Derek B Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Has anyone got some performance enhancing drugs I can give to Nuclear? Doesn't need to be steroids, viagra will do! Anything to break this amazing losing streak he's on.....

Nuclear has the longest losing streak of anyone all season. And somehow he's still at .500... which shows how awesome he used to be. Maybe I should never have changed his moveset.

ShadowedFlames Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 Went back and looked at the schedule...and Derek's right. Even the 3-9 and 4-8 records stopped their skids at 4 losses; Nuclear is on 5 straight losses and has not won since week seven in Montreal. I dunno how the heck I missed that one.

Prophet Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Can't believe I fell out of contention. I didn't think I'd make it anyway, but everytime Maxx teetered, he'd come back with a motn. Now I'm lucky to go 12 minutes. Shame he's going back to jail soon ... when he shanks the commish.

Derek B Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Well this can't be the week he breaks that streak .... So you'd rather Nuclear kept streaking at you? Don't say you haven't been warned!! And SF... yeah, I didn't really want to mention the losing streak. We were both on 4 going into our fight and even with a Lariat you wouldn't stay down. I'm too lazy to look now, but is there some kind of awesome end of season bonus for all us guys who can help you sell 30,000 seats and only get pennies in return?

ShadowedFlames Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 I'm too lazy to look now, but is there some kind of awesome end of season bonus for all us guys who can help you sell 30,000 seats and only get pennies in return? Game-wise? Not really. I'm trying to keep the amounts for the game proper on the small side, makes it easier to do the math. Now, outside of the League (but still in-character), I quote the League's owner in a brief RP I did back in week seven: ...In return, I'm offering a downside of $10,000 a month—half of what's currently set aside for you and every other worker each month in a high-yield account... So in-character, everyone is set to make about $70,000 in salary for three or four months' of work. You'll never see that in game terms, though, as that much money would allow someone to max out a single ability and get a good jump on another one or two. So all of the beatings will be worth it in the end; it's just that in the game it certainly does not seem like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowedFlames Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 Season One, Week Thirteen September 3, 2010 THE LEAGUE: WEEK THIRTEEN <object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyxBiUbCP8E&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></object> The night skies of Lisbon light up as the pyro goes off, and the standing-room-only crowd of 28,219 erupt in cheers as the cameras begin to roll inside Estádio do Restelo. It certainly seems to be a festive atmosphere as the camera shifts to ringside. Bob Sinclair: Boa tarde, everyone, and welcome to Lisbon! Frankie Garnett: What did you just say? Bob Sinclair: Boa tarde. It's Portuguese for "Good Evening." Frankie Garnett: Then why didn't you say "good evening?" Bob Sinclair: ...Anyway, ladies and gents, tonight the playoff picture becomes a little clearer as we near the end of the regular season. We could find out as early as tonight who is in, and who is not when the playoffs roll around! Frankie Garnett: Then why are we wasting time talking? Let's get to it! Diamond (6-6) vs. Nuclear Templeton (6-6) Billy Idol's "Shock to the System" hits as the crowd erupts in cheers. Amelia Williams: Ladies and gentlemen, our opening contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Atlantic City, New Jersey, weighing 278 pounds...Nuclear Templeton! Bob Sinclair: Our resident columnist, Tori Montgomery, has Nuclear's hopes of making the playoffs as being on life support, but she's being too generous, Frankie. Even if he wins out and British Warrior loses out, Nuclear still loses the tiebreaker as Warrior beat him twice this season. Frankie Garnett: So Nuclear's only hope is the wild card? Bob Sinclair: Afraid so. Frankie Garnett: Wonder if he realizes that... "Oh, it's time to rock and roll..." The opening lyric is enough to send the crowd into a jeering frenzy, as the lone woman in The League walks out with a confident smirk on her face. Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Aberdeen, Scotland, weighing 132 pounds...Diamond! Bob Sinclair: Diamond has a better chance. A win here, plus a Sean loss, puts them both in a win-and-in situation heading into their rematch in the final week of the season. Frankie Garnett: But, how? Tori said— Bob Sinclair: Tori was off her game this week, Bob. Sean's 2-0 against Triumph. Diamond is the only hope for the Gamma Division to keep Sean out of the playoffs. She loses, the division race is all but over given Sean's opponent tonight. Frankie Garnett: ...huh. Nuclear Templeton hit the Forearm Strike Nuclear Templeton hit the Toss To Corner Nuclear Templeton hit the Corner Knife Edge Chop Nuclear Templeton hit the Corner Knife Edge Chop Nuclear Templeton hit the Ten Turnbuckle Smashes Nuclear Templeton applied the Nerve Pinch Nuclear Templeton applied the Rear Seated Chinlock Diamond blocked the Knee Drive To Arm.

