD to know if he is still a heel or if they tried turning him into a face, Cant see him with a Title or a PPV match on SD.

 The Great Khali Bad knees and all I dont see him in a WWE ring wrestling again. I think WWE is using him how they can because I think hes suppose to be huge in India or whatever. So his skills are bad in ring, worse on the mic, and the worse is his knees I wouldnt be sprized if he doesnt wrestle more then 3 times this summer.



Welcome to the game Atari, you have the biggest, tallest, heaviest team in size so you got that going for you.  Your team could crush mine and D's if they tripped and landed on our guys.

LOL@ the Jake Roberts line! HAHAHAHAHAHA


Cowbell has a very solid team the more u look at it.

I'm getting first blood in this game off Mr Cowbell on Friday.

But you also said you'd finish first.

I think your team will start strong coz Cena probally will go over Edge again and there is still a rematch i guess Edge will take up.

But i think if you made no trades all game you'd be mid table. But thats the beauty of this game Trades can make all the difference.

In D's defence i don't think Hammy will win either. Not with Faraday having a nearly identical but slightly better team

Yeah not talking spoilers here, but I aint sure if the bell rings or its a straight beatdown, no bell no points. And no offense but First Blood? I didnt know 80's Rambo slang was in again, but its all cool. You know If a team or two gets a #1 pick injured like HHH blowing a quad or Cena breaking a leg, theres a great chance you could gaurentee not taking last, so you can look forward to that.

I always say that though

Random diva tag matches could help me a lot this game. And I know I've already said it, but Maryse needs to defend that damn butterfly belt. Surely the WWE didn't just create a championship for it not to be defended??



And when did the Atari/Cowbell feud start? What set that off? Cowbell spill coffee on Atari or something?

I sense a creative back story coming up..... : ok:

$25,000 on Santino/a Marella and drop Hurricane if I win.

50k on Santina Santino drop R Truth

$55,000 on Santino/a Marella and drop Hurricane if I win.

60k on Santino  drop R Truth When I win

If.  ;)

Don't wait 46 hours and bid. Let's finish this shit today

I really hope he wins the "Women's Title", I'd hate for "D" to embarrass himself... 

Shit, wouldn't be the first time or the last

Don't be trashing my boy D and his team,  your overweight, jobber comedy team is enough embarrassment for the whole HTGTH Wrestling League, I bet you would of picked Yokozuna if he wasnt dead as you like the overweight/overated superstars.

Nice Feud

can i start bidding on r-truth yet?  :rofl: :smoking:

Yeah but i'd be careful if D and Cowbell can get along then Atari can win it :D


Oh and Hammy how can High Times only have 9 when Joe just got him 12?

Well if they keep to their word, if that happens they are gone from the game right?  :D

I'm still half asleep, fixed it, although that is the 2nd time I've done High_times out of points recently, I swear its accidental.  8)

Been searchin through the WWE Game Archives again and found this from the last time ECW had a "Chase to the Title".


Same applies here so either Christian, Tommy Dreamer or Finlay will get 43 if they win the final match.

And to think I was one pick away from getting Dreamer and then Faraday nabbed him.

*shakes fist*

Also while I'm here, Monday's RAW, being 3 hours means match points 6/win points 10.

And lastly;
$65,000 on Santino/a Marella and drop Hurricane if I win.

oh yeah if he beats me ill sit out a game. I think barry horowitz has a betttttttter chance of beating the undertaker at WM then atari beating anyone in this game.

I'm not too sure.  Sting should be successful at Lockdown and might have a couple more title defences in him so I'd say he could at the very least cancel out Booker T. 

Mysterio is definately a better pick than Undertaker, that's where you are clearly better.

Assuming Umaga is back soon he should cancel out Kofi Kinston.

Kennedy seems to be out indefinately while The Great Khali is back from film work and wrestling again.

And Big Show easily triumphs over Kelly Kelly.

Obviously trades will come into it but at the moment I'd give the edge to Atari.

