World Cup of Wrestling

Unright	Posted on 07/01/08 at 23:21:51 Fellow TNMers, I present to you... The World Cup of Wrestling! Basically, it's another tournament style project, but this time the scope is a bit bigger than the NCAA tournament I did a while back. This time it's the ultimate tournament. A copy not only of the World Cup tournament, but the massive qualification tournaments leading up to it. First, I choose the six "grounds" of competitors that are trying to compete. The UEFA (Europe) has the lion's share of entrants with 13 out of a possible 53 going on to qualify for the World Cup. Since this is the major powerhouse group of the world, they will be represented by the WWE. CONCACAF (North, Central America, and the Caribbean) gets 3 or 4 entrants out of 35. This will be TNA's group. AFC (Asia) has 4 or 5 out of 43. These will be fought over by Japanese wrestlers. Similarily, CAF (Africa) will be represented by Mexican wrestlers. They can earn 6 spots out of 53. (The Automatic Host Qualification rule will be disregarded as there is no "host") OFC (Oceania) gets either 0 or 1 out of 10. This will be the Ring of Honor contingent. CONMEBOL (South America) was an interesting group. A large percentage gets to qualify 4 or 5 out of 10, so I created a "Legends of Wrestling" category. To simulate a soccer (futbol) match, I decided to make all the contests 25 minute Iron Man matches. This will help cut down on fluke victories. Also, since the Home/Away goal rules are impractical in this format, I'm disregarding them with fall differential being the main tie-breaker. I'll try to keep an eye open for problems with deadlock ties and grant overtime periods as necessary. In the Qualifying rounds, the DQ rule is very relaxed, with blatant ref attacks and illegal holds the only way you can get DQed. This will get stricter later. Match-ups and seeding that depends on a ranking will be done according to Push ratings (with Work, Stamina, & Charisma acting as tie-breakers in that order). In the unlikely event that two wrestlers have the exact same stats, than a private match was held to determine who ranked above the other. Thanks to Oliver Copp for making the necessary program and to King of Old School for providing nearly all of the exports.
Unright	Posted on 07/01/08 at 23:48:05 Ring of Honor (Oceania - OFC) is the weakest federation in the World Cup of Wrestling. They aren't even guaranteed a shot, only the potential for a shot at entering the World Cup as their top champion faces off against the fifth place team of the Japanese federation (Asia - AFC). They determine their champion through 2 round robin tournaments. The current champion (Nigel McGuinness) gets a bye to the second round. The first round features 10 wrestlers competing for 3 advancement slots. They are randomly placed in two groups of 5 and each wrestlers fights the others in his group once. Then a 4-man tournament is held to determine the overall order and therefore who else advances to the second round. Group A is: Austin Aries Bryan Danielson Claudio Castagnoli Go Shiozaki Jay Briscoe Group B is: Jimmy Jacobs Kevin Steen Mark Briscoe Roderick Strong Tyler Black Aug 25, 2008 Bryan Danielson beat Austin Aries 3 falls to 1 BD Sub (Cattle Mutilation) @11:43 BD Sub (Cattle Mutilation) @16:37 BD Pin (fisherman suplex) @20:21 AA CO @24:34 Ref: The TNM Members Champ Jay Briscoe beat Go Shiozaki 3 falls to 0 JB Pin (tiger driver) @15:00 JB Pin (J-Driller) @17:47 JB Pin (J-Driller) @21:24 Ref: Zedja Roderick Strong drew Mark Briscoe RS Pin (CX '03) @10:56 RS Pin (CX '03) @14:36 MB Pin (Cut-Throat Driver) @19:09 MB Pin (Cut-Throat Driver) @22:48 Ref: Critic of the Dawn Tyler Black beat Kevin Steen 3 falls to 2 TB Pin (inverted DDT) @1:37 TB Pin (inverted DDT) @6:51 KS Pin (Package Piledriver) @15:09 KS Pin (enzuigiri) @21:15 TB Pin (God's Last Gift) @23:56 Ref: Snabbit888 [table] [tr][td]Wrestler[/td] [td]Pts[/td] [td]M[/td] [td]W[/td] [td]D[/td] [td]L[/td] [td]FF[/td] [td]FA[/td] [td]FD[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Jay Briscoe[/td] [td]3[/td] [td]1[/td] [td]1[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]3[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]3[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Bryan Danielson[/td] [td]3[/td] [td]1[/td] [td]1[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]3[/td] [td]1[/td] [td]2[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Claudio Castagnoli[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]0[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Austin Aries[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]1[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]1[/td] [td]1[/td] [td]3[/td] [td]-2[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Go Shiozaki[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]1[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]1[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]3[/td] [td]-3[/td] [/tr] [/table] [table] [tr][td]Wrestler[/td] [td]Pts[/td] [td]M[/td] [td]W[/td] [td]D[/td] [td]L[/td] [td]FF[/td] [td]FA[/td] [td]FD[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Tyler Black[/td] [td]3[/td] [td]1[/td] [td]1[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]3[/td] [td]2[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Mark Briscoe[/td] [td]1[/td] [td]1[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]1[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]2[/td] [td]2[/td] [td]0[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Roderick Strong[/td] [td]1[/td] [td]1[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]1[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]2[/td] [td]2[/td] [td]0[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Jimmy Jacobs[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]0[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Kevin Steen[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]1[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]1[/td] [td]2[/td] [td]3[/td] [td]-1[/td] [/tr] [/table]

