How about a Mega Fantasy "Competition"?

[The Mandarin 0]

What I'm thinking is around the lines of the WWE Fantasy competition, which was modeled off some of the fantasy leagues already on the internet. I'm not suggesting this as an alternative to the WWE Fantasy league, because that will obviously be a lot more fun. But this one could expand further- NWA-TNA and RoH at first, and if this all goes well, maybe even PWG, AJPW, NOAH and whatever promotions are still holding frequent shows.

 

Drafting wrestlers sounds, uh, easy. We'd have a number of participants who would pick a number of wrestlers. Not every wrestler in all the promotions would be chosen, I assume.

 

I'm looking at rules like +5 for your dude competing in a match, +5 for winning, -5 if the your wrestler(s) are disqualified (no points awarded for losing). Then we'd decide on the awarded points for titles. That's about it. Only televised or big event shows. I'm talking WWE TV, WWE PPV, TNA PPV, TNA Impact!, RoH events (no preliminary bouts like Do or Die), and whatever.

 

Seeing as some promotions hold more cards than others, we could either modify the rules to make things more even for the workers who don't wrestle as frequently as WWE wrestlers, or just not do anything and make it clear that it's wise to pick the WWE guys first.

 

I hope I can count on you experienced fantasy booking dudes for help here. Even those who are good at other sports leagues could chip in.

 

So right now this isn't even close to being "organized". But at least I've thrown the idea out there, let's see where we can go from there. Help and ideas wanted.

 

This probably has a better chance of being disastrous than it does successful, but hey- in time, everything floats off to the second page. Well, depending on your settings.

 

I still have no idea on what time span this will take place during, but I'll eventually need someone(..s) who can help me out with this and compile results of shows and point records. Right now, just give me your ideas. Please.

 

EDITED: Oh yeah, no prizes, just gratification knowing you traded Ace Steel for the suddenly-winning HB Cade. Phew, almost forgot that one.

[Guest Real F'n Show]

So it's like fantasy baseball with wrestlers instead? I may be up for this, although I don't really understand the rules all that well.

[Guest The Last Free Voice]

I dunno, after my offical ROH team lost me six points in one night I'm petrified of trying this again... Oh, who am I kidding, I'd be down.

[Steviekick 0]

Count me in.

[Zack Malibu 0]

I'd like to give this a shot. I too, could probably use some more clarification, but I'm interested.

[The Mandarin 0]

Alright, now that I've got people willing to participate/help(?), I'll try and make my rambling clearer and specify what I would need/what would be done. Mind you, this is a work in progress. Suggestions would be super.

 

It would basically be fantasy baseball, but about wrestling. The "season" would last from Sept. 27 to December 15. Participants would be able to pick from a roster including WWE, NWA-TNA and RoH workers.

 

My tenth pick is Val Venis!! I'm unstoppable now!

 

After everyone has their initial roster set, the season will begin. You can win points, and lose points depending on the performances of your wrestlers and the outcome of their matches. You can trade up until Oct. 31's trade deadline. You can't draft free agents (wrestlers nobody else picked).

 

Anybody want Val Venis?

 

On 12:00 AM Dec. 15th, whomever's roster has garnered the most points wins. In case of a tie (which isn't likely, whomever gets Triple H is going to win), then those two (or three) will go for one more week.

 

So I'd need results to RAW, SmackDown, Velocity, Heat, Impact, TNA PPVs and RoH supercards. Then I could determine which participants get points for their wrestlers' victories.

 

Example:

 

WWE Velocity

Zach Malibu's Doug Basham teamed with Danny Basham to defeat CM Funk's Johnny Stamboli and Real F'n Show's Nunzio. Zach Malibu gets 20 points for victory and two of his workers wrestling. Real F'n Show and CM Funk get 5 each for one worker wrestling each.

 

Each Monday afternoon, I'd update with the results of the past week and the scoreboard. In brackets would be the number of points your workers made this week.

 

Week 10

Zach Malibu- 230 (40)

CM Funk- 190 (25)

Real F'n Show- 175 (10)

ABOBO- negative 80 (-5)

 

This week-

WWE Raw, 11/15

..

 

How do you get points, you ask? Easy.

 

5 points if your wrestler competes in a match.

10 points if your wrestler wins (or his teammate wins) by pinfall or submission or is the last man in a battle royal or whatever.

5 points if your wrestler wins by countout or disqualification.

No points awarded for a loss or a no-contest.

-5 points if your wrestler is disqualified. Double DQ's don't count, they go under "no-contests".

 

10 points if your wrestler wins a title.

5 points if your wrestler retains a title.

 

So there's lots of points to go around. Feel free to sell wrestlers to eachother for points, if you wish. No deadline on that.

 

Tips

It's smarter to pick wrestlers who wrestle frequently. RoH and NWA-TNA won't be holding as many shows in this time period, so their workers won't be used as much. On the other hand, you can expect to see Sylvan Grenier rack up points just because he's on TV 24-7.

