By the Numbers: Lethal Lottery 2014

30 Participants | 1 Winner

The Prize?

A special treat for this year's set of competitors. Not only becoming one of six to win the difficult Lethal Lottery event, but also capturing the WZCW World Heavyweight Championship in the process.

The method to the madness? Let’s look at the numbers.

5

The amount of winners the Lethal Lottery match has produced. An impressive set of WZCW superstars:

We see a clip of Big Will eliminating Steamboat Ricky to win Lethal Lottery I
We see a clip of Titus eliminating Carmen Bratchny to win Lethal Lottery II
We see a clip of Showtime eliminating Big Dave to win Lethal Loterry III
We see a clip of Ty Burna eliminating Big Dave to win Lethal Lottery IV
Finally, we see a clip of Drake Callahan eliminating Rush to win Lethal Lottery V.

What makes this match so special?

130​

The number of competitors that have competed in previous Lethal Lottery matches. 125 participants failed with only 5 standing tall.

12​

The amount of WZCW World Heavyweight Champions that have competed in the Lethal Lottery. Among those are several other decorated superstars. Including WZCW’s only Hall of Famer, Everest.

2​

Out of the all the Lethal Lotteries, only 2 participant have been female. Celeste Crimson was alone in her trials for four years. That was until last year when Sandy Deserts entered herself into the competition to make herself the second female to ever compete in a Lethal Lottery match. However, with the influx of women talent this year, the number of female competitors will at least double itself before it is all said and done!

7​

The record number of eliminations that the 6’6, 585 lb, Japan native, Manzo eliminated in Lethal Lottery I.

We see a clip of Manzo eliminating Aaron Craig.
We see a clip of Manzo eliminating Rajheem.
We see a clip of Manzo eliminating Davinda Jeatter.
We see a clip of Manzo eliminating Tom McBrady.
We see a clip of Manzo eliminating Glacier.
We see a clip of Manzo eliminating Murfish.
We see a clip of Manzo eliminating Chris Cobain.

Astonishingly enough, it took the same amount of people Manzo eliminated, to eliminate him from the same Lottery.

We see a clip of Big Will, Gus, Reaper, Kenny, Steamboat Ricky, Joe, and Disasterpiece eliminating Manzo.

Manzo’s record 7 eliminations not only hold the record for a single Lethal Lottery showing, but also held the record for the most eliminations collectively in all of the Lethal Lotteries; that was until Lethal Lottery IV.

8

The number of eliminations that Big Dave has accrued over the three Lethal Lotteries he has competed in. However, with Big Dave hanging up his boots this past year, and Blade at 7.5 eliminations, and Ty Burna at 7; it is very likely that we will crown a new elimination champion after Lethal Lottery VI.

1

The record number of seconds that Glacier lasted in the Lethal Lottery.

Just as Glacier enters the ring, Manzo furiously rushes him, only to deliver a massive clothesline, sending him right back out of the ring, eliminating him from the match.

50+

The amount of minutes that Steven Holmes spent in Lethal Lottery IV. He entered the competition at #2 and was the 28th man to be eliminated in the 30 man competition. His record lasted only one year before being contested.

3

The number Drake Callahan entered in at Lethal Lottery V before he went on to win the entire event. As there is no actual time calculated at this event, no definitive winner can be named, but both Drake and Holmes are definitely in contention for the top spot.

The crowd begins booing loudly as Drake continues to hold onto the top rope, staring down at Rush before sitting down on the apron, holding his head in his hands as he realizes he's done it.

1 to 4

The ratio of eliminations that “Showtime” David Cougar gained on his path to victory at Lethal Lottery III versus other Lethal Lottery winners. Showtime eliminated only 1 person compared to Big Will, Titus, and Ty Burna who all scored 4 eliminations on their path to victory. Drake Callahan scored 4.5 with the help of some combined eliminations. Yet, Showtime proved that it is not about the amount of work you do, but rather capitalizing on other’s misfortune.

Showtime suddenly jumps forward and hits a huge Enziguri, sending both men off the turnbuckle to the outside! Showtime frantically reaches out and gets one hand on the middle rope, sending his body crashing hard into the side of the ring, his feet mere inches from the ground as Dave lands back first onto the outside mat.

#3, #7, #13, #8

These are the numbers that previous winners have entered at. Despite the luck of having the final spot, it seems that the lower half is where someone wants to enter the event at.

40%

Perhaps the most convincing stat of them all. 40% of Lottery winners have went on to win the big one at Kingdom Come. However, with this year's event being for the World Heavyweight Championship, the winner will have a chance to make himself the only Lethal Lottery winner to win the title at the LL event and then go on to successfully defend it at the grandest stage of them all.

We get clips from past Lotteries. We see people teaming up, eliminating one another, performing amazing acrobatics, and then finally end on a clip of last year’s Lottery winner, Drake Callahan, staring up at the Kingdom Come sign after his victory.​

Welcome onto the Road to Kingdom Come

:lmao:

How did I get .5 of an elimination?
 
Thriller is correct, I awarded group eliminations with a .5 instead of a solid 1.

Also, I have a list of great Lethal Lottery moments somewhere else. Baller's pin is on that list, but he didn't make the cut for the By the Numbers piece.