70 on santino drop R Truth

So what does the person who comes 2nd get?

To Hammy;

Do the same point totals apply to every title?

5 points.  ;)  We don't have a runner-up in a tournament prize, or a just missed out on being #1 Contender here have 20 points we feel sorry for you reward scheme.


Yeap, hence its wise to pick people who defend titles on a regular basis.

We have always had this because of the nature of the draft, otherwise only the people with Triple H or John Cena would have a chance of winning.

Also this is why me and D are going "Crazy" (Cue a D inspired Britney Spears dance routine) over Santino/a.

It also makes TNA quite powerful, since they tend to have weekly title defences.

Anyway all points scoring is included in post 1, page 1.

I'm feeling generous I know nobody really wants Marella except me, so I'll take him/her since its impossible to repeat so I may as well not try.

$75,000 on Santino/a Marella and drop Hurricane if I win.

Don't say I never do anything for you D.  ;)

hmmmmmmmmmmm

Santino wins the women's title it is a steal.....


will he do it though?

I honestly can't see Santino winning the women's belt. It would make a mockery out of the entire division

Fuck it

I'll never forgive myself if I give up Santino and he does some great shit


80k on Santino/santina  drop R Truth

d I can't believe u would bid that much on santino and drop 3 truth you are nuts. I hope no one outbids you as I would love to add r truth to my team. thanks d for bidding.

May have really went overboard but I am going to gamble.


Could bite me in the ass but u never know

This has got D mind games written all over it. And maybe with Hammys help.  :no:

I think this Santina thing will last about a month. It just goes to show i was right about D's team.... he knows its not good enough as it is and is getting desperate.

I have to be honest i was interested at 50k but not anymore. Even if they give the belt to Santina its just a way for Beth to win it back coz like D says it'll make a mockery out of the division.

Doubtful, last game our brief alliance was for stable purposes, this game, the prospect of me repeating and overtaking D in World Titles is D's worst nightmare, so we are definately NOT working together.  ;)  And I know saying all that makes it sound like we are and I'm just trying to swerve you...but we're not....trust me.  8)

90k on santino and drop JBL

I don't think I like where this is going...  :-\.

dropping jbl isn't  going to help me at all. so I will have to bid  92 k on santino one time. drop ken.

I like where this is going  :).

yeah you should like it. if he doesn't get a replacement for jbl he is basically a 1 man team and it may be possible for you to beat him.

U guys can have him


I do think Santino will be a good pick

but with 5 months to go and having Mark Henry on my team........ I can't afford to have no money just in case.

Psyche!

What the hell? A bidding war over Santino? Will he that valuable? Not that I'm complaining, bid away, people!

I don't think he is going to be worth much' but I don't want sweet to get him and drop jbl he isn't  worth anything to be' I need to replace ken and got 120 to work with.

I can see this going two ways

Santino winning the women's title and holding it a while to continue the angle

Or it basically being the split of he and Beth and Beth facing him and beating him thus ending the Santina thing


I think it would destroy the women's division to have him winning the title

I thought the same went they put the ic title on chyna.  I think us the fans put more respect into the titles then the wwe so I can santina getting it as it would be a great comic relief scene.

all this bidding, means we get another week to look at Santino

So, u never know, I may throw another bid in depending on what happens Monday Night

Just to clear up any confusion, despite being banned Timothy's team will remain, any trades he wants to make he can via D or another mate through e-mail or whatever other means.  ;) : ok:

100k on santiago, santanaa, santinedo, whats his name again?

Everytime you bid you have to state who you are dropping no matter how obvious it is.  : ok:

Bradshaw!....if he does a come back as the APA and wins the tag titles i shall be pissed

Bradshaw on his own as The APA??

Damn!

would i get double points if he won that?

$20,000 on Dolph Ziggler and drop Hurricane.

Looks like my Kozlov prediction from the Wrestling thread is coming true. 8)

Fear the power of random jobber squash matches. :D

20k on shane o drop kennedy.

