come on guys It's whose line stypoint scoring they don't matter. plus I explained pretty well why I scored the way I did.

[Queensryche]

come on guys It's whose line stypoint scoring they don't matter. plus I explained pretty well why I scored the way I did.

Sort of........except for the fact that the high score determines who wins the privilege of being the Dungeonmaster.

And for that matter, I'll let this slide now, but from now on, the Dungeonmaster MUST score answers on a scale of 1-5 and CANNOT use the same score twice. There must be five different scores for the five answers.

[Antigoth]

Wow... I really had the easy time scoring this one. I get the feeling none of you have ever watched Stephen Colbert.

BigPimpin - 1
Going for Xpac heat, you managed to suck the life out of the room.

dilbert505 - 2
Honesty... I like it. But I felt part of the DoD was the creativity.

SmartAssAssassin - 3
Prefacing your answer with how much you hate Radiohead knocked you from 4 down to 3.

Commissioner D2 - 4
Straightforward answer, cut to the meat of the question.

Queensryche - 5
Here was an answer that made me think. It actually drove me to listen to Kid A, Amnesiac, and Hail to the Thief. I'm thinking Hail to the Thief may be their most underrated and arguably best album, but yeah... holy crap is Kid A amazing. I haven't listened to it in a while.

So... the question came about because recently I grabbed the Bends and threw it into my Car Stereo, and was blown away by how awesome the album was, and I asked myself the question that I posed the panel.
I didn't have an answer, and just wanted to have some thoughts about it. Something for those of you hating on the question to go back and do - read Queensryche's answer. He never tells you his personal feelings about it "I like, or I hate it, or..." based on that, he gave the best answer to the question.

So scoring this:
Dilbert -1 + 3 + 2 = 4
D2 4 + 3 + 4 = 11
Queensryche 4 + 3 + 5 = 12
BigPimpin 2 + 3 + 1 = 6
SmartAss 5 + 4 + 3 = 12

So we have a tie between QR & SAA

Since I'm last in, and I want to push this to the next round, here's the tie breaker:
There has been some speculation that with Jericho, Punk, Bryan, Ziggler, and a number of the other Wrestlers currently on the WWE Roster, that the recent WWE PPV's have offered some of the strongest and finest wrestling consistently PPV to PPV.

When was the last time any wrestling organization consistently offered this level of quality wrestling through their PPV, and in your mind, what was the best era for "pure" wrestling on PPV?

[Queensryche]

Alrighty then, my answer to this question:

I would say that the last time any organization offered quality PPVs on a consistent basis was WCW, from Bash at the Beach '96 to the end of 1998. Obviously, a lot of the PPVs were driven by the nWo angle, but top to bottom, there were FANTASTIC matches each PPV. You had the cruiserweights firing up the show with quality action, you had quality midcard matches with the likes of Dean Malenko, Eddie Guererro, Booker T, and He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named, and it would all build to a climactic main event. I'd argue that part of the reason WCW failed was because of the failure (and later on, outright burial) to elevate the midcard talent, when guys like the ones I named proved they at least deserved a shot at the main event scene. By the time some of them got their shot, it was too late. Now of course there were bad decisions (Starrcade 97 main event), but overall each PPV would have at least one MotY candidate and have several good-to-great matches.

As for pure wrestling as a whole, it'd have to be the NWA's PPVs from the mid-80s to 1990. The WWF was all about the bells and whistles, and while they did produce quality matches, the wrestling in some cases was secondary. The NWA on the other hand went the other route and decided to promote wrestling first, with angles to make things interesting. 1989 stands out in particular, with the Flair/Steamboat series, perhaps the greatest matches EVER in the history of wrestling as a whole in terms of workrate.

[LordFa9]

before Bigpimpin posts, as a casual observer I'd like to formally request that anyone who is posting a question at very least put a visible header so people don't need to navigate through walls of prose just to locate what everybody is talking about.

you may now return to your regularly scheduled program

1998-1992, WWE (Then WWF)

Im measuring this from Wresltemania 5 (Hogan vs Savage) to Wrestlemania 8 (Hogan vs Sid and Macho Man vs Flair).

This was the heyday of the WWF's mega star era, where wrestlers with huge personas and larger than life egos were running amok. Names that are still regarded highly today. Hogan, Savage, Flair, the Warrior, Brett Hart, Hot Rod, Demoliton, LOD, Ted Dibease (Sr., not Jr.), the Natural Disasters, Mr Perfect, Hacksaw, Jake the Snake, Undertaker, you get my drift.

