CONTEST ALERT! CONTEST ALERT! FREE SHIT ALERT!
So, in case you don’t follow me on Twitter (@StoneyKeeley), I announced yesterday that we will be running a special contest for those of our followers who enjoy the WWE #content. It’s Wrestlemania week, baby – and we’re going to celebrate.
Thus, the first annual SoBros Fantasy Wrestlemania Challenge is born.
The premise is simple. We have 10 spots in the challenge to fill. You submit four total wrestlers, and those wrestlers earn fantasy points (think fantasy football) over the course of the entire Wrestlemania event (pre-show and main card counts). At the end of the night, the scores will be tallied, and the individual with the highest score will win a prize package including (but not limited to):
*A handwritten card full of encouraging words and uplifting sentiment.
*A physical token of your championship win (still working out the kinks on this one).
*The opportunity to call in to The Colossal Tussle Podcast for a guest analyst appearance (if you so choose).
*But, most importantly:
That’s right, ladies and gentlemen – you win the challenge, you’ll receive this Jakks Pacific WWE Classic Superstars Series 3 Undertaker….still in beautiful condition. You can resell it and make a handsome profit. You can tear it open and display this bad boy on any mantle above any stone fireplace. You can give it away for all I care. The point is, if you win the contest, I’ll ship this bad boy out to you, along with the other prizes, so long as you provide me with a valid United States shipping address (sorry international readers – frown face – this company broke af right now).
So, if I still have your attention, you’re probably wondering how you get in.
The Rules
*To sign up, hit me up on Twitter (@StoneyKeeley) and tell me you’re in – it’s that simple. You can @ me or you can DM me. No real names involved, but I will announce the 10 participants and their picks on Twitter using Twitter handles just to provide transparency on this project. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to let me know.
*Once I’ve confirmed your spot via DM in the challenge, I will ask you to send me your desired roster. Your roster will consist of three active wrestlers (anyone on the Wrestlemania card), and one “legend wild card.” The legend wild card spot can be any wrestler from WWE’s past that isn’t on the active (WWE or NXT) roster, a part of the Hall of Fame class of 2017, or in a manager/authority/backstage/panel role. Should your legend wild card pick actually show up on the show, you’ll get an 8-point boost. Rosters will be announced the day of the show – no changes can be made once the rosters have been posted.
*You may only select one wrestler from each match, and tag teams count as one (this includes John Cena & Nikki Bella or The Miz & Maryse). This is to prevent someone from stockpiling points by guaranteeing having a winner on their roster.
*In the event of a tie, I will dig up some more goodies to offer as prizes so that every champion takes home something. But, entry order will be used to determine who gets dibs. So, for example, let’s say we have three winners. Whoever signed up first will have the right to choose which action figure he/she takes home. Second, will then choose, and third will take the remaining toy.
*Scoring will be calculated AFTER Wrestlemania 33 and the winner will be announced Monday morning.
