IC Tournament Round One: Final Groups

http://challonge.com/bodic#_=_

Really, Marty Jannetty over Magnificent Muraco?  Do you think Marty could handle the acting skill of Fuji Vice while messed up on pills?  For shame.

Here’s your last eight matches:

Comments

  1. Chyna deserves a little recognition so I hope she goes through.

  2. I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you then.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Looking at the matches in the second round, it would be a bonanza of ***.5-***** matches.

    ReplyDelete
  4. hahah. Thanks for stopping by, Big E Langston! Not worthy of holding Rick's robe


    SUMMERSLAM SWEATHOGS 4 LIFE!!

  5. The Baltimore Ravens are the biggest crybaby losers in sports history.

  6. unless this happens right before the match starts

    Then Chyna's chances of winning are very slim

  7. I didn't vote for Honky Tonk Man.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Best finisher ever for woman who competed more against men than women. Oh and where is that top rope pedigree gif?

    ReplyDelete
  9. The Rock was thrown a softball this round. I approve.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Honky Tonk Man all day! Now we're talkin'!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Other than Owen vs. Christian, there is not a match on this list that I see being better than **.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Pats used an offensive formation popular in college where the team uses 4 offensive linemen, plus Gronk on the line and then add an ineligible receiver flanked wide. Chip Kelly, Nick Sabin etc have used it but according to the Ravens its was trickery and unfair. Their post game comments came close to accusing my beloved team of cheating.

    ReplyDelete
  13. TJ: You know who I wish was in WCW circa 1993? Curt fucking Hennig. After the '92 awesomeness with Flair/Heenan and after the Dangerous Alliance had sorta faded away in WCW, putting Rude & Hennig together to fuck with Sting, Steamboat, Flair, and company in WCW would have been gold. Those guys are seriously two of my all-time favorite heels. Rude, Hennig, Austin, & Pillman vs. Flair, Sting, Stemboat, Dustin, Windham, et al throughout 1993-94.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Yeah that wasn't cheating. Their video-taping bullshit of the early 2000's was though.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I'm trying to picture it. So did it look like there were six possible receivers?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Rick Rude vs. Chyna. Just imagine how much fun that would be in the second round. Just imagine.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Maybe HE could have been the nefarious one who put the bomb on Sting and Davey's boat instead of Cheatum!

    ReplyDelete
  18. It seems strange that ANYBODY would accuse the Patriots of cheating.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I'm hoping this ends in Rude - Warrior, but I don't see too many people voting Owen Hart out.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Giving a heel a run with the IC title and letting them break Honky Tonk Man records is my last guy just comes out and wins the Royal Rumble fantasy book fantasy.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I voted for Chyna. Barrett just got pinned on Smackdown by Sin Cara. I'm not voting for any of these loser champions of today that constantly get pinned in non-title matches. Plus I was kind of a Chyna mark for a while there. I'll contend to my dying day that she was more over than HHH till about mid-1999.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Is that Royal Rumble fantasy the one where all 29 men have been eliminated before number 30 has entered?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Rude, Wade, Warrior and Rock should all have easy wins

    If Kofi is facing 1990 Kerry then Kofi gets an easy win.

    Lance Storm would make short work of HTM but who am I to not vote for the greatest IC champ of all time.

    Patera should get an easy win, but not too many here (including myself) saw him in his prime. Mizdow mimicking being locked in a swinging full nelson would be the greatest thing ever.

    Owen/Xstian is a dream match I didn't even know that I wanted to see. I'm sitting this one out. I can't pick a winner.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Now that's......perfect.

    ReplyDelete
  25. ... he'd have a pic of HHH's face on his tights?

    ReplyDelete
  26. If Ezekiel gets even one vote, that means he's a poster here on the BOD that's voting for himself.

    ReplyDelete
  27. And if he gets a bunch of votes, he's spamming the votes.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I'd imagine most of Marty's votes came from most of us being just too young to remember Muraco's reign, and old enough to remember his IC title win over Shawn on RAW.


