Tournament Idea

[Milenko]

I sent this to IC25 but then decided I would like everyone's input. I really think this is a good idea and I want to do this. Any help to get this started would be Helpful and appreciated.


I would like to do a Legends Tournament, but I have no idea how to get it started. It probably wouldn't take place until after Shango's Movie Tournament to give me time to get everything set up. There would be certain criteria.
1) Can't be an active Wrestler.

2) Can not be Deceased (people would take how they died into account which is not what I want.) There's probably gonna be more but those are the only 2 I can think of right now. If done right I think this can generate a lot of discussion and get people to think about past wrestlers (http://forums.wrestlezone.com/private.php?do=showpm&pmid=106478#) instead of just the current ones.

[Y 2 Jake]

If you do it and want it to be serious then you'll need to hold it off until after Shockys. Your really wouldn't stand a chance.

[Milenko]

Yeah I was going to wait a while so i can get some help with setting this thing up and coming up with more criteria.

[Y 2 Jake]

If there are too many tournaments then the end result will be that nobody will give a shit about any of them.

[Milenko]

true, but I would like to give this one a shot.

[Y 2 Jake]

You can. But I suggest you leave it until at least a month after the tag one has finished.

[Milenko]

OK that gives me time to get everything set up.

[HBK-aholic]

Sounds good. I'll definitely vote in it. If you want anyone to do anything let me know.

I think dead wrestlers should be involved though.

[Slyfox696]

I think dead wrestlers should be involved though.I agree. You really should have deceased workers in there, otherwise it just won't be a true legends tournament.

I know you're afraid of the Eddie/Owen votes, but just have to hope people are smarter than that.

[klunderbunker]

Isn't the movie tournament supposed to start after the tag?

[HBK-aholic]

Yeah. This one will be after both of those are over.

[Slyfox696]

Yeah. This one will be after both of those are over.When's the "Tournament of Tournaments" tournament scheduled?

[klunderbunker]

I believe after the dryer lint tournament and the best doritos tournament.

[HBK-aholic]

When we have about 100 tournaments. Oh yeah... it's next week.

[Uncle Sam]

The only good dorito is a dead dorito.

[klunderbunker]

Then they're all great.

[Mighty NorCal]

When's the "Tournament of Tournaments" tournament scheduled?

Joke theiving MOTHERFUCKER!!!

[Slyfox696]

Joke theiving MOTHERFUCKER!!!
It would actually be spelled "thieving"...


...and que?

[Mighty NorCal]

I am indifferent on spelling. really. I sometimes notice things arent spelled correctly and just leave them, for hilarity.

and Ive said the "tournament or tournaments" thing about 20 times before, while making fun of Derf's tournamnets

[Slyfox696]

and Ive said the "tournament or tournaments" thing about 20 times before, while making fun of Derf's tournamnetsDid you ever think that I was just running with your idea because I think it's a good one?


Yeah, me neither. I just didn't know you had said that.

[Mighty NorCal]

Did you ever think that I was just running with your idea because I think it's a good one?


Yeah, me neither. I just didn't know you had said that.

I figured. to have seen me saying that, you would have had to go into the threads made about said various tournaments.

[justinsayne]

I still see no possible way for the Movie tournament to work, there are just too many movies and too many different movie genres, the reason the Music one worked was because it was limited to Rock, how are you gonna successfully pull off a movie tournament with all genres included, and seperate them by decade at the same time, to me it just looks like a giant clusterfuck waiting to happen

[klunderbunker]

We've tried as hard as we can to narrow it down. No movies pre 1970s either. I think the brackets will work. They're fairly well balanced out.

[Mighty NorCal]

no ninja turtles movie :( I hate you.

II HAAAATEE YOOOUU!!!!

[HBK-aholic]

And you said I went off topic :disappointed:

[klunderbunker]

II HAAAATEE YOOOUU!!!!

There might have been a last minute change.

So that elimates just about anything Hitchcock did in his entire film making career then, nice, lets not give credit to one of the greatest film makers in history, good idea:thumbsup::rolleyes:

[klunderbunker]

We thought about it, but in the end we thought that the majority of the people here wouldn't know enough about movies from that era to appreciate them. It leaves out Jimmy Stewart also, which bothers me. There's a ton of classics that we had to leave out. Also no movies from this year.

[TM]

Id say movies from the 20th century.

[Milenko]

And you said I went off topic :disappointed:
Everyone went off topic.

[Milenko]

I think dead wrestlers should be involved though.
I know you're afraid of the Eddie/Owen votes, but just have to hope people are smarter than that.
Actually I'm more afraid of people not giving Benoit the credit he deserves. Another reason that dead wrestlers won't be involved is this.
We do have a "Tournament of the Dead" brewing, where only deceased wrestlers are involved - a tad morbid, but still.
DOn't know if he wanted me to post that but here it is anyway.

[Slyfox696]

Actually I'm more afraid of people not giving Benoit the credit he deserves. Another reason that dead wrestlers won't be involved is this.I don't think you'll have to worry about that. I'd say put them in, else you won't have a true Legends tourny.

[klunderbunker]

Even if dead wrestlers are allowed, I don't know if those three qualify as legends.

[Milenko]

I don't think you'll have to worry about that. I'd say put them in, else you won't have a true Legends tourny.
You got a point, I may add some of them. I don't know how it would effect IC25's "Tournament of the Dead" though

Legend for one is not a legend for another...

Out of all the Hitchcock films, Psycho is the only one that would get any votes. It wouldn't get people talking either. It would be eliminated easily by Batman & Robin.

Ideally I would have made the first one a superhero/comic movie tournament only. That way you can guarantee it'll get a reaction.

[klunderbunker]

Which is the exact reason we didn't allow movies from this year in. I refuse to allow Dark Knight to beat Godfather or Schindler's List 40-2.

[Y 2 Jake]

I doubt most of the posters on this forum have seen, nor care about Schindler's List.

[klunderbunker]

Stuff like that is something we took into account with the list. Decent blend I think.

[Sparky]

That the one with the red dress?

[klunderbunker]

Indeed it is.

[HBK-aholic]

I don't think you'll have to worry about that. I'd say put them in, else you won't have a true Legends tourny.

This ^

[Y 2 Jake]

Indeed it is.

Point proven. It's a child in a red coat. One of the most highly acclaimed films of the past 15 years.

[HBK-aholic]

I doubt most of the posters on this forum have seen, nor care about Schindler's List.

I doo. It's a great film. Which upsets me when I watch it.

[Sparky]

I remember watching it, but the one thing that stands oiut is that Dress.

[Y 2 Jake]

Coat.

[HBK-aholic]

[Sparky]

I've not seen it in years and still know it's a coat...howares lads sort it oot!

[Mighty NorCal]

Ive never seen it, and knew it was a coat.

[Milenko]

OK back on topic. I was thinking of having 2 'Regions' (WWE & NWA) with 20-30 guys in each one. What does everyone think?

[TM]

NWA includes WCW?

[Y 2 Jake]

Back off topic. Anyone else get to watch Schindler's List while at school?

[klunderbunker]

I did back in Senior year of high school.

[TM]

My girlfriend did, I watched it on my own accord.

[Milenko]

NWA includes WCW?
Yes

[Slyfox696]

Back off topic. Anyone else get to watch Schindler's List while at school?
