[DownNDirty]

Atlantic Grand Prix - Only winner advances Round 1 [B]#1 The Spoiler[/B] VS #8 Big Steven Petipas - 14:00 D Iron Claw [B]#4 Steve Casey[/B] VS #5 Bobby Bass - 15:50 C- British Piledriver #3 Leo Burke VS [B]#6 Gerry Morrow[/B] - 21:10 D - Inside Cradle [B]#2 Pierre Lefebvre[/B] VS #7 Phil Lafon - 8:10 C- Leaping Piledriver Round 2 #1 The Spoiler VS [B]#4 Steve Casey[/B] - 26:00 C+ Double Knee Back Breaker #6 Gerry Morrow VS [B]#2 Pierre Lefebvre[/B] - 16:40 C- Piledriver Final #4 Steve Casey VS [B]#2 Pierre Lefabvre[/B] - 16:50 F Piledriver Winner and transferring to the King of Kings - Pierre Lefabvre Thoughts - Pretty dull tournament. I really thought Jardine was a lock.

[DownNDirty]

Starting next tournament will be 16 man tourneys from now on and the next few will be transferring two each to the King of Kings. These will take place tomorrow. Until then..... UPDATED TRANSFERS TO THE KING OF KINGS 1. Stan Hansen - AJPW 2. Giant Baba - AJPW 3. Terry Funk - AJPW 4. Jumbo Tsuruta - AJPW 5. Boris Zhukov - Houston 6. Manny Fernandez - Southwest 7.

Pierre Lefabvre - Atlantic Grand Prix Canada Each winner will automatically get a top 32 seed promised to them in the 64 man tournament - it's only fair for running the gauntlet in their respective tourney's. But I promise Jerry Oates won't be the #1 seed in any region lol.

Joint Promotions UK - Top 2 advance to King of Kings Round 1 [B]#1 Big Daddy[/B] VS #16 Mark McCoy - 7:50 F Big Bear Hug #8 The Amazing Kung Fu VS [B]#9 Jon Cortez[/B] - 13:10 E Full Nelson Clutch [B]#6 Brian Maxine[/B] VS #11 Clive Myers - 15:20 E Double Knee Back Breaker [B]#4 Johnny Saint[/B] VS #13 Johnny Kincaid - 24:50 C- German Suplex [B]#3 Otto Wanz[/B] VS #14 Bearcat Wright - 19:10 C Wanz Splash [B]#5 Jim Breaks[/B] VS #12 Peter Roberts - 21:20 C Breaks Special #7 King Kong Kirk VS [B]#10 Bobby Barnes[/B] - 17:50 E British Piledriver #2 The Original Kendo Nagasaki VS [B]#15 Dave Bond[/B] - 24:30 C+ Round 2 [B]#1 Big Daddy[/B] VS #9 Jon Cortez - 11:40 F Big Daddy Double Elbow Drop #6 Brian Maxine VS [B]#4 Johnny Saint[/B] - 22:30 C Japanese Self Stranglehold [B]#3 Otto Wanz[/B] VS #5 Jim Breaks - 20:50 F Bear Hug [B]#10 Bobby Barnes[/B] VS #15 Dave Bond - 11:40 D Round 3 [B]#1 Big Daddy[/B] VS #4 Johnny Saint - 23:00 D Big Daddy Elbow #3 Otto Wanz VS [B]#10 Bobby Barnes[/B] - 22:40 B- Leg Trip Step Over Leg Lock Final [B] #1 Big Daddy[/B] VS #10 Bobby Barnes - 16:00 F Big Daddy Splash Joint Tournament Champion and promised a top 32 seed - Big Daddy Also transferring - Bobby Barnes Thoughts - Big Daddy may win but all of his matches are boring. There was a couple of decent matches in this one and Barnes shocked me by getting all the way to the finals.

Just out of curiosity, when you list a match rating without a finisher, does that mean a DQ win/loss? For example: in the Nagasaki v. Bond match -- did Nagasaki perhaps get DQ'ed?

