One comment about last night.

Bulletproof plexiglass.

One comment about last night.

Bulletproof plexiglass.

Believe.

I remember that
"Edge is locked behing bukketproof glass, there's no way mysterio can get in"

[Skippy]

Did Cole call Mysterio a magician last night? "a helluva move from the magician" or something like that

[Drumstick]

I fell asleep after the Orton match.

[Lonestar]

I fell asleep after the Orton match.

Same, Edge winning was too predictable.

Quality match though, they booked it very well.

[HailToTheKingBaby!]

I can see HBK somehow getting a title shot at Edge at Mania with Orton using his Rumble win to face HHH, using the McMahon storyline to setup a feud between the two.

I do wonder though if HBK and JBL's storyline will stilll continue somehow - seems a bit of a sudden ending to a fairly well built up storyline if they just go their seperate ways now without JBL seeking any kind of payback etc..

I imagine there'll be something like JBL will refuse to pay HBK what he owes him and so they'll continue feuding a while. Unless JBL hires someone else and uses them to get back at HBK for failing him. Maybe an Edge vs HBK vs JBL vs JBL's New Employee fatal four way title match at mania.. hope not but wouldn't surprise me at all.

So after a night of shocks we have more in the.......

GRAPL Round 2 Results!

Here are the results for those that missed it:

ECW Champion Jack Swagger vs. Finlay
Winner: Swagger (obvious)

Will Christian get physically involved? (yes/no)
Prediction: No (surprised by this)

JBL vs. Shawn Michaels
Winner: Shawn Michaels (obvious seen as they won't be fighting at wrestlemania)

Randy Orton vs. Shane McMahon
Winner: Randy Orton (obvious)

Will Vince McMahon interfere during the match? (yes/no)
Prediction: No (I expected someone to interfere for the McMahons)

Elimination Chamber for the World Championship: John Cena vs. Chris Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Kane vs. Mike Knox vs. Kofi Kingston
Winner: Edge (A real shock that PsychoPriest didn't call)

Last person to be eliminated?
Prediction: Rey Mysterio (I would've gone with Jericho myself)

Elimination Chamber for the WWE Championship: Edge vs. The Undertaker vs. Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Big Show vs. Vladimir Kozlov.
Winner: Triple H (I thought HHH would win it as I was expecting Cena to retain so they couldn't have two useless chambers. I was right but for the wrong reason)

First person to be eliminated?
Prediction: Kane (Why!?!)

Jeff Hardy to last longer than The Undertaker? (yes/no)
Prediction: No (Mockmaster was a little confused by this but even though he was in a pod he did get an entrance and was in the chamber so for me he was in the match all that time)

Which elimination chamber will last longer bell to bell? (WWE/World)
Prediction: WWE @ 36 minutes to World @ 31

Will Matt Hardy physically attack Jeff Hardy at anytime during the show? (yes/no)
Prediction: No (Erm why not?)

So now with those shocks what are the results like? Pish to be honest. They shocked us all. I fell asleep during the JBL match so I missed the best bit Remember all scores are out of 12.

Right the results in reverse order:

On his own at the back of the pack is........
Prototype: 3
Kudos to him he broke away from the pack and took risks. But in the wrong matches.

In joint fifth with four points....
Gaming Legend: 4
Ginga: 4

In joint fourth with five points.....
Dark Dragon 64: 5
Return of the Star: 5
Drumstick: 5
Cropolite: 5
PCCD: 5
PsychoPriest: 5
Trugamez: 5

In joint third place with half marks.....
Zellery:6
Lonestar: 6
Corazon: 6
Lucien: 6
Adam Pollard: 6
Teh Bork:6
LaggyJim: 6
Mockmaster: 6

At this point I'll tell you that there's only one person in first place. Will it be A J Styles who once again achieves solo glory at the top? Or will someone cut down AJ's lead and put himself in place for a serious challenge for the top prize?

































Joint second are:
PsychicSykes: 7
A J Styles: 7
Sw26: 7
E-man: 7 - He pulls it back after his awful first round

So with AJ gone that means the person in undisputed first place.............

Brick Tamlin:8

Just the one point in it. Not surprised to see the scores so low. So let's see how that has changed the leaderboard.

GRAPL Leaderboard after Round 2

WWE Champion: A J Styles - 18

Brick Tamlin - 17

Zellery - 16

Trugamez - 15
Dark Dragon 64 - 15
Mockmaster - 15
Laggyjim - 15
Sw26 - 15
Teh Bork - 15
Return_of_the_STAR - 14
Adam Pollard - 14
PsychicSykes - 14
Corazon - 13
PsychoPriest - 13
Drumstick - 12
Lonestar - 12
E-man - 11
NEW ECW Champion: Cropolite - 10 (he gets it for being the lowest having played two rounds)
Ironmaiden - 9 (only played one)
Poncho - 8 (only played one)
Lucien: 6 (only played one)
PCCD: 5 (only played one)
Gaming Legend: 4 (only played one)
Ginga: 4 (only played one)
Prototype: 3 (only played one)

So we currently have 3 players clear, taking up the prize slots, but with 9 people at the top separated by only 3 points it's still wide open. There's only Wrestlemania to go so I'll see you Wrestlemania weekend for your predictions.

[Drumstick]

So with AJ gone that means the person in undisputed first place.............

Brick Tamlin:8

No way.

[Mockmaster]

Thank god everyone else performed dismally. I'm still in with a shout.

[Hank Scorpio]

So with AJ gone that means the person in undisputed first place.............

Brick Tamlin:8

No way.

Don't doubt the mostly random guesses

[Bene Version 2]

Really surprised with No Way Out, what looked like a fairly pridictable boring PPV turned out to be dazzling entertainment. The possibilities for WM are very interesting now.

[Cropolite]

[Zellery]

Decent PPV with shocks galore!

I thought Orton/McMahon was actually really good. I don't know where you find your info KKLEIN but maybe it's time to stop listening to it.

Both chamber matches were decent but why must HUNTOR always win everything?

[Mockmaster]

Because he has to beat Flair's 16 World Titles.

Sad thing is he's 19. I wouldn't even do it at 9.

I find ProWrestling.net, the PWTorch offshoot from Jason Powell, is an even more prolific source for regular news.

Yas suck on that ECW Championship Cropolite.
