Take me to your Shida

Hello and welcome to round two of the NEEEEEWWWWW WWE Prediction game.

Link to the form is HERE

Predictions for Takeover are due by 4PM EST on Saturday.

Predictions for Summerslam are due by 1PM EST on Sunday.

As before, point tiers are determined by me based on a combination of how I feel and how WWE wants me to feel.

Takeover isn't worth very many points so I don't care if you don't like me including it!

No bonus points for posting in the thread but, in honor of The International 8 starting today, post your best comparison of big DotA 2 moments and Wrestling moments!

an edit!

IcePhoenix posted:

I just want to clarify that the "name them" option for an NXT person showing up at Summerslam is a "double or nothing" option, in case that wasn't clear.

If you picked a person and want to switch it to a "yes" instead, or you picked yes and want to switch to a person, please quote this post and say so before....we'll say 3PM EST Sunday.

when the guy beat the boss to win dota it was like the big dog vanquishing brock lesnar, the worst champion ever!

Liquid beating LGD at TI3 is like Luger slamming Yokozuna FOR AMERICA because it was a super awesome moment for an underdog American team to beat the powerhouse foreign team and nobody actually remembers that what happened afterwards was a disaster.

I probably haven't seen dota2 at all in my life unless maybe a dunkey youtube video used dota2 footage as a joke about league of legends and i couldn't tell the difference. i compare this moment to the time i was entertained by any member of the og bullet club.

WWE is a lot like DOTA2 in that the majority of the world are surprised to learn it still exists, but it's also somehow making a ton of money and nobody can really figure out why.

I voted for the most depressing and frustrating answers possible, because I fully expect that to happen.

This booking team is like watching a bunch of tryhards lose to bots.

I put in a thing. DOTA 2 is like Raw, in that every instance of it takes three times as long as it should and the people who care about it enough to post about it on the internet are insane.

Until this topic went live, I never knew how much I wanted KO to win the Briefcase and cash in on Brock.

Brock, known Diverticulitis-haver, then proceeds to do the Shane McMahon "OOOOOOoooogh. OOOOOOOOGH. UGGGGGGHH" powerbomb sell and KO is champ.

i don't know enough about Dota2 to even make a joke about it. personally i didn't like predicting NXT matches because i don't watch or care about NXT because watching NXT and also regular WWE at the same time has to be like psychological torture and i wouldn't do that to myself.

I predict Takeover will be very good and Summerslam will be overall bad with a few good matches. I don't play or watch Dota 2 op.

everyone who enters after right now has the odds site bookmarked and pastes in what it says because they need to win. all excuses or meltdowns about not reading the forum 24/7 are extreme lies. Don't trust.

Also informal poll: Even though it really shouldn't be hard to do predictions in the like three or four days I give you before the deadline, should I change "no credit" to "half credit" for submitting late? I'd do it retroactively as well if so.
