YOU GIVE ME SUPER CENA'S TEAM OFF THE BAT!?

....well fuck.

FEAR MY SEXY TEAM!

Meh, I have Randall Cena-Kryptonite Orton on my team.

Not worried.

Well, if it helps...

Cena has a WWE title match tonight. So yeah, good luck with that.

Anyway, I've got Gray to start things off.

This is either going to be VERY good or VERY bad.

Free Agency thread updated.

Also Jack and Abel are in danger of being DQ'ed from week 1! Hurry up guys!

Yeah, alright, give me a chance you pillock, I've been asleep most of the day.

Scores after RAW:

Celt +4 (Jericho +4)
Romeo -4 (Sheamus -4)

PX +10 (HHH +10)
Jack -2 (Kelly Kelly -2)

Gray +18 (Hornswoggle +1, Kofi +17)
RCA +1 (Jillian +1)

Abel +2 (Cody -7, Ted -2, HBK +11)
Doublemummy 0 (Bourne -8, Mark Henry +8 )

Ares +2 (Orton +3, Miz -2, MVP +1)
Kelson 0 (Cena +3, Maryse -3)

Kofi Kingston was the major earner of the night for team Gray, Winning two matches on the night, leaving RCA in the dust. He is RAW's MVP, and likely to be for the week as well
Jericho was popping up all over RAW, earning Celt a marginal lead over Romeo, who's fallen into negative points with a loss for Sheamus. Jericho is likely to show up again on Smackdown! making him another valuable player this week.
Team PX picked up an early lead with a win and segments from an ever reliable HHH, while team Jack fell into negative equity with a loss for Kelly Kelly
Abel and Doublemummy both had rollercoaster nights, with both their temperature picks letting them down. HBK rescued team Abel, leaving him in positive numbers despite a pair of wins for the legacy. For Dublemummy she remains on zero with Henry and Bourne cancelling each other out.
Team better than you holds a lead over team sexy despite two losses in one night for the Miz, with frequent Orton segments keeping his head above water. A DQ win for Cena wasn't enough to get team Sexy going as picking Maryse to job backfired and cancelled out Cena's efforts.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Wait, we can name our teams now?

We were always allowed to name our teams.

Damn Legacy....... how did I end up with both those pricks?

Does anyone know if the scheduled matches for the next episode of Smackdown/Raw/ECW are published anywhere? I realise a bunch of mtahces are "made on the night" but some idea of what is coming up would be handy. Or at least a list of which superstars will be appearing on each show?

Nope, the best thing to do is track rumors on a wrestling news site and study momentum and previous broadcasts to at least try to predict what might happen.

Scores after ECW:


Celt +1 (Jericho +4, Matt Hardy -3 )
Romeo -4 (Sheamus -4)

PX +18 (HHH +10, Mike Knox +8 )
Jack 0 (Kelly Kelly -2, Christian +2)

Gray +18 (Hornswoggle +1, Kofi +17)
RCA +2 (Jillian +1, Yoshi +1)

Abel 0 (Cody -7, Ted -2, HBK +11, Finlay -2)
Doublemummy +8 (Bourne 0, Mark Henry +8 )

Ares +3 (Orton +3, Miz -2, MVP +1, Vlad +1)
Kelson +1 (Cena +3, Maryse -3, barretta +1)

A lot of regulars were missing from ECW last night, meaning there was little moving in the scores for the teams. The only two big earners of the night were Evan Bourne and Mike Knox, who earned their teams (PX and Doublemummy) 8 points each after Bourner pinned Knox. Team Abel lost its lead as a result, and Team PX extended its lead significantly. For Teams RCA and Jack, their weeks look over, while Ro/Celt and Ares/Kelson are still anybodys game.

This has never been stated, but what happens if there's a tie in a match? It usually doesn't happen in the WWE, but tomorrow there will be a Beat the Clock Challenge on Smackdown and I'm wondering what score would a superstar get if there's no winner in his match?

The participating superstars will get a point each, since neither won nor lost, but made an appearance.

Thus Hot/Cold Superstar bonuses don't apply?

No they don't, and I get the feeling you've read the spoilers and you're trying to work out if you won this week

Eh. I'm fucked.

Double post: Scratch my "I'm fucked", I forgot to check on the WWE Superstar spoilers...

Scores after Superstars:

Celt -4 (Jericho +4, Matt Hardy -3, Vance -5 )
Romeo -2 (Sheamus -4, Shelton +2)

PX +26 (HHH +10, Mike Knox +16 )
Jack -11 (Kelly Kelly -2, Christian +2, Jack -8, Carlito -3 )

Gray +18 (Hornswoggle +1, Kofi +17)
RCA +3 (Jillian +1, Yoshi +1, Mickie +1)

Abel 0 (Cody -7, Ted -2, HBK +11, Finlay -2)
Doublemummy +9 (Bourne 0, Mark Henry +8, Rosa +1 )

Ares -5 (Orton +3, Miz -2, MVP +1, Vlad +1, Melina -8 )
Kelson +1 (Cena +3, Maryse -3, barretta +1)

The Losses proved far more important than the wins last night on Superstars. for team Eastwood, whose jobber and Cold teamed up to defeat MVP and Masters, leaving Eastwood deep in the negatives, while team PX pulled further away with another loss for Mike Knox, who has become a main player this week.
In two other matches leads were lost because of their own teams, with Team Celt losing its lead via a loss for Hot man Vance Archer to Romeo's Shelton Benjiman. Team Ares also threw away its lead with a win for Diva's champion Melina, leaving it all to play for on Smackdown! tonight

You know, someone savvy in the game should write a real in-depth fantasy analysis after every week.

