Daniel Bryan and Ultimate Warrior made a run at survival but came up short. The rest of the victims from this batch were purely fodder.
Who advanced between Punk and Regal?

Kurt Angle doesn't like black people. Or Jesus.

Heenan Page
Vince Backlund
Savage Shane
Cena Eddie
Heyman Undertaker
Ross Rude - Don't think Ross should be included in my opinion.
Graham Raven - It's pretty crazy that people are voting Raven over Graham.
Angle Hall - Really tough one for me.

Jim Ross vs. Rick Rude - I think JR probably shouldn't be in this but since he is I had to vote for him. Seems strange that he's the only PBP guy in it though.
Superstar Billy Graham vs. Raven

EZ game.

Mostly easy decisions. It's really tough to judge a PBP guy and a promo guy. This seems more like a contest about promos, so I'm going with Rick Rude. He was awesome and pretty underseeded at #11.

Abstaining on the Graham/Raven match because I don't know Graham enough. Raven was pretty damned good though.

All of the other higher seeds advance as well.

Sorry that the JR inclusion seems to be unpopular.

Re: WBM Greatest Talker of All Time - First Round Voting + Discussion

My votes for this batch:
The Rock over Vickie
Steve Austin over Ron Simmons
Arn Anderson over Captain Lou Albano
Hulk Hogan over Stephanie McMahon
Terry Funk over Eric Bischoff
Owen Hart over Triple H
Ted DiBiase over Buddy Rogers

I need to watch some Bockwinkel promos before I vote on Bockwinkel/Pillman.

Re: WBM Greatest Talker of All Time - First Round Voting + Discussion

The Rock over Vickie
Steve Austin over Ron Simmons
Arn Anderson over Captain Lou Albano
Hulk Hogan over Stephanie McMahon
Terry Funk over Eric Bischoff
Triple H over Owen Hart
Bockwinkel over Pillman

Pillman really only had any kind of value at all on the mic for a couple years, while Bockwinkel had decades of it. Every promo I've ever seen of Bockwinkel just surfing Youtube has been excellent, and it's fairly obvious that Jericho idolized and borrowed from him heavily.

Buddy Rogers is probably better on the mic then Ted, based on historical evidence. However, there is minimal video of Rogers on the mic anywhere near his prime and therefore it is hard to judge so I'll not vote on that match for now.