Whats more, this was an era of wrestling where feuds were built up over a ling period of time, fleshed out well, and got the crowds attention. People cared. Hogan vs Slughter and WMX XII was such an emotional match, what with the Gulf War and Slaughter going turncoat, it was making news casts across the nation, and the Sarge was getting death threats! Savage vs Flair and WM XIII was an incredible match on its own; the drama of Miss Elisabeth coming back to the Macho Man at the conclusion of the match only added to it.

This was a time where these wrestlers were still heros, and the heels were villians, despised even. The mystique of whether or not wrestling was real still hung in the air, and that greatly influenced everyting, from crowd interaction to storylines to match outcomes.

The WWF was doing things right. Every storyline had a slow build that culminated in spectacualr PPV matches. This may be a technicality, but there werent any weekly wrestling shows at this time like there are now. Matches at the PPV HAD to be great, because this was the WWF's ticket to people purchasing the next ppv.

And the bottom line is, the matches were great. Limited moveset or not, the emotion and effort these guys were giving in the ring at this point was 110% You could see and feel the dedication to entertaining the crowd. By 1993, the attitude era was sloooooowly beginning. HBK, Brett Hart, Razor Ramon, Lex Luger and the like were starting to dominate the scence. The old heros were leaving, and the WWE was slowly putting more emphasis on cutting a great promo, being a spectacle, and making money. Storylines started getting rushed, and the in reing performance began to suffer. Where as a few years earlier, where storylines added to a match, we began to see storylines become more inportant than the match itself. The WWF began a loooooong process of making sure that bad matches could be covered up with fast talking or attention grabbing wrestlers who lacked in ring skills, but didnt have the same flair as the wrestlers of yesteryear.



Dave

[Antigoth]

Holy crap.

You two both brought it, and I think saved your best for last.

What's interesting is you both highlighted the late 80s/early 90's for best pure wrestling, but each of you highlight a different organization for different reasons.

In this case I'm really picking 1a and 1b because you both gave well thought out and solid reasoning.

I'm going to give the nod and the tie break to Dave (SmartAssAssasin). I'm going to hold my reasoning a wee bit close to my chest, because otherwise it would betray a future question that I have stashed. (Which involves a conversation with Nana Visitor (Major Kira from DS9) about wrestling.)

And... Go?

[BigPimpin]

In for next open slot. As bad as I have been on this I like it.

[SmartAssAssassin]

Woooooo! Ok minions, here we go!

*aside* Im taking a more comedic tone to this, so youre gonna get some pretty wacky questions.

1.) The Repo man shows up at your house and tells you he's repossessing your car. Now even though you didnt default on any payments, and even though the Repo Man's outfit is flat out rediculous, he's a smooth talker who can worm his way into or out of any situation. Bottom line: right or wrong, he's taking your car unless you figure out a way to stop him. How do you do it?

2.) Its the end of August, 1996. Youre Eric Bischoff. You recently signed Scott Hall and Kevin Nash away from the WWF, and brought your brillant idea of the NWO to life. Its been about 4 months annnnnnnd......the idea tanked. Big time. Youre still well behind the WWF in terms of rating and popluarity, and Ted Turner is starting to get angry. Staying true to the staff WCW had at the time, what is your next big idea to try and top the WWF, who's involved, and why?

3.) Kevin Nash, The Ultimate Warrior, Ric Flair, and The Rock are all being honored at a random "Famous Wrestlers" event in Los Angeles, California. Unfortunatley, at this time, they are all located in New York City. So they decide to carpool. Who drives the car, why, and how fast do they get from NYC to LA?

And Go!

[kbjone]

1: I summon the ghost of the Big Boss Man. Sliding punch, Bossman Slam, Repo runs away a beaten man.

2: MORE MONEY! Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, here's your $1+ million per year contracts. Shawn, you're turfing Hogan out of the NWO (and WCW) the hardest way. Bret, you're a "wild card", seemingly loyal to WCW, but the main players (Flair, Sting, Luger) don't trust you yet.

With the "infusion" of Shawn, the NWO recovers from it's early setbacks... still heels, still trying to be "cool", just a little more traditional. Let Shawn/Hall/Nash rebuild the "Kliq", they're not 100% dominant, but they're not worried about belts and always winning battles. They're focused on winning the war... yes, WCW will take injuries even in victory.

