So, like mentioned previously, I am gonna draw from this field to get 4 groups of 8 matches. I will be doing this throughout the day. So keep an eye out. After I get finished, I will post Group A to continue the Tournament.

Now, from here on out, Ties will be determined as such: If there is a tie, whoever I vote for is Eliminated. Seems the fairest way to me. So, time to crank up the Random Number Generator.

OK, took my morning nap, cooked lunch and dinner for a few days, time for the second set:

In Group A: The Dream Team of Valentine and Beefcake take on The Crusher and Dick the Bruiser (Man, the placement of that "the" makes ALL of the difference).
Gene and Ole, The Minnesota Wrecking Crew, look to rip the arms off of the Fantastics

In Group B: Headbangers step out of the mosh pit and into the ring to square off with the Motor City Machine Guns.
The Headshrinkers take on Badd Company

In Group C: The Eliminators look to do better than Public Enemy did against the APA.
Harlem Heat vs. Beer Money Inc. Can you Dig it, SUCKA? No? Well, Sorry About your Damned Luck.

In Group D: Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood do battle with the Rougeau Brothers in what can only be described as a battle of All American Boys
The Mulkeys vs. The Dudleyz. Get the Tables, because Mulkeymania is running wild!

How are we voting?

This seems such a weird setup.

[Vastardikai]

There will be a post coming when I get done with the draws for the Groups. Speaking of, more matches...

Group A:
Destruction Crew of Mike Enos and Wayne Bloom are up against Rob Fuller and Jimmy Golden, the Stud Stable.
Fabulous Ones go up against the New Day in a match where questionable gyrations take on questionable music videos.

Group B:
FTR takes on the US Express. Will it be Barry and Mike? Or, will it be the Top Guys?
Sheepherders vs the Gangstas in a match where New Jack and Mustafa face the only two guys who may be bigger maniacs than they are.

Group C:
Steiner Brothers against Brisco Brothers. 4 legit athletes in this one. A surprise gem of a match.
Brain Busters take on the British Bulldogs. Group C is getting some awesome matches.

Group D:
World's Greatest Tag Team vs. the Islanders. Can the technical prowess of Haas and Benjamin take down the out and out meaness of Haku and Tama?
Team Hell No! go against the Outsiders in a battle of Superteams.

I am gonna eat dinner, then I will wrap up the drawing. Group A will be up shortly after that for voting.

[Vastardikai]

Dinner was good. Marinated Chicken Tenders marinated in barbeque sauce, Corn, Green Beans, Cheez-Its and an Orange. Good stuff.

Now, let's wrap up the draw...

Group A:
Rock n Roll Express takes on The American Wolves in a great match between on the all time best and one of the best of today.
Strike Force vs the Bar. The last match in Group A is a classic blend of the speed of Martel and Santana against the power of Cesaro and Sheamus.

Group B:
Nasty Boys take on the Rockers. Can the Rockers explosive tag team offense handle a trip to Nastyville?
Miracle Violence Connection do battle with the Midnight Express. A tough draw for both guys, who could have easily been in the finals.

Group C:
Briscoes face Patterson and Stephens. This should be a fight.
The Young Bucks close out Group C against the Blue Bloods. Will there be a Superkick Party, or will Regal and Taylor tie the Bucks in a knot?

Group D:
Wild Samoans take on Demolition. Two of the best old school WWF Tag Teams of all time.
The Final match in the First Round is Edge and Christian vs the Freebirds duo of Michael Hayes and Jimmy Garvin.