And the only way to make the situation more intense is to have a high-profile draw among the current leaders of each group. One or both of these groups may be decided by fall differential. In Group A, Bryan Danielson and Jay Briscoe are leading the pack, thanks to Danielson's come from behind rally to even out their match at 3 falls apiece. Claudio Castagnoli won his first match and could take the group with some strong performances. In Group B, there is a similar story. Both Mark Briscoe and Roderick Strong won their second matches and Strong has only a 1 fall lead. Tyler Black's loss to Strong puts him in third place, and in a weaker position than Castagnoli in Group A.

Kevin Steen's victory over Strong was a huge surprise and he may have possibly snookered him out of the competition. Tyler Black and Mark Briscoe have yet to face each other and the result of their match wil likely determine the top two seedings. Kevin Steen is now a darkhorse candidate, while Jimmy Jacobs is a very long shot. In Group A, it continues to be the Jay Briscoe and Bryan Danielson show as they both pick up wins. Jay Briscoe futhers his lead as he continues to get 2 pinfall victories to Danielson's 1. Danielson needs a big blowout to push him into first place. Meanwhile, Austin Aries and Go Shiozaki have been mathematically eliminated. Even if either of them wins their next two games, they will still fall short of 2nd place.

With Claudio Castagnoli's loss, he is pretty much out of the competition. Jay Briscoe and Bryan Danielson have secured their advancement to the play-off round. Danielson's final match is against Go Shiozaki and he needs to beat him by over 7 falls to take first place from Briscoe. Meanwhile in Group B, it's a much closer race. Jimmy Jacobs is the only one officially eliminated. If both Tyler Black and Kevin Steen win their matches against Mark Briscoe and Jacobs respectively, they will both leapfrog past Roderick Strong and take the division. If only one wins and the other gets a tie, than the one with the tie is eliminated. Finally, if they both lose, than Briscoe has a chance to advance. Anything could happen.

His methodical style doesn't usually lend itself to blowout victory. Instead he is happy taking second place and advancing. In Group B, the outrageous happened. Both Kevin Steen and Tyler Black lost their matches. This means that Mark Briscoe managed to overcome his loss to Steen and advance to the play-off round. His match against Tyler Black was a classic as he delivered several Cut-Throat Drivers with strong passion to win. With the Round Robin over, the play-off round will begin. The winner of Group A will face the runner-up of Group B and vice-versa. Then there will be a gold medal match (for future ranking purposes) and a bronze medal match in which the loser will be eliminated. The Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal winners go on to the next round and enter a round robin along with Nigel McGuinness. This means that Danielson will face Roderick Strong, while brother means brother as Jay Briscoe faces Mark Briscoe.

