    Great stuff dude and let me say win or lose I enjoyed the hell out of this debate and glad to see some of the other guys enjoying it too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Great match up between Brian and Cheese, voting is neck and neck so far and the poll closes in under 24 hours so vote if you havent already

    Also two nice matches still brewing to close the round.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,166 ✭✭✭Stereomaniac


    Nice to have something to read coming off of the night shift in work!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 305 ✭✭Imnotthehulk


    Brian and Cheese's match was a tough decision! Two great reads.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,166 ✭✭✭Stereomaniac


    Congratulations on your own victory. It has reminded me I should watch more Marvel movies!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,159 ✭✭✭mrkiscool2


    Sorry about the delay Omackeral, orientation for college has me wrecked haha. On the bus to Tralee so had time to do it, best of luck now whatever happens! Going to be a good vote I'd say!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    And done. Wrecked!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Poll up in match 8 between TBC and WTP.

    Congrats to Chesse Wagstaff who got more votes than Brian Regan in a tough contest. Great argument Brian but unfortunately Cheese swayed more voters.

    Mrkiscool v Omackeral is still on going until 2pm so get voting peeps. Its neck and neck at the minute with only 8 votes

    Ill post up the first Q-Final match between MNG and BH later today and Bounty Hunter will post the next QFinal match between Gerry B Badd and myself later too.

    Im out for revenge Gerry!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,166 ✭✭✭Stereomaniac


    I guess I should probably start voting more in these! I've remained on the fence a lot throughout the first round because I've found it hard to choose one over another in most of the questions.

    Well Ill encourage you to vote for which one swayed you most, even if both arguments are fantastic. Its hard though in most cases.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,166 ✭✭✭Stereomaniac


    Well naturally I'm going to do that. I just haven't spent much time deciding though until now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    The first Q-Final is up and voting is closing in the MrKiscool v Omackeral match so if you haven't voted, get on it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,301 ✭✭✭✭gerrybbadd


    Damn!!! That Q/F question tho!

    I know who i'd pick - it seems really obvious to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,483 ✭✭✭brianregan09


    Well done to cheese on his win great stuff mate best of luck in the quarters


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,853 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    I'll have your question up later tonight, watching NOC's first to make sure question is still relevant

    I knew one of them would have to go with Rocky Maivia :P


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,853 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    I think people may be more impressed by a less obvious option but I couldn't get that one out of my head so had to just go with it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,166 ✭✭✭Stereomaniac


    You went with exactly what came to mind for me as soon as I read the question there anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Excellent choice by Bounty Hunter. Two names popped into my head and that was one of them. I'll have my selection up in a little while.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,853 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    Actually the more I think about it there are loads of really good choices for the question I got and a few I'm hoping MNG hasn't gone for.

    Q#2 is up for Beaker & gerry

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Can I ask, am I allowed reference Bounty Hunter's choice in my first post or do I leave that for later posts?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    Good battle mrK. You had me on the ropes for most of that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,301 ✭✭✭✭gerrybbadd


    Very tough question for us for Round 2! Gotta really think this one through


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,853 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    Can I ask, am I allowed reference Bounty Hunter's choice in my first post or do I leave that for later posts?

    I'd wait for beaker's answer cos well im your opponent but I believe we should only refer to our opponents answer after our first post.

    People have done otherwise before though although they were not supposed to I guess considering how Beaker says it in red after Beakers question cos I guess it'd give you an advantage if you could counter me in your first post as well as having the final say.

    and I guess it could be a tough one Gerry but you can also literally do whatever you want fantasy booking stylee


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,853 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    very interesting choice with Cena, I was expecting HBK and the barbershop tbh but this will be an interesting one, My first response is up but im off to sleep now but look forward to seing how you come back from it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 305 ✭✭Imnotthehulk


    That quarter final question is seriously tough. Was glad I didn't get it. Two very good answers.

    I think I would've gone for Hulk Hogan's NWO turn. Probably a bit too obvious.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,166 ✭✭✭Stereomaniac


    Very good stuff from Bounty Hunter & Mr. Nice Guy there. The Rock was the first one that sprang to mind when I saw the question, but now it's not as clear cut seeing Nice Guy's answer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    I'd wait for beaker's answer cos well im your opponent but I believe we should only refer to our opponents answer after our first post.

    Yeah Id always wait until after your first post to reference another answer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Such a tough question for myself and Gerry, its one Im sure WWE creative have trouble with

    Perhaps you guys should send a link to these questions to some of those non-wrestling fans.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Reply up, Sheamus is a hard man to book for these days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Congrats to Omackeral who just about outlasted MrKiscool in their match to win by 7 votes to 5. Great debate from both guys and my commiserations to MrK.

    Omackeral goes on to face ImnottheHulk in the Quarter Final. TBC v Winnie is the last of the first round matches to be rounded up, with the winner facing Cheese Wagstaff in the Q-F.

    I'm about half way through my submission. It's looking like a huge wall of text to me at the minute!

    I re wrote mine 3 times because of the same problem.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,301 ✭✭✭✭gerrybbadd


    Have mine in. Wasnt messing when i said it was a wall of text.

    I think it's worth the time reading though, just hope all that writing doesn't count against me at voting time!

    Love your effort, but not your idea.:rolleyes: By that I mean My rebuttal is up


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    I'mnotthehulk was in quickly with his response so I'm going second again. Have my choice put up so hopefully some of you like the idea.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,301 ✭✭✭✭gerrybbadd


    Rebuttal going in soon. I really need to learn how to multiquote

    It's back to you again my man. One left each!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    The fantastic match up between Bounty Hunter and Mr Nice Guy has now a poll attached, 2 great arguments by each man. A tough one to call.

    Omackeral and ImNotTheHulk are going at it with 2 fantastic ideas for Network shows, too early to call that one with each man one rebuttal left.

    Im in the process of getting my 2nd rebuttal up now Gerry!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Final Rebuttal up and Its been a pleasure Gerry.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 305 ✭✭Imnotthehulk


    Second rebuttal up. Feel like I was all over the place in it, so I hope it's not too bad!

    Thanks dude. I'll get my reply in this evening. Always a pleasure!

    Anyone wanna give me an idea how the multi quote thingy works please?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,853 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    As your only quoting 1 post you can always just add a load of these

    i.e add the last one ( [/quote] ) after the first bit you want quoted then add the first one (
    ) to start the next bit you want quoted. plus of course delete the bits youd on't want quoted in between

    Cheers BH! I was copy pasting in both quote boxes! (Start and end quotes)

    I think imnotthehulk and myself might have smashed a record there with our match, it was less than 24 hours from bell to bell. Really enjoyed that one and who knows, maybe one of our shows will end getting picked up for the Network :D
