Topic: Slugfest Of Doom 2010 Nominations - NO MORE NOMINATIONS, TOPIC LOCKED!

[Zandrax]

It's that time of year again.

For those that don't know, let me explain the tradition that has become the A1 Wrestling Slugfest Of Doom. It is a grandiose fantasy tournament which pits characters from all genres of entertainment against each other. Nearly anybody imaginable from Darth vader to Wolverine to The Noid from those old pizza commercials is eligible for nomination. Nominations will be open until no later than September 15th. I want to make sure people have enough time to get settled in here, so we're delaying things a bit.

A few rules on nominations

-Unless otherwise ruled, any nomination that is not given specific details will default to the current incarnation of the character, or the most popular in some cases. Examples: Simply nominating "Captain America" will cast a nomination for the former Bucky Barnes. While simply nominating "Green Lantern" would cast a nomination for Hal Jordan.

-You get 20 Nominations, and a nominee must be seconded by another poster in order to qualify. You are free to divvy up your nominations however you see fit, with any mix of nominations and seconds. This is one of the few unbending rules of the event. The only exceptions to this are usually to round out a bracket, and even then are either left to Mod discretion or (more likely) popular vote.

-You may change nominations up until the Slugfest starts, as long as that nomination isn't a seconding, or hasn't been seconded. Example: If you nominated Wolverine, and he was seconded, you cannot change that nomination. Likewise if you seconded somebody's choice of Popeye. However, if you notice nobody's seconding your Frank Poncherello nomination, you can go ahead and drop him and nominate somebody else.

-You cannot second your own nomination

-The only pople not eligible for this are "real life" people or religious figures. Sorry, this means no Hitler vs. Jesus or Osama Bin Laden vs. Archduke Franz Ferdinand. I'm not touching that with an 11 foot pole. There are some exceptions to this though.

• Action Heroes (aka The Chuck Norris Rule): Actors that have a certain cult status can be nominated. Chuck Norris, Vin Diesel, or Mr. T are perfect examples of this.
• Sports and Sports Entertainers (aka The Anderson Silva Rule): Sports players, wrestlers, and MMA fighters are eligible. This is a tournament after all...
• TV Personalities (aka The Larry David Rule): People that play "themselves" on reality style or fictionalized TV shows. Example: Actor Larry David portrays "Larry David" on Curb Your Enthusiasm.
• Posters On This Board (aka The Turbovirgin Rule): If the poster is cool with it, then I have no problem with it.

Once all the nominees are decided, yours truly (with the likely help of a select few) will assemble all combatants into appropriate brackets based on power levels. This helps keep fights somewhat fair so we don't have unfair first round matchups such as Darkseid vs. J Jonah Jameson. All battles are songle elimination, and are decided by popular vote. Once all the Bracket champions are decided, we head to the Playoffs where we contionue with single elimination until there is one ultimate winner. That winner is declared the 2010 Slugfest Of Doom Champion.

Automatically entered are all Slugfest Champions and runners up from previous tournaments. No need to nominate or second them.

Most importantly HAVE FUN! If you have any ideas on how to make this a better event, feel free to post them here. I of course have final say because I crave power and control.

Kaya seconded Deathlok and EEGAH seconded Martian Manhunter (aka J'onn J'onzz)

Sorry, missed that.  I have one more.  Who wants it?  I will not second FARTMAN though as I have (low) standards.  I have two more actually as Predator was already seconded as well.

[FreebirdSTF]

I have two picks left.  Who wants them?  Make a case for your character and I will consider it.  I know I said I had none, but Martian Manhunter and Predator were already in when I seconded them.

Actually I think I only have one more.  Was Vomikron nominating or seconding Predator?  If he was nominating then I want to second him.

Second Cthulhu. Because a tentacled, unholy sea-creature evil Elder God should, nay, MUST be in this tournament! Plus, it'll get under DrGood's skin when it beats Living Tribunal or some other overpowered comic character that he champions to win this thing every year, because you see, the SoD is serious business. Err, srs bsnss.

[freud mayweather]

I thought we weren't allowed to nominate religious figures.

[Kayafaber]

Is Adam Richman nominated or even seconded?
How about Norm The Conqueror, or the dude from Bizzarre Foods?

NOW you're joking.

[PhantomZ]

To pick up from the last one, I'd still like to nom James Cameron since he did play himself in a few eps of Entourage.  Is that enough?   He's a raging asshole and a mean cagefighter at that.


Noms:

Master Chief
Andrew "Ender" Wiggin (from Ender's Game)
Jean Claude Van Damme
Apollo Creed (Rocky)
Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid)
Muhammad Ali
Mike Tyson (what's a Slugfest without Iron Mike?)
Joan Harris (Christina Hendricks' character from Mad Men) just cause I think she should be involved in everything:




And if James Cameron is still not accepted than my final nom goes to:

Man-Bear-Pig (from South Park)

[A Very Smug Bear]

I know she usually looks good, but that is a very unfortunate picture of her face.

What? She has a face in that picture?
