Eddie Guerrero Division Quarterfinals: RESULTS!

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

OK, these are all runaway victories, so let’s call it now and move on:

- Eddie & Chavo Guerrero (71%) cheat and steal their way over Strike Force (29%), as Eddie bribes Martel into turning on his partner with promises of giving him the low-rider.  Of course, Eddie steals it back afterwards.

- RVD & Sabu (72%) handle the Fantastics (28%) without much trouble, as they finish off Fulton with Rolling Thunder to advance into the Sweet Sixteen.  They got a REALLY lucky draw thus far, I’ll say that for them. 

- The British Bulldogs (74%) manhandle the Dudley Boyz (26%), as D-Von gets the tables, but Dynamite comes off the top with a sunset flip to pin Buh Buh Ray in the meantime. 

- And in the biggest rout of the bracket, Tully & Arn (80%) squash Haas & Benjamin (20%) after a spirited go by the World’s Greatest Tag Team. 

So the next round will give us:

- Eddie & Chavo Guerrero v. RVD & Sabu

- The British Bulldogs v. Tully Blanchard & Arn Anderson

And that final round of sixteen begins NEXT!

Scott’s Stupid Dream Tag Team tournament: The Field

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

OK, so after giving this about 5 minutes of total thought, here’s my 64 team field for the first annual Scott’s Stupid Dream Tag Team Tournament.  This is not in any particular order, it’s just 64 teams I could think of off the top of my head who are pretty cool and probably deserve slots here.  If there’s any more deserving you can think of, now is the time to nominate them.  I’m just gonna end up randomly seeding them and letting people vote in a poll to determine the winner.  The criteria will be entirely up to you.  Vote for your favorite, the ones who were the best workers, the ones you’d think would win a real fight, whatever.

The nominated teams:

The SmarK Anthology Rant for Wrestlemania VII

Friday, August 28th, 2009

The SmarK Retro Rant for WWF Wrestlemania VII

- Yeah, this is a kind of a random choice, I know, but I've been meaning to do the full Anthology version of the show for months now and this is as good a night as any. Since we didn't have PPV in Edmonton at the time, this is the first time I've ever seen anything besides the heavily edited Coliseum version of this show.

- Live from the Los Angeles Coliseum LA Sports Arena

- Your hosts are Gorilla Monsoon and a rotating cast of color commentators, mainly Bobby Heenan. First up is Hacksaw Duggan, introduced with entrance music dubbed over where he had none previously. I don't get that.
