Breakdown – Enforcers – 121 votes (76%) def. The Dudley Boyz – 38 votes (24%) This was the biggest shocker for me. I could see how the Enforcers could win, but I didn’t expect such a big margin. I now think I’ve come up with a plausible way for them to win the entire tournament…or at least make the Fatal Four.

Breakdown – The LOD – 104 votes (66%) def. The Rock n Sock Connection – 54 votes (34%). I didn’t expect Rock and Mankind to pull off the upset against one of the tournament favorites and voters didn’t buy their chances either in one of the more lopsided second round matches.
