Guest Report post Posted May 19, 2002 Here's the list of wrestlers for the CZW Best of the Best tournament which will be coming soon- -B-Boy -Super Dragon -M-Dogg 20 -Ruckus -Jodie Fleisch -Johnny Storm -Trent Acid -Johnny Kashmere I don't know if this is the complete list but why the fuck did they leave Ruckus off? I know there doing an angle but that's a bad decision. Menace too......I dont like him but they gave him a 3-way on CZW tv that he won that was sposed to be an exhibition match to show his skills because he was eligble for the tounrey and they don't even pick him? Fucked up booking. And where are Quiet Storm, Winger, and The Briscoes? They also should of brought guys like American Dragon and Loki in......Maybe they have something agaisnt all the hardcore in CZW. Anyway I am going to get tix to this show.....Jody Fleish and Storm are from England and are supposed to be fucknig great....I'm syked for those two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sandman9000 Report post Posted May 19, 2002 They also added Nick Berk and Tony Mamaluke. That makes ten total. I'm curious if they are going to add two more and keep the format they had last year (4 3-ways in opening round, one guy eliminated, then regular matches) or if they have something new.

Guest gangsteruwa Report post Posted May 19, 2002 Quiet Storm is done with CZW last time I heard. Big Japan and CZW are on the outs, so the chances of Winger being there are really low. The Briscoes recently "quit" CZW for reasons that I don't know. It all stems to problems between Zandig (CZW) and Rob Feinstein (ROH). Its really complicated to get into but RF explained his side to what happend on the czwfans.com message board. That pretty much explains why Low Ki and American Dragon will most likely not be at BOTB2. So 11 people have been announced for BOTB 2. Here are the names: B-Boy Super Dragon MDogg20 Jody Fleisch Jonny Storm Ruckus Trent Acid Johnny Kashmere Tony Mamaluke Nick Berk Jason Cross I imagine they'll announce the twelth wrestler at the show. Maybe it will be a "suprise". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted May 19, 2002 THis whole Briscoe/ROH/CZW thing is stupid...unless what they're getting paid by RF it's a risky move...CZW has been in business for 3 years after all...and how many other promotions like Ring of Homos come along and say they'll be the next big thing...and fold right after. Why the hell can't someone work for both...money in the indies are not good enough to boycott a company cause you're working for another...it's not like they're under contracts. I hope they don't do last year's format, it was dumb, didn't seem well thought out, and made the show go on forever. And this year's line up doesn't look near as good as last years.

Guest Report post Posted May 22, 2002 I think for this show I am going to travel to philly to see it. I went to last years botb and it was the shit, and plus I haven't been the the ecw arena since mecw's ONE show in august so I think it's about time. Anybody else going? --Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest liberal Report post Posted May 23, 2002 I live in england and see a lot of british wrestling, i can promise you when you see jonny storm and jody fleisch you will not be dissapointed. I am not that familiar with czw and the BOTB tourney but if you put these two into the ring together you will get a very exciting match. There was a big event in England in february where they had a ladder match and bill apter described it as "Better than Rey Vs Juvi at theor best" , praise indeed.

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted May 25, 2002 Canada's greatest cruiserweight "Primetime" Elix Skipper is taking the 12th spot on BOTB 2...that could pick up the show even more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest gangsteruwa Report post Posted June 1, 2002 Here are the opening Brackets for BOTB2. I believe the rules are that there is one pinfall/submission/etc... and the people that were not pinned move on to the next round to face each other (Correct me if I am wrong). Bracket #1: Trent Acid vs. MDogg20 vs. Jason Cross Bracket #2: B-Boy vs. Super Dragon vs. "Softcore" Nick Berk Bracket #3: Elix Skipper vs. Ruckus vs. Tony Mamaluke Bracket #4: Johnny Kashmere vs. Jonny Storm vs. Jodie Fleisch Also at the show will be the Messiah vs. Justice Pain for the CZW World Title which Messiah won at High Stakes, and Lobo vs. Wifebeater (which should please the bloodmarks).

Guest J*ingus Report post Posted June 2, 2002 I believe the rules are that there is one pinfall/submission/etc... and the people that were not pinned move on to the next round to face each other (Correct me if I am wrong). Geez, I hope you are wrong, because those rules are, if anything, even stupider than last year. Why eliminate 8 out of 12 of your competitors in the FIRST ROUND? If you absolutely have to have 12 guys instead of 8 or 16, just have a triple-threat finals, and have all the others be one-on-one singles matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest gangsteruwa Report post Posted June 2, 2002 with those rules 4 people would be eliminated in the first round. Say MDogg20 pinned Trent Acid (its likely not to happen that way, but I'm just saying for an example) in the first round, then MDogg20 and Jason Cross would wrestle in the second round. So it could look like this round 1 round 2 round 3 round4 TA vs. MD vs. JC -- MD vs. JC - JC vs. NB - BB vs. SD vs. NB -- SD vs. NB - NB vs. JF ES vs. R vs. TM -- R vs. TM - TM vs. JF - JK vs. JS vs. JF -- JS vs. JF - I don't think it will look exactly like this, its just an example.
