The WrestleZone Tournament Has Begun

Just tell them Nash would fuck up his leg walking to the ring thus being easy prey for the sharpshooter
 
Fuck Big Lazy. Bring your nWo arguments. Bring your WM11 arguments. I simply don't care. I've never found him to be an enjoyable performer, end of story.

I remember now how to procede in this shit: post only when I think a tie may occur. If I wanted listen to why stats, numbers, and other shit like that are the be-all, end-all, inflexible measure of a performer's worth and talent, I'd post more in the sports section.
 
Except most people go by prime vs. prime, and Nash at his prime would have blown Owen out of the water during Owen's prime. I'm talking multiple jackknife powerbombs just for the fun of it.

Good for them. They aren't me, and I'm really not interested into getting sucked into someone else's reasoning. I don't love wrestling for stats. I don't love wrestlers simply because of their accomplishments. I like what I like, and until the gimmick round starts, that's reason enough to vote how I please.
 
Really, if we want to be frank, Yoko's run of dominance was more like one year. One year and four months, tops. Then he was made to look like Taker's baby back bitch, and sent to Fat Camp before NBC even thought of the idea.

And that one year of dominance was far greater then anything Eddie Guerrero ever did.
 
Why would a gimmick round change things?

First of all, I was under the impression for some reason (probably some silly assumption on my part) that the criteria for voting changed slightly around that time.

Secondly, in the spirit of the tournament, I will allow a match gimmick to influence my vote for the round. I mean, since the time has been taken to make one for the match, I figure I should play nice.

Exactly. If everyone decided to vote, throughout the entire tournament, on something along the lines of who drew the most money, it wouldn't be much fun.
 
I like how everyone has their own criteria. If not, Hogan would win every year.

In the finals, I will be voting based solely on shoe size.
 
It might be easier than you think, especially if it winds up being like, Hogan vs. Angle or something.

It doesn't have to. There is no criteria for voting, your criteria is what you make it.

I understand what you are saying, it just seems strange to me that you are simply going to go with the wrestler you like the best, and then suddenly change to an analytic view of voting.
 
Well, it's not going to be totally switched to based only on the gimmick, I'm just going to let it factor into my consideration.
 
Hmmmm just noticed a bit of an issue with the voting. Well it states that you can pretty much use any criteria you deem appropriate to pick a winner, whilst I find this the best aspect of the tournament as it opens things up to interpretation it pretty much means people can find any excuse to vote on personal preference. Whilst that is fair game, if someone is voting on personal preference and trying to twist ideas just for a weak reason to vote for their favourites that's pretty poor.

Obviously it's impossible to prevent people from doing this but it does mean people may end up voting against someone who they know full well is better and they they just don't like. It can't really be helped but it is semi-frustrating, people ought not vote against someone purely because they don't like them, that's terrible use of the free criteria idea.

Sorry, mini-vent.

And that's why you're able to tell that person he's wrong, and vote the other way.
 
Nobody ever claimed that the system was fool-proof. Hell, Nate is going to vote by boot size in the final four. Enough people vote by who they think would actually win to make the tournament worthwhile and fun.
 
I need convincing on Muta vs. Funk before I vote. That's a good match between two damn fine wrestlers.

Also, I'm literally stunned that Sly, and to a lesser extent KB, voted for Batista over Warrior.
 
Anyone who is voting for Batista over the Ultimate Warrior needs to make sure they vote Batista over Hulk Hogan, because that is basically what they'd have to be stupid enough to believe in voting. (unless they were solely voting on hating Warrior - then that's understandable)

Warrior is shit to people outside of the ring. But in his time, inside the ring, regardless of talent or otherwise; he was the second greatest draw the Company had during the Hogan era - including a clean win over Hogan. For Sly of all people to vote against Warrior, it's making me believe someone hacked his account.
