Going to be a good round. Feeling good about it but the last question might do me in.

I also gave the name of the person or stabal for said question. Not sure if I needed to or not but it should make it easier for you when you go to score.

I like my chances. Just know, I went with Territories. Lots. and Lots. of Territories.

I gambled and answered the same person for 2 separate questions.

Made my selections at 630am, laying naked in bed.


Just so you're all aware .

So we can rememebr the questions.

Did the same, hopefully not the same person.

I think I did really well this round.

The temptation of doing this when I first wake up is hard... but I will refrain!

I think I sucked the big one here.

I went too obvious with a few. Don't expect to do well.

NWO works for every answer (probably not)

That was tough and I put more thought into this one that any so far. Can't wait for the results!

Think I did well. Not sure if it will be good enough to repeat as champion though.

Sticky this mods

this will be interesting

Entered my picks..... didn't always go with the first answer that popped in my head this time, either......

Probably not gonna do well anyways.

Me too. I don't look stuff up like STD does. What a cheater.

STD should have +5 automatically.

Yeah, wikipedia's been kinda slow lately.

Lies all lies.

Woooo post the results!

I feel like I might stand a chance here.

Vito..... we are all eagerly anticipating the results!

It's my birthday! I demand results!

Happy birthday Gertie!

It's like sex, a huge build up and a fraction of a second of bliss.

I think I flunked.

Notes from the official scorer:

I was looking at stables over their entire history, including name changes, etc. and that led to a few interesting rulings.

The biggest ball ache for this was the Corporation/Ministry of Darkness/Corporate Ministry. For example, the question on multiple leaders. Both the Corporation (Vince, Shane), and Corporate Ministry (Vince, Shane, Undertaker) are correct on their own.

The Ministry of Darkness officially only ever had Taker as their leader, but the stable was still considered to be intact when they briefly merged into the Corporate Ministry, and they stayed together again for a bit after that ended. So I marked it as correct but docked an extra point as though it was in the Corporate Ministry pool.

I wasn't gonna count Team Xtreme for a reuniting stable, until I remembered Matt Hardy's really short lived heel turn in late 2001 before the group reunited.

I'm guessing Team Flawless is meant to be LayCool? Yes they Freebird Rule'd the Divas title but they were a tag team, not a stable (3+ members).

A search for Evolution Freebird Rule brought up nothing. Flair and Baitista had a couple of title reigns - wasn't about to read a bunch of 2004 Raw results though to see if Orton or Triple H filled in on a title defense. Open to changing this but it's not going to change the winners or anything.

I didn't do terrible, but my wrong answer on the Free Bird rule question fucked me.

FUCK YES! The moment where you see your name at the top of the list... *POINTS TO MAIN SIGN* Big Vic, there can be only one.

Who do you consider leader of the Union Big Vic and Vito? I thought of that stable but I remember it as like four guys who teamed up without a leader.

The Corre technically had no leader either. They were supposed to be "equals". That was what they were pushing was different about it from Nexus.

Mankind?

I did so much over thinking on the two promotions one: other ones I considered were Luke Harper (Age of the Fall/Wyatts) and Seth Rollins (Age of the Fall/Shield)

Ideas for rounds

Foreign wrestlers
All-Women Edition
King of the Ring
Managers
All WCW
All ECW

I could go for an ECW round.

Damn, I did terrible. I would be up for the ECW round.

Was going to say Curt Hennig for the guy kicked out but figured that would definitely be a more popular answer than shitty Darren Young.

I came in strong on a few answers, Manu and Titus Worldwide! Seems my downfall was a few 7 point answers. Good round though

Knew New Day and Nexus would do me in. Took the active member to win world championshio wrong and went with the Cabinet which JBL won before they formed. Did hurt as much as the other 2 though. Fun round.

Same for me in regards to the Nexus. Was originally going to put in the New Blood but couldn't remember if it actually had multiple leaders besides Russo.

