MARCHIFORNICATION ROUND 1: CAPTAIN AMERICA HERKY VS. MATT GATENS LEGACY

SEED #4: MATT GATENS LEGACY

Legacy_medium

What did you do?  Punted Todd Lickliter in the head, thereby ending his career.  Formed a stable with Hawkeye legacy recruits Roy Marble Jr. and Darius Stokes Played wrestlers in Fran McCaffery's office.  Basically ripped off Randy Orton just so we could make an inside joke about Andrew Brommer and The Great Khali.

SEED #5: CAPTAIN AMERICA HERKY

Captain_america_herky_medium

What did you do?  For maybe the first time ever, the athletic department embraced a grassroots meme from the students and the internet and executed it flawlessly.  Captain America Herky was the natural outgrowth of the "Love It or Leave It" motto from Stanzi's Orange Bowl postgame speech, brought to the field for Hallow...

crazy

In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).

Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.

Ca-caw?

No, my Herky makes a screeching sound as he swoops down to kill the gophers.

Going, going, going, going, going, going, going, going.... Alright, I'll stop for now.

The toughest vote yet

But that is to be expected with a 4-5 match up. Ameri-Herky wins.

So why did Eric May want to stop by?

While I love Captain Herky

You do realize he’s up against AIRBHG next, right? Did you see what AIRBHG did to DRUGS/Rhabdo?

Please note that the internet does not, as of yet, have a sarcasm font.

Stanzi's got his own battle to fight, though.

And with that

NOW Marchifornication has officially begun. Can’t have Marchifornication without some shenanigans with the voting.

I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.

I thought the shenanigans started yesterday

Or does the surprise elimination/substitution of Rhabdo for DRUGS not count?

by MTXEMurph on Mar 8, 2011 1:21 PM CST reply actions  

No, they aren't legacies.

And therefore, can’t be Legacies.

I lobbied hard for Matt McDonough to get involved since he's a legacy guy.

Booooo... Earl Hebner... Boooooooooo!

It shoulda been Little Natch.

Naich on your finer pro wrestling websites, for what that is worth.

Hey, Earl did his job, leave him alone.

In high school we used to call alcohol (more specifically beers, but it wasn't exclusive) "shirts" when in front of parental units.

As in (actual conversation)
Friend: “I’ve got some shirts in my trunk. I hope the heat doesn’t get to em.”
Me: “Oh, I can help you out with those. We can take em to my basement where it’s nice and cool. I’m gonna snag at least one for my trouble though.”

So when I read that it seemed like Heb was offering me beer, and part of my brain got creeped out.

Gaten deserves it

Anybody who models his wrestling career after a coward who disgraced his country by going AWOL twice while in the Marines deserves to get a screwjob by a cosplayer dressed as a hawk dressed as Captain America.

Orton was in the Marines?

I thought that was Cena?
Movies aren’t real?

It was Randi

He was in the USMC. But he was kicked out for going AWOL. Coward.

I thought that guy was a complete pussy before you told me that.

Thanks for confirming it.

Update:

CNN apologizes to spouces of air marshalls. The headline should have read “Man allegedly karate chops air, Marshall” and it was actually an e-mail to Mr. Tucker and his band.

I gotta say

I find the lack of Trololo this year quite unsettling. Either he is biding his time, ready to strike at some unsuspecting Marchifornication participant, or he has truly faded into irrelevance (after all, I forgot he existed until about 5 minutes ago). Either way, it’s hard to imagine that this year’s Marchifornication can go on without some Soviet interference.

Prior to the Screwjob part this made no sense to me

And frankly I am a little ashamed that I understood the Screwjob part.

by NorseHawk on Mar 8, 2011 7:08 PM CST reply actions  

Can you educate me?

Is a Montreal Screwjob some kind of Canadian sex act? Like a Two Handed Zamboni or a Reverse Rick Moranis?

by Kluginator on Mar 9, 2011 10:11 AM CST up reply actions  

Google it.

It specifically references Bret “The Hitman” Hart’s last match in the WWE. It was supposed to be a fond farewell in his native Canada. Instead, it turned into a double-cross perpetrated by Vince McMahon & Sean Michaels in one of the extremely rare instances where a match wasn’t predetermined. There are actually some pretty excellent YouTube videos of it that make for some compelling drama.

Less memorable than Sam Okey's Hawkeye career.

by Kyle McCann't on Mar 9, 2011 11:11 AM CST up reply actions  

I'd say it was still predetermined.

It’s just that not all of the participants were on the same page…
