So awesome. Glad someone took initiative because I was clearly slacking. How exactly do I vote?

Alright, how about this: I'll post a first round discussion and voting thread. We'll do it one match at a time and people will just post their votes. Rinse and repeat for the second round. When the Sweet 16 rolls around, we could probably start doing new threads with polls and combine it into two matches per thread (people would vote for their two options simultaneously), but we can discuss that later. For now we'll keep the voting to people just saying which way they want to vote on a match.

Great work with the bracket LKJ. I would suggest to run four matches at a time in the first couple of rounds, which we can vote on just by posting or a multi-option poll, then do individual polls from the sweet 16 (probably two at a time for a couple days each). But I'll be down with whatever you decide to go with.

EDIT - Just seen you've already posted the thread, so just ignore me, your way is fine.

Yeah it's up against Taker/HBK HIAC. Such a tough choice.

tons of tough choices out there. feels impossible to pick a best out of some match ups.

i really hope 1) that we can finish this whole thing and 2) in the bottom left bracket to go to the final 4 we get bret/perfect from KotR 93 vs steamboat/savage WM III

nitpick: austin/hhh from NWO is in 01 and not 02.

When and what will the next tournament be? Perhaps after the 1st round of the other one, as everybody has had a chance to see all the matches?

Perhaps it can be something of a contrast to the other one, going with best feud ever, or best on the mic. We could do best wrestler ever, although I do have another idea for that one (each person ranks wrestlers and they are given points based on rankings, then the points are totaled to create a collective ranking), although one doesn't preclude the other.

I'm already warming up to berate everyone who doesn't vote for Jake the Snake in a best on the mic competition.

WM25: 2.7857
WM 24: 2.655
WM 21: 2.5
WM 23: 2.4688
WM 22: 2.3409
WM 17: 2.3182
Wrestlemania 27: 2.2188
WM 12: 2.2
WM 20: 2.1875
WM 13: 2.1786

WM 3: 1.6667
WM 11: 1.6429
WM 18: 1.6364

WM 9: 1.4167
WM 16: 1.3056

WM 15: 1.1389
WM 2: 1.0625
WM 8: 0.8889
WM 4: 0.75
WM 5: 0.6607

http://starratingslist.blogspot.com/...ings-list.html includes star ratings for every single WM match ever. but those are just stars. i tend to agree 17 is the best combining atmosphere, storylines, and matches.

That's so low for WM 8. Both singles title matches were highly enjoyable.

Best promo ever could be a cool tournament. Obviously Nash's promo about making wrestling fun again would be an early favorite.

That was like the height of Nash giving promos that were incredibly unwitty, saying, "You mean like a liver spot? You mean like my dog Spot?" and people clapping like seals and going "haha oh wow, awesome."

Those are dark days and I prefer to forget them.
