Official Legends Tournament Discussion thread

[Hyorinmaru]

My impatience is kicking in again I'll start up after the Tag Tourney is done. I don't care if the movie Tourney is still going.

Alright Denny. I know I said that I would not participate in this. Now I feel bad. This is a great tournament and I give you kudos for starting it. From now on I will participate in it. No questions asked my man. As a matter of fact, I think in the back of my mind I was joking anyways. Kudos to you though big guy.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

Thanks MMM. I love old School Wrestling and while I don't know everything I now enough to want everyone to love it as much as I do. I like the Superstars of Today but without the guys in this tournament Todays Pro Wrestling would be drastically different.

 

[Monkey_Mania]

Agreed. I find myself in my spare time watching stuff from way back. By that I mean stuff back in the 60's and even 50's. If you look hard enough you will be able to find the stuff. Which is why I encourage everyone who hasnt heard of these legends. PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT. Don't vote based on name alone. Do some research. You'll be shocked at some of the gems you shall find.

I am switching out El Canek for Santo, el Enmascarado de Plata. El Canek is still a semi Active wrestler which means he can't be in under the no active wrestlers rule. I took out RVD under the same rule and i am not going to bend any of the rules. Sorry to IC25 who wanted him in but rules are rules and even though I can do whatever I want I'm not going to break any of the rules I set up. On the bright side now the three Legendary Wrestlers who innovated Pro Wrestling in there Countries are in this Tournament. (Rikidozan is out though :GRRR: )

So with Thanksgiving being this Thursday I'm going to wait Until next week to start this up again. So until next monday or Tuesday feel free to keep up the discussion in here. The round 2 match ups we have so far are sick!

I'm enjoying the tournament so far. I'd like it to move along a bit faster, but meh. Great job, Juggalo, so far.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

The first 3 matches of the last Round are up. I'm at school right now and have to go home soon so I'll put the rest of them up when I get home. Round 2 starts next week so go out there and vote.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

I would like everyone to welcome Rusty to the Legends Tournamant "Staff". He's putting up the last 3 round 1 matches and he will help for the rest of the tournament. WIth me being a procratinator Rusty will be able to take the reigns if I slack off to much. (Like i did here. These were supposed ot be up yesterday. Sorry)

Note about Ties: In the event of a tie the Legend who has the most replies supporting them goes on to the next round. If they have the same amount IC25 gets to choose. The moral is, if you want someone to go through to the next round be sure to reply because you never know if it will make a difference.
