Stole this idea from another site I read and thought it might make for an amusing diversion. Basically, I'll be doing a thirty man/woman/animal/object over the top WWE style royal rumble using participants decided by the Wikipedia random function.
This isn't just me writing and you reading. After each 'round', you'll be asked to vote on who you want to be eliminated. Votes are cumulative, so the more votes an individual picks up - the more likely they are to be eliminated as time goes by.
Who will triumph in the first ever FFB Random Wikipedia Royal Rumble?
Rules
1. 30 entrants, determined by...erm...the random page function on Wikipedia.
2. Vote for who you want to be ELIMINATED, not who you want to win.
3. Once a wrestler reaches 5 votes, they are eliminated.
4. After 5 votes have been cast, a new superstar will enter. (Sometimes after more than 5 votes, if I don't check the thread quickly enough.)
5. Once you have voted you may not vote again until somebody is eliminated, OR a new wrestler enters.
6. Every time somebody is eliminated, the vote total for each wrestler in the ring decreases by 1 (unless they are on 0. Then it remains 0).

The lights go out at the Brooks Astronomical Observatory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_Astronomical_Observatory) as our commentary team of 43-1 boxing legend Riddick 'Sugar Man' Bowe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riddick_Bowe) and Tom Kraeutler, the co-host of the popular Money Pit Home Improvement Radio Show welcome us all to the show.
"Well sir," begins Kraeutler, "We're in for a real hammer and nails bout tonight. Yessir, it'll be all hands on deck with thirty participants using every tool in their toolshed in hopes of winning the first ever FFB Random Wikipedia Rumble. What say you, Sugar Man".
"Yep!"
And we're underway with our first participant en route to the ring. It's Russian performance art group Voina (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voina). Are all of the groups dozen or so members getting into the ring? No! It looks like they're going to have some kind of performance art-off to decide.
After a nonsensical series of movements and some paint throwing, one of their number gets into the ring! How will this nondescript Russian person do tonight?
Some Portugese sounding music hits and on his way to the ring is Jose Mestre, the man made famous for having a 40cm, 5kg tumor on his face. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Mestre).
The tumor is gone but the rage remains. Who will triumph in this battle between a Portugese post op tumor sufferer and a Russian performance artist?

Remember, you're voting for the person you'd like eliminated - not the one you'd like to win!
