Derby Dead Pool 2014

Recommended Posts

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.

No, I'm straight with that one. I didnt pick Clive James either or Jaruzelski.

A wrestler, likely to get an obit, who is ill? Colour me intrigued.

It's not Tom Billington, fwiw. 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.

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

Oops, I thought Uk was one hour before. But whatever, I'm sure 99 % have sent their teams already. Just in case, I've deleted my page content (for now).

I was gonna say "Come on there's no way they would put X-Pac in the Hall of Fame". But then reality leaped on me like a Bronco Buster.

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.

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.
