Did great rom. No shame what so ever my friend!
Did great rom. No shame what so ever my friend!
I had a dream last night that the next topic for debate was which NJPW talent would thrive the most in the WWE. It was the final four all debating, and I was freaking out because I have never watched NJPW.
Don't worry Defrost was eliminated in Round One.Originally Posted by Donald
Thanks everyone!
Like I mentioned, I would've loved a little more of a public turnout boo matter who they voted for.
I would've voted in the other debates if I hadn't been so busy and trying to find time to write my own posts. If ND beats me, I'll be sure to vote in everything going forward.
I’ll keep this last one open for the rest of the week to try and get more public votes unless the judges vote unamiously.
Semis will start Monday and I’ll run them for the whole week. 3 posts each but 600 words a post. Anyone that may struggle next week let me know ASAP and I’ll sort something out.
That one is really tough. I have to read through again multiple times and hope to have something by this evening.
I'm gonna try to have a vote in mth/ND for you by the end of my night tomorrow. It's just realllllly hard to come to a decision.
I think this may just be the one that splits people the most, maybe even more than the 4-way.
I have told the Special Guest Judge to stand by. If he is busy, I'll put the robes on if needed.
The special guest judge? Like the one I had lined up for my own debate tournament?!?!?!!
Maybe....maybe not.
I find this one to be pretty difficult as well. I've read it a bunch of times. I aim to get my vote in sometime today as well.
I'll put on the robes, but no promises on what's underneath.
- - - Updated - - -
Was it going to be Rajah himself?
No it was a very powerful female.
Nyla Rose?
No it was her brother Mandy Rose.
Well, my guess of Melania Trump was way off.
I only fuck with the snow bunny Trump aka Ivanka.
Well, I was even farther off then.
I asked Michelle Obama...then she saw what I had for lunch and bowed out.
Okay since Rusty's retracted his whole argument and sided with Ted guess I'll have to put Spudz through now.
Kidding of course. I hope mth/Nash does get more public votes as it's tied and can't be arsed handing out half a point each on a draw for the public vote lol. I realise it's a hard one but please take some time to vote on it as it's worth the read.
Can folk who are participating vote? I've left the other ties alone as it felt weird.
Yes they can.
Update: One judge vote in, two to go.
Just over 30 hours left til the 120 hour limit for voting is up @Psycho666Sokdier, @virmicious and the public vote. Moving forward with what we've got either way as need to do the draw and start the semi ties.
I will get this today. Just got home from work.
Cool.
Just remember St Johnstone have a cup game tomorrow afternoon so probably will be tomorrow night til I get a chance to tally up the votes and announce the winners.
Sorry, been dedicating my time to getting the mafia game prepped. I'm gonna work on my vote now.
Thanks Psycho, I very much enjoyed reading all that thought.
Just virm to go for the judges now. The public (including still current participants) have til tomorrow to overturn the current public vote 2-2 deficit. If this goes to a tie after that, I'll break it.
Vote is in you slave driver @Badger
Thank you.
I’ll push this in the thread in a sec but judges are split now. Will allow til tomorrow night for the public vote to be overturned.
@Mazer if you are able to join in on the public vote too, that could help. I’ll break if there’s still a tie.
The Mazer will speak.
I'm confused. The vote goes one point for the collective public vote, and one point for each judge, right? So if all three of us voted and the public vote tied, doesn't that mean there's a guaranteed winner?
Not that I'm against more public votes, just curious.
Yes. So yeah...all we need is the 3rd judge to layeth the smacketh down. I was never good at rules or math haha
The time limit has not ran out yet, there’s still time til tomorrow night on the 5 day limit for the public vote to be broken which is at 2-2 so that overall point is still up for grabs. If it is broken by tomorrow night that person gets the point. There is a 2-1 vote at the moment for the judges in points lead for one of mth and Nash at the moment. If the public vote score is still tied tomorrow night then the person who has got the judges majority goes through. If there’s a 3-2 vote on the public score on someone but the judges voted in favour of the other person then that makes it 2-2 meaning I will break the overall tie.
