When I picked the category, I was explicit on what was allowed. In case you missed it:

If it's in that list, it's legal.

For all places, I will be using the current design and not any historical ones.

Might I be able to pick this later? Probably. Does that matter? Not at all.

IMO, this is a top bucket list sporting event. it's one of the few sports that's better live than on TV, because the crowd is part of the show. It's put on by a company that revolutionized hype, and knows how to deliver on it. You're guaranteed at least a couple satisfying outcomes, because (spoiler alert) somebody wrote the ending.

Some people call this the super bowl of professional wrestling; I prefer to call the super bowl the wrestlemania of football. Vince did the one night extravaganza first, and still does it best.

WrestleMania

Nice pick, Z. If I had thought of it, I probably would have it in the top three, maybe four.

I saw wrestling was picked but didn't read the words.

I thought to myself "solo exercise? No... Got it! Reality show!"

Worst flag belongs to Belize



I think this guy said it best:

Quote:
This monstrosity has the feel of an overenthusiastic client repeatedly asking the graphic designer to add things until it's just an unmanageable clutter. "Can you add a saw? And an oar. And an axe. Don't forget the boat and the tree. And have the guys stand on some grass. Maybe have them carry the axe and oar that are already covered elsewhere…" Also, the two men are really badly drawn. A truly appalling effort.

For Competition Reality Show I'm going in a different direction and choosing Iron Chef, the Food Network version dubbed in English of course.

There have been some good SciFi shows picked, but I think ya'll are leaving out one of the GOAT shows:

Futurama
The show was funny, insightful, sad, intelligent, and just downright excellent.

Rolling Stone:
Arguably the nerdiest sitcom ever to air on network TV — so sorry, Big Bang Theory —The Simpsons‘ 30th-century sci-fi cousin is full of jokes only a PhD could love. (There were three on the writing staff.) But it’s an absurdist workplace comedy at heart, suggesting there’s no technological innovation that will eliminate incompetent bosses or shiftless, alcoholic co-workers, even if the latter happen to be robots.

SyFy.com:
Following the story of a slacker who accidentally wakes up 1,000 years in the future, Futurama tackled everything from potential robot takeovers to our obsession with smartphones. it also told stories with a ton of heart around these characters, and even branched out from its concept with one episode framed around the story of the family dog Fry left behind when he was frozen (just watch “Jurassic Bark” and try not to cry).

Time to take the biggest jackass that everyone used to love, but now realised is a complete prick and fast becoming the most hated character in TV ever.

Yep, it's Ross Geller from Friends.

Futurama would be #1 for me but I'm not so sure Eric will agree

All depends if you're drafting from the heart or drafting from the head
