|  #1 Posted on 14.2.12 1349.15 | Instant Rating: 7.63 | Hi!
Hard to believe this is the 8th year I've been keeping track of the predictions for WWE PPVs here on The-W. Below you'll find the results of this year's prediction contest (which ran from Elimination Chamber 2011 to Royal Rumble 2012). Really happy with the turnout this year, as I think we had a record number of people who predicted all 13 PPVs.
Just one request for future prediction threads: I only count wins and losses here, so if you post something like "Cena retains" rather than the actual result, in the past, I've assumed that you mean Cena wins and retains rather than Cena retains but may lose by DQ. To make things clearer in the future, if you could put something like "Cena wins and retains," it'd help me out a lot.
Also, if for whatever reason you have any issues with these results (like you may feel I missed a PPV you predicted or if my math is off or something), I'd appreciate it if you'd take it up with me in PM rather than cluttering the thread with that stuff. Gracias!
If you're familiar with the rankings, feel free to skip this next section. If you're a newbie, here's some C&P'ing from last year's thread to explain how I do my thing:
I split the results into three categories based on the number of PPVs guessed. The top level is for those who guess between 6-13 PPVs; the middle level is for those who guessed 4 and 5; and finally, the lower level is for those who guessed 1-3. Since I don't think it would be fair for someone who guessed only one PPV and went 4-0 to win the title, I arbitrarily made the decision to make only those who guessed between 6-13 eligible for the big prize. It also encourages people to predict more PPVs. If you are atop the other two levels, you can also proclaim yourself winner of that level at least, even if it's not the overall crown.

Does this mean I key the keys to the Executive Crapper or something?
I'm always amazed at the amount of effort geemoney put into this. I'm not sure exactly how much that is, but it looks like a LOT. In previous years I always feel a little bad when this list comes out, cause I start the tipping year full of enthusiasm, road to Wrestlemania (*does sign point) and all, but end up falling away as the years tedious, or worse, botched storylines cause me to lose interest. So I was genuinely surprised at that result.
Also, I can't help but acknowledge the irony that my best form at the tipping table has been in the year where I've watched the least WWE, and indeed, where many of my tips have been based in snark or cynicism. Maybe there's something in that for Vince. Or not.
Anyways, thanks geemoney. You're a legend! I am now going to spend the duration of the day strutting around with an air of entitlement.
Cheers

| #8 Posted on 15.2.12 0547.27 | Woot, #21. Not too bad for my first full attempt. And not too bad for being relatively clueless about way too much regarding wrestling... Here's where I will admit that I didn't get hooked until I saw the Edge-Big Show-Vickie love triangle.  (I want Funky back, too!)
I need to be less safe with my picks, though.
Thanks a lot geemoney! These threads were the primary reason I de-lurked a bit. | Mr Shh

Anagrams only lie 25% of the time! Better numbers than I would've done if I just did straight predictions.

I was shocked to see I went from #22 to #4! I have to give all credit for that improvement to me finally learning to Embrace The HATE Schizophrenic Booking.
Really appreciate the work. It's actually one of the big reasons I got back into watching wrestling a couple years ago. | Ecks

Kinda like the bonus matches being included in the counts. It's like the power ball in the lottery!
Is there a rule on gambling on this years prediction thread (of course there is..there has to be right?) geemoney, if committed enough (obviously he is...8 years so far) may just have created an awesome fantasy game out of this business.
