I'd also like to see Bowser and AVGN go at it one on one for a title shot. Both of them are former champions from VGCW's earlier days, neither of them have actually been in a title match since their respective title wins, and power rankings wise, aside from a short period when AVGN lost a match or two, both he and Bowser have been in or near the top ten for a loooooong time now. Nothing against Mac, but I just feel like we could have at least one more contender match and title bout without him involved. And as for Ganondorf, I still think he needs one more act of evil/feud with someone to really cement his heel status, and if it ended up being him that took the title from Gaben...with all the people that kayfabe dislike Gaben for being a bad GM / actually dislike him because they think he's over powered...I think Gandondorf winning would end up making people like him more, which would further leave him trapped in this weird gray area of "awkwardly trying to do bad but still ending up with fans in the process but still not quite being a cool Stone Cold type anti-hero" Also, Wario and Sonic make for some interesting wild cards. Both of them of had some surprisingly strong single showings as of late, and if I couldn't get my dream one on one match as detailed above above, I'd definitely settle for adding these two to the mix and having all four of them go at it. |

Learning to make a good caw since 2k13

I don't quite think Ganon will ever be a true heal because he's not Dan, maybe he can team with Kefia and go on a tour of evil and stuff. That or just say screw it and do Undertaker-ish stuff, ie appear from under the ring and chokeslam the hell out of someone. |

The problem with the Nerd is that he's the co-op champion and it looks like we're going to have all the titles defended at the next end-game, so having him in a championship contenders match might not be in the cards. Which is a shame, because he absolutely deserves it. There's a similar problem for Wario. Maybe we actually see a number other than six this time through. I could see any of Ganon/Bowser/Sonic/Wario going for it (assuming Wario's not in the Co-op championship.... maybe delay the booking for the championship match until the co-op contenders has been cemented.) I have a sneaking suspicion that we're going to see some kind of Duke/Ganon match going on in Endgame 6. It might be enough to get the Dark Lord out of consideration. Also potentially worthy of a mention: Mr Satan. He's lost a couple of recent matches, but he hasn't been pinned, submitted, or been DQed since the last #1 contenders bout, where he was the last guy standing against Haggar. |

Ganon's held both the VGCW and Co-Op belts at the same time before, so having a Co-Op belt shouldn't preclude someone from going after either of the two singles belts. For a more recent example, Knuckles was #1 Contender for both the Casual and Co-Op belts, and could have been champion in both had his matches gone differently. Of course, both those matches were on different nights. Out of curiosity, back when Ganon had the Co-Op and main titles, was there ever a night where he defended both titles on the same broadcast? |

No. Ganondorf lost the VGCW title the same night he won the Co-Op title. He only held both belts for less than an hour. |

Yeah. It's not having two belts that I'm worried about. It's the Nerd/Wario being booked in two different matches in the same night. |

The Dragons did NOTHING wrong

Looks like the Saiyans will probably be up next for a shot at the Co-op title, having beaten both The Dragons and Team Fortress 2 in the past 3 shows. |

I am seconding (thirding?) the call for a Nerd/Bowser singles contendership match. They've both been so good for so long - AVGN since mid-July (!), Bowser since returning mid-October - and they're so far ahead of the other contenders that not letting them go one-on-one would be unfair. As for AVGN being double-booked, well, he would actually have to defeat Bowser for it to happen, but it's not entirely unprecedented when it's warranted. IIRC Gabe fought in three matches in one night. |

