You have to vote, by rule, but there's no rule saying you have to use all of your votes.

[The Canadian Content]

I'm not really up on current wrestling, and the little I know is main-roster WWE. My votes reflect that, since a lot of these cards are made up of talent I've never heard of and/or never seen.

Cub
I don't know the majority of your roster, so it's hard for me to imagine the matches.

Jos
I like the Severn/Lashley pairing. I don't know a lot of your roster, though.

SG
Really like the tag team battle royal. That's a helluva tag division you drafted.

Solly
Not surprisingly, I really like a lot of this card. Giant Eugene is a great callback joke; Studd/Elias is right up my alley, and splitting up some established tag teams gives you some high-quality singles matches (also, I like the Bundy/Blackman team); and that's a very strong main event.

Cletus
Perfect/Finlay, Race/Haku, and Andre/McIntyre are all great matches.

Sharky
A tournament, Miz/Neville, and Martel as a champion make this one of my top cards.

Leo
This card just missed getting my Powerball vote. I absolutely love the Flag Match, Russian Chain Match, and main event.

Sop
A lot I like here, including the Elimination Match, DDP/Bray, and the main event.

Dash
A short card with a lot going on. Balor/Owen is awesome, and I'd love to watch Cesaro/Yokozuna.

Matte
Good use of Sandow; such an underrated talent. Rude/Storm is fun. Great Survivor Series Match too.

Eric
I like Jericho/Ricochet, but not a lot else speaks to me here.

Liz
Dudleys/War Vikings and Alexander/Santana are the highlights for me here.

Dhruv
That's a huge main event. The buildup to it would be a lot of fun.

Here's who I voted for:

Solly (Powerball)
Leo
Sop
Dash
Sharky
Matte

Thanks. Alexander vs Santana is something I hesitated putting in. It's something I wish I could see.

You have to vote, by rule, but there's no rule saying you have to use all of your votes.

Showdown Details says: Here, you'll select 5 cards to vote for (each gets 1 point) plus a Powerball card (gets 2 points). Thus, you are selecting 6 cards overall. And the OP of this thread says: Remember, you vote for 6 cards in total (not your own).



I interpreted that as being required to vote for 6 cards. And I promise I'm not trying to be difficult here. I just want to make sure that the final ruling is that you don't have to vote for 6 different cards before I submit my votes.

[Mr. Dashbee]

I tried to keep my card simple (first round of a tournament, some tag team matches, and one stipulation match) and debated not even adding the 8th match--but it's short with a lot going on! (Kidding, Hodgey).

This vote was HARD. There were things I liked about each card, but in the end could only pick 6:

• Liz - You were in a tough spot having half of your roster drafted by someone else. I absolutely LOVE the two tag matches, and the main event is great.
• Cletus - Your roster and card are sneaky good, it shows your experience in the business. I don't love multi-person main events (irony coming in a moment), but that match would kick ass. I'd never have put this together, yet I think I'd love it. Almost gave it the Powerball.
• Hodgey - I always love the old school trip down memory lane. Almost lost me with some of the current-day match-ups that we could easily see next week on TV, but then I got The Pillage People, Law & Order, and a main event that I loved.
• Dev - As much as your roster is built for a one-on-one showdown main event, the talent and use of the talent won me over. I love the Dangerous Alliance, and I have to admit that your fed thread really helped (I like the simple format of it, one I might steal for a concept you and I have talked about)
• Eric - This feels like TNA/IMPACT Wrestling done right, which I would enjoy. Almost lost me with the reliance on AEW talent over others, but it made the Top 6 based on quality--plus some of my all-time-favorites in Joe, Nigel, and Brian Cage.
• Leo - Plain and simple, I LOVE Memphis booking.

As for the Powerball? Here's that irony in my not liking multi-person main events. Dev. It takes balls to do a 6-match card when everyone loves to do 10+, but your card (and development) will leave me wanting more.

There were some other really good ones (Solly, Matte, SG) and no one has a card that turned me off. Really good stuff from everyone.

The rest is the general process.

[Matte]

I saw the question asked and your answer to it, but wanted to confirm because it contradicts what you wrote in both voting threads. I didn't know if it could've been something you may have overlooked or forgot about. Thanks for the confirmation.



My votes are going to SG, Eric, and Dev.

SG: The bottom half of your card (from the main event up) is fantastic and competes with Eric's for having the most steadily good last five matches.

Eric: As usual, your card is right up my alley. It's something I would put together if I was better at managing when to use my talent. Also, a great women's division.