Bret slowly and honestly works his way up the rankings, rebuffing several offers from the NWO... basically saying he wants to keep WCW from going "that way". Eventually, the NWO leaders decide that Bret has to go.

We build to a true Shawn-Bret blowoff at... Uncensored. Yes, the despised, dismissed, "little brother" PPV. The match might suck, but the sheer interest in a true "anything goes" Bret-Shawn should easily beat any WWF idea.

The match: Wargames for a single ring. Each wrestler comes out of a different entranceway, like early Impact. They can bring anything/anyone to cage-side with them... but once the cage is locked, security (In the form of "real" cops with "real" guns) makes sure that it's one-on-one.

And in all honesty, I don't care what happens. If Bret wins (likely), then the NWO is "defeated". If Shawn wins, the NWO gets their run extended to Starrcade... then properly ended by Sting/Flair/Luger.

Quite bluntly, I'm not beating WWF with the "same guys".

3: As a veteran of the Territory days, Flair gets the wheel. They would have gotten there in about 48 hours (Going 90+ the whole way)... BUT:

Flair gets arrested after beating the crap out of some guy who passes him on I-95 just south of Richmond. The weird thing is Flair beats his ass in Savannah, Georgia, several hours later after tailgating the guy through North and South Carolina. Oh, and putting the Figure Four on a cop trying to arrest him doesn't help. But the cop's broken leg is his own fault... tasering someone with the Figure Four on you is a BAD idea.

Rock takes the wheel, but heads straight to Miami, and leaves Nash and Warrior there, saying "I'll fly there on Smackdown Airlines, non-jabroni flight". He ends up in jail in Miami after Rock Bottoming an unlucky TSA agent who got a hand too close to the "People's Strudel" during a routine pat-down search.

Warrior decides to charter his own flight... and dissappears over the Bermuda Triangle. Last message from the plane: "TAKE THIS INFERNAL CONTRAPTION INTO THE WARP GATE DEAD AHEAD AAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH H!!!!"

Nash thinks... and decides that a beach vacation in Miami's better than a convention of smelly marks in LA. Also, he blew his quad out getting a new rental, and can't walk (much less drive) for two weeks anyway.

[Queensryche]

I'll sign up for the next round as well.

So close......

[Jokerfish]

question 1. I would have my own covert acquisition experts Cryme Tyme steal my car back with ease and Repo wouldn't even know it was missing.Then  I'd have Eddie Guerrerro Keep an eye on Cryme Time to make sure they don't steal from me in process. Then I would get Repoman to Try and Repossess the Low Rider Eddie came in thus creating a never ending loop theft that would get them to all leave me alone for the rest of time.
 I might even come up with a device to harness the energy being spent to do my part to be green.

question 2.Wanting to be edgy and controversial Bischoff would go to Ted Turner. and ask him to open up the wallet for an investment. Here is how the conversation would go

Bischoff: Excuse me Mr. Turner If I can have a moment of your time.

Turner: I Always have time for you Eric........(door closes) Which guy do you want this time and what should I expect on the blank check I leave you?

Bischoff: It's not a guy it's a company.I want you to buy a small promotion that is up and coming.

Turner: You want me to buy another wrestling company when this one is already bleeding money left and right.Were not catching up in the ratings

Bischoff: Just hear me out. I think My NWO Idea could have really worked but I see where we went wrong. We promised the fans to change things and not let the man control us and tried to be edgy by creating anarchy. We turn Hogan Heel to show we meant business.

Turner:Yeah that was good for a week until people realized it was just another heel stable with the same tired antics that our stars normally use.

Bischoff: I don't think we went far enough with the anarchy. It needs to be more of a punk rock thing. not a rock n roll thing. We need it to be young versus old we need it to be bloody and extreme.  You remember that guy we Fired by Fax a few years back Paul Heyman.

Turner: I'm not sure if I like the idea of bloody......... Wasn't Heyman managing some random faction that had Steve Austin in it. A. Why are we talking about Heyman and B. Why the hell did we let go of Steve Austin.

Bischoff: I'm a genius every decision I make is great........ Anyway back to the point Heyman has this promotion he is running out of this dinky arena. They do some Extreme things out there and I want it.

Turner:I don't know I don't like the amount of blood we have now. Doesn't Flair get ridiculously bloody after getting busted open every other week. Isn't that enough.