After mucho bidding, the battle for Santino Marella is over, sweet616 gets him and he has dropped JBL, a bargain at $100,000.  8)

Bring on Next weeks ECW : ok:

The "Final" is on this Thursday's Superstars.  (Already taped)

Really! So does that mean its not as many points. can't remember what we decided

No the points are based on it being 3 matches which it is, and Superstars is the same points as all other shows because its top talent (Undertaker vs Matt Hardy), this just means you get your points sooner.  : ok:

That i like  : ok:

D bidding for DH Smith in 3.....2.....1  8)

whats the lowest amount of points someone has finnished in thsi game?

Carlito and Primo to Raw just in time to lose the straps to Priceless : ok:

I'm intrigued by this Festus switch to Raw. Either a) he'll be like Kozlov and squash a bunch of jobbers, or b) he'll get released within the next 2 weeks.


Either way, I'll bide my time....

DH Smith is my festus

I remember drafting him 3rd around 4 games or so ago.

^How many televised matches has he had in the WWE? It's in the single digits or something isn't it?

So much for me picking people who'll never wrestle.

U are doing well so far Atari

5 months to go though

Aw Shucks...! (http://www.mygnrforum.com/style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)



Thanks D.

that isn't a backhanded compliment. I am just saying, I've seen dudes jump out to huge leads for the entire game only to lose. I remember that one team GNRfan had. He dominated for months and ended up like 3rd or something if I am not mistaken.

with the draft u r going to have a great week with ut and big show delivery huge points.  I just don't see how bs will be fitting in on raw, theres a lot of main eventers. lets see where u are after backlash and what bs is up to as he looks to be the key to you scoring huge.

Yeah its hard to forget really D. I was in the top 2 the entire Game and first for a large portion of it. Then Santino lost his IC title and Booker T created a Legends title and that was all she wrote. In fairness my scoring didn't drop off too much it was just others started scoring more

Current Bids:

$20,000 on Dolph Ziggler and drop Hurricane. (23 Hours left est.)
$20,000 on Shane Mcmahon and drop Mr. Kennedy. (26 Hours left est.)

Big Show is very underated in WWE Game's he has the odd rocky one but D can attest to how great he can be, he racks up the points in Battle Royals and considering his size and injuries wrestles on a fairly regular basis.  If Undertaker was taking time off they wouldn't have brought him back this week and I would say Sting is guaranteed a title defence this weekend.  Khali is on squash duty and he can always be dropped for someone better and I'm sure Umaga will be back in good time, this is one of those teams that on paper may not strike you but the potential is definately there and as we always say, especially in this, the long game, debuts are massive.

I think the supplemental draft can swerve a lot of people, just because someone has been traded from one show to another it DOES NOT mean they are going to show up in the near future, half the time its just done for the sake of it.  Plenty last year were released a week or two after the draft (Murdoch comes to mind) and DH Smith was a Smackdown guy for a whole 12 months and did nothing!

Take Kennedy who will soon be available, just because they had him switched shows, it doesn't mean he is good to go, could still be 2 months off returning but they just decided when he does return they want him on RAW, someone could win him and be stuck with him doing nothing, I warned of it at the start of the game and I'll continue to do so, don't pick him, he is cursed!  :D

Last i read, Kennedy still hasn't been cleared

why is everyone talking about my kennedy so much. I don't like that at all.  how about I just bid 25k on shane o mac and drop kelley then.

If we let people outbid themselves then people could spend the whole game bidding for someone, increasing it by $1,000 every 47 hours, if you don't want to lose Kennedy someone other than yourself needs to outbid you.

I'll be honest, I am not a huge fan of this new drop/add rule

I think it should be like always, u got 7 days, if u don't pick the wrestler up, your 5th pick is automatically dropped.

Doesnt seem fair that if I bid and while in the process, R Truth won the IC title, I still would have to drop him when I have someone else I could drop.

