Thinking Differently 13 - RIP Edition
 
We've got a somber one this week. Popped into my head after Sunday's events. :( Not a category I wish had so many viable answers.

https://goo.gl/forms/kqRpF0WbWGWu6OBw2

RULES:
-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 07-31-2018 11:45 PM

Feel like strategy will play a big role in deciding this one since you could conceivably give the same answer multiple times over. But it seems like people have done that the last few weeks now and others have "caught on".

We shall see.

DAMN iNATOR 08-01-2018 12:00 AM

I'd do this but in all honesty the reason I've only ever done one is because it was the only one where I looked over all the questions and knew I could actually provide answers from myself and not Google or ProFightDB.

... so was my post deleted, or is someone having a goof and deliberately moving stuff?

Bad News Gertner 08-01-2018 07:48 AM

I think I did pretty well on this one

This will be one of the few TDs in which I'll get every answer correct.

Fuckkkkkk I'm regretting my Randy Savage opponent.

Shew. If the dice roll my way I could do well here. I know I didn't get any wrong. Just hoping I picked the ones you all didn't!

The Savage, Eddie, and Vader ones were the first ones that sprang to mind and my initial intent was to have the whole thing be like that, pick 10 deceased wrestlers and then have one question for each.

Then I realized it was way harder than I thought to come up with questions that weren't too obscure, so I went the more generic route.

Bad News Gertner 08-01-2018 04:41 PM

I might be ok with my Eddie and Vader pick, but my Macho Man pick is going to cost me big time I think.

xrodmuc316 08-01-2018 07:37 PM

Technically Jerry Lawler died for like 15 minutes, but I wasn't bold enough to put that as an answer

Jordan 08-01-2018 09:36 PM

LOL well, yeah I think that would be debatable for sure.

Looking forward to seeing the results for this. Got a feeling Gertner hacked my entries though. Cheating bastard!

Savio 08-04-2018 10:12 AM

I always expect Gertner to win but he never does.

Bad News Gertner 08-04-2018 10:23 AM

Always a bridesmaid never a bride. I've come in second like 5 times lol

rob11 08-04-2018 11:57 AM

I think I did okay but chose answers probably others chose to try to be different. The Randy Savage one will probably give everyone 5+ points.

That's better than me, I almost always am around 6 or 7. I think I've only cracked the top 5 once lol

Evil Vito 08-04-2018 09:05 PM

Calculating the results. Need some catchy tunes to get through this.

Results!

Top 5 Lowest Scores:
1. Innovator - 17
2. Noid - 21
3. Vastardikai - 22
4(T). Bad News Gertner - 25
4(T). Big Vic - 25
4(T). SlickyTrickyDamon - 25

Top 5 Highest Scores:

25(T). Simple Fan - 40
25(T). Tom Guycott - 40
27. owenbrown - 42
28. Paul Bearer - 58

Top 3 Most Frequently Guessed Responses
1. Title Won By Eddie Guerrero: United States Championship - 9
2. Wrestler That Passed in the 2000s: Curt Hennig - 8
3. A bunch tied at 6

Notes from the official scorer:

For the Eddie question, some people listed WWF US, WCW US, or just US with no other specification. They were all lumped together because it is the same championship and shares the same lineage.

Speaking of technicalities, the way the non-wrestler question was written quite literally any dead person who didn't wrestle was technically a correct answer. A few I marked as correct have wrestled before (Heenan, Liz, etc.) but they're mostly known for not wrestling so I still counted them.

Another technicality - that Vader question. Some hilarious responses there.

Also I can't confirm whether or not Ralphus is dead. Guy's real name is John Riker and there is next to no personal info on him, so fuck it, I counted it.

Innovator ran away with this one anyway.

Frank Drebin 08-04-2018 11:37 PM

What was hilarious about the Vader question?

Lock Jaw 08-04-2018 11:58 PM

Will specify that when I wrote "Television Title" for Eddie Guerrero championship, I meant the WCW and not ECW one.

I mean, checking wiki now, I see that Eddie never won the WCW TV Title, but...... that's the one I meant. Didn't even remember ECW had one.

Savio 08-05-2018 12:10 AM

I guess I gotta accept one warrior nation doesnt count.

RVD held it for like 26 months. I guess that's why you blocked it because you hate the Whole Fuckin' Show.

Couple ideas going forward

-You could do "decades" like an 80's edition, 90's etc...
-African American edition
-All Tag Team edition

So you blew the promoter for your spot?

Vastardikai 08-05-2018 03:53 PM

Also, If I had said WWE World Title for the Eddie question, I could have actually won this one.

I didn't. But I could find nothing about the dude other than his real name (John Riker).

His WCW tenure was 20 years ago and he seemed pretty old then so I dunno.

Savio 08-05-2018 11:09 PM

I saw something today online saying he died in 05 due to a drug overdose in Cincinnati. Was from a forum though.

Yes STD which is why I said I was walking on a razors edge and

I thought Ralphus was brought up on either WHW or 83 Weeks and he was alive.

SlickyTrickyDamon 08-06-2018 12:57 AM

Asking members of the MOTHERSHIP (605 superpodcast) for more information on Ralphus

SlickyTrickyDamon 08-06-2018 12:58 AM

Jericho mentioned Ralphus on Talk is Jericho (episode with conrad thompson) recently and said he was alive.
