    Cracking match up between beakerjoe and Hashtag_Heel. I'm in favour of both lads choices so far so whoever sells it best will get my vote. Both are very entertaining ideas and could work pretty well. Just on the Rose/Kruger thing, I recall a while back there was a vignette backstage where Adam Rose looked in a mirror and saw a 'lemon' (aka a buzzkill) staring back. I thought they could've given HH's idea a run then. All in all, a great match so far.

    I remeber this,it turned out to be a comedy segemnt . Ah WWE

    My final rebuttal is also up, great game HH. Youre a tough cookie

    BH can throw a poll up when he gets a chance.

    Cracking game so far, well done Beaker

    Cheers. I'm very surprised at the margin of victory which I think is harsh on Stereomaniac. It was a fun debate and I wanna say good game to him and thanks.

    If I'm not mistaken my next match-up will be against Bounty Hunter which I'm not looking forward to as I know he's very good. He would have been one I'd look to avoid, but sure I'll give it a go.

    Ill throw the poll up when you have it done and cheers for the kind words MNG though I think until last year (co-incidentally the first time I didn't run it) when I went on a nice little run I always crashed out in the first round having got the one question that could completely stump me every year.

    anywhoo time for our draft rivalry to get re-ignited.

    Very well thought out ideas. I'm impressed!

    The TSC and Gerry poll isn't private. Not sure if it's supposed to be?

    I had no idea Scott Hall was never a WCW champion. That's quite a pick!

    This is the best ATH tournament yet in my opinion. The latest question is yet another doozy with loads of scope.

    Wow. HH really fired up for the comeback!

    I love the split personality idea but I'm not convinced by Rose' ability to pull it off. If they treated it seriously it could really work for a guy that's practically dead on his feet which as HH pointed out was the point of the question.

    Also a huge Sandow fan, he's a brilliant talker and has huge charisma. I love the idea of leaving him off tv and giving him a revamp. Perhaps I'd be in favour of wiping the slate clean and looking for a way to utilise his mic skills and natural charisma.

    Flip of a coin decision.

    Great battle, if I loss I know I gave it a good go and lost to a well deserving opponent, if I win I know I earned it.

    Good luck my friend

    maybe I should re-open the poll on that one.

    Could reflect (the low number of voters) just how close your two arguments were with some not sure which way to vote so abstained, which of course it being a tie would also indicate.

    Usually in the case of a draw like this we went for sudden death vote, where next to pick up 1 would win but I could open it for another day and see what happens as it'l be a while till the next rd starts anyway as we havent even added polls for some Qs yet iirc

    I'd say it being the weekend was also a factor in the low vote for those lads. Perhaps it would be best to stick up the poll for another 48 hours?
