The Russians vs. Coming To America Comments: Russians ain´t dropping tag matches before facing Foundation Mike Sharpe vs. Ricky Steamboat Comments: Doh The Powers Of Pain vs. The Rockers Comments: With Hart Foundation stil lbeing champs at this point and Rockers seeminglt heading into break out, I guess I should expect heel team to go over here. Barry Hardy vs. The British Bulldog Comments: Squash Randy Savage and Sgt. Slaughter vs. The Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan Comments: I almost did go with Warrior and Hogan but changed it on the last minute, mainly because I wonder if there´s going to be another match betweeen the two and if so, then they would likely be set-up to win their current feuds and thus Savage and Slaughter should probably win here (even if Slaughter seems to be on his way out). Of course, there´s a lot of "if´s" on that prediction so I won´t be too surprised if I end up being wrong.

Power & Glory vs. Coming To America Comments: Going with more familar team here. Mike Sharpe vs. Animal Comments: Sharpe doesn´t win matches Non-Title Match Mr. Perfect vs. Bret Hart Comments: Assumings singles champion go over tag champ here. Stan Hansen vs. Sam Houston Comments: Houston just lost in B-show so don´t see him beating Hansen.

We have to wait and see if he will gets wins over anyone higher on the ladders.</em></p><p> </p><p> Paul Orndorff vs. <strong>Ricky Steamboat</strong></p><p> Comments: <em>Ricky is challenging for the belt so he´s more likely to go over here, either clean or via DQ.</em></p>

Slaughter and Earthquake vs. <strong>Hulk Hogan and Andre The Giant</strong></p><p> Comments: <em>Hogan just lost in PPV so logic says he wins here, because Hogan.</em></p>

The Russians, Stan Hansen and Rick Martel vs. The Hart Foundation, Jake Roberts and Sam Houston Comments: As for every match on this card, I could see this one going either way but I think that Russians need a win over Foundation and this is a way to get that without hurting Foundation. Winner Gets Virgil Special Guest Referee: Virgil The Millon Dollar Man vs. Roddy Piper Comments: Normally I would go with Ted but I assume that this angle was here to seperate Virgil and Ted and Ted winning would mean that status quo would stay the same than it was at the start. Power and Glory and The Warlord vs. The Rockers and The British Bulldog Comments: Thinking that Power and Glory would need a win a bit more than Rockers. WWF Heavyweight Title Match Special Enforcer: Andre The Giant The Ultimate Warrior defends vs. Sgt. Slaughter Comments: Warrior has a date with Savage so no title change here. Loser Of The Fall Is Fired From WWF The Heenan Family (Mr. Perfect, The Barbarian and ???) vs. Ricky Steamboat, Big Bossman and Tito Santana Who Loses The Fall: Tito Santana Comments: I could see either Barbarian, Bossman or Santana leaving depending what your plans are for those three but I goi with Santana being the one who gets cut. Eddie Gilbert vs. Wahoo McDaniel Comments: This feels like it should be Gilbert´s win but he caused problems backstage (wrestled as drunk and was on drugs as well) so I wonder if that affected his push at least momentarily. Randy Savage vs. Hulk Hogan Comments: Normally I would go with Hogan, because Hogan. But on this case, Randy is set to face Warrior for the main belt so I´d assume he stays strong here although I doubt it will be a clean win.

<p><strong>Power and Glory and The Warlord</strong> vs. Al Burke, Brian Costello and Jim Powers</p><p> Comments: <em>They have more going on</em></p><p> </p><p> Brooklyn Brawler and Mike Sharpe vs. <strong>The American Express</strong></p><p> Comments: <em>Named team over random pairing.</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Ivan Koloff</strong> vs. Bret Hart</p><p> Comments: <em>I could this see this going either way depending which team is planned to win the title match and if their partners will go against each other´s in next show. But while I think Bret is more likely to win, I could see Ivan going over and feel that it would be pretty strong signal on Russians being a real threat to Foundation if that happens so I go with Ivan this time.</em></p><p> </p><p> #1 Contender Versus #1 Contender</p><p> <strong>Randy Savage</strong> vs. Ricky Steamboat</p><p> Comments: <em>Savage just won the Rumble so I don´t see him losing steam here plus Steamboat´s future opponent is more likely to interfere here than Savage´s and I´d assume that´s how it ends in order to keep Steamboat looking strong in defeat.</em></p>

<p><strong>The Undertaker</strong> vs. Shane Douglas</p><p> Comments: <em>Probably the most obvious match on the card.</em></p><p> </p><p> Mike Sharpe vs. <strong>Wahoo McDaniel</strong></p><p> Comments: <em>Interesting to see what Wahoo can do in WWF but he´s certainly going over here.</em></p><p> </p><p> 10 Tag Team Battle Royal</p><p> Winners Receive A WWF World Tag Team Title Shot At WrestleMania VII</p><p> <strong>The Russians</strong> vs. The Nasty Boys vs. Power and Glory vs. Earthquake and Dino Bravo vs. Haku and The Barbarian vs. Demolition vs. The Rockers vs. The Bushwhackers vs. ??? vs. ???</p><p> Comments: <em>Lots of potential winners here but Russians seem to be in a program with Hard Fountation already so I´d assume this is how they earn their title shot.</em></p><p> </p><p> Brooklyn Brawler vs. <strong>The British Bulldog</strong></p><p> Comments: <em>Brawler ain´t here to win matches.</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Stan Hansen</strong> vs. Koko B.

