Th PPV pickers MOSTLY do well. Beth Phoenix continues to be a blight on people failing to get wins...well ever.
Try to get those picks in before Raw Starts but ill give some leeway and give you til 4:00PM EST on Tuesday to get in SD picks if you miss this topic til then.
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.

illuminatusbubu (David Otunga, Alberto Del Rio, Beth Phoenix) JONALEON1 (Beth Phoenix, Del Rio, Titus O'neil) zea: (Brodus Clay, Del Rio, Titus O' Neil) Maniac: ( Beth Phoenix, Ryder, Cody Rhodes) eaedwards6400 (R Truth, Alberto Del Rio, Mark Henry) Wizardsfan1000(Beth Phoenix, Kelly Kelly, Ultimate Warrior) Nee(Sheamus, Del Rio, Ultimate Warrior)
John Cena - obligatory return match seems in order, with Cena retaining. Kofi/Evan Bourne - Champs defending their titles at some point seems kinda safe. The Great Khali - Can see another guy getting fed to Khali as he continues to have his feud with Jinder. Jerry Lawler - Another stupid ass tag match squash of Otunga and McGuillicutty seems like a strong possibility.
John Cena for now.

Also, since this could very well be over by Tuesday
what does everyone think of the addition of a bonus question so you can keep playing even after you guess wrong, maybe worth half a point each for round 2?
Well this would get confusing BUT, I think Since both Sin Cara's are active. You'll actually have to denote WHICH Sin Cara, Hunico or Mistico from here til one leaves.

Also as for this I wouldn't mind it but half a point seems high unless the question is tough to nail.

Yeah As I've been thinking about it, my ideas for questions would almost necessarily have to be things that couldn't be answered yes or no for that point value, which would be difficult. Perhaps I'll move the point value around depending on the question I end up asking any given week.
Well, that works...as long as you can differentiate between points earned for correct suicide picks, and points earned from the bonus questions. And, in the event of a tie, points earned from suicide picks will trump points earned from the bonus question.

This PPV has to be Beth's time! I'm feeling good about her winning this time.
So just need Kelly to not get a match on SD or lose and we're golden. What I fear most is Kelly getting a warm up on SD vs Natalya-- don't see that ending well.

I mean, I'm with Lopen here...No way Beth loses 3 PPVs in a row. So, K2 needs to beat up on someone real quick over on SD...who are SD's heel Divas again, exactly?
