[glow=red,2,300]Week 24[/glow]
"Surrender You Don't" ~Yoda

Welcome to the 12-Pack voting thread. If you want/need the full run down, check out any of the old voting threads, drop me a PM or ask your question in here and any of us will be glad to answer.

Eligibility Info
Ranking Period: September 8 - September 14
WWE: RAW, ECW, Smackdown!
TNA: Impact, No Surrender PPV

Plus any indy or international shows and new online content

What To Do?
-Rate your Top 6 performers of the past week (Monday through Sunday)
-Indicate your #1 brand for the past week
-Please provide comments for your rankings, they are in fashion!

Basic Rules
-Tag teams can be together, even if they are short term/one time deal
-Opponents, although working together in reality, cannot be considered together
-2-way ties are okay at any ranking, just eliminate the next spot (ex: 2 way tie for first place means no second place person)
-3 way ties for 5th place are also kosher, as is a 2-way tie for 6th play (this is the only way to actually rank 7 talents instead of 6)
-Please limit “statement votes” to one per week (ex: WWE creative, the RickRoll caller, etc.)
-Voting is open until 12 midnight EST Wednesday, with results posted during that night.

Have at it!

[Fire-Babe]

1. Jericho. And no, not because I got to see him in three segments on Raw, two of which involved shirtlessness. (Well...okay, maybe just a little bit.)

2. Matt Striker. Freakin' awesome on the announce table.

3, 4. Evan Bourne - John Morrison - a tie for wrestling two great matches back to back, sorta.

5. Charlie Haas -- doing what it takes to keep the job and having fun doing it, apparently.

6. The Colon brothers. I liked their opening debut together (I think it was their opening), although I wonder how long before they have to change their names due to unfortunate mispronunciations.

Brand: ECW. yes, I know, this week was pretty good. And, Matt Striker!

DHM: JBL. Go away. Now.

[Mr. Dashbee]

Big week...

1. Chris Jericho - Jericho is just so damn impressive right now. While it seemed hasty, giving him the belt (and doing it in a way that didn't hurt Punk) was a wise move.

2. Bryan Danielson - American Dragon won the GHC Junior Heavyweight Title, one of the most well respect junior titles in the world. He did it in front of a huge crowd in Japan on a ROH show in what was described as a big, emotional deal.

3. The Beautiful People - They are still one of my favorite parts of TNA, and all of wrestling. The deserve to get ranked every week.

4. Samoa Joe - Everytime he defends against an "established star", I fear that Joe will lose. And he keeps winning.

5. Sheik Abdul Bashir - Horrible gimmick aside, the man should get praised. I hope he outlasts the gimmick and has a good, long run in TNA.

6. JT Lighting - This is the Firestorm Pro Wrestling guy who shot on Jake Roberts, and the video is making the rounds. I've read several statements and watched the video, and I buy this guy's side of the story ofer Jake & his personal assistant's.

Brand - ROH - lots of quality matches in Japan, plus the big title change.

HM -
Charlie Haas - stupid drunk Jake Roberts got you bumped, Chuck.

DHM -
JBL - I don't think he's believable anymore, because I think he buys into his own kayfabed hype.
AJ vs. Trigg booking - seriously, this was stupid. I know it's a legit ending to an MMA match, but this is scripted wrestling, and no one is trying to prove otherwise. At least give it a finish.

Here is the JT Lightning/Jake Roberts video:

[bdbdbd]

6. Charlie Haas - For the usual reasons

5. The Beautiful People - It didn't feel right enjoying Robert Roode, and it doesn't feel right enjoying Cute Kip, but there we are.

4. Awesome Kong - I don't think she's ever not entertained.

3. Evan Bourne - He's a lot of wow. I can't believe they let him and Rey go 6 minutes against Miz & Morrison on Monday.

2. Chris Jericho - Good enough kick off to his title run, perhaps he'll get a real match tonight though.

1. Samoa JOE - JOE! JOE! JOE! He actually did a good job of furthering the "obsessed with Sting" angle without letting the 4-way slide. The 3-jobber matches were good on Impact, and he was great at the PPV.

Brand[/i]: ECW - wait, what? There wasn't a whole lot that stuck out on it since it's a lot of "underneath" type stuff, but it was about 45 minutes of solid wrestling (and 15 minutes of recap and promo).

[Fire-Babe]

You know, I almost voted ECW brand also....

[bdbdbd]

You didn't vote for any brand. You can still do it. We can shake up the world!

[Fire-Babe]

fixed!! (for some reason I thought I had...)

[Batman]

1) Sonjay Dutt & 2) Jay Lethal - Lame story but impressive match. Also, OUCH that must have hurt.

3) The Brian Kendrick - In the main event once again, and showing the smarts he always talks about.

