Wow 128 teams is some serious tournament action.

[Humanoids4eva]

The 128 team tourney will take awhile and am looking forward to many upsets! A few teams will play Cinderella I suspect.Looking forward to the results.

I played a 16-team tournament last year where the #16 seed East Coast Enforcers (DDP & Lou Albano) survived two rounds: beating #1 seed Hawk and Animal then toppling Beefcake & Valentine before losing to the Rock N Roll Express.

Round 1 Night 1

1. Triple M (Cheerleader Melissa/Mercedes Martinez) demolished Los Ice Creams when Melissa pinned Ice Cream Jr. after the Air Raid Crash. This was short and sweet (excuse the pun) as there was never a tag before Melissa lifted up Ice Cream Jr and dropped him down for the three count. (ICJ rolled a 3)

2. Osirian Portal demolished Los Primos Rivera when Ophidian used his regular Death Grip to finish off Gino. This was very close early but once Ophidian and Amasis got on a roll, it was no contest as they pounded the heck out of Gino bloodying him hardway at one point until the Death Grip put his shoulders down.

3. Unbreakable Machines held off Milk Chocolate when Cage pinned Summers after Weapon X. The Machines got a surprise challenge and for a bit it looked like Cage might be in trouble but he spiked Summers coming off the top turnbuckle before lifting him into Weapon X for the victory.

4. The Valiant Brothers bested C and C Wrestling Factory when Jimmy Valiant pinned Cedric Alexander after an atomic drop. The Valiants toyed with Alexander as Coleman only managed to get into the ring for a pair of pin saves but Jimmy simply dropped Alexander with an atomic drop and then held him down for the pin.

5. All Night Express beat Team FIST (Icarus/Akuma) following Coronation on Icarus. This was a surprise challenge as FIST dominated but King suddenly reversed on Icarus and hit Coronation for the three count. (Icarus rolled snake eyes)

6. The Batiri edged Team Slap Happy when Kodama used the Flying Blockbuster on Heidi Lovelace. Evie and Heidi were the definite underdogs here as they were outsized and outpowered but they gave the Batiri fits for a long while until Kodama managed to catch Lovelace on the floor and slammed her backfirst into the ringpost. From there, he tossed her into the ring and delivered the Flying Blockbuster for the win.

7. Double Axe Attack finished off Scarlet and Graves following The Axe on Wentz. Wentz and Xavier nearly pulled off the upset here but they couldn't keep Curt down and Curt eventually started to wear both of them down. He decided to give his father the honors though and Larry drilled Wentz with the Axe for the pin.

8. Inner City Machine Guns overcame Undisputed Era when Ricochet put down Roderick Strong with the 630 Senton. Cole and Strong had their shots but the problem was they simply couldn't keep up with Ricochet and Swann's offensive production. Every time it looked like they had a chance, the Guns came back. Finally, they started pounding down Strong who would not stay down as he kept kicking out. In the end, Ricochet managed to hit the Senton for a second time (Cole kicked out of one early) and this time Strong just couldn't get out in time. (He actually rolled a 12 but it was a PIN of 14)

Night 2

1. Los Rancheros upset Sky High after a Rogelio big flying shoulderblock on Van Dam. No one was expecting this but somehow Rogelio and Raul survived the attack and somehow Rogelio hit a big shoulderblock that stunned RVD long enough to score the upset.

2. Too Cool handled Team BDK with the Hip Hop Drop on Sanchez. This was a nice little match with the heels getting in a few shots but mostly Too Cool had fun, danced and then finished off their opponents followed by even more dancing.

3. Heavenly Bodies held off The Rep following a Prichard elbow drop on McCall. The Rep gave it a good go and for a while each time it looked like the Bodies were starting to dominate, the Rep in the ring would manage to tag out but finally the Bodies hit a Flapjack and a couple more double teams before Prichard dropped an elbow and Carter was one moment too late to make the save.

4. EYFBO squashed Team CCK after the Villano Killah on Brookes. Kid Lykos never managed to get into the ring officially as EYFBO just battered Brookes all over the ring and each time he nearly made a tag it was cut off. Eventually they hit their tag finisher and Ortiz held him down for the three count.

5. Rock and Soul demolished S-N-S Expreess after the Rocker Dropper on Stephie. Scorpio and Nevaeh never ended up in the ring as Jannetty quickly took Stephie down with just two moves before using the Rocker Dropper and covering for the pin.

6. Creatures of the Deep edged Punch Drunk when Samson passed out in the Flat Crab. Crawdad and Crab had troubles especially with Fontaine but they managed to hang on and then took advantage of Samson and Crab managed to lock on the Flat Crab. Samson tried to escape but he could not and passed out in the hold.

7. Team DIY easily defeated Four Star Heroes when Gargano used Garga-No Escape (+1). Gargano and Ciampa took it to Castro and Knicks and each battered their opponents. Eventually Gargano dropped Knicks hard to the mat and then clamped on Garga-No Escape and Knicks could not escape and was forced to tap.

8. Mulligan Clan bested Bloc Party when Windham pinned Sabar following a big suplex. The Bloc Party frustrated Blackjack and Barry for a little while but eventually a couple lariats turned things around and then Barry picked up Sabar and delivered a powerful suplex and a cover while Blackjack booted Mr. A out of the ring to stop any pin save attempt.

