Going to be an interesting round. Had the most trouble with the Mea Young Classic question. Remember watching a bit of that tournament but I couldn't remember anyone involved.

Came up with an awesome answer for "Name a Wrestler who won a non title singles tournament". If someone else guesses my answer I'll eat my hat

Evil Vito

Some of these questions have some overlap to them but A) I like the strategy element of it, like in the last game you could've used the same person for WWF and WCW defector if you wanted, and B) had no better ideas.

Ok, maybe two or three are wrong.

Same. I don't think I did well. I will probably do well if he does do an ECW one. I don't usually watch the modern tournaments.

Vito, this can mean a King of the Ring winner right? cause i'm thinking isn't King of the Ring technically a title they get when they win it. But you mean like Championship Belts, right?

Evil Vito
05-17-2018, 04:27 PM
Right. I nearly made the question non-title, non-KOTR but some of them would be so obscure I left it title only.

Same here and picking the Godfather for Brawl For All, took me way out of the game, besides that it was ones across the board
