RIPPA Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Was there any internal debate over Kanyon and Bam Bam as 2/3 of the Jersey Triad vs Men at Work or was the whole point of this tourney to get Dean to react to Men at Work? When we first started this - Kanyon/Bam Bam were in because Mark Starr had yet passed away (which shows you how long ago we started talking about it) During the process, Starr died and Men At Work immediately went in because Ed and I are both MAW marks. It was just a bonus for when trying to sort these teams into groups that we could have an entire Dean group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we probably got all confused with the Moondogs and shit was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Just a reminder - I will close the matchups sometime this afternoon. I will probably do is sometime after lunch start looking through and all the clear cut groups I will shut down and then if there are any that are still close, let them go for a bit. Since I want this done before March Madness - I am going to run the Round of 16 through the weekend but voting won't close until Monday afternoon, so you aren't boned if you don't check the board over the weekends.

RIPPA Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) I have closed Groups A, B, C and H since those votes are clear. The other four groups have close enough races to wait out a little so YOU VOTE CAN STILL COUNT!!!! (or something) I will post those 4 results when I get home from work so around 5:30 EST Unfortunately - there is no way for me to close the poll but keep the topic open. (At least none that I have figured out) The Brackets so far are: Andre/Baba (1A) Tenta/Bravo (2B) MVC (1C) Von Erichs (2D) Adonis/Murdoch (1E) Garza/Fiera (2F) Jumbo/Misawa (1G) Link/Hercules (2H) Dynamic Duo (1D) Brody/Ladd (2C) Owen/Davey (1B) Adama/Yoko (2A) Gringos Locos (1F) Kimura/Go (2E) Hennig/Gilbert (1H)JYD/Buck (2G) Edited February 22, 2014 by RIPPA Completed Brackets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Yes - I am using true World Cup Bracketing. I am huge dork. God I should have rigged the groups better to keep MVC and Andre/Baba away from each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Okay - no one had voted in over a hour and I was bored at work so all groups are closed and results posted. Updated brackets and next match ups when I get home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoffman Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 When The Angel of Death himself can't survive the first round of a tag team tournament of death, that shows you just how stiff the competition is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Find it interesting Owen/Yokozuna didn't make it... I understand why, but I loved them as a team. EDIT: Neeevermind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS81177 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Rippa - question about this tournament. Are we supposed to consider the teams as they were when they actually teamed or consider their entire body of work? For example should we take Andre's whole career into account, or just the period when he and Baba teamed up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Are all of you really struggling with Dynamic Duo vs. Brody/Ladd that match that is has like 15 less votes than all the other polls? Come on people... get it together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdA Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I curse whoever made us discuss the Moondogs which segued into dead Hillbillies because now that fucking Hollywood Hillbillies ad keeps chasing me around the board.

RIPPA Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 I closed everything but Dynamic Duo vs. Brody/Ladd and Hennig/Gilbert vs. JYD/Buck. Those two are still in doubt and I will close when I get home around 4 pm This is what the Quarters looks like Andre/Baba MVC Adonis/Murdoch Jumbo/Misawa Dynamic Duo Owen/Davey Gringos Locos Hennig/Gilbert EDIT: I lied about JYD/Buck... for some reason I read 14 as 24. Yeah.. that one is no closed too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdA Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 God, we really needed to rig the bracketing. The first half of the Elite Eight is going to kill me while the second half...god do I not care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goddamn all of you. I went to a La Caja China website and now I see banner ads for Caja China on the board. That seems like interesting marketing, and delicious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way I am out of jae's way for March Madness. If it's kewl with you, my tentative plan is to post brackets Friday. First match-ups open on Monday. That way people can have the weekend to maybe actually watch some wrestlers they don't know. And also bitch about people I left off. Because that's my favorite part.