Night 3

1. Nightmare Warriors defeated The Iron Monkeys when Hallowicked used the Yakuza Kick on Gregory Iron. Gregory Iron and Space Monkey gave it a go but the Warriors barely seemed to register any of their attacks before Hallowikced drilled Iron with a huge Yakuza Kick knocking him down for the three.

2. Bale Spin knocked off Premier Athletic Brand when Bale used Bale Out on Nese. No one expected the girls to dominated the boys but they did here as Bale Spin just took it to Nese and wouldn't even allow Konley into the ring before taking Nese down.

3. The Valentines demolished Brothers of Funstruction when Greg put down Ruffo with a falling elbow hammer. Ruffo and Yabo never stood a chance as the Valentines used a series of elbows to rough up Ruffo before Greg dropped a final elbow hammer and covered for the win while Johnny drilled Yabo with an Atomic Skullcrusher.

4. Xyberhawx 2000 bested The Carnies when Sylverhawk pinned Iggy after the Xyber Splash. The Hawx dominated making sure Awful could not do much and working Iggy over with various high flying maneuvers. The Hawx dropped Awful to the floor with a double flying shoulder before finishing off Iggy.

5. The Fantastics overcame The Classic Connection following the Rocket Launcher on Shapiro. The Fantastics showed that their tag skills as the Classic Connection just could not keep up. The Connection tried to take it back with some dirty moves but eventually Fulton put Shapiro down and then Rogers scored the pin after the Rocket Launcher.

6. Beauty and the Beast stunned The Briscoes following a Fierce Blue Thunder Bomb on Jay Briscoe. (Jay rolled snake eyes) The Briscoes probably should have won this easily but Fierce lifted up a knee on a turnbuckle charge briefly stunning Jay. Fierce followed up with a Blue Thunder Bomb and his feet on the ropes for additional leverage.

7. Death Haze handled Los Banditos when Del Rey used the Royal Butterfly on Tito Escondido. Death Haze had some definite problems with the Banditos but Haze managed to get in stopping the double teams on Del Rey. She wore Escondido down and then tagged in Del Rey who locked on the Royal Butterfly forcing Escondido to tap.

8. War Machine battered Catch Point when Hanson pinned Yehi following War Machine. Catch Point seemed to spend more time arguing with each other than teaming and Hanson and Rowe took advantage of this as they used several double teams before catching Yehi and putting him down. Williams did not even attempt a pin save.

Absolutely rockin stuff all over TTX!

This 128 team tournament is epic, shocked to see The Briscoes go out in the first round.

The Mulligan Clan gets it done - I hope they win it all.

War Machine is as War Machine does.

Question for you, Xyberhawx 2000 is that a team from the NAWC, Krazy Kards?

It's been awhile since I was at Kevin's website, will have to check it out!

Great seeing Sara Del Rey getting the submission victory for her team.

Outrageousness!

[TTX]

They're from Chikara.

Just a note depending on how official you count ToasterBoy's Hollywood stuff, everyone is official (so no Blanchard and Anderson or Masters of the Power Bomb or Freebirds for instance)

Night 4

3.0 knocked off Philly's Most Wanted when Matthews pinned Jeez after the 3.0 Lung Blower. This was a surprisingly quick match with Ruckus never even managing to get into the ring as a Flash Rollup by Parker was quickly followed by 3.0's tag finisher and Jeez was down for the pin.

Million Dollar Corporation crushed Jollyville Jeepers following the Atlantic City Avalanche on Jerk. Clean and Jerk gave it a go and they frustrated Bundy and DiBiase for a while by refusing to stay down but eventually Bundy's size proved too much. He hit the Avalanche and DiBiase dropped Clean to the floor. Bundy demanded the five count and Jerk nearly kicked out but was one moment too late.

Regeneration-X held off The Kingdom (Bennett/Taven) following a Superhero Kick on Taven.
Dressed as Rick and Morty, Regeneration-X avoided the women outside the ring and took it to Bennett and Taven. Taven made a brief comeback but a double team set up a Superhero Kick by Bates and a cover for the three.

World's Greatest Tag Team battered The Armstrongs when Benjamin pinned Brad after Leap of Faith. WGTT really took it to Bob for a while but he came back with a Georgia Jawjacker. Brad came in and had a near fall with the Russian Leg Sweep but made a mistake late that led to Benjamin hitting Paydirt before he and Haas exected the Leap of Faith for the win.

Sandwich Squad overcame The Kingdom (O'Ryan/Marseglia) when Biggs used Hero Sandwich on O'Ryan. Vinnie and T.K. had their problems with their opponents' size advantage. They could not even take advantage on the floor and eventually Merc and Biggs hit their finisher and T.K. could not kick out.

SCUM narrowly edged The Tribe after Jacobs used the Railroad Spike on Navajo. SCUM dominated early but Navajo was making a comeback when right in front of the referee, Jacobs drilled him with the Railroad Spike. Somehow, the referee decided it was no disqualification because he counted the fallen Navajo Warrior down for the pin.

The Rumblebees bested The Headsmen when Darling pinned Executioner after two Fisherwoman's Neckbreakers. Executioner and Death Knight's dirty tactics nearly stole them a win here but the Bees hung tough as Huckabee locked on a Sugar Stretch and then two Darling Neckbreakers got the victory.

ReDDragon squashed The Kimber Bombs when Fish caught Cherry with the Flying Fish Hook. The Bombs tried to frustrate their opponents but they couldn't keep O'Reilly or Fish down and when Cherry Bomb made a mistake, Fish quickly capitalized and put her down for the three count to advance.