Unright	Posted on 07/04/08 at 03:45:24 Oct 8, 2007 Japan's (Asia - AFC) qualification process is a bit more streamlined than Ring of Honor's. Since they have 43 wrestlers trying to qualify, round robin tournaments would get a little ridiculous. So they divide everyone into 3 groups. First there is the Top Seeds which consists of those ranked 1-5. They get a bye straight through to the third round. This groups consists of (Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Jun Akiyama, Masahiro Chono, Kenta Kobashi, & Yuji Nagata) The rest are seperated into two Pots. Pot A consists of those ranked 6th-24th. Pot B are those ranked 25th-43th. For the first round, wrestlers from Pot A are randomly paired against wrestlers in Pot B and they fight two matches with the aggregate pinfall count determining who advances.

Satoshi Kojima nods. Snabbit888 asks Satoshi Kojima if he's still there. Satoshi Kojima nods. Snabbit888 checks Satoshi Kojima's arm. He lifts it... it falls. He lifts it... it falls.

On the other side of the Pacific, Jushin Liger racked up the pinfalls against Shingo Takagi to the joy of his screaming fans. Shinsuke Nakamura wrestled a surpringly good somewhat technical match against Jado. @Jake: Sorry, I accidentally left you out of the initial ref rotation.

This means that Kojima is officially eliminated. Inoue advances. in the other World Cup qualifying match, Naomichi Marufuji and "brother" YASSHI drew each other at two falls apiece. And I've got to say that "Flying Big Head" is one of the coolest move names I've ever seen.

Meanwhile the other Rayo Tapaito stuns everyone by proving his first victory wasn't a fluke as he wins the second match over Alan Stone by an even larger margin. Stone is eliminated and Rayo Tapaito I advances to the second round.

Defending champ Nigel McGuinness used his Union Jack iron to stun Bryan Danielson behind the ref's back in order to take the victory at the 20 minute mark. There have already been some international protest to Snabbit888's referee skills. He has been placed on prohibition as more refs will be added to the rotating roster in the upcoming weeks. The first round of the Mexican qualifyers in over as five wrestlers have been eliminated. Rayo Tapaito II gets shut-out again by El Terrible and Hector Garza also goes home after a very disapointing peformance. Both Averno and Loco Max had lost their respective first match-up, but both managed to win their second match with enough falls to win on aggregate point totals and advance. The next round of Mexican qualifyers will begin May 31, 2008. The second round of matches in the Legends of Wrestling conference ends with two clear leaders emerging. The Rock won a high-scoring affair against Eddie Guerrero while Steve Austin gets a solid victory over Ted Dibiase. Hulk Hogan trails them in third place after a last minute pinfall against Dusty Rhodes gives him three points for the win.

Apparently he took out his frustrations on poor NOSAWA Rongai. Old school WWE fans may be disapointed that Giant "A-Train" Bernard failed to score a single pinfall against Koji Kanemoto. Kensuke Sasaki and Katsuhiko Nakajima score the lowest pinfall total match so far at 1-0, which makes me ponder if 25 minutes might have been too generous... Other matches see CIMA soundly defeat Taiyo Kea 4-1 and Minoru Suzuki winning a close match against Hirooki Goto 3-2.

Tatsuhito Takaiwa, Keiji Muto, Gedo, CIMA, and Kensuke Sasaki deliver strong performances that will hopefully preview what is to come in the upcoming rounds. TAKA Michinoku redeemed himself by posting a strong 4-0 win over Milano Collection A.T., allowing him to advance on the aggregate score. The KENTA v. Ryusuke Taguchi match went into extra time as the score at the end of the regulation period had their aggregate score tied at 3 apiece. Using his descretion, referee TNM Members Champ added 10 minutes of overtime. KENTA delivered under pressure by scoring 3 pinfalls to advance.

Bison Smith upsets Manabu Nakanishi after Nakanishi puts forth a very poor effort against the gaijin. For the second round, the lowest ranked 8 teams are matched up against each other randomly and the wrestler with the highest aggregate pinfalls advances to the third round. The lowest 8 wrestlers were determined by their push then by their aggregate score in the first round. The match-ups will be: Jushin Liger v. Naruki Doi TAKA Michinoku v. Naomichi Marufuji Jinsei Shinzaki v. Bison Smith Minoru Suzuki v. Wataru Inoue

TAKA must regret having tapped out of that side headlock. Meanwhile Wataru Inoue was up by three falls before giving two away and having to fight extremely defensively to stop Minoru Suzuki from tieing their match. Jinsei Shinzaki, on the other hand, had no problem defeating Bison Smith.

