five sledgehammers to win

The rumored WWE e-fed fantasy game turned out to be your run of the mill Fantasy Sports League. $10 to enter for eight weeks of game play. Winner gets a belt.

hahahahaha ten dollars hahahaha FOR A BELT hahahahaha (and yet…I have too much money in my pocket if I’m even considering it)

I think the WWE name could make a nice percentage profit (it’s $250 belt – they get 500 people, they’re fine), but I don’t think it’s going amount to much. It blows my mind that Stats, Inc. is involved in this, which doesn’t say much for what I think of WWE I guess.

The Point Scoring System is HERE, but I’ll steal the important stuff.

RAW/Smackdown
Appearance: 3
Match: 5
Win: 7

Heat/Velocity
Match: 2
Win: 3

(that’s 2 and 3 points more than they’re really worth)

PPVs
Match: 8
Win: 12

All Shows
Win a Title: 20
Retain a Title: 13
Finishing Move: 5
Finishing Move Kick Out: 3
Foreign Object Shot: 3
Final Match: 3
Disqualification: -4
Suspension: -10

They’re using a salary cap system to limit rosters. Start the countdown to the first comment in the Torch about people complaining their salary is too low compared to someone (or, optionally, making hilarious comments about how they wish they really WERE paid that high.) I’d think it would’ve been better if they created some groups to limit your choices, but I’d thought it’d be wise to give away free to show that it actually works too and they didn’t ask me about that one. They don’t have the salaries up yet, but if someone spies ’em and would feel like passing them along…

It goes without saying that this is completely vulnerable to manipulation. I have no idea why they’d bother but it is.

My big curiosity is trying to put together a scouting report for this – running point totals for an equal eight weeks. You know I have the data, you know I have the insanity for the irrelevance. Time might be another matter.

(My smaller curiosity is seeing if I could do that myself and if I’m below the radar enough not to get a message from the WWE legal team. I’m supposed to be doing other mySQL things tho’.)

This means they’ll actually have to publicize C-level guy’s finishers, right? I’ll get to find out if Maven is using the missile dropkick or the second rope bulldog? I think I win.

MEL KIPER SLEEPER: Mark Jindrak. You can bank on getting 10 points a week, each and every week. Too bad there’s no one stuck on the B-Show treadmill now that’s using a foreign object weekly to win. Evil Godfather hitting people with a cane as his finisher would be unbelivable.
