You...you want to ban bet?

......hmm

This sounds interesting. For a year...

Well, it depends. They outlawed them back when I was a low-level positive addition to OT, because of my hotdog contest ban bets. So we'd have to bet but then request the ban from a mod, since they'll do those. But if you made a thread about it (unless they somehow sanctioned another one for old time's sake), I would imagine they wouldn't honor it.

But yeah, I'm down. All we need is specific rules, because yo I got done dirty on that last hotdog contest.

Betting your account over this seems really stupid. I mean, what do you gain? The other person is gone, so the community gets smaller along with the knowledge that you're right?

Is your account really worth that little?

Ban/avatar bets are silly in general.

I NEVER NARC'D ON NOBODY, MAN



Beef would snitch on Beef if he had the chance!

Read this as Torreto was posting this..lol

Furious 7 almost here

We could do a Shame Bet. Where we get a shameful avatar and have an admin tag us with something shameful. I couldn't imagine the irritation I'd feel if my name was Vince McMahon, stuck with a loli avatar and an uguu tag, trying to make a point somewhere.

 

[Killing_Joke]

Sums it up perfectly. This is the first WM that i really just don't give a shit for. It's so dull and anything slightly interesting is being ruined by showing up part time or not at all.

Buying SS tickets next week, hopefully they have something decent lined up. -_-

 

[RP912]

Avatar bets are actually tolerable. The army of breeze was glorious and painful to watch. We could have been a den of TMFs.

 

[darkside31337]

I haven't seen people think a WM match outcome was so obvious since last years Brock / Taker match.

It adds a little something extra to something that'll be fairly dull, or not as exciting as you'd hoped.

Look at people getting all goofy in the 2008 hotdog contest thread.

Wanna make a bet?

Forget about boring RAW, friends - watch ninja turtles do lucha instead;

balcony dive was dumb

 

[Data West]

Stop trying to bully people into betting.

 

[darkside31337]

Wanna make a bet?

No.

But why would they be so desperate to keep him around if it wasn't as the top draw? Taking the title off of him to do what exactly then? He was super directionless before this run, that HHH / Lesnar shit was beyond awful.

 

[Browny]

The Avatar Lottery was good entertainment.

I kinda feel there's a lack of fat sumo guy avatars around at the moment...

3 of the biggest matches have guys that don't even show up (Sting, Taker), guys that barely talk (Reigns, Brock), and guys that talk too much (HHH, Bray).

 

[Patryn]

It's not about the result, it's about the drama that unfolds when the stakes are high. I'll make bets on anything just to add some drama to whatever I bet on.

I think this is why I don't gamble. The couple times I tried it all I could think of was the possibility of losing something and so the entire thing had a sour and anxious feeling that was the opposite of fun.

 

[avengers23]

Butcher is honorable mentioned...he's hardcore mainly for his stupid ass bumps and the fact that he wears no shoes :/

The Necro story from a recent Botchamania was fantastic.

 

[Data West]

No Mr. Pogo in your top 5?

 

[RP912]

Wrasslegaf careers ending over a Reigns victory...sickening.

 

[RP912]

Another honorable mention. Pogo was the shit but I don't remember any of his matches other than him treating dudes foreheads like a etch and sketch.

I don't like gambling money or things like that, but a forum account? And it's not a perm? Sure, it's all in good fun.

Indeed. Ban bets are stupid. Shame bets are great.

 

[jmdajr]

Andre Johnson joining the Colts? My god. Sad thing our organization are more the heels.

Well..at least they announced a Zoolander 2, so that helps.

a little.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I'll take that shame bet with you Sunny. Reigns is walking out with the wwe title at wm

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

Do you think the WWE will launch a #givesuperstarsachance campaign as a counterpart to the female led #givedviasachance tag?

 

[Roland_Gunner]

Its nice to see our new janitor wear such a nice coat.

 

[Sephzilla]

Why is Sunny so desperate to get someone to bet with him?

 

[Dick Justice]

Wrasslegaf careers ending over a Reigns victory...sickening.

Guy in the background urgently trying to warn Vince that coon isn't a nice word.

[Masquerader]

May I take part in the bet of shame?

 

[Patryn]

I don't like gambling money or things like that, but a forum account? And it's not a perm? Sure, it's all in good fun.

A year might as well be a perm, because I doubt I'd bother coming back after that long of a period of time.

Whoa. Is this true? That's some carny shit AJ.

 

[Gonzalez]

When did Vince slowly become Steve Buscemi?

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Whoa. Is this true? That's some carny shit AJ.

Him and Frank Gore in all likelihood, yep

Top 5 Legit Hardcore Wrasslers

1. Brusier Brody
2. New Jack
3. Nick Gage
4. Tommy Dreamer
5. Terry Funk

Good list but no Abdullah or Sabu is a bummer

 

[blackaroni]

Him and Frank Gore in all likelihood, yep

Well shit. I hope he continues to not have a win in Indy.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Shame Bets for a year? On Lesnar or Reigns winning? Maybe we just make it an event, instead of a 1v1 bet...

 

[Data West]

Are you trying to wear avatar bets into the ground? Did we not just have an avatar bet a month ago?

 

[bjork]

A year might as well be a perm, because I doubt I'd bother coming back after that long of a period of time.

You can still view the forum, so since I use it as my window into the world, I'd still be around. Just couldn't grace you all with my wonderful wisdom.

 

[Sephzilla]

Is Sunny's new gimmick being a compulsive gambler? Neo Vinny Vegas?

 

[jmdajr]

A year is too much man. Way more participants if you do a month.

 

[bjork]

Avatar bets hold more at stake if someone almost never changes their avatar. Or their name, etc.

Too bad we don't have an admin as a regular here, tag bets could happen if ban bets can't.

 

[dr3upmushroom]

He's numb to most things in the world now, and can only feel the rush of gambling and having a dominatrix step on his balls.

 

[Data West]

Vinnie Vegas is my third favorite Kevin Nash gimmick

 

[miserable]

he can't even look a black man in the eye

 

[BronsonLee]

Bjork and Sunny are corrupting us all
You know the rules of Vegas guys, the house always wins eventually

I always liked going with Yes Man.

Vince is a busy man, you can't expect him to stop and pose for a photo with D-Von Dudley like that.

I like this. Team Lesnar aka Beast Mode vs Team Reigns aka Beleedat
