Well, we've already decided on a stipulation for the tag title match, but we could be persuaded to change it to a Reindeer on a Pole match.

Can anyone explain why is their a Reindeer on a pole in the first place?

Ask Russo.

Ty was pretty hammered when he suggested it.

That 6-Man elimination match. Can it be an Eggnog Drinking Contest?

 

[Барбоса]

We Three Kings Match

Ty Burna vs Alex Bowen vs Barbosa

 

[Uncle Phatso]

6 man elimination what? Did I miss a show?

Barbs has the right idea!

 

[Johnny Scumm]

There's a 6-Man elimination match to determine who gets the final place in the Lethal Lottery.

The winner of my four-way match on Aftershock gets put into that 6-Man match at AoN.

 

[Ty Burna]

It's not an elimination match but yes there is a six man match at AoN. It's based off of ROH's version of the six pack challenge where it includes lucha libre rules. If a legal competitor exits the ring a new person can immediately enter without tagging in.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

My mistakes & apologies. Thought it was elimination.

 

[Uncle Phatso]

Ahhhh lethal lottery, Alex Bowen makes his bid for the big belt this year! No partners to hold me back this year!

This post made me inordinately sad, because I thought about six pack challenges, and then I thought about Trent Acid, who made himself king of multi-man matches, and then I got sad that Trent Acid was dead.

Sigh. Oh well.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

AoN is sudden death so whoever wins is the last person in LL while the person who took the fall is #1.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

Ah right. So all six of the guys in that 6-Man match will be in the LL?

Damn you Harthan, now I'm dwelling on this.

Not necessarily. Only ones guaranteed anything are the winner and loser.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

I see, I see.
I should read more.

Then in that case it would make some sence if you were in that match to no show AoN, ensuring you're in the LL match and spend a lot more time preparing an RP that'll hit it out of the park.

I wonder - would creative judge RPs differently in the LL based on order of appearance? For example, would the #1 man need an exponentially better RP than the #30 man to win the LL, considering the respective difficulty and ease of their positions? Or is it all done on an even playing field?

 

[Dave]

When I was on Creative, the order number was decided after all of the RP's were in and a winner had been chosen. We ranked them in order of best to worst and that was the way they would enter/leave.

So in that respect, it is very much a level playing field.

 

[Ty Burna]

Damn, just found out the Meltdown opening video got blocked on Youtube...

I thought we ranked them best to worse but the order counted as a best to worse vote as well.

I can't remember exactly.

 

[Ty Burna]

Order Number - last year I believe we randomized everything other than the spots decided by a match.

RP's basically we rank them from best to worst and elimination order is based on that.

 

[Harthan]

I guess my question - poorly stated - was more of this: considering that someone is guaranteed #1 and #30 this year, does that mean that the person guaranteed #1 has to produce a much better RP than the person ranked #30?

 

[Uncle Phatso]

Who's excited for the shows!

Will Aftershock be posted on mondays?

 

[Viola Moonlight]

I guess my question - poorly stated - was more of this: considering that someone is guaranteed #1 and #30 this year, does that mean that the person guaranteed #1 has to produce a much better RP than the person ranked #30?

In a way yes. Basically, if you are number one and you want to win, your RP has to better than everyone elses. If you are number 30, your RP has to be better than whoever else is left. That's only in theory though.

We find out the order of the who is coming in and vote accordingly from there. Essentially though, you'll have a harder time at 1 than 30 but there isn't much difference. You pull a good RP at one with everyone else giving off a decent one, you'll take care of all the decent ones until you meet someone with an awesome RP... who will eliminate you.

I hope I've explained myself somewhat.

And I assume yes, Phatso.
