(3 pts. each, 10 pts bonus for accurately naming all): Mr. Kennedy, Umaga, CM Punk, Batista, HHH, and HBK (with the final four being Batista/Taker/HHH/HBK - that would be cool).

14. How many people will Hornswoggle eliminate? (3 pts.): 1 with Finlay's help.

15. Will anyone bleed? (no point value), if so, who? (2 pts): Probably not, but HHH if anyone (maybe after a Regal brass knuckle attack).

[tekcop 0]

Woo. If my math was right, I got 17 points.

[Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0]

I think I got six points.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

6 points.

[Guest]

9 points.

[PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0]

21 points... if I am counting correctly.

[Hawk 34 0]

I was wrong about Santino. Benjamin lasted less time in the ring, adjust your scores accordingly.

[Corey_Lazarus 0]

11 points, thanks especially to the final sixm Hornswaggle eliminating one person, and HBK bleeding like a good boy.

[King Cucaracha 0]

^ Ditto on all counts.

[Guest thehartfoundation]

I also got 17, wooooo.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

FYI, Santino was in 3 seconds less than Benjamin (17 vs 20)... or so wikipedia has said all day without being changed. I've seen another source say Santino was in 26 seconds and Benjamin was in 18.

 

If I'm doing my math right and going with Santino like I thought before reading Hawk's answer key, I got 19. Otherwise, 14.

[Craig Th 0]

6 points.

 

But I got three EC people right, so that is 15.
