Choke's Wrestlemania 29 Fantasy Report Christian Returns?
Posted by: choke Apr 5, 2013 | 1849 views | 0 comments
My fantasy preview for Wrestlemania 29 this weekend.
I'm doing this story tonight in lieu of a Smackdown Fantasy Preview because apparently Smackdown is going to be mostly recaps leading into Mania, with two matches (one has Primo/Epico and the other is a Swagger squash of Kingston. No I didn't read the spoilers, I'm just assuming)
The final rising/falling list of the Wrestlemania season. Basically the key here is to drop anyone you have that will more than likely get zero points for those who will at least get SOMETHING or might have the chance to shock and get a lot for you. Remember I'm not going to waste my time telling you to pick up someone like John Cena because he's available in approximately .0002% of leagues.
Rising
1. Big E Langston: I have a feeling many are probably still sleeping on picking him up. Well if that's your league, you should scoop him up immediately and make fun of those who haven't. Legitimate shot to win the tags on Sunday, let alone plenty of attack/interference/accompanying points missed out over the last several weeks.
2. Christian: This is a gamble, and honestly I don't think it'll result in much, but if you're severely desperate, you might want to take a chance in case Christian does come back and scores some sort of shocking win (maybe over Cesaro who is suspiciously absent from the card?) As a matter of fact, now that I've just reminded myself of Cesaro, I think this might happen. Picture it: Cesaro comes out, talks crap about the US, asks for anyone to challenge him, and out walks Christian to steal the belt for a big Mania moment. By the way, the reason for all this speculation is this report from Prowrestling.net.
3. Fandango: Again, some might be sleeping, but with Jericho's contract situation sort of up in the air (from what I understand), it seems likely Fandango will get the win Sunday. Worst case he probably savagely attacks Y2J even in a loss.
4. Bella Twins/Cameron & Naomi: Take your pick on which team you think will win. At worst you get some PPV Star points, and at best you end up with stip match pin points and maybe some attack points when it's all said and done. Willing to bet all 4 are available in most leagues as we speak.
5. Paul Heyman/Zeb Colter/Ricardo Rodriguez/Shawn Michaels: At this point you should just be taking anyone who will likely appear on camera vs anyone in the falling list below
Falling
1. All the Divas: Now, more than likely they will probably have the Divas appear at some point, and Kaitlyn and AJ should be involved in the tag match in some capacity so they might be worth holding, but all the others save the Bellas and Funkdactyls will probably be forced to simply come out and dance for Diddy. No, dancing for Diddy does not get you fantasy points (maybe it should?)
2. Kofi/R Truth/3MB/Sin Cara/Mysterio/Bo Dallas/PTP/Santino/Zack Ryder: Will they or won't they be on the show? At this rate I don't think any are worth a risk of holding.
So there you have it. Stay tuned for my Predictions for the show coming up.
