Just for fun, I thought I'd generate some discussion by running another massive tag team tournament, this one featuring all the teams to ever hold a version of the WWE tag team titles from the start of the Hulkamania era until now. That gave me a nice 128 team limit to work with.
The bracket is as follows, and it was generated completely at random:
So we'll throw up polls every day to hopefully generate some discussion and have fun. Rules for the tournament are that each version of a wrestler is a different person for the purposes of matchmaking (so Big Show & Undertaker can face Undertaker & Kane or Big Show & Kane), and voting criteria is whatever you want. Pick whoever would be booked to win, whoever you like best, who would win in a real fight, whatever. Polls will run until there's a clear majority or until I feel like it. As a reminder, last time we ran this years ago, The Hart Foundation defeated Edge & Christian in the finals.
Good luck to all!
So is this thread functioning as a round one poll or is that coming later? The first matchup I see (Rosey & Hurricane vs. Big Show & Undertaker) is a complete mismatch, lol.
ReplyDeleteGood idea on getting this up and running before the Ascension win the titles because they would win this easily.
ReplyDeleteDo we have to sign up to vote?
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm running polls and I'll update the bracket myself. First four matchups are now posted.
ReplyDeleteOh man, so much Big Show.
ReplyDeleteThe bracket is just for informational purposes. Voting will done with separate polls with four matches per day.
ReplyDeleteThe scary thing is that I forgot about half of these teams, especially those from the post-2002 period.
ReplyDeleteWill this take 6 months like the 90s music tourney?
ReplyDeleteAh, I remember the Demos vs. LOD match that ended up 52-48.. That was hairy..
ReplyDeleteHow many short runs as champ has Cena had with wrestlers he was feuding with?
ReplyDeleteAlso allows me to vote for Murdoch and Adonis eleventy thousand times.
ReplyDeleteOh man some rough first-round matchups. Edge & Christian vs the Busters? Demolition vs the Road Warriors? Damn. Everyone be sure to vote for Badd Company!
ReplyDeleteSo the Rockers win is recognized in the WWE Universe?
ReplyDeleteI bet it end up with Big Show turning heel
ReplyDeleteFor road warriors: is it just wwf stuff or does awa/nwa/wcw get included too?
ReplyDeleteThis was so much fun last time we did it!
ReplyDeleteRockers/Steiners, that would have been AWESOME in 91.
ReplyDeleteWhatever you want.
ReplyDeleteBy me it is.
ReplyDeleteGood enough for me.
ReplyDeleteDo we get 10 different variations of The Spirit Squad?
ReplyDeleteBut...but...David Crockett isn't dead.
ReplyDeleteDavid isn't dead.
ReplyDeleteBy the time this tournament finishes, he might be.
ReplyDeleteNice to see people beat me to the 'David isn't dead!' comments.
ReplyDeleteWHIP HIM! WHIP HIM LIKE A DAAAAAWWWWWWWWG!
ReplyDeleteI kinda miss David Crockett. A Caudle - Crockett booth would beat today's announce team on Mondays.
Yeah, but he did it to feed his family.
ReplyDeleteLOOK at HIM! TONY! LOOK AT HIM!!!
ReplyDeleteOh thats awesome! Great bracket.
ReplyDeleteHart Foundation v DX in the first round, wow. And Demo's v LOD
ReplyDeleteDavid Crockett came off like you put a headset on a fan in the crowd. It was....interesting to say the least.
ReplyDeleteCan't figure out how to vote on mobile.
ReplyDeleteNevermind I'm a fucktard
ReplyDeleteBeautiful woman right in front of me. I'm married, and she's with a boyfriend. Should I make my move?
