I feel pretty good about that Roadblock score, considering I haven't seen Raw in a month

Same but I think it's been two or three months for me :hfive:

Apparently the easiest way to predict RAW is to never watch it

Is it handsome in here, or is it just me?


I forgot to submit picks for ROADBLOCKING and now I'm sad.

I joined halfway through the year, so I didn't do terribly all things considered.

Does the score reset at any point? Like after Wrestlemania or for the new year?

I got bored and decided to come up with the mock Rumble form, tell me if this is cool or stinks. Rough estimate from me is if you are a wizard and magically get everything right and some crazy stuff happens with a winner you can get like 90 points but yes theoretically as much as 200 or 250 if it turns out WWE is good and you are also a wizard:

#1 (3 pts)
#2 (3 pts)
#3 (3 pts)
#30 (3 pts)
Most elims (3 pts)
How many for most elims (3 pts; closest without going over)
Iron Man (3 pts)
Iron man time (3 pts; closest without going over)
Winner's number (7 pts 1-10, 10 pts 11-20, 5 pts 21-30)
Guess the final four (1 5 pts, 2 10 pts, 3 20 pts, 4 40 pts)

Winner:
Confirmed entrant (10 pts)
Non-confirmed, active male WWE Superstar (20 pts)
NXT Superstar (30 pts)
Inactive male WWE Superstar (e.g. The Rock, Austin) (40 pts)
Non-wrestling [In last 12 months, looking at you shane-o-mac and HHH] WWE Staff or Female Superstar (60 pts)
Non-WWE employee (No legacy contracts, e.g. if Kenny Omega or Kurt Angle showed up and won. I know this is tricky so if you want you can PM me or post in the thread and I'll tell you where they'd qualify) (100 pts)
Scott Steiner (150 pts)

Also all of these are open ended and I think I'll make the other matches total up to about 50-60 pts

It's good, though I'd maybe go 5-10-15-20 for final four. (or 5-10-15-30 if you really want to give a perfect final four a bonus)

I think I'll change the distribution to something closer to the latter and then boost the points for iron man and most eliminations counts since very few people will get that one in the end

If Scott Steiner wins the Rumble everyone gets 10,000x and humanity enters a new stage of enlightenment

I didn't know how badly I wanted Scott Steiner to win until now.

Please ignore my posts in the general thread about how they should use the rumble to push a young star.

I think asking for #1 is kind of pointless since there's like a 100% chance it'll be punishment for James Ellsworth or Roman Reigns or someone.

if Scott Steiner wins we split off into the Gamma Timeline and we have to predict the rumble for Earth-2, Hollowworld and Nega-Earth as well

Nobody move and nobody gets hurt.

How are you determining closest for the iron man time? Is only one person going to get points for that question? I'd suggest making it so you get points if you're within a 3-minute or so range.

yeah none of this is locked in but also free spaces every once in a while don't hurt. no one wants a zero and that would have happened with this year without some of them.

By minute intervals, closest without going over (price is right style). there will probably be pretty few winners so I'm thinking I might just make it a pool of ~20 points that gets split among the winners evenly or something who knows.

the only problem i have with this is that in the post-rumble age points will be an irrelevant concept alongside things like emotion, individuality, life, and posting, but i'll score it anyway sure
