View Full Version : The Wrestling PPV Prediction Game (Discussion Thread)
Right, I'm sure everyone knows how prediction leagues work, but this one is a tad different, so I'll drop some knowledge on how things will go down. Firstly a few rules;
Anyone can enter
You must have your predictions in by 8pm on the day of the PPV
Anyone caught cheating will be DQ'd BAH GOD!
Should anyone but I win, a prize will be sorted out
Wrestling IS real. Just like Seahorses, Eskimos and Unicorns!
OK, so how many people are interested? Here's an example of how it works;
Match for the World Heavyweight Championship
Rey Mysterio vs. Undertaker (c)
Result
Rey Wins
Undertaker Wins
No Contest
Finish
Pinfall
Submission
KO/Referee Stoppage
DQ
Count-out
No Contest
Interference
There will not be interference
There will be interference
Summary
5 points for correct winner + 1 points for correct finish, +1 points for interference and a bonus +1 if all 3 are correct.
Is everyone OK with this? Simple enough?
Note:We'll probably need new threads for each PPV. M'kay?

(Ive played how I want this all to happen in my mind so many times, HBK vs Undertaker should happen at WM26, but there will be problems. I dont see another Orton vs Cena or Orton vs HHH saga being just this year. I want to see Orton face off against Legacy at WM or even a triple threat between all of them. I'd love to see Triple H go for a championship again, maybe as a Heel, dont really care but Sheamus shouldnt be the WWE Champ by that time, he'll probably get into a mini feud with Hornswoggle or someone of that calibur. And I desperatly want to say Edge for the Rumble, but it seems too obvious for him to comeback and Michael Cole to shout out 'Ultimate Opportunist' again.)
How are you scoring the Rumble match?
Personally, I think the scoring system is too high atm, but I won't argue if you've planned it through. I just think something like 10s instead of 15 and 1s rather than 2s is better.
I was gonna ask if we could have extra points for predicting the 4th, 3rd, 2nd and Winner of the rumble.
Also, you mention a prize Dan, we could have a 'Belt' as a Sig or Banner (if Don approved), showing the winner for the month.

I just stole it from here tbh - http://www.fourdown.org/WWE_Royal_Rumble_2010 - Perhaps it would be better if we came up with our own points system though?

Sounds like a plan, though the overall winner will receive something worthwhile, I'm just not sure what yet.
I'm in for this, looks fun and a new experience of predicting for me. When will the final card for Royal Rumble be out?

I don't think there'll be any more matches announced, but I'll probably wait until Wednesday morning when the SmackDown spoilers are released just to be sure.
I'll play. I'll put my predictions up on Sunday.

Yeah same here.

Aye. They have a good system but it's full of drop down menus and shit. Too advanced for us.
I suggest 5 for correct winner, 1 for each extra (interference/ finish method), and a bonus point if all 3 are right. For Rumble, 10 for winner, 1 for guessing no. 30 and 1 for guessing the winner's entry number. I'm just pulling those figures out my ass btw. I don't want to field to be spread too much, which could happen if we score too highly and someone gets just a couple wrong.
Just wondering, what happens if we got a repeat of say, No Way Out 2009 or Survivor Series 2008? In that Edge wasn't scheduled in the Raw Chamber but won and Edge won HHH/Kozlov despite not being in the match. We just count the whole match as null?
I don't think we'll get that on Sunday, but just mentioning it for future reference.
Bumping for the benefit of anyone who is yet to get their predictions in. Like me. :joel:

I have no idea, but I suppose we'll just make that match void, regardless of whether or not other predictions were correct, such as the finish and such. Though if anyone had a better idea how to deal with it, fair enough.

Well how about, on each match you can either make the bets stated previously, winner/finnish/interference, or you can bet bullshit - i.e. somekind of unexpected bullshit ending...
I'm not sure. Maybe we should add some more result/finish choices. Like "Swerve" and "Dusty Finish." Could complicate things though. We should decide by tomorrow evening though.
And what are people's thoughts on doing TNA PPVs as well? I don't think we have any hardcore TNA fans, so it might be pointless or put people at a disadvantage.
I'd leave things the way they are now. And as for TNA, I'd probably play along, but even then it'd be complete guesswork, so yeah ...rather pointless.
How should the elimination chambers be scored? +5 for winner, +1 for runner-up, +1 for starting two or something?
I think we should have +5 for the winner, then +1's for every correct order of fall predicted.
I'll have a thread up tomorrow evening. It'll probably be something like;
10 points for the winner of the Chamber, + 2 for correctly guessing the winners entry number, usual scoring system for regular matches and +5 for correctly guessing HBK's involvement at the event.
Things could change though.
I dunno, I preferred Baddar's scoring. +10 for the chamber win seems a bit much (since that's what we gave the rumble winner). I agree there should be some HBK points on offer providing he isn't put in a match.
If we do it that way though, it's no different than a regular match, with less points on offer too. Predicting each fall would be a mess really and I reckon most would just randomly guess.
How about 6 for guessing the winner, + 2 for predicting his entry number? Then to even it out, we do the HBK thing like suggested, as well as 5 points for predicting how many titles will change hands?
I'll be posting the thread tomorrow evening now instead. May as well wait until after the Smackdown spoilers are posted, just in case any funny business goes now.
What about numbers 1 and 2 though? They're interchangeable so, playing the percentage game, it's where an advantage lies. I would advise everyone pick one of the two. :shifty:

Are the scores going to be cumilative onto the rumble scores also?
Andy you should make the HBK option something like;
He'll get involved with the SD Elimination Chamber
He'll get involved with the RAW Elimination Chamber
He'll get involved with neither
And by that I mean either interfering before, during or after(?) the match. :shifty:
- Yes, Matt
Reminder to get your predictions in today, guys.
muscularmatt shot himself in the foot though.
Get your predictions in, fuckers

Unconfirmed matches, shouldn't count towards the points, imo.

