TPWW Survivor XXVIII - A Tale as Old as Time: BRAUN vs The BEAST (feat. Jinder Mahal)
 

Rules:

• Everybody selects somebody from the WWE roster, no duplicates allowed. If the contest hasn't yet started, you can change your selection once by making a new post saying you're changing your selection (don't just edit your original post).
• Your wrestler is eliminated if he or she submits or is pinned during a televised match on Raw, SmackDown, 205 Live, Main Event or a Network (formerly PPV) event. Disqualifications, count outs, or being eliminated from a battle royal / Royal Rumble does not cause elimination. In multi-man matches (tag, triple threat, etc.), only the person who is pinned or submits is out. NXT does not count and NXT exclusive wrestlers are wasted picks. Main roster WWE Network Specials (ie. Tribute to the Troops) DO count.
• In the event of a match finishing via KNOCKOUT, the Small Council of Elders have met and come to the majority decision that from season XXVII onwards a KNOCKOUT will count as an ELIMINATION. This will effectively be a slight nerf to the character Roman Reigns.
• Your wrestler will also be eliminated if he or she goes three weeks without having a televised match in a WWE ring for any reason whatsoever (injury, future endeavors, etc.). There is a constant countdown going on from your wrestler's last match, so even if bad luck happens - you can still potentially win as long as everyone else loses in that span. In the event of two or more competitors being eliminated on the same day due to this rule and that impacting on podium positions (rank 1-3), the wrestler positions will be determined by time of last performance (meaning main eventing is more valuable than opening). In addition, the three week ruling will occur at the end of a show if one is running concurrent to the cut off date, meaning anyone who loses on the show will place lower than whoever gets three week'd. If you suffer a ban for the length of the game you will be disqualified.
• If you win you get your choice of either first pick next season or two picks for the next season. If you take the option of two picks, you must wait until at least three other people have selected in order to prevent you from becoming The Skippord. If you are inactive upon winning to the creation of the next season, you will not get first pick and instead get 2 picks. In accordance with previous versions of this rule, new seasons will only be created after a minimum wait period of two days.
• A wrestler must be an active participant in a match for it to reset the three-week timer. Lumberjacks, special referees, managers, "enforcers," guest commentators, etc. do NOT count.

Sign-ups are allowed until the start of the pre-show of the 24th September 2017 edition of WWE No Mercy at the start of the pre-show, in the beginning of this night, right then, on Sunday, September 24, on this day, eliminations will be eliminated, starting on this show, on the WWE television, in the genesis of McGillicutty.

Winning wrestlers must sit out 3 seasons before returning. Neville is out for winning Season 25. Roman Reigns is out for winning Season 26. Dean Ambrose is out for winning Season 27.

I will be participating in the game, but in the interest of fairness, I won't make my pick until at least ten wrestlers have been chosen and will then probably just waste my pick on Fandango.

For winning season XXVII, RP has pre-selected The Kevin Owens, Kevin Owens.

Returning to the game is two time winner Braun Strowman, a man who has never lost a season where he has been eligible. After initially writing him off as a shitty big man, he has become a legit main eventer and more importantly, the TPWW Survivor ace, however he faces his biggest roadblock on the opening of the season. Braun Strowman will either win TPWW Survivor XXVIII or face a day one elimination, who is going to take the ultimate risk and choose Braun as their champion? Whoever posts first probably.

====================================

A bit of a gamble seeing as he'd already be staring at the possibility of being 3 week'd if the timing of this game were different, but.......

Bobby Roode

Braun.

Seth Rollins

Alexa Bliss.

Nakamura

Big E.

Maybe this time he will actually wrestle within the time limit.

My pick is Jeff Harvey, Hardy

AJ Styles

Nia Jax

Is that because like her, you're not like most girls? :shifty:

Brock Lesnar.

Asuka

This round THERE AIN'T NO STOPPING ME NNNNOOOOOWWWWW

Because I choose Shelton Benjamin

Jinder mahal

Jason jordan

Ziggler

Tyler Breeze

Surprisingly all of the NPC champions from last season survived the interim week and none have been picked up this season. Apollo Crews might stop smiling if he finds out about this.

Charlotte Flair

Never thought I'd see a day where John Cena didn't get picked up. Makes sense with a likely loss to Roman looming on Day 1, but he's someone who usually gets picked on principle.

I really don't want Khal Drogo to beat Cena.

I think Cena could probably veto him losing to Reigns, but he won't and will go with it, cause he's a good guy.

I think Asuka has a real chance of winning opposed to Cena.

If Asuka retains her NXT booking she would only be susceptible to the three week rule, on the other hand they could easily just job her out to Alexa immediately for no reason. Gotta get that heat.

Hey, why is Sixx brown as a poo? And Droford is white?

you're bronze because you finished 3rd and Droford is silver because he finished second

You were 3rd place last time so you're a shade of brown, because that's the laziest approximation to bronze, Droford is silver. RP is gold too but it looks very similar to the yellow.

Cant believe I got Ninja'd with my incredibly fast reply, DaveWadding has cat like reflexes.

Ah, cheers. I thought it was some "special needs" color.

Glad I didn't choose crews #Don'tChooseCrews

Erm, Changing my pick to Jey Uso.

You'll just have to hope the entire roster including Brock Lesnar loses within three weeks. Roman vs the entire roster gauntlet match could feasibly happen at this point.

Hmm maybe bliss will call her out early with a ref and have the ref ring the bell saying Asuka lost by "forfeit" (or count out)

And this is why I passed on Braun despite being the first person to make a pick :cool:

Gonna be honest, I took zig cause I was trying to be first out...kinda bummed

We started off with the wrong brand, Zigs will be eliminated on the Smackdown PPV pre show.

I actually picked Braun and then sent a PM saying nevermind give me KO.
