Special Royal Rumble 2019 Pick'ems (Men and Women)

[cero2k]

Rules and Regulations

Each contestant will need to make the following picks:

make separate posts for women and men rumbles.

Entrant #2 -- Because the WWE will at times announce who will be the #1 entrant in the Rumble, predictions on the 1/2 entrant can become irrelevant. So we will start with the #2 Entrant. -------- Making a correct pick for the #2 Entrant will award a contestant 10 points!

First Wrestler Eliminated -- Easy to understand, no need to explain. -------- Making a correct pick for the First Wrestler Eliminated will award a contestant 10 points!

Shortest Time in the Rumble -- Easy to understand, no need to explain. -------- Making a correct pick for the wrestler with the Shortest Time in the Rumble will award a contestant 10 points!

Longest Time in the Rumble -- Easy to understand, no need to explain. -------- Making a correct pick for the wrestler with the Longest Time in the Rumble will award a contestant 10 points!

Most Eliminations in the Rumble -- Easy to understand, no need to explain. -------- Making a correct pick for the wrestler with the Most Eliminations in the Rumble will award a contestant 10 points!

The Final Four --- Easy to understand, but the points awarded for these picks need explained. Correctly predicting a Final Four wrestler will award a contestant 5 points each, with a chance at 20 total points for correctly predicting the complete Final Four -------- Making a correct pick for the Final Four in the Rumble will award a contestant 5 points for each Wrestler correctly picked, 20 possible points for correctly picking all Final Four!

Surprise Entrants -- Points will be awarded for correctly predicting a Surprise Entrant in the Rumble.

I think an exception should be made for people who aren't under contract or have been injured for a significant period of time that isn't quite six months to count as surprise entrants (remember that Evolution was less than six months ago, which disqualifies a lot of WWE's likely "surprise return from the past" choices for the women).

that's kinda what i answered Bob-O, anyone not in the main roster I'd consider a surprise, meaning they're either NXT/NXTUK/not signed. The 6 month thing applies more for returns. We haven't updated the text in many years.

What's the ruling on the Bellas and Maryse, who have wrestled in the past six months and are under contract, but have largely been absent recently?

They're all in the roster page and have wrestled in the last 6 months, they're not surprises. Like i can't remember the last time i saw Mike Bennett/Maria/blonde dude from Sanity, but i wouldn't consider any of them surprises either, they've all been around here and there

For that matter, i also consider 205Live as 'main roster'
