RIPPA Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Hiya~! I am starting a little earlier this year because I am planning on some extra presentation (since I am stupid) so I need the brackets done earlier And since I am planning on doing a more "elaborate" bracket reveal - I am being purposely vague on what the criteria is. So you will just have to trying and figure it out on your own. YOU ARE IN THE CLUTCHES OF A MAD MAN!!!! The one always constant - Usual eligibility period applies: March 1, 2015 - February 29, 2016. LEAP YEAR BITCHES~! ONE EXTRA DAY TO WRESTLE YOUR WAY ON OR OFF!!! I will be opening nomination threads up shortly. I already have over 50 names that I think I am putting on and there are two distinct areas I haven't explored yet. So you are going to have to make compelling arguments for me to bump guys. Threads will be broken down to WWE/NXT REST OF US/UK JAPAN LUCHA/LUCHA UNDERGROUND
Matt D Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 I do think we should all be hanging out in a taima.tv type room with a massive youtube list of people who are listed. But I'm too lazy to set that up.
The Man Known as Dan Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 I think that'd be brilliant, but I don't have the knowledge to set it up
RIPPA Posted February 11, 2016 Author Posted February 11, 2016 I was planning on just releasing Youtube videos but if someone thinks of a better idea - I could do that. I mean technically I could Periscope but on some levels I would want to save it
Meltzing Pot Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 That dude on PWO made an awesome Taima list for their Greatest Wrestler Ever poll. He's probably crazy and helpful enough to do it.
RIPPA Posted February 11, 2016 Author Posted February 11, 2016 Allan's the one who did all the playlists I want him to keep finding me random obscure indy shit to watch
JRGoldman Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 That dude on PWO made an awesome Taima list for their Greatest Wrestler Ever poll. He's probably crazy and helpful enough to do it. That was si eom, who I believe is still active here, but not at PWO.
Meltzing Pot Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Super nice guy in my limited chats with him. Anyone tight with him that might be able to ask him? I think that would be a great resource.
RIPPA Posted February 11, 2016 Author Posted February 11, 2016 Dammit - I wish I wasn't on my phone because I already think I can giddily post a Mad Maxx gif based on reading the other threads
RIPPA Posted February 12, 2016 Author Posted February 12, 2016 Just clarifying this since I have seen it come up a few times I don't have a set number of people from each group. The groups are just to help me organize a little bit (and to not make each nomination section that overwhelming to weed through) So there isn't a set 16 WWE, 16 Japan, etc... It basically is the 64 I feel work best for the tournament
The Z Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 I've just seen the folks over at VOW have compiled a very helpful spreadsheet that might give some inspiration. They have made a list of all matches that have been called great matches in the last calender year and made a wrestler ranking based on those matches. It's woth looking into. http://www.voicesofwrestling.com/2016/01/13/2015-year-end-stats-star-ratings-tv-attendance-wwe-njpw-nxt-roh/ Direct link to the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1D6lx2wLUrnTwJuc6zBjIuvpt7SzF7ik6q85E3_ppCIQ/edit?usp=sharing
Jiji Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 So, the arguing has already begun. March is going to be a parade of the following: I'm just thankful Stro will not be participating.
GodzillaPerez Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 I'm just waiting for someone to top Matt D's post complaining about Cody Rhodes' lack of facial expressions while doing missile dropkicks. I mean, once I saw his face, I agreed with what Matt wrote but that's still one of the nit-pickiest things I've ever read.
RIPPA Posted February 15, 2016 Author Posted February 15, 2016 Oh man - I might already have to rename the Brian Fowler Memorial Award
The Man Known as Dan Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 We are gonna kill each other before March even starts.
The Natural Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 As we're on the road to March Madness Civil War, here's my quick annual "You fucked up!" reminder to Big Fresh's botch in the final costing Daniel Bryan the year he deserved to win it most against Cesaro.
RIPPA Posted February 17, 2016 Author Posted February 17, 2016 Just a point of order - since I have to actual prepare - I am using Sunday (ie Fast Lane) as my last day before making the brackets. Obviously things could change up until I actually release the brackets but I gotta start somewhere
Cristobal Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 What percentage of the brackets would you say are being created with hatred in your heart?
RIPPA Posted February 17, 2016 Author Posted February 17, 2016 What percentage of the brackets would you say are being created with hatred in your heart? My own hatred or other people's hatred? 2
CSC Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 What percentage of the brackets would you say are being created with hatred in your heart? My own hatred or other people's hatred? "That's impossible. No one can give more than 100%, By defintion, that's the most anyone can give."
RIPPA Posted February 18, 2016 Author Posted February 18, 2016 So from what I count there were approximately 160 nominations. 114 before counting the WWE. The WWE was a shit show since a couple of people basically posted the entire roster. (So I didn't even count those) And you guys missed some biggies. So yeah... making a bracket is going to be... interesting
