I started a new thread because it got to a second page, and plus I wanted us to move past the bad feelings we had last week. So this is a new day for the The-W.Com WWE Fantasy report.
First, as usual, the standings.

John Orqiuola regained the lead this week, but TribalProphet and LanceJr are right behind him. High score for the week belongs to evophile. I continue to move up the rankings after missing week 1. I am awesome!
Below are the top performers for week 4. I've added a new column called Count. This lists how many teams in the league had that performer for that week.

So as you can see, the biggest surprises were apparently Big Show and Eugene, who each had only 3 out of 37 teams pick them. And that Foreign Object Shot by Mickie James? That was the cardboard belt she hit Victoria with during the Halloween Costume Contest (which was also scored as a specialty match with no winner).
This week, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper has been added to the game. Hey wait, his finisher is a sleeper? Don't expect any Finisher win points out of him.
Hey, I don't know if you guys knew this, but the Top 10 Scorers each week get a prize. The closest anyone from The-W has come so far this year was week 1, when deezNuts' team finished 16 points away from getting a free T-shirt from WWE Shopzone. In week 2, John Orquiola's team finished 18 points away from getting a free T-shirt. Since then, however, the margin has increased considerably.
In the real world, WWE believes that no matter what our race, religious creed or ethnic background in America, we all share the common bond of being Americans. American-Arabs are a part of the fabric of America, and they should be embraced by all of us.
As a break from my usual obnoxious heel promo, I'm gonna publicly flog myself. I regained the number one spot. Big deal. I'll have you know my original roster consisted of Kane, Big Show, and Ric Flair.
I traded all three after I heard Shawn Michaels would be main eventing RAW (which somehow in my mind made me think would lead to him winning the WWE Title at Taboo Tuesday). Then I read all the Internet reports about Kane having a broken back and I traded him and Show thinking that no way would WWE put the tag belts on them. Shows what I know. I almost wanted to throw up when Show and Kane squashed the Heart Throbs on RAW and decimated Cade and Murdoch on Tuesday. Finally, there's Ric Flair, who I just didn't think would beat Triple H in Triple H's first match since returning from the DL. The tip off there was WWE's evasiveness about whether Flair vs. Triple H would be for the IC Title. When it was settled that it was, after the roster lock, I figured I was sunk since Triple H would probably not be Intercontinental Champion when the WWE Title is his main goal. Flair got his miraculous victory and I imploded mentally.
If I'd stuck to my guns and stayed with my original roster, I'd be miles ahead of Tribal and the Jr.
The lesson: go with your gut and don't over think stuff.
Unless you're a moron anyway and then you'll need all the help you can get.
Hey, I'm right there with ya' as far as Kane and the Big show go. I couldn't even watch their match on RAW.
I also didn't think Flair would have a chance, but I had Michaels in his place to begin with, so I ended up feeling stupid, but at least not swearing over it like I was with Kane.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO HIS BROKEN BACK!?!?"
Tribal Prophet
Damn, I finally won a week and am still a LOONNG ways from #1, heh.
The Kane thing pissed me off as well, as I originally had him and Big Show, but went out of my way not to pick Kane. Thank goodness I kept Show as a "just in case" as I also got Cade.
On the other hand, the internet also kept me from getting Edge, which would have been a huge waste.
Torrie Wilson was a waste though, could have got Biscoff instead.
Once I found out HHH was a title match I got pissed as well for picking him.
And damn, Conway only half came through this week.
This was an odd PPV with a lot of no shows and switches at the last minute.
John Orquiola again had the top week, building his lead over Tribal Prophet to 35. evophile also had a good week, making four pretty close competitors before a big drop-off.

As you can see, Candice, Victoria, JBL, and Ric Flair were all mostly surprises on the high score list this week, whereas people have caught on to Bobby Lashley, Kane, and Chris Masters.
Lineups for Week 6 lock at Noon on Sunday, because of Raw and Smackdown! both being taped at a supershow Sunday night in Minneapolis. This is because after that they are going to England, where week 7's Raw and Smackdown will appear from.
New stars available for Week 6 include The Boogeyman, The Dicks, and Kid Kash.

Boffo, just out of curiosity, why are your ranking totals different from what's posted at wwe.com? I noticed they were off last week and this week, just looking at the top three in the league, you have my total off by 3 points, Tribal's by 2 points, and LanceJr's by 10 points. According to you, our scores are less than the totals wwe.com gives us.
Secondly, although this doesn't benefit me or my plans to win the game, I'd like to say that everyone in the league at less than 1000 points needs to step up. This season is half over, there are five more weeks and two pay per views coming up - plenty of opportunity to score huge points with some strategy, skill and no small amount of luck.
A general malaise tends to set in after it's apparent that a select few have a hold on the top spots in the league. I saw it last season. However, I'd also like to point out that nothing is set in stone. This game is only half over. I haven't won nor do I think my victory is in anyway a (Master)lock. Anything can happen. Furthermore, for those a couple of hundred points or more shy of the top spot who think they can't win the game or finish in the top ten or five, I'd like to remind everyone that last season, LanceJr spent half the season mired at number 37 and then week by week, clawed his way into the top five. I'm still totally impressed by that.
The teams at the bottom who aren't playing or don't care - well, I don't get why they even signed up. I don't get some of these players. This game is about drafting a new roster every week, not picking one set and sticking with it. The rules are pretty simple if you read and understand them. What's the point of even playing? This is just a dumb fantasy game and I don't take it any more seriously than a good night of playing Halo 2 on Xbox Live, but as long as I'm playing, I might as well try my best or else it's a waste of time and effort.
Right now, I'm totally enjoying the vicious triple threat match going on between myself, Tribal Prophet and LanceJr. This competition is what's making this season interesting for me. But what would be even more interesting is an even more chaotic battle royal for the top spot in the league.
Don't get me wrong, I think everyone in the top 20 or so is giving a pretty good effort. I'm just reminding everyone that this game is only half over, that there's plenty of opportunity to rise (and fall) and that anything can happen.
Let's have the best game we can.
(It'll make my victory mean more when I add the Season 5 League Championship to my Season 4.)
Discrepancies are due to them making changes after I have done it. I always wait until the 1 pm deadline on Saturday, but sometimes they discover that they've made a mistake. Since I only add in the latest weeks totals to the numbers I already had each week, I am unaware of corrections after the fact. I'll fix the totals and then try to remember to double check them with the official numbers each week.
EDIT: It's now updated. In week 2, they added 4 points to Edge (Finisher Victory), and 3 points to Ken Kennedy. In week 3, they added 3 points to Paul Burchill. The only change to the standings is that Flaming Box of Stuff moved up two positions.

I love it too, and if anyone's wondering if they can move up, I'm going out on a bit of a limb this week with my picks. Not crazy where I'm picking 30 $1,000,000 players or anything, but enough of a reach where I could either get a bunch of points, or else be lucky to be in the top 10.
But I've changed my picks 5 times so far, and I'm sure I will change them again, so who knows what will happen. This week alone makes things really wide open.
This is a 5-hour tape, so I'll try to be less verbose (likely without success). This is also the first tape that I hadn't watched before re-watching for a Wienerboard review. 1. Mini Abismo Negro (Champ) vs.
