Hello, old friend

Now begins the battle to get to the Final Four. Here are the regional semifinal results for the Maple Leaf Garden and Cow Palace regions first:

MLG #4 Dolph Ziggler d. #1 Eddie Kingston, 61-29
MLG #2 Sara del Rey d. #6 Cody Rhodes, 51-38
Cow Palace #4 Kevin Steen d. #8 Mike Quackenbush, 52-36
Cow Palace #3 Kurt Angle d. #2 El Generico, 67-57

A note on those results. I see that the Kurt Angle/El Generico match has about 40 more votes than any of the other three matches, which means someone had a little too much time on his or her hands to try and sway the results in an attempt at trolling me. That's fine. IF it happens again in the regional finals, then you bet your sweet ass Kurt Angle is losing, no matter what the results of the poll say. Now that that's out of the way...

In the Madison Square Garden final, #1 overall seed and STILL WWE Champion CM Punk (d. Jon Davis, Chuck Taylor and Sheamus) will go up against his most recent mortal rival #3 seed John Cena (d. Alex Shelley, The Miz and Samoa Joe). Any time these two get into the ring, an instant classic happens. I expect nothing less for a spot in the Final Four.

The Omni final will pit #1 seed Daniel Bryan (d. Kory Chavis, Jay Briscoe and Cheerleader Melissa) against the #2 seed Mark Henry (d. Robbie E, Jay Lethal and Johnny Gargano). These two are another set of recent rivals. Can Bryan soothe the loss of his World Championship at Mania with a win over Mark Henry, or will the World's Strongest Man re-induct Bryan into the Hall of Pain?

IN Maple Leaf Gardens, it's a battle of the sexes as #4 seed Dolph Ziggler (d. Santino Marella, Colt Cabana and Eddie Kingston) will take on the Queen of Wrestling, #2 seed Sara del Rey (d. Michael Elgin, Austin Aries and Cody Rhodes). Ziggler knocked off one Chikara megastar to get here, but del Rey is a warrior of a different nature. Will she be able to knock off the Ziggler machine and become not only the first woman into the Final Four ever, but the first non-WWE wrestler?

Finally, at the Cow Palace, #4 seed Kevin Steen (d. MASADA, The Big Show and Mike Quackenbush) will take on the controversial #3 seed Kurt Angle (d. Hallowicked, Green Ant and El Generico). Angle's win over Generico might have been a bit fishy, but he's here. So is Mr. Wrestling, whose swath of violence has extended from PWG, C4 and ROH to March Mayhem. Can Angle even rely on vote fixing to save him here (the answer is no)?
