Sorry for the confusion. I fucked up the count on the first attempted tiebreak. We need 2 of these 4 teams to advance. Pick the two you want to see make it to Round 2.

United Nations
Davey Boy Smith
Tito Santana
Finlay
Kofi Kingston
Tajiri

TCB
Kurt Angle
Tanaka
Tiger Mask
Bobby Lashley
Antonio Inoki

The New Horsemen
Ric Flair
James Storm
Robert Roode
Ted Dibiase, Jr.
Mike Awesome

Team A.S.S.
Goldberg
Ultimate Warrior
Scott Steiner
Rick Steiner
Kerry Von Erich

Wow. This seems like a runaway but I still don't understand the appeal of Team ASS nor do I really care of the United Nations lineups (I mean, is Tito Santana really the best American you could come up with?). So I guess I'm wasting a vote on the Horsemen and then... I dunno.

[DevSop]

Only the Horsemen, the rest kinda suck.

[Pun]

The New Horsemen are getting beat by these fucktards? I'll be the first to admit that Mike Awesome in the group brings it down a bit, but it's still a shit ton better than the others. Each team might have one or two guys that can go, but if you look at The New Horsemen as a whole, you have a team that is miles ahead of any of the others. I mean fuck! Their getting beat by a team with Goldberg and Warrior? (I won't bring up the Steiners, because they could go in their day.)

Fuck all this noise! I'm calling bullshit on this whole damn Showdown!

[Byrntrigan]

I believe the word you are looking for is...



SHAM~!

[Lucky]

I actually think Awesome is a very natural fit in the Horsemen and was originally in my recreated Horsemen in the first Wrestling Draft. He's a very natural "enforcer" who fits the mold very well, IMO. Dibiase's still the one that feels like the weak link to me, but not particularly "unnatural" in this role.

Isn't Tito representing Mexico?

[Lucky]

Maybe, but he was born in Texas and lives in New Jersey so if so that's just another reason for me to vote against them. Screw fake foreigners.

Is Mexico part of the UN?

Even the UN needs landscapers

That would assume they're on the official payroll, though.

[Mr. Dashbee]

Living in a state that borders Mexico, I can tell you that I've heard of plenty of great landscapers that aren't on the "official payroll." They do great work, just has to be for cash. No idea why, I'm sure they're here legally and have all the necessary paperwork.

Of course they are. And all the guys that sit outside of Home Depots/Lowe's are unionized as well.

Si, the "La Familia Union".

The worker gets to take the pay under the table and not get taxed on it. The employer bills it somewhere else and avoids paying taxes on their employee or things like health insurance.

In my experience both as a a customer and employee lots of legitimate white landscapers or manual laborors like working in cash and will even offer discounts or bonuses to fudge the books.

[Mr. Dashbee]

You realize I was kidding, right Lucky?

[Deleted]

C'mon, this is Lucky we're talking about. He's not familiar with sarcasm.

[Lucky]

Honestly? I didn't read it as sarcasm and part of that can be pointed to the fact that I was posting on my iPod Touch while waiting for an appointment. Part of that is because it still kind of reads like a legitimate point to me now as there ARE legal folks who work off the books in landscaping. But then Baron and Gator made usual jokes and I guess it all blurred for me. Ah well.

Regardless of missed sarcasm, this is a good point. I never even considered that.

And they're probably not ALL Mexican.

United Nations and New Horsemen advance. I'll get the Round Two matches up at some point today.
