FMW Fantasy Wrestling League 2010 DISCUSSION THREAD

Don't be using my full name all willy-nilly like that.

I'm glad to be in but I don't have AIM!! That makes me a sad Panda....I will work something out though

I'm thinking of having a super-secret forum/thread set up just for the draft.

I'm in, and here to win it!!!

For those who won't be online for the draft, you must PM me a cheat sheet where you will rank 50 superstars. Your rankings will determine your automated draft pick.

Don't be daunted by the task, pretty soon your 50 will be full before you know it.

Deadline is at the beginning of Hell in a Cell.

When is this draft?

The same time as Hell in a Cell.

That seems to be too late for you so you may want to cheatsheet it up.

I'll aim to be there, but ill make the cheat sheet as backup

My Sheet has been PM'd

I'm out. Ed if you see this before Hell in a Cell you can have my spot.

So, with the Countdown to Hell almost complete, where is the draft?

I'm here give me a few minutes (about 30). I'll be on aim then.

For those who don't have a cheat sheet yet, the time is ticking. The draft will be done here in the forum, btw. Keep your eyes open.

No cheap sheet. But I'm on.

The lineup and roster thread will go up later.

Holy crap, when did we.... never mind. I guess I'm out then.

Edit: Oh wait never mind. I guess I have a team after all. Thanks to whoever got me my guys.

You better win with my team, bitch.

I'm sensing that you picked the team. If that's the case, then I love you forever for getting Kane.

The Devil's Favorite Demon will lead me to victory.

Well until the inevitable victory of the Undertaker projects him back to the top. WWE listens to their fans, thats why Orton got pushed and why all the hype is to get Kane up, but the deadman will rise.

Sweet, I got a pretty good deal! Looks like having a cheat sheet helped

And boys, you two may have the "Brothers Of Destruction", but I got the guy who started it all ... "The Father Of Destruction"

Fuck y'all, I got the dark horse team. If Zeke returns from injury soon as suspected, and if that was Husky Harris who attacked John Cena last night, my team will be looking good, I think.

ATTENTION WFL PLAYERS:

I'm willing trade anyone for a good jobber, Hart Dynasty, Chavo and Darren Young are on the block if anyone fancies

Scores after RAW:

Romeo - 11 (+4 William Regal, +7 Wade Barrett)
AVO - 0 (+2 Edge, +2 Michael Cole, -4 Sheamus)

Leon - 4 (-1 John Morrison, +4 Ted DiBiase, +1 Goldust)

Drew - DQed
SOS - 5 (+1 Husky Harris, +3 Zack Ryder, +1 Melina)

Panzer - DQed
Butters - 3 (0 John Cena, -1 Michelle McCool, +4 R-Truth)

DM - 2 (+2 Natalya)
RCA - 2 (0 Miz, +2 Primo)

Interesting night. John Cena was polarizing for Butters; he lost twice, but appeared in four segments to even out the demerits. Expect that kind of mileage from him for now; his booking is a little unpredictable now that he is in Nexus, but the most likely scenario is that he's going to keep throwing Nexus matches a lot, whether intentionally or on Barrett's orders, so it might be worth it to keep him on Jobber at the very least to be wary.

Randy Orton proved to be somewhat of a letdown as he only appeared at the end of the show, but I don't expect that to happen next week now that we have Barrett vs. Orton set for Bragging Rights. They'll definitely interact more in the future.

Sheamus has also began a technical losing streak. We don't know what storyline he'll be embarking on from here, so position him cautiously, AVO.

Edge, on the other hand, has been officially traded to SmackDown, so expect him to get more points on later this week. However, I assume that he will still show up on RAW given this new feud with the Miz that will apparently build up to Bragging Rights. Edge may be a scoring monster this month.

The Miz, on the other hand, was a little low-key this evening, getting his ass whooped by Mr. Copeland, not winning the Battle Royal. But like I said, he may show up on SmackDown later this week, so there may be hope for Eddie getting more points out of him.

Wade Barrett has just been named the #1 contender, and to be honest I don't know what to expect from his booking. However, he is another score monster, appearing in a total of three segments tonight, coupled with his victory in the battle royal. This will only continue now that he will be made one of RAW's focal points after being named #1 contender. We don't know if he'll be winning from then til Bragging Rights, but we do know we will see a lot of him.

Minor scorers include Ted DiBiase, Zack Ryder, R-Truth, and William Regal. DiBiase appeared in more than one segment, and along with the rest helped their respective teams out in varying degrees by losing the battle royal.

Fret not, for NXT is coming up and that is sure to guarantee points for most people, and competition winners will get extra points (losers won't get subtracted, don't worry).

Wow I'm bad at timing.

Iz mine nao?

That would be Panzer's decision.

NXT scores coming in a while.

Scores after NXT:

Romeo - 14 (+4 William Regal, +7 Wade Barrett, +3 A.J.)
AVO - 0 (+2 Edge, +2 Michael Cole, -4 Sheamus)

PX - 3 (+1 Randy Orton, +2 Darren Young)
Leon - 10 (-1 John Morrison, +4 Ted DiBiase, +7 Goldust)

Drew - DQed
SOS - 5 (+1 Husky Harris, +3 Zack Ryder, +1 Melina)

Panzer - DQed
Butters - 9 (0 John Cena, -1 Michelle McCool, +4 R-Truth, +6 Vickie Guerrero)

DM - 2 (+2 Natalya)
RCA - 11 (0 Miz, +7 Primo, +1 Dolph Ziggler, +3 Naomi)

Another interesting night. NXT has proven very early on that all its girls AND the pros are good scorers for any fantasy lineup, one way or another. Expect all the NXT pros to be hot commodities, so GRAB THEM WHILE YOU CAN.

