Innergeekdom Tournament! Mike Kalinowski VS Adam Hlavac - Movie Trivia Schmoedown

[@fernandoerbin6751]

"I don't have weaknesses, I have varying degrees of strength." Probably the best one-liner in SD history.

[@sleepypanda9928]

HUGE respect to Adam for that comeback! Damn! We have seen so many competitors get off to a bad start like that and just collapse or give up, THAT was the response of a champion. Big respect to Mike for another incredibly impressive performance too! Two outstanding semi finals, can’t wait for the final now!

[@selvin97]

Johnny Goodfellow *cough* Jeff sneider *cough*

[@brendanlittle2498]

“I don’t have weaknesses, I have varying degrees of strength.” - Mike Kalinowski One of my favorite lines I’ve heard in the SchmoeDown, Kalinowski is incredible.

[@TylerMyers94]

Adam had a great comeback but Mike's just a damn machine. I can't wait to see him face Mara in the finals. That'll be an epic battle.

[@sivad1025]

Honestly, will it? I love Mara but look at the percentages. Mara beat Rachel when Rachel had a 55%ish match (opposed to her usual 90%). Mara is consistently hitting around 65%. Mike has been about 90%. Mara got 23 points against Rachel after 11 sudden death questions. Mike got 23 points without even answering the 5 pointer. It's not going to be as close as we want it to.

[@jeffnicholas6342]

"What can men do against such reckless hate"...Hlavac knows he could've performed better the first round, and that was difference. Can't wait to see what faction he joins

[@GitShiddy]

Kalinowski calling himself Dr Frankenstein & Mara Frankenstein's Monster is actual really pretty accurate. Consider Frankenstein's Monster is a sweet creature, forced into existing in a world of people scared of it, and Dr Frankenstein is a lunatic who takes things to far because of his misanthropic drive..aka the actual villain of the story. Plus if I remember correctly Dr Frankenstein's hubris gets him killed in the end whilst the creature carries on appreciating the beauty of the world.

[@TylerMyers94]

Sam Anderson That's a damn good point.

[@jrasquared1]

I wish I could like this twice

[@diplayball]

Jessica Morgan me too

[@stevenvo1999]

It could go two ways: 1. The Universal Monsters film version: Frankenstein puts down his Monster. OR 2. The original Mary Shelley novel version: Frankenstein is defeated himself.

[@GitShiddy]

Jessica Morgan Feel the same way about your comment. 😊

[@Kost3k]

Let's be real, winner being interviewed second makes more sense.

[@andrewsettle]

I think that's pretty much how every sport does it.

[@jacobleckart1699]

Props to Adam for one of the better comebacks in the Schmoedown, but mike is just playing on a whole other level right now

[@emmamcallister1632]

That was almost a bloodbath. I'm glad Adam was able to fight back and make it a match. And I can't wait for Mike versus Mara! So say what you will about KOrruption, but I now find myself routinely excited for Innergeekdom matches, which never really happened before.

[@johnbyrne8128]

Yeah, Kalinowski is fantastic in this role. He has the perfect shit eating grin for it. Love it! His promo at the end with Jen was fun, too.

[@joe0667]

Those MCU questions were brutal having to remember all those arbitrary numbers, but Kalinowski handled it well.

[@omarcadoffee]

Kristian said Kalinowski is the Shmoedowns Thanos when Mike snapped his fingers. He's right, and I'm lovin it.

[@thedrewsephYT]

Thank you Mike Kalinowski! You’re the best!

[@LAnimeMaster]

You know what? Thanks, Mike Kalinowski for making this tournament possible and give us that epic match between Mara and Rachel.

[@Itss-JJ]

Jenn is doing such a fantastic job with the interviews, I especially love her back and forth with Mike. Its amazing!

[@Paulovlyra]

Thank You for everything, Mike!... You the reason why we were presented with the best match of all time in Cuching vs Knopic

[@luke34]

This entire tournament has been great. Excellent work coming back like that Adam. KO is just laser focused right now. Ready for the next round!!

[@G00N3R7883]

Thank you Mike Kalinowski, the Innergeekdom tournment has been great to watch.

[@saffronmonsoon]

Loved the match but damn, Mike had some hard questions and he still nailed them! I'm almost sad that the live event match isn't Mike vs. Mara because even though that is a belt match with Jason, I feel a lot more emotionally invested in the competitors in the IG tournament as I've been rushing home to watch them after work whenever a new video drops every week. Props to Kristian and Mark, who I'm sure are the actual masterminds behind this tournament :)

[@jbearclowater]

Mike had some hard ones for sure, but seriously, mad props to Adam for bringing himself back into contention at the end of the match there. I thought it was a foregone conclusion after round 1, but Adam showed the potential he has in this league if he tightens up a bit.

[@TheDjMasterD]

Mike "The KILLER" Kalinowski Damn does he ever live up to the name. Great match, Very Entertaining.

[@starwarsgal2010]

Mike keeps killing it. Thank you!

[@joshuatabak95]

Fantastic Tournament! Thank you Mike!

[@Cinefanatics]

Great match! The end to this tournament will be amazing!