Stops bidding and dropping from being dragged out, and forces you to think before you bid, some might say bidding the day of the supplemental draft before it happened wasn't the smartest of moves, heck I made that error thinking Ziggler would be feuding with MVP and now he's on Smackdown, and things look brighter for Hurricane now he's on ECW.  Like it was said before the 7 day thing was only ever brought in because people were dragging it out forever, it was always intended you win someone, he is yours, this way its a guaranteed instant switch.

Yeah but there could be a better way.

most of the great rules of this game have started with one idea and then it has sort of been added on to make it perfect.

for instance.

I see your point and it is a good one

However, I think u should have the option of changing who u want to drop. I mean why not? as long as u have someone to drop, what does it matter if u switch? the rule stays in play, the add/drop remains instant and nothing is drug out.

Here's a scenario, I bid for DH Smith and say I'm going to drop Carlito so everyone thinks, wowza, we won't bid on DH Smith we'll wait and snap up Carlito, then at the 47th hour, when nobody is online I post actually I'll be dropping Hurricane.  It could easily be abused as a tactic, nine times out of ten as it stands now its not an issue, I mean R-Truth, IC Title  :hihi: Considering it only takes 48 hours to win someone, what can happen in 48 hours?  Like I said making a bid on the day of the supplemental draft could quite easily be seen as just being a poor tactic/move, like I said I did the same thing, see how it plays out this game though and before the next game we can see how people feel about it.

Got ya

that is fair enough. I see now what u are saying about using a bigger wrestler so people wouldn't outbid.

I prefer the rule as it is now to be honest, it is more fair and less stalled.

you bid on dolph because you read spoilers. fuck it when it comes to not being allowed to bid up. any auction in the world would allow you bid up and spend more money.  I don't see how I could drag something out the whole game suuuure if I wanted to keep bidding 1000 a time but if it was a great talent someone would outbid me.  you and your european rules,  if this game was ran on american rules we would allow all the dirty bidding you could handle.  hell if no one wants to outbid me fine..... I hope kennedy scores huge for your team.

So when can I bid On kennedy?  :hihi: :smoking:

Now.

I guess the rule benefits everyone accept me right now. so ftw lets go and bid 20 k on kennedy drop kelly.

I think u may help yourself dumping kennedy

He is still at least a month out and they think his shoulder could be career ending

Quiet you.  :P

atari if the ut is on a fair well tour your team has got to be trhe luckiest in this game.

Bloody AJ Styles. Defend your title. Or at least wrestle!

Bloody TNA.

Well thats depressing. It pretty much means whatever happens i'm sliding down the list. I would say i'd like D to win so i stay as close to Faraday as possible, but the thought of D winning this game makes me feel sick. So i guess i'm hoping for 3D to win but that means Hammy and Faraday go miles ahead.

When Sting wins Atari will be having a rye smile if 3D win too looking down on Cowbell and D

Aye thats the best possible scenario  8)

I am very worried about Lockdown

I don't know if u can count Beer Money beating down Runt and balls as 3D going in on their back though, so I think it is up in the air.

My guess is, it is no longer a cage match, so 3D can lose and save face due to interference from Jackie or something.

I would guess we will see a Hulk Hogan bash at the beach scenario

3d beat the ever loving shit out of Beer money getting most of the offense, but BM pulls out a cheap victory.

Well, Beer Money did retain the belts in a BS fashion last month, plus it's in Philly.

Jackie is gone like Kip James is, no longer on air talent.

I was thinking Taz might interfere as a heel for Beer Money, I don't know my ECW History, was Taz an ally or enemy of 3D?  And if you have to edge it 3D went in on their backs by default since Beer Money go in stronger, who knows, normal logic doesn't always apply.

That would make a decent new tag line!

"TNA: Where Logic doesn't apply."

Yeah but just because it is philly, I don't think that means much. As long as 3D beat the everloving fuck out of BM and Make them bleed, that saves face as long as 3D get a cheap loss.

By that Philly Rationale, Mick Foley should win the World Title from Sting and we know that ain't happening.


BM have had those titles a long fucking time though.


The reason I am not too worried is, if they do the title switch, I can still see BM getting the titles back very soon, possibly at the next PPV.

