Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2005 141 pts last week. Not too bad considering that I don't know what I'm doing. I ditched my GM for Lashley & Holly. Lashley should be getting a lot of clean wins and Holly was the only one left that fit into my budget properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2005 I'm trading Cena in for HBK before the deadline runs out... WWE.com has a Pre-Raw photo of Shawn standing with a ladder on the Raw stage. This probably means nothing, but may also mean specialty match participation points (assuming he loses to Angle, who I already have and almost never drop, in a #1 Contender LAdder Match). Probably nothing though... but he is in his gear so he should at least have a match. Tajiri is just sitting in the arena using a cell phone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fökai 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2005 My roster... RAW: Bischoff, Cena, Angle, Trish Smackdown: Batista, Booker, Benoit, Sharmell, Teddy Long I had a decision between buying Trish/GMs or Orton. I stuck with the Trish/GM combo based on appearance points. SOLD: Kennedy (3.0) , Lashley (2.0) BOUGHT: Booker (4.0), Sharmell (1.0) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2005 Well Kane just scored like 1,000 points for me, so I should do OK. It was too bad Kurt didn't have a match, but 7 points is 7 points (I think.. 2 appearance + 1 finisher). Edge lost but still had 3 appearances, 2 matches, finisher, last match, and specialty match points, so that should work out. I assume Edge was in BR, anyway. I thought I saw him when it started but he was gone after the commercial. My other Raw guy was HBK and he won his match with a finisher (not sure what Fantasy's ruling on kicking a foriegn object into your opponent is... hopefully it counts for points). For SmackDown, hopefully more appearance points for Edge and a win for Randy Orton. I took the cowards way out for the Benoit/Booker match and picked them both, so some guaranteed points there. Should end up being a good week for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2005 my team this week (as of sunday) is Cena (main event match vs angle). Kane (triple threat vs shawn and show, I assume hell win as they are building him back up again as a challenger), sd-booker and sharmell(I think hell maybe defend the title this week), Heidenreich and Animal (4 way tag title defense, I think theyll win and its a specialty match right?, I would think they are saving a title change for ppv so Im betting on LOD 2k5) batista and eddie (main event six man tag) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MNM? (maybe but they won already, Burchill and Regal and the mexicools have never won the tag titles. But isnt that new team that attacked LOD two weeks ago going to feud with them?)

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2005 I changed my roster a few times today but for some reason decided to make some budget women picks. I know Stacy has a match on SmackDown! so I picked her, then because anyone that cost $2.5M will probably only appear on the no longer point worthy B-shows, I picked Mickie James and Candice. Also picked The Ortons, HBK, Angle, Edge, Heidenreich, and either Mercury or Nitro, I don't recall. I'll see how this pans out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Open the Muggy Gate 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2005 I'm keeping Masters and Lashley since they keep giving me points. I dropped the bitches and Edge for this week. I'm taking a risk and picking both Nitro and Mercury. I think they could take the belts this week and if they do, MONDO points for me. Also have Orton and Kennedy. Something about the 6-man is telling me the Ortons and Kennedy will pick up the win there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2005 Hmm.. I never even thought about the displaced SD! taping for next week. That's kinda weird though, taping a show before a PPV when it will be airing after it, as you'd think the SmackDown! guys would discuss whatever happens at the PPV. This makes me assume they'll win because otherwise they would complain about losing, while winning they can just say nothing and have the announcer talk about it in voice over. Also, until everyone gets points for SmackDown (though I should too), I'm in first in the league. Hooray! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2005 I found this week kinda hard to pick... however with Kane's back injury I removed him (and the title win points I thought he and show would be getting) amd Sharmell (who was taking u pa spare $1M) and replaced them with Lashley (Handicap match points from SmackDown this coming week) and Cade (might retain now). I also assume Austin is going to win so I spent the big $5M on him since it would be a specialty match. Flair/HHH I wasn't sure so I bought Flair, I also have Rey and Cena. I may or may not have kept Angle... I think I dropped him. I also have Conway as I assume he is winning but maybe not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
