Click below to see the predictions. If you have an asterisk next to your name, that means you picked the same number as someone else, thus not eligible for the prize.

The winner is the closest to the projection without going over.

  1. What's the prize?

    716,425

    ReplyDelete
  2. Whoever guessed correctly would get to select the shoot interview I recap in two weeks and I would mail them my copy and some other wrestling stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  3. That's sweet.


    I woke up today and I said whoever won the FFLoD was gonna get their choice of 5 audio copies of shoots sent from me.


    I was gonna put that email out today.


    Runner-up gets three of their choice.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Matter of fact did you get my list?

    ReplyDelete
  5. I think he said that he wanted to prove that the first hour's ratings would be the same no matter what they put on. And I believe he was proven right in this case, numbers didn't really change.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Wow... B.BoD (before blog of doom)

    Elvy was there making waves.

    Yeah TNA will soon go out of business.
    Despite the fact they just signed Tito Ortiz to make an appearance.
    Please people, Don't get angry when someone not nme McMahon opens a
    wrestling promotion. The same people who hate TNA don't even WATCH TNA.
    That is what really irritates the hell out of me!!!

    ReplyDelete
  7. I did.


    There is definitely some that you have I want

    ReplyDelete
  8. I think 11am

    ReplyDelete
  9. Mine wasn't a legit guess. There's no way there's a million subscribers.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Well I'm sure the WWF didn't supply tights to jobbers unless they had to.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I'm pretty sure I got mine in before 9am but don't see it listed

    ReplyDelete
  12. "Don't get angry when someone not nme McMahon opens a wrestling promotion."


    The NME are starting a wrestling promotion?

    I think he's confusing the NME being a British music magazine, one of our weekly papers, written by talentless hacks, with the TNA having weekly pay-per-views, written by.. well, you can see where I'm going here.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Kenny Kaos got a little miffed about that one.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Dibiase had such an awesome powerslam.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I was too optimistic :(

    ReplyDelete
  16. He was a teacher... only liked to work 9 months out of the year.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Same here. Im telling you, ripping them to audio is the way to go. I get so tired of looking at a talking head for 2 hours and Feinstein saying "huh." or "wow" every 25 seconds.


    It was hilarious when Dreamer called him out on it on Face-Off 9

    ReplyDelete
  18. Vince just did not like Kanyon for whatever reason. Even when he finally got his shot after they bought WCW they pretty much made him into a joke pretty quickly. Even those he was getting over they had him jobbing to the Undertakers wife for crying out loud.

    ReplyDelete
  19. TNA started in 2002, yeah?

    Back then, the WWE product was moribund but hope was offered by Jeff Jarrett starting a new promotion (one with a not particularly good name), possibly with the involvement of Toby Keith.

    Amazing what a difference 12 years can make!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Going outside the ring, grabbing his phone, tweeting that the finish was coming, and then finishing with it should be done by Miz if they're serious about him.

    ReplyDelete
  21. RainbowSherbet got greedy.



    So, PatMan wins?

    ReplyDelete
  22. I looked up the ratings and Nitro did a 4.4 for this show
    with a 4.9 first hour. They never got as high as a 4.9 hour ever again. More
    people watched that hour of WCW than ever watched an hour of WCW after that. I
    guess conclusions can be drawn either way on that one.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I was way off but that 700K number is hardly scientific, they didn't even release an exact number.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Therefore I win. I said yesterday they'd skirt around the issue and not release the exact number.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Great point, i never thought that because Rude's makeover was so effective but yeah he should have lost a hair match.


    But maybe they felt that would weaken him too much in the leadup to him challenging the Warrior for the strap in the summer.

    ReplyDelete
  26. TJ: Cespedes! I don't know who's going to pitch next year but Cespedes!

    ReplyDelete
  27. NM - already announced at 700,000.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Samoa Joe is perfectly good, but Bad News Allen was 20 years ahead of his time. In '98, a younger Bad News as Vince's paid-off enforcer vs. Austin would have drawn ungodly money.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    ReplyDelete
  30. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck the A's traded cespedes

    ReplyDelete
  31. Billy Beane wtf man, oh man worst trade since McGwire...cocksucker I hate rooting for bad teams, I should at least ditch gs for the Lakers, A's for padres (since it won't hurt as much and I get tickets) and at least I'll always have kap

    ReplyDelete
  32. TJ Rewatching the Main Event and didn't notice they used a modified version of Jake Roberts' music during the homoerotic Hulk Hogan training montage.