EMLL - Top 2 advance Round 1 [B]#1 Mil Mascaras[/B] VS #16 La Fiera - 19:30 B La Ringuina #8 Rayo de Jalisco Jr VS [B]#9 Gran Apache[/B] - 18:50 B- Lucha Indian Deathlock [B]#6 Mando Guerrero[/B] VS #11 Blue Panther - 11:20 F Piledriver [B]#4 Fishman[/B] VS #13 Kung Fu - 15:30 F Tirabuzon [B]#3 El Satanico[/B] VS #14 Rocky Santana - 14:00 D Fisherman Buster [B]#5 El Supremo[/B] VS #12 El Hijo del Santo - 11:50 F High Cross Body [B]#7 Ultraman [/B]VS #10 Babe Face - 19:50 C- Campana #2 Lizmark VS [B]#15 Gran Markus Jr[/B] - 14:30 E Big Splash Round 2 #1 Mil Mascaras VS [B]#9 Gran Apache[/B] - 20:40 D Estacas Indias [B]#6 Mando Guerrero[/B] VS #4 Fishman - 22:10 A Double Underhook Piledriver [B]#3 El Satanico [/B]VS #5 El Supremo - 18:40 C- El Nudo #7 Ultraman VS [B]#15 Gran Markus Jr.[/B] - 21:30 C+ Big Splash Round 3 #9 Gran Apache VS [B]#6 Mando Guerrero[/B] - 11:30 C- Bow and Arrow [B]#3 El Satanico[/B] VS #15 Gran Markus Jr - 17:50 C El Nudo Final #6 Mando Guerrero VS [B]#3 El Satanico[/B] - 25:20 B- El Nudo Winner and guaranteed a top 32 seed - El Satanico Also getting into the King of Kings - Mando Guerrero Thoughts - MASCARAS out in the second round? No way! I thought he might get tripped up in round 3 but not to Gran Apache. Some very good matches by the Lucha's with the final match even being pretty good between Mando and Satanico. Look out, once Satanico locks on that El Nudo it's all over baby.

[QUOTE=D. Boon's Ghost]Just out of curiosity, when you list a match rating without a finisher, does that mean a DQ win/loss? For example: in the Nagasaki v. Bond match -- did Nagasaki perhaps get DQ'ed?[/QUOTE] Nope, it means I simply missed the finish. All of these matches in the tournaments are Hardcore rules so no DQ's. I didn't want fluke DQ's eliminating some of the best wrestlers.

Next up today will be the CWA Tournament and here's the seedings again: Round 1 #1 Jerry Lawler VS #16 Koko B. Ware #8 Robert Gibson VS #9 Dennis Condrey #6 Randy Savage VS #11 Bill Dundee #4 Stan Lane VS #13 Lanny Poffo #3 Steve Keirn VS #14 Rick Rude #5 Jos Leduc VS #12 Bobby Eaton #7 Dutch Mantell VS #10 Ricky Morton #2 Austin Idol VS #15 Phil Hickerson Thoughts - with only 2 transferring this WILL be one of the most hotly contested qualifying tournaments. No need to guess because with this competition I'd just be wrong anyway. Upsets shouldn't be uncommon though.

Very cool idea, well done! BTW, if you miss the finish, you should be able to see the last move the winner performed by clicking on his picture at the end of the match.