[@SuperSinsir]

That list of upcoming matches is crazy! Add in this match and the last 2, August 2018 could be one of the best months in Schmoedown history!

[@phillyjackson45]

Mike *'Killer"* Kalinowski *BAYBAY* #KOrupttion in full effect.

[@TheClitCommander530]

Wow! This tournament has been amazing so far, and I can't wait for the finale!

[@Alex-kf4zf]

"That's not petty at all." Classic Jen 1-liner. Also, great composure from both competitors as the match looked like it was getting one-sided. Awesome stuff.

[@AngelaSealana]

This was such a great match! You competitors are totally spoiling us fans. Thank you!!!

[@arjunkishore9585]

Damn Kalinowski is really impressive

[@matthewepperly7964]

All due respect to Hlavac. That was one of the best comeback attempts I've ever seen. The man is a bonafide competitor. But i am so happy for my boy! Good work Kalinowski, this was one of your best performances. Make this your tournament man!!

[@efett1100]

Great match! KO was on fire in the first round!

[@jaybebenitez9716]

GREAT MATCH. NEVER GIVE UP!

[@bammf89]

this tournament has been great! So I'll have to say, thank you KO

[@sportney4]

Ellis and Kalinowski had me rolling laughing with all the jokes about Adam's last name. I knew Kalinowski would make it to the finals with his determination and I still have him winning the whole thing. Congrats on the perfect round, Mike! And good comeback by Adam!

[@Atestinal]

I'm really liking how this tournament's shaping up near the end. No matter who wins the finals, the title fight with Inman's gonna be big. I still have to give the edge to Inman given he's got more experience in title fights however.

[@samuelstokes6624]

Mike is such a great heel! Keep up the good work!

[@SAVVYandSTEALTH]

Mike has studied and is on another level right now, Love it Good job both

[@jimw966]

Great match and fantastic 2nd round by Adam. Way to fight your way back. Awesome performance.

[@tannerhulse8064]

dang gotta respect Mike for studying so hard, the work has paid off, that final with him and Mara is gonna be a barnburner!

[@trinity6302]

That beginning promo is never not great! I think it's one of the best Collider has ever done! Props!

[@BarbaDjole]

The fact that Mike continues to dominate makes Korruption storyline so much better. And props to Adam for that comeback.

[@MrNathan1575]

I really really hope Mike kills it in the final. He is on a tear and the best thing in the league right now. kudos to the storyline and him in general. keep it going mate.

[@tiznip]

Thanks mike.

[@nuntiuso7347]

36:40 "I've created this entire tournament. Given you some of the best matches you've all ever seen." More like ONE of the best matches we've ever seen.

[@Hielox1887]

OMG!!! Great match and great comeback from Adam and just the last words from Kristian.... SO MANY GREAT MATCHES COMING UP.... I loos my mind ^^

[@simplyrecommended]

kalinowski is gonna be a great champion

[@raysheldon6009]

Great match! Looking forward to the finals

[@cameronhass4646]

Wow! The finals is gonna be amazing. Can’t wait to see what Mike does

[@SalOcchino]

Love the Schmoedown

[@jamiepruitt763]

Great match. Really stoked for the winner. Just two to go. Thank you Kristian and Crew.

[@patrickharden9917]

Solid match. Best one with Mike in this tourney.

[@swordude40]

It's a DAMN fine finals match we have to look forward to

[@franciscomagalhaes3639]

Great match! Mike is a beast!

[@HoneyPiss]

Two troubling fan observations... 1. Ellis completely leaves out the word "drinks" in Mike's 3rd question in round 2. 2. Kristian says "songs" instead of "song" in Hlavac's 2nd question of round 3.

[@sleepypanda9928]

Jordan Mertens yeah I’m super troubled

[@albericponcedeleon2696]

I chuckled at 1. when it happened

[@mauricioalonso2157]

Idk if this is a troll or your are really dumb...

[@kristianvukajlovic6789]

Jordan Mertens one is correct, but 2 he said what songs played instead of song plays which is the same.

[@Xtce87]

Loved this match 😊

[@jaredbennett7677]

man, great intro music! love it!

[@lukemcd07025]

Great performance from both competitors, its gonna be a great final

[@matthewgrossi3323]

Geez! Mikes a machine. This will be intense.

[@jbearclowater]

Would've loved to have seen a different result, but man, that ended up a close match after that Round 1! Great job to both!

[@Sco3000]

No bad blood in this match, just blood.

[@moviereedviews]

The first round was tough for Adam but I'm glad he kept fighting and almost took it. For Mike: wow! He's impressing me more and more!

[@brucecooley70]

Hlavac put up a damn good effort at the end there. While I was hoping this tournament ended with Kalinowski vs Cushing, Kalinowski vs Knopic is an awesome consolation prize.

[@annmarie6675]

Great match. Mike should go by KO and Killer, haha. Can't wait to see the next 2 matches!

[@mchapmond]

Mark Ellis is a national treasure.

[@seanwheat8205]

A Blessing

[@m3gadinum8]

Without Mike this whole tournament wouldnt have exist.. Thank you Mike!!!

[@Jedimindone]

Nice comeback from Adam. Thanks Mike for what's to come next!