Did you know? Groose is the 'youngest' VGCW Champion to date, having debuted in episode 307. Aside from Mike Haggar, who debuted in episode 201, the other seventeen VGCW Champions debuted Season 1 or Pre-Archive. Normally, I’ve looked to the Top 10 for VGCW #1 Contenders matches. We’ve got a bit of an unusual situation this time around. Half of the Top 10 are either definitely or most likely not going to be in it. Gabe, he’s champion. Segata and AVGN will be defending their titles, unlikely to be chosen for another match the same night. Haggar was just champion and hasn’t had a match since. Goemon is the Casual #1 Contender. Heck, most would throw out Sagat too for being tag-exclusive this season. Re: Segata and AVGN: In case anyone’s wondering about the scheduling, we just had episode 608 and Bazza said this would be a short season. S1 - 14 episodes, S2 - 8, S3 - 9, S4 - 9, S5 - 13. So I’m expecting only 2 or 3 more episodes and the next defenses for all titles to be at End Game 6. Here’s what I got, with emphasis on each wrestler’s record here in Season 6/2K14. Likely Contenders Bowser (#3) has beaten Dracula, Proto Man, and Barret. The King of Awesome has to be considered not only a lock, but the favorite. Still, anything can happen in VGCW! Little Mac (#5) has beaten Guile and Knuckles. He’s still got the touch. I’ve said before that I don’t like defeated champions getting right back into the title scene, but it’s been just long enough. Ganondorf (#7) has beaten Duke and Wily. Hard to deny Ganon a Contenders shot, unless there’s interference like Duke forcing a rematch or Air Man trying to avenge Wily’s defeat or something.After those three, it gets harder. These next three could easily be swapped with some of the Dark Horses. Groose (#14) pinned Octodad to win the Triple Threat against him and Snake, beat Proto Man, and lost but didn’t get pinned in the Triple Threat with Snake and Scorpion. Not winning that last match hurts, but at least he didn’t take the pin. He could make it. Wario (#8) has beaten Goemon. Goemon just became Casual #1 Contender, so beating him tells me Wario’s ready for a bigger stage. Wario will be in a Co-Op #1 Contender match, so he may not be available for the VGCW #1 Contenders. Sonic the Hedgehog (#11) has beaten Donkey Kong. He was a Co-Op #1 Contender, but lost to reigning champs GameCenter FU. Winning over DK doesn’t mean what it used to, but he might squeeze in. He’s looked good in Co-Op after all.Dark Horses Scorpion (#20) has beaten Octodad, pinned Air Man to win the Triple Threat against him and Satan, and got pinned by Snake to lose the Triple Threat against him and Groose. The tremendous momentum Scorpion’s had since 5-5 just got blunted by taking the pin last match. That ranking does hurt. DK was #20 too, and Goemon #16 going into the Casual #1 Contenders match. Power Rankings aren't everything, though, which is why he's at the top of my Dark Horses list over these others. I love you Scorpion! Sagat (#9) has had some success in Co-Op, but not enough to be Co-Op #1 Contender. I’d be surprised to see his first non-tag team match be VGCW #1 Contenders, but he’s got the ranking for it. Mr. Satan (#12) lost but didn’t get pinned in the Triple Threat with Air Man and Scorpion, and lost the Steel Cage match with Zangief, Kefka, and Segata. Uninspiring. Kefka (#13) has lost to Gabe and lost the Steel Cage match recounted above. Is Gabe is going to give him a Contenders shot? Uhh... Duke Nukem (#15) has beaten Donkey Kong, lost to Ganon in a --- Bowser vs AVGN isn't going to happen in this upcoming #1 Contenders match, but whenever they do finally clash, it will be the most hype match of all time. Two legends of VGCW who've never met in the ring. There isn't another matchup I'd rather see. Edited by SAShieldhill, Jan 16 2014, 11:36 PM.

