THE unOFFICAL 2+2 WRESTLEMANIA 29 PICK-EM POOL - Page 5 - Wrestling -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I don't see it as 100% that the fat boys dance after the match, since obviously they'll get to dance before it.

Gut feeling is that Rhodes Scholars go over dirty, with or without the post-match revenge/dancing, or perhaps a small chance that Albert or Brodus goes heel and changes gimmicks.

But I mean it got my lowest confidence pick so obviously could be wrong. Just didn't expect it to be meaningful for this contest. Also I felt there was a chance it could get bumped to the pre-show and I didn't want to risk losing points that way.

Either way, can we all agree that we should just call them Fat Albert? I think that's a much better name than Tons of Funk.

I dunno, I don't think Tons of Funk is too bad of a name. It's everything else about them that's awful.

Fat Albert has to be trademarked at this point anyway. They'd probably get heat for even calling him Phat Albert (and be behind the times by about 20 years, too).

Tons of Funk feuding with PTP over the tag titles could be fun at some point, at least on the mic.

Well there's the fact that Bloom's ring name hasn't been Albert for like 10 years also. He's Tensai.

I'm surprised that nobody picked Henry. And I think I put Fandango too low, there should be no way that he loses his first match.

Yeah, for me it was basically...

99+% confident:
Taker
Cena
Fandango

Confident but won't be floored if I'm wrong:
Shield
Ryback

Semi-confident:
Lesnar
ADR

Basically flipping a coin and just picking on gut feeling:
Dolph/Big E
Rhodes Scholars

My concern is DQ + beat down of Jericho. Still picked him but not for a large amount of points.

I'm rooting for Fandango to lose (despite picking him) and Bork to win. Should have a decent chance of shipping it then.

I had it down as a Bork lock (but not quite as big a lock as Taker, Cena or Ryback). The consensus here is making me doubt myself though. I just figured that when there is a stipulation that if one wrestler loses he retires, he almost always loses, especially at Wrestlemania. Plus Bork recently signed a new contract so it would be a good idea to keep him strong, and H is basically retired at this point anyway, won't gain anything with a win.

Vince gonna Vince though so who knows.

Edit - Also, contrary to popular belief, HHH actually has a good record of putting people over, particularly at Wrestlemania.

Storyline wise it doesn't make any sense to me for Triple H to lose. He's the face (supposedly) who's had his arm broken, his family slandered, and his father-in-law injured. The fact that they're using Brock in this capacity is atrocious, but I don't see how they can have him win this match. I think it's a Triple H win and then he "retires" anyway but does it "on his own terms."

It also makes sense if Lesnar is going to resume his Cena series and be the immediate challenger to Cena's title.

Ill make everything offical when I get home.

Note:

There were a few people who paid with an echeck. They won't clear for a few days, so payment may be delayed a few days, until those funds hit my account.

We all had Ryback. Unreal. My bracket is done after the 2nd match (I had 8 pts on Ryback)
