What a way to wrap up round two of the tournament. Vader is gone and so is Angle. The Great Gama is the only seeded competitor in the top half of the draw which has now wide open for anyone to advance out of. Former tournament winners Road Warrior Hawk & Nick Bockwinkel are still in the hunt. In the bottom half of the draw, Andre the Giant is the front runner. Will anyone remaining be able to stop The Giant from claiming his first tournament title?
Sweet sixteen is next!
