Royal Rumble Pool (May contain spoilers)

    It was a bit of fun the last 2 years, so I thought why not do it again?

    For those that are new it works like this: we get thirty participants (if out of a lack of numbers we can have 15 participants with each participant getting 2 wrestlers or if we are only a little short the first that say there in, might get 2 but we'll see how it goes) from the board, and each participant is assigned a number. You are represented by the wrestler that comes out to that number. For example, if you get #7, and the seventh entrant in the Rumble is William Regal, that's your guy. And if Regal wins the Rumble, you are the big winner.

    How to enter: just respond to this thread saying something to the effect "I'll participate."

    As for deciding the draw, I'm willing to do the draw in a week or so and post the results on the board.

    Winner gets the respect and love of all the wrestling board posters (and possibly the cheapest wrestling related item on ebay I can find!)

    We only have 30 spots and 3 are already filled:

    Me
    Rebel Rock Chick
    Fozzy (as mod, I'm assuming he's in but if not he can let me know)

    So join now!~!

    Sorry we're at 30. Apologies to any of the other people who usually post that missed out.

    I'll have the draw up by the weekend.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    I'm just gonna troll and get someone banned.
    Can I get in if it works?

    Sure.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    Sure.
    Sweet.
    BTW, Ruu, your favourite wrestler sucks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,059 ✭✭✭Kid Nothing


    that's gotta be the quickest bunch of replies i've ever seen, 30 in 2 hours......dammit, my study is getting in the way of all the good things lately!

    Dammit, too late!

    And to think, my poor old grandmother is lying in a hospital bed, barely holding on to life, and I missed this because I was up visiting her, and she told me that the one thing she wants to see before she goes is me to win a wrestling-based internet pool, and then she can pass on in peace.

    Oh well, better go tell her the bad news........


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,045 ✭✭✭Vince135792003


    If someone else wanted to make another one up for the people that missed out, you'd get another 30 I'd imagine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,943 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    balls :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,972 ✭✭✭orestes


    Sounds like a good idea, I'll start a second thread and see if I can get enough people. Anyone who is interested and didn't get to this one in time just head on over there!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,594 ✭✭✭Fozzy


    Then have the two winners face off at the WM main event

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,045 ✭✭✭Vince135792003


    By the way if anyone has any wrestling related prizes (the cheaper and cheesier the better) they'd like to offer up, PM me.

    Otherwise Fozzy just PM'ed me saying he would take the winner out for an all expenses paid meal. Just kidding!~!

    But seriously, if anyone does have anything, PM me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,815 ✭✭✭Charlie


    The second pool - The TNA of Rumble pools.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,767 ✭✭✭Minto


    For FUCK sake! I'm really pissed off I missed this. I was thinking earlier it was about time we saw this thread pop up again.

    dont worry there is a gay 2nd version of it doing the rounds. and now i dont mean gay in a derogitory way cos whats wrong with being gay, i just mean that all the people in that thread suck balls. (in your face MNG:D)

    Wow controversial. Very brave from your uber-ghey thread!:) We are the cool kids sitting down at the back of the bus wearing HBK shirts to your nerdy kids sitting at the front wearing John Cena action t-shirts shouting "you can't see me"

    Let the war of the threads erupt!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,972 ✭✭✭orestes


    At least us over on the other thread can count, with the three people entered in the first post the people who entered in the twenty ninth and thirtieth post here haven't got spaces. Don't worry though, we will welcome them over on the other thread with open arms!

    hmm i feel a banning coming on (for me, as ive been drinking and someone has asked for a thread war) so ill leave this alone though considering how few of you guys there are in thread 2 id consider you guys more aptly fitting the special kids that have their own bus boards.ie's very own eugenes.

    But there were two posts by myself and Vince so those last two people are included. I'll correct the name of the other thread, "pool" seems to attract people faster than "poll"!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,972 ✭✭✭orestes


    D'oh! See, this is why I shouldn't try to be a smart arse, I always end up with considerably more arse than smart. And evidently can't spell either, cheers for fixing it!
