Fökai 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2005 Outlaws v. Road Warriors v. Miracle Violence Connection The Road Warriors squash the Outlaws to begin (doomsday device on Gunn). The Warriors eventually defeat MVC after a Animal powerslam on Gordy. Outsiders v. Midnight Express vs Hardy Boys. The Outsiders throw around both teams like rag dolls, but the MX and Hardys decide on combining their efforts to eliminate the Outsiders - Swanton on Hall wins the first fall. Lane uses the ropes to pin Jeff and win the match. Steiners v. Brainbusters v. Eliminators. Match keeps at a long, but steady pace until Kronus and Rick Steiner are tagged in. Kronus gets CREAMED by Rick - the Steiners go to town on him and finish with a Steinerline. Saturn goes low on Rick after the bell, Total Elimination on Rick, while leaves a distracted Scott prone to a Arn/Tully beatdown and a spike piledriver to finish.

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2005 This is a little more work tallying than I expected, but expect to see 8 teams in a single elimination bracket. I'll post the first two matches around midnite tonite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. S£im Citrus 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2005 Slow down, hoss; I passed sixteen a long time ago and, given a choice between the Steiners and the Busters, I'm picking the Busters. I feel as though Tully and Arn were just as good a team as Rick and Scott, and they didn't have to work stiff in order to get over. Besides, I personally give more weight to the fact that the Busters wrestled in both the WWF and NWA during the peak of their tag team depth, whereas, by the time the Steiners got to the WWF, the tag division was beginning the process of dying a slow death.

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2005 Yeah, you might want to check who's doing the voting before making blanket comments like that. I've been watching wrestling since before a 16-year old would have been born, and I'm saying Arn and Tully were a better team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 In no way was I bashing Tully (my favorite NWA Star ever) and Arn. But for a "greatest 16" to be established without The Steiners is just silly. And your comment about "by the time the Steiners got to the WWF, the division was lesser"... In 1992, we had awful workrate teams: - Natural Disasters (fat guys) - Nasty Boys (brawlers) - Beverly Brothers (heatless, Zzzz...) - Legion of Doom (quite boring, but really didn't work 92 all that match) - Money Inc (they'd BECOME great, but were doing the stall/countout gimmick) - Bushwackers (c'mon...) By 1993, we got: - Steiners (bringing the workrate) - Money, Inc (putting on better matches including awesome cage match w/ Steiners) - Heavenly Bodies (worked good/great matches with Steiners) - Headshrinkers (work in progress, but fresh) - Quebecers (while not workrate machines, had mega heat) I'd say 93 > 92, simply based on better matches without 400 lb fat guys, sloppy brawlers, or power hosses.

Mr. S£im Citrus 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 It goes without saying that 93 > 92 in the WWF, and perhaps "beginning to die" was an exaggeration, but there's no question in my mind that 88-89 was >>>> 93: Brainbusters Bulldogs Hart Foundation Rockers Rougeaus Demolition Powers of Pain That's not even counting the "main event" tag teams of the Mega Powers and the Twin Towers, not to mention probably a half-dozen other teams that got TV time.

Well, this was a random drawing, so while I'd put them there over the Blonds and Funks, I'd still put the Brainbusters over them, who could be considered, based on a tag team formula, the greatest tag team ever.

Mr. S£im Citrus 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2005 Damn! Busters/Blonds could have easily been the final round! This is a hard choice for me, but I'll go with the Busters; as much as I enjoyed the Blonds, I always preferred Austin and Pillman as singles wrestlers. Tully and Arn may or may not have been as charismatic, but they told a story in the ring like few teams that I've ever seen. Harts/Warriors is a little easier for me to call; the Road Warriors were, perhaps, the greatest big man team of all time, but I always marked for the way that the Harts could go "AC/DC" on you, with Hart's wrestling, and Neidhart's power game. They had great tandem moves, and excellent chemistry. Plus, I used to mark out like a little kid to see Neidhart hit a dropkick after the hot tag.
