Very cool to see Sick Nick in action... But, I fear he's got some tough opposition on the horizon... Have to pick Chaos as one of the favorites to go the distance... Fun stuff!

Amazing TTX! This tournament is unbelievable. I'm going to have to detox after this is over - it was nice to see Danielson, Black, Brody and Chaos advance. The size and caliber of wrestlers involved from all different product lines is stunning. I'm really enjoying your match descriptions as well - concise and powerful. Bravo my friend! Looking forward to more!

Thanks guys, the show rolls on.
Lou Thesz (LC) edged Rush (25) with the Greco-Roman Backdrop. Rush gave Thesz all he could handle but Thesz finally managed to catch Rush with the backdrop and covered him for the three count. Thesz said he would take on any and all gladiators.
Dreadnaught (92) defeated Panther Warrior (31) with the Guided Missile. Warrior was persistent but Dreadnaught was simply too much here battering and tossing him around for a while, dropping him on the floor with the Nuclear Warhead before hitting the Guided Missile for the victory.
Pampero Firpo shocked Swarm (25) with a rollup after Swarm missed a turnbuckle charge. Swarm thought he had Firpo set up only to miss a splash and Firpo rolled him up for the three count.
Kenji put down Lycosa with the Ankle Lock. Kenji dominated most of the match while Lycosa made brief comebacks, Kenji would simply overpower him and take control before putting him in the ankle lock. Lycosa almost made it to the ropes before finally having to tap out.
Claudio Castagnoli (C) defeated Lance At-Las (91) with the Ricola Bomb. This was an even match but Lance missed on a deathjump and Claudio took advantage with the Ricola Bomb to win.
Genocide (09) squashed Death Masque with Corpus Genocide. Death Masque got in a few shots but he never really put Genocide at risk before the big man tossed him into the turnbuckle, blasted him with a lariat and then hit his finisher to score the three.
Commander Sam (30th) pinned Jimmy Hart (L) with the Star Spangled Spin. Sam dominated but Hart somehow kept finding the ropes for a while until two straight Star Spangled Spins to win.
Prime Colonizer quickly defeated Iron Mane with the Colonizer Claw Slam. Iron Mane dominated the short match but Colonizer escaped to the floor and smashed Mane with a chair. He then tossed him back into the ring and hit the Claw Slam for the pin.

Genocide is on the warpath... Another competitor that's gonna be tough to beat...
Would have liked to see Iron Mane get through to the next round... One of my favorites of the pre-NB era... But, PC lands a chairshot for the lucky win...
So many awesome names keep popping up... Impossible to pick a winner... Very nice work!

Gila pinned Ghengis Khan with the Gut Check. This went a long while as neither guy took advantage for a long while. Khan had a few solid shots including a Twin Thrust but finally Gila caught him with the Gut Check for the three count.
Blazing Skull put away Matt Tremont following Death By Fire. Skull had some trouble putting away Tremont but eventually he caught Tremont with Death By Fire and that was too much for Tremont in the end.
Steele Freak finally defeated Quasar with the Frenzied Head Slams. Quasar nearly had it several times but his love of the Boston Crab eventually cost him as Freak made a comeback and eventually pounded him down before using the Head Slams to win the match.
Star Slayer pinned Darkseed with The Apocalypse. Darkseed gave Slayer a good challenge but a sleeper hold wore down the big man and Slayer hooked him into The Apocalypse without even using the rifle.
Ted DiBiase easily handled Red Talon with the Million Dollar Dream. Talon got in a few shots but DiBiase barely noticed as he quickly tossed Talon around before locking in the Dream and Talon quickly passed out.
Mesmer (PP) handled Vidtek (23) with Occult Classic. Vidtek hung around for a while and nearly got the pin following Big Time. Mesmer came back though, catching Vidtek offguard and then locking in Occult Classic for the win.
Monad defeated Eddie Kingston with the Surfboard Submission. Kingston had his moments but managed to lose a chop battle and Monad kept up an offensive flurry that Kingston could only occasionally counter until he fell to having his arm smashed repeatedly into the post before the surfboard was clamped on and he passed out.
Dude Brohan squashed Doomsday Creature with the Big Brohug. Creature coudln't get much offense, but the surprise was how fast he passed out in the bearhug after Dude got one pin attempt and then after some offense was resisted, he went for the Brohug and Creature simply stopped responding as if he was in a deep trance.

Dude Brohan closes this installment in convincing fashion... Could we be treated to Dude vs Pierre somewhere down the line? Great stuff!

Rockin and Rollin TTX! I want to change my pick from Endgame to Lou Thesz. He's gonna at least get to the final heart stopping match! Also good to see The Dude triumph - as Pariah said - Brohan vs Enormous would be awesome!! Greater and Greater Troy!

Disaster put down Mantis with Rampage. Mantis nearly took it with the Pincer Clamp early but Disaster came back with the Decapitator and the Rampage to finally finish things off.
Archon finally put away Oleg the Usurper with the Archon Sleeper Clamp. Oleg was quite the challenge shrugging off blow after blow for a while but eventually Archon used his Elbow Hyperextension and then transitioned to the Sleeper Clamp and Oleg passed out in it.
Shepard put down Big Sue Jackson with a somersault leg drop. Jackson gave a good run and even took a cover following a senton but Shepard was too much dropping Jackson with a series of moves before a leg drop scored the victory.
Mad Jester finished off Blue Meanie with the Dead Man's Verse. Meanie was persistent but Jester was never in trouble here as he toyed around with the Blue Man for a while before tying him into the ropes and hitting his finisher before scoring the three count.
Dan Spivey stunned Pendragon countering a sunset flip and holding the ropes for leverage. No one was expecting this as Pendragon was dominating the match when he tossed Spivey into the ropes only for Spivey to drop down and grab the ropes for a stunning three count. (two rolls of two here)
Colossus (99) handled Burning Man with the Cyborg Deathblow. Burning Man just could not sustain offense and that allowed Colossus to wear him down with a variety of moves before dropping the Deathblow to win.
Ursa Major (09) edged Johnny Kobra with the Titan Victory Roll. Ursa just seemed out of it as Kobra actually had his moments here but finally Major hit the Shotgun Cradle and then followed up with the Victory Roll to gain the pin.
Doomsayer put away Steve O'Reno with the Doomsayer's DDT. Doomsayer had a lot of trouble putting away O'Reno but finally he managed to catch him with the DDT and covered him. After the match, Doomsday Creature appeared and dragged O'Reno away.
