What match was the match of the first round in the first two brackets? The Canadian Loonie vs Triple X. I really liked the contrasting styles of this match. After a long break from e-fedding I felt like Loonie really found his voice as the RP session progressed. XXX was great as usual. My runner ups were AOD vs Ravager (good job by both) and Dan Ryan vs Rob Franklin (See below).
Who was the MVP for this round? I really liked Chris Casino's work and felt bad that he didn't have anything to work with. If he had a chance to build against a foe I probably would have given him the MVP. I also disqualify Hoyt Williams for the same reason. So my MVP goes to Rob Franklin who stood his ground against a man who is probably one of the favorites to win this whole thing.
Who had the best RP in this go round? I was tempted to go with Hoyt Williams but I'm actually going with The Icebreaker Rob Franklin's first RP in his match with Dan Ryan. I've faced Dan a number of times and he's tough to RP against. Rob took it to him right out the gate and came out looking strong.
