DEAD CROCKETT CUP: DEAD IN THE HEART OF TEXAS (Group D)

[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

[Lamp, broken circa 1988]

I'm putting all of my support behind the Dynamic Duo in this one. MVC might have better individual wrestlers, but the Duo is the more cohesive tag team, both in ring and as an act.

[Babylonianfrost]

Christ, I had never known that Tom Burton had died.

 

(or, upon checking, that he had wrestled Takada...)

[The Great ML]

WHERE IS THE DOUBLE COUNTOUT OPTION!!!?

[T.Rex-n-effeckx]

Burton/Davis are really hurt in this bracket. If there was a DVDVR 500 in 92 Tom Burton and TNT Savio Vega would be the guys ridiculously high.

[Dewar]

Poor Burton and Davis...

[jaedmc]

Buzz Sawyer is one of my favorite mid-card acts of all time. Matt Borne is fucking awesome. It's difficult for me to vote against them. They're a team that even if you win, you don't really win because you'll be missing an ear or half your hair.

 

WATCH THIS:

 

Those boots, man. Buzz has that hoss muscle. They mistime the suplex back into the ring and he has to power his ass up there. Then you've got that careless powerslam backbreaker double-team move. Sick. They have the Batten so beat up that Buzz gives passes on a victory just so Borne can hit a fucking Whoopie Cushion. They don't just win, they make the Batten's their playthings. That's the kind of team I support.

[Matt D]

I like Mike Davis a thousand times more than any Von Erich.

[Goodear]

Hold it.  Hold it.

 

So I'm watching US Express vs. Matt Borne & Buzz and the commentator is talking about the teams in the upcoming tag title tournament.  And they bring up a new team...

 

Rick Rude and Jos Le Duc.

 

Rick Rude and Jos Le Duc?

 

RICK RUDE AND JOS LE DUC!?!?

 

This tournament is a fraud!  And I demand a refund for all the moneys I have spent.

 

I spent zero monies.

Yeah-yeah.  A quick Google search shows they only had one match against the Youngbloods.  So, not a regular team?

The teamed once - they lost in the first round to the Youngbloods.

As we said - we avoided one off teams like that
