Fantasy Update: That’s a thing!?

This past Monday, the writers of our humble blog sat down to draft their teams for our fantasy WWE league. I know what you’re thinking: “But Mapes, I didn’t even realize that you could have a fantasy WWE league. I thought fantasy sports were just limited to NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, college basketball, college football, NASCAR, golf and cricket? Are you saying that I can be in a fantasy league where I get points for Randy Orton throwing Christian through the Spanish announcers’ table?”

Yes, surprisingly long-winded reader, that is exactly what I’m saying.

In fact, all of us at Raw is Real loved this idea so much that we amped it up to the tune of eight teams of five-man rosters (four Superstars and one Diva) and a $200 auction draft. Here are some of the props and slops to come out of the draft.

Props:

1) Sarah (Mysterious K2) nabbing Kelly Kelly for $55. Kelly Kelly wrestles. A lot. She’s easily the most valuable Diva, and she probably should have gone for at least $20 more. She got nominated early when everyone was still concerned about saving money for a top-flight Superstar.

2) Ramsey (Mr. Ramsey) - a.k.a. John Triton’s friend who doesn’t actually write on the blog a.k.a. The-Out-Of-Towner - landing Cody Rhodes for $50. You get some serious points for defending a belt and Cody Rhodes is the freshly-minted Intercontinental Champ. He was the last big name off the board and most people had blown their budget by the time his name was called.

3) Goose (CMSkunk) buying Mark Henry for $41. Mark Henry will not stop until everyone on SmackDown has a broken leg, or has died. Fortunately for Goose, you get a ton of points for using chairs, throwing people through barricades and sending your fellow wrestlers to the hospital. I’ve also heard that "babies eaten" could be a new scoring category by mid-season. If that’s the case, look for the World’s Strongest Man to really shine down the stretch.


Slops:

1) Goose taking Christian for $64. He just lost the World Heavyweight belt to Orton and I’ve heard that replicas of his pants aren’t selling too well over at WWE.com. Could be relegated to mid-card status for the immediate future.

2) Moose’s (Haven’t Cena Nuff) entire team, except Cena. She refused to leave the table without Cena, spending a whopping $141 on him. As a result, she had to fill her team out with Evan Bourne, Undertaker and an injured Big Show. The only way she wins the league is if Cena can somehow hold all of the belts simultaneously. I would not put this past the WWE.

3) John Triton (John Cena’s Dad) selecting Zack Ryder with the last nomination of the auction. WOO WOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