Essentially judges have one in favour but public is tied at the moment. Giving public til
tomorrow where they could or I break it after the time limit. Hope that makes sense.

The judges have layerh the smackers down. Judges are split 2-1, public are tied but time limit has not ran out yet so public can still change that. If public go with the judge who has not voted with the other two judges by tomorrow night then I break the overall tie.
If judge vote was unanimous then this would have been over but it’s not so allowing this til the time limit.
Sorry for confusion.
Essentially 2.5-1.5 in favour of one of the guys at the moment. If public vote changes in a way, that becomes 2-2 where I break the overall tie. If there’s no change by tomorrow night, the guy with 2.5 points and votes wins.
If the public vote with the guy in the lead in the moment by tomorrow night when the 5 day limit expires then it becomes 3-1.
Still time for the public which is why I’ve left it open but also reaches out to people to get an overall public decision.

Ahhh, gotcha.
You forgot my vote is twice as good as psycho so it counts as 2.
Yes virm that post.
Gotcha loud and clear. No more posts.
You have behaved yourself this tournament so props. You have earned more lives than WWE are giving Jeff Hardy about now so big yourself up.
Being real though, we had a concern you would run late with stuff like in the past but you’ve done real good. Patting you on the back.
About to get ready and head out, will post tie-breaker vote when I get home if there’s no further change.
Celtic scum just scored. Will go home and break this tie in a bit.
Holy crap that was hard! I have new sympathy for the judges because that was not easy.
Anyway, by the hairs on my chubby chin in, I give this to Nash. I’m knackered and will do semi final draw tomorrow. Will also post ties when I get back from work.
You're all going down. If I face @Nash Diesel, it should be an easy victory as I assume he's still mad about Super Showdown and is throwing mugs at walls and punching babies. It's like calm down dude. Just accept Goldberg was and will always be better than you.

Big props to @mth
Nice job both. I think the standard of debate throughout this has been extremely high from what I've seen.
Pretty sure I aged 10 years doing this one lol
Word. Such an uphill battle for me. Soon as you dropped Colon I was like "I'm done."
I went through the list of potentials and narrowed it down to 2 acts: The Bushwackers and Carlos Colon. I thought of 3 people you might pick, Koko, James Dudley, or Johnny Rodz. It wasn't until 2-3 posts later I realized Torrie Wilson was on the list of Famers lol. So thankfully you didn't pick her lol.
To be honest I was like "Yeah I'll do Colon, he's the least known of the international talent they've allowed in" And then it hit me, oh shit this motherfucker had a major role in the Bruiser Brody murder. Then I saw Brody wasn't even in the main HOF but part of the LEGACY wing and it just sent me in a rage.
But you did great, a lot of shit that I wish I had countered better but I was sweating!
I wish I could've had better luck using the board's search function 'cuz I really wanted to get some posts of folks (and hopefully you specifically) saying Koko didn't deserve to be in the Hall. But either it's not that great a function or I'm an idiot who doesn't know how to use it.
LMFAO!
I had a quick look mth - I think you'd have been on a hiding to nothing, ND seems to have been broadly in favour of Koko being in
Yeah I've always been an advocate for Koko B Ware going in. I remember growing up we had like 3 black people after Butch Reed and that was Koko, Bad News Brown, and Saba Simba. There just weren't a lot of black dudes coming in to pro wrestling, still aren't, just the way it's always been. But Koko B Ware was fucking cool. He looked cool, he could sing, he had the gimmick, he had the moves. First time I saw a brainbuster was Koko B Ware. Smashed a fool.I had a quick look mth - I think you'd have been on a hiding to nothing, ND seems to have been broadly in favour of Koko being in
Still at work for another couple of hours, but it's actually pretty quiet so going to start writing up the semi finals now and should get them posted shortly. I have done the draw putting names into the Paper Cup of Doom and the fixtures which will be running for a week starting tonight are:
Donald vs Nash
kdestiny vs Rusty
This should be fun.
4 sexy ass motherfuckers. We're like Color Me Badd
L-R
KD, Rusty, Donald, and myself
Will try to get something up today @Nash Diesel
Yes!
