[Sportsguy]

Flair vs Liger is all I had to read. Voting for Dead/Matte

[The Canadian Content]

DeadBunny: Like the Women's championship match and Hardy/Lita vs. the Burchills.

DevFire: A lot of names I'm not familiar with, but I like the pairings for the ones I do know. I like the concept a lot.

DevFire gets my vote.

[Doug]

Dev/Fire have the first truly unique takes on one of these days, and it's pretty solid and funny teams as well, so they get my vote for this round.

[Matte]

If I could, I would vote for our card, obviously. I feel like we have more variety in the matches and styles. Good luck to our opponents this round.

[Ultimatejobber]

I can't vote against Buggy Nova in the first round. Plus, creativity should be rewarded.

[Road Warrior Shark]

Crap. I dig Dev's idea and some of his pairings, I mean come on, Sharks vs Jets? Hilarious. Storm/Mickie is a great pairing too.

But David Von Erich /Christian? How many kinds of awesome would that be?

Convince me someone

[Matte]

Ok...

Flair/Liger is my main defense. Sabu/Kabuki could be really fun, two madmen at each other's throats. Christian/DVE would be rock solid, and I assume you'll like David going over and advancing along in the tournament. Hero/McIntyre is another solid showing, two great talents just battling it out.

Don't think I need to say much about Beth/Kong. It's the match we're all waiting for WWE to finally throw at us, and we'll eat it up faster than Kong ate her own child. Oh, is that not what happened?

Rogers/Hart could be a masterpiece, and adding Mascaras into the mix gives the match just a bit more spark. The other elimination match is of a different feel, featuring two of today's most amazing high-flyers in PAC and Sugi and two all around solid workers in Shelley and MVP.

And not to be outdone by our competition, our card also features a couple intergender tag matches. Tanaka-Hamada/Morishima-Toyota would be a fucking brutal, hard-hitting, likely bloody match. Hardy-Lita/Burchills would just be fun. Jeff can be good when he's on his game, and Lita only adds to that. The Burchills are wonderful together and I'm sure the two teams could put on a great showing.

LSDILLIGAF (AKA "I Don't Give A Fuck, Let's Drop Acid") won the Super P Tag Team Cup and will prove their continuing dominance by defeating three other teams in an excruciating 8-man 4-way ladder match. We all know the risks and crazy spots these guys are going to be pulling out in this one. And I feel like the inclusion of Vlad and Zeke here doesn't take anything away from the match or the card as a whole.

And since we didn't want to leave anyone off our first card, we put the remaining two names, Victoria/Serena, into a dark match. Not the caliber of the championship match, but not a stinker, either.

Sent a Pm to Pun. If he hasn't replied by tomorrow at noon, I'll open the tiebreaker up to the first non-voter

[DevSop]

I love Pun.

Suckdown.

[Matte]

No surprise there

[Deadly]

Well shit.

[Pun]

I'm not saying it's a bad card, but that's the risk you take when you stack it with people the average wrestling fan hasn't heard of.

[Deleted]

I consider myself an "average wrestling fan", and I've heard of most of D/M's wrestlers.

Dev's not so much.

[Deadly]

I'm happy for Dev and Fire, but they won because the other card had non-mainstream names in it? Really?

Yeah, I missed that he just reopened the poll and voted instead of posting in the thread. I assumed you were sucking down, not thanking him.

Thanks for sharing.

Just saying. I'd be curious to know where Nate knows these people from and how he doesn't know the others on D/M's list.

Pun watches wrestling in 2012? Maybe?

[Matte]

I'm actually slightly interested, as well. I assume PAC and Sugi, maybe Creed, and maybe BLKOUT?

[Chris Eco]

I assume that Pun is counting people he knows but has never watched wrestle? (Which for me includes Kabuki, Rogers, DVE, Stu Hart, and would include many more like Mascaras and Morishima before I started these drafts.)

Also, Gator, I assume you don't follow recent wrestling so much anymore. Tyler Black, Britani Knight and Taeler Hendrix were all on WWE and TNA TV this past week, I think (counting NXT). I'll concede I might know the womenfolk disproportionately though (though I feel like f you know any women's indies, you know MsChif).
