Ladies and gentlemen, it's Road to Wrestlemania season which means it's time for the most anticipated, unpredictable, and dreaded event in all of WrassleGAF - the one - the only - the Avatar Rumble! The one time of the year where NeoGAF avatars are on line as we crown a new temporary face of WrassleGAF while we ask ourselves "why didn't the other person win?!" Curious about what the Avatar Rumble is or how to enter it? Well allow me to go over the rules for the 2017 version of the WrassleGAF annual event!

  • The Avatar Rumble will be done using WWE2K17 on the PS4
  • This year the Avatar Rumble will be held on Saturday, January 28th at 4:00PM EST. It's being held on a Friday due to NXT Takeover being the Saturday night before the Royal Rumble itself.
  • Your entry is your avatar. By submitting a wrestler into the Avatar Rumble, you are acknowledging that you will change your avatar to the avatar of the winning entrant and keep that avatar from the night of the Avatar Rumble - January 27th, 2017 - until the end of February 28th, 2017. Do not back out of the avatar change. This is a month plus one day, because it'll be easier for everyone to remember the deadline if it falls on the end of the month.
  • To enter the Avatar Rumble you must PM me, Sephzilla, with your entrant. Your entrant must be a professional wrestler who has competed in at least one career match. For example, if your wrestler exists on http://www.cagematch.net/ then I'll accept him. If your entrant has already been entered I will respond back to you indicating so and ask you to pick a second entrant.
  • The wrestler you enter will be kept private, at least until after the Avatar Rumble. The only public list will be the list of GAF members who have entered the Avatar Rumble. You are free to publicly disclose your pick if you wish, but it's more fun if every entrant is a surprise because then everyone wonders who's the buffoon who picked Arachnaman.
  • The Avatar Rumble will be 30 entrants - WWE 2K17's Royal Rumble maximum. Entry into the Avatar Rumble is first-come, first-serve. Only one entrant per GAF member.
  • Entrants into the Avatar Rumble will be random. The order in which you register has no bearing when your entrant will enter the Avatar Rumble.
  • Previous winners of the Avatar Rumble are ineligible for entry. Our previous winners are Big Show, Archibald Peck, Tyler Breeze, Berlyn/Alex Wright
  • Male competitors only. WWE2K17 doesn't allow inter-gender Royal Rumbles
  • No Chris Benoit requests will be taken
  • Will be held on Twitch - http://www.twitch.tv/sephzilla

Seph, can we get a ruling on a No Donald Trump rule? He has a Cagematch profile, but I don't know if I can live with a WrassleGAF full of Trump avatars.

We'll surely see:

- Triple H
- Roman Reigns
- John Cena
- An Uso
- some underground and/or Japanese hardcore wrestler no one knows
- some Englishman indie darling no one knows
- Kane

But who else?!

Please have the winner be someone with a lot of images out there. It took me forever last year to find a photo of Berlyn that hadn't already been used by someone else here.

Holy cow the WrassleGAF hotline is exploding with people trying to get in on the action and there's buzz all around the building talking about potential entrants into the event!

I keep considering entering The Wall but there's really not enough pictures of him to make it funny

but it would be great if Wall won after Berlyn won

I'd be ok with Shelton in Dolph's place tbh

they're about the same level in-ring and Shelton seems like slightly less of a dumb shitter

I dunno. I feel like they go above and beyond in giving Triple H every possible Big Moment. Which is happening here -- this match has been like six hours long and there's all kinds of shenanigans -- but it's just not coming together at all. And Shawn's kinda wrestling like a guy who hasn't wrestled for years.

In many respects, Vince still operates his billion-dollar company as if he were still promoting a regional wrestling circuit, which is certainly uncommon for an organization of WWE's size. "All Vince cares about is that night's show—not 15 weeks later, like how all other television shows work," a former senior-level executive said. "That's why you see astute followers pulling their hair out. There's no guiding principle other than that Vince is a carnival barker—a promoter of a live event product."

This isn't surprising at all.

This "treat each day as if it is your first day on the job" thing Vince pushes is fucking batshit.

Edit- I didn't know Dunn and Shane were close buddies and that is part of the reason why HHH and Steph hate Dunn. Thats a worry.

I don't know if there's any Walking Dead fans here but... if you had to pick three current super stars to cross over into that world who would they be?

I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.

What is happening at the '03 Rumble??

(The good news is that I'm fast-forwarding like crazy. >_>)
