The second annual SoBros Fantasy Wrestlemania Challenge is upon us!!! We had a lot of fun with this last year – shout to our first ever champion, The Ultimate Worrier, who shockingly and successfully predicted The Hardy Boyz return at Wrestlemania 33. Worrier was just one vote shy of winning the overall 2018 SoBros Championship because of his efforts. He is a genius, folks. Pay your respects.
Anyway, it’s a fantasy game! The premise is simple. We have 15 spots in the challenge to fill. You select a roster of wrestlers from different groups, and those wrestlers earn fantasy points over the course of the entire Wrestlemania weekend. After the event, the scores will be tallied, and the individual with the highest score will win a prize package. We’re still working on the prize package, but last year, Worrier got a Jakks Pacific Classic Superstars Series 3 Undertaker that was still in bangin’ shape. And, of course, a medal with his name on it. So, think along those lines. I’ll update this post once we’ve secured the package (hehe).
TO ENTER
*Like the Facebook page
*Follow us on Twitter
*Tweet/DM @StoneyKeeley to say you want in. It’s that simple.
Only enter if you can provide me with a United States shipping address to receive the prize package (sorry, international readers – our company still broke af).
RULES
*All entries MUST BE IN BY 5PM CST ON THURSDAY APRIL 5th! We’ll be down in Chattanooga covering the film festival the 6th and 7th, so I will be on limited availability during that time.
*We will be expanding this year’s contest to include NXT TakeOver: New Orleans.
*Upon officially entering this contest, I’ll reach out to you and ask you to choose a certain number of wrestlers from five different groups. If you’ve ever played fantasy Nascar….well…one, congrats – you’re a redneck. Two, it’s a lot like that. You’ll pick three wrestlers from Group A, two from Group B, so on and so forth on down the line to Group E. Wrestlers will earn points based on the scoring system provided below.
*Should the groups change, you will be contacted with an opportunity to change your roster.
*I’ll likely have to sit and rewatch the whole damn thing to get the scoring correct. So, the winner might not be announced for up to a week following the event.
