Tony has a winner of a line during the Battle Royal: "Everything logical you can think about in WCW over the past few years, throw it out the window!" If you pay attention very early on, you'll note a fan gets into the battle royal. Scott Steiner leaves the ring to beat the crap out of him.

Someone sounds pretty fucking bitter in their vote...

I completely forgot about that exchange. Made me laugh.

I think I'll change my name to my short lived "Venkman-X" persona if I end up in a future round with Vitamin X. Just to confuse the voters and claim votes for "VX" are for me.

Unofficial "Halftime" (25 votes... make that 26 votes, if my tally is right) Count: Venkman: 16 Slayer: 10 Kinetic: 14 Edwin: 12 KOAB: 12 Agent: 14 VX: 19 Treble: 6 A vote cast for Edwin in a round he's not in: 1 VX, as I predicted in my ballot, is the one currently running away with it while Kinetic only leads by one (which is now two). Me/Slayer and KOAB/Agent are pretty close right now too. Anything can happen by Tuesday! Edit: As I typed this information up, BL voted. Edit 2: Re-counted the ballots, I was right the first time when I called Me/Slayer 11-11 with my vote. Not sure whose vote I missed, but I assure you all this is all very close.

Black Lushus?

If my 2009 run ends here, I'll be fine with that. 2007 was the final four, 2008 was the Elite Eight, and when I saw brackets saying I was probably facing Inc, I just assumed I had to settle for Sweet Sixteen this year. Just being the #1 seed - and as my understanding, the OVERALL #1 seed - shows I've gone from TSM poster no one really knows to TSM poster no one but the wrestling folders really knows, but some people outside of that kind of do too. This match-up with Slayer is a rematch from the first POTY I was in. I ended up in that tourney ("Poster of the Year IV") because NYU saw me reading it and decided to give me a random nomination. First round results: DrVenkman 12 Slayer 35 So far I have 11 votes, so I'm HOPING I can do better than 12-35, but if I have to lose, this is as good a place as any. I'd like to win though. Keep those votes coming.

Me: If my math is right, this vote makes it 11-11. Kinetic: People were calling him a lock to win, but it's not even a lock he'll make it past this round. Things are getting competitive! He has my support though. KOAB: I'm not a fan of his drunken and/or high ramblings, but KOAB is more than that. I don't know if he's much more than that, but I can appreciate whatever it is that he brings to the table, such as our bit (I think it was a bit...) where he always accused me of being a closet racist. VX: For a guy that almost destroyed TSM, Leo sure is doing well in a tournament honouring Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence for 2008 (I'm kidding, VX). Seriously though, while everyone keeps saying that this is Kinetic's to win, VX has been the one racking up the votes and destroying his challengers. Edit: My math is either wrong or I just missed a vote when counting up everything for a stats report. This made it 11-10 by my current math. Edit 2: No, I was right the first time.

Sometimes this double life gets out of hand, but if you see trouble coming, I'm your man.

If you use your head you'll always win, just like the Edison Twins.

"you're a", EHME.

The kid is selling.

Now that you mention it, I do think I remember hearing about it before hand. I guess I'll find out soon enough on 24/7.

We usually know by now who the Playboy Diva is. As I recall, the Maria photos were a done deal before they even did the Ashley/Santino angle at the Rumble. I really think this might be a PG casualty this year.

Does the Xavier / Leena collab count as two votes?

Well Mr. Perfect was advertised in advance, but that was awesome. HTM was a surprise entrant in 98 and 2001 and both times it was great (better in 2001 with the whole Kane bit, but he actually lasted a considerable amount of time for a one-shot in 1998). People who hate old guys that can't move be damned, Piper and Snuka were amazing last year. Taker selling for Snuka was so great.

I don't care that the first word in the acronym is the acronym, but that's a great story. Even better then the winner dying the next day (that's a bit cliché).

Did anyone say anything to you about filming and yelling in the movie theatre amusement corner?

So what will the original Throwback be called now? I guess the move hasn't been called that on commentary in about 5 years so it doesn't matter. Also, Hot New Internet Feud!: Matt Hardy vs. Eric Bischoff

Wasn't Venis vs. Punk the match that HBK and HHH thought was terrible?

I clicked "Watch in high quality" but that didn't fix things.

Hall as in hall of fame Yeah. Actually Scott Hall is going to be inducting him. However, he won't show up, so Rick Bogner will do it in his place.