Diamond hit the Women's DDT Diamond hit the Legdrop To Groin Nuclear Templeton moved and the Flip Legdrop missed! Nuclear Templeton picks up Diamond from behind. Nuclear Templeton hit the German Suplex The referee begins the count... 1! 2! This Could Be It! The referee's hand starts coming down... 3! Amelia Williams: Here is your winner, at a time of four minutes and forty seconds...Nuclear Templeton! Bob Sinclair: In what has to be a shockingly quick decision, Nuclear Templeton cripples Diamond's playoff chances! Frankie Garnett: How do Nuclear's chances look? Bob Sinclair: Grim. He needs Maynard to lose out, and Nuclear needs to win next week, since he has tiebreaker over Maynard. That's his ONLY hope. If Maynard beats Tarik Nolan later on, Maynard eliminates Templeton from the playoffs tonight. Frankie Garnett: How are you keeping track of all of this? Bob Sinclair: I made a scorecard. Frankie Garnett: ...cheater. HARDCORE MATCH: Johnny Triumph (6-6) vs. Maxx Skabb (5-7) Bob Sinclair: It's called being prepared, Frankie. You might want to try it sometime. Frankie Garnett: Pfft, effort. Disturbed's "The Night" hits the speakers as the first participant in the match comes out to a rousing chorus of jeers. Amelia Williams: This match is a hardcore match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from the Orange County Correctional Facility, weighing 291 pounds...Maxx Skabb! Bob Sinclair: Maxx was eliminated from the playoffs last week, a win here and he ensures that his opponent has no hope of winning the wild card. Frankie Garnett: Given his recent record, Bob, I'm not sure he can. Megadeth's "Symphony of Destruction" hits the speakers as the Gamma Division's third-place man walks out. Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Des Moines, Iowa, weighing 228 pounds...Johnny Triumph! Bob Sinclair: Two Triumph wins, coupled with two Maynard losses, would give the wild card to Triumph thanks to a week nine victory in Nova Scotia. That's barring Nuclear Templeton getting involved in that scenario, too. Frankie Garnett: Nothing else works? Bob Sinclair: Nothing. Johnny Triumph hit the Slap To Chest Maxx Skabb took the blow, but just shrugs it off and goes on the attack. Johnny Triumph blocked the Toss To Corner.

Kick Out At Two-And-A-Half! Frankie Garnett: There you go, Triumph, pull out all the stops! Anything goes! Bob Sinclair: For a Hardcore match, there certainly seems to be very little use of foreign objects. Maxx Skabb blocked the Inverted Atomic Drop.

Bob Sinclair: Triumph's done his part this week; now all he can do is sit back and hope that Nolan can get the job done tonight to keep his chances intact. Frankie Garnett: As much as I'd like to see it, I do not see it happening, Bob. Maynard's been on too much of a roll this season. Sean (7-5) vs. The Phoenix (3-9) There is a brief pause before the opening chord of "The Instinct" hits, to complete and utter silence from the crowd. Amelia Williams: This bout is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from The End of Nowhere, weighing 367 pounds...The Phoenix! Frankie Garnett: Curses. I was hoping they'd keep him out of the country for fear of sinking it into the Atlantic due to his size. Bob Sinclair: Man, that's not right at all. Frankie Garnett: Pfft, like he cares, Bob. Black Sabbath's classic "Iron Man" hits the speakers to announce the entrance of the Gamma Division leader. Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Charlotte, North Carolina, weighing 230 pounds...Sean! Bob Sinclair: Here's the scenario, ladies and gents. Sean wins and he locks up the Gamma Division as he holds the tiebreaker over Triumph. If Phoenix manages a second straight upset, that puts Sean and Triumph both at 7-6, with Diamond at 6-7. It's entirely possible that the Gamma Division could finish with a three-way tie at 7-7. Frankie Garnett: If that happens, who wins the division? Bob Sinclair: By virtue of record against those tied, Diamond. Right now, Triumph's only hope is for Sean to lose his next two, and for Triumph to win next week. That would give him the division outright. A Sean win here or next week, or if Triumph loses next week, and he's out of the race. Frankie Garnett: Glad one of us can figure out the puzzle this has become...

