WWE Game X: TNA Invasion

And for everyone who seems to think we sent in lists to make our picks in the first game, that NEVER actually happened, it was discussed, ultimately we had a draft order like we do now, the only dfference was it wasn't a snake draft so 1st picked everyone 1st....

...Oh and Evolution was 6th out of 7 on that list.

Why is he in the ring with JBL.... JBL looks depressed in that photo.

and as far as the 2nd bit goes in that post.

hahaha. So it wasn't a snake and Evo was 2nd from last and still won.... thats incredible.... IMO to win like that has to go down as the greatest victory in the game. So if he was 6th he'd get picks 6,13,20,27,34 as where no1 got 1,8,15,22,29.

I think the snake is fairer coz i think wherever you are you have a chance. I often get placed quite high in the draft and i'd like to see the difference by getting a lower spot one game. It would be interesting to see where people have won from since the snake came into effect.

[Hammy]

I could of sworn we did this before, I think it was when people were complaining about being near the bottom of the draft and we said having 1st pick is not that good.

Well snake drafting came in 2nd Game.

I had 1st pick and won that.

D won picking 10th out of 11 (And I was 2nd that game picking 11th out of 11, while Axl_Rose_700 had 1st pick and came 6th)

Malcolm won picking 9th out of 10. (D picked 1st and came 9th out of 10)

D won (again) picking 10th out of 14. (Timothy picked 1st and came 2nd)

Gnrfan won picking 2nd. (Timothy picked 1st and came 6th)

Cowbell won picking 11th out of 11. (BlowUpYourVideo picked 1st and came 7th)

I won picking 5th out of 12. (Gnrfan had 1st pick and finished 7th)

D won picking 8th out of 13. (I had 1st pick and came 2nd)

And you take into account Evolution's first game victory, 2nd last pick has won 3 times to 1st picks once!

So it seems that picking lower down actually helps. Interesting. i think i've actually been in the top 3 about 4 or 5 games. I thought that was an advantage.

[D]

u have an advantage picking lower in snake drafts.

say we have 12 people.

u get the first pick and like the 24th pick

so Id rather have the 12th and 13th cause they combined will do better than the 1st and 24th.


Im just giving Evo shit cause he finally came back to the game. So I have a lot of shit to make up that I havent got to say and do!


The only thing that sucked about that first game was, trying to put guys in order 1-30 and having no idea who picked who etc made it tough cause when u are just listing 30 wrestlers, its hard to strategize and make up a plan.



Oh yeah also, for those who have forgotten, check that list again, I think it says I've won 3 times!

I beat 11 people, 14 people and then 13 people.

So its not like I only beat like 5 or 6.

How many times do I have to say this we DID NOT do that.  We planned to but didn't do it that way in the end.

"So it's not like I only beat like 5 or 6" (But Evolution did)

Yawn.

[Evolution]

So its not like I only beat like 5 or 6.

If anything, having 13 teams means the quality of team and therefore competition is that much weaker.

[D]

Disagree, cause that makes every pick that much more crucial when 14 are playing. U can't have any mistakes drafting.

with 5 or 6, u have guys to pick up etc. U make a bad pick or somebody gets injured with this many, and u are done.

Yeah, he's like "What am I doing here?". Actually, there's quite a few captions you could give for that picture. Best one gets 20 points.

[D]

Cowbell got the steal of the game!



HAHAHA I so hope John Cena comes back NOV 1st.  That will be a double

Man only 79 points between 1st & 6th... this could be a topsy turvy game.

And i'm 2nd in both games.... thats annoying!

[D]

There's still over 3 months to go also! So who knows who will get injured/pushed.......... This game could be one of the best ever cause I don't see anyone with an overwhelmingly amazing unbeatable team.

Yeah i agree. The whole TNA thing has made it open and looking at some quality not drafted drafts could and probally will win this game

[D]

I am really bored, so Im gonna do something:


Each month the game goes by, I am gonna recap, give my prediction and I am gonna rank at this point, who I think has the best chance of winning etc.



One Month in:

Best Pick

1.Chris Jericho "Evolution"  
2. Samoa Joe  Jim
3. HHH  Gnrfan

Worst pick
1. Hammy Kennedy
2. Timothy Paul Burchill 2nd
3. D Big Show


Diamond in The Rough *great pick late in the game
1.D/Hammy Beer Money 5th pick
2.GnrFan Awesome Kong
3. Slash666 Evan Bourne

Worst Luck
1.Hammy Kennedy and Edge both out
2. Cowbell Losing John Cena
3. Timothy Paul Burchill wrestling just in time to make him have to drop Hawkins.


