Sticky this please.

**Lock Jaw** · 04-28-2009, 05:20 PM

First time I'm paying attention to this Dream Card Tournament thing. Interesting idea. Would probably have made my own if I didn't only pay attention to it now.

Anyways, second one gets my vote. First one just has too many cluster**** matches. The second one only has one.

If I get more responses I may start another tournament a little bit after this one ends.

**James Steele** · 04-28-2009, 05:36 PM

I like the 2nd one better, the first one seems to just be throwing big names against each other and hoping for the best, while the 2nd one puts thought into the matchups and the pairings of the opponents. Also, the Hogan/Austin finish is the best finish I have ever heard. I wish somebody would just hit their finish on Hogan when he hulked up and wagged his finger at them like a moron.

**Nicky Fives** · 04-28-2009, 06:02 PM

The Dawning..... that was a crazy card..... the 20 Man BR & War Games would be awesome

**PorkSoda** · 04-28-2009, 06:58 PM

I liked Dawnings. 20 Man Cruiserweight, War Games, and Bobby Heenan. Plus Cactus Jack and Funk in an I Quit match? I'd kill to see that.

**mike adamle** · 04-28-2009, 07:14 PM

2nd one seemed more realistic and less rediculous... the other one had a 24 minute battle royal... that'd bore after a while

**The Gold Standard** · 04-28-2009, 10:46 PM

Immortal war. It has the better undercard which made the card for me. I like the Main event on The Dawning though.

**Krimzon7** · 04-29-2009, 12:23 AM

Immortal war has the better under....

what TGS said.

**FourFifty** · 04-29-2009, 03:56 AM

Both cards are booked very well... Hell, better than I could book them (because somehow Kane would be in the main event in a "tattoo your mask on the opponent match").

What sold me on The War was the main event. First off massive props to anyone in this day and age to put Steamboat in the Main Event. A little risky, and I liked it! Anyone could put Steve Austin and Sting in the main event, but to put Ricky Steamboat in there takes some balls.
Also, the main event was sold a lot better. I loved the idea of "2.9999". Let's face it, as fans we've all sworn we heard the ref hit the three count on a close call. 2.9999 is exactly what it feels like.

Much respect to both people. While neither card was better booked The War was better written. Hell, as a member of the Kliq I should be damning this card because Bret Hart outlasted Triple H and Ric Flair in the fatal fourway, let alone the fact that Bret Hart never tapped.

Massive props to both guys, and it was a close call, but The War was better than the Dawn by a fraction.

**Evil Vito** · 04-29-2009, 09:26 AM

Yeah, Immortal War slightly edges out The Dawning for me due to the undercard and overall scripting - I just can't see a 24 minute battle royal...if it was a 24 minute gauntlet match of some sort I'd have to give it the nod cause that would rule.

**Loose Cannon** · 04-29-2009, 10:45 AM

I am going to vote on these based on the cards and the cards alone. Basically, which card would I purchase a ticket or purchase the PPV to. I am not voting on results.

And for this one, The Dawning gets the ticket from me here. Tell you what, that Wargames match sold it for me alone. That would be epic.

I would of been pissed at that Pillman turn though.

I think the main events are the first matches on each card. A little weird but I'm pretty sure that was how Show Off wanted them.

I chose The Dawning, btw

**The Optimist** · 04-30-2009, 04:09 AM

Voted against The Dawning because of the silly Sting/Austin ending.

**Rammsteinmad** · 04-30-2009, 01:12 PM

Voted the Immortal War just to see Chris Jericho VS Owen Hart.

**The Show Off** · 05-01-2009, 01:59 PM

2 and a half hours left.

**mike adamle** · 05-01-2009, 05:34 PM

are you doing the next one today?

**Volare** · 05-02-2009, 12:07 PM

War gets my vote...overall both cards look amazing, plus I can actually see them in my head when I imagine it.

**Mr. Nerfect** · 05-03-2009, 08:20 AM

Immortal War gets my vote. Chris Jericho vs. Owen Hart sounds amazing. The only difference I would make is to somehow get Kurt Angle vs. Bret Hart as its own match on the card.

**The Taint** · 05-03-2009, 07:51 PM

They both fucking suck.

The winner, quite obviously was "Immortal War" which will advance to the second round....

The loser... The Dawning was written by #1-wwf-fan.

The next match should be up shortly.

Yeah, I meant to throw an "almost" in there as opposed to it sounding like Austin actually passed out and then miraculously recovered. To be more specific, the thought I had was for Austin to be busted open and Sting to have him in the Scorpion Deathlock and for the commentators to say how eerily similar this was to that other match.

Eventually Austin somehow finds his second wind, not wanting history to repeat itself and is abloe to get to the ropes. Then he ends it with a kick to the gut catching Sting charging for the Stinget Splash and a Stunner followed by a quick pin.