Don't worry Joel, the rest of us can get points while I let you moan. :joel:
P.S. I'm confused whether Edge vs. Batista match will be there. I checked a website and mentioned that it won't happen. So are we predicting it just for the record, or will it count as an official prediction (should it be included)?
It was announced during a commercial break in Canada last Monday. It's not been shown on wwe.com because apparently Vince will announce it during the PPV. If it doesn't go ahead, it doesn't go ahead.
I sorted out the whole points system for this PPV based on the 5 matches. So it best happen :crymore:
Come on, Batista vs Edge is a big match. It would have been announced a week ago if it was happening. It's not like a midcard match, ala Miz vs MVP.
What those Canadians probably heard was Edge vs Batista on Smackdown, two days before the Elimination Chamber.
Edit: In fact, I reckon ShowMiz vs Kool-Aid Playas for the tag titles will make the show.
10 points for MITB (as there can't be any extra points for interference/pinfall etc. ) and the rest of the scoring as per usual?
Remember Extreme Rules is this Sunday, so either Dan or Guillermo will have to get the prediction thread up by Sunday morning (latest).
Well, they don't exactly have to, but it'd be nice if they can!
Apparently ShowMiz vs. The Hart Dynasty was added to the card on SmackDown?
I think I'll do terrible this time around. With the exception of the Cena match, I'm not sure who will win.
I've not read it anywhere? Maybe someone who's watched tonight can clear it up.
I've actually forgotten the rules of a strap match. I remember Punk beat Umaga last year just by touching all 4 corners. Ash cloud or no ash cloud, this PPV has had a woeful build.
P.S An extreme rules match can't end by DQ, Dan.
I guess I shouldn't have said anything, as you are above me in the table, but:
Extreme Rules: Jack Swagger (c) vs. Randy Orton for the World Heavyweight Championship
Winner: Jack Swagger
Finish: DQ
Interference: No
:huh:
You'll both live to regret this! :joel:
But yeah, now I'm having an even harder time trying to think of a logical winner/finish.
While participating in a Strap Match, the former tag team partners will be connected to each other by a long, leather strap. The strap can be used as a weapon, but to win, a Superstar must touch all four turnbuckles uninterrupted and in succession.
There are no pinfalls in this match.
Edit: Do we have to select who we think will interfere, if we say "yes"?

Nah.
Just realised this is on Sky Sports. No unreliable streams tonight. :joel:
Iit's something we could think about in the future.
Strap/bullrope/chain matches are ghey.
A4I9DMSvJxg
Orton and Punk can't win by yes, Joel. Sort it out.

Thanks for pointing that out.
Get your predictions in, bad lads.

The two Money In The Bank matches has made this so hard to predict. It's hard to see them going with two faces winning, or even two heels winning. Then you don't know whether they will use one match to try to get over a superstar and the other match to give to a normal main evneter.
I couldn't tell you who is going to win the Mysterio vs Swagger match. Usually you'd go with Rey cause he just won the title, but they could easily give it back to Swagger.
Argh... At least the unpredictability will make the show a good watch. Well, hopefully.
General consensus on the interference for Hart Dynasty/Usos match? I'm thinking of ignoring the option on that because I don't know how to call it either way.
Depends on whether you think a distraction (without physical contact) is enough to be labeled an interference.
Doesn't really matter, you was the big winner with predicting Miz. Damn you :angry:
Just so people know, the Hart Dynasty match isn't confirmed, but since they have to defend the titles I chose the most likely match. If it ends up being a turmoil or more teams are added we'll just ignore it.
Guillermo, hurry up and post your predictions! I want to see what you choose for the 6 pack challenge.
I wanted you or Dan to go first. Matt said his predictions were easy but I disagree with most of them. :lol:
We want Barrett to win, yeah?
EDIT: I better strike off the Michelle or Layla question too since it's confirmed to be Michelle. Who isn't even the champion ffs.
I want Barrett to win. And he has a chance too.
The way I see it:
There's a story if Barrett wins.
There's a story if Sheamus wins.
There's a story if Cena or Orton wins (the same story works with either).
Edge and Jericho have no chance though.
Yeah, pissed off that Michelle is in the match. Should have been Layla. Lay-Cool is coming to an obvious end - Michelle (heel) vs Layla w/ Kaval (faces).
Edit: So you went this Barrett then :hmm:
That sucks. I'd rather you went with my pick, because if we both lose I won't lose any ground :joel:
Changed one of my predictions:
I've said "Yes" to interference in the Kofi vs Dolph match.
If you mess up on Survivor Series then you're screwed.
After I win this, I'm going to pass you in the CL Prediction game :agree:
Appswah, you think Edge will retain his title then enter the Rumble? :lol:
Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov vs. Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater has been added to the card. How many times has this happened now?
I won't add it to the prediction thread due to its lateness.

Yep, he'll come out at about 22 or 23 and look like a really good shout for winning the match, and then HHH will come out one or two places later and eliminate him/eachother to setup their WM28 rematch.

If this happens, I will consult Original?, Phatmann and Hunter about making you a mod for a day.
Quote it.

Why not? Ring full of lower midcard dross and a couple of hated baddies, then BONG! Out comes Taker and clears house, only to get old fashioned by HHH.
Also, don't be MEGA surprised to see Brock Lesnar and/or Goldberg make an appearance.
