Here we go with results from the Regional Semi-Finals.
WCW Region. The Georgiadome.
The Rock took a big lead, and I mean a big enough lead to where I had it called in my mind. The Rock shows his athleticism in the big cage, as he batters Ric Flair like a rag doll. The Rock also utilized his experience in ladder matches by getting into the second cage first. Flair gets a second win as he is locked into the second cage laced with weapons, and both men get busted open. The Rock makes it into the third cage and makes his way to the door. Finally The Rock makes it 42 feet into the air and reaches for the briefcase, when the dirtiest player in the game nails him with the lowblow and sends the Rock falling to the top of the 1st cage. Flair reaches up and grabs his ticket to Detroit. Ric Flair moves on with 52% of the vote.
Match 2: The Hour.
Brock starts off strong by taking down Stone Cold. The match goes back and forth with Brock getting himself DQ'd to take down Austin. Finally the rattlesnake snaps and goes into his WM17 self by viscously beating Brock with a steal chair. Austin dominates the latter half and takes down the Next Big Thing. Steve Austin wins with an impressive 82% of the vote.
TNA Region
Rick Rude gets escorted from his match with booker t, into a room with no light, no food and no water. The Big Show didn't have to work as hard in his match against Double J, plus he went first and had a chance to replenish himself. The Big Show with the luck of the draw, just dominates Rick Rude and advances with 82% of the vote.
Match 4: Ultimate X
Triple H puts a hurting on Eddie Guerrero early and often in this matchup. Guerrero does what he has in this tournament, and thats coming back against a man that was a lot bigger then him. The match goes back and forth, but Guerrero nails Triple H with his sledge hammer and scampers across the ropes to grab the prize. In a match that stuns me, Triple H is eliminated and Eddie Guerrero advances with 59%.
WWE Region
Match 5: Hell in the Cell
AJ styles nearly lucks out in getting 3 ladder matches in a row, but the coinflip ends up locking him into a cell with the madman Terry Funk. Funk takes it to the young wrestler and makes him pay his dues. Terry Funk takes down the Phenomenal One with 66% of the vote.
Match 6: TLC
Bret Hart has been a thorn in the Undertaker's side for many years. As dominating a run Taker has had in WWE, Hart is one of the few he can't beat. Hart locks a painful submission on the deadman on top of the ladder and knocks the deadman off, but not before Taker grabs Harts leg and brings him down. Hart finally gets back to the top of the ladder, only to have the cold hand of death wrap around his throat and chokeslam him threw a table. That same hand grabs the Briefcase, and the Undertaker finally gets the Hart monkey off his back. Taker advances with 61% of the vote.
ECW Region
A master of the mind against a man that is a monster. Kane vs. Raven. Kane makes Raven taste his own blood by tossing him into the Barbed wire, early and often. Raven eventually nails a reversal on the Big Red Machine, tearing into his outfit. With this chink in the armor, Raven goes to work by tearing the clothing off of Kane. The match continues, but finally, Raven nails a DDT onto a roll of Barb Wire to take down Kane. Raven moves on with 57% of the vote.
Match 8. 3 stages of hell.
In order for HBK to advance, he only needs to win 7 matches in 3 nights. The only thing standing in his way, is a pissed off Human Suplex Machine Taz, inside of the ECW Arena. The crowd is solidly behind Taz in the beginning of this matchup. Finally HBK is able to nail sweet chin music, and take a 1-0 lead over Taz. HBK wins round 1 with 88% of the vote.
Match 2 starts off with HBK struggling to get to his feet after expending so much energy to take Taz down. The effects of his matches is wearing on him. Taz makes it to his feet, and right away Michaels backs into a pissed off Taz who locks the Tazmission on him and chokes HBK out. Taz dominates the submission match with 86% of the vote.
Taz has a huge advantage with Michaels knocked out in the middle of the ring. 12 feet is all the separates Taz from the finals. HBK pulls himself back up and this match is back on. Finally at the end, HBK manages to knock Taz off of the ladder, and HBK grabs the briefcase against all of the odds to make it. HBK wins the laddermatch with 89% of the vote.
