I've had a go but don't think I will do well. As per usual! Although being British, there aren't many wrestlers here that I know so it is guess work but don't want to not take part!

Thank you for organising it - much appreciated.

I second this. I've gone with Pete Dunne as my pick using the uber-scientific method of "we have the same surname".

I don't have the same surname as any of these guys so I went with the equally scientific "coolest sounding name" method.

THAT IS AWESOME!

Thanks for doing this! I don't know anything about UK wrestlers (other than my wife thinks the name "Mandrews" is really stupid) so I expect to get killed.

Nous ne nous pouvons pas sortir.
Hope they do a bunch of "Meet These Dudes" packages like they did with the CWC.

I went with Drake, solely on the fact that his look and presentation reminded me of HHH.

I picked Drake to win it because his finisher is called "Mr. Mayhem." It seemed as good a reason as any. I was pretty disappointed in the pre-tournament show. It hardly told me anything about the competitors.

It's the most important meal of the day.

Thanks everyone for participating. Awesome turnout.

By the numbers:

-14 entries

-8 different tournament winners picked

-Most picked winner, with 4 picks, is Pete Dunne

-12 of 16 wrestlers appear somewhere in someone's final four

-No 2 brackets are entirely alike, though there are 2 brackets with the same winner and final four

Good luck!

I'm curious as to how many of the other 3 are WCPW viewers.

Also, it looks like my plan of going with whomever came first alphabetically netted me a 62% in the first round. I've done far worse with intentional pics.

Welp, I picked the wrong guy. So much for me. Tourney's been fun, though. Having actually seen any of these guys wrestle now, I think that whoever wins Bate/Devlin takes the whole thing. Bate's a great face, but Devlin's heeling it up after busting open Burch (who looked way better than he did in NXT, incidentally) and that weird quick finish (I assume because he busted open Burch) really saved what could have been a real disaster.

Let's go Tyler Bate! Chosen for the most sophomoric of reasons.

If you go out of your way to watch the second day of the tournament, you will not be disappointed.

I agree with this. I watched it this morning and am very glad I did. Some great matches, moves and action.

I knew I should've added a tiebreaker. Congrats to "KJames199 ~~doesn't~~ DOES know about UK wrestling" and "Totally ~~wrong~~ RIGHT and ineffective"

I thought night one was good and night two was excellent. Loved the presentation, hated the crowd. Most surprising moment was the ROH shirt in the front row getting an entire night's worth of camera time. Went in never having seen any of these guys perform and came away loving almost everybody, most especially Moustache Mountain.

FYI - Moustache Mountain are currently the reigning CHIKARA Tag Team champs.

I can't believe that my picks were neither (mostly) correct and effective.

To answer in a nutshell, I like clothing that is aesthetically pleasing to me. Many of WWE's recent shirts have followed a trend of having a quite pleasing front and then a back that I would never want to wear in public.

- spf, Which Finlay shirt would you buy? (2006)
