[Humanoids4eva]

Here is my traditional tournament using the expansion set. Winner receives a title match and also features a triple threat elimination tag team match with the British Bulldogs, Powers of Pain, and Killer Bees.

Round 1
Koko B. Ware upset Don Muraco with a swinging neck breaker (snake eyes)

Adrian Adonis def. Manny Fernandez with a gut wrench back breaker.

George Steele pinned Virgil

Bob Orton, Jr. Pinned Hillbilly Jim after 3 SUPERPLEX tries.



Semifinals
Adonis used GOODNIGHT IRENE to down Ware

Steele W-DQ over Orton after Mr. Fuji used his cane to trip George.


Final
George Steele won the tournament over Adonis after two FLYING HAMMERLOCKS. Jimmy Hart could not bail out Adonis in time. Steele will challenge Macho Man Randy Savage for the Prime Time Championship.



Triple Threat Elimination Tag Team
Killer Bees won the match over British Bulldogs and Powers of Pain.

Eliminations:
Davey Boy Smith pinned Warlord with a sunset flip off the ropes (POP eliminated).

Killer Bees won the match eliminating the Bulldogs with a BEE STING on Smith.

Killer Bees are number one contenders!

Great stuff! Congrats Animal! And Killer Bees is a surprise win but fun.

Those wicked snake eyes again 😳

Was hoping for Muraco to face Adonis or Manny and ultimately Orton. Oh well, that is how the dice roll. Orton and Jim had a great match as Jim kicked out of the Superplex. Ace tried the cast but it did not connect! The Animal's hammerlock tore up Orton and Adonis in fun matches.

Bees and Bulldogs had a good match after the Powers of Pain lost. Warlord lost in the first pin attempt with his 4 pin rating.

Sometimes that very low rolls can make matches very short.Maybe if the pin is not achieved through a Finisher,you could roll twice for the pin roll?
On the other hand storyline based such a loss can set up some good new directions.

Glad to see the upsets and surprises. I only use the champions advantage for my top singles title to avoid fluke wins.

My other titles, especially tags do not need the double roll. Funny, Koko B. Ware is likely king of wins like that. He beat Destroyer in the early b/w days for my IC Title. He had a good streak to earn the shot as he beat people like Gorgeous George and Ox Baker. He also had a few interesting defenses. So maybe the dice love Koko..

My dice loved B&W Koko, giving him victories against the likes of Harley Race and Bob Orton Jr.