Amelia Williams: Here is your winner, at nineteen minutes and thirty seconds, and your Gamma Division champion...Sean! Frankie Garnett: Yes! That's three grand in the bank for me! Bob Sinclair: I think that neckbreaker is what sealed the deal, ladies and gentlemen...Phoenix suffered a broken neck just over a year ago, and he must have landed the wrong way on that move. Sean sensed it and took advantage. Frankie Garnett: Who cares? Show me the money, baby! Bob Sinclair: It sickens me that you can be to blasé about someone's career nearly being ruined, Frankie. BETA DIVISION: Tarik Nolan (6-6) vs. Robbie Maynard (8-4) Frankie Garnett: So sad, too bad, deal with it! Bob Sinclair: As the referee helps Phoenix out of the ring, here's the scenario for the next match. Nolan needs a boat load of help to take over the wild card. A win over the current holder, Robbie Maynard, will be a step in the right direction. If Maynard wins here, he locks up a playoff spot, and we know that the wild card will be coming from the Beta Division. That would lock up all four playoff spots—British Warrior from the Alpha Division, Sean from the Gamma Division, and either Breaker or Maynard as the Beta Division champ, with the other as the wild card. Frankie Garnett: Wait, the Beta Division isn't decided yet? Bob Sinclair: No. If Breaker wins, it is. As of this moment, though, it's still undecided. Frankie Garnett: Well, let's get to it then! "Regulate" hits the speakers to signify that the next match is about to begin. Amelia Williams: Our next contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first...from Shreveport, Louisiana, weighing 292 pounds...Tarik Nolan! Bob Sinclair: Tarik's looking to play spoiler here—a win here helps both Johnny Triumph and Nuclear Templeton. Frankie Garnett: I'm not going to hold my breath here, Bob. Maynard's dominated so far. The opening guitar riffs of Metallica's "Master of Puppets" hits the speakers as the first participant of the contest comes out. Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Liverpool, England, weighing 251 pounds...Robbie Maynard! Frankie Garnett: Nothing else needs to be said about this guy, Bob. He's one guy I wouldn't want to cross. Bob Sinclair: Coming from you, that's saying something.... Tarik Nolan hit the Headbutt Robbie Maynard moved and the Stomp missed! Robbie Maynard applied the Front Facelock Robbie Maynard hit the Punch Robbie Maynard hit the Elbow Strike Tarik Nolan took the blow, but just shrugs it off and goes on the attack.

All that's left is to determine the seeding! Shawn Arrows (4-8) vs. The British Warrior (8-4) The opening strains of Linkin Park's "Numb" break the silence to announce the entrance of the opponent.

He looks just as confused as I am at the moment. Bob Sinclair: That doesn’t take much. Frankie Garnett: Hey! BETA DIVISION, HARDCORE MATCH: Breaker (9-3) vs. SGRaaize (4-8) <object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP13EI6O1Pw?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></object> Slipknot's "Wait and Bleed" shatters the silence as the newly-crowned Beta Division leader walks towards the ring. Amelia Williams: Ladies and gentlemen, this is our featured contest, a Hardcore Beta Division match scheduled for one fall! Coming down the aisle, weighing 251 pounds...Breaker! Bob Sinclair: If Breaker wins here, he's in the driver's seat. He doesn't lock up the Beta Division just yet, but he would control his own fate next week. A loss puts both him and Robbie Maynard at 9-4 with one week to go, and the tie-breaker would be in Maynard's favor. Frankie Garnett: So we're going to have one division go down to the wire anyway. Nice! A hush falls over the crowd as there is movement at the entryway. The applause begins to build as over a dozen people emerge from backstage, each bearing the flag of Portugal. The opponent finally appears, bringing the crowd to their feet. A moment later, <object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqjdtkWNF60?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></embed></object> A Portugesa—the national anthem of Portugal—begins to play as the crowd of 28,000-plus sing along. The native son walks to the ring, arriving as the song fades to a close and to the deafening cheers of this very partisan crowd. Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Torres Vedras, Portugal, weighing 231 pounds...SGRaaize! Bob Sinclair: In all my years in this sport, Frankie, I have NEVER heard this loud of a reaction for a wrestler! Frankie Garnett: Raaize is going to need the support of every single one of these people to get past the Beta Division leader tonight, Bob! Breaker looks ready to destroy!

