Well the ppl really love this thred

 

[Thizz22]

Long Live Ricky Rude, hes got my vote, We vote? Right

 

[dtm8117]

I really have a knack for starting threads that fall flat. You'd think that everyone would get sick of only talking about what they don't like, but I was mistaken. Yes, you vote, if it still makes a difference.

 

[PauLwaLL]

Ricky Steamboat... Just because he was the first wrestler I ever saw...

 

[trd1986]

Ricky Steamboat, that guy is a legend

The Ravishing one, Ric Rude gets my vote.

 

[Mickey-B]

Steamboat

 

[scalizi]

wow...tough 1st rd matchup...I hafta go with Steamboat, just because of all the memorable matches and feuds he carried. Rude was great but i don't think he was in Steamboats league.

 

[realblackhart]

how many votes are you looking for?

Steamboat advances with a 5-2 win. To address the questions that have come up, it's a 32 person tournament because there have been 57 champions. The brackets are randomly generated, which in this case was bad news for Rick Rude, who would have a better than 50-50 chance against so many others.

Round One, Match Two:

"Texas Tornado" Kerry Von Erich

vs.

Eddie Guerrero

I have the feeling posting brackets would be way too tough. Here's a chronological list of the competitors:

Pat Patterson
Ken Patera
Pedro Morales
Don "Magnificent" Muraco
Tito Santana
Greg "the Hammer" Valentine
Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat
The Honky Tonk Man
The Ultimate Warrior
"Ravishing" Rick Rude
Mr. Perfect
Kerry Von Erich
Bret Hart
Rowdy Roddy Piper
Shawn Michaels
Marty Jannetty
Razor Ramon
Jeff Jarrett
Ahmed Johnson
Hunter Hearst Helmsley
Rocky Maivia
Owen Hart
Steve Austin
Edge
"Macho Man" Randy Savage
Chris Jericho
Kurt Angle
Chris Benoit
Eddie Guerrero
Rob Van Dam
Randy Orton
Shelton Benjamin

 

[The Chocolate Monkey]

my vote goes to Eddie

gotta think with how recent fans saw the late great eddie g wrestle he has a good chance here

 

[scalizi]

another tough one...I'm trying to just consider the feuds that took place while they were challenging for or defending the IC belt. Restricted to their IC reigns I think I might actually have to go with Kerry Von Erich.

 

[pardonme73]

Eddie Guerrero definately.

 

[realblackhart]

the texas tornado, kerry von erich gets my vote

 

[JamesAirington]

Eddie G

 

[Mickey-B]

OOOhhhh man, tough one. I'd have to with Eddie G.

 

[1789]

[PauLwaLL]

Eddie.... He was the man... Loved that little angle with Chyna he had during his I.C. Title run at hat time...

 

[August West]

Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat

 

[realblackhart]

i think ur gonna have to do a new thread for every brachet, people still answering the 1st match

 

[dtm8117]

Eddie lies, cheats, and steals a second round berth, 5-2. The next match may not please many of you.

Round One, Match Three:

Marty Jannetty

vs.

Ahmed Johnson
