Wrestling Scavenger Hunt 2.24.08: Issue 1

Posted by Jordan Linkous on 02.24.2008

I have a brand new, reader involving, super interactive column!

Now you might be wonder where "Why I Love/Hate Wrestling" has gone. Well, it, like WWE vs. TNA, has gone into hiding in the back of my closet, presumably never to come out again. Now I bring to you THE MOST READER INVOLVED COLUMN EVER (since the Finks Payload). In this column, I am asking you, the readers, to find pictures of certain things in wrestling and send them to me. I got this idea from WWE magazine, but this is so much more The point system is as follows: as long as you submit a picture that meets the guidelines, you get two points. If I pick your picture as the best one, however, you receive five points and your picture is featured on the column the following week.


There are a few rules that go along with this column, however.

Rule 1: No Photoshop, Except for One
This is a big no-no. If I catch anyone Photoshopping, they will immediately lose all there points from that week. I know it is sometimes hard to decipher a real photo from Photoshop, so please, people, have some morals. There is a silver lining for those who love Photoshop. I will assign one Photoshop picture a week where you can go wild. But, other than the Photoshop picture, these must be unchanged.

Rule 2: Unless Otherwise Noted, You MUST be in the Picture!
This is basically a way for me to judge the validity of your picture. This is so I know if a picture is one that you have taken or a picture that you got off the internet. This kind of goes along with rule on since people can Photoshop themselves into pictures. So if I say, for example, that I need a picture of "Kane with the Undertaker posing without wrestling attire, you are not necessary," that means I don't need you. So just look for the "you are not necessary" line and you should do fine. But if I see two of the exact same pictures, both people will not receive points for that picture. Just don't copy off the internet, and it will be fine.

Rule 3: Be Creative
As long as you submit a picture meeting the requirements, you will get your two points. But if you want the five pints and a spot on next week's column, then be creative. I can't give you any ideas but all I am saying is the more outrageous, innovative, or funny the picture is the more likely you will get top honors. The point system will be added next week once I have some pictures to work with.

Rule 4. No Time Limit!
The best thing is that there is no time limit to submit you pictures. However, if you want the five points, you must submit the picture by the following FRIDAY AT MIDNIGHT. But, if you don't want the five points, you have as long as you want, just make sure you label the picture.


Here is a list of seven items to search for for next week's column.

1. A picture of yourself wearing a TNA shirt at a WWE event, or visa-versa.
2. A picture of a wrestling inspired bumper sticker.
3. A picture of you wearing a wrestler's shirt (IE Edge) and posing with their enemy (IE Matt Hardy).
4. A picture of a wrestler with a different hairstyle than they have now.
5. A picture of a wrestler without his mask.
6. A picture from a PWG show.
7. PHOTOSHOP PICTURE OF THE WEEK: A picture of Rob Van Dam getting high.


So there are this week's pictures. I also have a particular way I would like you to submit your pictures. Send then to me, obviously. In the subject area, please name it "Wrestling Scavenger Hunt." Be sure to label your pictures with the category from the list it corresponds with. And finally, somewhere on the email, write: Submitter: (your name).


Alright people, there you go. I am hoping for tons of reader participation and I will include everyone who submits. Have fun out there, guys. Until then, stay classy, 411Mania readers.