Nigel McGuinness got a couple of early pins, but Jay Briscoe just blew right by him and takes an early lead in the round robin. Mark Briscoe didn't fare as well as his brother as Bryan Danielson meticulously took him apart with many submission holds. In the Legends conference, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and The Rock both take strong leads. The Rock barely defeated Andre the Giant after a last-minute facerake helped disorient the big man enough for the Rock to get the win. Meanwhile Austin soundly trounced Hulk Hogan even after Hogan started resorting to dirty tactics. Ricky Steamboat and Eddie Guerrero had an excellent high-flying technical match which featured the first double pinfall of the tournament. Guerrero won and propelled himself into third place.

Jushin Liger scored a 5-2 domineering victory over Naruki Doi and advances to the next round. Naomichi Marufuji squeeked by TAKA Michinoku again, eliminating TAKA to the surprise of many wrestling columnists. Jinsei Shinzaki tied Bison Smith and is able to advance on the aggregate score. Wataru Inoue also advances after wrestling a brilliant defensive strategy against Minoru Suzuki. In the Legends group, Ted Dibiase totally shut down Ric Flair and got his first win of the tournament. While Dusty Rhodes cost himself his match against Bret Hart by getting a foolhardy disqualification after arguing with the referee. Rhodes currently has the worst record at 0-3.

Nigel McGuinness and Bryan Danielson are both vying for top spot and at this rate, it might go down to the wire. In the Legends group, Ric Flair manages to keep Steve Austin to a low-scoring draw. Does that mean there's a chink in Austin's armor? Bret Hart keeps himself in the top of the division with a 1 pinfall win over Hulk Hogan while Dusty Rhodes' Bionic Elbow staves off another loss.
Unright	Posted on 07/20/08 at 06:02:14 It's time for the TNA qualifying process to start. 35 hopefuls are divided into 6 different Pots according to their Push. Pot A: A.J. Styles, Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe Pot B: Booker T, Christian Cage, Rhino Pot C: Jay Lethal, Kevin Nash, Kip James, Scott Steiner, Sting, Tomko Pot D: Alex Shelley Pot E: B.G. James, Brother Devon, Brother Ray, Chris Sabin, Curry Man, Eric Young, James Storm, Lance Hoyt, Matt Morgan, Rellik, Robert Roode Pot F: Consequences Creed, Elix Skipper, Hernandez, Homicide, Jimmy Rave, Johnny Devine, Kaz, Petey Williams, Shark Boy, Sonjay Dutt Then the wrestlers from each pot are equally drawn into three groups. Pots E & F face off against each other first, then they face off against Pots A, B, C, & D to see who advances to the round robin. Confused? Yeah, sorry about that. This might clear it up, here is each group according to the drawings and placements. Group 1 Winner of Samoa Joe v. (Winner of Eric Young v. Elix Skipper) Winner of Tomko v. (Winner of Brother Devon v. Jimmy Rave) Winner of Booker T v. (Winner of Lance Hoyt v. Shark Boy) Winner of Kip James v. (Winner of Chris Sabin v. Consequences Creed) Group 2 Winner of Kurt Angle v. (Winner of B.G. James v. Homicide) Winner of Sting v. (Winner of Robert Roode v. Kaz) Winner of Rhino v. (Winner of Brother Ray v. Johnny Devine) Winner of Kevin Nash v. Alex Shelley Group 3 Winner of A.J. Styles v. (Winner of James Storm v. Petey Williams) Winner of Jay Lethal v. (Winner of Curry Man v. Black Reign) Winner of Christian Cage v. (Winner of Matt Morgan v. Sonjay Dutt) Winner of Scott Steiner v. (Winner of Rellik v. Hernandez) Each pairings will have two matches and the winner of the aggregate score advances. Also, keep in mind that this stuff was originally set up a while back. So if anybody looks out of place by today's standards (such as Elix Skipper who was released), just accept it without question. This also goes for the WWE which starts later on.