Theoretically, the biggest rookie scorer for tonight's NXT is Aksana, but Leon wasted that chance by benching her. Under a normal Superstar slot she would've given Leon 7 huge points, for winning her match (+2) vs. Maxine, winning a competition (+2), and appearing in all other segments plus an extra segment with Goldust (+3).

The second highest rookie scorer is Kaitlyn, who sadly currently sits in Free Agency (hint, hint). She won her match against Vickie Guerrero (+2), a competition (+2), and appearing in all other segments (+2). That was a good 6 points.

A.J. and Naomi, the only rookie Divas that were started (the others are in the DQed teams), earned +3 for appearing in segments, proving the viability of the NXT Divas.

Anyone who started a pro got huge dividends just via segment points. Ed paid out huge with an additional 5 points via Primo on top of his 2 points from RAW. Leon, while not starting Aksana, also scored huge with Goldust, who earned 6 extra points on top his point from RAW. Vickie Guerrero also gave Butters a good point lead with 6 points.

Jamie Keyes has been eliminated tonight, so Panzer should be dropping her.

Scores after Superstars:

Romeo - 12 (+2 William Regal, +7 Wade Barrett, +3 A.J.)
AVO - 0 (+2 Edge, +2 Michael Cole, -4 Sheamus)

PX - 5 (+1 Randy Orton, +4 Darren Young)
Leon - 10 (-1 John Morrison, +4 Ted DiBiase, +7 Goldust)

Drew - DQed
SOS - 5 (+1 Husky Harris, +3 Zack Ryder, +1 Melina)

Panzer - DQed
Butters - 9 (0 John Cena, -1 Michelle McCool, +4 R-Truth, +6 Vickie Guerrero)

DM - 1 (+2 Natalya, -1 Jimmy Uso)
RCA - 11 (0 Miz, +7 Primo, +1 Dolph Ziggler, +3 Naomi)

Not much going here. William Regal won to shave off a couple of points from his weekly total, while on the other hand, PX got a little more mileage from Darren Young. He also could've got some jobber/cold miles from either member of the Hart Dynasty sitting on his bench.

With the Harts breaking up and Curt Hawkins and Vance Archer eliminated from the tag title picture, the Usos may look to get some extra time, and perhaps some extra wins. I predict that if not KoolAir, the Samoans will be the next contenders against the Dashing Ones.

Final scores this week:

Romeo - 15 (+2 William Regal, +7 Wade Barrett, +3 A.J., +2 Kofi Kingston, +1 Big Show)
AVO - 3 (+5 Edge, +2 Michael Cole, -4 Sheamus, -1 Drew McIntyre, +1 Josh Mathews)

PX - 11 (+1 Randy Orton, +4 Darren Young, +2 Rey Mysterio, +4 MVP)
Leon - 9 (-1 John Morrison, +4 Ted DiBiase, +7 Goldust, -1 Jack Swagger)

Drew - DQed
SOS - 5 (+1 Husky Harris, +3 Zack Ryder, +1 Melina, 0 Alberto del Rio)

Panzer - DQed
Butters - 11 (0 John Cena, 0 Michelle McCool, +4 R-Truth, +7 Vickie Guerrero)

DM - 1 (+3 Natalya, -1 Jimmy Uso, -1 Kaval, -1 Cody Rhodes, +1 Paul Bearer)
RCA - 17 (0 Miz, +7 Primo, +7 Dolph Ziggler, +3 Naomi)

Those are your scores after Smackdown. We've got a couple of unlucky people, so let's run it down.

Let's begin alphabetically; Alberto Del Rio was all over the place, but video replays don't really count, so he only truly had two television appearances, the backstage segment and the match. Unfortunately, he had to lose to Rey Mysterio (whom I think is sitting on Drew's bench) to continue their feud. Don't worry, SOS, he'll get you points sooner or later.

Edge dominates again, but he would've gotten more points if he were in AVO's Hot position instead of Sheamus. However, I expect Edge to remain on Smackdown next week, unless they continue to cross over to promote Bragging Rights. Jack Swagger looks to be in the middle of a losing streak, so position him accordingly, Leon. (The Swagger Soaring Eagle, on the other hand, is officially in Free Agency. However, I wouldn't grab him yet especially when there are still NXT people for the taking.)

Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes - the Dashing Ones - look to be gaining momentum with every match they have. As tag champs they're most likely going to be all over the place, and if tonight's show is any indication, then it seems like they will rarely lose. On the other hand, Kaval and Kofi Kingston seem to be winding down. I wouldn't expect Kaval to be winning yet.

LayCool has been on fire this week, but as heels it's hard to tell when they're going to win or lose via DQ.

Dolph Ziggler earns RCA a cool 6 points for winning a title defense in the Hot position. Vickie Guerrero and Kaitlyn are involved again. The latter is still the hottest (literally) Free Agent right now, but Panzer has already made a claim for her - if no one challenges that by Monday, then he will get Kaitlyn.

Kane was low-key tonight, only showing up to cut one promo. Paul Bearer was good for an extra point, but it's a shame that Undertaker did not show up at all.

Rankings:

1. RCA (1-0-0) 17
2. Romeo (1-0-0) 15
3. PX (1-0-0) 11
4. Butters (1-0-0) 11
5. SOS (1-0-0) 5
6. Leon (0-1-0) 9
7. AVO (0-1-0) 3
8. DM (0-1-0) 1
9. Drew (0-1-0) 0
10. Panzer* (0-1-0)

Lineups are, again, due before RAW.

* Panzer, Nick 2 still has a claim for your team, but you don't seem to be no-showing this on purpose. I rule that if you no-show two more times, then I'm giving your team to Nick.

I'm assuming that Nick2 is Gray? If so then we already have an agreement. If I don't get my line-up in three hours before the deadline, then he can take that as me officially handing over the team.