MCMG winning the Junior tag titles, gives me more confidence cause it seems they have a talent exchange going on, so maybe this would be the ultimate rub for BM giving them those prestigious Japan titles.

But how much would they fuck over Philly?

Both ECW Legends losing?  We've already said its a given Foley loses.  ;)

I just dont think wrestling books based on hometown

maybe house shows


but even if they do give them the hometown win, i expect BM to win them back on Impact or at the next PPV

I think thats a likely scenario to be honest. The thing with TNA they woudln't mind changing the titles on Impact.

I think Beer Money are excellent but i also think that TNA might have at least another tag team that wins the title aside from BM and 3D within this game.

So when I lose to "D", how long I'm going to keep the avatar for?

Tonight is going to be HUGE


If Beer Money win, with Backlash around the corner and I am guaranteed big Backlash pts with a Cena defense and Dibiase wrestling, I can be in great shape.


If BM lose though................... I am going to be struggling for a while.

Come on "D" answer?

Unless of course you're starting to have doubts. 

AV bets are for one full month


U are the least of my concerns dude.

this is a five month game.

U get no prize for leading after 3 weeks.

Speak for yourself, I'm eyeing up that leader league Hammy posted.  :yes:

Good luck catching me on that. I was WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ahead

I figured it up and if BM win tonight, I'll be in first place by 1 pt over atari.

If they lose, I still ain't panicking because this is just a long game and I do like my team this time. Dibiase looks primed for tag gold or something, Cena will get his usual big points and Henry via that battle royal has already got a 4th of the points I expected on 1 show.  R Truth may have to go, we will see how much he wrestles.

could i get the lowest scoring game in history here?

WWE Game III Final Standings
1. D - 967
2. Stoned - 853
3. Rob - 778
4. Mallrat - 643
5. Malcolm - 614
6. Axl_Rose_700 - 599
7. Timothy - 586
8. Evolution - 543
9. Jim - 540
10. Fieldsy - 462
11. Makane - 22

So the answer would be no.  Makane will never have his record beaten  ;)

Makane: Lilian Garcia, Michael Cole, Todd Grisham, Maria, Joey Styles, Steve Romero

 :rofl:

I really wish I signed up a few months earlier to see this.

Few months?  That classic is 3 years old.  8)

When I originally registered, it was a month after that game finished.

Sorry my mistake, I thought you were referring to signing up to this game.

And while I'm here, me and Faraday just want to say to D, "Sorry 'bout your damn luck muhahahaha!"

hahaha

Guaranteed a defence...?  :P

BM losing didn't surprise me

sting losing? HOLY SHIT. didn't see that coming

Team 3D are scheduled to make a "Huge" Announcement on Impact....I fear retirement  :nervous:  Either that or I'm taking tips on WWE Game Paranoia from D  :hihi:

And to say I fear retirement, heck before this game I would be embracing the end of the past their best fat boys.

This is nearly as crazy as the time BlowUpYourVideo wanted Sylvester Terkay to Main Event Wrestlemania.

Nearly though...not quite  :P

Oh and when BlowUpYourVideo knows nothing about TNA, which moron suggested he pick Kong? I swear it wasn't me  8)

just got off through twittering with jim cornette. U guys are dunzo!

id like to bid 20k on foley and drop kofi.





justing f'n kidding I know I can't do that but how does that make u feel atari seeing sting jobbed out like the brooklyn brawler. no wonder foley defected to tna they promised him a world championship and the wwe only has 3 world champs and no room for mik.  I almost and I feel almost as bad about seeing that match as david artquette becoming wcw champion. u know for a split second I thought your team was looking goo. my mistake.  SUCKER....

I hope TNA has rematch clauses, going by the match descriptions I would assume Foley wouldn't be holding it for long.

PW Torch gave the Kevin Nash vs. Triple H series higher match ratings.

Woop-de-frakking doo, 2 points.

