PW Boards TNA Heavyweight Championship Tournament

Necro

Magnus for me. Ken shamrock another I barely remember that was in TNA

LeeJM

Shamrock just for the awesomeness of his sideburns. And he had a surprisingly good title defense vs Malice

beakerjoe

Magnus for me too...

brianregan09

Shamrock for me can't really remember either reign but i always loved shamrock really deserved a WWE reign

Moneymaker

Shamrock. Magnus had an atrocious run, even if it wasn't really his fault.

Omackeral

Magnus taps out to the inaugural champion in a tight tussle. We move onto the final bout of Round 1, it's triple threat rules.

Sting

The Icon






Vs




Jeff Jarrett

The Chosen One





Vs



Christian Cage

The Instant Classic

LeeJM

Jarrett for me. He had some awful runs with the title but he also had some enjoyable ones. Has had more meaningful title matches than anybody else not named AJ in TNAs history too

Necro

While I would agree with the sentiment above re: Jarrett, I have to vote for Christian. A defining chapter of his career reaching the top of the mountain. This is the toughest one yet though

beakerjoe

Jarrett for me, mr tna

riffmongous

I go for Christian, I was a big fan of his back when he jumped ship, and that's what got me into TNA, the celebration after his first title win was great, felt like a big deal

JJ all day. Only Bobby Roode had a better run in my eyes

chopperbyrne

Jeff Jarrett, but Sting and Christian would have won against anyone else in the tournament so far.

Imnotthehulk

Sting.

Jarrett was great, but when before Sting came along JJ was trading the title with people who (at the time at least) didn't have great name value. Sting winning it helped bring the value of the title, (and the worthiness of the promotion in fan's eyes) up several levels.

Kankan14

I give it to christian.just.

Sick draw

Omackeral

In this round we introduce all Triple Crown winners into the tournament so expect some tougher decisions. Three votes will see a competitor into the quarter finals.

Kurt Angle

The Wrestling Machine







Vs



Ken Shamrock

The World's Most Dangerous Man

beakerjoe

Angle. I really shouldnt have to explain

LeeJM

I really wanna vote for Kenny but I just cant justify it. Angle it is. Also an Angle vs Shamrock would be AWFUL

riffmongous

Has to be Angle of course

Necro

Angle. One of the best TNA or WWE ever had to offer.

gerrybbadd

Kurt Angle for me, Blud.

One of the very best ever. I'm a Shamrock fan, but Kurt is on another level entirely

Omackeral

The Olympic Hero cruises into the last 8 without a blemish. Next up we have seemingly very familiar match that occurs in these tournaments.

Jeff Hardy

The Anti-Christ of Professional Wrestling






Vs




Matt Hardy

The Only World Heavyweight Champion That Matters

LeeJM

Even a stoned Jeff is better than any version of Matt. Jeff for me

Necro

Yep, Jeff here for me too

Angron

Jeff was always the more popular. I'll vote for him, in spite of the ugly belt that he inflicted on the world.

beakerjoe

Matt Hardy for me, hes off to a great start already as champion, something Jeff never looked comfortable with in TNA

Omackeral

Jeff finally beats his older brother in the tournament setting having lost previously in the European and Light Heavyweight editions. Next up looking to advance we have...

Jeff Jarrett

The Chosen One







Vs



Bobby Lashley

The Destroyer

Angron

Jarrett, easy. He was the big fish in TNA for a long time, while I still struggle to think of Lashley as anything other than kinda bland.

chopperbyrne

Jarrett easily, as he's actually entertaining.

Necro

Yep, Jarrett here too

Moneymaker

All I remember about Double J is fans chanting "drop the belt" but that's still more then I remember about Lashley.

Jarrett.
