- I'm giving 10 points to people who appear all year on TV and don't get them (aka Lillian)
- All of the HOF'ers who appeared got 10. Flair did not come out for the introduction.
- Regal and Long were given 10 each for appearing prior to the Brand Supremacy match.
- I didn't try to figure out which divas were out there. It didn't effect scoring and none of them are likely to be keepers but if someone wants to sort it out feel free
John Legend +10 Lillian Garcia +10 Kim Kardashian +5 Howard Finkel +10 Jack Brisco +10 Jerry Brisco +10 Rocky Johnson +10 Mae Young +10 Snoop Dogg +10+10 Floyd Mayweather +5+12+30 Raven Symone +10

Congrats to Species on his third RWF Title (Season 1, Season 8, and now Season X)
Congrats to Species...35 points, is that the closest finish in this games history?

Thanks Bobo, and without looking at all ten seasons, I'd have to assume so!
Season 8 was just as exciting, however, as Great One (through superior management) climbed ahead of me at Wrestlemania, only to have Matt Hardy win the tag titles the next night on RAW out of NOWHERE. This was when we included the scoring of the next week's shows (consistent with our normal "scoring weeks", which include a PPV, RAW and Smackdown).
This turn of events caused GO to propose the "Super Bowl" rule, where the season ends with the final PPV - either Wrestlemania or (typically) No Mercy.

I would like to point out that I proposed the Super Bowl rule several weeks BEFORE the season ended and I got screwed when completely new storylines started the next night (Hardys win the belts in a tag team battle royale to start new fueds)... that just served to prove me right that we were ending the season at the wrong time.

Few housekeeping tidbits....
Hawkins and Ryder should each have 10 points for interfering in the ME.
Every Diva on the roster (besides the 4 in the match) can be given 10 for being lumberjacks. I didn't notice any of them missing. Correction, Candice wouldn't get 10. She didn't appear.

Re: #6 - my bad on the timing.
I do agree though that you were right. The Super Bowl format is better. More finality.
As was probably argued at the time, changing the rules in the middle of a season (or even worse, 80% of the way through) just didn't make sense. You got screwed by the results, but it was completely within the context of the rules we used for 8 seasons.

Speaking of rules updates... gotta brainstorm the next 24 hours and go over a few things. I know a few things came up during the season (Elimination Chamber specific scoring I think was one)... anyone remember any other proposals? or have any other ideas we want to put up for vote?