All I knew was that she was a champion and that TNA has title defenses on TV more than the WWE. I can't really complain much because I can't drop her.


And whatever happened to Sylvester Turkay??

He is Suicide :hihi: :hihi:

We can all hope! But i think it'll be more likely that this will be their last run. and when they lose the belts they'll be retired.

Or they are going to go after the IWGP jnr. straps to  :D

Dream On, Greedy!

I honestly do remember reading reports of Bubba being near retirement

so i say they retire as the champs


tourney on Impact

Beer Money wins the tourney plus how many extra pts for winning a tourney? Like 25 or something?

I am just glad they decided to let Foley take the reigns and lead the company. He's a proven WWF/WWE champion and will do great with that title. I am really glad that Sting jobbed himself out.  I am glad he is doing what is best for the TNA and whats best for Us in this game as NO ONE wanted to see Sting hold onto that title.  Now with the way things went down I think Booker T should be fueding for and winning back the legends title AJ is no LEGEND, BOOKER WCW / WWE WORLD CHAMPION thats a legend and they should put the strap on him and have him defend it weeeeekly, and twice on sundays.

This is one feud that definitely won't result in a Tag Team...  :hihi:

shit, be careful what u say. Hammy has a twisted personality

Edit:  Originally gave Cena the DQ win (cos we ignore wwe.com) but I was going off what I had read.  Watching RAW now, Edge runs down and knocks both Cena and Jericho down when they are on the top rope and the referee calls for the bell

yeah I wouldn't want to team up with a neidhart like yourself. 
you don't talk like that to a former world champion SUCKER. 

I need a Christian ECW title win and AJ Styles to defend his bloody belt ::)

Well since Christian lost his last title match with Swagger I think he might win this weekend.

And announced for Impact, TNA Legends Title Match: AJ Styles vs Kevin Nash.

We all know Kevin Nash is a legend though  8)

we surelly don't want shelley to retain or nash to win because if nash wins booker won't be seeing that title this game.  double Dq please.

Jeff Hardy is possibly leaving the Company!

Has 3 months left and hasn't signed an extension????

maybe he is the 2nd world champion TNA have been talking about...........

All things considered, my predictions minus being very wrong on Atari so far have been somewhat accurate.


I am 8th and I even stated if BM lose Id be 5-8.

I'm quite happy with my team at the moment. I'm 5th and considering AJ has done nothing with his title and Maria has got 0 points. Its going ok.

I thought it would be a lot worse. : ok:

I don't know how great a first pick Edge was, considering I had everyone but Orton to pick from. He's not wrestling every week and he's not winning the title this Sunday either. Hell, the Last Man Standing Match could be used as a reason for him missing the next few months (if the rumours are true...).

Kozlov on the other hand....  8)

I think it actually be pretty cool if "SmackDown!" didn't have a Champion, but I doubt it's going to happen.

I was thinking Edge this Sunday, then he drops the Title to Punk at "Judgement Day".

Haven't seen the rumours about him being out for months yet.

Its amazing how the draft can change things. From my point of view i like Koslov on ECW as i think he'll be champion eventully in this game. But i think it'll make more sense him taking it from a face.... i.e. Christian or Finlay : ok:

Pissing DQ's :rant:

Beer money wins the tourney at Sacrifice at that would be what? 50 pts? 25 for winning a tourney 5 for number 1 contender and 20 for PPV


then take the titles at the next PPV and get me another 50


I still believe

Cena defends Sunday "Way he is going in on his back, no way he is losing"

Dibiase wins Sunday and eventually tag titles

I got a shot

As much as I could do with Edge winning the title this Sunday - and despite the fact that he seems to rack up title reigns like nobody's business - I don't see it happening. Where he'll go from there, I'm not sure....


Hopefully Kozlov doesn't get injured or something and keeps getting me a steady 12 points every week... *fingers crossed*

I think he'll do more than that and win the ECW Strap  :yes:

"Taker vs. Show" on Sunday, come on...  :P

...Or even better, get Show in a Intercontinental Title quest  :D.
