What a long strage journey we've had together. Two months of fun, frivolity and forgetting about Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart.

D'oh!

Well, here's the bracket so we can all see the journey that these two finalists took to get here.




Edge & Christian



Edge & Christian beat: Doom, Money, INC., The Fabulous Freebirds and The Dudley Boyz.











versus


The Hart Foundation



The Hart Foundation beat: The Natural Disasters, Triple xXx, The World's Greatest Tag Team and The Road Warriors












Please feel free to post youtubes of matches as well as your arguments for or against the team of your choice! Polls will lock approximately in 1 week at midnight.

This has been a favorable showdown for my tastes. These teams are 1 & 2 on my list. I voted for Edge & Christian. I believe they were 11 time tag champs. They were part of the memorable TLC series of matches, had the very entertaining 5 second poses my favorites being Jug Band and the Scott Norwood field goal, and what put them over the top they had kazoo theme music.

[Mikey]

I always liked "The Choke," which is extra funny in hindsight considering what the Pacers ended up becoming infamous for.

As far as the showdown goes... I don't recall ever marking out for Edge & Christian the way I did for the Hart Foundation. However, Bret and Anvil never made me piss my pants laughing.

The tiebreaker for me here is the music. The original Hart Foundation may be my favorite theme music ever.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

But did the Harts ever play their music on kazoos?

[The Jewish Cunthead]

I like the highlighted bracket - nice touch Byrne.

I haven't decided yet but I know I won't be pissed with whoever wins.

[Byrntrigan]

Thanks Solly. I tried to do stuff that we hadn't seen on the showdowns before to make it more fun / easier to follow.

Thanks for noticing...

[Eric O'Mac]

For clarification, Edge and Christian as a team were only 7 time tag team champions - if you count Edge with a differnt partner and Christian with a different partner, you may be able to get up to 12 or 13, but as a team, they were only 7 time tag champs, which, at the time at least, were the most in WWF/E history.

I don't know who to vote for. Huge fan of both.

[Byrntrigan]

Plus, do Edge & Christian have a FUCKING Hockey team named after their gimmick?

Na uh Potsie...

Do they give away free pillows and blankets to the games? They clearly play the Neutral Zone Trap.

[salmonjunkie]

[DevSop]

THE DEVILS DID NOT INVENT THE TRAP!!!


Wait, what are we talking about?

I retract my statement.

Jackass.

I only let you do that ONE time, because Moose pulled out at the last second on you...

[Eric O'Mac]

can you truly love a man who doesn't even rip me off correctly?

[Lucky]

Before this ends I want to give it up to Byrne for running things and trying some new things. The showdown seemed kinda limited in talking but I have a theory on that. I just think we're all too damn respectful of tag teams. There didn't seem to be too many fights. Even the ones that existed were kinda forced between me and one of the old guys or something where we seemed to just be making stuff up. The common theme seemed to be a basic idea of "I voted for _____ but I won't be mad if _____ wins." Or "Damn! I love both teams!" Very few "___ of you are idiot" situations in this showdown, it seemed. Which means way less arguments and thus way less conversation.

Or maybe there wasn't less conversation because the truth is I've been kind of out of it with this place since the Draft ended.

[Mikey]

No, there was less conversation. MUCH less.

But there's something to the whole tag team respect thing. While I'm disappointed that Arn & Tully or the Midnight Express aren't in the final as they should be, the Harts vs. E&C is a damn fine final. There were probably a dozen teams out of this bracket that could've won the thing and I wouldn't have had a complaint. That's how strong the field was.

[DevSop]

Fuck you Lucky...you're a fucking idiot.

[salmonjunkie]

Well nothing reached Owen > Sting proportions, that's for sure.

[Moosehead Jack]

The Chickenshit Heels were fucking robbed

[bdbdbd]

The Freebirds is who was robbed. And I hold you all responsible. Is it because Michael Hayes is black?
