18 This draft pick thing is bullshit and not that random. It's pretty awesome to pick 15 or worse every single year since it's been implemented and other teams are top 5 every single year.

Tim is referring to a 3-year trend:
- Nadolsky: 1, 1, 2
- Robine: 18, 11, 20
Had we randomized by last name instead of first,
Tim would have drawn 3 and Nadolsky would have drawn 16.
Unfortunately, Tim asked that we change things up this year. Bad luck.

In 2018, lottery numbers continued to normalize towards the 10.5 ideal:
- Long-term Veterans: 9.89 -> 10.0 (10.07 last or 9.93 first) for a 2.7% advantage over 7.9 years
- Short-term Veterans: 9.06 -> 9.28 (9.41 last or 9.16 first) for a 6.4% advantage over 4.8 years
Seemingly, the switch from last name to first name, resulted in bad luck for:
- 4/10 Long-term Veterans, 2/5 Short-term Veterans, and 4/5 Rookies
- Rookies actual: 7.8 last -> 11.8 first for a 19.1% downswing to a 6.2% disadvantage this year
However, in 2 sample sets rather than 1, Rookies numbers return to normal:
- Rookies average: 9.8 both = 3.3% advantage or 0.9% ahead of the longs and 2.5% behind the shorts
If anyone can see more patterns, your eyes are better than mine.

Or as Scott Steiner would say: See, normally if you go one on one with another wrestler, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But I'm a genetic freak and I'm not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat me. Then you add Kurt Angle to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the 3 way, at Sacrifice, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because Kurt Angle KNOWS he can't beat me and he's not even gonna try! So Samoa Joe, you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus my 25% chance and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. But then you take my 75% chance of winning, if we was to go one on one, and then add 66 2/3 percents, I got 141 2/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. See Joe, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you at Sacrifice.
