Spoilered below because it includes info about next week's Raw.

Click it to show whats spoilered.

And just like that I'm no longer the favorite as the biggest certainty in the federation, HHH, no shows for 2 straight tapings leading to a PPV and Snitsky seems to be a lock to replace him in the Chamber

This is actually pretty tasteless.....

From Rajah's Oratory Smackdown report:

Curt Hawkins & Zach Ryder vs Moore Wang

Shannon Moore’s tattoo parlour is Gas Chamber Inc? Because nothing sells body art like the holocaust. Maybe it’s a buy 2, get a serial number on your arm kind of deal.

At least its good to see that nothing is wrong with HHH. He missed the tapings Monday due to the death of his brother in law (sister's husband). Bad timing for a double taping but at least he'll be back for the PPV.

Another bad week of tapings for team Farn is making things tight going into No Way Out.

Based upon some sketchy spoilers, I have wiggs with 125, GO with 134, Farn with 82 and me with 150.

I benefitted from multiple wins from Punk and a 'Main Event' win for Finlay (with Edge's marriage proposal being last in the show). wiggs had wins from Y2J, Kofi, Cena and Kane but not much else. GO got a main event win from Hardy (can't wait to see that match with HBK!), a Taker win but Morrison and MVP losses. Farn got a Horny win and HBK main event loss, but nothing from Beth or HHH, with Edge nothing but a promo and vignette hurting and a JBL loss.

The spoilers are on the sketchy side so they don't always have every promo, vignette or curtain jerker.

Don't worry Farn - you'll gain at least 40 points on me for the RAW Chamber main event.

Handicapping NWO:

wiggs gets:
Jericho in the Chamber, and likely a Main Event, but no win. Prediction: 12+20+15=47
Rey in title match, but a loss: 12+15=27
Kennedy vs. Flair, you assume a loss, maybe even a DQ: 12+15=27
As of now Kane and Kofi aren't in. Total = 101

GO gets:
Hardy in the Chamber main event. It's hard to see him winning. 12+20+15=47
MVP in Chamber. 12+15=27
Undertaker in Chamber, and likely winning. 12+30=42
Chavo vs. Punk. I'm guessing a DQ finish: 12+10+10=32
As of now, no Morrison or Miz. Total: 148

Farn:
HBK in Chamber. 12+20+15=47
HHH winning the Chamber. 12+20+30=62
Beth defending vs. Mickie?? 12+30+5=47
JBL in Chamber. 12+20+15=47
Edge successfully defending title. 12+30+10=52 Total: 208 w/o Beth victory, 255 if she wrestles and wins

Species:
Batista in Chamber. 12+15=27
Orton losing to Cena. 12+15=27
CM Punk DQ win. 12+18=30
Umaga in Chamber. 12+15+20=47
Finlay in Chamber. 12+15=27
No Shelton. Total. 158

So don't fret Farn. You'll still be in the lead after NWO.

Good to see the younger generation is shaping up...


- According to local news reports, developmental talent Ted DiBiase Jr. was caught driving under the influence this morning in Tampa, Florida and promptly arrested.

DiBiase was involved in an accident with his SUV which struck another vehicle, but thankfully there were no serious injuries.

The 25-year-old was taken into custody around 3:30AM on South West Shore Boulevard at Browning Avenue with two breathalizer performed with results of 0.137 and 0.138. A driver's blood-alcahol level being higher than 0.08 is juddged to be an offence in Florida

From Rajah's oratory Raw review:

Candice returns

Oh, 6% of WWE fans thinks Maria shouldn’t pose for Playboy. Not coincidentally, 6% of WWE fans are gay. Maria is able to do something that Mickie James hasn’t been able to do in months, and she was able to do it barefeet. Let the Playboy push begin. Candice looks smoking hot. Since Beth Phoenix’s character looks like a carpet muncher anyway, why wouldn’t she want to look just to see naked pics of Maria?

LMFAO!

I'll show you! You'll see!


That beaing said if any of the Big 4 are looking for a possible 30pt/Tuesday scorer for one final push towards a season 10 title, Stevie Richards can be had for a 2nd round draft pick if you have one sitting around that you were going to waste in season 11.

If I had a pick I would do that! haha...

Here's a mini-proposal for next year.
Curious if we wanted to edit scoring for the Elimination Chamber matches. Something similar to the Rumble with elimination and order of finish bonuses - maybe the Final 2 get a bump etc. Thoughts?

Kind of like each remaining wrestler gets 2 points when someone is eliminated? I'm surprised you didn't have something like that already implemented. Makes perfect sense.

Sure is gonna be a crapshoot next season and beyond, thats for sure.

Can Wiggs pull off the unthinkable and win BOTH belts at Wrestlemania?!
And I would again like to pat myself on the back for the "Wrestlemania Grand Finale" scenario because it really makes it like a Super Bowl here. It would suck if its all climactic at Wrestlemania, but then you gotta wait to read Smackdown spoilers to know if you won. Thats the whole point of the rule, and I think its working as planned.

I could really envision a scenario where the 3 big guns are all tied, and then whoever wins the main event - the last match of the night, the last match of the season... they win the RWF Championship right along with whoever wins that match.

Cena vs. HHH vs. Orton
Wiggs. vs. Farn vs. Species

And watch Wiggs win it with Cena... and then Hardy or Kennedy comes down after winning MITB and beat Cena for the belt and the RWF title changes right along with it!

Which reminds me. Jeff Hardy could be had for draft picks or a combo of draft picks and someone who either outscores Morrison, or who I like better than Morrison (meaning I lose Morrison, keep whoever I acquire).

If I don't win this season I think I'm going to take next season off (not quit, just trade away pieces). I will have enough talent to compete but I really want to win the Season 12 belt. Why?

Because I fully expect to be in attendance at WM26 in 2010 right here in Phoenix. I want to sit there, scoresheet in hand, watching as my guys win the title.

p.s. Anybody want to plan towards making that an RWF gathering?

Still a few hours here before the trade deadline and everyone is for sale... upgrade those last keeper spots! change out your leading scorer! make sure your entire roster is the PPV! looking for Season 12 draft picks... Its your RWF duty to at least look at these guys and see if they could help your squad.

In accordance with its Substance Abuse and Drug Testing Policy, WWE has suspended Jeff Hardy for 60 days, for his second violation of the company’s policy.

Now if only Morrison had enough in him to catch Hardy for leading scorer. Unfortunately with only 3 weeks left he'll probably fall 50 points or so short. Timing just not right... like Cena getting injured and costing me Punk last season.

Of course that suspension could still mean Hardy on TV just with no pay anyhow.

I doubt it. He dropped the title last night probably to specifically disappear from TV. He was removed from the MITB match at WM so there would be no reason to show him on TV.

c'mon Morrison!!! :) 40 points a week and sneak into MITB and it could just be enough.

Glad I gave up on the season at least now that Hardy's done anyway.
I was thinking last night that with Taker likely winning the belt and being on both shows a few times I still had an outside chance.

Does anybody know who Mickie James pissed off?

She last appeared on TV 7 weeks ago when they were building a nice little storyline with Beth. She was unable to beat Beth each week individually and was showing visible frustration. She then scored a tag win over her in Week 16 and hasn't appeared since.

Yeah, I get that they needed Maria in a WM match. But why couldn't Mickie have been in it? Outside of Victoria she's the best female in the business.

Sometimes I just shake my head at the stupidity of the bookings. And its worse when you watch old video where they used to build toward storylines for 2 months before a PPV climax.