    Also, Booker T vs. Warrior would have some damned fun promos.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Shelton over Ahmed? Are you people fucking insane?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Chyna deserves to be stricken from the record.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I voted Shelton. I thought he was good. Kind of like the 1-2-3 Kid of his day. Someone who you didn't really give a shit about but for one segment per Raw, could put on a good match.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Over Ahmed? The personification of It Factor? The guy who's promos left you enthralled even though he's the only American wrestler I've seen with subtitles? Ahmed was an unappreciated comet of awesomeness.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I dunno. I'm a big Owen supporter in stuff like this (I voted for nearly all his teams in the tag team tournament) but Rude and Warrior represent the golden era of the IC Title.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic here or not. Anyway, I liked Ahmed fine but don't really have any memories of him. Shelton wins my vote simply by falling off the top of the ladder at WM and getting his head superkicked off by Shawn.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I did not expect Savage to win that easily...

    ReplyDelete
  36. The cream rises to the top.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I think everyone was viewing Angle as rookie Kurt Angle with hair, not the wrestling beast we all know and love.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Yes, every year someone brings it up like it is the greatest fantasy booking idea ever conceived.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I fully endorse this idea, as well as your avatar. Best heel the WWF ever had.

    Hit the music

    ReplyDelete
  40. No sarcasm needed. Ahmed's "YUH GUBBA DUH!" promo and his pure rage at getting CPR from Goldust outweigh Shelton's career.

    Derailed by injury future WWE champ who held the title when it meant something or blank slate spot monkey from when the title was treated like it was the worst gift at Yankee swap? It shouldn't have even been close.

    ReplyDelete
  41. (Pat Patterson looks at the results, his face a mixture of disbelief and sadness)


    "Mountie? Jannetty? WHO ARE THESE PUNKS? And now some millennial jackass named Miz wants to knock off my good friend Ken Patera? UNACCEPTABLE! I shall have to uphold the honor and prestige of those good old days by beating some sense into these kids! Jeff Hardy, you fruitcake, I'll beat you so bad your hair will only be able to display two colors for the next few weeks: black and blue."

    ReplyDelete
  42. The only time it would have been good was during the Jericho trolling.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Honky should win because he is 1) cool 2) cocky 3) bad 4) has hair slicked back 5) has long sideburns, 6) picks a mean guitar and 7) wears blue suede shoes.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Hey injuries are a part of the game. We all make fun of Nash for his quads.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Miz should lose because he has had 2 title reigns of 1 day each

    ReplyDelete
  46. Miz should lose because he is the Miz. No other excuse needed.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Ahmed was derailed because of injuries. Shelton was derailed by being boring when not falling off ladders.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Can you imagine Rude in his prime right now in WWE? That guy wouldn't take ANY shit from Vince or HHH.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Miz should win because he understands "closed" signs at McDonalds.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Shelton comes off the top, Ahmed tries to catch him, goes down in a heap with a painful hernia. Match over.


    Also, Ahmed played Suge Knight in a movie? WHAT?

    ReplyDelete
  51. I was going to make a joke about the 2 Ultimate Warriors thing but it's just not funny in light of his recent passing.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I really wanted muraco to face the rock in this tourney to figure out who is the true rock

    ReplyDelete
  53. McMahon is 99' would have worked perfectly. The thing with Jericho winning is they had no way to pay off the silent gimmick.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I liked his us title/showmiz run and was cheering when he won the world title. I also liked the awesome truth run.

    ReplyDelete
  55. He had enough time with the belt, plus I have a soft spot for Lance.

    ReplyDelete
  56. 8) Comes to your town in a pink Cadillac

    ReplyDelete
  57. A good read is to read in Jericho's second book about his co-title run with chyna.

    Note: autocorrect on my phone wants to change chyna to chubs

    ReplyDelete
  58. You vote for Mountie, but not HTM?


    (WHAT. THE . FUCK.)

    ReplyDelete
  59. Just looking over the bracket we could end up with Warrior vs. The Rock from this group.

    ReplyDelete
  60. One is Magnificent. The other one isn't.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Eh...Ahmed was Just Another Guy to me. I didn't even notice he was gone when he was injured or when he finally just disappeared. You probably feel the same way about Shelton. So we'll have to just agree to disagree on this one.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Chyna FTW

    http://i.minus.com/iFxheFjU6bdZC.gif

    ReplyDelete
  63. That, and when I think Intercontinental Championship, I don't think of Kurt.

    ReplyDelete
  64. When I think of Kurt, I think of Eurocontinental Champion

    ReplyDelete
  65. I hate that people think of Steve Austin as some great IC Champion. Austin cared so little about the belt, he threw it in a river. He was a horrible IC-champion.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Prediction: nobody past 1997 will win this tournament.

