You just keep playing that game, Marv.

THE MATCHUPS: Elite Snobs/Boardum/Pit bracket: 1. Incandenza vs. 16. Youth N Asia - Inc's fine, and he's going to win this bracket anyway, so here's an off vote to 'make things interesting'. He also failed to get an Office reference I made in a thread about New York pizza. 2. Tzar Lysergic (Agent of Oblivion) vs. 15. KOAB (King of All Blacks) - KOAB makes it so I have to turn signatures off at work. 3. Edwin MacPhisto vs. 14. Black Lushus - my 24/7 brother. 4. dr. rosenpenis (Banky) vs. 13. EricMM - Will he get his Wii? 5. justsoyouknow vs. 12. k thx (chave) - ran this thing last year. 6. Sex Machine Gun (Kotzenjunge) vs. 11. Carnival (fka Carnivalizcoming) - this really doesn't require a reason. 7. Sensei John Kreese vs. 10. kkktookmybabyaway - Sensei seems unaware of who I am, but I think he's good all the same. He also started our wiki project! 8. Captain of Outer Space vs. Ravenbomb TSM Vets/Shit Folders bracket: 1. Slayer vs. 16. Matt Young - Going by KingPK's "Mrs TSM" tournament format, Slayer shouldn't even be eligable. He also kicked my ass in last year's round one. He deserved to and is funny, but Matt Young made his triumphent return in 2006 and we should crown a new winner. 2. Mole vs. 15. Bobby Peru (Special K) - ANS fiasco. 3. Banky Edwards/Oedipus Rex (Czech Republic) vs. 14. bigolsmitty - killed Tuxedo Mask but is an established and funny poster. Also voted for me. 4. Queen Leelee (Princess Leena) vs. 13. snuffbox - I don't quite get this "forums.thesmartmarks.com" runner that our wiki claims is a long standing meme, I swear she's the only one that does it. But she voted for me and I get along with her much better than I did a year ago. 5. CWMwasmurdered (CobainWasMurdered) vs. 12. NYU - nominated me last year. 6. MrRant vs. 11. Smues - his power level is over 9000. 7. FFMS (FrigidSoul/Failed Mascot) vs. 10. BX - invited me to a forum because I liked The Real Ghostbusters (glad I re-read last year's opening round to duplicate my comments). 8. bob_barron vs. 9. Superstar - voted for me, likes The Office and NewsRadio, and is bob_barron. Sports Folder bracket: This is hard because I only posted in there during Montreal Canadiens and Detroit Tigers play-off games, so I have to go by their other appearances. 1. alkeiper vs. 16. alfdogg - 24/7 connection. 2. Lord of the Curry vs. 15. NoCalMike - fagshitter is a funny word. 3. Kingofthe909 vs. 14. Mik 4. Ripper vs. 13. treble_charged 5. Cartman vs. 12. The Max 6. Porter vs. 11. The Man In Blak 7. Vitamin X vs. 10. Spaceman Spiff (this is extremley difficult, because Spiff loved Tuxedo Mask for reasons I don't know and is part of the NewsRadio connection, but VX is running this whole deal and came up with a division format AND gave me an endorsement. I have to Spiff because I like his POSTS better, but in terms of "who do I want to vote for", it was way too close). 8. CanadianGuitarist vs. 9. Marvinisalunatic - Marvin demanding to be removed is obviously a ploy to be voted to the finals by people who think it will be funny to drive him nuts. Not fooling me, Matt. The Canadian gets the vote. The Awesomely Mediocre and/or Unknown bracket: 1. admin (aka Mike the admin/adminbot) vs. 16. Muggy Bogues - his awesome Lisa avatar outweighs his fraud against Canada. 2. gary floyd (fka lovecraft321 or something like that) vs. 15. razazteca - Not even close. 3. CanadianChris vs. 14. Imarkout4ElDandy - Even though I nominated IM4ED for maintaining the wiki, CanadianChris is Canadian. 4. redbaron51 vs. 13. UseTheSledgeHammerUh - I'm more familiar with UTSU than I sam redbaron, but natrually that works against Sledge. 5. Scroby vs. 12. AndrewTS - The guy that keeps the wheels in the VG folder moving, started (and will probably finish, as well as have almost every entry in between be by him) the awesome 100 Reasons Sega is Stupid thread. 6. Hawk52 vs. 11. Hawk 34 - kind of an ass at times, but I like his opinions. 7. Hunter's Torn Quad vs. 10. Invader3k 8. Vampiro69 vs. 9. DrVenkman

I'm glad to know I'm formerly known as Mr. Gray, not also known as. I'll have to notify OHIP. Thanks for the endorsement all the same, VX. Funny how in 2006, Leena's voting comment was "HTQ copycat assclown", now it's "ok to me". Moving up! I'm a bit bummed that two of the people I nominated (Scroby and TS) are against each other, and the other (MisawaGQ / World's Worst Man) isn't in the bracket, although that was a courtesty nod anyway.

