If I don't come in first I will retire from competition. Thats how confident I am. South American wrestlers! Good lord. I can think of two lol

Lol yeah, I actually thought I had 10 questions and then realized I was one short. It wasn’t until after I saved that realized I could’ve done Australian wrestlers which would’ve been way easier. Ah well.

I won't do well on this one. I am pretty sure I tanked one of them, depending on how technical we get.

Pretty tough, was lost on the South American question as well and just went with the only thing that poped in my head and I'm pretty sure its wrong. Thought pretty hard on a few though.

Is fictitious hometown just any place someone was billed from or a place the doesn't actually exist?

Pretty sure I just named a Mexican guy for that South America question so yeah this is gonna go great.

I interpreted it as place that doesn't exist.

:y:

I'm gonna win this one I just know it. Gonna be like the 1991 Twins, worst to first wooooooo!

Unless STD cheats again

You think you will beat STD and Google? Ha.

I definitely took the most time with this one and actually stopped to think for answers instead of using the best of the few that immediately come to mind....

I interpreted as a place that does exist but has no possible way a person has a home town there like "The Ocean"

I definitely got the South American question wrong.

Oh well.

The rest are definitely the #1 answer.

At first I thought it said South Africa and couldn't think one anyone besides Justin Gabriel and the guy who punched Randy Orton in the nuts.

Fuckkkk I thought it said South Africa too mother fuck. Goddamn aside from that’s till the hardest one. I’m so pissed I spent way too much time thinking this over.

I get the sense that there are gonna be a lot of wrong answers for the South America question but it won't really matter because it'll probably only be like 2 points

Do you check the answers during the the week or just at the end when your doing the results?

Generally not until I do the results, although if there's a question or two I'm particularly interested in seeing the responses to I may peek early.

Qs

hmm ... so after re-reading the question again and realizing that Shaun Simpson was not from South America, I took the question literally and put in a wrestler from Mexico which is South of America.

There's a couple South American wrestlers that are very well known

Probably, but I couldn't think of any and then I guessed wrong because I guess I don't know geography.

That one was more difficult, but a good challenge

I could think of only 3, likely (and hopefully) more than most

Just realized after submitting my entry I goofed up big time on the American to win a title outside the US question. Even worse after looking up what he actually won and he didn't win the IWGP title either.

I did badly again ugh. After putting in a joke answer for South America because I didn't know of any, and submitting my answers I did look it up(after I submitted my answers) but only saw one I recognized. I need to start watching other promotions.

Would Rocca be one?

I think I more then likely did decent enough to not get into the Top 5 as Always

Depends if we are going by birthplace. Rocca is Italian.

I knew he was Italian but he grew up in Argentina hence his nickname being Argentina.

It said South America? Damn phone screen I put col James DeBleers.

I unoffically switch to Zeke Jackson.

Crap! I forgot about him. The most memorable thing about him was his place in SVR11 where he was a security guard for Vince. It's better than his run on Smackdown with The Corre.

Results!

I thought it said south Africa too. Fuck. I honestly cant think of any south american wrestler though so I guess it doesnt matter.

2 of them shared a first adjective in their name in the WWE

I went with one of those cause I didn't want to cheat and look something obscure up

Reeeeesults!

Woooo

Results!

Noid with a near perfect score!

Favorite question to score was the fictional hometown one. Docked points for real places. I allowed Dudleyville even though there are towns that do have that name just because their entire gimmick was that they were from a town populated entirely by their family.

Lance Storm and his gigantic penis bulge fucked everybody.

Somehow missed that the Canadian that won a title question was only in WCW/ECW/TNA......

Lol Planet Stasiak. What a great gimmick. They could have done alot with that.

How was The Bowery considered a real place?

Because it is a real place

Death Valley doesn't count as a fictitious hometown?

There is a city with a similar name but its called Death Valley Junction and located miles away from the actual desert.

I win

First time I think I didn't have at least one +5 points answer, 6th place, not bad at all.

I placed in the Top 5 again. WOOHOO! *Homer voice*

Death Valley is an actual region

Congrats to the top five you guys deserve all the praise today.

Im gonna win the next one dammit. Make it about real rasslin, territory days. Nothing after 1985.

South America killed my perfect run. Official worst continent.

*Tips hat*

Lol I can't believe someone else guessed Johnny Ace as an American title holder in a non-American promotion.

My unofficial score is 19. Pretry good

It's a real place in New Jersey. It's centrification is making it like Brooklyn now

Tough break Katie Lee Burchill never competed in a wwe ring.

Oh, so real non-towns in general counted against the question.

Went in with the assumption of it just couldn't be an actual city or town.

Maryse was billed from Hollywood California in her/Miz tag match with Nikki Bella and John Cena

And your official score is 22. Not so good

I used her as my guess for a person born from the British Aisles but I was maked incorrect, she was born in Germany. Frustrating because she has an English accent, she must've been a military kid or political kid or something.

I know corrections are YOUR thing, but, UHH...yeahhhhhh...

Can I have an explanation on this?

Round 10!!!!!

Oh wow. Damninator owned you. You gonna take that?

I'd assume people living in Hollywood makes it a valid hometown and is a town/city even though its part of LA now.

So it should be a right answer then.

Are we taking a break or will there be another BATTLE this week?

Her official profile and shit says Montreal. Didn't realize she was billed from anywhere in that match tho, so I'll count it.

Think I'll do one more, and then take a break for a month or so.

Yay, For finally breaking the top 5.

Also figured Dennis Stamp would of screwed me, But this time he did get booked in my answers

Great idea: Wrestlers that Gertner likes.
