The Official WrestleMania sign pointing sweepstake

[Winkle van Tinkle]

The game is simple.

Who will point to the Wrestlemania 28 sign the most between now and the show.

It's a shame that Rey Rey is injured, as he was a great pointer, and really knew how to get the sign over.

Taker would be a contender too, IF he wrestles at WM. After 20 years or so, he has really mastered the art of pointing.

HHH while not having the best record at WM, sure knows how to point at the fucking sign. If he is brought back, you can bet he'll put that sign over like a mother fucker.

Outsiders for the most points must be Truth and Morrsion. While they are eager to point, they're not very good at it.

I'm hoping there will be a few 3 hour Raws in the new year that will have 12 segments of pure pointing, and there are rumours of a mini-game in WWE 12 where you have to repeatedly press the buttons to see who can keep their mans arm pointing the longest.

So year. This will be the official thread to keep an eye on all the pointing that goes on, usually the highlight on the road to Wrestlemania....

[MikeHunt]

hahahahahaha. 'mazin.

bit bored are we?

[Winkle van Tinkle]

[kangus]

You forgot to mention spoilers. If somebody has pointed at a Wrestlemania sign on a particular broadcast and I haven't seen it yet, I'm going to be fuming.

[Cewsh]

Cena, has to be.

He's pointing at one he drew himself right now.

[kangus]

I think pointing is an ability you can't teach. Can you imagine the Uso's pointing at the WrestleMania sign? No, they wouldn't have the first clue how to do it and that's why nobody cares about them.

[Atty]

Mick Foley will bang this out.

[MichaelC]

Orton.

And brilliant thread.

[Sweet_Chin_Music]

I don't know guys, I'm looking at Sin Cara as a sleeper pick, I mean, all the guy does is point.

[Guy]

Orton.

And brilliant thread.

Randy Orton Wins The 2009 Royal Rumble - YouTube

Yes folks it's Randy Orton's patented
"I-just-won-the-rumble-and-pointed-at-the-sign-but-the-ref-is-telling-me-to-go-up-the-turnbuckle-and-do-it-so-we-can-get-the-best-camera-angle-and-do-the-fireworks" maneuver.

Oh god, watching it back it's still so fucking cringe worthy.

Points
*waits for fireworks for an eternity*
*nothing*
He walks off
points again
*nothing*
The ref tries to sneakily tell him to go to the turnbuckle
Randy turns and yells in frustration "WHAT?!"
Goes to turnbuckle...points again


...*fireworks*

[MichaelC]

It's tactics like that one that make my pick a shoe in for victory here.

[Guy]

It's horrible to watch. As if they are THAT particular about where he needs to be for THE POINT

[MichaelC]

Still 3 points in a minute.

Don't argue with the stats, Guy.

[kangus]

I think the Royal Rumble should just be a WrestleMania sign pointing contest where all 30 men are inside the ring and point until their arms are tired UNTIL ONLY ONE POINTER REMAINS.

[Atty]

And that pointer will be the bad guy from Get Smart.

[Mills]

Still 3 points in a minute.

Don't argue with the stats, Guy.

Im not your guy buddy!

Seriously, all pointing begins and ends with rey rey.

[Chris Dolmeth]

I don't know guys, I'm looking at Sin Cara as a sleeper pick, I mean, all the guy does is point.

This. Or Cena.

[Jordo]

I'm gonna pick a rookie to WM sign pointing and go with Daniel Bryan.

[Bert]

This. Or Cena.

Yeah, I was going to say Cena.

[kangus]

I wonder if any Divas will point. Are women even smart enough to know how to point at a WrestleMania sign?

[Atty]

Well, most of them are pointing up...

[Chris Dolmeth]

The Rock is going to have a lot of pointing to do the Monday before Mania to catch up.

Or he'll just look at it, then try to smell it.

[Winkle van Tinkle]

[Kyle_242]

Can't wait to see Ryder point. That'll be my desktop background.

[mth]

I'm looking forward to Cody Rhodes giving it a good pointing.

[Chris Dolmeth]

As long as he keeps it, I see Daniel Bryan hugging the briefcase while pointing.

[Hero!]

Mark henry is gonna point at that sign like a fucking BEAST this year. Just watch.

[Chris Dolmeth]

He's going to tear that mother lover down.

[Delta Devil]

I want to see Mason Ryan point while wondering if he's doing it correctly.

[Guy]

http://www.wwehunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/3123.jpg

So did anyone take a tally last night? There were a few guys at it during the rumble (I remember Miz at the beginning specifically) and perhaps a few in the earlier matches on the card.

[Badger]

John Morrison is pointing in the wrong direction, no wonder he was fired.

[Deewun]

I took tally. 6 points in total. 2 from Cole, 1 from Sheamus, 1 from Miz, 1 from Jericho, 1 from Cody.

[Simmo Fortyone]

I'm backing Ziggler to get a few in between now and EC

[Atty]

Someone should point to the sign AT WrestleMania.

