TPWW: Thinking Differently
 

Just a dumb, pointless little game I thought of, partially inspired by the many against the grain opinions we have on here and the various degree of knowledge on different promotions.

The object is to give a correct answer that will get the least amount of responses. So if the question is say, "name a WWF/E Championship" and you're the only one to say European Championship, you'd get 1 point. If 5 people said European Championship, you'd get 5 points, etc.

Incorrect answers automatically will be given the same number of points as the most-guessed answer for that question.

Oh yeah, and try to avoid being a dick and looking things up. If you don't know the answer to a question, just take a shot in the dark.

Form is below, mostly just winged it with whatever random questions popped into my head.

Not sure how long I'll keep the form open, depends on how many responses come in. The winner receives pride, and maybe the ability to pick a question or two of their own for the next round if there is one.

I'm in there.

Sort of like Scattegories or the British TV show Pointless. STD has put in his answers.

Done.

Given the premise the meta game would be to name to most well known answers.

Until everyone else decides to do the same thing ;)

I may or may not have given my answers

Answered

I did it!

That would be Family Feud not Pointless.

What is a G1 Climax?

Annual round robin tourney they hold in New Japan. Was trying to sprinkle some different companies in.

Oh. Haha. New Japan does not count.

Right. What would be Pointless is your reply.

I guessed someone for the G1 Climax answer but don't know if it is a right answer or not.

Some good responses so far. A couple of sneaky good answers.

Might post it over in casual too. The more the merrier.

How many people so far

19. Think I'll give it one more day just to see if some of these logjams in the guesses can be broken up, will post the results tomorrow.

I have no idea who was in any G1 tournament. Just picked someone I knew was in New Japan haha

I did the thing

Think I answered the last question completely wrong. Going to assume it wasn't actually asking for a literal championship belt.

It sure is thinking differently, though!

Done, was hard trying to think of answers nobody would answer. Great idea.

I went with the really obvious answers no one would say, so people probably said them.

I thought this after I answered too. We've probably been tricked!

Apparently Kurt Angle never won the Royal Rumble. F that.

The Results are in!

5 Lowest Scores:
DEZZY - 19
Noid - 19
loopydate - 21
Lock Jaw - 24
The Destroyer - 25

5 Highest Scores:
DaveWadding - 37
screech - 37
SlickyTrickyDamon - 38
Anybody Thrilla - 39
Dirty Sock - 50

Top 3 Most Frequently Given Answers:
Undertaker WM Opponent: A-Train (8)
Nexus Member: Skip Sheffield (7)
Nexus Member: Michael Tarver (tie - 6)
ECW PPV: Heat Wave (tie - 6)
G1 Climax Winner: Kenny Omega (tie - 6)
Scott in Ring Name: Scott Norton (tie - 6)

The one championship question definitely tripped up a few people. DEZZY found a potential loophole in Trish Stratus as I didn't specify male wrestler, but alas she's won both the Women's Title and the Hardcore Title.

Mike the Metal Ed and loopydate had a clever idea to guess Carl Ouellet under his masked X gimmick, but alas he never held the belt.

Only 2 of the 8 wrong responses to the G1 Climax question actually gave it the old college try and took a real guess.

Will do another round if there's interest. Open to different question ideas if you wanna send them my way.

Damn, thought for sure I would have done better....

Woooo!

Why is my name there? I didn't enter.

I dunno, Joel Gertner must post here.

I can't believe someone else came up with Scotty Anton


Also , lol at Smeats for answering "Hardcore Title" for "Name a WWE WM title match from the 90's"

6th place, not bad. Scott Steiner maths did me in.

When did Owen Hart win the rumble?

He won a Rumble at a house show in MSG, they used to do them at live events.

Would've also counted televised Rumble winners like Chyna, Eddie, etc.

I had like 5 answers wrong and still had a bunch of points.

Haha, yeah. I was on the fence about Chad Gable because he's held both the NXT titles and Smackdown titles, and modern NXT is canon unlike the developmental territories of old.

But since I didn't clarify main roster or not I decided I'd count someone who only won an NXT belt but wouldn't dock them if they held an NXT AND main roster belt.

NXT is the minors. It shouldn't count.

Gertner fucked me over too. One of my answers was whatever Gertner said and he didn't even play. Lame.

I am trying to figure out what other title Backline held.

Also, Skip and Albert sunk an otherwise stellar run as for low scoring.

Mine were pretty good *pats back*
