To quote Chad Olson, "It was a small, but mighty group!" (That's how it goes, right TDalton
Talk about a fun way to spend a Saturday, nothing better than doing it with Fellow Promoters! HUGE thanks to TDalton (who drove all the way from Buffalo, NY to be here...6.5 hours IN THE RAIN BOTH WAYS!), Mike (who delivers faster than the USPS and coaxed a "crap ton of 6s" from the dice), Andy (who made the day of decision to make the drive down from Jersey!), and to Louden Noxious (aka: Jack D)(who rolled up in his CA Convertible Mustang, unfortunately it was a "top up weather" type of day) ALL of whom made GoP1 a blast! 15 fantastic matches, 8 hours of comradery and many minutes of tomfoolery...add pizza, and a few different homemade treats made courtesy of Lori and cannot forget Opal (the resident kitten) making a run in to toss the RAIDERS dice (she loves them Vegas!!) around a bit...yep GoP1 was a HIT! (Unfortunately, ~KB~ was unable to make it due to a last-minute issue, buuuuutttttt he will...and I mean WILL be here for GoP2.)
The GoP1 Tournament was a 16-man, single elimination, "Pick your Favorites...FROM ANY Edition & ANY LINE of Filsinger Games" tournament. All Promoters selected 3 of their favorites and since we had an odd number of Promoters, one attendee won the right to select a fourth entrant. The determination as to whom got the pick was, of course, a roll of the dice...there was a 3, another 3, and then ANOTHER 3, then a 5 broke the 3-streak...BUT a dramatic roll of a 6 (by yours truly, yep me) earned me highly coveted fourth entrant.
The tournament entrants were:
Here's how it went down!!!!
Rounds 1 and 2 - Standard Matches, Round 3 - TitanDeath Match, Final - TitanDeath Match...WILDER Version!
In Round 1, each match pitted different Promoters facing off...and matches would be re-seated as needed so that no Promoter would have to play a match on his own with two of his own entrants...unless it was the Final Match.
Round 1:
Mayhem over Bob Backlund (w/ Danger Zone)
Matador of M83 over Mr. Centra (w/ Bullwhip)
Akuma the Ninja over Death Knight (w/ a moonsault)
Shanye over Omega (via DQ)
End of Days over DragonMaster (w/ Unlimited Power)
Bex over Andre The Giant (w/ Ground Zero)
Buddy Rogers over William Muldoon (with Figure Four Grapevine)
Exotic Adrian Street over Alpha Force (via DQ)
Round 2:
Matador of M83 over Mayhem (w/ Bullwhip)
Shanye over Akuma the Ninja (after sitting down on Sunset-flip pin attempt off the ropes)
Bex over End of Days (w/ Pain of Bex)
Buddy Rogers over Exotic Adrian Street (with Figure Four Grapevine)
Semi-Finals (the Semi-Finals (Round 3) were re-seated so that Jack did not have to have two of his entrants face off against each other):
Matador of M83 over Bex (w/ Bullwhip)
Buddy Rogers over Shayne (w/ a piledriver)
Finals:
Buddy Rogers over Matador of M83 (with Figure Four Grapevine)