    ReplyDelete
  67. No chance.....NO CHANCE IN HELL

    ReplyDelete
  68. I see shenanigans in Marty Jannetty's victory. The vote total is totally off in comparison to some of the other matches in that round.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Patera charges to the corner! The Miz moves! Skull Crushing Finale!

    ReplyDelete
  70. No idea what you're talking about.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Yes, it looks like their are 6 men on the line of scrimmage, two of which are eligible, and the guy flanked out to the far left or right is ineligible. It's a confusing looking play but totally legal.

    ReplyDelete
  72. The video taping that all teams did?

    ReplyDelete
  73. Honky Tonk is the greatest pre-January 1992 IC Champion

    ReplyDelete
  74. Wow Pat Patterson beat Eddie by 2 votes! That's crazy. Honestly though, Jannety blowing out Don Muraco like that??? Who the fuck voted for Marty Jannety? Awful awful decision.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Whatever ya gotta tell yourself.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Shelton Benjamin beating Ahmed Johnson is horrible. Wtf is wrong with the people who vote on this? Are just purposely picking the worst choice or do they just not know anything? That's fucking awful.

    ReplyDelete
  77. If Miz was ic champion on his way to the WWE championship in 2010, I would have voted fur him over Patera. But since the IC champ Miz was the 2013-2014 joke, I voted for Patera.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Ahmed held the belt for two months and defended it once.

    Benjamin held it twice for pretty long reigns and was champion for the first two Money in the Bank matches, where he was awesome and amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  79. HTM, Rude, Barrett, Kofi, Warrior, Owen, Rock, Patera

    ReplyDelete
  80. He was as better IC champion than Jeff Jarrett.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I have a bad feeling that Miz and Big E are getting lots of votes based on the results from the last round.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I'll be discussing it next Sunday while I'm watching the Pats play yet another home playoff game. So...

    ReplyDelete
  83. Marty Jannety is coming and he's going to rock and roll, strut and stroll and take care of tournament business.

    ReplyDelete
  84. I was cool with the Mountie winning. As he not only is handsome, but also both brave and strong. However, Marty Jannetty over The Magnificent Muraco? This is a miscarriage of justice...

    ReplyDelete
  85. Seriously, Rude, Owen, Warrior, Rock... This has got to be the best block.

    Go Rude!

    ReplyDelete
  86. Hey I have nothing but respect for the Pats. They win their division every year and are always a threat to make the Super Bowl. But you realize that complaining about Harbaugh callling out your "beloved" Patriots for schnanagins (which is wasnt) opens you up to having people poke fun at you

    ReplyDelete
  87. His IC title win was huge, and I suspect most people forgot Muraco had the belt for the cage match with Snuka.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I'll take "damning with faint praise" for $1,000, Alex.


    *I* was a better IC champ than Jarrett.

    ReplyDelete
  89. The first Eurocontinental champion. (except for D'Lo Brown, but he doesn't count.)

    ReplyDelete
  90. Rude vs. Rusev. All I'm saying.


    (Even if the match wouldn't be any good (and I think it would; not entirely sold on the Super-Athlete yet, but he's getting there) the promos alone, Rude trying to steal Lana......)

    ReplyDelete
  91. Jarrett used the IC title to catapult himself getting a hit single.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Jannetty is the only wrestler to not go down on Pat Patterson because his integrity is NOT for sale.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Of course I know what's coming, but the Ravens are the ultimate loudmouths and I find it funny their complaining of trickery when they got beat fair and square.

    ReplyDelete
  94. People just loved Marty Jannetty so much that the people that don't usually vote on these things decided to just vote for Marty.

    ReplyDelete
  95. People remember that Vince wanted to put the IC title on Jannetty in 1983, but Marty didn't want to break up the Rockers and refused so Vince used Muraco as his backup plan.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Harbaugh cries about everything. He's worse than his brother....almost.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Ahh thanks! I've been trying to find some footage of it, but all I can find is the press conference stuff. The NFL also agrees that it's legal.

    ReplyDelete
  98. One of Page's favorite songs to work out to is that pink cadillac song.

    ReplyDelete
  99. I could see Miz winning since many readers never seen Patera in his prime but Big E over Rude, I don't see that happening.

    ReplyDelete
  100. My point though, is Jarrett and Austin were matched up. I don't see AUSTIN getting past the round of 16.
