This is the greatest edition in the history of our game!

https://goo.gl/forms/xtC2Gs0oSE1ChJK52

-Answer all of the questions in the attached form
-Don't look shit up
-The object of the game is to give correct answers that you think the fewest number of respondents will give
-Incorrect answers will receive a point total the equivalent of the highest-guessed answer for that question
-Lowest score wins
-Have fun

Evil Vito 05-08-2018 09:02 PM

Interested in seeing the responses to this one. Purposefully tried to stay away from a lot of questions that had 349324824982394 potential correct answers which usually end with everyone getting 1 or 2 points. That's why I also threw a couple more stable questions in there. Stables tend to lend themselves well to a game like this.

Savio 05-08-2018 09:24 PM

Was going to select a TV champ from TNA but i feel that would get me dinged points

Savio 05-08-2018 09:29 PM

I think I did awful though.

owenbrown 05-08-2018 09:35 PM

this is gonna be a good one

Bad News Gertner 05-08-2018 09:40 PM

Killed this one. I'd better have done well

Loose Cannon 05-08-2018 09:44 PM

Tried something different this time. let's see if it worked.

Good call, seeing as it's the WCW edition ;)

SlickyTrickyDamon 05-08-2018 09:51 PM

I put the same guy for jumping. He had some problems staying employed.

SlickyTrickyDamon 05-08-2018 09:53 PM

JCP counts as WCW correct?

Bad News Gertner 05-08-2018 10:45 PM

I stayed away from JCP

Jordan 05-08-2018 10:56 PM

I love WCW so this is up my alley. Gonna see my name in the top 5 again.

Jordan 05-08-2018 11:14 PM

I like the stable questions because it creates a level of paranoia "well... nobody is gonna pick X..." but then also ".... well nobody would think to pick X so I've gotta go B". Love this game.

Vastardikai 05-08-2018 11:19 PM

hopefully, the fact that there were multiple tag titles in WCW will work in my favor.

Mr. Nerfect 05-08-2018 11:23 PM

I also stayed away from JCP, and to be safe, I made sure I only chose wrestlers from the Nitro era when talking about the Monday Night War. I immediately regret my decision for US/World Champion.

Really wanted to give Kwee-Wee as an answer to something.... but I couldn't remember if he was in Ready to Rumble

DrA 05-09-2018 09:14 AM

This was my first time doing this. I did really obvious ones for a couple of answers as a potential "strategy" but I realized as soon as I submitted how that was going to probably backfire, especially for the WCW to WWF switchover one.

Bad News Gertner 05-09-2018 01:49 PM

Sticky please

I was tempted to get cute and pick Adam Cole (baybee) for a War Games, but since it's titled WCW figured I'd play it safer lol

This one was fun for me because I didn't have to guess.

WinterDecay 05-09-2018 06:28 PM

I was going under the assumption that WcW is not considered JCP.

Bad News Gertner 05-10-2018 04:43 PM

Bump

LibSuperstar 05-10-2018 04:57 PM

Done! Only one or two I wasn’t sure about.

I did terribly. I don't know WCW like ECW or WWE.

Lex luger would work for many of the answers but hes a bastard so screw that.

I forgot who I put for all of these things. Hope I didn't suck.

Savio 05-12-2018 07:50 AM

I think wrong answers should be plus 1 on the highest answer... theoretically one person can pick all right answers and then everyone else could pick wrong answers and then everyone would be tied

SlickyTrickyDamon 05-12-2018 12:46 PM

Nah it's called thinking differently. Rather be wrong taking a chance than going safe with an easy answer.

Bad News Gertner 05-12-2018 07:40 PM

Woooooo I want results!

I treated it as wcw, from when they suceeded from the NWA and way after jcp.

Good point.

I second this. Wrong answers should hurt more.

