Gah! Since when is the PPV the start of the next week rather than the end of the week!
WWE Stablewars Season 38 Update - Week 1
199 stables have entered WWE Stablewars Season 38, the third highest entry number ever, and after a crazy first week with wrestlers swapping brands left, right and centre The Outsider's Matt Sin and Western Union's pabscm (the Football Mike fan club?) lead the scoring, with a host of other forum members amongst the top stables as well, a definite change from previous seasons. Matt Sin and pabscm are both on 70 points and have a six point lead over Wrestling_God15 in third place, while Crazy Irish, LiQuid, Naturally Aivaz, Watsuki and Scott Savage also find themselves in the top ten.
Matt Sin's stable consists of Big Show, Finlay, Matt Hardy, Ted Dibaise Jr, Hornswaggle, Natayla Neidhardt and Mike Adamle, while pabscm has built his stable with Big Show, Hornswaggle, Jeff Hardy, Kofi Kingston, Finlay, Victoria and Lillian Garcia, and both stables worked out well with Big Show being the week's second highest scorer with 21 points and Finlay and Hornswaggle also picking up 14 points apiece. Of other notable stables, recent winners The Biznich (Season 37) finished the week in 112th place with 32 points, Franchise (Season 36) was in 160th with 26 points and TEAM D/XTREME (Season 35) ended up in 79th with 37 points. Non-member The Mr. Diablos was in last place with just 7 points for the week.
Edge was the leading scorer in Week 1 with 22 points, and fellow main-eventers Big Show (21 points), Triple H (19 points) and John Cena (17 points) scored well also. Finlay, Hornswaggle and Mark Henry led the way for the mid-carders, while Natayla Neidhardt and Victoria were the highest scoring diva/semi active wrestlers with 7 points each. With regards to wrestler popularity, for a change the main-eventers were fairly spread out, with John Cena the most picked main-eventer for the season appearing in only 43 of the 199 stables, with Big Show, Triple H and Batista all being picked 30 or more times each as well. Ted Dibiase Jr was easily the most picked mid-carder, with 77 stables taking him, while Chris Jericho, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Hornswaggle and Finlay were also popular choices. Natayla was the most picked (non-throwaway) diva/semi active wrestler, appearing in 44 stables, ahead of Mickie James in 31 stables and Katie Lea in 22 stables.
The Outsiders were the leading faction after the first week with an average ranking of 43rd, ahead of Team Discovery Channel (ave 49th), The Five Horsemen (ave 64th) and The Mega Powers (ave 72nd), while The New Age Outlaws (ave 132nd) and The Natural Born Thrillaz (ave 133rd) were the worst performed. Fuggly Bastard, LiQuid and Matt Sin are the currently assigned Survival Of The Fittest representatives, with a random rep to be assigned from amongst Ronin, MyEvilTim and Football Mike for the Five Horsemen. Of these, Fuggly Bastard was the lowest placed after Week 1, in 114th place.
Just a reminder that the stats I used to do are now automated and can be found at this here link :
http://www.stablewars.com/sw/wwe_stats.php, thus saving me a heap of work each week, which is fantastic, and some career Stablewars records are also available at
http://www.stablewars.com/sw/wwe_fullstats.php, which is great as well, so all thank Watsuki for doing those too.
Night Of Champions has also been scored (as a Week 2 show) so this update is already out of date and things have changed slightly though Matt Sin is still in the lead, and it will certainly be interesting to see what happens this week as all of the wrestlers begin appearing on their new brands with potentially new pushes and new feuds, so stay tuned for what should be a great season.
Oh, and I'll put these updates in the discussion thread this season I think, to save starting a new thread every week that no-one replies too, unless anyone would still prefer me to do that? Let me know, and otherwise, enjoy!
