    We ended up doing 2 pools last year cause there were so many people.....looks like it might be needed again, not that i'm volunteering to do it or anything!


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


    I'll have to do a final count up but I believe gimmick will be the last entrant. Mr. Nice Guy can also have my spot for the great idea he had with the draft. I will post a list of the 30 entrants later on.

    Apologies to those that missed out but with 5 weeks to go, if someone was to organise it, setting up another pool would be a realistic option.

    For those that our entered in the pool, please PM me if you would like to donate a prize (big or small). The more prizes, the more fun. It will be hard to outdo last years but please make the effort if you can spare bits and bobs.

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


    Just a quick update as I have been out and about in the last week. Again due to work commitments, the draw will be made early this week, most likely before Sunday. Prizes will also be announced at the same time too.

    Therefore for the final time, if anyone would be willing to donate anything please PM me by Friday.

    We have some good prizes but in term of quantity of things donated so far, we are way down on last year. So PM me if you are willing to donate (and post!) something for a particular category.

    Ric Flair and the 4 Horsemen dvd (only playable on a computer)

    Many thanks to Machismo Fan and Edk for donating these prizes.

    2. Rey Mysterio award- the participant who lasts the longest

    Many thanks to Kane-N-Nite for donating the prize.

    That's probably it. There may be a novelty prize for the participant who lasts the least longest but that will be announced closer to the time of the Rumble if it ends up happening. So that's it. Best of luck to everyone.

    Its region 1 basically will play on region free or hacked dvd players and computers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked


    Statistically Gimmick has the best chance of winning being on number 27.

    I, on the other hand, having 12 means im quite middle of the road.
    No one has ever won that came out in the number 12 spot...
    In fact the closest was Jim Duggan in 1988, and that was at number 13...

    I have a feeling this year is my year!! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,511 ✭✭✭chips1234


    hmm i dont think it'll #30 winning 2 years in a row ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,316 ✭✭✭✭amacachi

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    RebelRockChick is the luckiest member of the board so I reckon she stands a good chance. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,454 ✭✭✭slicus ricus


    Number 1! I guess i'm relying on Trips to draw number one and prevail against all the odds!

    It would be kinda Slightly funny if Kane-N-Nite got.... Kane. :pac:

    Cheers MNG :) but knowing my luck in this, I could end up getting Goldust again as I did a few years ago :pac:

    No. 6, same number I had last year...which was John Morrison, so maybe whoever it is this year might do a bit better.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,785 ✭✭✭Kane-N-Nite

    It happened last year......


    2 in a row?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,908 ✭✭✭Daysha

    Number 2 over here. Be prepared for HBK to start the Rumble with Trips and toss his sorry ass over the top rope :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 907 ✭✭✭AlphaMale 3OO


    19 is not too shabby.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,732 ✭✭✭Reganio 2


    Number 4. Fairly crappy number but sure its all good fun.
    Now for the stats :D

    Nobody has ever won coming from the 4th entrant. Flair won in 92 from number 3 and Austin won in 97 from number 5.

    The Great Khali entered last year at number 4 and was the 2nd man eliminated after just over a minute in the ring.

    The Rock is the best entrant at number 4 in 98 lasting 51 minutes and then being eliminated last by winner Austin.

    So number 4 is quite split then! :p

    It has been brought to my attention that Bull Buchanan has been banned permanently from the site.

    Therefore, there will be a surprise participant announced by me in this years pool!!

    Stay tuned.
