[Doug]

Two guys running one night tournaments. In the end, I applaud Gator for trying something different, but his feels like too much wrestling for one show, so Beerko is getting my vote.

[Sportsguy]

Punk/Brown and Punk/Sting barely swings my vote to Beerko

[The Canadian Content]

I agree with Dougie. Too many matches on Gator's card, even with the 10-minute time limit. Also, too many "filler" matches.

Also, I like Punk vs Sting a lot.

Voting Beerko

[Matte]

BeerKo.

[Chris Eco]

I'm kind of digging Gator's balls-to-the-wall approach (don't like most, but Helms/George, Dragon/Daivari, Chono/Hassan, and Sheik/Roberts all stick), even as I debate whether I'd watch the whole show--the entire tournament is really the first card, not just these 16 matches?

If so, I assume a lot of the 10 minute matches end in draws to make the tournament end faster. Either way, I'd love to know what match ups follow. If no one got knocked out, I assume Round 2 is:

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin -vs- Iron Sheik

Andre The Giant -vs- Earthquake

Jake "The Snake" Roberts -vs- Antonio Inoki

Frankie Kazarian -vs- Shane Helms

Booker T -vs- Masahiro Chono

Ultimo Dragon -vs- Kerry Von Erich

Randy Orton -vs- Abyss (or maybe Abdullah)

Bruno Sammartino -vs- Lou Thesz

...which is a decent amount of awesome. Not sure where it would go beyond it, and I don't know if I want to see too many of these guys going through their fifth match of the night, but some of these look great.

EDIT: And to the less-controversial BeerKo card--kind of like the five-way, definitely like Brown/Kane, Punk/Sting would be good even if match #3, and I might like Ambrose/Sting even more. Nothing this round of the tag tournament is winning me though.

Curious to hear Gator chime in on logistics.

Ouch... I was expecting to lose this one, but I'm being raped Gullet-style. I guess 5-hours of wrestling is likely too much for most. I thought I tried to mix in some "fun" matches early on at least. Oh well, I guess I should have made more evident what the subsequent matchups would look like.

I was planning to put up a bracket for the results, but neither of the programs I tried would let me use byes, so here's the breakdown:

Round 1 (regular matches, 10min limit)
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin over The Missing Link
Iron Sheik over Razor Ramon Hard Gay
Andre The Giant over Santino Marella
DRAW Earthquake & Eric Young
Jake "The Snake" Roberts over The Original Sheik
Antonio Inoki over Konnan
Shane Helms over Gorgeous George
Frankie Kazarian over Typhoon
Booker T over Kenzo Suzuki
Masahiro Chono over Muhammad Hassan
Ultimo Dragon over Shawn Daivari
Kerry Von Erich over Stevie Ray
Randy Orton over Hiroshi Hase
DRAW Abyss & Abdullah The Butcher
Bruno Sammartino over Dan Severn
Lou Thesz over "Wildfire" Tommy Rich

Round 2 (pinfalls only, 10min limit)
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin over The Iron Sheik
Andre The Giant BYE
Jake "The Snake" Roberts over Antonio Inoki
Shane Helms over Frankie Kazarian
Booker T over Masahiro Chono
DRAW Ultimo Dragon & Kerry Von Erich
Randy Orton BYE
DRAW Bruno Sammartino & Lou Thesz

Round 3 (submissions only, 10min limit)
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin over Andre The Giant
Jake "The Snake" Roberts over Shane Helms
Booker T BYE
Randy Orton BYE

Semis: Pin + Submit matches (No DQ, No Countout)
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin over Jake "The Snake" Roberts
Booker T over Randy Orton

Finals: Ladder Match
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin over Booker T


To appease many, I was planning to limit Orton's matches with 2 consecutive byes. And as you can see, Austin was set to have a monster run through some very very stiff competition in Missing Link, Iron Sheik, Andre, Jake Roberts, and Booker T.

On a side note: who voted for me? Thanks to whomever it was.

[Deadly]

Sorry Gator, but the Punk/Sting match sways it for me. I really like your concept, though.

