Whc x: Semi final live draw

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Well then. What have we just witnessed? History, that's what. Polar Bear defeated for the first time. We have a debutante in the semi finals, a debutante that is possibly now the tournament favourite. But he's up against the two time and reigning champion. He's up against the three times finalist and 'peoples champion' Honey Badger. He's up against a tiny mouse that eats its kin, beheads scorpions and howls like a wolf. Any one of them could win but only one dealt the hammer blow to an undefeated champion.

So, the draw. Four incredible competitors. Two matches, the first running from Monday to Wednesday, the second from Wednesday to Friday.

The numbers for the draw:

1 - Grasshopper Mouse
2 - Honey Badger
3 - Jaguar
4 - Salt Water Crocodile

Let's begin...

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

First out of the hat is...

number 1

That's grasshopper mouse. Always a popular competitor he saw off shrew in the quarters without breaking sweat.

He'll be facing...

Is Trevor Brooking there?

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Number 4.

That's Salt Water Crocodile. He's won the tournament for the last two years running and will be looking to make history by becoming the first competitor to make three consecutive finals.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

That leaves number 3

That's Jaguar who is having a quite sensational debut campaign.

Who'll be facing off against number 2

Honey Badger.

This should be a tremendous match up as H.B has a very large and vocal fan base but nothing can be taken for granted against Jaguar who's performance so far has been unprecedented in the annals of WHC.

Epic.

Mouse v Croc is a classic hardness/size vs apex matchup.

Jaguar v Teddy Bear With Trump Quiff should be carnage.

 

[Badger]

This is excellent. I managed to BAG myself a couple of tickets for Semi Final 1 in the ticket ballot. I'm delighted to be seeing my favourite GHM fight off against the reigning champion.

I hope they're selling half-and-half scarves.

 

[pasty]

I've been a supporter of the HB since it's debut, but having seconded the Jaguar in the nominations, will be rooting for the new boy. Should be a corker of a contest

corrected for you

I can see Jaguar winning the semi, and then beating SWC in the final based on the fact it kills other species of Croc in it's territory.

You can't compare Amazon caimans and alligators with Salt Water Crocodiles. It's like comparing a cougar with a pussy cat.

Yet you can guarantee, people will.

Completely agree, but people definitely will make the comparison.

Also a bit like comparing a Badger to a Honey Badger!

 

[LlcoolJ]

Completely agree, but people definitely will make the comparison!

It's guaranteed. However, even taking the incorrect assumption aside, it would be a very tough call between those two.

 

[MattBackHome]

Both mouth-watering ties.

I'll be happy with anything other than a SWC win to be honest.

 

[Seagull kimchi]

Jaguars are just leopards that wound up in S.America. What's the big deal? In Africa or Asia they'd be catching snacks for the Lions or Tigers to rob.

 

[Mellotron]

Fairly happy with any winner from those lot. So glad people are finally starting to understand the true essence of the WHC, no boring fat shits made the final 4.

I'm a big SWC fan but I wouldn't mind any of the others winning. They've all got a great story and will only add to the WHC legend. That said, I'd be perfectly happy if the SWC won again so basically it's all good at H.Q.

Both semis should be very competitive.
