    Odd looking with the white beard, but can still cut a mean promo.

    Haha nice.

    Yeah, Savage does look strange decked out in white but it looks like he might still be on IcoPro (wink wink to anyone that remembers those early 1990 WWF commercials for their weight lifting pills).

    Brian Pillman must be rolling in his grave over the state of wrestling today.

    I gotta say, your obsession with Pillman is...fascinating. Especially since your user namehas to do with Sean Waltman. I assume Pillman is/was your favorite wrestler?

    When are we going to be doing the picks?
     
  13. Samphin

    Samphin Κακό σκυλί ψόφο δεν έχει

    I dunno. We have 40 wrestlers this year and I doubt we get a comprehensive list of participants before the event. We may have to change how we do this. May just have to pick or assign numbers or something.

    Yeah let's just do it that way with getting random numbers. We can come up with a point system like 1 point for an eliminating someone else, -1 for getting eliminated, points for how long guys stay in the match etc. Did they even name all 40 guys yet?

    Pillman was one of the all time greats. When he became the "Loose Cannon" it just went to another level.

    Pillman was way ahead of his time. If he didn't get into that car accident which really ruined his in ring skills he would have been huge during the 'Attitude Era'. Imagine a healthy Pillman and healthy Austin in a feud during the Attitude Era?

    Okay so we have 6 participants and 40 entries. That means two folks will have ONE less wrestler to gain points with. To counter that, I propose we allow those two to earn an extra half point per elimination for their stable of wrestlers. I figure that that should help balance it out.

    So here is the points breakdown, feel free to add or dispute the following:

    1 point for each wrestler your wrestler eliminates (1.5 for the two with less wrestlers)

    -2 points when your wrestler is eliminated

    5 points for the wrestler who stays in the longest

    -5 for the wrestler with the shortest amount of time

    15 points for the winner of the Royal Rumble.

    That should help keep it interesting. And I figure we just rotate numbers.

    1. Samphin (1, 7, 13, 19, 25, 31, 37)
    2. Ray Finkle (2, 8, 14, 20, 26, 32, 38)
    3. TheAnswer (3, 9, 15, 21, 27, 33, 39)
    4. Big E (4, 10, 16, 22, 28, 34, 40)
    5. Unluckyluciano (5, 11, 17, 23, 29, 35)
    6. V.O. (6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36)



    We will have to post the results afterwards to do the math of who won what. Good luck All!

    Sounds good to me, thanks for setting it up Samphin. Should be fun.

    Anyone want to predict who wins the Rumble?

    The obvious money is on either Cena or Punk. I hope Punk wins it, although I can see Barrett pulling it off.

    Not sure if anyone reads Scott Keith (google Scott's Blog of Doom if you want to start), he's a long time internet wrestling writer that has published a bunch of excellent books on wrestling but he thought a cool thing for the Rumble would be if Wade Barrett won the Rumble and said instead of fighting the WWE Champion he wanted a shot at the Undertaker's streak (of course that depends on whether Taker can wrestle). I thought that would be a really cool and different idea and really put that much more weight on the streak angle. Plus it could make the Elimination Chamber matches at the Feb. PPV more important because the 'winners' of those matches would challenge for the titles at WM.
     
  20. Samphin

    Samphin Κακό σκυλί ψόφο δεν έχει

    The netcop is still kicking eh? Scott Keith is a funny guy when he wants to be but the guy is OVERLY critical in my opinion. Some of his old rants were priceless though.

    And Punk probably IS the smart choice. The February PPV really does allow for anyone to win the Rumble and have it reset at that PPV.

    Man I think they ruined Kane's character yrs ago by de-masking him...although I know "Why" they did it.

    Is his character still alive?

    Yeah Scott is still around although not watching the WWE as much as he used (he's big into UFC now and never watches TNA) to due to where he lives in Canada doesn't get RAW live each week or something like that. He still follows it by reading what's going on and usually does rants on PPVs once he gets the free DVDs from the WWE or he goes out to see the PPV live.

    As an alternate to our lil game, or in addition to it, we can also predict our top five performers, who who the final four would be and give points based on the scale we outlined above.

    For example My predictions could be:

    Winner: CM Punk
    Most Eliminations: Sheamus
    Longest Time in Rumble: John Morrison
    Shortest Time in Rumble: Santino
    Final Four: CM Punk, Barrett, Cena, Ziggler

    I don't think he will be in it due to facing Edge that night, he will walk away the new World HW Champion though.

    Shows you how much I have been paying attention to Smackdown. Change him for Alberto Del Rio then.

    I saw the news about Stone Cold. I think that is perfect as he does have some crossover appeal.

    As for Booker T, that would be cool. I was thinking that Chris Jericho would probably show up. With 40 entrants and a few of the bigger names most likely sititng it out (Miz, Orton, Edge, Ziggler, Taker, HHH, Christian), they will need some surprises to help boost this. Although, if true, it really would have been great to have a couple of these guys promoted ahead of time to help PPV buys. I know that ruins the surprise aspect of it a little bit. But how cool would it have been to have one of those Royal Rumble style end of show brawls and see someone randomly come out like Booker T? Or have him interrupt a current wrestlers promo and announce that for something as big as a spot to main event Wrestlemania, that he HAD to come back. Obviously he doesn't win, but it helps stress the importance of the event and should help drive people to buy the PPV in hopes of seeing other surprises.

    I agree that would have been cool to have someone run out at the end of raw just as it was going off or something like that.

    There isn't much better of a start to an entrance than: "Can You Dig It Sukka?!!"

    Edge is the World Champion. I don't think he is in the Rumble, E.

    Since we aren't playing for cash I think the official phins rumble belt will do.

    That means with the confirmation of the two former WWE/WCW/TNA stars that leaves 4 spots open. Wonder who else the WWE has up gotten. My guess is probably Bob Backlund, Honky Tonk Man, Jerry Lawler and Triple H.

    Yeah I agree for the most part, but once again and awhile they're able to pull off something sweet without people knowing ahead of time. Spoilers do hurt the business, but also helped too during the Monday Night Wars. It's a double edged sword.
