LTP Predictions Thread

Recommended Posts

Since SJ forgot to post the card. Here's what it is that I have jotted down. I don't know the first round brackets, but we can add them in after HD.

 

DAY 1:

 

First Round of EoD

 

The Parka vs. J. Arthur Edwards (No Holds Barred)

 

Hell's Hitmen vs. GPX

 

Jivin JR vs. Jim Cornette (Tuxedo Match)

 

DAY 2:

 

Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and Finals of EoD

 

Zack Malibu vs. Crystal (OAOAST Title)

 

NNMX vs. Black T (Tag Title)

 

Drek Stone vs. Mad Cappa (Hell in a Cell for Italian Title)

---------

 

Why aren't we having the Quarterfinals on Day 1 so that it's more evenly divided?

Math time!

 

Let's say you have a sixteen man tournament. This gives you eight first round matches, four quarterfinal matches, two semifinal matches, and one final match. Using your setup, there would be twelve matches on day one, and three on day two. Obviously, there is very little balance here.

 

However, by placing the quarterfinal matches on day two, you have eight matches on day one, and seven on day two -- the most even balance possible given the setup. You can literally apply this formula to any tournament and come up with the same result: there will always be more first-round matches than in the rest of the tournament combined.

 

:) Cheers.

Keep your newfangled "math" out of this, bub. :angry:

 

Well, the EoD thing will be a little clearer after tomorrow (well, we'll have the first round, anyway), so I'll hold off on that. Early prediction: Calvin Szechstein. Thrillogy, represent.

 

Les autres matches:

 

- J. Arthur over The Parka, due to Cain-terference.

 

- Hell's Hitmen over the G-P-X, sad to say.

 

- I doubt Jivin' Jim vs. Cornette will end in anything but a brawl between the NNMX and Black T. Which is all right by me.

 

- Speaking of which, no way that Black T loses to the Midnights -- no way.

 

- Drek over Cappa in the Cell which should be AWESOME.

 

- And of course, no way Zack loses to that hussy Crystal! ;)

 

You know, I figured this would be a tight card, but seeing it on paper it looks REALLY good...really really good.

I predict that one person will forget the PPV is in a prison and write their match like it was in an arena. That one person will not be me, because I don't have a match.

Wouldn't there then be seven first-round matches? Six one on ones and a four-way? And there'd also only be three quarterfinal matches.

No, because then there'd be eighteen guys in the tourney. See...

 

2+2+2+2+2+2+4=16.

 

2+2+2+2+2+2+2+4=18.

DAY 1:

 

First Round of EoD I will predict this after HD

 

The Parka vs. J. Arthur Edwards (No Holds Barred) One of these two men will win...or it will end in double Count Out...or No Contest...or...I'm not telling.

 

Hell's Hitmen vs. GPX I'm going with Hell's Hitmen to keep them going strong

 

Jivin JR vs. Jim Cornette (Tuxedo Match) Jim Cornette after using the tennis raquet

 

DAY 2:

 

Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and Finals of EoD I predict that blood will be spilled

 

Zack Malibu vs. Crystal (OAOAST Title) I'm going out on a limb and saying Crystal...just to be different

 

NNMX vs. Black T (Tag Title) Black T retain

 

Drek Stone vs. Mad Cappa (Hell in a Cell for Italian Title) I'll go with Drek Stone

But that's exactly what I said. Six one on ones...and a four-way.

 

2+2+2+2+2+2+4=16.

 

I think.

*raises hand*

 

Did it already. I wrote it with pen and paper though, so I'll be able to change the format when I type it up.

EoD: The winners are fans of gore. Blood!

 

The Parka vs. J. Arthur Edwards: Parka

 

Hell's Hitmen vs. GPX: GPX by DQ/countout (gotta keep HH strong)

 

Jivin JR vs. Jim Cornette: The Rock 'n' Roll Express make a cameo costing their old rival the match

 

DAY 2:

 

Zack Malibu vs. Crystal: Zack

 

NNMX vs. Black T: The Rock & Rolls return, this time costing BT the titles in their quest to wrestle every version of the Midnights ever created. That also leads to cameos from the other 3 incarations of MX. :)

 

Drek Stone vs. Mad Cappa: Drek Stone

Here are the first round brackets and my picks to win:

 

Hoff vs. Scotty Static Hoff...I don't see him going out in the first round

 

Rick Edwards vs. Nate vs. Mikey vs. SB87 Can't say

 

Sly Sommers vs. Cuban Wall Sly Sommers...unless Calvin interferes

 

Gunner Sharps vs. Vitamin X Gunner...he's unstoppable!

 

Jay Darring vs. Chris Stevens Shooter Jay...he can't lose on his comeback!

 

Drek Stone vs. Johnny Jackson Drek because he bet on himself and can't lose...can he?

 

Calvin Szechstein vs. Leon Rodez Calvin...you gotta keep moving towards that Sly/Calvin matchup