Dev: I like a good scramble match, dig AJ & Paige together, respect the new Dangerous Alliance you've built, and like that you kept the show length manageable. Several factors that form together into my Powerball vote.



Other cards:

Hodgey: Good main event and women's tag title match. Sasha/Victoria is good, too. The rest of the matches are ok, but most have at least one person that I don't care for in them. And I think we've seen Carlito/Morrison. I will say, though, all ofyour team names are great.

Cub: I respect that you branched out from the WWE bubble with your talent. Most of your matches are good, but other than Punk/KENTA and the main event (both awesome matches), nothing really hits my sweet spot.

Jos: I like that you went with a theme, and the main event is two thumbs up from me. After that, it falls off a little until WALTER/Shinsuke way near the beginning of the card. The tag team showcase could also be fun.

Solly: I try to never vote for cards with main events that we've already seen happen, but I can appreciate that you really went and put Woman in Benoit's corner. Warrior/Goldberg could be a spectacle, and Bryan/Dynamite is great. Otherwise, it's hit or miss. I do like Giant Eugene.

Cletus: Ok main event, but I would've preferred to see Hansen/Brody 1v1. AJ/Pillman would be fun.

Shark: Totally in on the main event and Miz/Neville. Other than that, decent stuff that doesn't quite light my fire.

Leo: Yes on Angle/Savage, and the 4-way women's title match would be great. The "Pirate Booty" name in the pre-show is good.

Dash: I recognize the main event as being something that will deliver, but doesn't have the same appeal to me as an Omega, Angle, Guerrero match would. I like teaming Tanaka & Awesome together. Kickoff match would be fun, and Balor/Owen could be match of the night early on.

Liz: Sting/Gargano is good. I automatically assume it's face vs. face, but then who turns on who!? After that, my favorite matches are the tag team championship round 1 matches. Metalik/Hardy could also be fun.

Dhruv: Yup, huge main event. Taker/Misawa is another big one for me. Machine Guns vs. London & Kendrick gets a thumbs up from me, and Daniels/Mysterio is a fun opener.

[Leo]

Hodgey – You always have great tag team names. I love the main event. I probably would have went Morrison vs. Ambrose for the IC Title. Orndorff vs. Regal is your sleeper. The pre-show is stacked.

Cub: I like how your titles have royal designations, kind of different. You have a handful of guys I’m not too familiar with. A lot of the card is people I know vs. people I don’t and that hurts it with me, but that’s me and nothing on you.

Jos: How you can win a match is interesting to throw in. I would take it your fed doesn’t have count outs or DQs? I’m down for your top three matches. I’m guessing I’m in the minority like Lashley vs. Severn.

*SG: The battle royal shows you have a hell of a tag division. I also like a battle royal if there is a reason and meaningful outcome to it, which yours has. Top three matches are killer. Very old school feel, of course, and I dig that.

Solly: RVD vs. Super Crazy ladder match, yes, but what are they ladder matching for? What’s at the top? Rousey vs. Taz will probably be better than it has any rights to be. Warrior vs. Goldberg will probably be amazingly bad, but in an entertaining way. An old school feel here, but way different than the feel SG has.

Cletus: McIntyre vs. Andre has me all kinds of intrigued. I would probably leave George Steele out of the main event, but that’s an interesting lineup for that. You’ve just got a lot of interesting matchups that have me intrigued. Styles vs. Pillman is the show stealer. Race vs. Haku happened, but in real life that match was pretty solid.

Sharky: I like that you have the seeds for the tournament and time limits for the matches. Hernandez vs. Crews, and the valets attached, feels like a sleeper. I don’t beat for Dunne and Ali like other people, so your main event loses me. I’ve got not problem with intergender matches, but Moon and Logan vs. Windham and DVE feels like a tremendous slaughter for the guys. Martel vs. Lee is interesting.

*Dev: Too many multi-man matches, but with that being said they all have a very cool and good mix of people. And, doing a shorter card with so many people per match helps. I love the Dangerous Alliance stable. Solid dark matches.

*Dash: Love the main event. I like your overall concept, there’s a certain structure to it. Balor vs. Hart is the show stealer.

Matte: Rude vs. Storm is intriguing. The main event is great. The opener has a unique dynamic. For some reason the show feels ‘heavy’ to me. Like there is too much going on, but great matchups overall.

*Eric: Vader vs. Cage is best of the card. Omega vs. Joe isn’t far behind though. Jericho vs. Richochet has a lot of potential. Maybe it was coming after Matte’s card, but this feels kind of breezy and simple, more fun.

