Anyone else think I underseeded Sting v. Flair by a lot? I like that match a whole lot myself, but I just wasn't sensing a lot of enthusiasm for it in this thread.

As to the HBK v. Razor Ladder Match, that's an awkward one for me to seed. I think Phill's points are well-taken about how it doesn't age as well as a lot of other great matches, and I think it's going to get picked off before the elite eight even if it gets the favorable two seed. With that said, damn it seemed to have a lot of support. Do others think I should drop it lower? Because I'm willing; I'm just hesitant.

How about Royal Rumble '92? Do others think that should drop?

Your last two line items are just differences of one seeding spot so I'll leave those as is unless there's overwhelming support that speaks up for those changes. EDIT: Especially the switching 4's with 5's. No point; the voting will sort that out quickly since 4's and 5's face each other.

Alright, Chargers has been a great contributor to this thread so I did shift things around a bit per some of his suggestions.

HBK-Razor Ladder Match was dropped from a 2 to a 3.
HBK-Angle jumped from a 3 to a 2.
TLC II jumped from a 4 to a 3.
HBK-Bret Ironman dropped from a 3 to a 4.
Sting-Flair jumps up from a 7 to a 4.
Royal Rumble '92 drops from a 3 to a 5.

I think that's most of the changes that took place, though there had to be a couple of other small bumps. If anyone else in the thread has thoughts, speak now or forever hold your peace. Bracket is finalizing in the morning.

Head on over here for more fun.

I guess technically I'm still taking input, but since I've flipped around the bracket and updated the spreadsheet and run the randomizer to set the order of the second round matches...just let me roll with what I've got.

Bump to preserve this thread from imminent archiving per whatever the hell EMc said in that sticky thread at the top of the forum today.

I can't believe Owen Hart vs. the Bulldog only got 1 vote. It was non-stop, great action. I would have voted for it over HBK/Razor all day

In terms of which match I enjoyed more I favour Owen/Bulldog over Flair/Steamboat.

I didn't grow up with Rasslin', I grew up with WWF. I've tried so many times to get into old Flair matches and I just can't do it, whereas I loved watching Bulldog and Owen as a kid.
