Had a lousy day at work and out tonight but will post my second before bed.
I try to not be too predictable.Originally Posted by Badger
I went for Seth v Bray as it's a rivalry on here that isn't well received (mainly the hell in a cell match) but I had completely forgot about Rusev/Lashley shows how bad that booking is...
I did however think about Reigns and Corbin too maybe that would've been a little more harder to argue against
I won’t be around much on Saturday when the first two ties are due to end and start the voting process if they are are finished by then. Working Saturday then got an engagement party at night. If the ties end while I’m at the party I’ll close them after that unless Mazer is around of course.
If the ties get done before Saturday though then no worries.
I'll check in sat eve.
Holy shit.
My brain hurts.
My first round match was just me riffing on why the Lashley/Rusev/Lana/Morgan love quadrangle was bad.
This is making me think...
I did say the questions would get harder. Just wait til we get to the semis then the final.

This would have been a solid counter. I think the biggest problem with Rollins/Wyatt was legit that while the angle was kind of dumb and the HIAC result was bollocks, both men ended up profiting from it in the long run. Had Spudz not brought that up, it might not have been as clear-cut.
That reminds me, I’ve not watched Season 14 of Sunny yet. Been distracted with this and Mafia amongst other things. Must get to watching that soon!
I have four kids, one of which is 16 weeks old, a job I'm falling behind on more and more each day but this is fucking brilliant. Loving it. My colleague asked me what I was thinking about yesterday when I was staring into space. I mumbled some rubbish about a work question but really I was agonising over "oh just pick the fucking Undertaker and be done with it"
Last post won't be till tomorrow night. Sleep sleep sleep.
This brought a tear to my eye. As someone with 4 kids, a time-consuming job, and still was trying to play mafia while getting on a plane (and mad that I didn't have more time for it that week)-welcome to the love/hate of these contests.
exhilaration mixed with fatigue. As parents, this is our wheelhouse.
Not that I’m planning on having any kids right now but I would’ve thought one or two would be enough for me. Couldn’t imagine four!
I think Rip’s got everyone on the board beat though could be wrong on that. He has 5. Rusty, Mazer and Rip have enough kids between them to start their own football team with a couple of subs.

