Lesnar and Steph sure seem like risky choices to me.

That's an awful lot of confidence in John Cena losing a match.

I still think Swagger wins FWIW. But I talked myself out of it being my highest confidence selection.

LKJ kinda surprised you didnt go with Bray. I guess theyre both pretty similar matches though

Was a bit afraid of some sort of DQ with Harper/Rowan breaking up a Jericho pin or something like that.

It's just safer to bet on a babyface for reasons like that. Obviously some chance I get burnt here, but I doubt it.

My original submission was Swagger, so at least I rescued myself from that potential misstep.

Wasnt it Mark Henry that hit a WSS, the guy kicked out, so he just picked him up and did it again and won? Dont see that often enough

Yeah that's really rare. They did a ton of great booking during that Mark Henry Hall of Pain run.

Yeah, who did he decimate to win the title that nobody thought he was gonna win? Was that Orton? I can't remembee, whoever it was it was a glorified squash and was perfect

It was Orton yeah. We weren't that pessimistic about his chances on this board though IIRC.

It was Orton at the height of his Cena 2.0 run. Good stuff

yeah it was Orton. Just smashed him at NoC.

Then they fought at HiaC and the whole build up was "can Randy Orton hit the RKO on Mark Henry". At HiaC, he finally hit it and then Henry kicked out. Loved Cole's call of "Randy Orton just realized he can't beat Mark Henry" and then Henry WSS and pinning him.

Smackdown was booked incredibly well during that run. I believe (it kinda blends together) the run was Edge retiring after WM -> Christian winning -> Christian/Orton feud -> Henry winning and Hall of Pain run -> Bryan stealing the title and holding til WM. Just a great, great year long run.