**Liz: Sting vs. Gargano is money. I like the overall global feel to the show. Dillinger vs. Fenix is a sleeper. I want to see every match there and therefore, this is my powerball winner.

*Dhruv: Cena vs. Flair in their prime is all kinds of money. Usos vs. Angelico vs. Gordon has a lot of potential, could be underrated. Daniels vs. Mysterio is the best opener of everybody. My second favorite card.

Spoiler alert, dude. More cards coming.

[DevSop]

Hodgey: Love the two pre-show triple threats. What's Up Doc is a fun team name. Really solid women's division but not sure you have the depth for two titles. Great main event. Long card though.

Cub: Lots of new talent I'll have to check out. Punk/KENTA is phenomenal. Black/Okada might be even better. Depth issue for the women here as well. Card seems about the right length.

Jos: Not used to seeing WALTER's full name which confused me for a second, but his match would be really good. The Jr. Tag should steal the show. Hero/Callihan will be a good brawl. Don't like the MMA focus. Hate the opener. Riddle/Lesnar is interesting.

SG: Very old school NWA based which has a feeling of seen that before. Hate battle royals in showdowns because they're almost never that good. HATE that Tessa is just being used as a valet. Top matches are out of this world though.

Solly: Less old school WWF than usual which is nice. Rousey/Taz feels like a waste of both if that makes sense. Edge & Benoit would be fantastic as would Bryan & Dynamite. Goldberg & Warrior along with Enzo/Cass & Tank/Gang would be the opposite of fantastic.

Cletus: Mentioned my dislike of battle royals already. Styles and Pillman is clearly your best match. I know Andre has fans but that feels like a monumental waste of Drew. MVC & Gangstas in an ECW brawl would be good.

Sharky: Like the International Cup idea. Having just watched the Gino Viceland documentary, I wish he was in a better position. Dunne and Ali is something I hope we can actually see. Don't love the most weapons used as a gimmick.

Leo: I like the pre-show gimmick but feel those should be spread out over the card. Great main event. I want to say Rusev/Hogan has been done about 10 times in these drafts. Solid women's multi-way. Don't have much interest in Kaufman, Chyna, or Lawler.

Dash: I have a visceral disdain for Bret and don't care for his matches at all. Batista/Muertes in a Lucha Underground style brawl could actually work. Great tag matches. Less disdain for Owen so I don't feel as if Finn is being wasted like Muta and Cesaro.

Matte: Breeze & Dream is a solid matchup. Eliminators matchup has basically been done but it'll be good. Aries and Ziggler would be great. Survivor Series match works. Main event is awesome. Card might be a bit too championship heavy but it's really good from top to bottom. Not a match in and of itself that I dislike.

Eric: I'll keep it simple. I'm not sure if you know how to do a bad card. Not a lot of variety with match types here, but when it's good, there doesn't need to be.

Liz: Love the simple cards. Sting & Gargano might be two of my favorite wrestlers ever. Awesome tag division. I think the only match I don't like is the Fatal Fourway.

Dhruv: MCMG/Londrick is match of the card. But Usos/Angelico & Flip will give it a run. Mysterio & Undertaker are two of my least favorites in wrestling but they're being used okay here. Cena/Flair would be a great promo when both are on their game.

Matte, excellent point about face vs face..this is story telling (if I was any good at it) would come in handy as I was thinking heel Sting..dark Sting. I know it was brief but I rather enjoyed it.

[Road Warrior Shark]

So the last couple of days have suuuuucked. HEre's my quick and dirty votes, in no specific order

Dhruv: Flair v Cena and The Usos v Flip/Angelico seems like the show stealer, and then that Main Event, so simple yet it feels fresh. Cena needs a solid dance partner and can give you great matches. Put him with the unquestioned best ever? Gold baby, gold. Plus 16X vs 16X is a great story.

SG: Turning Magnum is fun - I've done it and it was a blast. He, like Hogan, was a face that wrestled as a heel so often. Steamboat could get the best out of him. I said it somewhere, but Ciampa is so out of place with the rest of your roster. He and Dusty is weird enough to get me to watch. The rest of the card feels like matches we've seen or could easily have seen, and might hurt down the road.

Cub: Punk/Kenta and Black/Okada are strong enough to boost you into my 6. I can't believe I'm voting for a card with Foley on it. Hate to ay it, but it'll be tough to make me do it again.

