Mogolympics Entry - Javelin

The sixth event of the Mogolympics was the Javelin competition. The rules of this competition were: Build an outfit around the polearm of your choice.

This competition had some phenominal entries, all of which can be seen right here: Mogolympics - Javelin Recap.

I chose to build my outfit around Halberd of Desolation, the polearm that drops off of the very first boss in Black Temple. This was my personal favorite of all the outfits that I submitted for the Mogolympics. Similar to the wresting event, I missed the podium again by literally just a hair (1 point...heh).

Mogolympics Entry - Wrestling

The fourth event of the Mogolympics was wrestling and the winners have been chosen! The wresting competition rules were: "We’re going to deviate from olympic wrestling and go to the sports entertainment aspect instead.  Using one of the “championship” belts, design your own Azerothian pro wrestler.  Think of the oversized belts, such as the Firemend Cinch seen here."

As in the previous three competitions, there was some really great entries and the commentary was very well-done. The results of the competition can be seen here: Mogolympics - Wrestling

My entry came in the top five, and was literally a sneeze away from the Bronze medal for this competition. This was my entry:
