Is AJ who you had figured it was or did I actually swerve you?

Honestly, I did not plan it this way... But, if all my picks come to fruition, then each team will have four members remaining for the second round... Can't ask for more drama than that...

DAY 1

MICHAEL BENNETT
/w/ Maria Kanellis
defeated by PIN
IRON SHEIK 2
/w/ Lou Albano

- The Sheik was 'TOTALLY' distract by Maria and her assets.
- The Prodigy on the other hand was all business and took it to the Iranian Olympian.

NXT : 1
GWF : 0





GORGEOUS GEORGE
/w/ Cherie Dupre'
defeated by SUB
KENNY OMEGA 4

- UNBELIEVABLE SHOCKER!!!! (I couldn't believe what I was rolling and didn't want to record the outcome but the dice never lie.)
- Omega was caught off guard by the unorthodox George and got taken to the mat quick.
- The Gorgeous one was like a dog with a bone, not letting Kenny get to his feet.
- Omega fought from his back as long as he could but in the end had no choice but to tap out to the Spinning Toehold.



GWF : 1
NXT : 1






* Backstage Lou Thesz corners Buddy Rogers "You started this mess with your old school challenge, so if I don't see you in the finals then you'll see me in Phoenix and I'm going to kick your ass for not finishing what you started!" Shoves Rogers into the wall and walks off.







HARLEY RACE 2
defeated by PIN
CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI 5

- Harley survived an early flurry but took control after a brawl on the floor.

LOU THESZ 5
defeated by PIN
EC3 4

- FOUR STARS!
- Thesz might have underestimated his opponent and EC3 came close to winning several times.

GWF : 3
NXT : 1







BUDDY ROGERS 1
/w/ Bobby Heenan
defeated by SUB
CHRISTOPHER DANIELS 1

- Perhaps it was the pep talk by Thesz but regardless Rogers looked deadly focused.
- There is no escape from the (+4 best in the game) Figure Four Grapevine and The Fallen Angel found that out.



GWF : 4
NXT : 1





NXT CHAMPION
JAY LETHAL
defeated by PIN
CURT HENNIG 3

- Hennig appeared very disenchanted from the start, like he didn't want to be here.

BOBO BRAZIL

Possibly the grandest Predator Promotions show to date... And that is saying something... HOLY SNAP!

[Deleted]

Thanks for the predictions Pariah, your constant support is very much appreciated.


P1 huh? You are looking more and more like an AJ mark.

George beating Omega crushed me and wanted to disregard and just 'kay fabe' say Omega won but could bring myself to do it.

Don't count out the Bucks against the Warriors, the Midnight & Rock-Roll Express were 'small' tag teams back in the day but held their own against the Roadies.




On a side note I think I've come to the conclusion the ROH tier one guys are too strong for a legends fed. They're the alphas of ROH and stats are based accordingly (Styles, Lynn, Black and Steen), I'm at impasse and unsure what to do. Chikara guys are the same way, could you ever really see Ophidian or UMB beating Thesz or Rogers?.... but with their stats, which are based on them according to OTHER Chikara guys, they can. I just don't know.
