80s Villain Tourney: Regional Finals


(1) Johnny Lawrence vs (3) Fratelli Gang


Johnny Lawrence continues his March to the Final Four. The Fratelli Gang has squeaked through and pulled off some major upsets to get here.
No mercy?


(1) Boss Hogg vs (2) Hans Gruber


I had to go to bat for Boss Hogg to get him into the Elite 8 with this diatribe about his worth as a major villain and a 1 seed. Hans Gruber, on the other hand, has had little trouble moving through his half of the bracket to reach this Regional Final. We'll see if this showdown ends better for him than Die Hard did.


(2) Biff Tannen vs (4) Predator


The Predator is our first competitor to take down a 1 seed, ousting Iceman. But, did he just leave the door wide open for a Biff Tannen title run? Biff has been a juggernaut in this tournament and his margins of victory are eye-opening. Can it continue against an iconic alien murderer?


(1) Darth Vader vs (2) Ivan Drago


Darth Vader vs Ivan Drago: it's a battle I'd love to see. Maybe just ban choking people with the force. It would appear Darth Vader's dismal appearance in the prequels of the 00's hasn't hurt the perception of him from The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
Drago now finds himself in the unfamiliar role of underdog. Maybe he can use it as motivation.
