CBR's Wrestling Fantasy League - April Picks (Deadline 3/31)

[Brandon Hanvey]

Welcome to CBR's Wrestling Fantasy League (WFL).

How the WFL works:

You pick 10 wrestlers/wrestling personalities. Your picks are in place once the month starts. Picks are not locked up if someone else picks them before you. I will be playing as well, though I can not win.

During the month, I will be scoring points for WWE RAWs, Smackdowns, and PPVs. For the month of April, there are 5 RAWs, 4 Smackdowns, and 2 PPVs (Wrestlemania on 04.01 and Extreme Rules on 04.29) for 11 total scheduled events.

Picks can be made/edited until 3/31/12 11:59 PM (PST).

The person with the highest total at end of the month wins their choice of a wrestling related digital sketch from me.

How the points are awarded:

Television live appearance (+3)
Television featured promo (+2)
Television featured fight (+2)
Television match intervention (+2)
Television match (+5)
Television win (+7)
Television loss (-2)

All Shows: Get a pin/submission (+1)
All Shows: Get pinned/submitted (-1)
All Shows: Win a battle royal type match (+5)

PPV match intervention (+4)
PPV match (+8)
PPV win (+12)
PPV loss (-6)

This is going to be the hardest one yet, because new storylines start post mania.
:-(

[darthjoker]

yep, I am thinking as hard as last month. (Feb). February had no PPV. April starts with a PPV. and as Alex said, storylines will start the monday after mania, or maybe on Smackdown. So safe bets for WM will not necessarily be good for the rest of the month. Rock, Taker, HBK, HHH, will probably give no points after WM.
Will have to think hard as I did last month. (which seems its starting to pay off).

[BeastieRunner]

1. John Cena
2. Sheamus
3. CM Punk
4. Lord Tensai
5. Alberto del Rio
6. Randy Orton
7. Big Show
8. Cody Rhodes
9. Daniel Bryan
10. Chris Jericho

Might change it ... not sure.

Also, why can't we edit on Saturday, the 31st?

EDIT: Finalized. Tatsu is too much a wild card for me as is Mysterio. Tensai and Rio feel like better dark horses.

[Brandon Hanvey]

Also, why can't we edit on Saturday, the 31st?

Whoops mess up there and typed 30th. Yes you can edit until the end of Saturday.

[BeastieRunner]

No problem. I'm kinda glad because maybe by Saturday we'll get better ideas on what will happen post Mania.

[Brandon Hanvey]

Basically going with what I think might happen at WM. But after that, it is a stab in the dark about who they push to the next PPV at the end of the month.

AJ Lee
Big Show
CM Punk
David Otunga
Dolph Ziggler
Drew McIntyre
John Cena
Mark Henry
Randy Orton
Sheamus

[chicainery]

1 - CM Punk
2 - The Miz
3 - Dolph Ziggler
4 - Daniel Bryan
5 - Sheamus
6 - Chris Jericho
7 - Cody Rhodes
8 - John Cena
9 - Undertaker ( I haven't picked him yet, but he's a favorite of mine)
10 - Randy Orton

[Alex]

Going mainly with my Mania picks and a few assuming what happens after mania picks.
1. John Cena.
2. Chris Jericho
3. Dolph Ziggler (Risky!)
4. Cody Rhodes (RISKY!!!)
5. Sheamus
6. ADR
7. AJ
8. Randy Orton
9. Mark Henry
10. Daniel Bryan (I think he's losing the belt, but i will even out the lose by also picking Sheamus, i don't think Bryan is going away after mania.)

[darthjoker]

I really don't know who to pick this month. WM will give lots of points but I dont know if after it they will give points or will be like Jericho who gave almost no points the first months.
So with that in mind:

1. John Cena.
2. Randy Orton
3. CM Punk
4. Santino Marella
5. Cody Rhodes
6. Zack Ryder
7. Daniel Bryan
8. Sheamus
9. Theodore Long
10. John Laurinitis

I was going to include eve but I am not sure, if they will give her something to do or not.
