It was not enough for me to simply dust off the under utilized wrestlers in an attempt to inject some much needed variety in the Tag Team Invitational PPV when playing 80s Mania Wrestling Returns. This time around I decided to force myself to use the worst wrestlers I had. To make it more appealing, I would offset these poorly rated openers with a Main Eventer that would match well with each.
The first part of this was to get the lowest Draw wrestlers:
Brit Buckingham
Lifeguard Chip
Mark Bugg
Tonto Loco
Cesar Sleaze
DangerZone
Yuppie VP
Curt Grunge
The next step was to match them with a high Draw wrestler that "made sense". Here are the teams following their draft.
Brit Buckingham-King V*
Lifeguard Chip-Dude Brohan
Slugger Johnson-Vin Voltage
Tonto Loco-Chicano
Cesar Sleaze-Hammerhead
DangerZone-Hairy
Yuppie VP-Pierre The Enormous
Curt Grunge-Lazer ALT
Mark Bugg-Buzzsaw ALT**
*King V won the World title, making him ineligible by my arbitrary rules. Their team name would have been Royal Pain. Brit did not match up with anyone else, so I went with Hotshot/Ezekiel as a substitute team
**Mark Bugg/Buzzsaw did not make the cut, but would have been named BuggSaw
Finally the best part of the process was to come up with a team name for each:
Hotshot/Ezekiel Snipers
Lifeguard Chip/Dude Brohan Beach Bros
Slugger Johnson-Vin Voltage Power Hitters
Tonto Loco/Chicano Los Guapos
Cesar Sleaze/Hammerhead Head Bangers
DangerZone/Hairy* Flyboys
Yuppie VP/Pierre The Enormous Stock Market Crash**
Curt Grunge/Lazer ALT Mosh Pit
*Originally was going to be Chance Solar, but he was injured the previous week.
**Could have been named Bull Market, Bear Market, Death and Taxes. A lot of options.
Finally the Tag Team Invitational Tournament:
Round1:
Flyboys defeat Stock Market Crash
Los Guapos defeat Power Hitters
Head Bangers defeat Beach Bros
Mosh Pit defeat Snipers
Round2:
Flyboys defeat Los Guapos
Mosh Pit defeat Head Bangers
Final:
Flyboys* defeat Mosh Pit
*DangerZone/Hairy had the lowest average Draw rating of the teams, but won the tournament