I just saw the Mi Amore video at my best friend's on some MTV channel that shows blocks of 80's and 90's videos. So we had to look them up, see what was up with Color Me Badd in recent years. Sure as shit these videos started popping up about some "fight".
I have a feeling these last rounds are going to go by pretty fucking fast knowing the 4 of us.
That's the two ties posted.
@mth @Pablo Diablo @Version 6 whoever gets this first, can one of you please unsticky the 4 Round 2 ties and replace them with the 2 semi final ties please?
Thanks in advance.
Christ almighty, first up again. I won't get to this tonight but definitely tomorrow.
Sorry my coin seems to hate you!
Glad I was able to get these up before I left work. Means I can spend the rest of the night playing the FF7 Remake Demo!
mth vs. ND is my match of the tournament so far.
Donald vs. Nash is going to result in them becoming a tag team in the next tag team debate tourney.
props to badger for keeping this moving along. Finishing a Wilfred's in March would be record-setting.
I really like the tag-team debate tournament.
Donald and I have been tight like nuts and bolts for a long, long time so there's a little part of me that's feeling bad I have to go all Diesel on his ass.
Won't be able to do anything today, just got swamped at work, hopefully tomorrow morning or lunch time. Sorry ND
Just don't wait until the night before lol
You’re welcome.
Would’ve got my vote up earlier and when I said I got sidetracked I actually fell asleep when I returned from the football and didn’t wake up til nearly 11pm!
That reminds me. Must give the trophy a polish before I fly it back to Mazer for his turn of the custody trophy. We have 50/50 custody and fly it back across.
Yeah mth/Nash has been my favourite too followed by the Fatal 4-way redemption tie. The quality this year has been great.
I enjoy it as well. We're going to have to dust it off in a few months.
As Badger said, this tourney has been high quality. Its made me want to challenge some folks.
Me too. Might have to Foley it and unretire again!
Glad I didn't' get through 'cuz I'd bomb hard on these new topics...
LOL. I felt the same way.
You’ll probably not like the final either should you progress lol
"Explain for or against Goldberg beating the Fiend"
Badger: My coin flip says ND goes first and he will argue FOR Goldberg beating Fiend.
Sound about right? Lol
Which leads to mth sitting in a darkened corner of his house, mumbling to Melly...."it should have been me".
LOL. No shit. Fuckin Bray Hater.
Not sure I have ever won a coin toss haha
Pacing round the house with the baby in my arms trying to think of my angle. Semi fucking final calls for a new style I think.
These topics actually make me wish I was competing this year. These are like tailor-made for me. I remember stuff from the 90s because I grew up on it, but it's through rose-tinted glasses. And then anything from the 80s or back is big gamble that's not in my favor. The last decade is like my prime time as a cynical smark where I actually remember everything.
Badger and I like the idea of having some coherent themes after the first round, and not getting too out there in topic. End of Decade presented a good opportunity to do that.
I think we'll do the same when we do the tag tourney. You need to bring back the RiPsych team.
I just realized something very important. My win over @mth has more significance that I thought. I have avenged my loss to him in the FICTION FIGHT tournament. @mth was HIM, and I was Kid Dynamite. I had no chance. Sweet revenge.
Speaking of revenge, and this talk of RiPsych reforming. I wonder if I can get @Kotre to dust off his shield and sword and join me in battle once again. I see that he hasn't posted in almost a year so he is either MIA or lost in a Mafia game elsewhere......
Donald has asked a question so I’ll clarify in here just to make everyone as well.
I’ll accept office personnel as well as in-ring performers for the MVP question.
That son of a bitch.
Get out of my head space lol
This only means we need to have a rubber match...
Not gonna lie, struggled hard to try to argue Tony Nese as MVP so went with something else.
I heard Motorhead on the way in to work and you beat me to the punch you motherfucker
Just fucking with you. You know me I always have like 3-4 people, I just couldn't remember if it said WRESTLER and how specific they wanted to be about it.
Yeah, it's good to have a few people in mind. I spent the morning debating on who to pick, to be honest.
Will post tonight before going to bed. I'm like the walking dead just now with the baby not sleeping.
Enjoyed that
