If we made picks here, do we need to reenter them using the automated Play Per View?

Yes, you do; only picks made by the automated system will be counted. I know that's a partial hassle for you and several others but you still have plenty of time to do so (picks close Saturday at 7:30 PM).

55 entries, not bad. That's more than three times what I had last time out doing it manually. :)

- McGuinness is a strong favorite over Aries
- The Briscoes are strong favorites over the No Remorse Corps
- Rocky Romero is the favorite to do the job in the Briscoes/Corps match with almost half the votes
- Danielson is a strong favorite over Morishima
- Castagnoli & Hero is essentially a draw and will probably be the key to the game if it makes PPV
- The Age of the Fall are the favorites in the Scramble with almost half the votes
- Marufuji's opponent is favored over Marufuji
- Based on a quick glance at everyone's picks, Low Ki/Senshi is the favorite to be Marufuji's opponent
- Daizee Haze is a slight favorite in the SHIMMER three-way
- Necro Butcher is a strong favorite in his match

Showtime, people.

I did.
And thought "ah, the 29th is ages away! I'll remember to submit my picks later!"
And every time i saw the thread i thought "I'll wait a bit longer. I wont forget."

But, of course, i forgot. And didnt realise i'd missed the deadline until i saw TK saying the deadline was gone.
I checked registration... closed.
So i threw out some picks in the thread. In hope that someone will take pity on me.

Jimthor for most forgetful SASBY 08.

[quote="JSIMP"]Saying Dirk might be top ten is far less ignorant than thinking that Carmelo is number one all-time.[/quote]


[quote="JSIMP"]No JCF, I obviously don't think that. I clearly said hopefully. And clearly offered up quite a bit for him.

You're the stupid motherfucker though, with your Carmelo is #1 all-time theory.[/quote]

Re: ROH "Rising Above" Play-Per-View - NOW AUTOMATED!

Some big news via the ROH Newswire today: The next PPV taping is going to be in Philadelphia on March 15th, which should be around the time "Rising Above" makes it to air.

BTW, spoilers for "Rising Above" and Final Battle are out there, but as with the last show, I'd appreciate everyone taking discussion of spoilers to the Indy Wrestling thread.

There is one thing I will mention as it pertains to the Play-Per-View, though: The Three-Way Dance between Jigsaw, Necro Butcher and Matt Cross was changed to a Four-Way Fray with the original three participants plus Mitch Franklin. However, despite the change, the match will be counted for the game since one of the original three participants ended up winning the match.

One of the few drawbacks of being a DirecTV customer has kicked in: It's the only US cable/satellite provider (to my knowledge) that doesn't have a distribution deal with ROH. Thus, I have to wait for a torrent to go up on PWT before I can score the show.

True enough... I'd just prefer to time Danielson/Morishima myself if I can.
