So I'm watching a few minutes of NXT last week and while the concept isn't the worst thing I've ever heard the execution is very poor.
They are taking mostly developmental talent (and of course more experienced guys like Danielson) and making them wrestle each other in fairly boring contests.
Polls close at 11:59PM Monday night, so get voting!
OK, after taking into account requests in the previous thread, I’ve subbed in a few popular choices and subbed out a few unpopular ones (mainly those with Paul Roma in them, oddly enough) and after a random seeding process, we now have a field of 64 teams.
So here’s how it’s going to work: I’ve organized the tournament into four divisions: The Jim Crockett Division, The Eddie Gilbert Division, The Lou Thesz Division and the Eddie Guerrero Division. Each division has eight first round matchups, and we will proceed through each division until there’s a winner of each one. Then it’s a four-team tournament to crown the ultimate tag team of all-time!
Seedings are entirely arbitrary and meaningless, so don’t get offended because Demolition and the Road Warriors ended up so close together, for instance.
I decided to go with three options: You can pick either team to win, or you can pick a draw if you’re playing armchair booker and think it would end up that way. You can use whatever criteria you want to choose your winner, whether it be the team that’s your favorite, the team you think would be booked to win, the team that would win a real fight, I don’t care.
The official pairings follow after the break, and then we’ll begin with the Jim Crockett Division tonight!
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:
Michael's Extreme Review #6
-We are slightly taped from Kansas City. Your hosts are Josh Matthews and Matt Striker.
-Pyro is in High Definition so let's get started!
Hi Scott. I had an idea for a possible blog entry but it might seem a bit strange so please bear with me.
From Clash Of The Champions to Ring Of Honor nowadays, there's a tradition of other federations either competing directly with WrestleMania or trying to ride their coattails. So, I was wondering, in counterpoint to the all-time WrestleMania card you once did, what would be your all-time competing show?
A few rules:
--The wrestlers involved must have been active during the WrestleMania years but never wrestled at WrestleMania
--The wrestlers must have been stars in North America.
--Every wrestler can only be used once.
--It'd be a bit limiting to only use shows that occurred on WrestleMania weekend so since we're assuming we have access to a magical time machine to make this all possible, you cna include matches from any time during the year.
--Other than that, you can decide how many matches, how many titles, which titles, etc.
If that doesn't strike your interest, sorry to waste your time, but I'd be interested to see what you come up with!
I dunno, we’re eliminating a whole group of people who had great matches outside WM but competed in a few (or one) WMs (like Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, Vader, etc) so we’re really limiting ourselves out of the box. Obvious candidates for inclusion in our dream card:
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling - October 25 1986
- So this is the last rant on World Championship Wretling before 24/7 goes away, and in a sad bit of synchronicity, this is the show where we learn of Magnum TA's fate.
The Princess’ Smackdown Rant for April 17, 2009
NOT Live from Knoxville, Tennessee
Hosted by Jim Ross and Todd Grisham
Yes, I know you’re all shocked that I chose Smackdown over ECW, especially giving my love of a good match over a good speech…that and the desire to get as far away from the fake Russian disaster known as Vladimir Kozlov. Really he’s like Nikita Koloff without the charisma, talent, fan base and cool Communist singlet. Side note, I’ve only watched SmackDown on a handful of occasions because I’m usually doing date night with the King (not Jerry Lawler) or family stuff on Fridays. So most of my updates will happen Saturday morning while father and son are at Little League practice.
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling - October 18 1986
- So we're into the home stretch now for this show, as there's two left before Sasktel pulls the channel at the end of the month, and it's kind of fitting because this is getting close to the point where I originally started watching NWA wrestling back in the 80s anyway. For those keeping track of this sort of thing, all traces of "24/7" have now been excised from the channel, as everything is only branded as "WWE Classics on Demand". I'm stubborn, though, and I'll keep calling them 24/7 rants until we're done.
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling - September 27 1986
- Another short show this week. Luckily the Braves sucked ass in the 80s, so things will pick up again once we get to the post-season.
- Your hosts are Tony & David.
