WWE Game XVI: RAW Vol. 3

[slashsfro]

Sheamus

[AtariLegend]

Bryan Danielson

Here's hoping he get's that US Title run...

[Gnrfan]

Well i definitely think the strongest 5 picks are the 5 we have had. Some solid drafting i'd say.

Gotta pick a solid two out of 5 picks here to stand a chance of repeating!

There is one pick i really want so hoping that D doesn't take him.... or her!

[D]

So tough and so easy to second guess with all the talent available.

Im gonna play it safe however, cause like last game.. u miss on ur first pick, u lose.


So let's go with

Kofi Kingston

[MizDisaster]

Bryan Danielson

Here's hoping he get's that US Title run...

Yeah lets all hope he does... He is getting that title.

________________________________________________________________________

Jim: The Miz  ( Great Solid Pick, he seems to pop up on all the shows, hopefully for you he cashes in the case)
Hammy: John Cena (Having just had his title seen ruined by NXT the only way I see him in a title fued is with Barret)
Evolution: Randy Orton (I dont know how WWE sells him as a face but it's working, Can see a short title reigin on him,
slashsfro: Sheamus (If he can get through the 6 pack challenge with the belt I think he could be the best pick)
AtariLegend: Daniel Bryan ( bias aside for this pick to really payoff he needs that US Belt from Miz)
D: Kofi Kingston (Having just lost the IC after holding it awhile makes me think this is over rated. 1st guy from SD? Do you have something against Dolph?)

[D]

yeah i dont have much for Dolph. my strategy is to get an active guy.. the ole Chris Benoit strategy..someone who will consistently wrestle and win week to week and make it on PPV. Kofi doesn't have a belt currently but he is consistent pts week after week plus he isn't a "promo" guy so u don't have a lot of non wrestling appearances.

[Gnrfan]

Hmmm i wanted Kofi.

I'll take Edge and on the basis that i think he'll get PPV points

[D]

 i was between Edge and Kofi

Isent Scotta messages on FB so he  should pick in the next bit.

my 2nd pick is gonna be an interesting one also... so many directions to  go with these 8person games.

[Hammy]

Hammy: John Cena (Having just had his title seen ruined by NXT the only way I see him in a title fued is with Barret)

Injuries aside, I don't think we've ever had a game where he has completely bombed, he is generally a consistent scorer, since even without a title he gets put in matches where he earns a ton of points, from being made to wrestle multiple times in one night to chalking up elimination points in battle royals etc.  I view him as a safe pick.  As D highlighted though, its about having a good team throughout.  I mean last game Gnrfan had the 1st, 2nd and 5th highest scoring wrestlers, I don't think anyone has ever picked a team that perfect, mathmatically speaking.  (Not to boost his ego)

[slashsfro]

I came really close to picking Kofi Kingston.  He seems like he is on every week (more than once sometimes) and always gets on PPV even if it's the first match.  You know he'll be in the IC chase/or US Title run and that means some title points down the line.  Picked Shaemus cause he has the belt and I see a feud with HHH whenever he comes back or a long Orton feud.  Cena is tied up with Nexus and won't be in the title picture (at least not for the short term).

I drafted awful the last game so I took that into consideration too.  Several of the guys I picked got "future endeavored."  It's good practice for my fantasy football draft next week.

[D]

id love to see how that team of mine that set margin of victory record stacked up against Gnrfans.

[Hammy]

One thing to remember with Kofi Kingston is he chalked up a lot being a "Pro" on NXT often wrestling twice in a week, with the season coming to an end, thats gone.

[Gnrfan]

Hammy: John Cena (Having just had his title seen ruined by NXT the only way I see him in a title fued is with Barret)

I mean last game Gnrfan had the 1st, 2nd and 5th highest scoring wrestlers, I don't think anyone has ever picked a team that perfect, mathmatically speaking.  (Not to boost his ego)

Why thank you Hammy. I'd like to thank all my fans and fellow professionals.... and obviously the writing team in WWE. Those $5 bills i sent them really worked out for me.

Cena is safe as houses he'll be a top 6 scorer every game, unless he goes and makes a film.

EDIT: I'm assuming i have to wait 48 hours before its my pick as Scotta has two picks right?

[scotta75]

CM Punk and John Morrison 

[D]

damn next pick is gonna be rough
i got 3 on my radar. so ill get one
