Super Metroid > Super Bomberman 2 16-2
TIE Fighter > Road Rash 10-7
Streets of Rage 3 > Emit 13-1
Policenauts > Jurassic Park 9-5

The fact that Super Bomberman 2 was a #16 seed shows how excellent 1994 was because it too is a great game; it just happened to be against one of the all-time greats. Besides Jurassic Park giving Policenauts a slight scare, these results were mostly expected.

Why is Road Rash listed as 3DO? (Don't answer that. I just think of it exclusively as a Genesis game.)

The Genesis classics might get in the Best of 91 and 92 tournaments! >_>

OT: King of Fighters 94 > Mega Man 6 20-17 (10-7 in OT!)

Two upsets ahoy! King of Fighters 94 holds off the last Mega Man game on the NES. Meanwhile, the last NES game stuns an arcade racing classic by one vote!

Holy hell at this schlocking by Donkey Kong, producing the second biggest shutout in tournament history. The Jungle Book games are solid adaptations, but it DID just barely squeak into the tournament and had to face the overall #1. Sometimes, it is what it is.

Also, King of Fighters hanging in there!

On a real note, in regards to the alt controversy, I'm using banshiryu's quote from his topic:

If I am making an error in my belief that these are all coming from one person, I am happy to hear clarification on this whole situation. And even if they are all just your alts I'm still just as happy to keep allowing your participation under just one account as the more people we have the merrier! I just want to make sure people do not get artificial advantage from faking more nomination slots.

I'm not 100% pulling the trigger on any actions, but I will see what nominations would be affected by all this

It is a reference to this

If you don't want to read, all five accounts could potentially come from one user

-_-

While not confirmed, I see what you mean, but will wait for further guidance.

It shouldn't have to be said, but if you have alts...

1) Don't use them
2) Have some integrity. At least one tournament was potentially ruined due to alts in 2012

Guess it's time for a quick update on who The Man is across all brands and lineages...

WWE's The Man: Cody Rhodes
Ric Flair's final singles loss The Man: CM Punk
AEW's The Man: Swerve Strickland
WWE's The Man, Ladies Edition: Rhea Ripley
Custody Rights to Dominik Mysterio: Cody Rhodes

Grand Slam updates: No new Grand Slam champs have happened since Finn Balor last September. The following WWE stars are just one title away though:

Cody (US title)
Priest (IC title)
Strowman (US title)
Lashley (Tag title)
Sheamus (IC title)
Nakamura (World title)
McIntyre (US title)
Big E (US title - return to action unlikely though)

The following are 1 title away from being 2x Grand Slam champions (joining Miz, Rollins, and technically Jericho and Jeff Hardy)
Rey Mysterio (World title)
Kofi (World title)

How it looks so far based on current votes (Nothing confirmed, can change depending on future votes)

3 seed: Wario Land
4 seed: Policenauts

6 seed: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (SNES)

10 seeds: Bust a Move, Contra, AVP Arcade, Beavis

13 seeds: Jurassic Park, Panorama, Monster World IV, either Magical Quest or Power Rangers (Genesis)

14 seeds: Warcraft, Wario's Woods

16 seeds: Super Bomberman 2, Samurai Showdown 2, Sparkster, Jungle Book

I cant decide if the backlash card is great or trash lol

at first glance it looks awful, and then thinking about it it looks like it could hit on a lot, then thinking about it more I switch back to awful

To be fair, we only have 2 world title matches locked in. The tag title matches could easily just be done on Raw or Smackdown in favor of other matches. Plus, we surely gotta have something of a non title match added in there somewhere, especially with McIntyre or Knight.

In other events, Broken Matt Hardy returned to TNA last night in their ppv's main event

Welp, that was quick. Indus Sher released from WWE today.

CBS greenlighted a prequel for a young Jethro Gibbs called NCIS: Origins.

Unfortunately, none of them. NCIS Origins, a Matlock reboot with Kathy Bates, and Young Sheldon's brother is getting his own show

Just in time for CBS to bring us an NCIS prequel, a Matlock reboot, and a second Big Bang Theory spinoff.

I wish I was making all that up.

Backlash so far...
Cody vs Styles for the Undisputed WWE Universal title
Priest vs Jey for the WHC

May possibly get added soon
Awesome Truth vs DIY for the World Tag titles
A Town Down Under vs Street Profits for the WWE Tag titles
Zayn vs Gable for the IC title
Bayley vs Stratton for the Women's title
Belair/Cargill vs Damage Control for the Women's tag titles

I know Cody wants to bring back the Winged Eagle. However, considering the new WWE Championship is less than a year old, this seems unlikely.

WWE has this habit of making their logo's the dead center of attention on belts. Even the new WHC looks off because of the logo.

I'm convinced that if WWE kept WCW has a side project after Invasion, they would've made a big gold belt with "WCW" slapped directly in the center of it.

Just announced today:

- Xia Li released from WWE
- Jinder Mahal quits, states he'll be a free agent in 90 days

Jinder's final match in WWE was for a world title. Also, without their manager/leader, Indus Sher is doomed.

They're already one of the best looking belts in the company.
