I mentioned it in my second post you swine!

Bounty Hunter

ah read through the first posts from both of you and have the others to read later but any excuse really for some Steve Blackman goodness. Wish they actually made that.

Hell imagine if they decided to tweak it and had Blackman's whole team full of former WWE guys (maybe they didn't like they were MMA guys)

Are those brackets correct Joe? Is that how it's scheduled? If there's changes needed let me know!

Bounty Hunter

finished reading the network show question thread there and voted, would watch both and im sure whoever gets through would make a formidable opponent for MNG or myself (if the above brackets stand).

beakerjoe

Yeah that's the brackets, all your missing is a KotR logo.

gerrybbadd

Have my last rebuttal in... That was hard work!

Thanks for the match beaker!

beakerjoe

God Id love to keep arguing, I see plenty of thinks I could pick at in your last rebuttal, damn only 2 replies.

Great debate Gerry, I really enjoyed the match and hopefully if we face each other next year it will be a final.

beakerjoe

Bounty Hunter will throw a poll up in mine and Gerrys match soon, and with 10 votes in both other quarter finals, please get voting after two great debates from Omackeral and ImnottheHulk as well as MNG and BH in their matches.

Congrats to TheBostonCrab who just about bested Winnie in their match. Great match guys.

TBC will face Cheese Wagstaff in the last QF and that match will be up shortly.

The Bounty Hunter v MNG Match is going back and fourth in the voting and its a coin toss as to who will be winning when the poll closes, the sign of two master class debaters.

Ha! I know well - that's why i threw in some zingers! :p:p

I'm really enjoying this years competition, there's some serious questions and answers.

Its the answers/choices that make it, as well as your opponents ability to pick holes in said answer. Some clever guys on this thread let me tell ya. I thought BHs answer was a sure fire winner (though I didn't think of The Rock when I wrote the question myself), but MNG fired back just as hard. Great stuff to read.

Fair play to TheBostonCrab and best of luck for the next round. I think Seth Rollins and the future after the match may have the clincher. Interesting to see how Rollins does fair in the future. Thanks for reading guys

Was nicely debated, to be honest when you brought out Angle my thoughts were "****, how am I going to beat Kurt?" because it's such a good choice and would be a quality match!

Voting going strong in BH v MNG, with 20 votes so far and still plenty of time for the match to go either way.

Only 11 votes in the Omackeral v ImnottheHulk match so get voting if you havent already.

Only 6 votes in my match with Gerry, so get voting folks!

Only 6??? Jaysus, and the blood, sweat and tears that we both shed in that battle for the ages.

Get voting lads!

My latest entry is a bit of a monster - sorry!

I should look into getting it published on Kindle!:P:P:P

connemara man

Great stuff so far in general...

I've voted on most after reading I always go back to the question and see who for me answered it best overall. Some I've been 50-50 on like not even having any sway either way

Just wondering could a mod pm me who I voted for in BH vs MNG

I know you'll find out when the poll is closed. Unsure if Mods have that ability TBH.

I always wait until the end of the match (when all 6 replies are up), as what can seem like a tremendous answer can be torn apart by a clever debater.

I'm the same reason timing

The reason I ask I voted on my phone and may not have been paying full attention to who I voted for and was too late when I copped

Bounty Hunter

yeah don't think I can check until it's done. That said I can see the current vote tally and it's been tough having this ability this time though, watching my vote lead disappear.

Remember people a vote for BH equals a vote for not getting banned!

Sure you can just ban MNG if he wins so he cant compete...HEEL TURN BH

beakerjoe

Also its nerve racking not knowing how I'm doing (since Im not a mod) but can see others polls since I created them......

gerrybbadd

If found that, in any of the questions, when I go back to the page, the option I voted for appears in italics

beakerjoe

Your right,I thought it only showed it once the voting had closed. Did you vote for the correct choice?

Feud of the year right here. Move over Lesnar and Taker. :pac:

My idea has just gone up there. I really liked that question, I thought of so many plans and tried to bundle them all together. Hopefully it comes across okay!

Mr.Nice Guy

Very pleasantly surprised to have made it to the semi-final stage. Bounty Hunter was a great opponent and it's an honour to have been given the nod over him.

If I'm not mistaken my semi-final opponent is going to be Omackeral. That is another challenger who will be really tough. I've been very impressed with his contributions and it's no surprise to me that he has won this contest in the past.

For the moment I'm just going to enjoy being in the semi-final and watching the rest of you battle it out!

Jaysus, 10 voters in our poll.... I despair:o:(:(:(

What's the bets it'll be a draw!

beakerjoe

16 votes now Gerry, the tension is killing me.

Congrats to Omackeral and Mr Nice Guy who now will face each other in the Semi.

Mr Nice Guy wins this chapter of the MNG/BH war (its been going on years now) and it was a hard battle to call. Commiserations to BH who duelled valiantly against MNG, with both men making great points through out. As BH stated above, it was some sway in the votes as BH had a nice lead before MNG came back with a bang.

Omackeral bested ImnottheHulk, with again both men dishing out great answers and responses. These two guys need to be working for the Network (esp if Swerved is the best thing WWE can come up with).

I put up that poll so dunno if Beaker can see it but it says:

This poll will close on 28-09-2015 at 14:45

beakerjoe

Poll up in the TBC V Cheese match..... great debate guys, lets see how voters saw it.

Stereomaniac

I'm sure Gerry would have only given my own answer 4 out of 10 at best if he read it, ha ha.