CWA Memphis - Top two advance Round 1 [B]#1 Jerry Lawler[/B] VS #16 Koko B. Ware - 14:20 C Chain Punch [B]#8 Robert Gibson[/B] VS #9 Dennis Condrey - 13:10 F German Suplex #6 Randy Savage VS [B]#11 Bill Dundee[/B] - 17:30 F Brass Knuckle Punch [B]#4 Stan Lane[/B] VS #13 Lanny Poffo - 11:40 F Late Inning Small Package #3 Steve Keirn VS [B]#14 Rick Rude[/B] - 13:40 C Rude Awakening [B]#5 Jos Leduc[/B] VS #12 Bobby Eaton - 28:10 A* Piledriver [B]#7 Dutch Mantell[/B] VS #10 Ricky Morton - 9:30 F Double Knee Back Breaker [B]#2 Austin Idol[/B] VS #15 Phil Hickerson - 13:00 F Piledriver Round 2 [B]#1 Jerry Lawler[/B] VS #8 Robert Gibson - 29:30 A* Piledriver #11 Bill Dundee VS [B]#4 Stan Lane[/B] - 18:50 F Piledriver #14 Rick Rude VS [B]#5 Jos Leduc[/B] - 16:20 F Big Bear Hug #7 Dutch Mantell VS [B]#2 Austin Idol[/B] - 11:20 F Piledriver Round 3 [B]#1 Jerry Lawler[/B] VS #4 Stan Lane - 47:20 A* Chain Wrapped Punch #5 Jos Leduc VS [B]#2 Austin Idol[/B] - 22:50 B- Fireball Final #1 Jerry Lawler VS [B]#2 Austin Idol[/B] - 20:40 B- Big Bear Hug Locked into a top 32 spot in the King of Kings - Austin Idol Also guaranteed a spot - Jerry "The King" Lawler Thoughts: I knew this promised to be a good tournament and while it did have a few bad matches it more than made up for it with 3 A* matches in the tournament. In the Leduc/Eaton matchup they used every possible weapon except an artificial limb. The Lane/Lawler match may be THE match of the qualifiers - it will be hard to top that. Sweet Stan hit the King with everything and Lawler kept kicking out at the last second. He finally nailed Lane with the chain shot and put him away. Leduc was dominating Idol until he got hit by a fireball quickly ending what would have more than likely been an A match if it had went much further. This tournament will be hard to surpass in quality but I'm sure the WWF, MACW, GCW, WCCW, and Mid South boys will all have something to say about that.

Calgary up next and here's the seedings again: Round 1 #1 Bret Hart VS #16 Ben Bassarab #8 Loch Ness Monster VS #9 Jim Neidhart #6 Dynamite Kid VS #11 Makhan Singh #4 The Great Gama VS #13 Owen Hart #3 Mr. Hito VS #14 Steve Disalvo #5 Bad News Allen VS #12 Hiro Saito #7 Bruce Hart VS #10 Davey Boy Smith #2 The Mongolian Stomper VS #15 The Cobra Thoughts - Another qualifier where the men will have to knuckle up to get it done. Stu Hart has some great wrestlers in his pipeline for this qualifier and I expect at least two or three A matches.

[dudeamis]

#1 [B]Bret Hart[/B] VS #16 Ben Bassarab #8 [B]Loch Ness Monster[/B] VS #9 Jim Neidhart #6 [B]Dynamite Kid [/B]VS #11 Makhan Singh #4 [B]The Great Gama[/B] VS #13 Owen Hart #3 [B]Mr. Hito[/B] VS #14 Steve Disalvo #5 [B]Bad News Allen[/B] VS #12 Hiro Saito #7 Bruce Hart VS #10 [B]Davey Boy Smith[/B] #2 [B]The Mongolian Stomper[/B] VS #15 The Cobra The only upset I have here is Davey Boy, but I think The Anvil could beat the big man. I really wanted to pick Owen, but he's still kinda green. I think Bret or Allen will win it all, with Dynamite being a possible spoiler for the Hitman.

[DownNDirty]

