First off, thanks to everyone for making this showdown (from what I've been told) the most participated Showdown ever from the nomination perspective.

As I stated in the nom thread, I want to be as open and honest as possible, so here is the final ballot tabulation.

Scanning the 'others recieveing votes section.. I was stunned to see...

Team Aquafina 9

Thanks pahdnah'

[Byrntrigan]

Thanks to TexShark I've fixed a couple little issues. The spreadsheet is fixed now. If the statheads want to mess with the data, it's there.

[Road Warrior Shark]

And for those who are interested, It looks like (depending on how seeding ties are broken) TCH draws either the APA or Foley/Rock

Sorry guys, I don't think you win either matchup

[Mikey]

Holy shit though.... that's a NINE SEED!!

[Byrntrigan]

Yeah. Those damn TCH's did quite well for themselves...

Also, brackets up for people to peruse.

Should be a good one...

[Lucky]

Harlem Heat are 2 seeds and they drew D fucking X? That's just wrong. I suspect I'm gonna be pretty annoyed early into this.

I got 2 questions about the players.
1) Who the hell are the High Flyers?
2) If Kerry and Kevin Von Erich are on one side of the bracket who are The Von Erichs? I mean, I know there were at least 4 of them so I'm not doubting its 2 teams, but who?

Courtney will need to answer this as she was rge main supporters...

Perhaps they are: The High Flyers (Greg Gagne and "Jumpin" Jim Brunzell)

[DevSop]

The High Flyers, if memory is serving me correctly, are Jim Brunzell of Killer B's fame and Greg Gagne of having a famous father nepotism fame.

The alive ones?

[Lucky]

There are live ones?

[Byrntrigan]

Lou -

as the reason this team is in - please define whom the Von Erichs are please...

[Lou]

When I nominated the Von Erichs I did it as any combination of David, Kevin or Kerry. Kinda like a Freebirds thing. I didn't see that there was another nomination for Kevin and Kerry. Feel free to delete it and add the next team. My feelings won't be hurt and I don't think they'd stand much of a chance against The Outsiders in this showdown anyway.

Ok. Thanks for the clarification. I'll have to rework the tabulation...

[Attitude Adjuster]

The High Flyers are Greg Gagne and Jim Brunzell, the AWA tag team champions. For the time and the federation, they were pretty over and decently talented.

I'll save The Chickenshit Heels info for the first round, but they have a secret weapon in their first round matchup.

There's only one live one left.

She has a kid I think.... ;D

[DevSop]

Is the secret weapon that The APA suck?

Not so secret AA.

[creepy]

I remember watching "cousin" Lance Von Erich wrestle in a high school gym in Frisco TX 20 some-odd years ago. I had no idea at the time that they would lie about that sort of thing.

[Byrntrigan]

Fixed the bracket and created the run-off for 64th seed due to the Von Erich Fiasco of '08...

I certainly hope its the last Scion. I'm fuckin' sick of those awful blocky cube things being on the road.

[Byrntrigan]

God damn you're on a roll the last couple of days!

EXALT!

[Road Warrior Shark]

Sorry I didnt catch the Von Erichs earlier .... you'd think i would have noticed them before the rockers.. being a Texan and all........

[Byrntrigan]

Nah, don't worry about it Tex. It was only like 30 minutes of work to fix, so no biggie...

Thanks for the help looking over it though...