Shisen Kopf 05-12-2018 11:40 PM

You lose a toe for each wrong answer is the only fair thing to do

Top 3 Most Frequently Guessed Answers
1(t). Flock Member: Sick Boy, 7
1(t). Natural Born Thrillers Member: Mike Sanders, 7
1(t). Jumped from WCW to WWF: Perry Saturn, 7


NOTES FROM THE OFFICIAL SCORER:

Probably the most straightforward game to score to date. I only needed to research the WWF to WCW defections and vice versa. If you jumped straight from one company to another, it counted. If you stopped at ECW in between or had a prolonged break, I didn't count it.

Commentary also required a slight amount of research but not much. Ferrara commentated Dr. Death's matches for week under the Oklahoma gimmick for several months, and Nash popped in on commentary plenty.

All of the Natural Born Thrillers got a vote. Poor Horace and Riggs got no love from the Flock.

I did end up making wrong answers be the most frequently guessed response + 1. Wrong answers were backbreaking for a few of these questions, but none of them would've impacted the lowest scores list.

SlickyTrickyDamon 05-13-2018 01:19 AM

I knew the Flock would fuck me out of winning. I was going to say the original King of Swing DANCIN' Stevie Richards but I think it was before the Flock was announced officially as a group.

Sixx 05-13-2018 01:45 AM

Holy shit, I did pretty good.

Even got 2 lone answers!

Vastardikai 05-13-2018 03:30 AM

A couple of notes:

1. Brian Pillman did hold multiple tag titles: 1 United States Tag Team Title Reign with Tom Zenk, and the run with the Blondes. You didn't specify which tag title.

2. Kevin Sullivan was on the 1989 WCW commentary team, most notably calling Cactus Jack's first WCW match. I thought he had done more than 10.

Bad News Gertner 05-13-2018 06:46 AM

Woooooo Gertner rules!

Maluco 05-13-2018 09:54 AM

Getting better at this! Just copied and pasted Rhodes into World champ column by accident. Might have cost me a top 5 space. Shouldn't have done this when I wasn't fully awake!

Jordan 05-13-2018 01:24 PM

Vito I don't understand why you marked Eric Watts incorrect in regard from jumping from WWF to WCW. He did just that with no major job in between.

Jordan 05-13-2018 01:26 PM

He wrestled as Techno Team 2000 in WWF around 95/96 and I just watched a Thunder from 98 and he was on it. Also looked it up on Wiki.

Top 5 finally. Freaking jump to WWF killed me. My initial pick was Eddie, but I figured out of the Radicalz Saturn would be the biggest afterthought lol. And of course nobody actually picked Eddie smh

Jordan X's answer of Maxx Payne jumping from WCW to WWF should be correct shouldn't it? He went from being Maxx Payne in WCW to Man Mountain Rock in the WWF without a month or so.

There was a noticeable gap. Fired in 1994 and WWF in 1995.

Bad News Gertner 05-13-2018 09:42 PM

Just checked wrestlingdata. Wow, I totally though he wrestled into late 1994.

Qs

I was apparently too late to actually participate, but I felt like it would be a fun excercise. My answers are here for shits and/or giggles.
SPOILER: show

1) Lex "That's just unabashed arrogance!" Lugar
2) Kid Romeo - though, I'm not sure I'm right. I *think* they brought back the TV title when they had a shit-ton of belts, and I think he had that and the Cruiserweight and the Cruserweight tag. Just not at the same time.
3) "Sick Boy"
4) Stevie Ray
5) Mark Madden
6) Booker T.
7) Mike Sanders
8) Fake Sting
9) Meng/Haku (near the end. I think it was more of a "fuck you" to a dying WCW than anything neccessary for long-term plans)
10) DDP

Loose Cannon 05-14-2018 09:59 AM

ok my experiment got me a much better score this time, but still not close. I just chose all the obvious ones thinking they would be avoided. i wanted to see how well that did.

Innovator 05-14-2018 10:08 AM

I was about to put a curse on you and your house but it turns out Public Enemy did a couple ECW spots before going to WWF.
