Spade_Cooley 9,471 Posted December 31, 2013 Team's in. No Schumacher. Also dropped Jim Bamber, even though I partly think that might be a OoO double (treble?) cross to keep him for himself. No Clive James. A wrestler for my main team, because I know how much TMIB loves writing entries for them. Even picked someone over the age of 100. Let's see how this all works out. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're not WWE Hall of Famers but they'd probably enter as a third/fourth-tier entry in the next five years. May even get next year's HoF if the cark it before then.

By saying ''they're not'' means he/she was part of a tag team? I would say superstar billy graham but doesn't sound like him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Flag 84 Posted December 31, 2013 I didn't go for Bamber either but did go for a risky F1-related pick - outside chance of a unique, particularly if OoO hasn't gone for the same person (and every chance is he's leading me and everyone else on anyway). I've also gone for a former NFL player who may be a unique, may not die and may not get an obit if he does, so a bit of a risk. Can't see the team finishing as high as this year but you never know - it's wide open I've also submitted an F1 theme team again, despite a lack of success this year. No Schumacher, though, because I submitted too early Will be interesting to see if there are/were any plants on this forum that weren't actually that ill. Hoping I haven't been suckered in by any of them myself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,356 Posted December 31, 2013 My team is in, but only after including Clive James at the very last minute. I've struggled for inspiration this time around and haven't studied the form as closely as I did in previous years, so I don't think I'll be challenging for the lead in 2014. The competitive flame has dimmed a little for me these days. Good luck in your battles to everyone who plays and everyone who is picked. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

X-Pac probably is a feasible WWE HoFer, they'll probably do a DX group induction in 2018/as soon as Chyna is dead. I mean, the WWE HoF has Koko B Ware in.