Super Eric starts off the action with a very strong performance against Elix Skipper. Brother Devon gets a pin at the last minute to squeak by Jimmy Rave. Shark Boy surprises many as his 'Stone Cold' attitude totally dominated the much bigger Lance Hoyt. Hoyt promised he would do better in the return match. Another surprise was Consequences Creed shutting down Chris Sabin of the Motor City Machine Guns.

The most talked about match was Hiroyoshi Tenzan losing to Wataru Inoue 3 falls to none. Inoue has been impressively defeating every opponent that's stood in his path. In Group 4, CIMA destroyed Jushin Liger by a score of 7 to 1. Toshiaki Kawada & Koji Kanemoto also scored shut-outs. In the TNA conference, both James Storm and Curry Man got big victories to help pump up their aggregate score. Jim Cornette was reportedly upset that Matt Morgan only scored a draw against Sunjay Dutt, he feels that Morgan didn't take advantage of his size.

Thanks, although the actual World Cup doesn't start until 2010, so there's a bit of waiting involved.

B.G. James only needed an extra minute to score an additional pinfall to put him ahead, sending Homicide home. While Johnny Devine took advantage of the ten extra minutes to score two more pinfalls than Brother Ray to finally break up their ties. James Storm eliminates Petey Williams by a large margin, while Curry Man does the same to Dustin Rhodes (aka Black Reign). Brother Devon did better than his partner as he eliminates Jimmy Rave. Consequences Creed surprises everyone by not only winning again, but by having denied Chris Sabin a single pinfall. Kaz upsets Robert Roode. Shark Boy loses the second match-up, but he advances over Lance Hoyt thanks to the aggregation rule. Matt Morgan got serious and totally dominated Sonjay Dutt with powerbombs and other power moves to advance.

Elix Skipper returns strong against Eric Young and manages to get a shut-out of his own, but Young scored more pinfalls overall and therefore gets to advance to the dubious honor of facing off against Samoa Joe. LAX's Hernandez goes ballistic on Rellik (which is "killer" spelled backwards, BTW) and hits him with the Border Toss over and over to win. He might have a tougher time adopting this strategy in the next round against Scott Steiner.
Unright	Posted on 07/27/08 at 06:17:14 The second round of the Mexican qualification process starts today with 48 wrestlers left. The next step is to divide the group into four pots of 12 wrestlers each, then create 12 groups out of one randomly drawn wrestler from each pot. Those groups will play a full round robin and the 12 group winners and 8 best runners-up will advance. Pot A: El Felino, Lizmark Jr., Cibernetico, Lizmark, Heavy Metal, Octagon, Juventud Guerrera, L.A.

Koji Kanemoto is definately one of those leaders as he recrds his third straight shut-out. CIMA, Jun Akiyama and Toshiaki Kawada also pull away into unopposed first place with their wins today. Yuji Nagata only got one point after Keiji Muto shows some life for the first time this round and manages a draw.

In Group 1, Hiroyoshi Tenzan's loss to Tasuhito Takaiwa means that there is no way that he can rally to gain enough points to make the next round. Since Takaiwa and Wataru Inoue drew and Inoue just defeated leader Koji Kanemoto in a spectacular match, Group 1 was become very close for the remaining three participants. In Group 2, Gedo's bumbling loss to Masato Tanaka means that he is out of the competition. Naomichi Marufuji is close to the chopping block as well as Jun Akiyama is the first to qualify to advance. In Group 3, Tiger Mask IV tries his best, but gets narrowly beaten and is also eliminated. Kenta Kobashi surprises everyone by successfully avoiding Toshiaki Kawada's Dangerous Kick and effectively neutralizing him. In Group 4, CIMA destroys Kensuke Sasaki which acheives the dual result of allowing CIMA to advance and knocking Sasaki out of the running. Jushin Liger and Masato Tanaka tie each other which works out strongly in Tanaka's favor as Liger must win his next two matches. In Group 5, Shinsuke Nakamura defeats KENTA again, placing him in first place. The Yuji Nagata-Keiji Muto match will be fought tomorrow, if Nagata wins as expected then it will knock Muto out of the competition.