Thought Corporation only had one leader with Vince but forgot the very brief time Shane was actually in charge near the end.

Did the other guy say nWo: Hollywood too? I think we both should get 1 point score if we said different variants of the nWo.

nWo original
nWo: hollywood
nWo: wolfpack
nWo: black and grey.

Great round to the winner. Went too recent and got burned on the Undisputed era....BABY!

I wonder how much points Tommy Dreamer would get in this? Probably 10.

Don't forget NWO Japan

NWO 2000 baby

The Nexus counting for active member winning a world title one was a funny one.

Otunga and McGillicutty were still teaming under the Nexus banner even as Punk was doing his suspension angle. Then he returned at MITB 2011 and didn't have his Nexus armband on, but it still said "NEXUS" on his nameplate so I counted it even though, for all intents and purposes, the stable was mercy killed.

No lie, I thought about this for about two and a half hours before submitting my answers.

Was torn between The Dudleys, FBI, and bWo for multiple companies.....Should have went with the dudleys for the perfect game.

How come the Cabinet was marked as a wrong answer for Simple Fan?

JBL won it before they formed. Didn't take the active part that literally and thought the Cabinet would be s good answer.

Lol I can't believe 2 people guessed Kurrgan for multiple wwe stables

Yep, him winning the title was the very impetus for him to surround himself with hired goons.

I was most confident that nobody would use Triple Threat and Los Perros Del Mal.

Oooo I wish I thought of Truth Commission sooner. Def would have picked them.

Ouch. did terrible this time....

I did lol. Also Vito, you gave me a 4 for the Hart Foundation. I don't think anyone else picked them :fu::wavesad:


I underestimated you guys. i am going to have to think about it more next time

Damn you for the Suzukigun semantics

It was marked wrong.... possibly because Jimmy Hart managed them at first?

I wasn't sure if you were going to count the Nexus/New Nexus as two stables or one, so I stayed away from that. Was going to give "New Nexus" as the answer to the one leader question, but decided not to gamble it.

I wanted to use "New Brood" for the girl member question but was unsure if Terri was ever a part of that stable.

That's because it was an incorrect answer, which meant you got same number of points of the most frequently guessed correct answer. The Hart Foundation actually started with Jimmy Hart as the leader before breaking off into its own thing where Bret was in charge. But officially, the tenure of the group started with Jimmy.

Good call, I would've counted it as one stable since it was technically one group beginning to end, they just changed names halfway through.

To me, Jimmy Hart was a manager to a tag team . He managed Neidhart and then Bret came and they formed a tag team.

are you counting managers as stable leaders on every tag team? Like would Jacob and Eli Blu with Uncle Zeb be a stable? To me that's a tag team with a manager

Unless you're counting Honky as part of their stable, but it was never referred to as the Hart Foundation. Just Bret and Jim were


I still would of lost by a landslide, but would be good to know for future ones.

Managers with tag teams definitely shouldn't be a stable

In WWF, the group of guys under Jimmy was known as the "Jimmy Hart Organization."

In latter day WCW and in the Memphis heyday, it was called the First Family.

Good point. I wasn't intending on counting managers and tag team. I don't really know the back history of the Hart Foundation other than what I read on Wiki. The way I read it it sounded like Jimmy was already managing a group called the Hart Foundation.

After reading further, it sounds like Bret and Jim being announced as "members of the Hart Foundation" as though they were part of a larger group was a load of shit and they really were the only two members :lol:

So yeah, I'd have adjusted the scores if the points would've gotten you to a top 5.

Will post the next one tonight as I was dead tired last night and forgot all about it. Would post it here at work but file share sites are blocked :mad:

no biggie. just wanted to make sure we weren't doing managers to a tag team as stables. :y:

Middle of the pack score. Fitting cause I'm middle of the pack everything.

You won Survivor.

As far as I'm concerned, You're my Co-Champion
