I wasn't able to post my second RP in my matchup with Codine, but in case people missed it, I did a hype RP that provides some good context. Just wanted to point that out.

Tom's work with The Phantom Republican has been hysterical, but he's facing a jobber so that's an obvious choice. I'm loving what Eli Flair, Cancer Jiles and Boogie Smallz are doing, so those are favorites in my eyes.

'COOL' Cancer Jiles vs The True Face: CCJ has a ton of style, but lacks to me a little bit in the substance department. With some more meat on those bones, he could be a serious threat.

Jackson vs Sean Edmunds: Jackson's piece was solid, but a two to one RP advantage and solid work from Edmunds carries him on to round two.

The Phantom Republican vs Henderson Bramble (j): TH can go trash talk or story with TPR, making him doubly dangerous in his ability to adapt. He wins here, obvs.

"Hot" Johnny Tropic (j) vs Shane Rothenstein: Rothenstein.

Grim Reaper (j) vs Jacob McKail: McKail.

Vagabond vs 'Total Elimination' Eli Flair: Pretty competitive, I thought. Flair wins here, on the back of two RPs that do a great job of both being traditional promo pieces and telling a story, though Vagabond to me would win a lot of these first round matchups, so tough luck to him on his draw.

"The Only Star" Eric Dane vs Go-Go Spectacular: Dane in another competitive battle here. He's old school as Hell, but does it well enough to carry the day and make himself stand out above the hordes of old school promo artists.

Wesley Paige (j) vs 'The Cure' Matt Caje; The Cure, rocking the old school :: :: to denote action, like a boss.

The Swerve vs Troy "The Baller" Franklin: Troy balls on to the next round unabated.

'The Blade' Kendall Codine vs Steve 'Axion' Jackson: Both guys close in skill, Codine did two RPs, Codine advances.

Azreal vs Mikey Massacre: Massacre wins here. His character's pretty cool.

Black vs Alias: Letting Russ get a free win is dangerous, dangerous stuff.

"Registered Sex Offender" Frank Wilkes vs Max Blackshire: Blackshire wins by showing, and Hopper is sad he doesn't get to bring up the RSO in future podcasts.

Kiyimori vs Karl 'The Dragon' Brown: Really close, in that both guys hit a lot of the same notes. This is razor thin in my estimation. We'll say the Dragon by a wisp of smoke.

Boogie Smallz vs Jack Eastwood: Classic, CLASSIC battle of story vs. promo. I have Boogie Smallz here, but no result would particularly surprise me. Eastwood did a good job with his stuff, but Boogie's command of the character pips him at the post.

'Big Nasty' Mark McNasty vs Jesse Ramey: Either guy could have taken it with a second RP. Toss-up to me. Pro-ACW bias says I pick Ramey.

I've already accepted the fact that Eli Flair will win our match. I gave it the best I could, but it was no where near what I'm capable of. Yes, I did in fact get a tough draw. But you win some, you lose some. S'all good in my book.

- Vagabond/Flair: Flair's first RP was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. He framed a story and really drove home what brought him back to wrestling after virtual retirement. The second promo was good, but I felt the actual "promo" portion felt a bit redundant from the same part of the first. I think if he was going to post without Vagabond posting, he should've left out the "promo" part of it and just left it with the bar scene and the flashbacks. Vagabond had good form, but I feel like his content in his first offering was a bit of the same ol', same ol'. Flair wins, but I have to give some props to Vagabond for a valiant effort.

- Jackson/Edmunds: Uninspiring matchup. Edge to Edmunds. Not a whole lot to say about it though.

- Kiyomuri/Brown: This match is an exhibit in not waiting for your opponent to reply. Brown had a strong start, but I feel like Kiyomuri eviscerated him in his two replies. I like the Kiyo character too. Looking forward to seeing what he can do in future rounds.

- Boogie/Eastwood: Interesting path for Boogie to take his character. He finally grow'd up. Naww. I didn't feel like he had his legs under him yet, but it was better than reading a fantastical tale of drug deals. Ugh.

- CCJ/Face: Wait, why were people raving about CCJ again? His first promo was good, but far from the best I've read. I thought it was a bit smug to have Cliff's notes in the setting brackets. Subtlety. That being said, TF didn't really say anything and CCJ did, so I'd advance the Cancer here.

- Dane/Go-Go: Go-Go wanted Troy Windham in the first round? Couldn't even handle Dane. Like, part of cutting a good promo is interplay between the wrestlers. Dane virtually implied that he could rape Go-Go if he wanted to, and the comeback was some tripe about being a "strong, Latina", which was repeated too many times for my liking. If I judged this bracket, I wouldn't think twice about voting Dane here.

- Codine/Axion: What a debut promo from Axion Jackson. Holy poop, it was focused, referenced history and totally countered what Codine said without sounding like it tried to counter it solely. Codine had a chance to come back, but I thought him going FJM-style felt too hard like trying to counter Axion's promo solely. Easily would vote for Axion here.

- McNasty/Ramey: Decent enough back and forth here. I'd give the slight edge to McNasty, because I thought his had a better narrative, but again, it was close.

