Somewhat self serving, but heck, it would benefit everyone over time.

Any interest in scoring the matches that occur on a PPV preshow? I'm guessing a bunch of us get the Network. To me the preshow is part of the show at this point since nobody pays for PPVs over their actual TV account anymore.

Not a vote yet. Just looking for initial thoughts and any negatives that might result.

I was thinking the same thing. We score the othere tv shows seems like better matches on the preshow

Agreed. There are often title matches as well. A proposal I had would be to score them normally but not award the ppv match bonus points.

I think we could score same way we score Main Event (any regular win/loss/DQ + applicable title match) points. That would be easy enough. I'm cool with implementing that immediately unless there is a strong opinion otherwise.

Oh good idea RJ. That makes sense that they wouldn't get the PPV bonus but would still be considered real matches.

I love the idea but I wouldn't mind waiting for a couple more people to weigh in just to be safe. We have a few days to finalize an easily implemented rule change.

Well, 4 of us are already in favor so unless all the other 4 are against we'll have a majority.

So it will be as simple as --- Cesaro vs. Swagger in the preshow? Cesaro = 30, Swagger = 15. Done, no PPV no other extra curricular etc. The King of Swing gets a deserving win albeit without the PPV bonus points which is fair cause it wasn't part of the PAY per viewing.

I had already been thinking the same thing when I tried out my network w/ Wrestlemania. Not really a pre-show anymore.

WWE Main Event Scoring + PPV Preshow Matches
The only thing scored are W/L points (or DQ/No Contest) points.
The only additional points would be if it were a championship or specialty match.

Promo's, interference, announcing, valet, backstage, vignettes, main event match etc. scoring are all ignored.

Check this guy out, he apparently just got signed to a WWE dev deal and he has some great moves for a 5'10" 280lb guy. I officially dub him "The Black Samoa Joe".

Things were looking up with the Miz's return and my lineup getting deeper... then minutes later RJ gets y2J back out of nowhere. And then there's Aj (pregnant?!) too.

And while I have 3 guys in the main event of Battleground... if Rollins cashes in after the main event I'd lose 60 main event points and he would gain like 100 extra from Rollins. Thats a hell of a swing in the last seconds of this playoff round.

The drama of a head to head playoff matchup!

Yes last night's RAW made things very interesting! I had no idea AJ was coming back and Jericho was even more of a surprise. I just hope my more bummish type guys (Fox and Sin Cara) can at least score some points to make up for missing out on the Diva's title win last night.

What happened to being able to see un-owned (free agent) scoring? Me doing an emergency waiver move is completely null and void now.

I'll take Ambrose at #2.

So Nailer is up at #3.