Calgary - Top 2 transfer Round 1 [B]#1 Bret Hart[/B] VS #16 Ben Bassarab - 12:30 C+ Sharpshooter [B]#8 Loch Ness Monster[/B] VS #9 Jim Neidhart - 13:30 E Giant Elbow [B]#6 Dynamite Kid[/B] VS #11 Makhan Singh - 10:20 F Piledriver [B]#4 The Great Gama[/B] VS #13 Owen Hart - 13:20 F Pin after Over the Top Rope Toss [B]#3 Mr. Hito[/B] VS #14 Steve Disalvo - 17:30 C- Salt Toss in Eyes #5 Bad News Allen VS [B]#12 Hiro Saito[/B] - 15:40 C+ Leg Trip Step Over Leg Lock #7 Bruce Hart VS [B]#10 Davey Boy Smith[/B] - 17:20 E British Piledriver [B]#2 The Mongolian Stomper[/B] VS #15 The Cobra - 15:10 D Coal Miners Glove Round 2 #1 Bret Hart VS [B]#8 Loch Ness Monster[/B] - 14:30 C- Giant Splash #6 Dynamite Kid VS [B]#4 The Great Gama[/B] - 17:10 B- Pin after missed Dynamite Flying Headbutt [B]#3 Mr. Hito[/B] VS #12 Hiro Saito - 12:20 D Powder Toss to Eyes #10 Davey Boy Smith VS [B]#2 The Mongolian Stomper[/B] - 20:00 C- Exposed Turnbuckle Smash Round 3 [B]#8 Loch Ness Monster[/B] VS #4 The Great Gama - 10:40 C Mountain Avalanche [B]#3 Mr. Hito[/B] VS #2 The Mongolian Stomper - 19:40 A* Powder Toss to Eyes Final #8 Loch Ness Monster VS [B]#3 Mr. Hito[/B] - 17:10 C Asiatic Spike The Champion of Calgary and guaranteed a top 32 slot - Mr. Hito Also transferring - Loch Ness Monster Thoughts: Well, I didn't see it shaking out like this. I figured that Bad News Allen would be one of the two. The Loch Ness Monster just absolutely squashed Hart and everyone else right up to the final match. Mr. Hito means business - his match with the Stomper was great and he quietly won the dang thing from the 3 spot.

All Star Wrestling UK - Top 2 advance Round 1 #1 Marc Rocco VS #16 Rocky Moran #8 Wayne Bridges VS #9 Chic Cullen #6 Dave Finlay VS #11 Johnny Kidd #4 Mal Sanders VS #13 David Taylor #3 John Quinn VS #14 Johnny Smith #5 Marty Jones VS #12 Steven Regal #7 Steve Wright VS #10 Mike Bennett #2 Tony St. Clair VS #15 Frank Manley Thoughts: Don't know who will win but look at these young guys in it - Finlay, David Taylor, and Steven Regal will all go onto great success in the future.

[Jaded]

Edited because I missed a post or two... good to see more Brits, would love to see Regal pull it off against Marty Jones but doubt it. Going for Rocco to take the top half of the draw and Jones the bottom, Rollerball getting the win in the final.

All Star UK - Top 2 transfer Round 1 [B]#1 Marc Rocco[/B] VS #16 Rocky Moran - 20:30 B- Guillotine Whip #8 Wayne Bridges VS [B]#9 Chic Cullen[/B] - 20:50 F Airplane Spin [B]#6 Dave Finlay[/B] VS #11 Johnny Kidd - 9:10 F British Piledriver [B]#4 Mal Sanders[/B] VS #13 David Taylor - 14:50 D Airplane Spin #3 John Quinn VS [B]#14 Johnny Smith[/B] - 20:40 C Springboard Body Press [B]#5 Marty Jones[/B] VS #12 Steven Regal - 3:20 F Double Knee Back Breaker [B]#7 Steve Wright[/B] VS #10 Mike Bennett - 13:40 E British Piledriver #2 Tony St. Clair VS [B]#15 Frank Manley[/B] - 16:20 C Boston Crab Round 2 #1 Marc Rocco VS [B]#9 Chic Cullen[/B] - 27:50 B- Leg Trip Step Over Leg Lock #6 Dave Finlay VS [B]#4 Mal Sanders[/B] - 8:20 F Double Knee Back Breaker #14 Johnny Smith VS [B]#5 Marty Jones[/B] - 17:00 B British Piledriver #7 Steve Wright VS [B]#15 Frank Manley[/B] - 14:30 C Full Nelson Round 3 #9 Chic Cullen VS [B]#4 Mal Sanders[/B] - 16:20 E Double Knee Back Breaker [B]#5 Marty Jones[/B] VS #15 Frank Manley - 10:50 F Abdominal Stretch Final #4 Mal Sanders VS [B]#5 Marty Jones [/B]- 17:40 E British Piledriver The All Star UK Champion - Marty Jones Also going to the King of Kings is Mal Sanders Thoughts: I'm sure the British enthusiasts will know more than I but I have to believe Frank Manley winning two matches is unheard of. Also, Rollerball going out in round two to Cullen has to be a bit of a shocker too.

