Two really equal teams to me. Parts I like and parts I don't, but Pope pushes it over the top for the Bullpen even though I HATE the name.

I'm abstaining. This would be like making me pick favorites between my two kids.

Bullpen

[Sportsguy]

I HATE voting against Flair, but the Bullpen is a slightly better team

[Deadly]

The Bullpen.

You don't like the Brahma Bull reference?

At least it's miles ahead of Team 1, Team 2, and Team 3.

[Lucky]

I still don't really GET the Bull reference. Is it JUST the "Bull" part?

Horsemen get this one for me. Love Pope and am ok/like the rest but love Flair/Beer Money/Awesome.

Yes, it's the Bull part. Rock was known as the Brahma Bull, and it's his group of guys. Hence it's the Bullpen.

But see, a "bullpen" has nothing to do with a bull. Its a detention center for prisoners or a waiting area as it is most commonly used in baseball or a confined amount of office space where many people work such at a newspaper.

A "bull's pen" exists but its almost always meant to denote a place where a bull is being held in captivity before its chased or hunted for sport or flat out slaughtered.

And to the best of my knowledge if you stick 5 bulls together they'd just kill each other or something. You put one bull in a pen, not 5.

And it seems oddly completely unconnected to the fact that you have 5 African-Americans together, including two who were together an entirely African-American group.

It just doesn't work for me at all.
























This post was only half serious. It was however, half serious.

Whatever, Lucky. Always bet on black.

and it does actually make sense to me. Rock, Pope, and MVP - ridiculously obnoxious guys who have shown to also be team players at times. Skipper the high flyer who will take one for the team, and Ron Simmons AKA bad-ass motherfucker.

Stupid name? I can live with that. It's a good team, IMO

I'll admit, this is a tough one, because I like this Horsemen, even though I can't see eye to eye with Awesome in this for whatever reason.

[Lucky]

Yeah, its just the name that doesn't work for me. Hell, with Pope, MVP, and Skipper you have three guys who have essentially worked the "arrogant black athlete" gimmick (along with MVP's obvious gimmick you have Skipper as a former football player and Pope as a former boxer). Then you have two All American college football players rounding it out? That team works for me in a lot of ways. Just not the name.

I just think I like the Horsemen more. And I still say Awesome's a perfect fit for the Horsemen.

Christ, Lucky! It's fucking pro wrestling. It's not supposed to make sense. Just accept the team and go with it.

Because he's taller than you?

or the WWE.

Lucky's right, it should be the Bull Pen. It would completely make sense then.

I love Flair and Awesome, but I despise Roode and I am utterly apathetic towards Jr. Bull Pen.