He only suffered two pinfalls (Edge and Trevor Murdoch managed to pin him once apiece). Trevor Murdoch was the one who managed to keep him to a 1-1 draw to ruin his perfect sweep. Stevie Richards did better than could reasonably be expected. Carlito, Chuck Palumbo, and Murdoch are ranked by Fall Differential (FD) first, then lowest amount of falls against (FA).

He only pinfalls against were caused by Mr. Kennedy, Kofi Kingston, and Cody Rhodes. Kennedy is the one that turned in one of the most disapointing efforts in the WWE.

In quickly became obvious that whomever won the matches between The Undertaker and The Great Khali would win the group. Khali handed Undertaker his 2 pinfalls, but Undertaker got a win and a tie over Khali to win the group. Paul London distinguished himself as the best cruiserweight in the group. For those interested, Colin Delaney sole win was a 1-0 contest over Jesse in his last match.

JBL should have carried it, instead he lost his last 4 matches. Including a loss to Tommy Dreamer who scored many upsets. Finlay turns in a very, very poor performance and Mark Henry surprises everyone by coming out on top and getting a ticket to go to the World Cup.

In the last match, he faced Elijah Burke for what was control of the group, but Burke trounced him 5-1. So Elijh freakin' Burke is the winner of this group and he doesn't even wrestle for the WWE anymore. Also, what a piss-poor performance by Chavo Guerrero. Not only did he lose to Nunzio but he finished much below him.

Curt Hawkins delivers a very piss-poor showing. The winners of the 9 groups (The Big Show, Triple H, John Cena, The Undertaker, Mark Henry, Batista, Elijah Burke, Randy Orton, & Shawn Michaels) qualify for the World Cup. The second place wrestlers from each group are compared against each other. Because Group 9 only wrestled 8 matches, the matches against the lowest ranking wrestler are discounted from the totals of each second-placing wrestler. (For example: In Group 1 Edge's matches against Trevor Murdoch are not counted.)

Unright	Posted on 12/07/09 at 15:58:29 TNA Seedings (Again, keep in mind, these seedings are based on late 2007)): Pot A: Samoa Joe, A.J. Styles, Kurt Angle Pot B: Rhino, Christian Cage, Booker T Pot C: Kevin Nash, Kip James, Scott Steiner, Jay Lethal, Tomko, Sting Pot D: Alex Shelley Pot E: Brother Devon, Curry Man, Matt Morgan, Eric Young, B.G. James, James Storm, Chris Sabin, Brother Ray, Rellik, Lance Hoyt, Robert Roode Pot F: Kaz, Hernandez, Shark Boy, Consequences Creed, Johnny Devine, Black Reign, Homicide, Elix Skipper, Jimmy Rave, Petey Williams, Sonjay Dutt Okay.. So Pot E & Pot F face each other in a 2 match fall aggregate contest. Pot D gets a bye. Then the winners face off against Pots A, B, & C.

Now I know why TNA is so screwed up. This round played out like Russo booked it full of swerves and pent-up pissy petty revenge against main eventers he doesn't like. Tomko is out. Booker T loses to frigging Shark Boy! Kaz eliminates Sting! Scott Steiner, Christian Cage, & "Black Machismo" Jay Lethal all eliminated (though I'm comforted by the fact that a masked Christopher Daniels is doing awesome). A.J. Styles only barely manage to eliminate James Storm. The winners of the second round are grouped into a 4 person double round robin with the top two wrestlers advancing to the next round.

A.J. Styles gets trounced and big Matt Morgan is also eliminated. Friggin' Hernandez wins this group. In the fourth round the 6 winners combine into a single double-match robin robin.

Curry Man (Christopher Daniels), Samoa Joe, and Rhino will go on to represent TNA in the World Cup of Wrestling. While Hernandez will face the 5th ranked Legends wrestler in an international play-off. Kaz's fantastic run finally comes to a grueling halt.
