  1. Participants in the Battle Royal were

     

     

    Participants included Rusev, Miz, Sandow, Show, Erick Rowan, Jack Swagger (w/Zeb Colter), Titus O'Neil, Heath Slater, Curtis Axel, Stardust, Goldust, Justin Gabriel, Sin Cara, Adam Rose, Tyson Kidd, Diego, Fernando, Cesaro, Jimmy Uso, and Jey Uso.

     

    Order of elimination (supposedly)

     

     

    Rough order of elimination: Gabriel first, then Cara, Axel, Slater, Rose, Los Matadores, Show, Rowan, Miz, so Mizdow eliminated himself, Stardust and Goldust, one of the Usos, O'Neil, and the other Uso to arrive at a Final Four of Cesaro, Rusev, Kidd, and Swagger. Kidd was eliminated, then Cesaro, then Swagger, and Rusev is still champion.

  2. Made it to level 4 on Iron Banner...then realized I didn't have enough glimmer for the gauntlets...damn!

     

    This is my quandary right now

     

    I probably could get to Level 4 tonight - but I dont know if I would get enough glimmer to by the gauntlets

     

    We shall see

  3.  

    Jermaine Dye? For real? Jeez...that list of new guys is not great. Obviously Johnson, Pedro and Smoltz make it, but I wonder if any of them don't make it the first time around. I'm also guessing Biggio makes it in since he was so close last time.

    Unlike some other sports, baseball doesn't filter down their list of guys on the ballot at all.  If you played 10 years, you get on the ballot at least once.  Period.  That's how you end up with guys like Jim Deshaies getting a HOF vote.

     

     

    Not quite

     

     

    A. BBWAA Screening Committee -- A Screening Committee consisting of baseball writers will be appointed by the BBWAA. This Screening Committee shall consist of six members, with two members to be elected at each Annual Meeting for a three-year term. The duty of the Screening Committee shall be to prepare a ballot listing in alphabetical order eligible candidates who (1) received a vote on a minimum of five percent (5%) of the ballots cast in the preceding election or (2) are eligible for the first time and are nominated by any two of the six members of the BBWAA Screening Committee.

     

    So yes - baseball does filter down the list

     

    These were some of the names left off the ballot

     
    Jarrod Washburn
    Mark Loretta
    Kelvim Escobar
    Kevin Millar
    Paul Byrd
  4. Looking through that weekly update - it appears they admitted they nerfed Thorn too much and are going to fix that (for those that use Thorn)

     

    Also - it was a little unclear they way they wrote it but it appears that they are going to change up what Exotics you can get in the game (maybe through bounties, maybe through drops).

     

    They were really unclear in that paragraph beyond being "more exotics are coming off the workbench before the expansion pass"

  5. The HOF ballot is officially out