Matte: I got a huge kick out of the Golden Warriors. It tickled my fancy probably more than it should have. Cole/HBK is a killer ME - maybe my second favorite of the whole round. And Rude/Storm is sneaky good.

Leo: That's perfect use of Hogan and Reigns. Sherri is the type of heel Bayley needs to play off. Well done.

Fishy: I'm a sucker for new tag teams with great names. Great ME, and the women's ME is good for now, but I've got $1 (Canadian if you like) that wee see that match before WM somewhere.

So
Dhruv - 2
Leo
Fishy
Matte
Cub
SG


I like things elsewhere, but I'm tired, mentally frazzled, and still haven't updated the damn add drops. Maybe Saturday. Sorry kids.

Two notes here:

1. I'm assuming this is everyone on all the rosters at their absolute peak of their careers.

2. Much like Hodgey, I watch very little of the current product.

That said, let's get to this:

Hodgey- First of all, your thread is hilarious. I'm not a huge fan of Carlito but him/Ambrose/Piper and him/Morrison are both solid. I'm a Regal mark so I love him against Orndorff. Both your tag title matches would be entertaining as hell. I'm down with KO vs Eddie, but why is it Hell in a Cell on the first card? You're doing at least 3, build that shit up man.

Cub- I'm going to be honest, I don't know who a majority of these people are.

Jos- Not trying to be a dick here, but there's absolutely nothing here that would make me want to turn in for a second.

Sportsguy- Give this guy ALL the votes, ha.

Solly- You know I'm marking out for Bulldog/Storm and Bryan/Dynamite. Warrior/Goldberg intrigues me. As others have said, what exactly are RVD and Super Crazy fighting for in this ladder match?

Cletus- This might be my favorite card. I'd love to see Perfect/Finlay, MVC/Gangstas, Race/Haku, Styles/Pillman, and your main event.

Sharky- This is where my lack of knowledge considering the current product really hurts. Love Martel as a champion, but have no idea who Keith Lee is. No idea who either half of your main event are either.

Leo- Again, like with Hodgey, I love your thread. Even if I didn't your women's Fatal Fourway, Bayley/Sensational Sherri, the Flag Match and the Chain match all draw my attention. Not to mention, oh yeah, KURT ANGLE VS RANDY SAVAGE! as your main event.

Dev- The IC elimination match, the Dangerous Alliance 6 man tag, and your Main event are all awesome.

Dash- I think you're misusing Bad News Brown, but I am a fan of the rest of the card. I'm pretty much the exact opposite of Dev with regards to the Hart family so Owen/Balor and Bret/Muta both get thumbs up from me. And prime Steiners vs Awesome and Tanaka could steal the show.

Matte- Ultimate X, your IC match and your main event are enough to get a vote from me. Also love Eliminators/Flying Assassins (great tag name!)

Eric- I like Jericho/Ricochet, Melissa/Mickie and your elimination match.

Liz- Sting/Gargano is great but I think it's the only match on your card I'd go out of my way to see.

Dhruv- In their prime, uninjured Daniels/Mysterio would be a hell of a match. I'd love to see your Tag Title Match. Misawa/Taker is... uh......let's just say interesting. I'm not the world's biggest Cena fan but him against my favorite wrestler of all time? Why not.

It's actually hard to narrow this down to just 6, but here we go:

Leo
Dev
Dash
Matte
Hodgey
Powerball: Cletus

Thanks for the kind words. As for the Hell in a Cell on the first card...

Regal: I've got some general managing experience.

*Fine. You're hired...

Regal: Then let's begin. Kevin Owens will get a shot at revenge versus Eddie Guerrero for the craven attack by Latin Legends. And to ensure no interference, it will be a Hell in a Cell match!

[Sportsguy]

Uh....yeah. I said your thread was hilarious, I didn't say I actually you know, paid attention? Seriously, just missed that line.

Notes

• Jos did not vote, so he will be out after Round 1
• After conferring with a few folks (including Liz, his partner), I allowed Mayhem to vote. In the case of partners, we were only allowing one vote to prevent any form of collusion/gaming the system. He cannot vote for Liz.

[L!zz~]

So, how are Mayhem's votes counted with mine? Should only one of us submit votes now?

His votes are totally separate, as of he never participated. But since he drafted about 1/3 of your roster, he can't vote for you.

[MayhemNX]

For anyone interested, the original concept Lizz and I were going to go for was going to be blind submissions. Meaning we'd each own half the roster, come up with a format for the event (? v. ? for the world title) then we'd each submit half the participants without knowing who the other would have submitted. I thought it would've led to some interesting match-ups.