Damn! Who would've thought that big ol' Mark Henry would be my main guy this week? lol

Scores after Smackdown! and End of Week Results:

Celt +2 (Jericho +3, Matt Hardy +2, Vance -5, Vickie +1, Batista +1 )
Romeo -1 (Sheamus -4, Shelton +2, R-Truth +1)

PX +33 (HHH +10, Mike Knox +16, Gallows +3, Morrison -1, Rey +5 )
Jack -11 (Kelly Kelly -2, Christian +2, Jack -8, Carlito -3 )

Gray +18 (Hornswoggle +1, Kofi +17,)
RCA +3 (Jillian +1, Yoshi +1, Mickie -6, Punk +6, Drew +1,)

Abel 0 (Cody -7, Ted -2, HBK +11, Finlay -2)
Doublemummy +9 (Bourne 0, Mark Henry +8, Rosa +1 )

Ares -5 (Orton +3, Miz -2, MVP +1, Vlad +1, Melina -8 )
Kelson +3 (Cena +3, Maryse -3, barretta +1, Dolph +2)

And That brings Week 1 to a close! Last night's Smackdown! contained a beat the clock challenge, meaning points were going to be limited for some as there were two draws.
In the first Match Team Celt pulled out the win thanks to Matt Hardy redeeming himself by losing last night, scraping past Romeo's side that lost out because of a loss for Sheamus. Twice this week we saw a superstar on Celt's team face up against a superstar on Ro's team, with Celt's Vance Archer losing to Ro's Shelton, and Celt's Batista timing out against Ro's R-truth. Still, with both HOT stars losing this week, it was Celt's team that bailed him out, while Romeo's failed to the same for him.
the Second Match saw team Eastwood absolutely wiped out by Team PX, who racked up a huge total of 33 points, getting his calls spot on and highest score of the week, while Eastwood got his predictions all wrong leaving him with the lowest score of the week, -11.
Match Three proved an upset of sorts as team Gray picked up an unlikely win with two wins for Kofi Kingston, the only person on the team to wrestle this week, while RCA lost out to some wrong predictions costing him the week. Most notably Mickie's win.
Match Four was another for miscalls as Abel's legacy members both went against his wishes, allowing a Mark Henry loss determine the result for the week. The gap could have been bigger, as the Hart Dynasty had won a match on the tapings that wasn't aired last night.
in Match Five Team Better than you undid itself with an unorthodox call to guess the Diva's champion would loss this week, which proved to cost him the week, leaving Cena-led Team Sexy to pick up the win without exerting itself, with only one-DQ win to show for the week.

Your SUPERSTAR OF THE WEEK award goes to Kofi Kingston, winning two matches on RAW saw him single-handedly win the week for Team Gray, and a segment as well. Mike Knox was the runner up for his jobbing duties this week helping Team PX to an easy win.
Your SEGMENT MACHINE this week was Chris Jericho who pulled in 5 segments this week, four of which on RAW trying to petition his way back to RAW. the points proved valuable and led Celt to his win this week.

Current Standings:

1. Team PX (1-0-0) +44
2. Team Gray (1-0-0) +15
3. Team Doublemummy (1-0-0) +9
4. Team Sexy (1-0-0) +8
5. Team Celt (1-0-0) +3
6. Team Romeo (0-0-1) -3
7. Team Better Than you (0-0-1) -8
8. Team Abel (0-0-1) -9
9. Team RCA (0-0-1) -15
10. Team Eastwood (0-0-1) -44

GameWeek 2 Fixtures:

Gray vs Romeo
Celt vs Kelson
PX vs Doublemummy
Eastwood vs Ares
RCA vs Abel

Everybody owes me their team for the week by the time RAW starts, which would be 03:00 GMT on tuesday for me, 23:00 on Monday on the boards time I think.

Team "Calling It Blind" is proud to announce we don't give a flying fuck what happens.

It's funny to see how wrong I'll be.

Kelson, where Celt had Vance down twice it was meant to be Big Show jobbing and Vance on the bench. He had them the other way round and went to switch them but made a mistake. I know this because I was there he had to take the computer off me to do it. So I'm giving him the benefit there.

Scores after RAW:

Gray -5 (Kofi -8, Bret +3 )
Romeo +9 (Sheamus +9 )

Celt +4 (Big Show +4, Jericho 0)
Kelson 0

PX +9 (HHH +9)
Doublemummy +0 (Evan -8, Henry +8 )

Eastwood +11 (Carlito +3, Swagger +8 )
Ares (DQ'ed)

RCA (DQ'ed)
Abel +14 (Rhodes +2, DiBiase +2, HBK +10)

Not that it matters to me since I got my roster in but surely if you don't post you should just retain your lineup from last week rather than be DQ'd???

No, that would be pretty unfair for the rest who took the time to post their lineups, even if they were recycling their previous ones.

Edit: Not a bad week so far. Shelton Benjamin FTW

Rules are rules, you have to post a team each week, even if its taking 5 seconds out to hit quote on last weeks team. You've already won this week regardless of score Abel, in case you were wondering.