[DownNDirty]

The King of Kings will continue on Sunday afternoon or Monday - I'm on vacation and headed to the beach. Hope everyone has enjoyed reading so far. DD

[dudeamis]

I really like this so far, my reader votes go too Dynamite and Randy Savage, maybe Rude, Hitman or Davey Boy if there arn't too many big upsets.

[QUOTE=dudeamis]I really like this so far, my reader votes go too Dynamite and Randy Savage, maybe Rude, Hitman or Davey Boy if there arn't too many big upsets.[/QUOTE] Huh? All those guys are gone.

[DownNDirty]

Yep, been a tough tourney so far as all of those guys have already bit the dust in the prelims. The NJPW is going on right now in the 3rd round. I'll have full results of that tournament within the next 3 hours with the AWA tournament to follow later tonight time permitting. DD

NJPW - Top 4 transfer to King of Kings Round 1 [B]#1 Antonio Inoki[/B] VS #16 Osamu Kido - 19:30 F Ground Crucifix Arm Bar #8 Animal Hamaguchi VS [B]#9 Seiji Sakaguchi[/B] - 36:50 A Rolling Short Arm Scissors [B]#6 Killer Khan[/B] VS #11 Yoshiaki Yatsu - 19:30 F Powder to Eyes [B]#4 Masa Saito[/B] VS #13 Isamu Teranishi - 25:50 F Powder to Eyes [B]#3 Riki Chosyu[/B] VS #14 Kuniaki Kobayashi - 23:30 E Step Over Leg Lock #5 Tiger Mask VS [B]#12 Rusher Kimura[/B] - 23:30 E Japanese Backdrop Suplex [B]#7 Yoshiaki Fujiwara[/B] VS #10 The Cobra - 14:00 F Face Lock [B]#2 Tatsumi Fujinami[/B] VS #15 Kengo Kimura - 20:30 F Cobra Twist Round 2 [B]#1 Antonio Inoki[/B] VS #9 Seiji Sakaguchi - 24:50 C- Inoki Crucifix Arm Bar #6 Killer Khan VS [B]#4 Masa Saito[/B] - 25:40 F Salt Toss to Eyes [B]#3 Riki Choshu[/B] VS #12 Rusher Kimura - 30:10 C+ Riki Scorpion Deathlock #7 Yoshiaki Fujiwara VS [B]#2 Tatsumi Fujinami[/B] - 27:40 C Rolling Short Arm Scissors Round 3 [B] #1 Antonio Inoki[/B] VS #4 Masa Saito - 25:30 C- Manji-Gatame [B]#3 Riki Chosyu[/B] VS #2 Tatsumi Fujinami - 29:20 C Powerbomb Final [B]#1 Antonio Inoki [/B]VS #3 Riki Chosyu - 27:50 C- Manji-Gatame Winner and transferring to the King of Kings with an automatic top 32 seed Antonio Inoki. Also transferring are Riki Chosyu, Masa Saito, and Tatsumi Fujinami. Thoughts - The first tournament where the top 4 seeds all made it to the final 4. Nothing eventful and probably no surprise that Inoki walked away the winner.