[Deleted]

No apologies necessary. I'm fully aware that I really don't have anything that can rival Punk/Sting on this card. (Well, aside from the obvious Kaufman/Gowen and Bonaduce/Diamond matches. )

[Carlitos Coconut]

In all seriousness, Andy Kaufmann vs. Zack Gowen is enough to sway me in any matchup. I would pay good money for that. Voting for Gator

[Demko]

You mean I might finally make it out of Round 1 of one of these things?! BB, you're my hero!

I put a *LOT* of thought into the matchups for the 1-night tournament. I really liked the Sting/Ambrose matchup, Kane/Brown seems like it would be a HELLUVA big-man match, and Punk/Brown would be interesting to watch.

I'll let BB determine our results, since I wrote the entire card when he was too drunk to form proper sentences. I got this message at 4am on July 5th: "If u cab craft a card for our first round, I appreciate....Too hammered to. Create a card."

[Road Warrior Shark]

To be fair, Demko, these first three rounds are round-robin. No one is eliminated until after round 3.

But way to go!

[Road Warrior Shark]

Gonna have to go with BeerKo. I liked some of Gator's drafting idea with Snakes, Forces of Nature, but a bland tourney? feels like a disappointment. Plus, the Diamond/Bonaduce thing is a turn off

Punk Sting is obviously awesome, but I think Kronik/Road Warriors would be brutally fun as well.

[Andy]

Love Gator's announce team.

I was planning ahead for future cards, actually. One of these ideas is likely to pan out in Rd 2, and the other in Rd 3.

I actually went back to check my text messages on that one. Cheeky.


YES! Card results to be released today!!!

WAR ON THE SHORE: RESULTS!!!!!

Mike Adamle: Greetings, fans, we had one heck of an amazing event last Wednesday, er, Thursday at the Club La Vela! Let's get to the recap!

RAVEN vs SINN BOWDEE vs DELIRIOUS
In the opening Triple Threat Match, Raven vs Sinn Bowdee vs Delirious! Raven won via pinfall after a Evenflow DDT to Sinn Bowdee at the 6:25 mark of the match. Raven then slid out of the ring post match, and delivered a cryptic message while leaning against the fallen body of Sinn Bowdee, still out from the Evenflow.

Raven: "And Jesus spoke to Peter, 'You are my flock, and I will build my church upon you.'"

BUZZ SAWYER vs KEVIN SULLIVAN

Kevin Sullivan defeats Buzz Sawyer with the Double Foot Stomp from the Top Rope at 3:45

5 WAY DANCE FOR THE CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE!:
TAKA MICHINOKU v JUVENTUD GUERRERA v ULTRAMANTIS BLACK vs X-PAC v CIMA

This high flying match was a intense, insane match that featured tons of near falls, spectacular high risk offense, top rope maneuvers, but in the end two wrestlers were in the ring at the end. It looked as if X-Pac would become the first GCCW Cruiserweight Champ, but that was not to be! As X-Pac taunted the crowd and his foe with his patented Bronco Buster, Ultramantis Black lay prone with his head on the bottom turnbuckle! As X-Pac glided his crotch through the air, UltraMantis Black quickly put both his feet up to deflect the oncoming crotch!!! A stunned X-Pac writhed on the mat with intense pain in his man region! UltraMantis Black quickly cleared the cobwebs, hit his finisher Cosmic Doom on X-Pac for the 3 count before CIMA and TAKA could break up the count!!! WINNER, AND NEW GCCW CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION, ULTRAMANTIS BLACK!!!! 10:56

THE GCCW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT: ROUND 1!

Public Enemy defeated Scott Norton and Tomko

The Outsiders defeated Ludvig Borga and The Berserker

The Dray of Squirrels kept Sid occupied until the Ref's 10 Count! It was revealed that Marvel Comic's Squirrel Girl was sitting front row for the event!!!

Championship title match:
CM Punk v Sting
The GCCW would have been proud to proclaim either man our first World Champ, and at the 13 minute mark, when both men had pulled out all the stops from their repertoire, the lights went down! And when they came back up, both men were down on the canvas and RAVEN stood above them!!!

Raven: There will be no champion crowned tonight! Quote the Raven, nevermore!"

PPV fades to black[/i]
