I feel behind this week and didn't get anything up in time SO, Ill just ask do people want to take picks for the PPV only or extend this week to include the PPV and all of next week?
Id be cool with either, but I do want to include the PPV since those are interesting.
The Rules:
1.)You may only choose a given wrestler once per suicide period 2.)Only canon events count. RAW,Smackdown, NXT, Superstars, orpay per views. basically house shows dont count. 3.) the person you choose can be anyone, even if they arent on the active roster. 4.) If you fail to get a guess in, you automatically choose the ultimate warrior, and will therefore probably be eliminated. 5.) one entry per person. no alts etc. 6.) A win by any means is a win. A Tie is not a win. 7.) You MAY NOT change your entry after RAW airs and you may not submit an entry for smackdown/superstars/NXT once raw ends. 8.) per XIII's request you now have the option of PMing me your pick for future weeks BEFORE the next topic comes up if you think you wont be around to make the pick between Friday and Monday. 9.) Other rules Ive forgotten im sure, just ask if you're unclear.
OVERALL contest rules: 1.) You get one point per week you guess correctly. 2.) The winner of a given suicide round is gifted 3 bonus points for their win 3.) Once a new round begins your picks are cleared. For example, if you picked Randy Orton this week and the round ends that week, you may pick Orton again in the new round. 4.) There will be an indeterminate number of rounds depending on if interest in this is sustained. I may end it as early as like Vengeance or as late as Rumble. If I do this again in the future I would like to do a solid year- Mania to Mania, but this will do for now. 5.) You may join the league at the beginning of any given round, the odds of you winning are lessened, but its still possible for you to win. 6.) Finally there will be a prize, I am thinking a (reasonably priced) item of wrestling memorabilia of the winners choice.

I suppose to be fair a few people did include pics in the topic and I can count those if youd like but since the topic wasnt up I kinda feel like giving amnesty even if it wasnt needed and doing just the ppv.
Yeah I think in fairness to DP Ill make it PPV only.... the only person I am potentially screwing is chocoboslayer(since K2 already picked up a win), who is free to change his pick if he wants to.
Well let's look at the matches because this is kinda tough
Cena vs Del Rio Orton vs Mark Henry Punk vs HHH Beth Phoenix vs Kelly Kelly Truth/Miz vs Kofi/Bourne Cody vs Ted Ziggler vs Morrison vs Swagger vs A-Ry
I'm leaning Cena but it seems like a waste to take the belt off of Del Rio so quickly Leaning Henry but Orton has the Orton factor and the Henry dominating the feud factor going for him Leaning Punk because of HHH getting power bombed by Nash in some grand Laurenitis/Nash/Vince(?)/Punk(?) conspiracy. Problem is that can easily go the other way replacing Vince and Punk with HHH. Leaning Beth because Kelly beat her last PPV and it seems like it'd just bury Beth to lose again at this point.
Other three matches I have no real read on, but I would say the smart booking there is Morrison, Cody, and Truth/Miz.
Eh. Sticking with Mark Henry, if for no other reason than I don't see what Orton has left to do if he beats him and Mark Henry demanding a rematch just doesn't seem in character. On the other hand if Henry wins you have an Orton rematch, Sheamus in the wings, and possibly Henry's old victims Kane and Show coming back too.
Not sure why I went on this long analysis probably cause I'm bored.

Okay, now that I've watched SD, I'm probably going to change my pick. K2 has absolutely no business winning at another PPV (and she shouldn't have won at SummerSlam, but that's a different story). She's been rolling people up for about a month now (see also: why I picked her this week), and I see no reason for this to happen again. Unless, of course, this turns into something about Beth not being able to do it and Natalya being the one who takes the title from her and then Beth/Natalya go at it over who's the more powerful one oh damn now I wanna keep my pick...
I have time to think about this a little more...>_>