[DownNDirty]

AWA - Top 4 transfer Round 1 #1 Nick Bockwinkel VS #16 Steve Regal #8 Jerry Blackwell VS #9 David Shultz #6 Baron Von Raschke VS #11 Mr. Saito #4 Rick Martel VS #13 Jim Brunzell #3 Ken Patera VS #14 Billy Robinson #5 Jesse Ventura VS #12 Brad Rheingans #7 Greg Gagne VS #10 Curt Henning #2 Hulk Hogan VS #15 Big Scott Hall Thoughts - The AWA tournament should see Bockwinkel make it to the big show. An interesting first round matchup with Hogan and Scott Hall 13 years before they together created one of the most influential groups in wrestling history.

AWA - Top 4 transfer to King of Kings Round 1 [B]#1 Nick Bockwinkel [/B]VS #16 Steve Regal - 7:40 F Oriental Sleeper Hold [B]#8 Jerry Blackwell [/B]VS #9 David Shultz - 12:20 E Big Splash [B]#6 Baron Von Raschke[/B] VS #11 Buck Zumhofe - 8:30 F Grounded Iron Claw [B]#4 Rick Martel [/B]VS #13 Jim Brunzell - 19:30 C+ Crucifix Cradle #3 Ken Patera VS [B]#14 Billy Robinson[/B] - 16:20 C- Step Over Leg Lock [B]#5 Jesse Ventura[/B] VS #12 Brad Rheingans - 21:40 C- Chair Shot to Head [B]#7 Greg Gagne[/B] VS #10 Curt Henning - 16:50 C Thesz Press [B]#2 Hulk Hogan[/B] VS #15 Big Scott Hall - 9:00 D Piledriver Round 2 [B]#1 Nick Bockwinkel[/B] VS #8 Jerry Blackwell - 13:30 F Roll of Quarters #6 Baron Von Raschke VS [B]#4 Rick Martel[/B] - 18:20 F High Cross Body [B]#14 Billy Robinson[/B] VS #5 Jesse Ventura - 17:10 C- Step Over Leg Lock [B]#7 Greg Gagne[/B] VS #2 Hulk Hogan - 21:00 A* Gagne Sleeper Round 3 [B]#1 Nick Bockwinkel[/B] VS #4 Rick Martel - 16:40 F Oriental Sleeper Hold [B]#14 Billy Robinson [/B]VS #7 Greg Gagne - 15:00 C Step Over Leg Lock Final #1 Nick Bockwinkel VS [B]#14 Billy Robinson[/B] - 20:50 A Step Over Leg Lock Winner and guaranteed a top 32 spot in the King of Kings - Billy Robinson. Also transferring are Nick Bockwinkel, Greg Gagne, and Rick Martel. Thoughts - Holy crap Hogan lost to Gagne. Not only that but Gagne kicked out of the Big Legdrop. Billy Robinson had some cheering him on right to victory over the technician Bockwinkel. Hogan and Gagne pulling out an A* match and Gagne pinning the Hulk may be the biggest surprise by far of the qualifiers. Well, that or Tom Zenk pinning The Shiek in an earlier tournament.

[DownNDirty]

Next up WCCW and here's the seedings: WCCW - Top 4 advance Round 1 #1 David Von Erich VS #16 Frank Dusek #8 One Man Gang VS #9 The Missing Link #6 The Greak Kabuki VS #11 Mike Von Erich #4 Kerry Von Erich VS #13 Magic Dragon #3 Terry Gordy VS #14 Sweet Brown Sugar #5 Kevin Von Erich VS #12 Brian Adias #7 Iceman Parsons VS #10 Buddy Roberts #2 Michael Hayes VS #15 John Tatum Thoughts - At least one Von Erich should be in there and I think Hayes has a pretty good shot to the final four as well. I predect one of the top 4 seeds to take this one though.

With WCCW, GCW, WWF, Florida, MACW, and Mid South all left between those promotions we will gain another 24 wrestlers before it's all said and done being automatically locked in. That will leave 5 precious spots left for guys not already in to get wild cards. Who will get chosen? Rollerball, Savage, Hogan, Dynamite, Mascaras, etc. The choices will be entirely up to the readers. Who knows what other upsets will happen between now and the end of the qualifiers too.
