Was waiting for beaker but if he wants more/less I can change it again anyway. The option reads

Close poll ___ days after 11-09-2015

and I put in 4. Honestly can't recall if it's 4 days after the time on the 11th it was posted or from when the 11th started (00:00) but either way it's back up.

Its usually 4 days from when the poll is posted. id say the weekend had a hand in the voting turn out, as the polls that went up all had low voting turn out. I know myself, I was very busy the weekend myself.

beakerjoe · 14-09-2015 10:44am

In the interest of fairness, with the poll reopen on TSC v Gerry and the lower voter turn out Ill have a mod re oprn my match with Hashtag. and Hulk and Liz for 1 more day.

So far we have one QF set with Bounty Hunter taking on MNG and ill pop up the reaining first round matches in the hour.

I took it to mean anyone active at the moment but the question has been blown wide open now. I'll get on this this evening. Welcome back MrK

beakerjoe · 14-09-2015 11:44am

Oh its anyone, doesnt have to be WWE roster restrictive too. Theres many internet darlings through out wrestling at the minute and in history, choose who you think doesnt the deserve all the praise and hoopla

Stereomaniac · 14-09-2015 12:26pm

Good to see everyone putting in such an effort on this. It's really enjoyable I must say even after I've been eliminated. Some pretty good ideas floating around. Start a promotion!

mrkiscool2 · 14-09-2015 1:18pm

Risky decision going for Ziggler. There were two other guys I could have picked that I may not have believed in but would have helped. Picking Ziggler could go against me, but I truly believe what I wrote.

beakerjoe · 14-09-2015 1:19pm

The picture you used is perfect....

Ah theres so many great answers IMO, lots of scope

Stereomaniac · 14-09-2015 1:56pm

Oh I know, it's just I was formulating reasons why I think he's overrated, now I've to go against myself ha! I've someone in mind, will do it later.

WinnyThePoo · 14-09-2015 6:11pm

Hey just home from work now. Hopefully have mine up in the next couple of hours. Awesome question.

Omackeral · 14-09-2015 9:57pm

I'm not long in from work myself chaps so getting down to doing up my opening post. Have my choice made..

WinnyThePoo · 14-09-2015 10:15pm

My first post up.

brianregan09 · 14-09-2015 10:17pm

My last reply up this was alot harder than i thought best of luck Cheese

thebostoncrab · 14-09-2015 11:43pm

I'll have my choice up around lunch time tomorrow

Omackeral · 14-09-2015 11:48pm

I'm in with my choice for overrated Internet darling.

Yep, he was one of the ones I considered. Him or Christian would have been good, but if you had chosen Wyatt you would have won as I love the chap too much haha.

Omackeral · 15-09-2015 12:11am

I never even thought of Christian, that's a good shout. The Scott Hall vs Roddy Piper for Best to Never Hold the World Title is a cracking match. Cheese and BrianRegan have brought the fight and it's getting a bit heated too, check it out if you haven't. I could go either way on what I've read so far but there is one more rebuttal to come.

beakerjoe · 15-09-2015 10:32am

2 hours left to go in the GerrybBadd v Lord TSC match..... voting is tight so vote if you havent.....

beakerjoe · 15-09-2015 10:47am

Also Im laughing at BrianRegens line of "Vince had teh horn for him" in reference to Hogan. It just made me laugh

JP Liz V1 · 15-09-2015 12:10pm

Christian overrated no way

beakerjoe · 15-09-2015 12:30pm

Congratulations to GerryBBadd and commiserations to Lord TSC, a very good argument dished out and it was only 2 votes in it in the end.

Omackeral · 15-09-2015 1:13pm

I'll start on my rebuttal later tonight as I'm in work til 8pm and have a soccer match at 9. Congrats Gerry and hard luck TSC , that was neck and neck as far as I could see.

Stereomaniac · 15-09-2015 1:21pm

The argument for Dolph Ziggler being one of the most overrated internet darlings is a compelling one. I probably would have written something very similar if I had gotten that question.

