jaedmc Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 I voted to include the whole world because I am old enough to remember a time when this board was only marginally interested in WWE, at best, and when voting was something you were supposed to do regardless of your apathy. Fuck that dude. WE GOT TO PUT ZIGGLER IN BEFORE OKADA! See. This is your problem. You can't keep your foot out of you mouth. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 That reminds me, having proclaimed during last year's March Madness that this was going to be THE YEAR OF DOLPH, and now that THE YEAR OF DOLPH is officially coming to an end, I guess it's time to look back and reflect one last time at how great that all went... .... ..... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEN! Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 March Madness always boils down to nothing more than a popularity contest rather than an objective discovery of who the best wrestler from March to March truly was. It's an abomination of the democratic process! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyLaw Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 While we're at it, can we talk about the idiots who always bitch about how close/how big a blow out the vote is as if that is some indication of the quality of the wrestlers involved? If everyone on the board agreed that Goldust had just a slightly better year than Bryan, it would still be a shutout. It would obviously not mean that everyone thought Goldust sucked.

SirSmUgly Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I would like to see how Okada and Tanahashi do in this tournament, so definitely reserve at least a few spots for non-U.S. workers. Maybe you could just take the top two or three guys from some of the major international promotions like NJPW and AAA? Also: Do an NIT bracket for the rest of the world. I watch NJPW but I don't see a lot of Lucha. I doubt most here have watched enough of EVERYTHING.. Respectfully, I would like to say that I disagree with this because, when I was lurking here, I personally used March Madness to see everything that I did not otherwise see. People would bring up guys from CHIKARA and CMLL that I had not seen and post some videos, and it really expanded my viewpoint of modern wrestling. My favorite thing about this exercise is really that I get to learn about wrestlers that I don't know from you guys. For example, the MM tourney is responsible for my enjoyment of Vordell Walker somehow, even though I don't remember him actually being in the tournament. Someone brought him up and posted videos, however, and it was fantastic. It is really fun to get to evaluate guys that you have not seen up against the guys that you are familiar with, which splitting up the tournament into multiple brackets would take away. That is why I was so happy to get a chance to post here and maybe contribute in my own small way; you all have given me quite a lot to watch and consider and think about when I watch wrestling, and MM is a big part of that.

Cristobal Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I would like to see how Okada and Tanahashi do in this tournament They'll crash out as soon as they go against a US wrestler of at least moderate popularity on the board. And then there will be shouting. Oh will there be shouting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooseCannon Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Have someone run a February Follies rest of the world tournament for people who care about that shit and give the top 2-4 guys entry into March Madness. Davey Richards might get out of the first round if he faces one of them foreign boys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORELOCK Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 My tentative plan is to just vote WWE all the way until every match is WWE, should the whole globe win out here. Which will be what, second round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact before FSW was anti-Punk I was anti-Rey Mysterio. There's really nothing earnest about you at all, is there? It's just all gimmick all the time. I mean with FSW, you can see what he really digs. He's got a slant on things, but some of that is just because of where he's from and his relative youth. When I'm an ass, it's usually some heightened version of what I'm feeling or I'm just getting into things here. You're just the living embodiment of insubstantial internet ooze. Anyway, screw the vote, Jae. I'm convinced. Pepper in some international guys. If they get trounced, then that's part of the character of the place. People have criticisms of Tanahashi or whoever here that they have less elsewhere and they're no less valid than any other criticisms I see. It'll get me to watch some Rush matches which I haven't done yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Jesus, jaedmc, you must be a masochist. I really want a Davey Richards vs. Mr. Anderson first round match.

SorceressKnight Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Voted "Rest of the World", but just a couple possibilities for it: -Since it's a March Madness-style one, with how the NCAAs changed up- would adding a "First Four" or "First Eight" rule to help the rest of the world or indies in help more- the lowest eight play in for the 15-16 seeds? That way, you keep some spots for top indy names and/or top international names? -For the "do you add women" in, with the "NIT" suggestion there and how it works for others, would a March Madness, women's only field of `16 NIT field work well for anyone?

piranesi Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 It's pretty obvious that the correct vote is entire world. It's the choice that will most fulfill the true spirit of March Madness: "Wait, what is the true meaning of March Madness, Mark Henry?" "Lights please! The true spirit of March Madness is to do whatever it takes to somehow get Jaedmc's hopes up that this year might be different. That this year people might actually see all his hard work as a chance to expand their horizons rather than just to be the same assholes who are going to say and do the same dumb shit they did last year." "And then, Mark Henry? What then?" [sigh]"Here, since you dumb sad fools can't quite grasp this, let me show you in a language you understand, crude photoshop" "And that, my sad dumb message board, is the true meaning of March Madness. Lights please." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
