So, assuming you're doing the standard braketing (#1 faces #16, etc.), I will make the bold prediction that Jimmy Valiant will make it to the 2nd round in Bracket B!  My upset special in the first round is Rose & Doring over Brody & Snuka, and I'm picking Jonathan & Kowalski as a Sweet 16 team! |

My upset special in the first round is Rose & Doring over Brody & Snuka, and I'm picking Jonathan & Kowalski as a Sweet 16 team! Yeah, I'm interested to see how Jimmy Valiant and Boogie Woogie Man are in the same ring at the same time. Jonathan and Kowalski over Race and Bock in round 2? Really? Do you figure those 2 egos are too big? My upset special is Hennig and Stevens to the sweet 16. |
