Just wondering would it be possible to defer my match? My Granddad passed away Monday morning and it's going to be a long week.

Firstly sorry about the loss mate, hope your doing ok.

I can defer your match until the end of teh fisrt round (once theres no objections, which I cant imagine there being). Ill contact you when your match is up later in the week.

Sorry to hear about your grandpop mrk. I've no problem at all deferring the match my man, family comes first over all else obviously. You look after your parents and yourself.

CastorTroy

Sorry to hear it mrk.


Just looking for clarification on my question, bj: the line where it says "to have an angle in either WWE", should there be another option or is "either" there by mistake? Probably go with WWE anyway but just want to be sure. And can we go with celebs who have appeared but not had an official match?

Typo, was going to include TNA but decided against it.

A bit of line spacing aside your asnwer is perfectly fine.... Now you can attack your opponents point (and vice versa he can attack yours...)

Sorry about that Joe, I tend to write all in one burst whenever I'm posting something.

Read the celeb question and immediately thankful I dodged that one. Can't for the life of me think of a good celeb involvement I could book

Its a tricky one alright but one with a lot of scope and with the right creativity a celeb angle can be as entertaining as any with the right booking.

beakerjoe

Great answers in the first match with BH and SWWY, its very tight vote at the minute....

Stereomaniac

I wasn't able to separate one from the other so I abstained from voting in the match so far.

Nothing wrong with that.

Stereomaniac

Do I just wait for Mr. Nice Guy to come on and respond to my post that I made yesterday evening?

Imnotthehulk

This might be a silly question ... but is it okay for me to go first? Or should I wait till after CasterTroy puts up his answer?

His name is first, so I'd let him go first

Him going first gives you the advantage of getting the last word

That's what I was thinking, with his name first he probably goes first. I have mine written, so hopefully he won't pick my celeb!

Bounty Hunter

It does not matter who's name is first. You can get the advantage SWWY noted but then again for some questions you may want to go first so that you get your chosen answer for example if SWWY had gone first he may have picked Sheamus vs Warrior (not really suggesting you would have) and then i'd have to come up with another plan.

Imnotthehulk

Cheers, put my first one up so.

Stereomaniac

I was a bit unsure about that as well. Still unsure about whether or not I answered this properly.

CastorTroy

Tough one I'm still trying to think of an answer for

Hashtag_HEEL

Fair play to imnotthehulk, for some reason Evans was the first person to jump out at me too. Not necessarily in a tag or with Rusev but still looking forward to see the other answer

Sorry for your loss

Stereomaniac

As I said earlier mrkiscool, and I think I speak for everyone here, if you need to talk, call us.

brianregan09

Another great post MNG voting will be tough on this one


also mrkiscool I'm really sorry for you're loss

Stereomaniac

It won't be that hard to vote in this one, Mr. Nice Guy is very good at this! See what happens sure.

beakerjoe

Poll added to Stereo v MNG

Oh man what a F'n question in the latest match between TSC and gerrybbadd! So many possibilities, a truly inspired question with lots of scope. Looking forward to this one!

Its one I got last year, and there was loads to choose from. Mainly because WWE gives up on so much so quickly

Stereomaniac

Going to have a look now. These threads have become great time-killers for me the last while.

I wish i had time to kill.... Im up to my eye balls and cant do any of the stuff I want. I envy you.

Imnotthehulk

That was a good debate between Stereomaniac and MNG ... I thought it was going to be a much easier decision to make, until I read through it all.

A good debater can make a great arguement with the right eye for knit picking anothers answer, even one that you didnt agree with at first.

Stereomaniac

My mornings are free and my evenings are when I work. I gave this my best shot when possible.

gerrybbadd

Got my reply to the question in early. There's so much potential with that question!

Stereomaniac

I look forward to reading these. I thought that the question I got was hard, this is even harder!

Will reply later on, but yours was the one that jumped straight to mind. Do have another though so looking forward to this one :P

Stereomaniac

Poor Ken Anderson. He really got shafted. I heard him being interviewed before, Orton is weird.

brianregan09

Fantastic question , I feel with all the others so far i came up with an answer fairly quick but I'm struggling on this one

beakerjoe

A great voter turn out so far, match 1 has had 23 votes so far and match 3 has had 13 so far with a poll only recently added.

Just to check, whats the time limit on this? I'm sorry its taking so long to respond, just wanted to check if I had to do it tonight, or if I can work on it tonight and post it in the morning.

JP Liz V1

I'm taking CastorTroy's spot so please bear with me and apologies for delay, that is one hell of an opener from Imnotthehulk

CastorTroy

Yeah, I'm dropping out since I don't think I'd be able to devote enough time, especially if I got through since be cut off from the web a few times over the next week or 2. So decided to get out now and give someone else a chance.

But yeah, I was thinking of the comic hero route as well but couldn't think of one that could be used. I'll give my planned idea after Liz posts. But Imnotthehulk made a good post.

Thanks beakerjoe for the question and organising anyway and Liz for taking my place. I'm sure you'll do me proud.

Omackeral

This storyline writes itself. Liz goes on an amazing run and goes and wins the whole tournament. Then a spiteful CastorTroy returns out of nowhere and batters her declaring himself the Real World's Champion. They face off in a title vs title match, winner is undisputed champion.

CastorTroy

Spoilers!

Stereomaniac

In some cyber-verse that is all being played out to a packed house with an audience of thousands!

Imnotthehulk

Sorry to see CasterTroy go .... but JP Liz certainly put up a great answer.

I have to say, it does feel quite a bit .... mean.... trying to rip holes in someone else's answer!

beakerjoe

Well with castor Gone, JP Liz is now in against ImnottheHulk..... so have at it you guys,

Same question so its now up to JP Liz to answer her side.

Connamara Man is the next Reserve.

Not really time limit once you intend on answering and have made contact that your delayed

beakerjoe

Ok I really should look at the match threads before here. Liz has gone ahead and taken her place and Lord TSC has got his answer in.

Congrats to Bounty Hunter as he is teh first Q/Finalist as he beat SureWhyWouldntYa in a good battle which should have been tighter in my opinion.

My match with Hashtag is up next and Bounty Hunter shall be posting that question, work load permitting. It will begin when one of the on going matches has its replies and poll up.
