fazzle Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 5. Who lasts the longest amount of time? Triple H; NOTE: Triple H's time of 49:28 beats Rey Mysterio by one second, and Rey lasted 49:27. Is that from the time they were announced to the time they were eliminated, or the time they stepped into the ring?
CubbyBr Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Damn it...if my calculations are right and I had included Duggen and Goldust in the Rumble like I initially wanted to I would have been tied for first.
JHawk Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Posted January 26, 2009 5. Who lasts the longest amount of time? Triple H; NOTE: Triple H's time of 49:28 beats Rey Mysterio by one second, and Rey lasted 49:27. Is that from the time they were announced to the time they were eliminated, or the time they stepped into the ring? Hunter's time is from the time the buzzer went off until the time of his elimination, as once the buzzer goes off he's considered officially in the match. Standings should be forthcoming.

That kinda gives HHH an advantage then, doesn't it? Rey was officially in the match when he was announced, but I'm assuming his timer didn't begin until Morrison also entered and the bell rang, right?
JHawk Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Posted January 26, 2009 CubbyBr and the Ghost of bps21 are the only ones who got all five winners correct, as most of us had Phoenix winning the women's match and ending up with four out of five. Thus, lots of shakeup in the standings. Points for the night: 1. the Ghost of bps 21 (16) 2. CubbyBr (15) 3. Exslade ZX (12) 4 (tied). King Cucaracha, The Franchise and Broward83 (10 each) 7 (tied). haws bah gawd, Vampiro69, Enigma, fazzle, and Canadian Destroyer (9 each) 12 (tied). Diamonddust, JHawk, Ed Wood Caufield, Jebus, and Aero (8 each) 17 (tied). 6foot9, korndogg123, and daileyxplanet (7 each) 20. MillenniumMan831 (6) 21 (tied). DMann2003, RepoMan, and Toxxic (5 each) Eight no shows this time by my count. Overall standings through the Royal Rumble. 1. ExsladeZX (22pts) 2. The Ghost of bps21 (20pts) 3. CubbyBr (19pts) 4. Broward83 (15pts) 5, King Cucaracha (14pts) 6. Canadian Destroyer (13pts) 7 (tied).

JHawk Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Posted January 26, 2009 5. Who lasts the longest amount of time?

That kinda gives HHH an advantage then, doesn't it? Rey was officially in the match when he was announced, but I'm assuming his timer didn't begin until Morrison also entered and the bell rang, right? Also correct, because the match doesn't officially start until the bell rings. Something like that is a judgment call. Obviously WWE will claim Santino broke "Warlord's" record for quickest elimination. But if we start from the time entered in the ring, then Ric Flair didn't actually quite hit the one hour mark in 1992. I was actually considering calling it a tie based off of that grey area (and because WWE can never get it straight themselves either), but nobody actually picked Mysterio as the answer to that question.
TheFranchise Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 7th? I'm rollin' up the corporate ladder!
korndogg123 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Man, I changed my mind on those bonus questions so many times before posting my final decisions. I'm just surprised the WWE would put so much cannon foddder in this year when jobbers have been left out in the past for more star power. RVD was one hell of a surprise. But why are they holding up Umaga's return? And wow, so much star power going in early. And I'll bet nobody expected half of the people to be left when #30 entered.
haws bah gawd Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Someone do me a favor, and remind me of how long Chris Benoit lasted in the 2004 Rumble? I swear I remember it being over an hour, although I realize Rey Mysterio was the new holder of the iron man accolade for obvious reasons.
MillenniumMan831 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 For someone tied for 21st after actually participating in both ppvs so far, I should never complain that wrestling is too predictable.
CubbyBr Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 What will happen if, at the end of the season, there is a tie for first place?
The Ghost of bps21 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 I think there's something to be said for the fact that I follow TNA more than pretty much anyone and even I can't figure out what they're doing...but I can nail every WWE match and I only watch RAW on fast forward.
cd213 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 bps, I'm with you on that. As bad as people say TNA is, they seem to be less predictable at times, especially on the PPV.
JHawk Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Posted January 30, 2009 What will happen if, at the end of the season, there is a tie for first place? I hadn't considered that. Any suggestions?
JHawk Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Posted January 30, 2009 All ties go to me. No. Any others?
fazzle Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 a tiebreaker question for the last PPV of the season? Something along the lines of guessing the total in-ring time of the matches maybe?
CubbyBr Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 What if, in the case of a tie, you just go back and add up all of the individual points for both people, excluding the five bonus points for correctly guessing full PPV's? Person that has the most individual points wins.
King Kamala Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 Split the prize? As a non-participant, I support this idea. Especially if one of the winners goes to the other's house and ambushes him and steals his part of the prize ala Bad News Brown at WrestleMania IV.
JHawk Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Posted January 31, 2009 Since splitting the prize seems to be getting the most support, that's probably the way it'll go. I really do not anticipate a tie, but it is certainly a possiblity with PPVs to go in season one.