    ReplyDelete
  33. What a steal for the Sox. Cespedes is locked up until 2017.

    ReplyDelete
  34. No, he's locked up through next season.

    ReplyDelete
  35. WHY WAS MY PREDICTION NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Cespedes hasn't had a great season since his first one. A's fans shouldn't really be upset about losing an outfielder with a .300 OBP and a .760 OPS.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Nevermind, I completely misread a tweet.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Cespedes should have increased power numbers at Fenway

    ReplyDelete
  39. Is it too late to enter? If not, I want in! Thanks.

    893,474

    ReplyDelete
  40. Well I am, he was my favorite player on the team. Awful trade, they're fucked and this pitcher will be out the door the second the season ends

    ReplyDelete
  41. He's the best or 2nd best hitter on the team traded to the fucking red Sox of all teams for some shit bag who won't be back

    ReplyDelete
  42. WWE Stock up to $13.22 today, a $1.12 increase

    ReplyDelete
  43. Happy Birthday

    ReplyDelete
  44. Ugh, what an awful day for Oakland A's fans. I don't know why I even bother following them. I actually paid for the mlb pass to watch their games this year, waste of money, I'll give my password to the old guys in the office that still care about baseball

    ReplyDelete
  45. Layoffs. They love layoffs

    ReplyDelete
  46. Their rotation is nasty though


    Samardzija
    Gray
    Lester
    Kazmir


    Come October, that is tough for any lineup.

    ReplyDelete
  47. If I understand the concept of eleventy correctly, you predicted 110,000,000,000 subscribers. You were essentially predicting that every person on the planet would find a way to sign up for the network about 15 times.

    Now, I'm not saying Bayless was right for doing what he did, but the bottom line is that you ended up a close third or fourth (I really haven't crunched the numbers, sorry) in this contest, so it doesn't matter.

    ReplyDelete
  48. But man are you going to feel bad when it turns out they do have Eleventy Billion subscribers... I want a Brian Bayless shoot review if that happens!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Friday is going to be a sad day for WWE employees

    ReplyDelete
  50. I feel as if you are just humoring me!

    ReplyDelete
  51. I am honest and sincere

    ReplyDelete
  52. My Capstone project in grad school didn't have this many words.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Yeah, Billy Beane is sure putting in a lot of effort to lose in the first round again.

    ReplyDelete
  54. What about anticipation?

    ReplyDelete
  55. I read that in Jim Mora Sr's voice for some reason.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Cespedes is made for Fenway. Both as a hitter and a fielder

    ReplyDelete
  57. Great trade for Boston, good to see that franchise finally catch a break!!!

    ReplyDelete
  58. 2016, but I love the trade anyway. Cespedes in LF and Bradley in CF. Don't hit the ball to left or center if you want a double this year and next.

    ReplyDelete
  59. They won't score any runs and just traded the most popular player on the team to a powerhouse franchise for a 10 week rental on a pitcher who probably won't even try hard because he doesn't want to be there. Fuck Oakland, I think I'm tapping out

    ReplyDelete
  60. LAYOFFS??? LAYOFFS???

    ReplyDelete
  61. Maybe, but Beefcake was getting a huge push at the time too, and Kurt Angle losing to Edge and getting shaved bald didn't hurt him at all. Oh well.

    ReplyDelete
  62. The Rattlesnake vs the 200 lbs of Harlem Sewer rats?

    ReplyDelete
  63. CruelConnectionNumber2July 31, 2014 at 9:11 AM

    Bayless Wins Bayless Wins Bayless Wins

    ReplyDelete
  64. Lol Bayless I'm fucking steaming mad about this trade

    ReplyDelete
  65. CruelConnectionNumber2July 31, 2014 at 9:15 AM

    SummerSlam, Action Zone tag, and Survivor Series were the three strikes?

    ReplyDelete
  66. Kenny Kaos getting a little miffed is witnessing a tornado mow down a Circle K after he exits one. Talk about a disaster area! I'd hate to own that particular convenience store!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Lester is damn good in the playoffs though.


    He won't half-ass it in Oakland.


    However, the A's lineup without Cespedes is still a lot better than the Sox with him.


    If they lose Lester after the season, then it doesnt look so good.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I AM EL PREDICTO!

    ReplyDelete
  69. I guess I'm second place to Bayless, but he can't win his own contest!

    ReplyDelete
  70. They lead the major leagues in runs. I don't think missing two months of Cespedes is going to cause a cataclysmic spiral.

