Well, we've been all around the world, and what a journey it's been. We've found some new friends, sent off some old veterans, and watched the magic that is 2k14 murder the credibility of most of the show's heels. Mister TOH's Wild Ride has only just begun and I'm eager to see where this is going. So I'm back to actually finish a whole thread for once. Buuut there's a slight kink. The Power Rankings seem to be dead, so I'm just going to do this in alphabetical order. Helps space out talking about the winners and the losers.

The list of the order is below. Tell me if I missed anyone.

the list of wres


Adam Jensen


Air Man


Doctor Albert Wily


That's all for the As, the Bs in a day or two.

Did Jenson really beat Bowser and Nappa this season? I had completely forgotten that. This season really didn't make him or Snake look very good at their jobs huh? For all their talk about being VGCW's salvation, they really haven't done much saving at all. Travis did more to stop Shadoloo than them, and that was by trying to murder Falcon in cold blood! Not to mention at End Game where it took them like, 30 minutes to get from the basement to the ring where Ezio and Falcon had already defeated Bison.

Not really much to say about Air Man other than he's just downright scary now. It'll be interesting to see if anyone will be able to stand up to him next season.

Wily's run with the belt has been amazing. The guy has been around since near the beginning of the show, so it's nice to see the doctor of swag finally get his chance in the spotlight, may his title run be long and contain lots and lots of flips!

I wonder if there's any story potential right now based on the fact that both Wily and the Mavericks hold gold now?

EDIT: Oh yeah, and it looks like you forgot to do a write up for Asura, though I'm not sure if there's much to say. He started off strong with a win over Groose and in that six man tag, then he got hit with the Shadoloo curse and lost to the Dragons and Zangief. Plotwise he didn't really do much other than be Bison's shouty henchman. He was kind of the forgotten member of the team really.

^ Bowser was last season, but yeah. Jensen is looking pretty damn strong in singles.

Moogle: I know, the momentum rankings are a quality service, but I want to space out the winners and losers to vary things a bit. I dunno. (Plus I wanted an excuse to not deal with the Shadaloo mess by stalling M. Bison's write-up as long as possible.)

Oh yeah, I guess I did forget Asura. May as well write him up to finish the As.

There are worse ideas in the world than putting Angry Dad Asura and Violent Dad Flint in a tag team together. A couple of powerhouses like them could put a dent in just about anyone, the same way Dadvalanche could. That said, it's a shame the game didn't want to build Asura up. Or Flint, for that matter.

Wily's story this season is like if WWE had given Zack Ryder a proper run with the IC Title when he won it at Wrestlemania this year. I love it.

Yeah I fully agree with this on Wily, he is looking as good as Red did during his Casual reign, hell he might even be the one to finally break Red's title defense record which has withstood the likes of Segata and Air Man.

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion just yet. Wily only has 2 defenses so far and again Dracula went into his match against Phoenix with 2 defenses and Dracula was thought of as unstoppable.

People didn't think of Dracula as unstoppable. Air Man was really close, both the Barret matches were close. They just thought Phoenix would get murdered by him (which was a silly thing to think in hindsight). Dracula's matches were pretty back and forth, Wily just doesn't let his challengers do anything.

Automaton, stop being a lazy shit and write stuff for my amusement.

If Wily makes it to just five defenses, we can make comparisons to prior champs and think he's unstoppable. I love the guy and want his reign to keep going so let's not put a jinx over him before he's crossed the defense threshold.

I think of the Brothers Lee, Billy's going to be the one to watch. He's the one who actually won a singles match in the Bullies/PRATS feud
Good write up but that was actually Jimmy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m55ZNZ8HKJE

While I really liked Barret and his consistent position in the title despite never winning it (yes, seriously, I like having someone in the rankings who can be a consistent threat and yet always have a bit further to go, it's even part of his song!) I agree with the analysis of his season - both the ups and downs. I really wish he'd gotten a better send off, but I wouldn't want to drag him back just because of that, and I think that what was done was the best that could be done for him.
