tbf I never really saw that much of Owen Hart, apart from the piledriver and austin and a couple of tag team matches with Jeff Jarret.

I've heard some good things about Jeff Hardy's recent stuff, but Owen was one of the most natural gifted wrestlers I ever saw. He blew his knee out sometime in '94 and he was never the same after that, but in his younger days (Canada, Japan, Mexico, the US) he was awesome. His feud with Bret pretty much got me back into wrestling & the stuff in '97 with Austin, Bret Hart's heel turn, the Hart Foundation reunion & the Canada vs. USA angle was the peak of 90s WWF. He was hilarious too. Check out his Slammy Awards stuff on youtube.

Undertaker was a pretty decent worker for a big man who didn't need to be a decent worker to get over. That was from '97 or so onwards... Before then he was very much a gimmick wrestler in some of the worst Wrestlecrap feuds ever.

Ultimate Warrior only had good matches against Ric Rude. That was a hell of a carry job by Rude. I've heard Cena really busts his ass these days trying to put on strong mainevents.

Foley is overrated, but he was an awesome promo and at his best he could lay out a really great match like the one against Sting or the Shawn Michaels title defence. Bumped way too hard for his own good, though. Crazy amount of damage to his health.

Owen is absolutely awesome and probably tied with Eddie Guerrero for the worst loss too soon that i've experienced in wrestling. Love Jeff Hardy, but just can't take him over Owen, yet. Few more years at his current rate of growth and who knows.

Taker is a legend, one of those wrestlers that don't come along very often that can keep an audience fully spellbound just by being there. Has an aura around him that just makes matches special.

Used to love the ultimate warrior when I was little 'cause I liked his theme song, but gotta give some props to Cena who I feel is treated unfairly by a lot of people. Did prefere him a lot more when he was the ghetto rapping heel, though.

Foley is one of my all time favourite wresters, put on some of the best and most memorable matches ever, let alone in my time watching wrestling. Is a great talker and makes people look good when they go at it with him. His books are awesome, too. Sad for Booker, though, who I feel is underrated by a few people and is definitely one of the best in and out of the ring I've seen since becoming a fan. His skits with Goldust were gold, some of the funniest stuff WWE has ever put out, and his fued with Austin. I loved King Booker, too, thought he was hilarious. Miss him in the WWE, tbh.

rubble doesnt have the most regular internet access so give it a while, he'll be back on when he gets the chance.

Yeah, what he said. With any luck the next round should be posted after 6pm French time tonight, meaning in about 7 hours.
My bad. Next round starting now! Just need to find the necessary info and images.

EDIT: Haha, oops, turns out I don't have the list of battles with me. Will do it after lunch once I've been home and found the list.

International Coach
Okay, erm, there's no easy way to say this, but I forgot the list again. :laugh:

Sorry guys, thanks for being patient, I have a lot of time on my hands these days but unfortunately I can't spent it online as I've got no net access at home. Therefore the only time I can update these battles is when I'm at school in between lessons. Will endeavour to get it done tomorrow - might even do the next eight battles if that's okay with people, just to catch us up a little.

Right, here we go! Results are finally in from that round.

Jeff Hardy pulls off a surprise 9-7 victory against the late, great, Owen Hart; The Undertaker pulls off a totally unsurprising trouncing of Rhyno (same would have happened to AJ Styles, TBH). Cena upsets many people by getting through 9-7, and Booker T gets rather unfairly hammered by the legendary Foley.

Next four battles are on their way - get your votes in quickly, 'cause I'm gonna try and move fast from here on in. :)