 

Don't pick Test.

 

If your wrestler is "suspended", is injured, leaves the promotion or just doesn't wrestle, that's the shits for you. You won't be getting points for inactive wrestlers.

 

Samoa Joe usually wins (unless it's a non-title match) and he regularly defends his title. I'd say he's a smart pick.

 

Once again, feel free to point out anything that doesn't make sense to you or something with loose ends. I'll try and clarify everything as best I can. Suggestions are appreciated. If everybody seems to be content with the way it is now, I'll start taking entries.

 

EDIT: Just so you know, I won't be playing. And I think we'll take 10 entries, 15 workers each. No more than that.

 

Already playing, I assume are Real F'n Show, The Voice, Steviekick and Zach Malibu. That's the order you'll draft in, so far.

[Steviekick 0]

Since this is still kind of a trial run, maybe you should just do it with WWE?

[King Cucaracha 0]

Eh, count me in too.

[Cuban Linx 0]

Why not, if this gets off the ground I'd be up for this too.

[Garth 0]

I'm up for it.

[Zack Malibu 0]

When will the draft start? I only ask because say we make our pics, but then in the last week WWE debuts, for example...Carly Colon on Smackdown. Given that he's a newb, he'd probably be put over and thus be a good pick. We can't discard someone in favor of him, correct?

[The Mandarin 0]

As for Steviekick's question, making it just WWE would be a lot easier, but I wanted this to be different from the WWE Fantasy league. Even now, it's quite similar. I just noticed I didn't finish this reply. I'm weird like that.

 

Because of time restrictions, I think it would be better if just the seven of you played and you drafted ten wrestlers each, for a total of 70 overall. Let me know if this doesn't sound good to you.

 

What I'm thinking, Zach, is that we'd start drafting Sept. 5th. From Sept. 5th to the 27th, you can drop any one of the wrestlers you picked for a "free agent" (like say nobody picked Colon yet). On Oct. 1st, you can't draft any more free agents, but you can do trades with other participants until Oct. 31st's trade deadline.

 

Also, there's a 24 hour time limit to make your picks. Say G_Money goes first, followed by Cuban_Linx. G_Money picks Triple H at 5:44 AM EST. If Cuban_Linx doesn't draft a wrestler by 5:44 AM EST the next day, then he's skipped and whomever's third goes next. If you've been skipped, please make your pick(s?) once you get back online. By this time, you may have unfortunately missed out on some wrestlers you wanted. If you'll be unable to respond for 24 hours or more at any point during the drafting, please mention that in the thread. If someone goes AWOL for 24 hours twice in a row, then they're subsequently skipped every time until they get back and respond. Sorry, but we've gotta make deadline. If not everyone has their 70 wrestlers by Oct. 1st, then the rest of their rosters will be determined via lottery (aka. me picking names out of my Titans cap). You have been warned.

 

You can trade wrestlers at any point. Make sure to read your SmackDown spoilers, because you don't want to trade away the new Cruiserweight Champion by Thursday.

 

I'll try and get a schedule together of events taking place during the season.

 

So this sounds good to everybody involved? If nobody has any objections, we'll start drafting on Sunday. Hopefully this doesn't interfere in anybody's schoolwork.

 

Edit:

 

Steviekick, I think we'll hold the draft seperately (the OAO Fantasy League thread) and that's where all deh bid'ness will go down.

[Garth 0]

That all sounds good to me. Looking forward to getting this underway.

[The Mandarin 0]

By the way, the draft order is Real F'n Show, The Voice, Steviekick, Zach Malibu, King Cucaracha, Cuban_Linx and G_Money.

[Zack Malibu 0]

When's the kickoff, CM?

[The Mandarin 0]

If nobody has any objections, we'll start drafting on Sunday.

 

That's the planned date.

[Zack Malibu 0]

Ah, lol, missed that. Sounds good.

[Guest Real F'n Show]

Cool, sounds good.

[Steviekick 0]

Are we going to be drafting in this thread?

[Guest The Last Free Voice]

So it's not just wwe, but TNA and ROH too? and we have 24 hours to make a pick, right? Cause I got school during the week, so I'm not on till the afternoon/evening....

 

This probibly made no sense, so I'll edit it when i wake the fuck up...

[Zack Malibu 0]

I would say run with just WWE and TNA, since ROH cards are so spaced out. Just my opinion, but I'm willing to go along with whatever.

[Guest The Last Free Voice]

OMG PCN HATIN ROH AGAIN OMGLOLZ!!!!

 

 

Just messin with ya. Picking anyone from ROH besides Joe, Punk and maybe Homicide would kinda be useless, so either way it's cool. I just hope to do better than I have done in the ROH one... Negitive eleven... Sheesh.

[The Mandarin 0]

Real F'n Show, you can make your first pick in 50 minutes (12:00 AM EST).
