FMW Wrestling Fantasy League 2011 DISCUSSION THREAD

It's only big points if they lose a TITLE. Not a title match.

May I enquire as to why Cena in HOT winning a Title Match is only worth 4 points? Also, Sleg is right about Kelly and Santino being in a seg w/ "Barack"

You mean I'm right, because I told him about it. >=(

Cena, Kelly and Santino scores fixed.

AJ, title challengers don't get any extra points if they lose the match.

Ouch, wwe.

Major ouch.

Did a prediction contest on Fourdown.org, called every single match right. I don't know if I should be happy with that, or disappointed at the predictablilty of the PPV.

Both.

Can't believe I have to use this defense time and again.

There is no problem with a scripted art form being predictable. Predictability is thrown out the window when the storylines are scripted to progress in a manner consistent with, what, literary archetypes. What matters more is how good the match is.

In fact, more often than not, the company being unpredictable hurt them more than they did being predictable.

ONE POINT.

FUCK YEAH.

SUCK IT JEFF.

Two points after RAW.

And still beating Eddie.

YEAH.

So I guess scores from RAW are MASSIVE with some guys getting 2-3 segments + a match with the Power to the People vote results.

Right?

There's nothing wrong predictibility, I don't mind, I usually enjoy my wrestling, but something going a way I wasn't expecting every once in a while wouldn't hurt

Scores after RAW and NXT:

Butters - 23 (+8 Kelly Kelly, +1 Teddy Long, +2 Michael Cole, +10 John Cena, +2 Nikki Bella)
Romeo - 5 (+1 Kane, +1 Tyson Kidd, -1 Vladimir Kozlov, -6 Kofi Kingston, +10 Wade Barrett)

PX - 17 (-1 Cody Rhodes, +4 Rey Mysterio, +10 Randy Orton, +4 Chavo Guerrero)
Leon - 15 (+1 Jack Swagger, +2 Sin Cara, +2 Evan Bourne, +10 Ezekiel Jackson)

Panzer - 17 (+4 Alex Riley, +6 R-Truth, -2 Darren Young, +9 Christian)
Nick1 - 10 (-2 JTG, +12 Brie Bella)

Nick2 - 7 (+2 Matt Striker, +1 Ted DiBiase, +4 Conor O'Brian)
RCA - -9 (-1 Miz, -2 Big Show, -6 Dolph Ziggler)

Slegna - 5 (0 Titus O'Neil, +4 Daniel Bryan, +1 Santino Marella)
SOS - 13 (+1 Alberto del Rio, +6 CM Punk, 0 Zack Ryder, +5 Yoshi Tatsu, +1 Maryse)

Going to award this week's boneheaded move to Nick Bryson for putting JTG in Hot, which is an absolutely ridiculous play considering that all the profit he's made off of JTG is from him jobbing. There was no precedent for that move whatsoever.

I guess this might get argumentative, but I watched RAW today and they actually had 2 segments for each of the possible choices for the Divas and Bourne match. One to show the possible superstars and one when the result was given. Is that two segments each then for Kelly, Eve, Beth, Ryan, Swagger and Sin Cara?

Also WWE sucks for not giving power to the people. The voting system crashed and it should have been Sin Cara vs Bourne with 90% of the vote and later matches also suffered. Least the match will happen next week.

On facebook WWE announced the match will indeed be next week.

Well they turned him heel and apparently were trying to push him as such so I figured Id go for a gamble and see if he turned in a win, it didnt pay off but I lost 2 points whatever, no big deal

You lost two points, and that puts me 7 points ahead, with my major show still to come. Boo-yah.

Your major show depends on whether Ro counts the main event as one match being restarted or two separate matches.

Hint: You want the former.

No kidding. But even without that, I'll still win.

Yeah, meanwhile I'm guaranteed lost.

Fucking Slater.

Justin Gabriel almost singlehandedly gave me victory last season, and he's my main point scorer this season. What I do with Gabriel, you should do with Slater (#pause)

I know I'm nitpicking a bit, but could you break down the scoring for me on a few of my people?

Kelly and Cena specifically.

I have Cena in HOT and he's won 2 matches, including a title defense.

Kelly's in Superstar, has had 3 segments and won the Divas title.

Thanks in advance.

Knowing the other spoilers, i dont think so =/

My calculations still has it within 3 points with the segment adjustments from RAW.

And I have a sneaky feeling like they might do something special on Superstars with AJ's match and when has Randy just had one match and one segment on Smackdown... Feeling uneasy about it all.

Ah yes, I forgot AJ's match. Maybe then, but i don't know how scores it so it's anyone's game

Very well.

That said, I will introduce a new system next week that will allow for more accountability on my end with regards to the scores.

And about the spoilers... two matches.

Fuck yes.

You lost two points too because he lost in a tag match with your HOT guy as well.

As for SD you can go read the spoilers.



Christian Wins, I dont think I get much else as a cushion.

Oi! Don't discuss spoilers all blatant like that.
