As many of you already know, ECW is making a comeback. And like many of you, I'm excited. So instead of just talking about... say... what the roster might be, I say we make a game of it.
The Game:
Each player has until June 11th (the day of One Night Stand II) to make up a roster of twenty independent wrestlers (as in, does not currently under a WWE contract) that they feel will make the ECW roster. For the purposes of this game, workers in the OVW and DSW developmental territories who are not currently a part of the main WWE roster and are not ECW alumnists count as independent workers. Players can change their lists as much as they want up until 8:00 PM Eastern time on June 11th, but he or she has to explain themselves. The points will continue to be tallied until ECW holds their first house show or TV taping, which ever comes first. Gossip may be posted in this thread, but try not to go crazy.
Points:
Three Points will be awarded to the player or players who correctly guess a worker before the June 11th deadline. The player will then have to fill the now-vacant roster spot. If these vacancies are not filled by the deadline, two points will be dectucted for each empty spot.
One Point will be awarded to the player or players who correctly guess a worker after the June 11th deadline. A bonus point will be given if the worker is not an ECW alumnist.
