I have been trying to think of another "event" to run for awhile when Ed came to me babbling about some sort of dream that involved tag teams where one member had already died. I have no fucking idea where he got it - I just know that we started thinking of tag teams and had a billion. And that running this will make people cry when their favorites lose. Or everyone ignores it. While we were trying to think of teams - completely independently - JT send me a message that was all YOU SHOULD TOTALLY DO A HALF-DEAD TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT!!! So clearly this was a sign that this was happening. And JT needs to get the fuck out of our heads. This will be a two stage... thing. Actual voting will go up tomorrow. RULES AND EXPLANATION Wrestler could only be used once Teams are made up of one dead member and one living member Teams are from OUR LIFETIME (Basically since the early 70s... we only kinda really stretched for a few teams) We tried to do teams that teamed regularly... basically if had tag title it was good enough for us. Just work with us people. STAGE ONE We are starting with 72 teams. We actually thought of more but some of them are pretty thin. But I needed a number that would work properly with the wacky format. There will be 6 "Battle Royals" of 12 teams. In each poll, you can vote for up to 4 teams (it is honor system - but since vote is public I will see if you cheat and totally wipe out your vote). In each group - TOP 5 VOTE GETTERS ADVANCE. (30 teams advance that way) Of the remaining teams - the two teams (regardless of group) with the highest vote total advance (thus bringing us to 32) STAGE TWO Straight 32 man tournament. Seeding will be somehow based on the results of the "battle royals" but I haven't figured out that part yet. Teams in the next post

Maybe even consider this a #1 contenders match or something... I don't give a fuck HANSEN/BRODY http://youtu.be/tG8U9s6LYdI AUSTIN/PILLMAN http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7725x_dustin-rhodes-armstrong-vs-steve-au_sport

The amount of All Japan teams the Freebirds have faced in this kinda makes me sad that their Japanese body of work in real life is not as extensive as it could have been. Anyway - here is the final FREEBIRDS MISAWA/KOBASHI http://youtu.be/C7CJPNFY5sw

This shouldn't be close but y'all have been known to be stupid AUSTIN/PILLMAN MISAWA/KOBASHI http://youtu.be/fCE2HOpuGmY

Assuming this works (which is should since I had Ed make sure he could see it too) HERE ARE THE BRACKETS FOR STAGE TWO Basically the "seeds" were determined by total vote count. The 5 Wild Card teams were put at the end. Any ties were broken via coin flip. Starting tomorrow - I will do 4 matches a day for the rest of the week