Frankie Garnett: I can't hear you, Bob, this crowd is still going bananas!

Bob Sinclair: Desperation move by Raaize there; Breaker had all the momentum in the world! Frankie Garnett: This crowd is trying to get behind Raaize, I'd imagine...I can't make out what they are chanting! Bob Sinclair: Doesn't look like it matters, Frankie, Raaize has gotten up and looks to press the attack again! SGRaaize applied the Camel Clutch The referee checks the submission...

SGRaaize slipped out the back of the Dream Breaker. SGRaaize whips Breaker into the ropes. SGRaaize hit the Twisting Powerslam SGRaaize picks up Breaker. Breaker tastes the Portugal Lariat, and could be on the verge of losing! Crowd (in unison): LAAAAAAARRRIIIAAAAATOOOOOO! Bob Sinclair: Raaize scrambles into the cover! Could it be?!

ShadowedFlames Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 Season One, Week Fourteen September 4, 2010 http://i986.photobucket.com/albums/ae344/ShadowedFlames/GDS%20League%20Stuff/BeyondRingsideBanner.jpg Hello once again, League fans! Tori Montgomery here, and as we enter the final week of the regular season, we know who is in the playoffs. We do not know the seeding yet, that will be determined this week in Mexico. Even though the final four are locked in, let's take a look at the standings and see where things could go from here! SEASON STANDINGS AFTER WEEK THIRTEEN ALPHA DIVISION y-1. The British Warrior (8-5, 2.38 / D match rating) 2. Nuclear Templeton (7-6, 4.15 / C match rating) 3. Maxx Skabb (5-8, 5.15 / C+ match rating) 4. The Phoenix (3-10, 5.54 / B- match rating) y-Denotes Divisional Champion BETA DIVISION x-1. Robbie Maynard (9-4, 4.69 / C+ match rating) x-2. Breaker (9-4, 4.46 / C match rating) 3. Tarik Nolan (6-7, 3.77 / C match raing) 4. SGRaaize (5-8, 3.46 / C- match rating) x-Denotes a clinched playoff berth Tie-breaker, as the season series is split 1-1, is divisional record. Maynard has a 4-1 divisional, Breaker is at 3-2. GAMMA DIVISION y-1. Sean (8-5, 4.08 / C match rating) 2. Johnny Triumph (7-6, 5.31 / C+ match rating) 3. Diamond (6-7, 5.69 / B- match rating) 4. Shawn Arrows (5-8, 4.54 / C+ match rating) y-Denotes Divisional Champion THE HUNT FOR SEPTEMBER: THE PLAYOFF CHASE THE FINAL FOUR Beta Division (#1 Seed): Robbie Maynard (9-4, 4-1 Beta Division, 4.69 Match Rating) * Maynard holds the tie-breaker over Breaker due to a better divisional record. * BETA CLINCH SCENARIO: Robbie Maynard win. ALSO: Robbie Maynard loss AND Breaker loss. Maynard controls his fate, and has a little insurance to fall back on in case he does lose next week. * Final opponent: SGRaaize (5-8) Gamma Division (#2 Seed): Sean (8-5, 3-2 Gamma Division, 4.08 Match Rating) * Diamond's loss, and his win, was enough to give him the Divisional Championship. Sean has defeated the Alpha Division Champion this season, and holds the tiebreaker. * Final opponent: Diamond (6-7) Alpha Division (#3 Seed): The British Warrior (8-5, 5-0 Alpha Division, 2.38 Match Rating) * With his win, and tie-breaker over Templeton, Warrior clinches the Alpha Division and is going to the playoffs. * Final opponent: Maxx Skabb (5-8) Wild Card (#4 Seed): Breaker (9-4, 3-2 Beta Division, 4.46 Match Rating) * Breaker's still in the Beta Division hunt, but at worst he is guaranteed the #4 seed. * BETA CLINCH SCENARIO: Breaker win ANDRobbie Maynard loss. This is the only way Breaker can win the Beta Division. * Final opponent: Tarik Nolan (6-7) WHAT IF...? Given the schedules, it is entirely possible for all four playoff-bound wrestlers to end up with a 9-5 record. That leads to a simple question: who would get the top seed in that scenario? That's what we're about to figure out, ladies and gentlemen. In this scenario, disregarding match ratings for the time being, we first have to figure out who has the Beta Division won. As Maynard holds the tie-breaker in this (a hypothetical 4-2 divisional record versus Breaker's 3-3), Breaker is eliminated from this discussion and is the wild card. (So far: #1—TBD, #2—TBD, #3—TBD, #4—Breaker) We now go to Head-to-Head, comparing each wrestler's record against the other two. Warrior: Lost to Maynard (week 6), lost to Sean (week 8): 0-2 record. Maynard: Lost to Sean (week 5), def. Warrior (week 6): 1-1 record. Sean: Def. Maynard (week 5), Def. Warrior (week 8): 2-0 record. Sean, by this virtue, gets the #1 seed. (So far: #1—Sean, #2—TBD, #3—TBD, #4—Breaker) The tie for the #2 is simpler. As noted above, Maynard defeated Warrior, so he claims the #2 seed, and Warrior slips to #3. That would make the seeding as follows: #1—Sean #2—Robbie Maynard #3—British Warrior #4—Breaker Keep in mind that this is a hypothetical situation, this may not even come up if the results come in different from what is proposed here. NEWS AND NOTES CHANGES IN POPULARITY—WESTERN EUROPE 1. SGRaaize: 24 -> 26.9940 2. Sean: 15 -> 20.6465 3. Johnny Triumph: 15 -> 19.0827 4. The Phoenix: 15 -> 18.1535 5. Robbie Maynard: 15 -> 17.2492 6. Shawn Arrows: 15 -> 15.0695 7. Breaker: 15 -> 14.9703 8. Tarik Nolan: 15 -> 14.1192 9. Maxx Skabb: 12 -> 12.8460 10. Nuclear Templeton: 12 -> 11.9747 11. British Warrior: 15 -> 11.8805 12. Diamond: 15 -> 11.8253 PREDICTION CENTRAL For the first time all season, I actually win the weekly award with five correct. I'm as shocked as you all are, I know. With now-former second place holder Mr. SeanMcG being absent this week, Miss moon_lit_tears extends her led to three points over the new runner-up, Mr. Derek_b. Here are the season standings after Week Thirteen: 1. moon_lit_tears: 48 points 2. derek_b: 45 points 3. SeanMcG: 42 points (tie) 4. Prophet, Tori Montgomery: 40 points 6. masterded: 31 points 7. I effin rule: 24 points (tie) 8. Jaded, Wrestling Century: 7 points 10. MichiganHero: 6 points 11. Zeel1: 4 points Monerrey, Mexico hosts the League in the final regular season week, and is mainly a show for pride only. Only the top four have anything to fight about, and of those four only two really have something to prove as they try to win the Beta Division. WEEK FOURTEEN: MONTERREY, MEXICO (SOUTH EAST MEXICO) (Spot Monkey match, Martinetes are illegal, ref bumps are allowed) ALPHA DIVISION, CAGE MATCH: The Phoenix (3-10, 15%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (6-7, 15%) This is going to be payback, pure and simple. Nuclear decapitates Phoenix for costing him a playoff berth before escaping the cage. Tori's Prediction: Nuclear Templeton, via escape, 5:10, F GAMMA DIVISION: Johnny Triumph (7-6, 15%) vs. Shawn Arrows (5-8, 15%) Arrows is fighting for pride, and with Triumph out of the playoffs I think he'll be a bit deflated. Arrows in a minor upset. Tori's Prediction: Shawn Arrows, via pinfall (Slingshot Leg Drop), 8:10, D ALPHA DIVISION: The British Warrior (8-5, 15%) vs. Maxx Skabb (5-8, 15%) Warrior does his part to make the magic "everyone 9-5" scenario possible. Tori's Prediction: British Warrior, via submission (Figure Four Leglock), 8:20, D GAMMA DIVISION: Diamond (6-7, 24%) vs. Sean (8-5, 6%) Diamond evens her record behind the strength of her inexplicable popularity in Mexico. Tori's Prediction: Diamond, via pinfall (Diamond in the Sky), 7:40, C- BETA DIVISION: Breaker (9-4, 15%) vs. Tarik Nolan (6-7, 15%) Breaker wins in a close one, and forces Maynard into a "must-win" scenario. Tori's Prediction: Breaker, via pinfall (Dream Breaker), 12:50, C+ BETA DIVISION: Robbie Maynard (9-4, 12%) vs. SGRaaize (5-8, 6%) Maynard's been under pressure most of the season. Nothing new here. Maynard wins and locks up the Beta Division in the final match of the regular season. Tori's Prediction: Robbie Maynard, via submission (Merseyside Maul), 5:20, F Until next time, when we're playoff-bound, this is Tori Montgomery...so long from ringside! WEEK FOURTEEN: MONTERREY, MEXICO (Southeastern Mexico) ALPHA DIVISION, CAGE MATCH: The Phoenix (3-10, 15%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (6-7, 15%) GAMMA DIVISION: Johnny Triumph (7-6, 15%) vs. Shawn Arrows (5-8, 15%) ALPHA DIVISION: The British Warrior (8-5, 15%) vs. Maxx Skabb (5-8, 15%) GAMMA DIVISION: Diamond (6-7, 24%) vs. Sean (8-5, 6%) BETA DIVISION: Breaker (9-4, 15%) vs. Tarik Nolan (6-7, 15%) BETA DIVISION: Robbie Maynard (9-4, 12%) vs. SGRaaize (5-8, 6%) NOTE: Pages will be updated tomorrow.