4) Charlie Haas - Mamajawanaextreme.COM!!

5) Mysterio & Bourne) - A perfect pairing on paper that did not disappoint.

6) Jericho - Great promo. Also, OUCH that must have hurt.


Best Show) Kind of an under-whelming week. Raw, I guess.

[Ultimatejobber]

6. Bryan Danielson: Landmark win for his career.

5. Sonjay Dutt: He makes the list for winning an exciting match, he is placed at #5 because the angle is lame and still going.

4. Jeff Jarrett: I have always loved JJ, and I am just happy to have him back, especially considering all that he has been through.

3. Randy Orton: He is shaping the landscape for Raw without being in a match. I am ready for him to return to the ring and take on Punk.

2. Samoa Joe for retaining his title and building to his big match with Sting at the next PPV.

1. Chris Jericho: I am officially moving Jericho to the top heel in the WWE over Edge. He now holds my attention when he is on the screen.

Brand: TNA by virtue of its PPV weekend.

[wld]

1.) Chris Jericho – This is what his Undisputed Title reign should have been.
2.) Samoa Joe – He’s awesome. I just wish TNA would let him be awesome more often..
3.) The Brian Kendrick – I was afraid he’d get buried after the scramble – I’m glad I was wrong so far.
4.) Awesome Kong – She manages to be a monster without making her matches seem like foregone conclusions.
5.) Charlie Haas – talk about taking a stupid gimmick and making it great…
6.) Sting – I really like the way he’s riding the fence – he’s acting like a heel, but his reasoning makes sense and is getting cheers.

Brand: TNA (I didn't see ECW)

[DevSop]

1) Chris Jericho
2) Samoa Joe
3) Bryan Danielson
4) Awesome Kong
5) Taylor Wilde
6) Sonjay Dutt
6) Evan Bourne

Damn! I forgot since I've been so busy writing up answers to the Q&A thread. My 24 week streak is unbroken...

6. The Beautiful People : Strong week as allways from these two. Even gay-ass Kute Kip is making me laugh now. These two chicks are golden. I'd love to see Love get extra dominant and "manage" / dominate a man wrestler. Or was that just my dream last night?

5. Somoa Joe : Awesome match. Please feed Joe a CM Punk / Danielson type opponent so we can see Joe go. I miss Joe the Destoyer. No talk, just bloody towel. Sign Jay Briscoe. Joe would be even more over. He shows these little nuggets instead of a balls-to-the-wall match.

4. Shiek Bashir : They say all great gimmicks come from a point of truth, and I suspect this gimmick does as well. To me, it's not as much about the "I'm a foreigner - so I'm a heel", it's "I got dicked over, so now I'm doing the dicking". He keeps wrestling like this and he'll get over, as long as he doesn;t bring a terror cell down to the ring

2 (Tied). Jay Lethal & Sonjay Dutt. Gay feud. Awesome match. 'Nuff said.

and This Week's Number 1 with a bullet...

Jericho : Way to elevate Punk while looking like a million bucks. He deserves it, I may start watching Raw again to see him now...



Brand 'O' the Week: TNA. iMPACT! was good, and the PPV was awesome...

[Mr. Dashbee]

I'm going to continue to hold out to tomorrow, just in case any more regulars stop by.

[Lucky]

I'm REALLY not into wrestling at the moment but I guess I'll throw together a ballot of what I remember entertaining me.

6) The Beautiful People - I don't know, but I'm sure they amused me a little. Velvet Sky looked amazing as usual or something. I'm at a loss to come up with 5 performers who entertained me so they shall be my default.

5) Curry Man - He amused me being a perv.

4) Rey Mysterio & Evan Bourne - That match was last week, right?

3) Randy Orton - I don't know what to say. I like him when he's just a douchebag who isn't being booked as a super genius or the greatest wrestler in the world. He's an arrogant asshole and that's it. It works for me.

2) Jay Lethal - Stick 2 X guys who have worked together for years in an X match and I guess you can salvage a horrible story.

1) Sonjay Dutt - Winning side of the match and I don't know what it is but I kind of took him seriously for the first time in his career this week. The change in outfit, the heel stuff. I hate the angle but in the process Dutt has gotten a bit more interesting.


If Sonjay Dutt is my #1 THAT should show you what kind of a week it was and how out of it I am.

Brand: TNA, I guess. I failed to watch SD, ECW is about the most boring show ever to me at this stage, and even the stuff on RAW that people love (Jericho, Santino, Haas) just aren't clicking with me. TNA isn't clicking with me right now either but with the PPV its probably a safe bet they gave me more this week.

[Mr. Dashbee]

I didn't get online but for a few minutes yesterday. Results coming later tonight!
