[RIPPA]

Please vote in all the match-ups. It kinda works better if you do.

 

Feel free to debate the merits of the teams below

 

[Pete]

Think you forgot to include Irwin/Studd vs Adams/Yoko.

Had to edit. Originally it only allowed 5 polls at a time.

Fixed now

I can't vote anyone over Yoko and Adams. 

[T.Rex-n-effeckx]

ZAMBUI EXPRESS!!

[Cobra Commander]

Andre/Baba v. Yoko/Crush is brought to you by an Andre/Yoko bodyslam challenge, and also brought to you by Crush taking the fall for his team

[BrianS81177]

If that match had actually happened when all 4 were alive, it might have been worse than Andre/Baba vs Land of the Giants

[MADCAP]

Always had a soft spot in my heart for the Zambuies.

[BrianS81177]

I actually got to see Ray Candy live once when NWA ran a show in Seattle in 89. How's this for a random 6 man:

 

Lex Luger, Rick Steiner, Dick Murdoch vs Road Warriors & Ray Candy

 

same show also had Junkyard Dog & Ivan Koloff vs Buddy Rose & The Grappler

Depends on the Andre I think. 70's Andre could have turned it into four star territory(especially with a skinny yoko). Older Andre and fat Yoko? WOOF

[BrianS81177]

I meant if it happened when all 4 were alive and teaming. So yeah that would be older Andre. BTW, Fat Yoko is kind of an odd choice of description isn't it?

 

Talking about the 4 teams here, if we're going on "in their primes" I think it's a toss-up between Andre/Baba and Yoko/Crush. I haven't seen too much of Baba in his younger days but I can't imagine he was as athletic as Andre was.

 

In their prime Yoko/Crush is a damn good team.

 

I actually would have voted for Studd/Irwin across the board in most any other bracket, even considering I am largely unfamiliar with Scott Irwin, but here it was hard to justify the picks.

 

As for the Zambui Express, I haven't seen a whole lot of them outside of their WCW run in the late 80s. Wasn't one of them also "Bad Leroy Brown" in the UWF for a while?

okay fatter yoko. . . though I can't claim to have seen any kokina maximus. . . 

[BrianS81177]

There's actually a lot of stuff of him in japan as Kokina Maximus on youtube.

[cool arrow]

Andre and Kokina squared off in Mexico in '92.

[Matt D]

If it was Bill Irwin, maybe.

 

Is anyone here a bigger Bill Irwin fan than me? 

[BrianS81177]

Wild Bill Irwin was very under appreciated as a worker IMO. 

[Matt D]

Brian knows what I'm talking about.

[BrianS81177]

God, Scott Irwin was only 35 when he died?

[EdA]

Yeah, Elijah Akeem was also Leroy Brown for Watts.
