Why it's Jack Shagger, the man nobody gives two strawberry floats about because they've spent the last few months making damn sure we don't care.
Jack Swagger is better than all of them though.

Thought it was just as gooseberry fool as last year's 'Mania. Once again it was saved by Taker vs HBK.

One man should not have this much power in this game. Luckily I'm not an ordinary man.

Massive let down for me. The main event was the only Wrestlemania worthy match, with some of the other stuff (e.g. the title matches) maybe just about PPV quality. The crowd was awful and Bret v Vince was terrible. It's sad to see Bret barely able to walk about the ring while Shawn Michaels was putting one one of the better matches in years an hour later.

It's over. Wrestlemania, GRAPL and the wrestling year. Event was a disappointment, it promised so much yet only delivered a couple of decent matches with predictable results. Will the GRAPL results bring a bit of entertainment? Probably if the maths I did last night are right. Someone is going to be pissed.

So Deadpool is definitely 3rd. Two years in a row he's been in the prizes shows he's a talented predictor and a good sport too. Congratulations! You get a £5 voucher.
But we have a tie at the top. Now I've given this plenty of thought and I've figured out the best and fairest way to decide the winner. It's not going to be popular with the loser that's for sure and I doubt he'll ever listen to sense but I'm going to explain anyway. This is the culmination of a years competition and as such it should be decided on who has done the best over that year. Paper, Scissors, The Rock or a question on Raw shouldn't determine the actions of a whole year. So the winner will be decided on who won the most PPVs in a year. The logical way to do it. It's a common decider of titles in sport and rightly so as it rewards those who have been the best. Also taken into account was that Zellery has a disqualification against his name. With a score of 3-0 the winner of GRAPL Year 2 is none other than.........
RETURN OF THE STAR
You are the new champion sir! The top prize is yours and you're the first winner of the first year long GRAPL. You have unseated Zellery who's reign as champ is finally over. He has to settle for 2nd place and the £10 prize. Be warned now though ROTS, you'll face a tough battle to keep hold of your title over the next year.
Congratulations to all the prize winners. PM me your choice of Amazon or Play and the email you have registered at that retailer. Prizes will be emailed to you on Thursday.
That is it. One year eh? Done and dusted. Thanks to everyone who took part, hope you all had fun. GRAPL will be back sometime before the draft for the opening round. I've already got a formula in mind, one that will iron out the problems, but if anyone has any suggestions then now is the time to put them forward. I will listen to anything so shoot away. It will be better than reading Zell's inevitable hissy fit anyway.
See you all soon!

I don't think it was the case of bad sound acoustics. Was watching the Manny/Clottey fight and that stadium was huge and you could hear the crowd. Past Wrestlemanias have been loud as hell too

I'd just like to say, Rog, that it's been a damn pleasure doing the GRAPL predictions, and thank you very much for running the game as it's been about the only thing keeping me interested in wrestling at times over the last year. Snuck into third!

They strawberry floated up again?!
Yep, in some places the stream didn't start until 12.45 and in other areas such as the North West it didn't get shown at all. That's why I had to leave the chat last night as my friend couldn't get it on Virgin and we had to all watch it round his laptop... which kept strawberry floating up so I either missed key moments in the matches or missed matches all together. We finally got a steady stream around the end of Edge/Jericho and the beginning of the abomination that was the Diva match.

It worked fine for me. Might try phoning them up and asking for a refund anyway.
Happy with my GRAPL performance, although for some reason I thought CM Punk had won and I had 22 points.
Still better than my last place last year though.