Bischoff: This is a two part plan just hear me out. We buy his company ECW for what would be cheaper than if we bought out Bret Hart, Hogan, Hall and Nash's and a couple other guys contracts. We give Heyman some made up writer position To appease him. He will still be under me and I still get the final say. We'll use the New talent plus some key young guys who are cheaper and easier to control and turn them into the real NWO.

 Turner: not buying it so far.

Bischoff: Let me finish. We set Hogan up as a Prophet as he warned everyone that this was going to happen. The we turn him into a martyr for the cause as We take out literally every egotistical overpaid overrated superstar on our roster. Writing an injury angle for each one that keeps them at home except for random moments when we need them. Hogan towards the end Storyline as the NWO turns on him because he is part of the problem as well. We might spare Flair and Sting.....The crowd seems to like Flair and Sting, Plus Flair bleeds a lot and Sting already uses a bat so they would fit in anyway.  Then we build it from new, with the new and young talent at roughly half the cost. Then I would finally have The control over my show as I always wanted.

Turner: So let me get this straight. We bring in a guy we fired to drive out all the guys were hired and overpaid, So we can actually run a show.... I'm sorry, So you can actually run the show. Plus we look edgier than WWF and McMahon........Can't we just sign The Ultimate Warrior wouldn't he be a good fit?

Bischoff: Trust me sir I'm always right.

Turner:Bret Hart....

Bischoff: I'm always right sir

Turner: Mark Calloway

Bischoff: Sir I...

Turner:.....Austin

Bischoff: I'm a Genius Dammit!

Turner: Ive spent this much into this catastrophe why stop here here's your check.

Question 3: Simply Put The Rock, Flair and yes even Nash have one thing in common they don't drive to places. They are driven to places. The three of them are in a stretch limo filled with fine liquor and women. They party hard most of the trip. Now you might ask where the Warrior fits into all of this. The warrior is working multiple jobs since the demise of his wrestling career and the Steroids abuse damaged his already addled brain. One of which is a limo driver. The warrior keeps trying to join the party but it doesn't work as every time the he slides down the divider to talk to them the Rock yells It doesn't matter what you say!......Your still not getting a tip.
They finally show up At San Diego Comic Con To push the WWE network under their legends contract. Rock as promised doesn't leave a real tip just a copy of Journey 2 DVD. Flair Doesn't pay The Alcohol Tab and writes a note saying the Rock owes him, and Nash leaves him a tip......2 cents rapped in a note that says "Find a new gimmick and learn how to talk on the mic". Warrior mumbles hypocrite, buys a ticket to the con. Tries to see if any of the vendors have his failed comic and to keep Virgil company.

[Daeva]

I'll keep these short and sweet.

1) Barry Darsow, meet steel chair. Repeat until he goes to repossess his teeth from the sidewalk.

2) Staying true to WCW's talent at that time, there's only one thing TO do if the nWo tanks, and it's controversial, and it's a big risk. Push the cruiserweights. The midcard is already the highlight of the show, give them the time and attention and just let them push out 4- and 5-star matches. To that end, I'd put the belt on La Parka in a big 16-man lucha libre-style tournament and then have absolutely bomb-a%$ matches on Nitro every week.

3) Flair is way too drunk to drive. Nash would tear a quad if he did any heavy braking. Warrior doesn't see the real world enough to avoid collisions. The Rock drives the car, and it takes almost a week because he stops in every town, gets out of the car, hooks up a microphone, and announces, "Finally, The Rock has come back to <insert town here>!". Every. Single. Time. Nash can't get out of the car to stop him (he's saving his energy for the convention), Flair is too buzzed on Southern Comfort to notice, and Warrior is too busy loading the spaceship with the rocket fuel.

[Queensryche]

Goth, Zero, we need your answers.

[Antigoth]

Woooooo! Ok minions, here we go!

*aside* Im taking a more comedic tone to this, so youre gonna get some pretty wacky questions.

1.) The Repo man shows up at your house and tells you he's repossessing your car. Now even though you didnt default on any payments, and even though the Repo Man's outfit is flat out rediculous, he's a smooth talker who can worm his way into or out of any situation. Bottom line: right or wrong, he's taking your car unless you figure out a way to stop him. How do you do it?

Repoman, meet the Million Dollar Man. Everyone's got a price, and Ted's gonna make sure that Repo gets his, while I keep my car.

2.) Its the end of August, 1996. Youre Eric Bischoff. You recently signed Scott Hall and Kevin Nash away from the WWF, and brought your brillant idea of the NWO to life. Its been about 4 months annnnnnnd......the idea tanked. Big time. Youre still well behind the WWF in terms of rating and popluarity, and Ted Turner is starting to get angry. Staying true to the staff WCW had at the time, what is your next big idea to try and top the WWF, who's involved, and why?

