Guess I'm mistaking Flint and Barret for another team that went for the belts last season besides Ops...for some reason I thought it was them.

Last season, TJ&E, Birds of Prey, and Salvation Ops were the teams that The Dragons defended against. Looking back on it, Flint and Barret are one of only four active teams who have beaten The Dragons (the other three are The Saiyans, The Practice, and The Mavericks), and their win over them was the most recent. Considering the momentum they have, it would make sense for Barret and Flint to be the first to step up in the Gauntlet.

Bird of Prey, thats who I mistook them for. Anyhow, I still say Flint and Red for Casuals for sure at the very least (hell that would be an amazing match right there), King Vegeta should have top billing for the main belt for sure, if he doesn't put himself in the match first

Yeah, I'm going to agree with letting Barret and Flint have the first shot in the gauntlet. They seem to have the best momentum of anyone right now.

Now for the Money in the Bank. We know Ganon's earned a spot, is there anyone else you'd like to see?

Maybe the next two episodes will have two qualifying matches each, and Bison will muscle his way into the sixth spot.

Some potential contenders:

Johnny Cage
Bowser
Phoenix Wright
Kanji
Ezio
Illidan
Duke Nukem
Break Man

We'll see if TOH only wants really worthy people in MITB or if we'll get some Waluigi vs Zubaz kinda matches to fill it out. Put fucking Bowser in that match though.

Haggar and Ganondorf had one big thing in Common.
A win at endgame.
The only other endgame winners that arn't titleized are Sonic and Knuckles.
Predicting them for the next qualifier.

Yo, it's me. It's me. It's A.T.B.
I'm thinking that Layton might find himself into MitB, as the sixth man or so. Would be a good up and comer who could be calculating holding onto the briefcase

Yeah Slayton with the MitB would be amazing. You wouldn't know if the briefcase had a crossword puzzle or a nail bomb inside of it.

Foxy's idea of Sonic vs Knuckles for a spot is a good one, and definitely would build for a feud down the road. My dream line-up would be...

Bowser vs Waluigi vs Layton vs Groose vs Breakman vs Sonic/Knuckles & Knuckles.

Groose's Casual run was so good I think it automatically earns him a shot, and he's going to make a go at the main event this season regardless what happens. Waluigi has won a couple in row solo, also the crowd will be behind him after what happened last season, even more so than Bowser. Break's form has been excellent and would be a solid hand story wise if he got the briefcase.

We got a rat. Armstrong and Break Man are doing their own things, so I doubt they are one.

So who is it?

You know who else got a win at Endgame? Octodad.
Octodad vs Sonic sounds like a bit more of an even matchup, and considering that Octodad's match was plotwise and Sonic beat /Toad/, while Knuckles beat the former defending champion, Knuckles could head strait into the MITB while Sonic and Octodad fight for contention.

NOPE.
Outside of the MitB, the fact that Dracula gets to choose his own contender makes it an interesting dilemma: does he try to be a sneaky heel and attempt to get a supposedly easy win, or does he play the honorable champ role and give the most worthy guy a chance?

Personally, I hope he goes the sneaky heel route, and with one person in particular. Given that he's gonna be fighting in his hometown, he's probably gonna want to fight someone that makes him look good. The fact that he can book the match himself also means that he can potentially exorcise past demons as well in one fell swoop. If he wins, then that sneaky Dracula reminds us that he's still an asshole at heart. But if the miracle happen, he gives a huge rub to a current down-on-his-luck fan favorite in one of the defining moments in VGCW.

Basically, what I'm saying is that I want to see Dracula vs Waluigi II.

Bowser was on an awful streak last season though. Beating Toad isn't worthy of a contendership. Put him against a top carder and let's see if the dreaded King of Awesome is back.

Btw, Rainbow Rhodes is out of his moveset? I loved that move.
He wasn't awful last season. He crushed Duke (top carder), lost to Red (upper mid carder and fairly recent top carder), lost to Adam Jensen (too early to tell where he stands in singles after his revamp), beat Kefka (jobber/lower midcarder) and lost to Vegeta (clearly a top carder now)

So...not really seeing where "awful streak" comes from. He went 2-3 and the three people he lost to seem formidable as fuck. He's had worse seasons, like when he lost to Ebisumaru or even the season before last season when he lost to Edgeworth.

But I agree, beating Toad is basically nothing. I want Bowser vs Knuckles or Sabin.
Super late response, but I meant it was awful for Bowser since he used to be the guy almost no one could beat. Considering that, 3 losses in one season is pretty bad.

If I were booking, just to try and make some controversy it'd be Drac vs Zubaz. If Drac smokes the Baz, he'd get the malice of the fans for being such a big cheater. If Zubaz wins, the crowd riots. Either way, it'd be hilariously great.

If Drac wanted to get a win back ala Waluigi, he could choose Bowser, who literally trashed him a couple End Games ago.
