#1 Contender Prediction Thread; Who will be the next opponent to go for the belt?

Can we just step off the tag belt and let a tag team come naturally?

We're getting contenders basically saying 'THEY HAVE MOMENTUM' off of one win. I know, by design, tag matches usually take longer than singles, but we definitely need time for someone to build momentum like Toejam and Earl had. THEN the Dragons can be hated after they beat a team that really proves themselves instead of this kind of 'well of course the birds lost' feeling that some have right now.

Maybe have the BLU Rogues and Fuckheads fight it out, and then have the winner fight Snake and Jensen for the contender's spot? Beating the Mavericks is a good start - they've historically been one of the stronger teams recently.

It seems like it's the new teams that have the most momentum to me at the moment.

We could have a tag team tourney. Dashing Rogues, Fuckheads, Salvation Ops, Bullies, Dads, Warioware, Sonic and Knuckles, and maybe a new team or two.

Or, better yet, a casual KotR! I don't think we've ever done one of those for casuals. Entrants could be Heavy, Segata, Kefka, Goemon, Sonic, Zangief, Layton, Dan, Ezio, Vegeta, Arino, and some others.

Flint & Barret are the only ones I can see in contention right now due to their recent wins over The Mavericks and the absolute beating they gave out to The Ninjas. They are also the only team that have a positive win record over The Dragons aside from The Saiyans so that's in their favour too.

No idea who would fight them though. The Saiyans and The Fuckheads just lost in thier contenders match so they might not get another shot so soon. BLU Rogues vs Toejam & Earl is next week and if the Rogues win I can see them being involved in a contenders.

I hope the Rogues win and get the contendership because that means we could have a 3v3 for the tag titles, and that's really exciting.

What about Haggar and Heavy? Where should they fit in the tag picture?

So the only teams in the line to fight The Dragons right now are....WarioWare, basically handing a defence to the The Dragons....or The Saiyans, and 1000 years of AHHHH ROLLUPS VEGETA!

Dammit. If only...If only we had a new, exciting team...

Comprised of a 5/5 star wrestler who's over with the crowd, and a weathered veteran with a new lease on life, who just won a MOTN...

If only we had a team like that to save us....

...to be our, "salvation", if you will...

...to be our, "Salvation Ops", if you will....

RUDE!

You don't know! Wario Ware could have gotten a lot better recently, they look great out there last show and before that they did admirably against the Saiyans.

Don't count the men who ended Gerudo Skies lightly is all I'm saying.

That's his name. (Sorry, I had to do that)

I don't want to sell Wario Ware short, but it will take a bit more than a victory over The Practice, or whatever they technically are now, to convince me that they're ready for a title shot. We probably have a ways to go before a contender needs to be decided though, and even if they don't get a shot at the next contendership, one down the line could be possible.

So, we have Goemon VS Barret in the next couple shows. If Goemon wins I could see him spring-boarding to a main event shot, and if he at least does well that could be worth a chance at the casual belt.

There's currently two midcard feuds going on right now. Sonic/Toad and Barret/Goemon. I can see the winners of those feuds facing each other for a casual shot later down the line. Right now Heavy is eyeballing a shot at the casual title and I can see him facing either Ezio and/or Flint for a shot.

The midcard is very lively and vibrant right now which is great!

Barret/Goemon feel like they really ought to be in the Main Belt consideration, not the casual belt. I'd say toss Ganon in there, but he got Caged fairly recently, so he can wait for a bit. Duke has got to be in consideration, too.

Casual scene... uh.. Ezio and Robotnik might be in consideration. Heavy wants to go for it.

What do you do with Flint, is what I want to know. He's put on some damn impressive, brutal murders lately, against Ebisumaru (basically) and Dante (indisputably). He's got himself at the top of both momentum rankings and power rankings. It feels like you almost have to give him a shot at the main belt, but has he really beaten anyone super good lately? Throw him at Cage or Guile or something, and if he can win, put him in the #1 contenders match.

EDIT
I know, I know. Booking by topics. But I mentioned Cage and Guile for a reason. TELL me those guys don't need to learn a thing or two. Also, we could get "Go home and be a family man." "MY FAMILY IS DEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD"

I remember Flint fought Guile back in Season 7 when Guile was TOP HEEL and got Amerislammed pretty damn hard.
But Flint's been rocking it pretty hard since then. A win on Dante's pretty big, and He might be strait up for a Contender's already with his now 4 win streak, but there's some doubters and a fight against one of those two would be good sealant.
And Guile can always use some heat from crushing a poor, nice man with a dead family.

Flint would've beaten Guile if it wasn't for being stuck with a Custom Finisher, he could totally beat him now.