Lord TSC · 15-09-2015 2:04pm

Tbh, I'm just glad anyone voted Cesaro at all. Thought it was a shakey arguement, and I lost a bit of faith as I kept going, so thanks to everyone who voted for me

Angron · 15-09-2015 3:14pm

I'm enjoying the one about best never to be world champ. Kinda funny how pretty much all the names that spring to mind for that one are Hogan era :pac:

gerrybbadd · 15-09-2015 4:21pm

Ah, havent been on here all day! Delighted to have won, many thanks to all the voters.

Commiserations Lord TSC, that was some battle!

beakerjoe · 16-09-2015 10:11am

Myself and ImnotHulk go into the next round after 2 great match ups.

Great eforts by both Liz and Hashtag, who I personally though had me beat. A match worthy of the final and I feel my choice of Sandow won rather than my arguement as Hashtag had one hell of a point in Adam Roses miss use.

Poll up in the Cheese v Regan battle, and cheese has one more rebuttal left if he wants to use it.

The brackets are now -

QF1 :Bounty Hunter vs MrNiceGuy
QF2 : MrKiscool/Omackeral vs Imnothulk
QF3 : GerryBBadd vs Beaker Joe
OF4 : ChessieWagstaff/ BrianRegan vs WinnieThePoo/ TBC

I face Gerry again in the Q-Final, in a rematch from last year which Gerry Won

CastorTroy · 16-09-2015 11:22am

You did me proud Liz.

Of course, I'm not going to come out when the tournament is over and claim I was never actually eliminated and start a big clock for the era of Castormania

Stereomaniac · 16-09-2015 11:27am

No just cash in instead!

Omackeral · 16-09-2015 11:46am

This storyline writes itself. Liz goes on an amazing run and goes and wins the whole tournament. Then a spiteful CastorTroy returns out of nowhere and batters her declaring himself the Real World's Champion. They face off in a title vs title match, winner is undisputed champion.

I predicted this lads, get of your high horse! Anyway, my reply is up vs MrKisCool

Touch of real class in your opening two sentences. I appreciate that man, I knew when I drew you it was going to be a very good debate. Should have my reply up by early evening.

Omackeral · 16-09-2015 11:58am

I had hoped to get it up last night (ha so did she, not so classy now :P) but had a soccer match straight after working 12 hours and was just wrecked so hit the shower and bed pretty much straight away. It's a good debate so far, cant wait to shoot straight with ya after and see what we really think!

JP Liz V1 · 16-09-2015 12:34pm

Well debated and congrats Imnotthehulk

thebostoncrab · 16-09-2015 7:09pm

My choices when I saw the question were Rollins, Bryan and Kane. Three very different situations but I think Seth was 100% the best of the 3.

Bounty Hunter · 16-09-2015 7:14pm

surprised nobody went with Sting, yeah it's obvious but it's obvious for a reason. Rollins vs Angle, this will be interesting

My problem with Sting is my problem with Angle; where do you from there?

To the bank! Nostalgia sells baby $$$$

nah seriously you have a point and it'l be interesting to see how it's countered by Winnie

WinnyThePoo · 17-09-2015 12:46am

Hey TBC. Great post. Hopefully get my reply tomorrow morning. My choices in my head where Angle, B.Wyatt(possible tag match) and Seth Rollins myself.

connemara man · 17-09-2015 12:49am

no retirement match vs Kane ppppffffffffff and the brothers of destruction leave together

Mick Murdock · 17-09-2015 8:58am

I'd be in favour of that. Anything to get rid of Kane!

Stereomaniac · 17-09-2015 2:04pm

Can't wait for Kane to make his heroic return to save The Shield Sunday!

Cheese Wagstaff · 17-09-2015 7:25pm

My final rebuttal is up now. Possibly the most thrilling one so far, perhaps because it's been so drawn out. May the best man win.
