Wrestling: The Great American Crash

BACKGROUND INFO:
My newest form of time-suckage is the WWE's Fantasy Roster Game, where you invest in wrestlers and gain points based on their involvement in TV matches, pay-per-views, etc. I've invited some friends to join in a league so we can track each others' scores. Last week I let them in on my roster picks based on who I thought was going to win Sunday's pay-per-view matches.
Well, still trust me guys? Last weeks picks didn't work out so well, since the Smackdown writers have apparently lost their minds. Let's review:

Heidenreich (with Road Warrior Animal) beat MNM for the tag belts generating 63 points. oohhh what a rush!

Booker T beats Christian. Who did Christian piss off backstage? The guy is looking like the next Roddy Piper to the fans, yet gets the shaft when it comes to booking. As you can guess, I picked Christian, and he only made 19 points.

Orlando Jordan retains the US belt against Benoit, thereby permanently sending Benoit into career limbo and making the belt pretty much useless. I believe they were booking Benoit to win, leading to a Hassan-Benoit feud, but had to throw that out when they decided to kill Hassan off. Anyway, Benoit still made 30 points because he was in some TV stuff on Thursday.

Which leads us to Undertaker vs. Hassan. Both these guys were on the roster but since the deadline to lock choices in, WWE decided to bow to network TV pressure and write Hassan out of the storyline, (that's a first, you cave on a terrorist angle, but retain and defend storylines involving sexual predators, child abuse, necrophilia, and racial stereotypes?). Anyway, as expected Undertaker absolutely destroys Hassan. For the week, Hassan gets 14 points, and Taker a whopping 49.

Mexicools vs BWO was unconfirmed at roster cut-off, so no choices made and no points generated.

Rey Mysterio beats Eddie Guerrero to preserve the "family secret" that Eddie has regarding Mysterio's son. Now, you would think if the writers had been teasing the secret for weeks on TV, and if Eddie declared that if he won, he would reveal all at the pay-per-view, that the result of the match would be fairly predictable right? Give the viewers the pay-off, reveal the secret, and let Mysterio get redemption at a rematch at Summerslam. Not according to the monkeys who handle the booking, but even so, choosing Guerrero gets 49 points, as he was on TV a lot this week.

Then there was a match involving some talentless women, the point of which was that the loser would get stripped down to their underwear, thereby presumably suffering embarrassment and ridicule. In true WWE (or perhaps western media culture) fashion, both participants and the referee all ended up in their skivvies. In retrospect I should have chosen all these girls, because (like in real life) they are relatively cheap, and this match qualifies as a "specialty" match and gets bonus points. Oh well, 67 points down the drain because of my judgment of taste.

Then the main event: Batista vs. JBL. I thought this one was a lock, and picked Batista. Obviously since Undertaker was to become number one contender, they would want Batista to look strong for the monster vs. monster showdown at Summerslam. Batista retains the belt, and made a pile of bonus points by repeated uses of a steel chair, but a DQ loss to JBL kind of makes him look like stupid and weak. Regardless 62 points is still good for me, so whatever.
At the end of the week, I am now ranked 945th in the game with 1186 total points.

So now, what to do about this week? I'm going back to a RAW only roster, as Smackdown clearly has no predictable direction.
Here they are, with cost in millions (and reasoning):

Carlito 3.5M (will either have a cabana segment, or a match for Shelton to try to get his revenge)

Chris Jericho 4M (guaranteed for some points for the battle of the band segment against John Cena, and has a better chance of having an actual match as well)

Chris Masters 2.5M (if it really is Big Show vs Masters at Summerslam, they need to keep him on TV)

Edge 4M (will be in specialty stretcher match with Kane, so extra points)

Kane 4M (see Edge above)

Kurt Angle 5M (the invitational challenge will be on again, possibly with that same underdog guy) Also, look for him to figure strongly the next week, and pick Triple H as the "hometown hero" that finally takes him down, since they are in Connecticut, and then in Pittsburgh the week after. Big Summerslam match is a face Triple H vs. heel Kurt Angle.

Shelton Benjamin 4M (see Carlito above. They need to push that feud as hard as they can going into Summerslam)

The Hurricane 3M (with not much on the show tonight there will probably be a tag match)
