First pass the post with 4 votes wins it, rules are rules!


If it was a vote on the best team instead of your favourite I think LOD would have gotten there first for sure

10 votes in a little over 10 minutes. First to 4 is incredibly unfair in that event.

I'm glad Head Cheese got the upset as it blows the competition open, even though I would have voted LoD myself.

ShagNastii

Money Inc get through and they didn't even have to make a bribe.

I can see the contention about the head cheese/RW votes. I am puzzled as they are near polar opposites when it comes to longavity, achievements, popularity, chemistry, look. Plus the fact if I'd have left out Head Cheese nobody would have noticed or have batted an eyelid. But in this case I think I'll take the rules are rules stance. I don't want to pick and choose who goes through because I think they should. The Airboom/Wyatts case doesn't compare as both got 4 votes at the very same time.

I'll ask now that we're at the business end, a bit of explaination with your answer makes it more credible (if ya don't mind).

I shouldn't judge your choices but please don't make this one big "Steve Blackman" joke (the tournament is an effort).


Thanks guys. W*nky finger waving talk over before it gets too cheesey:D. Onwards and upwards.

D-VON get the next pairings.

Sting and Luger for sure. There is a difference between a comedy act working well and one just being a pain to watch, and The Spirit Squad became a pain. Luger and Sting were a great team together, not the best, but miles ahead of the SS

really liked sting and luger, absolutely hated SS, ran their course for far too long

ShagNastii

The heart of WCW see off the cheerleaders. Was going to try compromise the RW situation but tbh I would've legit voted for the Spirit Squad in that round which would have been no more or no less ludicous. Four great talents up next.

For me Beer Money were an all round better team for longer rather than a short term 'star' tag team so - Beer...MONEY!!!

Beer Money, again because they actually felt like a tag team, not two main eventers together just for the sake of it.