Two words: Scott Steiner

The Ultimate promo machine will save the WCW. He will bring new highs to the WCW as he not only single handled shows his genetic freaks how to destroy the NWO, but he earns the WCW accolades as professor Steiner teachs math, improving academic results across the USA. He will be the all new greatest American Hero.

 

3.) Kevin Nash, The Ultimate Warrior, Ric Flair, and The Rock are all being honored at a random "Famous Wrestlers" event in Los Angeles, California. Unfortunatley, at this time, they are all located in New York City. So they decide to carpool. Who drives the car, why, and how fast do they get from NYC to LA?

And Go!

Car?
Riding in a Car?

The Limousine Ridin', Jet Flying, Kiss Stealin', Wheelin' Dealin', Son of a Gun, The Nature Boy, Ric Flair!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOO!!­!!!!!!!

Gets Teddy Long to drive his Limo to the Airport:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeMx13ugnMo&feature=related

Then loads the crew into his Lear Jet that's ready and waiting to fly at 40,000 feet.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To7061dWIgg&feature=fvwrel

So they manage to get there in about 6 hours leaving New York, driving to the private air strip, flying across the continent, and landing at a private air strip about an hour outside of LA. They would have been there in 4 hours, but Nash tore his quad getting off the plane, and needed to be dropped off at a hospital en route to the convention.

[CharismaticZero]

1.   I am not a bad talker myself, and I would tell the Repo Man he is perfectly alright to take my vehicle, if he can me a favor first.  If he refuses, my car is locked in my garage, and if he destroys the garage door, he'll have to pay for that.   All I need for him to do is listen to, in its entirety this movie script I have laying around, he will recieve my vehicle when this is finally over.   I pull out the script to Mr. Nanny, starring Hulk Hogan and begin to read.....( I was considering just using the script from Sex & the City, but I didnt want to rip off American Dad completely.) I am an honest man, so in the event he makes it through it, I will give him my vehicle.  (However, during this reading, the spark plugs in his vehicle went missing.....) 

2.  I would throw a bunch of money at a young rookie who is about to sign with WWF.  His name is Dwayne Johnson.  He has an amazing pedigree, and seems to work well in the minor leagues.  I can slowly work this blue chipper against the NWO to bring some credibility to them, by having them want someone who can be the future of pro wrestling.  I would have him instead be the ultimate company man, fighting the good fight against the NWO.

3.   For some reason they allow the Ultimate Warrior to drive.  He starts ranting and raving about rocket ships, and the car takes off at some ludicrous speed.  A loud WOOOOOOOOOOO is heard as they continue down the road.   After a few days they have not arrived in LA.  The days turn to weeks, the weeks turn to months, and they have completely vanished.........No w we know to not let the Ultimate Warrior drive.  And knowing is half the battle.

[Daeva]

I think that it's telling that everyone that wasn't me decided to solve WCW's problems by throwing money at new talent, despite the instruction to stay true to WCW's staff at the time. Oh, WCW, nobody gives your mid-card any respect.

[SmartAssAssassin]

Wow.

Great answers for some utterly ludacris questions. You guys had me laughing quite a bit. Now for the scoring.

Question 1 Stop the Repo Man!

KBJ - 5 points. In my head, i was thinking anything with Big Boss Man was gonna be close to a winner. The fact that you mentioned him performing the Boss Man Slam sealed it for you.

Joker -2 Points. I like the crime loop, and the green energy. But you would have to let Repo get your car to begin with. Thats risky.

Daeva - 3 Points. Simplicity at its best. Since the dawn of time, 2 things have been certain in pro wrestling: The 3 count gtes you a win, and getting hit with a chair hurts.

Goth - 4 Points. Truth be told, any inclusion of late 80's early 90's wrestlers in the answre to this question was going to be a high scorer. Plus, i can totally see this as some messed up angle in the 80's, where somebody had Dibease wooooo the Repo Man away with loads of cash.

Zero - 1 Point. While the Mr. Nanny script would certainly put someone to sleep (or chase them away screaming) i wouldnt want to even give Repo the OPTION to sit through it and then take your car. Of course, missing spark plugs would make things a little more difficult for him, haha.

Question 2 Save WCW!

