No-one benefited more from the transition from Bazza to TOH than Ezio. Guy totally got a new lease on life and it was fantastic.

Arino is awesome. It looked like he might get a chance for the Triple Crown at the start of the season, he'd probably only need to win another match or two to get a shot, but it was not to be. For now he remains as a solid midcarder. You never know, only takes 3 or so wins in a row before he is maybe seen as worthy for a shot.

Ezio is somebody I never liked but he did really well this season so good on him. He ended the season losing though so maybe the natural order is being restored. Next season will be interesting for him.

Octodad had nowhere to go but up, really. He got plot importance this season but next season he'll be back to being funny guy who dances. Win the matches, Octodad.

I like The Dragons even though most people don't. There's nobody cool enough to take the titles from them yet. Shadow Ball Valley seems like the team for the job if you ask me.

Guile is somebody I love to hate so its a bit of a shame that he did so poorly this season. Oh well, a run in the midcard for a while won't hurt him. He can always piss us off by going for the tag titles too.

The Dragons need to do more things. It feels like going into every title match the build is focused heavily on the challengers, whereas The Dragons are just kinda... there. They need an actual presence. They're certainly not bad in plot, and putting all the focus on the challengers up to this point hasn't even paid off anyway.

Did Automaton hand Mosaique the reins, or is this a separate evaluation in the mean time? Regardless, the assessments are good, though not quite as in-depth as Automation's are. These are a bit dry and more of a W/L summary of the season, and I think they'd benefit from having the "in-ring", "in-plot", and "trending" features.

Arino had charming plot segments and two excellent matches against Edgeworth and Segata, and Ezio was on fire in his matches and plots. It's a shame that the Birds didn't get the Co-op Titles and Auditore was felled by the Punch-Punch-Shove in the VGCW contender match, but overall he's had a great season. Grabass and grabbing the brass ring couldn't have come at a better time and it's definitely made people fall in love with the assassin all over again. Octodad was really likable in plot and I loved how his burbles gradually became more and more detailed throughout the season, giving him a voice that still stuck to his unique and humorous roots. Game Face vs. Glitch Man was such a fantastic moment at End Game too, and one of the best surprise matches we've ever had.

The Dragons kind of stepped back in plot to let the other teams grow and we did get some great plots and moments because of it. Unfortunately for those teams, the AI was not kind in the title matches and The Dragons were still great. I enjoy the Lee brothers and think that them having a strong, good reign has worked out well considering the time it took for them to finally become champs and all the hype behind them. That said, it was kind of unfortunate that the most hype, new, and freshly invigorated teams wound up being their three opponents and losing this season. Finally, Guile's kept his dickery up nicely and I think he still serves a good role, and I really liked his bitter and foolhardy attempt to reorganize the Ring Rangers at End Game. It was also neat that his open challenge of sorts, issued way back in Season 8 while talking to Vegeta, was finally answered by Mike Haggar. Having that chapter wrapped up might be just what Guile needs to go in a new direction for the future.

It's gotta be The Fuckheads. SBV are probably capable of beating The Dragons, but Red winning the tag titles a second time would just seem like him spinning his wheels.

What exactly is the point of a tag team that never tries to become the tag champs?

I am still upset that Barret looked at Goemon's slight momentum rise and apparently decided to trashcan it completely. Does he just hate Konami?

Barret was hit really hard by the Silent Hills cancellation and hates everything Konami-related to this day.

Oh man, Dante makes a perfect victim for silly shit like this, doesn't he? Total asshole who gets fucked over by the supernatural made him a delight to watch this season even in defeat.

Record: 2-4 (Total), 0-2 (Singles)

Matches: The Bullies (Win), Nappa, Ezio (Loss), Flint (Loss), The Saiyans (Loss), Segata Sanshiro (Loss), BLU Rogues (Win)


Following the aftermath of End Game X-1, Dante was forced to team up with Travis. Whenever the two were on camera, the two exchanged copious amounts of profanity. Ah, that's the youth.

The rocket strapped to his back ran out of fuel, and simply speaking, Dante did not perform well this season. Hilariously enough, Dante did great in tag matches. Even though Dante hates Travis, he might be his greatest ally in the future.

Dante was one of biggest victim of Gameshark to everyone's humor. Here are some examples.

Teleported into RAW arena in Buffalo, New York. Dante decided to attack Travis in that match.
When Travis wrestled Waluigi, Dante swapped sides with Wario and managed Waluigi. Was this even Gameshark's doing?
Turned into a girl. Literally.

Duke gives me a YTJ style feeling.
He's someone that a win over means something, good to boost up already rising and established stars, while still being well received and not really ever seeming weak.

Duke is still a threat, and is still a very solid wrestler. But the harsh fact is that the guy has had a lot of big chances and always lets it slip right at the end. His title match with Scorpion, his GM Tournament fight with Gary, his King of the Beach final with Vegeta. While he's not at the level of, say, Barret, the man has made a habit out of looking unstoppable until the time comes to put over someone with more momentum, like Dracula or Vegeta. He's clearly strong, you don't survive a fight with Nappa, let alone beat him, without being strong.

What Duke needs is a trip to multi-man hell. The guy has a disproportionate number of singles matches and it's high time he spent a season slumming it like Illidan or Airman or Groose before him. Also, more Mama and Duke cutscenes. The pairing adds a hell of a lot of personality to Duke and he can always use it.
