March Bashness 2021 – Vote on 1st Round now
It’s that special time of year again. We’re back for another round of March Bashness, one of my favorite and overwhelming projects I do every year. Thankfully between Mattel and Wicked Cool Toys cranking out some stellar tag teams over the course of the last year I’ve got plenty of teams in the field.
One big change is a limited amount of classic teams. They tend to dominate the field and I wanted to level it a bit with more contemporary/modern era teams. Besides, I’m fully expecting to knock out some more teams (British Bulldogs? Powers of Pain?) along with the already confirmed Dream Team, Pride & Powerful, SCU and Jurassic Express and it’s always good to have some newcomers step up.
If you’ve never taken part in March Bashness the rules are simple: vote on the team you think will win and I’ll play out the action with the figures each round until a champion is determined. That’s enough hype, let’s meet the teams and matchups for the first round of March Bashness 2021 to see what team will capture the coveted Boynes Trophy:
North Bracket
(1) The Dudley Boyz vs. (8) Chris Jericho/MJF
The legendary and acclaimed brothers face off against the dancing and singing leaders of The Inner Circle.

This battle of Ring of Honor tag team champions from different eras is about more than bragging rights and will determine who reaches the next round of the bracket.

(2) The Hardy Boyz vs. (7) The Broserweights
What Pete Dunne and Matt Riddle lack in experience they make up for with savvy submissions and knockout moves. Will it be enough to stop the high flying Hardy Boyz?

(3) DIY vs. (6) The Hart Dynasty
The Hart’s blend of power and speed prove a unique blend of styles, but DIY has claimed victories against half the field and is a trendy Fatal Four pick.

South Bracket
(1) The Young Bucks vs. (8) CaZXL/nZo
The overall top seed looks to follow in the footsteps of The Hart Foundation and Four Horsemen in running the table. First up is a challenge for the play-in team of the former Cas and Enzo as they continue their improbable comeback.

(4) Kenny Omega/Hangman Adam Page vs. (5) Eddie Guerrero/Rey Mysterio
This is the first-round our panel is most anticipating with the battle tested Elite team facing off against one of the most cunning and dynamic teams in the tournament.

(2) The New Day vs. (7) The Ascension
New Day was not thrilled with not earning a top seed and look to take out their frustration out on the powerhouse NXT duo.
[yop_poll id=”38″]
(3) Miz & Morrison vs. (6) The Hurt Business
While our experts predict this could be an upset, Miz and Morrison have been a decorated team for years and have plenty of tricks in store. Will that be enough to stop a combination of The Almighty Bobby Lashley, MVP and Shelton Benjamin?