[@hamburglar8794]

15:26 That was a complete guess. He is lucky they were allowing it because he is the one who says it in the books

[@cthulhuwayne7022]

Yeah in the first round I couldn't think of riptide either.

[@DVouts11]

This ended up being a great match. Kalinowski is a machine right now though. Just killing it!

[@helenledwith7016]

Wow! Another great Innergeekdom Match! Excellent job Mike Kalinowski. Perfect Round 1. I am genuinely torn. Mike and Mara have been my favorites. For all the flack he gets, Mike Kalinowski comes prepared. He knows his stuff and studies what he messes up on. Mara Knopic is super smart and just seems to know everything. It will be a great match. I guess I am rooting for MK to win. 😎

[@marinlepur1385]

Great match!

[@nicolasstarheart2903]

"Who is Chance Ellison?" I know something you don't know, hehehehe!

[@geoghoul]

Spit it!

[@TheIceman101418]

Pretty sure its the guy who sits to the right of Harloff

[@nicolasstarheart2903]

Chance Ellison is basically the greatest trivia player in the history of the fan leagues. Jack Of All Trivia InnerGeekdom Champion, Multiplex Entertainment TV Throwdown Champion, WorldWide Movie Trivia Singles Champion, and he held all three of those titles at the same time! He also almost became the Jukebox Trivia Champion as well! The dude is a trivia prodigy!

[@imoutotrash390]

I like That Mike's heel turn hasn't been wasted, and I hope Ghai wins to become a legendkiller character.

[@DiegoE02]

So hyped for the final. Also, I really, really hope Inman can defend the belt, but it's looking harder with every match.

[@Ty13rlikespie]

Now it doesn’t matter because, even with one less point, the outcome still would have been the same, but the Harry Potter question in round one, Dumbledore is an incorrect answer. He’s says that line in the book but in the films, only Hermione says that line.

[@travisgilbert1716]

It would have been two less if that's the case, as he wouldn't have gotten the extra question.

[@brockbuster]

That explains the weird edit after Adam answered the question.

[@91jrma]

In the film Hermione refers to Dumbledore saying that he is the one who says it. So that's why they accepted the answer!

[@sivad1025]

That's what I was thinking! Weird error.

[@MrMikeKalinowski]

Dumbledore says it. watch the films again. and multiple potter experts in the crowd backed it up.

[@echadmetz]

Good show by both of these fellas. I thought Adam was out in the beginning, but way to fight back.

[@jeffnicholas6342]

Wow! That comeback by The Haymaker was amazing...sucks he didn't win, but looking forward to see him compete in the future

[@HC_YT]

Let’s go!!!!! It’s time and #KOrruption is here!

[@85dresden]

Two of my favorites

[@praneelsingh9030]

Great match

[@SnootyMcBooty]

I’m loving this new Kalinowski...

[@genghisdon1]

nice comeback Adam, made it interesting! Good luck Mike...If Mara hadn't exploded I'd be 100% for ya, but now I'm happy with either of you winning. Thank you for the great tournament Mike!

[@slimmike56]

K.O. Killin it, give Adam some time though & he’s gonna be a real force hes got the potential

[@jbearclowater]

I hope Adam stays in this league, he could do some real damage

[@trinity6302]

He just has to prep more in st, hp and middle earth

[@HBoyzFan]

This was a neat match. Excited fo see KO vs Mara. I've been impressed w/ Mike's heel run, but I'm a Mara fan all the way

[@matthewrodriguez8913]

“Let Me Stop You Right There”.....that’s all the foo says 😂

[@kristie1929]

Really great comeback by Adam. Valiant effort. Looking forward to Mike vs Mara though

[@sayheyguy]

Damn that first round was BRUTAL for Adam

[@joshuaschaller4400]

He’s on fire!

[@joshuatabak95]

A perfect round in the Innergeekdom Division is rather impressive!

[@raysheldon6009]

Love Adam's entrance music!

[@thapelomosiuoa2913]

If you'd taken a screenshot of the end of the first round and the end of the match you'd swear it was two different matches, Adam should be really proud of how well he did in rounds 2 and 3. But alas you must give the devil his due, Mike Kalinowski has been on a tear in this tournament and I actually want to see him go the full length.

[@justinr3217]

Can’t wait!

[@amra6929]

I just love Jenn's reactions

[@ElanneHarvelle]

Can we just appreciate that Kalinowski did stick up with Friction as his intro?

[@marinlepur1385]

It's time for Schmoedown!!!

[@FinnShaggy08]

Great Match.... idk if anyone can stop KO at this point.... what happened to the scenes/story lines after the matches??? Feel like we havent seen one of those in a while.

[@dcnfreak5]

Great match by both competitors adam put up a hell of a comeback but the KOrruption can not be stopped.....Knopic v. Kalinowski will be epic!

[@OweeReviews]

Damn. Jessica is looking fine af in those post interviews.

[@statline107]

Real fun match

[@brianfurry27]

Wow that three pointer for Mike. Relatively tame question.

[@chrisbedard3924]

That first round was brutal

[@ufguy182]

KO has really turned a corner and played great lately
