My turn...
Center Ring:
Troy Windham (Champion)
Title Shot Ring
1) Peter Lenex-I think that this guy did quite the work load enough and pulled out some good quality rps that should allow him to have a good showing and thus move him right onto the center ring.
2) TIED: Eli Flair and Dan Ryan. This is so hard for me because both of these guys were so in their elements and you got to see them shine equally. I am so torn here, but I think that this one will be close. I totally agree with ERON in that Dan Ryan truly is the all-time best shutdown rper on the net, and Eli truly is turning into an efed legend. Anyone who rps against any one of these two will be in for some of the greatest fun that they've ever had.
Honorable Mention: Tied: Hornet and Johnathan Winters. Winters I know from the WWA (World Wrestling Alliance and he is awesome, it is so good to see him in the CSWA/FWC man welcome and of course Hornet is quite the veteran in his own right who had a nice little showing here.
Greensburo Championship Title Ring
Champion: JA
3) Kevin Watson-Really was on fire this session and if there is one man that could take JA's title it is him.
4) JA-Proved why he is champion and even though I see Watson moving onto the center ring with the Greensburo title, I see JA hot on his tail and even when it is all said and done I could really see these two continue on a nice little fued as JA exercises his rematch and tries to capture back his title from Watson.
Honorable Mention: Nemesis/Eron The Relentless. I see both of these guys getting out what they put in and having at least a good showing in the match. They may or may not move on, but they will have my pick of "sleepers of the tournament".
Presidential Championship Title Ring
Champion: Jay Phoenix
Oh my god, this was without a doubt the hardest thread to rp in. I mean so many people really jumped out of the gate fast and really didn't let up. Phoenix definately has his work cut out for him in this one and then some. So many characters could easily win this ring and move onto the center ring. I had to carefully evaluate and re-evaluate each one to even pick a winner and I am still unclear on this one. I call this prediction with lots and lots of trepidation, but here it goes but this is very very hard for me to decide this.
5) John Doe-really set the tone as he was the first one on the board and really kept going. Was a true work horse and deserves to take the title and move onto the center ring. He kept up with everybody in this thread and then some.
6) Cameron Cruise-Also really put up a good fight and I think that he will squeak on by into the center ring by the skin of his teeth.
Honorable mentions:
a) Tobias Stevens-at last a fellow kindred spirit, and I thought that I was the only long winded, book writing rper on FWC. Hehehehehehe! Really had a great showing and I think that he could be a surprise and shock a lot of people, so I am definately not counting him out.
b) The Don-Was another one that stayed neck and neck with Tobias and really impressed me. Had some really charismatic rp.
US Championship Title Ring
Champion: Kin Hiroshi
I can't really prediction who will win this ring and move onto the center ring since this was my ring, but I will just use this as my way of commenting on each one of my oponants.
7) Kin Hiroshi-Mike, you truly are the man, and I can see why not only you are the CSWA US Champion, but also why you have flourished beyond our time in GXW. I have had so much fun rping against you and I can't wait for the time when we will do it again. Like ERON said, "You have truly outgrown your pond and you need to compete with the likes of Troy Windham and so forth. You are in a class all by yourself and I can only be so blessed just for a touch of your garmet. I bow down to you in respect and humility dude, you SO kick ass forever. VIVA HIROSH 4-EVER. I hope that we will continue our little feud that we have started so far and not let up. Win or lose, it was truly an honor to be going up against you again.
8) Simon Theodore-You started late, but when you got going, you caught up and really made a name for yourself man. You are both charismatic and funny. Your character is simplistic and that is why I think that he could very far in CSWA just keep up the awesome work and I look forward to the day when you and I lock up individually in the ring after the goldrush tournament is over with.
Honorable mentions (people that caught my eye)
a) Troy Douglas-another GXW allumni that I am happy to see again and great to work with man. This was a great brief appearance, but as usual you made your pressence known, and I hope that we can throw down again in the CSWA roster after the tourney is concluded.
b) Nova-A nice little appearance, but it was nothing more than a run in and I wish that he could of done more as he could of had more of an exchange with everybody.
c) Zell Hunter-Ah yeah, the GXW Allumn Trifecta completes with my old running buddy. Very late, but like I have told you time and time again, "better late than never at all"
Overall winner?
I gotta say that I actually see Troy Windham maybe being the only one that truly retains his title and moves on because this round he showed just why he is at the top of the mountain and wearing the Unifed Title. He dominated everything and everyone, and I can't really see anyone that totally takes it from him this round.
However, I still think that Someone like Kin Hiroshi will at least move on and chase down Windham after the tourament is concluded. I think that he is just the man to give Windhamn a nice little chase.
Awesome job to everyone who rped and participated. I had so much fun and can't wait to continue to rp with each and every one of you in the CSWA.