Smartest Move in The Game so far
1.Timothy grabbing Primo AND Candice Michelle
2.D betting on two guys simultaneously in order to land the one he really wanted "Swagger"



Bonehead moves of the game
1.Cowbell dropping Cena, picking up Cena and Yes Dropping Cena again for a guy who has NO chance
2. BlowupYourVideo  not taking any TNA wrestlers and living and dying with Biscuits and Gravy
3. Top Contenders not being more aggressive in the Debut market that could really distance themselves from the pack.
4. D Betting way too much money on Maryse

D's Projected finishes:

1.GnrFan Great scorers in all positions if he'd just get rid of The Undertaker. In reality UT is very valuable, in these games, I don't think anyone has ever won a title with him on their roster as he never wrestles through the week and PPV points alone are like having a Raw guy job 4 Raws in  a roll,

2. D   Yes I know it seems self serving putting myself in the number 2 position and a lot of it is What if's at this point. Next month I'll re evaluate and will place myself lower if Big Show isn't more active and Orton isn't back.  Right now though, When u go down the teams, and once again this is a What If scenario but if Show starts squashing and Orton comes back, no one has a roster in my opinion that can rival mine. With Hardy the ECW champ, Roode a TNA tag champ on a show where the belts get defended, Swagger looks solid, I have a shot to really make some noise and I like my team compared to the people ahead of me. I've been playing with a 3 man team and the results speak for themselves.


3.Evolution: Jericho as champ and defending it well,If taylor Wilde keeps the TNA belt and Umaga comes back and starts wrestling soon Evo has a very very solid team. Finlay is good for points here and there on ECW but Chavo is a glaring weak spot on his team that could've been addressed with Manu,Primo or Carlito. A great FA pickup and EVO easily could win this game.

4.Slash666: He has an outstanding team from top to bottom. His team isn't PPV ready though which will stop him from winning a title. Really Batista is the ony PPV guy on his squad. R Truth,Bourne are very solid scorers but Cosequences Creed not winning the X title puts him really behind.

5.Malcolm: Like Slash, a very very sollid team, if Rhodes could defend tag title more he'd have a better chance but with Manu, I expect a lot of 6man tags.  JBL is the only PPV guy and he usually loses. Mickie is solid, Booker T is good and the Miz will pick up a few here and there

6.Timothy: I really like his team now he added Prmo and Candice. If Candice could beat Beth and Primo win tag titles, Tmothy could challenge for the game. Kurt Angle also has to find a way to stay healthy.

7.Jim: Samoa Joe is a pt scoring machine and Jim really could challenge for the title if he would get active in the new debuts. He has a  huge sore thumb on his roster in D LO brown that Manu,Primo or Carlito would've filled that nicely.

8.Hammy: Kennedy and Edge have really put him behind BUT I expect Edge back sooner than later, Carlito was a nice pick up and Beth Phoenix is a machine. Natayla could win diva title later and he has James Storm. So I expect him to rebound and maybe even finish top 5 if Edge returns soon.


9 Sweet616: CM has dropped the title, but shoudl wrestle consistently, Kendrick and AJ are point getters, this is probably too low, he actually could finish a couple spots up depending on Edge etc.

10.Cowbell: Even though he would've been better off getting Ortiz back or even Ryan Braddock or someone over Nicky, Kozlov is getting a nice push, he still has McCool and John Morrison surely will win a match again. Only thing right now is he really has 0 PPV wrestlers on his roster.

11.High Times: Depends on Jeff Hardy and if he is disciplined, if Shawn Micheals is back acitve. Hell, if both these guys win titles, He will be much higher obviously.

12.Blowupyourvideo: I love my partner and he is great, but Kane/Mysterio aren't setting the world on fire, Biscuits and Gravy.................... yeah................. Could be a wooden spoon for the greatest partner in tag game history.

[Hammy]

2.D betting on two guys simultaneously in order to land the one he really wanted "Swagger"

Ok, come on people, hands up, who would have bid on Swagger if D had just bid for him?  Anyone?  Nope, didn't think so.

Edit: Just because I feel like being immature

I love my partner and he is great

GAY!

[D]

Swagger lost his FCW title last night! So that means he has made a great impression and is staying full time!

Kind of Like a Val Venis for the new millenium. He just looks like a man in a gay german porn. I am sure he is thinking in that picture of telling JBL its 25 if he wants Ziggler to give him a Hand, and 50 it JBL needs his mouth.  JBL the Wallstreet Tycoon is trying to work out a package deal.

Seriously he is about a cheesy / pointless as the old Spirit Squad, but I think He will probalby get 2 raw wins in before they throw in the towel and have him Job out on raw until the end of the year and I am sure he will be worth 5 points a week then. After all with all that talent on RAW, they are going to need a fluffer to job and make the rest look really good.

Why do you keep putting me as favourite. I think my team isn't as good as i first thought.

I'm starting to worry that i have 3 champions and i think 2 of them will lose their titles soon. I think to win i need Taker back and fighting every other week on SD and i need Kong to win Gold and i need Santino to keep up the Honk-O-meter

2.D betting on two guys simultaneously in order to land the one he really wanted "Swagger"

Are you really joking! If you went to all that hassle to get him.... you could of just BID for him. Coz no one wanted him. I STILL dont want him and like Hammy said.... i'm not sure anyone else wanted him.

But i like the preview though D, even if some of it is BS in my eyes

[BlowUpYourVideo]

I will not get angry here, I just wish to make an observation: why don't they have Festus pin his opponent and then he can tie the guy up and drag him off backstage? That way, I shall get a nice 12 points from him every week. That is all.




IT'S NOT THAT FRICKING HARD

haha. but you know as soon as you drop them..... tag champs
