RIPPA

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

No

So many gimmicks... Your handy guide from Luchawiki God - I remember him first showing up on the 500 as Pinoy Boy in May of 2002. So yeah... we are all fucking old

Apparently they were tired of people playing Coveted

What's this nonsense about a "I'm not a Hipster" update?

I want to personally thank John Brooks' Dad for his service to this country And for his way with the German ladies

PANTS ON THE GROUND! PANTS ON THE GROUND! EVERYBODY WITH THEIR PANTS ON THE GROUND!!!

SHUT UP ALL OF YOU! JOHN BROOKS IS MY FAVORITE PLAYER!!! I NEVER SAID SHIT ABOUT HIM!!!

I AM SO GLAD JOHN BROOKS PLAYS FOR THE US!!!!

Well that was inevitable

There was also the Smackdown one from 2004(?) for the Title. I posted it in the Great Khali WOTD thread

Let's be honest - we are lucky they aren't chanting ECW!

Nope - no way this is ending well

Ooof.... why didn't we let John Brooks play for Germany?

Apparently John Brooks is coming on for Besler So that would be two guys subbed out because of hamstring injuries

The analysis from Landon Donovan is quite awkward

While this campaign still sucks - Grant Hill's fake (or real) wife is super cute http://youtu.be/nWp3FqwYmgs EDIT - Apparently that is his wife Tamina. So congrats Grant!

Speaking of immobile - Demarcus Beasley looks as fit as me out there

US Soccer is saying Jozy has "strained" hamstring

This could easily be discussed in like 842 threads around here but anyway... From Meltzer today

What's funny is that I was just sitting here thinking "Sunderland fans are probably wondering why this couldn't happen mid-season"

Well that sucks....