    ReplyDelete
  71. So, I won the contest I guess. HA


    Rainbow Sherbet went one pick over so the next closest without going over is..........


    PatMan with the guess of 693,472


    PatMan, email me at BBayless781@gmail.com

    ReplyDelete
  72. You won.


    Email me at BBayless781@gmail.com for details

    ReplyDelete
  73. Congrats to the winner! I find it hilarious that I came that thisclose with my prediction using the Wrestlemania 3 attendance figure..Piperfan01: 693,173..

    ReplyDelete
  74. They still have Moss and Donaldson who have power.


    Put it this way, Cespedes had 17 home runs while the entire Red Sox outfield has 14

    ReplyDelete
  75. CruelConnectionNumber2July 31, 2014 at 9:51 AM

    What a shit number! I didn't factor in so many dropped (monthly) subscriptions. They barely gained anyone, really.

    ReplyDelete
  76. like Heinz ketchup, it's making me wait

    ReplyDelete
  77. IRS was one of the worst singles wrestlers of the time. He was fine in Money, Inc but on his own, his matches were awful to sit through.

    ReplyDelete
  78. I think it is funny that I techincally won and poor Rainbow Shrebet for going one over. He basically nailed it.


    Rainbow Sherbet, email me at BBayless781@gmail.com as well

    ReplyDelete
  79. The only gained 33,000

    ReplyDelete
  80. CruelConnectionNumber2July 31, 2014 at 9:52 AM

    It was still a possibility. Since they've shown everyone how to sign up so many times ("You see, JBL, this is an ANDROID phone...") maybe some people felt they had to subscribe 15 times on a difference device?

    ReplyDelete
  85. CruelConnectionNumber2July 31, 2014 at 9:55 AM

    How did they lose so many?

    ReplyDelete
  86. That's like the woman on the Price Is Right being off by $491...and she lost anyway

    ReplyDelete
  87. CruelConnectionNumber2July 31, 2014 at 9:55 AM

    I didn't think there were 1 month subscriptions?

    ReplyDelete
  88. Paul Wilson

    ReplyDelete
  89. A lot of trials I guess or people signed up after Mania who cancelled?

    ReplyDelete
  90. CruelConnectionNumber2July 31, 2014 at 9:57 AM

    You can't really cancel. You have to pay the remaining balance out. And if they're factoring free trials into their subscription numbers there is a BIGGGGG problem.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Ok, I sent an email. Thanks for holding this contest, that was cool.

    ReplyDelete
  97. But which shoot video is he going to pick?!

    ReplyDelete
  98. CruelConnectionNumber2July 31, 2014 at 10:10 AM

    Here we go. So the original number of subscriptions in March 2014 was bogus. "Basically, the churn (loss of subscribers) was due to cards not having funds on them when WWE tried to charge them. He was asked how the people that didn't pay, didn't pay. George didn't really want to get into it."

    ReplyDelete
  99. Whenever I think of the NME I think of that story about The Clash considering "Train in Vain" just "a little too good" to give away in the NME.

    ReplyDelete
  100. EC3 and Spud getting the kind of focus old ECW washups get would work.

  101. I work in a comic book shop full time.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Boring. You could have given all kinds of exciting and sexy responses then. C'mon. Try again. Are you an eccentric comic-collecting billionaire perhaps?

    ReplyDelete
  103. Whenever I think of Train In Vain I remember that it's sampled on Stupid Girl by Garbage - and when I think of garbage, I think NME.

  104. 2005-2006 Joe/Styles/Daniels era TNA and 2012 Impact Wrestling era TNA were great; everything else was a turdburger.

  105. It was almost 7 years ago. I remember the night air was crisp and cold in Nebraska, and I was eager to get home from my night shift as a nuclear physicist. Out of nowhere, the van appeared! My memory gets hazy after that; all I remember is waking up in a dark room with a laptop and 800 long boxes of comics. They bought me a wife from overseas and gave her visiting hours, and told me to organize the comics....and just as I get them done, the faceless men arrive and dump the boxes out onto the floor again. This has been going on ever since. I don't even know what country I'm in at this point, and all they let me watch is old AWA reruns from ESPN Classic. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME?!?!?

    ReplyDelete
  106. I enjoyed 2008-09.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Eh, sounds more like a Lutheran thing, Catholics treat the blood more like a metaphor.

    ReplyDelete
  108. 8/10. Not sure how globally available ESPN Classic is, but otherwise, STRONG WORK.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Pretty sure you have that backwards my friend. I think!
