Boards.ie PW Intercontinental Champion Tournament

ShagNastii

Umaga and D-Lo advance. Maybe not a stand out favourite but you’d have to class Pat Patterson as a huge faller. Can the Samoan keep the bulldozer going? First triple threat of the first round. Will post one match up to avoid confusion.

Road Dogg
“Oh you didn’t know I was IC champion”


VS

William Regal
“Gentleman champ with the Power of the Punch”


VS
Razor Ramon
“The Bad guy”



First to four advances.

gerrybbadd

Has to be Da Bad Guy, Razor Ramon!

Moneymaker

Definitely Razor. Childhood memories galore of him with the IC strap!

Kankan14

Razor for me.
Ladder match is a distinct memory of mine.
EDIT: regal was a close(ish) second with Road Dogg a country mile back in third

Necro

Razor Ramon, no doubts here! On top of his ladder match I remember a series of excellent matches with the 123 Kid also.

ShagNastii

Razor goes through. As somebody said the two times Regal was champ he was impressive and as always wholly entertaining but there is no looking past Scott Hall. I'll give you guys one more triple threat before we gets back to two bouts per post. Three guys that IMHO are very much on an even keel.

Carlito
"Intercontinental Champ? That's Cool"


VS

Randy Orton
"A Legend Killer is Born"



VS

Texas Tornado(Kerry Von Erich)
"The Modern Day Warrior"

ricero

carlito for me

Blue_Dabadee

Orton for me.

Kankan14

Texas Tornado for me.

Man this takes me back.....

Moneymaker

Orton, he had a really good(and lengthy reign) as IC champ. Matches with Foley(best match of Orton's career maybe?) and Edge were really damn good.

gerrybbadd

Definately Randy. One of the greatest IC champs of all time in my book

WinnyThePoo

Carlito

Necro

Orton for me. Evolution with all the titles was awesome stuff.

JP Liz V1

The other Ultimate Warrior, Kerry for me

ShagNastii

Randy Orton goes through against two very credible champions in Carlito and Kerry Von Erich. Could Evolution's rookie rattle a few cages in this tournament?
Up next we have a foursome from the Attitude Era to choose from.

Kane
"The Big Red Machine"


VS

Test
"Stephanie's First Boyfriend"




AND


Albert
"Lord Hairyback"



VS

Christian
"The Peep and the Vet"

First to four.

JP Liz V1

Christian and Test

Necro

Yikes..... Two tough calls. I'm voting Test for the first one, the unification match with Edge was brilliant. Shame as I did enjoy Kane as IC Champion too!
Christian gets my vote in the second match as his 'coming of age' revolved around the IC title and included an excellent ladder match with Edge.

Blue_Dabadee

Test and Christian

Omackeral

Test and Captain Charisma. The IC Title just doesn't suit Kane and Albert has to be one of the most forgettable champs ever.

ShagNastii

A whitewash for Kane and Albert. Kane did nothing memorable but did Albert do ANYTHING with the belt. We're going all Cat Stevens with the next two bouts Father and Son. Interesting, yet I sense predictable.

Mr.Perfect
"The Perfect Champion"


VS

Dolph Ziggler
"The Current Champ Can Show Off"


AND


Curtis Axel
"The Perfect Tribute"


VS

Chris Jericho
"So many Y2J incarnations, so many Title Reigns"

Garseys

Jericho and Perfect. Really tough choice though. I love Axel and Ziggles aswell

Blue_Dabadee

Mr.Perfect and Chris Jericho

Necro

Ziggler and Jericho

ricero

Y2j for this round and the tournament and ziggles

JP Liz V1

Mr.Perfect and Y2J

BMMachine

Mr Perfect and Jericho

WinnyThePoo

Jericho and Ziggler.

ShagNastii

Jericho shows his experience to distinguish Paul Heyman's champion. Zigglers puts up a very impressive fight against Mr.Prefect. Jericho and Perfect advance.

Another set of interesting combatants and a guarantee that some big superstars will fall. Could two radicals make it to round two.

Wade "Bad News" Barrett
"I've got some Baaaad News"



VS

Eddie Guerrero
"Latino Heat"



AND

Chris Benoit
"The Rabid Wolverine"



VS

Tito Santana
"Before He Went Bullfighting"

D.Q

the two lads react to the news I've voted for them.

gerrybbadd

No contest. Guerrero and Benoit