4 kids. 18 16 15 and 9.
I feel like I'm the manifestation of a fucking sitcom I don't know I'm in. Was that a John Candy movie? They're awesome.
Too bad that isn't a topic....which one of my kids could beat the other 3's ass? Spoiler: the 9 year old.
Speaking of my children I am so fucking glad mth is going first.
Maybe I'm at an advantage here.
I'm not married. No kids. And I don't go back to work until May.
(I do financial consulting on a per diem basis at a local theme park during their operating season, helping to modify and change their budget and earning expectations weekly. Its stressful and a lot of number crunching, but I also get to spend time on "the ground" in the park, which is a nice way to enjoy the warm weather and do some... uhh... "unique" people watching, so I'm not stuck in an office all day.)
Okay including Nash’s, make that a rugby team plus a couple of subs.
Fair play though you virile people.
Tomorrow I will make my post. Sorry for the delay but life gets in the way sometimes.
I refuse to have a child born into such a hate filled world.
No worries dude !
Eh every generation feels the same. Trust me, I don't think our parents were super high on us coming in to the 80's
I'm pretty sure most parents were high on us during the 80s.
Haven’t seen Kev around in a bit. I’ll PM him just to make sure he’s still okay to go.
Tell him to come join TMNT Mafia while you're at it
Done.
Can you also tell him not to reply to the debate so I get an easy win?
Let’s go
I was quite looking forward to debating Vader against McMahon last year, shame never got going.
The bird(man) has landed.
@mth
So glad you went first so you could set the tone. I had the misfortune of remembering the last time this topic popped up and all I could think about was thank God I'm not going first lol.
Seeing as I don't remember the last time and am not sure what you're meaning, I don't know how to feel about you going second and what's coming...but the fact that you're happy about it has me worried a bit...
Better b ware, I sense this debate will be full of high energy!
lol.
Oh nothing to be worried about at all. I was the one who was worried because I literally had to make a list of like 10 people in the hall of fame that I would argue for and the last time they had this topic was for a finale and it was a TOUGH back and forth. So it made it a little easier for you to go first so I could have all this time to really think about who I wanted because I couldn't decide.
Holy fucking shit this is going to be a tough week lol
Will get my last one up before I go to bed. Midnight-ish (UK time)
I was gonna laugh so hard if Nash went with Johnny Rodz.
I almost went with James Dudley until I remembered he was black. Can't be going against 1 of 5 black people in the entire non-celeb Hall of Fame lol.
oh fuck me.
Done. It's 1am here and I should be sleeping while the baby sleeps. Fuck that though...priorities.
Wow...
I need to go take a nap.
@Rusty Shackleford - No matter who wins in our match, I think the people who read our debate are the real winners.
I agree. But I'm not sending all these motherfuckers a trophy.
Let's go boating.....I mean voting!
Can't wait to see how this turns out.
- - - Updated - - -
If @Kev doesn't respond today before 5 PM EST, I'm not going to be able to do a full reply until Monday.
I haven't heard back from him myself and the 5 day limit ends on Sunday. I'll leave the tie open til Sunday so at least there's one each (I know that's not ideal but at least there's something for people to vote on). If he does respond today before 5pm EST then hopefully you get two each. If he does not respond at all by Sunday then you go through by default.
I am the 5 PM EST of NXT
Good turn of speed from Romford and kdestiny. Hopefully can get voting started on that tonight.
mth/Nash due to end tomorrow night. Hopefully they can get one more in at least if not the full three as two very good choices.
Yeah I'm going to be a little sad if we don't get to go the distance but that's the "luck" of the draw.
Just a little over 24 hours left so hopefully still time to bang something out. I realise mth's been up against it a bit but these things happen.
Badger I'm going to immerse myself in work for now so if Kev replies please text me.
Yeah, hoping I can maybe slap something together yet this afternoon. Currently dealing with some rather serious e-mailing with my mom about our religious differences. Also, there's the fact that I don't really know what the fuck to say in response to Diesel....er, I mean, uh, I HAVE A GREAT RESPONSE IN MIND AND WILL TOTALLY KILL IT (WHOOPS BAD CHOICE OF WORDS).
Sorry mth's mom there is no God.
Seriously hope you can work it out though. Stupod thing for her to get on your case about. Shouldn't matter your beliefs, you're family.
LMFAO.
And yeah tell your mom to calm down or I'm not bringing meatloaf for dinner.
Gonna be unlikely to get a third by me before the end of the day for me unless it's real late. Gonna be driving for several hours soon.

Didn't realize he had a response
If there's no God @Badger, then who gave Braun his sexy beard, Nese his sexy abs, and my ugly ass a sexy wife?
1. Nese works out and probably good genetics.
2. Braun knows beard care.
3. You earned that sexy wife.
And done
Nice one mate.
Fly monkeys fly...and vote!
These last 2 debates I've voted on were pretty special so good job to those involved.
Whatever way it goes, good job @kdestiny
We have a different definition of special in Scotland sometimes but am gonna take it as a compliment!
LOL. Naw this is the positive version.
They have that in America too, after all Ralph Wiggum was put in special teams "I'm special!" (cue Simpsons pic from Spudz)
He meant it in the good way and I do too. Reading it myself and you both make great points and counter-points and it's really quite 50/50. If the vote count is low, it's a testament to how close it was.
Great job by you both.
It's not so much that she's coming at me and fired up as it's just an elephant that's been in the room for years and it occasionally needs to be confronted and that doesn't always go well. It's personal shit so it's tough to work through it but we're trying so that's good. So yeah, I wrote a 4 page e-mail to my mother this afternoon. Not sure my next debate post will get the same degree of effort...
Sorry man that you had to do that but also good that you got it off your chest. Hopefully she can understand.It's not so much that she's coming at me and fired up as it's just an elephant that's been in the room for years and it occasionally needs to be confronted and that doesn't always go well.

My take now that you've done that is try and keep a bit of a distance to give her time to mull it over. If she fires back screaming, I'd suggest not responding right away. You and Mel have your own lives to live the way you want to. If you don't immediately respond then (if she screams at you) maybe she will calm down but these things take time. Let her stew and time may take its course.
Hopefully this hasn't thrown your focus off too much, looking forward to your response as no doubt Nash will.
Given the circumstances, I'd be happy to extend this if needed.
Thanks for the support, Badger.
Fear not. I've got a good chunk of my second post written (about 399 words) but I have to pop into work for a couple hours soon, hoping to bang out the last bit afterwards.
Take your time. Can give you guys a bit more if you want.Thanks for the support, Badger.