[Chris Dolmeth]

If anyone were to do it, it'd be Daniel Bryan.

[Atty]

In his Mania opener with Sheamus?

[Chris Dolmeth]

In his Mania dark match with Sheamus?



Yes ;)

[Badger]

Sheamus did it twice on Raw, and Taker looked up at it if you want to count that.

[Ringo]

Sorry Badger, but that is NOT the same thing and you know it!

[Atty]

Taker invented a whole new level. He's amazing. Two Mania matches in a row set up by looking at a sign. Legend...



Wait for it...

[Atty]

...DARY!

[Winkle van Tinkle]

This thread is going to BLOW UP in the next few weeks.

[BIGFEETS]

[kangus]

DOES NOT QUALIFY. I don't even care about his stupid streak match if he doesn't start pointing to the fuckng sign.

[Mills]

His pinky is pointing

[kangus]

No Mills it isn't. Don't start making excuses for him. The facts are there was a massive WrestleMania sign and The Undertaker had a HUGE opportunity to point at it. But he didn't, Mills, he didn't.

[Badger]

I think one of his hairs is pointing in that direction, or it could be too much VO5.

[turdpower]

Does Taker EVER point at the sign?

He normally just looks at it.

[Badger]

i guess he could point, but them maybe he doesn't see the point in doing so which is disappointing.

[virms]

If Taker pointed at the sign lightning would come down and blow it up. Then Wrestlemania would be fucked dumdums.

[Badger]

I'd like to see Taker crucify someone on the sign, then he may point at it.

[turdpower]

He should do that destroy it and then declare this one Wrestlemania 29.

[BIGFEETS]

His dick is pointing to it.

Underfakehair wins again...

[DangerousMan21]

Taker usually just Tebows toward the sign.

[Atty]

Does Taker EVER point at the sign?

He normally just looks at it.

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101228150944/prowrestling/images/a/af/Undertaker_Wrestlemania_sign.png

[Guy]

We had another from Sheamus on Smackers.

[Psycho666Soldier]

SPOILERS, DUDE, JESUS

[Atty]

Damnit, Torn.

[Badger]

Cody too.

[Clive Plasma]

It's nearly pointing season again...

[JP]

Daniel Bryan is my pick for first pointer in pointy season.

[HHHnFoley_Rulez]

Where is the other discussion about this :panic:

I picked Randy. Randy always likes to point, regardless of pyro not going off a thousand times making it super awkward.

[Clive Plasma]

New sig...

[mth]

Sin Cara's a natural pointer. Not sure if he'll make the card but as long as he's on TV, he will be pointing a lot. Hopefully the sign is at least in the general area he's pointing toward.

[virms]

Someone should tweet Zach Ryder and tell him to point at the imaginary Wrestlemania sign the next time he ever gets on TV.

[HHHnFoley_Rulez]

Ryder get on TV? Christmas miracle.

[Jaymz]

Someone should tweet Zach Ryder and tell him to point at the imaginary Wrestlemania sign the next time he ever gets on TV.

I reckon that could be his new gimmick. Have him be like Eugene in that he's a bit special, and that he believes it's WM every month, starting just after WM. He can bug The Authority on a regular basis asking if he's going to Wrestlemania, and after months of trying, the crowd will go apeshit when he wins a 6-man tag pre-show match at Battleground.

Make it happen

[Simmo Fortyone]

I reckon we're good for at least one each week from Orton

Well worth a requote...

[turdpower]

Fan of the pointing before you signed up, Clive?

[Clive Plasma]

I was. I spent last year watching Wrestlemania in The City Arms in Oxford, and every time we saw the sign on the screen we had to point.

Last person to point, did a shot. Pointing season is probably my favourite time of the year.

[turdpower]

They never used to show Wrestling in there.

How times change.

[Clive Plasma]

Think it was the first year they did it. There was a good atmosphere. Don't know if I'll do it again this year - it was a bit weird being in that kind of social situation. Everyone took it so seriously.

Me and my mate watched it in a bar this year gone and I'm not sure anyone took it seriously... But I was so hoarse the next day from shouting/chanting. Maybe I did! I was hammered and fell asleep for 10 minutes in the loo.

By seriously I mean that all of the chat was said with such genuine conviction.

We ended up getting hammered, and had an idea to open up a wrestling theme bar in London, called "The Spanish Announcers Table" or something. We'd show all the PPVs, have wrestling on from around the world and have wrestling themed cocktails/shooters as well as fully stocked fridges of budweiser. The jukebox would only have entrance music available to play, and instead of a fruit machine we'd have No Mercy on N64. We'd have an APA lounge out back where you could smoke cigars and play poker. Have a giant Wrestlemania sign in the corner of the bar, so you could take a picture pointing at it too.

It would probably stay open for about a month, if that. If WWE New York couldn't stay open, we'd have no chance.

[Excel]

Id move to London to be able to go there every night
