My guess is that it's implied Dracula retained.
Either that or the match was ruled no contest

NOPE.
I'm...kinda hoping that isn't all we hear about Bison's motivations. That felt like a pretty lackluster promo overall, especially for something built up as the answer to everything. Really the whole thing coulda been summed up as "it was just a social experiment bro" and it would have hit all the same benchmarks he covered. Hopefully he's just playing things really close to the chest, I'll assume as much for now.

The GRAND DAD stable is cool though, so I enjoyed that payoff.

We've discussed that in the chat after the show went off, and the general gist I'm getting from it is that while it could have been summed up shorter, it fits Bison to have it go a bit longer and be more verbose, since he's a bit of a hammy and verbose villain.

Plus, he's viewing our frustrations with him talking on and on as a negative emotion he's feeding on.

I feel like maybe it could have had a couple screens condensed down, but I'm not sure so I might just go back later and review it to see if I can give specific examples/suggestions for where I personally think it could have been cut down, but it does make some sense for Bison to try and anger us in every way possible.

That would default to the same thing, just like a DQ would.

The problem here is that none of the potential champions had the belt. Not Dracula, Wallace, Ganondorf, or even Bison himself. I'm starting to wonder if we should just call Vacant the champion for now.

The impression I got was less, "its just a social experiment bro" and more "your tears only make me stronger". He said why he wants to make us mad but I don't feel like he's really explained what his ultimate motivations are yet.

Well an evil mastermind has to keep some of his cards hidden, right?

Basically, it's less 'it's just an experiment, bro' and more 'you're feeding right into my hands, this is only the beginning.'

He has only just begun to pour on his salt. :salt:

((Though I agree, it could've been a bit more impactful - after interrupting a Championship match, coming on at the end to deliver a long-winded speech just felt like a huge letdown...which in the sense that he's trying to stir resentment towards him from us, the crowd, makes a lot of sense. And it IS still working at least.))

We will all go together when we go
Bison's psycho energy literally runs on salt.
The more people hate him, the more powerful he becomes.

That's not my idea, that's actually how it works in the Street Fighter universe. Look it up.

That's why Bison is doing this. He really is just trying to get heel heat. It's because hatred fuels his powers. The Flintstones played right into his hands.

I do think the plot tonight could've been better, though. PyrrhicKong's video is so far looking better than the actual thing.

I'll throw my chip in and say I thought the plot meandered a touch. We're noting this for future reference.

For the actual substance of it, though, I think you'll see it our way in coming episodes.

So I just found out what the meaning of GRAND DAD is and I hope there is some appropriate music in the future.

Not sure what you were told, but this is what I was thinking of based on chat reaction.

So did anyone take recordings? I heard something about fits not being able to and I want to rewatch some of the plot scenes.
