I've had this post waiting for a while, just haven't had a chance to actually finish it. Here's the King of Awesome, I'll have a few more guys up after Killscreen tonight. (If I have time, I'll post the Patron Saint of Glitches before Killscreen. Because what could possibly go wrong?)

The amicable feuds leading to an Endgame match has resulted in some...interesting teams to say the least. PK Chu won the Co-Op Championships, but it did essentially kill Ness' career by just being Red's mouthpiece. The Dark Lords were a bust, but it was funny and an interesting diversion for Ganondorf and Dracula. Sonic Truffle and Final Fantasy 3 & Knuckles were also formed like this and they are both well-regarded teams.

I'm sure you know what I'm getting at when I'm bringing this up in regards to Bowser. Bowser and Ridley sound like they can be a great team. If they were a team, I'd think they would have the potential to be more interesting than the following teams currently in VGCW: Two-Timing, CXY, Deadly Alliance (don't break them up though, just give them plot), Salvations Ops, Shadow Ball Valley, Final Fantasy 3 & Knuckles, Fisherman's Horizon, and maybe even THE BEST team currently in VGCW: Sonic Truffle.

Bowser for 12 seasons has been constantly in singles. I mean people are fine with him just building momentum, then fucking it up at the last moment only to go back to the drawing board, but he could use a different direction. We don't know what's he like as a tag performer and his match with Ridley didn't have a lot of a build to it so this would be a way to continue it. Bowser is gold in plot and Ridley so far is gold in plot too. So it won't be a PK Chu/Dark Lords situation where they won't mesh well together.

How likely of a chance they will form a team? Probably not likely though since a lot of other new teams have formed in the past two seasons (though I think Two-Timing, CXY, Salvation Ops are not interesting teams right now) and make it seem like the tag division will get bloated by adding Bowser and Ridley.

I suppose the only other thing I want to actually say about Bowser's Season 12 is that him going to the top rope in his match with Ridley was fucking based. The King of Awesome always knows to deliver in big matches.

I would miss Bowser in the major belt run, but wouldn't mind him and Ridley together at all... difficult choice.

Fun fact, Bowser is the only wrestler on the VGCW roster to fly solo his entire career, if we discount people such as Kanji who haven't actually had time to assemble a unit, be it a stable or tag team.

So I know it seems like this project's collapsed before it started, but work has sucked massively. My day off is tomorrow though, so I'll have a fresh batch ready after some revisions to my stream of thought writing. Mostly hammering out some excessive venom from my Captain Falcon obituary.

I feel like saying bad things about Two-Timing and CXY is jumping the gun. I certainly don't care about ether team but they've only ever had one match. Things can still happen.

I'm just going to say this right now PlasticAutomaton, but who managed to get a #1 Contenders Match for the Co-Op Titles this season? Sonic Truffle.

They won one out of five matches. They're comedy face (ish) jobbers. But really fun jobbers. It's a good place for them.

EDIT: I also really want to see Arino and Raiden as a team now. I have no idea how that would work, but hey, why not.

Calling Blood Falcon the "Starscream of Shadaloo" is a really poor analogy because Starscream is an extremely important part of the Decepticon war machine and is also one of the more powerful Decepticons and is generally at a level when you can't step to him unless you're a big deal. Also, Blood Falcon didn't ever try to usurp control of Shadaloo.

Yeah...Break Man seems to be up and down when it comes to his singles matches, one moment he's finishing people with one sig, the next....he loses to Waluigi. I do think one of the reasons the Mavericks are so good in tag is mostly due to Air Man.

I don't think Break Man losing to Waluigi should be held against him. Waluigi's whole shtick is that he's the ultimate wildcard, capable of winning against anybody, but also losing against anybody.

'Wildcard' sounds a lot better than 'jobber', is the thing.

A jobber doesn't ever punch above their weight though. Yes, Waluigi is the 2x Jobber Champion and we love him for it, but he's also held championships before and has beaten respectable opponents. If you look at Zubaz or old Gary Oak, people who are actual jobbers, there is a clear difference between them and Waluigi.

Yeah but the best people old Waluigi beat were Gerudo Skies with Wario, where he pinned the weak link of them, and Bazza-era Dracula, where he didn't need to pin him at all. Between those two are enough losses in a row to get a less popular character ridiculed, so I do think it is just popularity and not him actually being a wildcard. Rinoa got called that too, and she hasn't won a match in over a year.
