AoN Discussion: Over the Top Rope Battle Royal (Pre-Show) - Lethal Lottery Qualifier

[Viola Moonlight]

Participants: Brent Blaze, Connor Reese, Dustin Hunter, Jimmy Flynn, Mister Alhazred, Ricky Runn, Sandy Deserts & Thrash

Late last night a crack addict by the name of Hobo Joe hacked into WZCW's Website and posted an article that stated all non-booked roster members would compete in 4-Corners-Pictionrary event at All or Nothing. Since then, Hobo Joe has been arrested and the WZCW Management would like to apologize for the confusion. Good news though! WZCW does have a match for all of those not booked on the card. On the All or Nothing PreShow, we will host an Over-The-Top-Rope Battle Royale for all of those not on the actual card. The winner will be gifted with the first official Lethal Lottery spot. Good luck!​

I'd love to see Thrash win this & be in the LL. It could open up doors for him early on & really, having been here for one match so far, it sounds good. I've got RP ideas that I think could work, providing I could put them down & make it killer, it may be possible.

However, looking from a proper perspective, I would say Thrash, Dustin Hunter, Jimmy Flynn, Brent Blaze & Connor Resse are the 5 who probably aren't the likely ones to win this. Ricky Runn, Alhazred & Deserts seem like the top 3 to me. If I had to pick a final 4, I'd go for either myself or Reese. When it comes down to the finish, I see Sandy Deserts picking up the vital win. However, Ricky Runn's bad luck might come into play and he may fall into Deserts, knocking her over the top rope not realising he's both won the match and broken both of her legs.

It doesn't matter who wins this since either X, JGlass, Doc or Harthan are going win Lethal Lottery. I'd say FalKon wins this by pulling those same dirty creative tricks he has been pulling for years.

What I love about this contest is that its a blend of newer guys coming together with some of the more seasoned professionals. It forces the new guys to gain experience for facing tough opponents early and not continuously face people who are on the lower end of the card. Rarely do I see newer guys win from these situations but after these matches, I do see great improvement.

I don't want to sound over-confident here but I believe that Sandy would be perceived as the biggest threat by most people so everyone is gunning for her. She's got to pull something great out for this match if she wants to survive, methinks. Although personally, Connor is my main worry. Dark house goes to Mister Alhazred whose weird and eccentric personality works to his advantage.

Don't worry about any creative clout for this match - Prophet/Sonnen is just jealous of my stunning good looks.

Pretty much this. I know how good I am, and I'm pretty sure I've got the ability to win this match. However, I sure as hell am not a ME quality RPer. I'm not good enough to win the Lottery, let alone the title at KC. Therefore, I'm not convinced winning the match is desirable. If i do, I'm locked into competing in the LL match, which limits the involvement I could have in a feud with another character. If not, I can do something else and try to politic my way into a singles match, or something.

I disagree.

Whoever wins this actually has a pretty nice advantage for the Lottery, in my mind. The Lottery is easily one of the biggest matches of the year and, if I may break my trend of kayfabe answers, it has some of the best RPs of the year every year. The winner of this match will have plenty of time to come up with, edit, and perfect their Lottery RP as opposed to people that qualify the round before or even find out when boards go up. For some of the more experienced writers in this match, that could be the difference between a decent showing and being around at the end of the match.

How many men are in Lethal Lottery?

The number is unconfirmed as of right now. There will be more revelation about the actual number of participants once the new cycle starts.

As much as i'd LOVE for Dustin to take this one I can honestly say I don't think I have a shot in hell. I'm the newest one to WZCW and everybody else has more experience. I just hope I can put up a good fight here and at the very least not be the first one eliminated.

I have a couple ideas i'm tossing around in my mind for my RP this week though, I think they have potential to be pretty good but it will come down to how good I can write it. If I was to guess my pick would be for Sandy or Ricky to win this one.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

I must say, as well as this match giving the winner a great reward, the fact there's 8 of us in it could lay the groundwork for a new feud or two. All it takes is a dodgy elimination. it'd be cool to see a newer superstar getting into a feud with a more established one.

 

[ABMorales787]

Alhazred will hump his way to victory on this one. What better way to fire up a crowd than with a little comedy?

 

[a0161613]

Alhazred, Sandy, Ricky or Reese for me. Each have been pretty interesting recently and have enough experience between them to win any match. My interest is drawn by what the winner gets.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Alhazred's been doing a top job as of late and was my vote initially to face Smith for the Elite X title. He's the man I've got my eye on here, though in saying that the field is very open and we could see a surprise or two even.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

Alhazred all the way. Reese could win it too though.

Do your best and you never know. I got a shot at Holmes and his Elite (X) title in like my fifth match, and pulled one of the biggest shocks of the year. Just goes to show you can never know what might happen; all you can be sure of is whether your RP is as good as it possibly can be.

As for the match, I'm seeing Alhazred or Runn, maybe Connor Reese. But this is one of those matches that could literally go to anyone. Should make for a fun pre-show.

I love so much about this post. Literally laughed out loud.


And for all you new guys... don't use that as a crutch or an excuse. It's BS, dude. I'm still kinda new and I'm not being jobbed out because I'm a rookie. If you're good, you'll win... rookie or veteran.

Agree 100%. Like I said, I'm still kinda new, but I've been Mayhem Champ for a couple of weeks... or months now, I think. =/



As for this match, I'm rooting for Alhazred soooo badly. I became a fan after the thrusting. It still makes me laugh... so yeah, I hope he wins, but I'm thinking Sandy might be able to pull this one out. If not, it's The Love Machine or Connor Reese.

 

[Bernkastel]

I believe in my tag team partner. Even though Sandy is a relatively new character with her gimmick change and all, I believe that Falkon has the tools to churn out something brilliant. If I had to pick a dark horse I'd go with Alhazred - Skully's written a few gems before. If he can channel Alhazred like he did Facecrush he's got the match in the bag.

Excellent attitude to have. Being a rookie means nothing. I became the first (of this era of WZCW, throwing that in just for Steamboat) Eurasian Champion right after debuting, just as you have won the Mayhem Championship. Take note of this attitude rooks, and write your RP with extreme confidence that you will win.

As for the match, I gotta go with Alhazred, or at least pull for him to win it. Dude is absolutely hilarious and Red Skull has a great mind for writing, even if it goes way into the bizarre that will forever cause me to never watch a Prince Devitt match the same way again.

Reese would be my pick after Alhazred. Remix's vocal RP's are great, and definitely something different to the norm.

It's shit.

Stay well away from the thing. People get confused about when the wrestlers are eliminated and only the last part of the match matters.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Thought of a pretty good idea for my RP for the PPV, As long as I can translate that to writing well I think my RP will turn out great for this round. Planning on writing up a rough draft tomorrow so we'll see how it goes!

 

[Richard Blonoff]

Even if you don't win a match like this can really help build momentum for yourself. A couple months back I was returning from a brief hiatus and wrote what was maybe my best RP for a battle royal and it really propelled me from comedy sidekick to a legit singles threat. I can honestly say without that RP, even though it didn't win, I would probably be toiling around with not much to do right now as opposed to being in a very nice feud.

Even thought I think Sandy and Alhazred have an edge here, this should be very close. The younger guys can really bring something big that no one is expecting and each veteran here knows how to win. These matches are a great way to take your character in a new direction without risking much, and they can really help you out.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

Yaz is really hitting the mark here & I know this is a late ass reply, but it's true. This match can really help to boost a newbie and push them up the card and/or into a feud. As great as it would be for a newbie to even win this, Connor Reese/Sandy Deserts have really given their all here.
