OK, these are all pretty decisive, so I’m calling them now so we can move on.
- Edge & Christian (92%) steamroll the Quebecers (8%) in the Battle of Canada, where the promos were probably awesome.
- The Outsiders (68%) beat the New Age Outlaws (32%) in the battle to win HHH’s love, as Kevin Nash no-sells the belt shot and powerbombs Billy Gunn to win it.
- The Megapowers (83%) beat the Koloffs (17%) in an 80s dream match that ended up being little more than a squash. Big boot and legdrop for Uncle Ivan finish this one off, although you have to wonder how much longer Hogan & Savage can work together.
- The Midnight Express (54%) beat Miz & Morrison (46%) in a wonky result because someone was power-voting for M&M, which completely skewed the numbers to the point where I had to turn off the honor system and restrict voting. More realistically the numbers would have been about 80%-20% in favor of the Midnights, but either way they advance.
So for our semi-finals (which I think everyone already predicted) we have:
- Edge & Christian v. The Outsiders
- The Megapowers v. The Midnight Express
That’s gonna be some interesting voting right there.
Geez, I knew E&C would win, but I didn’t think they’d trounce the Quebecers THAT badly.
A little surprised Miz/Morrison didn’t win, not including the power-voting. I voted Midnight Express, but I thought that given M/M were a little more…current…they’d do better or barely squeak out a win.
You shouldn’t be terribly surprised about MX winning, this is Scott’s blog and most of us that post here are 80s marks.
That’s incredibly true. As I said, I was a “little” surprised.
MX beats M+M in every category (including theme music, cuz “The Chase” is Awe. Some.)
and Miz loses major points for being a douchebag borderline racist on the Real World. If you are on an MTV or VH1 reality show, you can’t have my vote.
… And HERE is where I have the Megapowers imploding, as the Express maneuvers them into one collision too many for Savage’s liking.
In the other semis, Nash has Christian up for the Jackknife, but a timely Spear by Edge saves it for Toronto’s Finest.
Midnight Express v Megapowers
MX should win that, I’ll be voting for them!
Hogan gets jumped in the back and taken out of the match forcing Savage to go 1 on 2, then he loses and blames Hogan, that settles it, Hogan wouldn’t job and it sets up a Savage/Hogan program
we need a fantasy PPV from the fallout of this tournament
