Official Unoffical Wrestlezone Tag Team Tournament 2 Discussion Thread

[klunderbunker]

THE MEGA POWERS WILL CREATE DISCUSSION. Which is what this forum needs. I mean seriously look at what has happened with there name already out there. I mean for REAL.


Also The Minnesota Wrecking Crew Ole and Gene Anderson should be in this. Ahuh.

I thought the rule was nothing before 1985.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Mega Powers will create less discussion than more recent, and "realer" teams.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I thought the rule was nothing before 1984.

Fixed.

 

[Big Sexy]

Head Cheese is the greatest tag team of all time, there's no need for a tournament.

 

[Monkey_Mania]

Oh Ok then. I think the MP should be in here. Not as a high seed at all. But they should be in this.

So that also means no MWC?

 

[klunderbunker]

That's my understanding of the rules. That makes things better Monkey. I was thinking you meant as a top seed.

 

[Beeyond_Good_and_Evil]

Mwc??????

 

[Monkey_Mania]

Minnesota Wrecking Crew.


And yeah. In NO WAY should they be a top seed. But they will garner some discussion. They might even get a surprise win or two. But NEVER as a top seed. LOL.

 

[klunderbunker]

*sigh of relief* you had me scared there for a minute.

 

[Beeyond_Good_and_Evil]

Are you talking about Ole and Arn's version in 1985?...or Ole and Gene in 1969?...because neither will work for diff. reasons

Ole and Arn don't work because Arn is already in with thr Brainbusters that you picked.

Ole and Gene don't work because they started in 1969 and that's 15 years before shocky's deadline.

 

[Beeyond_Good_and_Evil]

Which freaking mods are left that haven't put in their auto picks

Will,Shango who else??

KB are you a mod?

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm not and neither is Shango. You can tell who are mods by their names being in bold, admins are bold and italics.

 

[Beeyond_Good_and_Evil]

cool...thnx

Mega Power should go on reserve. They should only get in if we can't think of anyone else. Even though they aren't a "real" tag team, they'll smash their way through all the less major teams until they meet, say, LAX. Would be pointless.

So wait...

We'd take out a legitimate tag team for ones that weren't near as good and would get crushed by the Mega Powers?

What kind of sense does that make?



If someone like LAX isn't good enough to beat the Mega Powers, then the Mega Powers shouldn't excluded because LAX sucks.


That reasoning makes ZERO sense Sam.

I'd hardly call it a hate train. I wouldn't be pissed if they got in as they were a team at tiems, but I just think there are some better teams that should go in first.

List the 32 teams, that are not automatics, that are ahead of the Mega Powers.

Go.

 

[klunderbunker]

Keep reading. I said they should be in as a lower seed, i.e. a 15 or a 16, maybe even a 14, not exculded completely.

That doesn't make sense either. Why would they go in at 15 behind the likes of someone, say, Too Cool?


I mean, it's hard to say right now, without a definitive roster of teams, but the fact is that the Mega Powers were big and memorable. And they WERE a tag team.

 

[Monkey_Mania]

Yeah. Agreeing with Sly for once.

 

[klunderbunker]

My argument is that while yes, they indeed were a team, their accomplishments as a team were very limited. For the most part of their partnership they were singles wrestlers. If my memory is right, and if I'm wrong I'll say I'm wrong, I can't remember them wrestling more than 5 matches as a team, excluding their match on the same Survivor Series Team. As a tema there may never have been a team with two bigger singles wrestlers put together, but as a team I just don't think they were together long enough or frequently enough to be seen as one of the top teams ever.

Im fair certain that he was saying the Mega Powers would breeze through teams like Too Cool and, say, The Godwins (who will likely make it in here somehow) only to be stopped by a more legitimate tag team like LAX.

Ok, do me this then.

The Rockers will probably be seeded in the Top 5 positions (Top 20). Show me how the Rockers are better than the Mega Powers.

It depends on who shows up to vote. The people who vote Edge a better heel than Hogan would vote for LAX, but smart posters would vote for Mega Powers.

To begin with, I wouldn't think the Rockers should be in the top 20. Top 30 or 40 yes, but not 20. I'd say the Rockers are better as they were together longer, I would say had better chemistry, (if you say the MP had an advantage here I wouldn't argue though) and were booked as a long term team rather than being put together to build towards a single match. To me, the MP are a long term version of the same storyline that we just saaw with Batista and Cena, although on a much higher level.

You never made a legitimate argument there.

Basically you just said "well, they were a jobber tag team longer, so they deserve to be higher". That's not an argument, that's a joke.

And, let's face it. The Rocker's weren't much more than a jobber tag team.

 

[klunderbunker]

They weren't more than a jobber team. I've never said they were. And that is a legitimat argument. They were booked as a team on a long term basis. Hogan and Savage teamed together less than 6 months in their initial run. The Rockers were together for years. To me longevity regardless of success plays a part in the selection process. I would say the Rockers would be just barely ahead of MP, maybe a 12 to a 14 or 15.

I love this mentality. Where's your legitimate arguement? I'm not saying that there isnt one, I'm just saying that you haven't presented one and yet expect one to refute you. The whole 'you're wrong, so prove to me why you're not wrong so I dont have to prove why Im right' approach went out in the ninth grade. Fact of the matter is that its difficult to prove an opinion, and thats alright.