"Damn you Diamond, your suckiness cost me .0253 popularity in Europe! I'll get you for this... next season!! :mad:" I still can't believe Nuclear was 6-1 at one point and managed to end up not qualifying for the playoffs. Very ouch. I'd also like to sue the Portuguese nation for stealing "LAAAAAARRRRIAAAAAATOOOOOOO!" from Nuclear, that's not cool! Even if Nuclear's does suck now. ALPHA DIVISION, CAGE MATCH: The Phoenix (3-10, 15%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (6-7, 15%) GAMMA DIVISION: Johnny Triumph (7-6, 15%) vs. Shawn Arrows (5-8, 15%) ALPHA DIVISION: The British Warrior (8-5, 15%) vs. Maxx Skabb (5-8, 15%) GAMMA DIVISION: Diamond (6-7, 24%) vs. Sean (8-5, 6%) BETA DIVISION: Breaker (9-4, 15%) vs. Tarik Nolan (6-7, 15%) BETA DIVISION: Robbie Maynard (9-4, 12%) vs. SGRaaize (5-8, 6%) I'd also like to point out that my predictions in no way represent my desire to beat MLT in the predictions standings by trying to make up 3 points by choosing almost entirely the opposite of what she's picking. I'd never be that petty, going against my own instincts just to try and win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowedFlames Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 Pages have been updated, folks. ALSO: I have a request for everyone not in the playoffs this season. When you send in your training for this week, I'd like to ask that you make a list of the top three people (who are not in the playoffs) you'd like to team with for an exhibition tag match or two during the playoff show. I'm definitely doing an 8-man elimination tag, and I'm toying with the idea of separate tag matches during the show as well. I'll set up teams from the results and that will be added to the playoff show. As a quick reference, here's the list of those not making the playoffs this season: Nuclear Templeton Tarik Nolan Johnny Triumph Diamond Maxx Skabb SGRaaize Shawn Arrows The Phoenix This concludes this broadcast of the League Messaging System.

Derek B Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 LARIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I marked like a bitch Fun fact: In my house I'm the official judge of whether a move is a clothesline or a LARIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! My word is also final. My brain is currently being amused by the idea of Nuclear and SG heading into a lariat competition. Next season I think we have to make it happen during a show.

MetalGear_Yoshi Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Hi guys, sorry to post off topic but this is the only thread relating to WreSpi 2 that isn't dead and just wanted to ask if anyone can up a link for the "Brawl for All" mod by Socko? It's the only real life mod that's set in modern times that seems good, DOTT is great but I've really got a hankering for some Kurt Angle action. Thanks for any help and again, sorry for posting off topic but asking in the mods section is a guarantee of a long wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGRaaize Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Fun fact: In my house I'm the official judge of whether a move is a clothesline or a LARIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! My word is also final. I swear to god, they're so hard to judge sometimes Clothesline = Wrestler runs, arm stands still, the stationary arm almost decapitates the opponent Lariat = Wrestler runs, and the arm is "thrown" to jab the opponent's neck, not only is the wrestler running but the arm also "jabs" the neck, double impact and thus a LARIAAAATOOOOOOOOOOO~~~~~ The thing is, when someone is making a clothesline, he can do both without caring, thinking that they're both the same thing, and that's what causes confusion My brain is currently being amused by the idea of Nuclear and SG heading into a lariat competition. Next season I think we have to make it happen during a show.