To Each Future

Out of all potential contenders, Bowser and AVGN are the ones who deserve a spot the most. The hype would be at maximum levels if that happened. But if we were to go for the 6-Man Battle Royale, my choices would be; Bowser: Nothing needs to said, if there's ANYONE who deserves a shot, it's The King of Awesome. AVGN: Despite him being tied up as Co-Op Champion, it's always possible to be a double champ, it's happened before (even if it was brief). Ganondorf: I think it's been long enough, The Dark Lord deserves a chance to reclaim the belt, he's always been consistently strong bar Octodad. Little Mac: He may have just lost the belt, but Mac has shown he can still duck and weave very convincingly. Wario: He may be in a similar situation to AVGN, with WarioWare Inc. looking likely to be in contendership against The Saiyans, it may be too much for Mr. Money to handle. But he has been really strong in singles since his Supernormal makeover. Sonic: We all seem to be in agreement that Sonic has been very impressive since his return, minus GameCenter FU, he has remained undefeated in all competition, so I think he should be given a chance to impress. In the event that AVGN and Wario are out due to Co-Op commitment, I would like to propose some possible replacements: Mr. Satan: Despite being in no 1V1's since defeating The Mystical Ninja, Satan has proven his worth since 8-1, gaining wins over two former VGCW Champions and lasting until the end in his previous chance with The Mayor of Earth. While this is a completely different game, he is the most obvious choice besides a certain ninja.... Scorpion: Despite his momentum being dented by Snake, Scorps has been on fire ever since the greatest match in VGCW history happened, forcing a normal man to tap, and proving you can beat Air Man. He hasn't had a chance at the VGCW Championship since November 2012, and since he has seemingly overcome his choking, let him have a chance to wrestle with the big boys again. Either that, or it could just be a Fatal 4-Way. Edited by HereComesTheChief, Jan 8 2014, 04:23 PM.

I'd like to see Bowser vs. Little Mac, that's another top-tier match that hasn't happened yet. |

Ganon wins the belt, steals GM status along with it. Starts booking Tingle, Goemon, and Barkley every night. Heel status solidified.

We've gotten as much confirmation as any: the next official broadcast (after Star Road) will feature the #1 Contender's match! Jensen has assured Gabe that he won't end up with people like Gary, Tingle, Luigi, or Dan as opponents. He'll have to expect real quality performers to challenge him for the belt, such as the following: Bowser: Many expected the fight between him and the Nerd to be the #1 contender match, but the real match was yet to come. Bowser was a no-brainer for the contender's match before, and he's even more of one now that he's victorious. ![]() Ganondorf: The earth was not saved, and Ganon has brought a thousand years of darkness upon Mr. Satan. There's only one thing that may stand between him and the title shot, though: Duke Nukem. If the Duke insists upon taking revenge upon the Dark Lord at Endgame, it may once again thwart Ganon's ambition toward claiming his fourth belt. Little Mac: Though it's only been a season since Mac dropped his last title, he's still got the ranking and the victories needed to make a push toward reclaiming it. Kefka: With his recent victory over Wario, the mad clown is sure to catapult himself into the top ten of the power rankings. He has plenty of bones to pick with Gabe, and it would be interesting to see if he can claim the title. Plus, there's the potential comedy of seeing Kefka interview himself before the match. AVGN: Getting beaten by Bowser might only be a temporary setback for the Nerd. There's still a chance he could come back to avenge his loss in the contender's match. Sonic: As mentioned in my last prediction, Sonic could be a potential dark horse contender for the title shot. He's won his last few singles matches and looked pretty good in the process. Duke Nukem: Duke could also be a possible surprise contender, though his rise has been blunted by Ganon and THQuality. Maybe he'll push his way into the contender match to get back at the Dark Lord.

Whoof...Championship Contenders...Mmmh....Let me take a stab at the 4 I think are going to contend. Yes, I think it'll only be 4. - Kanto Kid came back big tonight. I think, even though he's been on a bit of a low-run lately, his latest win will put him on the card. - Absolutely no question about this. Bowser's been on a rip-roaring rampage, and deserves this shot. :Jensen: - Really? No augmented emoticon? Well, Jensen did win that three-way, and it would be in-character for him to throw himself in after chastising Gabe, and also to shoot for a chance to hold one over on his tag-team partner. - I really can't say who lucky #3 would be. There's so many candidates that have either underperformed just a bit, or who have plot involvement that makes them a tough sell for a championship contender. And, since it's a wild card, let's go with The Joker.