Take a trip all the way back to the year 2006 and relive the opening round of the last tournament. Read such classic quotes as "Who is the fagshitter that nominated me?" and "Who is the fagshitter that changed my original post about the fagshitter that nominated me?" and many more.

So, yeah, Hardys vs MNM is fairly awesome but it was difficult to watch that PPV without heavy use of fast forwarding, especially the main event. I love Striker's gimmick, though. My audio for the main event was weird too, beginning with the Heyman promo (the audio was about a behind the video).

He explains that aspect of it as well. In short, "not cool".

Isn't Larry Hennig supposed to be inducting Curt, or is he just doing the inductee speech?

Well I suggest going to WWE.com to watch the Foley interview (plugging his book) where he discusses the deal, but long story short - he saw her on SmackDown back when SmackDown sucked (he has a nicer way of saying it) and thought she could be a big star, so he talked to her backstage. A good, platonic friendship began.

Isn't gripping the ropes how one counters that move? I thought the finish was supposed to be Melina countering the rana by holding the ropes, but Mickie took a bad fall.

March 7th Updates: December to Dismember, December 16/96 Monday Night War, new NWA episode, repost of the Piper "Legends" episode. Not much this week (unless I'm missing something) but they put a LOT on last week that I still haven't watched (WCCW, CWF) that expires next week. The MNW is good this week. David Sammartino appears on Nitro! Crazy. I look forward to the ECW trainwreck. I skimmed it previously on a download and at the very least I know Hardys/MNM is good, hopefully the rest is so bad it's good.

Oh man, I was going to nominate you too (because you nominated me in the tournament I lost to Slayer in round 1).

I'm being nominated by World's Worst Man. He just doesn't like this corner of the forum enough to let you folks know himself. Maybe I can be matched up against Slayer and lose by a blow-out again!

I'm pretty sure I wonder this every year during my Mania watching, but who the hell was the suit that was flailing his arms around and terribly oversold Ken Shamrock's belly to belly suplex at Mania XIV?

From Meltzer's Tuesday update: --Mickie James suffered a slight stinger last night in landing badly on the missed huracanrana spot in her match with Melina on Raw last night in Phoenix. The feeling is she narrowly escaped a very serious injury.

You'd think Cena would have thought something was up when he walked by Johnny Nitro, in his wrestling gear, standing at the Gorilla position. Anyone else catch that?

Hawk 34

The ceremony already sold out and it's not being televised this year anyway (and if it was, it would probably just be Lawler/Hennig/Rhodes), so the idea of who people know, don't know, or what would 'draw' is moot.

Either way, I second the SJK nomination. Edit: Which someone already did.

Booker or Batista to ECW? I'm guessing neither. I'm thinking that the WWE will still call these ppvs (for awhile at least) single brand ppvs and they'll slowly be adding guys from the other brands on the ppvs and Cena's just on it because he'll be the guy from a different brand that they'll be promoting the most. Though I wonder if they'll put any ECW guys on the show, other than Lashley. If you take a closer look at the poster, you'll note it says "World Wrestling Entertainment Presents" instead of the usual "Single Brand Presents" and all three logos are at the bottom.

He's wrestling Finlay this week, hence my "4 out of 5 announced matches" comment. Anyway, I made the switch, but then swapped Kennedy out for Umaga so I'm not any more diversified. Hopefully he squashes someone or defends his title.

The fact that 4 out of 5 announced matches involve people that cost 4-5M each is a bit annoying. First I had Orton and Cena (Orton on the basis he'll be winning a MITB match sometime this week), then decided to go back to Edge/Orton because I figure there will be some chair beatdown, but now I'm thinking I'll swap Edge out for Taker or Batista, just to have more of a mix.

For awhile I misread this thread title as "Services for the McKenzie Group" (as in a funeral).

Yeah, that was reported in last weeks WON. I'm not sure how people got "WWE will be only advertising one match per PPV AND pushing the cruiserweights" out of that story, but whatever. Four touring purposes, the shows are still split, but the PPVs will provide "fresh match-ups".
