Prediction Deadline: 3/28/2014 12PM (Central Time Zone). Friday is the beginning of voting for the tournament, so the cut off will be at 12PM (Central Time) on Friday.

Late predictions will not be eligible.

Good luck gentlemen.

I will try to put together some kind of unique prize for the winner.

 

[Dan Severn's Moustache]

Throwing my predictions out early. My final 16 has Hogan, Lesnar, HBK, HHH, Stone Cold, Angle, Savage, Taker, Cena, Bruno, Goldberg, Sting, Inoki, Jericho, Andre and Rocky.

I'm expecting a fair few votes to be stupid though.

EDIT: I've got Rock down to win it. He beats Martel, Hennig, Bryan (due to popularity, I see him beating Warrior), Andre in a gimmick round, Inoki, Bruno and an exhausted Hogan after Austin.

 

[Randy Orton's Head Blood]

Need to know, when do the Gimmick Rounds start?

 

[Dan Severn's Moustache]

Need to know, when do the Gimmick Rounds start?

Round 3 for minor gimmicks, Round 4 for major gimmicks.

 

[Randy Orton's Head Blood]

Round 3 for minor gimmicks, Round 4 for major gimmicks.

So we could have say, a strap match in Round 3 & HiAC in Round 4?

As an example.

 

[Dan Severn's Moustache]

Yeah, Austin went out third round last year against Vader because of a strap match. They are extremely important.

 

[Tastycles]

Austin beats Rock in the final.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

I have Austin beating Cena in the finals.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

I've also got Austin over Cena in the final.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

The hardest part of this, for me anyway, isn't picking who I think would win, but who I think the forum at large thinks would win.

Like I love D-Bry, but he shouldn't get past Warrior in the second round. Will the masses vote for him for his current run though?

Potential fun match in the 3rd round with Vader and Andre. Oh boy oh boy.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

Here are some of my upsets.

1. Ulitmate Warrior over Daniel Bryan
2. El Santo over Sting
3. Lou Thesz over Undertaker
4. Kurt Angle over Stone Cold
5. Terry Funk over Hulk Hogan

And my winner is....

[Viola Moonlight]

I tried to change the "Stone Cold over John Cena" trend in my predictons but I couldn't stop it.

 

[Big Sexy]

I've got a final four of the four biggest stars in the cable TV era: Hogan, Austin, Rock, and Cena. Austin over Rock in the finals.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Potential fun match in the 3rd round with Vader and Andre. Oh boy oh boy.

I'm hoping we get that match up so badly. That'd be a brutal fight.

 

[deem]

i'm on Hogan-Lesnar-HBK-Big Show-Austin-Angle-Savage-Undertaker-Cena-Sammartino-Bret Hart-El Santo-Inoki-Jericho-Andre-The Rock as my final 16. Relying on a lot of gimmicks to fall my way to get that though (and i disagree strongly with a lot of the choices i made).

Hogan-HBK-Austin-Undertaker-Sammartino-El Santo-Inoki-The Rock quarters

Hogan-Austin-Sammartino-Rock semis
Hogan-Sammartino finals

Hogan goes over.

Not officially entering my predictions

 

[The Brain]

The hardest part of this, for me anyway, isn't picking who I think would win, but who I think the forum at large thinks would win.

I picked a lot of guys to advance to the second round that I won't actually be voting for when the tournament begins.

 

[Rayne]

I've got Hogan slamming Andre in the final round, cage matches be damned.

 

[Bernkastel]

I had mostly modern and 80's stars in my Sweet 16. I didn't go with wrestlers I thought should win, and instead I went with the ones that the community will be more likely to vote for. I am hoping for the sake of non repetitiveness that I don't place high this year, but I will probably end up somewhere around the top 10. I did this in 2012 and I placed 7th. Went with the "how I'm actually going to vote" in 2013 and wasn't even top 30.

I had Stone Cold over Cena in the finals. Yawn.

Edit: And I'm under the name Kenneth. That's how the website must have remembered me.

 

[klunderbunker]

I'll throw in a free e-book of the winner's choice as a prize.

 

[deem]

Oo fun. Think last year was a title shot in the e-fed which put me off - this is something I want, so lets go

Changed my predictions to even more weighted @ public. HHH over Blue Demon Gambled on people choosing Sammartino over The Rock in the semi-finals, hope that wasn't misplaced. Either way, Hogan repeats.

 

[Kermit]

Don't forget to sign up and complete a bracket before the deadline, folks! We have 20 entries so far.

I have some unconventional choices going rather far. For example, I had Kevin Nash in the Sweet 16. Which means I put him over The Undertaker. I think Nash hit bank being placed in the WCW Region. The territory really helps him booking wise.

My final four had Hogan vs. Stone Cold, and Sting vs. Vader. I see Sting going over Cena in the TNA division when comes down to it. Also, I believe Vader was a rather large deal internationally. He has the bite to go pretty far even without the division in his favor.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

Also, I believe Vader was a rather large deal internationally. He has the bite to go pretty far even without the division in his favor.

This entire sentence is just a thinly veiled fat joke on Vader.
