WWE OSF Pick 'Em 2019 Season - Stage 1 (aka: The Now-Slightly-Longer Season)

[MT 915]

I'm excited to see what my win GIF is again

[Blackjak 57]

It's a good one

[Blackjak 57]

So are we going to have an over/under question on how many matches are added during the show? 

 

(It's currently almost the end of Friday Smackdown and there's still just 3 matches for the PPV Sunday) 

[Vic Boss 612]

Jesus, I thought you were just too busy to pre-game the PPV before the SDL change.

 

Mebs just ignore this one.

[Blackjak 57]

We're up to 4 matches now. We'll see where we are later this afternoon. 

[MT 915]

Will that give people enough time to get their picks in, though? You know how long it takes sometimes

Well I got home a lot later than I thought I might... so I don't feel like making anything now. So maybe skip.

Hey MT, you gonna be the champion one day?

[MT 915]

Probably.

 

(I love Orange Cassidy so much)

 

Edit: New win gif

 

Edit 2: Not to replace the one I won with on the last PPV, for the next time I win, whenever that is.  

[Blackjak 57]

Damn, we should have picked the draft like we have in the past. 

[MT 915]

[Garlic Junior 136]

Did I win?

[Blackjak 57]

I'll edit in the updated standings and results later, wanted to get this up ASAP

My predictions will be up soon.

[Blackjak 57]

So, HBK revealed the Male NXT team about 15 minutes ago. 

 

Zach's picks didn't reflect him having seen that. So I figure, as long as KR or Psycho don't make picks, there's no reason we can't just lock the picks in as they were at the time of HBK's reveal and keep the question. 

 

But if they make picks, we'll null it too.  

 

 

[Psycho666Soldier 283]

About to throw in my picks for SS now since none of the predicted matches have happened yet.  I'd be fine with just not qualifying for the point on that question instead of nullifying it altogether.

Dat Eizan massacring Survivor Series

[Blackjak 57]

Okay... so I'm going to tally up all the points and crown the champion and start a new topic for the next season. Worlds Collide/Rumble baby!

 

Bonus question ideas? I think we can run a version of everyone picking (or RNG getting assigned) some numbers as entrants in both Rumble matches and the whoever has the winning entrant number gets like 5 points or 3 points or something.

@MDSu3rDup3 

@facharyzuller 

[Vic Boss 612]

- RNG idea for both Rumbles

- Final fours for both

- NXT entrants? Debuts? Surprise entrants? Maybe pick one for each idea?

- First weapon used in the Falls Count Anywhere match

 

Worlds Collide, there's a few "who pins who" questions and maybe interference-based questions

[MDSup3rDup3 12]

I like picking the NXT/surprise entrant. The RNG seems fun enough, but you need to divvy up all entry slots (and you get the same number in both Rumbles). Might also be fun to have a "Which superstar enters at X spot?" question

[MDSup3rDup3 12]

Also, if anyone has a DraftKings account, they have a Royal Rumble Pick 'Em

Sweet. 

 

And one of the scoring criteria is this: "If a Superstar is the 1st Superstar to enter the ring for the Royal Rumble Match" for 250 points. So you should probably pick Brock Lesnar as one of your Superstars

[Garlic Junior 136]

Best time of the year