Well, I'm back to work tomorrow and going for supper with the in-laws in the evening, working Sun/Mon/Tues, so yeah, a third post might not be a thing...
Faie enough. As long as you guys can get two in. If you can get the second post in after your work, I will allow Nash a bit more time if needed after tomorrow to get in his second.
- - - Updated - - -
@Kev if I don't hear from you by Sunday, Donald goes through.
Badger I'll read these finished rounds and get votes to you this weekend.
Second post made. Also just remembered that I'm not only going out after work on Saturday night but also on Sunday night so yeah, no way I'm getting anything else posted unless it's after work on Monday but I'll likely not have the energy at that point. So this is likely going to be a two posts each situation. Sorry.
No prob homeboy.
If you throw up a 3rd that's awesome if not I understand.
If you think you can manage Monday/Tuesday I may leave it open. However if you feel you can’t, I’ll call for voting later today when the time is up.
Okay I'm going to have to go up to the hospital for 9pm. If mth says before to end his tie then I will but if he prefers to leave it open til Mon/Tues.
I'll have votes into you by Sunday night for me
Out the hospital now.
Ta Psycho.
Same for me. After 2 weeks of severe bronchitis it finally broke late friday night. Ate a hungry man dinner for a quick eat and woke up with food poisoning. Just been in and out all dayI'll have votes into you by Sunday night for me
Unfortunately I've had to put Kev out as not a word from him so Donald is the first to progress to the semis.
Given mth/Nash a couple of more days given mth's schedule but if nothing more is forthcoming then will start voting.
Also more public votes please for the other two ties.
Think this is the furthest I've made it, though but of luck with huss huss hus huss choosing British Baker and Kev not appearing. I will have to step up my game for the next one
3 hours too late
Sorry lads, been in a conference for all of last week and this weekend. Couldn't find anytime for this
Sorry man. You did ask me via PM before it started when your tie was and I told you and you said okay. If you told me you were going to be at a conference all week then I could’ve rearranged it for you.Sorry lads, been in a conference for all of last week and this weekend. Couldn't find anytime for this
Badger, conference call means "man I don't know how to counter a Tony Nese argument so I'm just going to be quiet"
Have a chunk of a third post in my head so hoping I might be able to find time to piece together a post yet today/tomorrow. I assume asking for Weds. is too much.
Preferably by tomorrow if you can, Weds at an absolute max if you must but no later than that.
Also semis will kick off next week. Will do draw when these ties are settled.
I'll see what I can do. If I don't post anything by Weds., you can call it but I'll try to put something together after work today and if needed, finish it up tomorrow.
I'm just over here like....
328 words. Will finish it up tonight or tomorrow.
Boom boom boom. Third post made, bitches.
Nice one sir. Take it home Nash!
Also Rusty is our second semi-finalist. Ended it now because the judges were unanimous and he was winning the public vote. I'm wsiting on one more judge vote for Romford/kdestiny plus the oublic vote has tied so will leave that open a bit longer.
mrh/Nash is now open for voting.
Aye, 4-0 isn't a reflection of the debate. Thanks though.
I really want it to be known that Spudz/Rusty was a tough pick. The debate skills were top notch, and on a different topic, the winner could have easily changed. You did great work in the tournament, Spudz.
Absolutely. Totally my fault mate, I thought I could handle it all - but by the time I'd get home I'd just curl up into a ball and snooze... thank you for the opportunity anyway.
More public votes please?
Bit disappointing we've only gotten two.
Quite.
Depending on how the overall judges vote goes (waiting on virm to vote in your one) I’ll keep voting open the rest of the week to hopefully get more public votes. Same with mth/Nash.
If judges are unanimous in either or both ties though then I’ll just end it.
kdestiny becomes our third semi-finalist joining Donald and Rusty (Also watch it Banks!)
Only mth/Nash to go now. Let's try and get the public vote up for this one!
Thanks all. I found this question a tough one, as I had hardly watched WWE since the Fox move and the only stuff I had seen was the Kevin Owens/Rollins stuff.
Congrats to @kdestiny