Sorry, was writing my promo against Castor in advance. Now, apart from the obvious...

Brown seemed far too lackadaisical in this big tournament to make me feel like a champ in waiting. Of course there's the issue that Ki waited till Brown exhausted himself before fighting full force against him, but at the heart of it; Karl "the Dragon" Brown doesn't sound like an interesting enough character to make it out on his own, even with the courage of typing two promos back-to-back without using anything from his opponent. Open-minded and flexible-minded are real life qualities, not "wrestling" qualities.

Boogie over Eastwood please if the judges value good talking over long storylines. Drug promo for first half of the first promo without mention of the opponent or the tournament. I'm not doubting Eastwood handler's efforts here, there's certainly enough material in his work to impress anyone and if he wins this would certainly influence my writing technique to come... but I'm hoping Boogie wins it.

I guess this bracket doesn't get much love from reviewers because most of the outcomes are fairly obvious. The toughest match to rate would be McNasty vs Rammey... And I think McNasty wins it (rule of thumb: for even promo quantity or when in doubt, pick the guy that got the last word in). Rammey felt too one-dimensional with his unique approach of "I need it", McNasty showed himself as the new generation (really should've used that line along with the Pepsi advertisement) who nonetheless fought in some classic EW wars. If McNasty loses, I'll see it as him lacking bite because he seemed like he wanted to fight against a legend rather than win the Ultratitle.

Nice to see some good comments about mine :) I'll do a full prediction this weekend, but I take on board the "posting twice before opponent posts" bit. I did the second one because I was running out of time I could post in, since I had work the next morning and had maybe an hour before bed. That's the problem with living in the UK, I'm very easy to snipe. Had I been able to get something up sooner and not been rushing up and down the country after my Grandmother's death, I do think Kiyomori and I would have had a much stronger battle, or at least I'd've been able to get a stronger second piece up. I do apologise for being below my usual standards with those two.

The past two weeks have been really rough with me starting a new job, so if McNasty does win our match, congrats. Wish I could have put out some better material; but regardless. At least I showed up. lol

To Jesse. It was fun dude. I enjoyed reading your rp. I understand RLCF(Real Life Comes First). So whoever wins, again, it was fun.

Interesting to hear what people had to say about my promo; I'd be surprised if I won, considering the struggle in converting story to talk.

Is this Nash/Eric Herrerra? The guy with the Warhead drug deal for the first half of the first promo? The guy who said my promos were bad, that any efed who promoted Spooky Doom/American Freebear couldn't be taken seriously?

Please let it be so, I so need a laugh right now.

My style's not to everybody's tastes, I get that.

And to Spooky, you must have me mistaken for somebody else; I'm not Eric Herrerra.

EDIT: Found the guy I think you thought I was. Same handler name is all.

While I may not have enjoyed Eastwood's work. I can say from experience that he isn't a douchebag.

Cancer Jiles vs. The True Face: Jiles is a pretty fun character -- not necessarily the best of them all, mind you, but I thought he did pretty good work. True Face was solid but not spectacular. I go with Jiles.

Jackson vs. Sean Edmunds: Jackson's one RP rambled a bit too much for my tastes. Edmunds did a better job of getting to the point in his work, so I go with Edmunds.

The Phantom Republican vs. Henderson Bramble: TPR wins with the Newt Gingrich concession speech!

Johnny Tropic vs. Shane Rothenstein: Tropic wins with the coconut to the head!

Jacob McKail vs. Grim Reaper: McKail wins with the leafy greens!

Eli Flair vs. Vagabond: Eli had some long material but he did well in keeping my attention and interest drawn. I liked Vagabond's first RP but his second RP just seemed to be missing something. I'd go with Flair.

Eric Dane vs. Go-Go Spectacular: Go-Go had a good first RP but the second one wasn't that good. Dane had good work both times, so I pick him.

Matt Caje vs. Wesley Paige: Caje wins with the atomic noogie!

The Swerve vs. Tony Franklin: Nothing from Swerve so Franklin advances.

Kendall Codine vs. Steve Jackson: Kendall's first piece was pretty good but his second piece lifted a bit too many clips from Jackson's one piece -- a piece I really liked. I am leaning toward Jackson here.

Azrael vs. Mikey Massacre: Azrael is a no show so Mikey is moving on.

Black vs. Alias: Nothing from Black so Alias moves on.

Frank Wilkes vs. Max Blackshire: Wilkes no-showed so Blackshire advances.

Kiyimori vs. Karl Brown: Brown was solid but Kiyimori was really good, so I go with Kiyimori.

Boogie Smallz vs. Jack Eastwood: I've always been a Boogie Smallz fan and I'm definitely interested with the direction he's going. As for Eastwood... I just couldn't get into his character. Call me biased, but Boogie Smallz all the way.

Mark McNasty vs. Jesse Ramey: I really don't think either guy put out his best work. Ramey did a better job of getting to the point, IMO, so I'd go with him.

If Go-Go Spectacular starts wearing a Belinda Carlisle unitard and changes her theme music to "Our Lips Are Sealed", I will give her five extra bonus points right here and now.
