If ANYBODY votes for Miz and Morrison, and I find out who it is, they shall be banned.

[Eric O'Mac]

Shit.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

I actually don't like the Steiners very much and I do like Miz/Morrison. But I still voted for the Steiners because even if I'm not a fan I can recognize that they were a great team. They have my vote at least for this round.

I swear I was just going to type that.

[punk/core]

I could justify voting Miz/Morrison over the Steiners about a zillion times more than voting Angle/Benoit over the Outlaws.

[DevSop]

I actually agree with Punk here...not on the Miz/Morrison point but the Outlaws point. Say what you want about BG & Billy now, but back when they were feuding with Foley & Funk, the loose alliance with HBK & HHH's DX leading into the complete joining of HHH's DX. There was not a hotter and more popular team than the NAO. There wasn't a nerdy wrestling fan who at one point didn't use the, "Oh you didn't know...your ass better call somebody" line.

The Steiners at the time of that photo were the best thing going, even better than The Road Warriors. Then Scott found Beniot's doctor. I'm shocked Scott hasn't killed an entire post office full of people.

Had I not already exalted AA this hour for the TCH promo, I would've exalted him here.

[Courtney]

I will tell you exactly why I voted for the Steiners. Not only were they a great team, but I still remember watching Mike Mizanan on his original Real World season. I can't separate the two. It's still very hard for me to take him seriously as a bonafide WWE Superstar.

I do give him kudos though because when he was on RW he always talked about how he wanted to become a wrestler and he realized his dream. Good job Miz.

[salmonjunkie]

who would've known back then that between Rick and Scott that SCOTT would be the crazy weird one?

[Tommy]

Can't agree with you there:

Moonman Steiner is a lot more sane than Dog-faced Gremlin Steiner

[Moreofabreadguyanyway]

This result makes me very happy. I've never liked Rick Steiner and there's been periods of time where I've hated Scott, but I'm just really annoyed from some weird reason about how beloved Miz & Morrison are starting to become. It's like everyone expected that they would suck as a team and be really bland and then when the didn't suck and occasionally had some good matches and promos everyone was so surprised that they heaped a bunch of unnecessary praise on them and the praise built up to an undeserved admiration. They're good but I still say they aren't one of the top 5 teams in wrestling today. Hell, I'm already more impressed with Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase Jr.

[Attitude Adjuster]

The love that Miz and Morrison are getting just proves how piss-poor the tag team ranks are today. In the 80s, Miz and Morrison would be jobbers to the stars, maybe a step above the Mulkeys or the Ding Dongs. I could name 25 teams from the NWA from 1980 to 1985 that were better than Miz and Morrison. But in today's day and age, they're good. And that's just wrong.

[Lucky]

Yeah, it seems like WWE fans today just react to anything resembling a team. HIGHLANDERS! CRYME TYME! BISCUITS AND GRAVY! Unless they're just utterly boring and get nothing resembling attention WWE fans seem to latch onto any tag team that presents itself with anything remotely resembling an amusing gimmick or some level of talent. Presumably because WWE has made us so desperate for tag teams. And then an ok team like Miz & Morrisson who really are nothing special in the ring and not even in the top 10 at what they do characterwise in their own company just get gushed over

I think it happens up and down the WWE card, really. I think fans are so desperate for some mid/lower card quality in WWE that we just go crazy over anything that's entertaining. Kennedy, Punk, Santino. Not to say these guys aren't entertaining but the hype never seemed to quite match what they were doing. Santino tosses around a few funny one-liners with a silly accent and he's the "best thing in wrestling."

M&M just seem to be products of this. They're kind of amusing when they're allowed to speak, and they're pretty decent in the ring. They can have a very good match with a pair of nice opponents. But how the fuck they got on this showdown I have no idea and each week in the 12 Pack I'm amazed by how they can be the highlight of so many people's weeks.

I think Dibiase and Rhodes are getting a little of it too now. They show some real promise and have done well with their limited opportunities, but they've done next to nothing. And yet there are already people just going crazy over them. People seem to freak out over potential these days.

[salmonjunkie]

none of you are retarded. At least not here.

[punk/core]

I'm so totally tempted to vote for Miz/Morrison just to be a contrary bastard.

Please let the Steiners have their shutout.

Even the freakin Road Warriors didn't get their shutout.

[punk/core]

I honestly didn't even know it was a shut out, since I can't even see the fucking results. But Mike's first post in this thread reminded me of being a kid and doing something just because my mom told me not to.

[Byrntrigan]

All the results are shown after voting unless I messed this poll up. All of them should show after you vote

Then what's the point of voting? I voted Mizorr before I read this edict knowing they were going to be crushed, so ban away, I guess. Next time let's just give automatic advances to the top four teams or so and make this Showdown stuff over in a weak. Not like I'm voting for a made up internet team or anything.
