Happy 2020!!!
A few years ago @RedRaider07 started this Prediction Contest on the forums and it became an instant hit here in our community. I think I speak for everyone in thanking him for his effort in posting the threads, tallying the results, and keeping standings.
I offered to pick up the mantle starting in the new year and give him a breather - I can only hope to keep up the tradition in his honor.
As of the end of 2019, our two time winner is @Rated_R_Poster with the most points earned, and the advanced stats winner was @A-Rob with 67.1% of his picks correct (min. 60 available pts).
This season of the prediction contest which will run from WK through WrestleMania (10 shows). The following shows are slated to be part of the contest but perhaps more will be added as the card is always subject to change:
WK 1/4, WK 1/5, NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool II, Worlds Collide, Royal Rumble, TakeOver Portland, AEW Revolution, Fastlane(?), Elimination Chamber, WrestleMania 36
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
- All matches are worth 1pt unless otherwise noted for Championship Matches; Because of TBDs on Night 2, Night 1 picks carry extra pts where noted to account for guessing Night 2 Matchups correctly
- No Bonus Questions for WK given length, number of matches, and multiple nights
- Check back for Live Discussion Threads which I hope to be awake to post (will contain spoilers!); If anyone gets to the Forum before I have a chance to post them, please start them!! Can’t wait for Wrestle Kingdom 14!!!
UPDATE: Submission Deadline is start of Night 1 and both nights must be submitted together