KBJ - 1 Point. Brett Hart being somehwat weak on the mic hurts this angle, as he more than likely would have had to go out and explain his stance on being the good guy week in and week out, and probably get into some verbal altercations with HBK. However, if WCW could have found a way to take the WWF's arguably 2 biggest superstars at the time, this would definatley have worked.

Joker - 3 points. I like it. And i feel its somehwat realistic. Rumors have always swirled about Vince secretly funding ECW, as both a healthy competiton and as a spot to send injured or green superstars, while still keeping them in the public eye. If any of this is the case,  then all it probably would have taken for WCW to get ECW was more money. And lord knows they still had it at the time.

Daeva - 5 Points. You win by default (keeping things true to WCW's roster) but also because i just looooooove this answer, for so many reasons. Its realistic, it would have been entertaining, and it may have saved the company. Pushing the cruiserweights and getting it over (and i think this is totally reasonable, as it worked in the early TNA years, until they strayed the path) would essentially have made 2 totally disticnt federations. WWF, where you still have traditional brawler type wrestling and promos, and WCW, where you have a more up tempo, high flying group of guys. It would be two totally different viewing experiences, it would have given guys a choice for a career and it may have given alot of smaller guys a much better shot at glory.

Goth - 4 Points. You also get credit for staying in WCW. And while im not sure Big Poppa Pump could have saved WCW the thought of  Professor Pump made me laugh.

Zero - 2 Points. Signing the Rock would definatley have swung things in WCW's favor, and like anything else, success breeds success. The Rock going to WCW may have inspired alot of other WWF superstars to think WCW, and the wrestling ladscape could be very different right now.

Question 3 Whos Driving Who?!

KBJ - 4 points. This question was made in hopes of getting as silly a response possible, and you did pretty damn good. Also, i like that you realized Nash would probably tear his quad.

Joker - 1 Point. I like that the Rock leaves lousy movies as tips. And kudos to remembering Warriors crappy old comic book.  

Daeva -3 Points. Good job remembering Nash tears his quad. My thinking is the Rock is too big and full of himself to drive, but the thought of Rock pulling over on main street in French Lick, Indiana, getting out of his car, and making his arrival announcement made me giggle.

Goth - 2 Points. I would have liked to have heard about what Warrior and The Rock were doing in this scenario. But Nice job remembering to mention Nash tears his quad. Also, a true Ric Flair answer to "driving" across country.

Zero - 5 Points. I would have liked to have heard more about the other occupants of teh car, but the fact that you have Warrior driving at high speed and just dissappearing was too much. I loved it.

So gentelmen, we have final scores as follows.

KBJ - 10 points.
Jokerfish - 6 Points
Daeva - 11 Points.
ANTIGOTH - 10 Points.
CharismaticZero - 8 Points.

So unless my math is off (and knowing me it could be) Daeva is the next DungeonMaster!!!!

Nice work to everybody, i really liked all thse answers.

[Daeva]

So unless I'm totally mistaken, the roster for my next round of torture... err, Dungeonmastering is:

SmartAssAssassin
Homeless
BigPimpin
Queensryche


Did I miss the fifth person's post or is the slot still open?

[Buddha Dudley]

I volunteer to be in the dungeon again if the spot is open.

[Antigoth]

Darn you Daeva!!!

I knew I should have mentioned the Warrior and Rock in my Answer... I was just having too much fun WOOOing as I was writing my answer.

I'd like in on the next round so I can try to avenge my two one point losses to Daeva.

BTW - Dave, nice job on doling out the points, and staying true to theme.

[Daeva]

I need to set up a filter that changes "Daeva" to "Daeva". 

[maskedllama]

I need to set up a filter that changes "Daeva" to "Daeva". 

I think one of your questions should be "where did the name Daeva come from?"   

[Daeva]

Too easy to Google.

I double- and triple-checked and I didn't miss anyone, so the current lineup is:
SmartAssAssassin
Homeless
Queensryche
BigPimpin
Buddha Dudley

Your questions, sirs:

1. Bob Backlund is on Password. The word that he is trying to get his partner to guess is "trophy". Assuming that his partner never guesses the word correctly, what are the three clues that Mr. Backlund gives?

2. Pretend that Mr. Excitement lost his match to John Cena and the GM spot is open. Who would be the best and worst choices for the spot? The only rule is that you're not allowed to use anyone who is under contract to another wrestling organization (no Vince Russo, sorry).

3. Name the greatest Japanese sports car of all time.

My parents stayed together for forty years, but that was out of spite.