<p><strong>Buddy Landel</strong> vs. Brian Costello</p><p> Comments: <em>Landel might not be the Nature Boy everyone expected to see but surely he gets past Costello.</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Eddie Gilbert </strong>vs. Koko B. Ware</p><p> Comments: <em>I could see this one going either way but going to follow the majority and go with Gilbert.</em></p><p> </p><p> Bob Bradley vs. <strong>Ricky Steamboat</strong></p><p> Comments: <em>No question on this one.</em></p><p> </p><p> Power & Glory vs. <strong>The Rockers</strong></p><p> Comments: <em>Bit of a coin flip to me.</em></p><p> </p><p> Barry Hardy vs. <strong>Jake Roberts</strong></p><p> Comments: <em>Squash</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Demolition</strong> vs. The Bushwhackers</p><p> Comments: <em>Demolition picks up a win here.</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Randy Savage</strong> vs. Bret Hart</p><p> Comments: <em>Bret isn´t quite there yet to beat names like Savage.</em></p>

Steel Cage Match (Win By Pinfall, Submission Or Escaping The Cage) If Rick Martel Loses, He Is Out Of The Royal Rumble Rick Martel vs. Jake Roberts Comments: I´d assume Martel loses here mainly because of the stipulation is in place. WWF World Tag Team Titles Match The Hart Foundation defend vs. The Orient Express Comments: I don´t see Orient Express being the ones who beat Hart Foundation. WWF Intercontinental Title Match Mr. Perfect defends vs. Big Bossman Comments: Going to go with Perfect retaining here. Losers Leave The WWF Match The Million Dollar Man and The Undertaker vs. Dusty Rhodes and Dustin Rhodes Comments: I don´t see MDM and Undertaker being kicked off from WWF. WWF Heavyweight Title Match The Ultimate Warrior defends vs. Sgt. Slaughter Comments: I could see Slaughter getting a win here in case you would want to get the belt off from Ultimate Warrior but Slaughter´s current gimmick would make it a bit of a hard sell in America so doubt title change would happen here. Royal Rumble Match Winner Earns A WWF Heavyweight Title Match At WrestleMania VII Big John Studd, Dino Bravo, Earthquake, Haku, Ivan Koloff, Mr. Perfect, Nikita Koloff, Randy Savage, (Rick Martel?), The Barbarian, (The Million Dollar Man?), The Nature Boy, (The Undertaker?), The Warlord, ???, Big Bossman, (Dusty Rhodes?), (Dustin Rhodes?), Greg Valentine, Hulk Hogan, Jake Roberts, Jim Duggan, Jimmy Snuka, Ricky Steamboat, Saba Simba, The British Bulldog, Tito Santana, Tugboat, Wahoo McDaniel, ???, ???, ??? Comments: Lots of potential winners here (including potential surprises) but Hogan is Hogan so he feels like the safest pick espesially since he and Warrior already had a tense moment in the latest show.

<p><strong>The Nasty Boys</strong> vs. The Bushwhackers</p><p> Comments: <em>Bushwhackers take another loss here.</em></p><p> </p><p> Mike Sharpe vs. <strong>Saba Simba</strong></p><p> Comments: <em>Sharpe don´t win matches.</em></p><p> </p><p><strong> Sgt. Slaughter</strong> vs. Jim Duggan</p><p> Comments: <em>Slaughter is having way more going on.</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Haku and The Barbarian</strong> vs. Jim Powers and Shane Douglas</p><p> Comments: <em>Not much question here either</em></p><p> </p><p> Brooklyn Brawler vs. <strong>Greg Valentine</strong></p><p> Comments: <em>Valentine builds some momentum.</em></p><p> </p><p> The Million Dollar Man and The Undertaker vs. Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior</p><p> Comments: <em>I don´t see Hogan and Warrior loosing and feel that heels shouldn´t lose here either so I go with draw.</em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Thoughts On Formatting Question: <em>I think you should go with option that suite yourself the best and personally I´m fine with shorter write-ups. </em></p>

<p>Mike Sharpe vs. <strong>Big Bossman</strong></p><p> Comments: <em>Squash</em></p><p> </p><p><strong> Earthquake and Dino Bravo</strong> vs. Shane Douglas and Al Burke</p><p> Comments: <em>Earthquake just faced Hogan little time ago so pretty sure him and Bravo should be way above Douglas and Burke.</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Orient Express</strong> vs. The Bushwhackers</p><p> Comments: <em>Express just challenged Hart Foundation so they better be able to beat a team that lost in B show in under 4 minutes.</em></p><p> </p><p> Over The Top Rope Challenge Match</p><p> Winner Chooses Between 25-30 In The Royal Rumble</p><p> <strong>The Warlord</strong> vs. The British Bulldog</p><p> Comments: <em>At least to me, this is pretty much a coin flip and depends on which way you want to progress this story. I´d figure Warlord wins here only to be eliminated in Royal Rumble by Bulldog despite Bulldog being in the ring for longer time.</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Rick Martel</strong> vs. Sam Houston</p><p> Comments: <em>Houston is getting a push but beating Martel straight in 1 vs. 1 match is surely out from the cards for time being.</em></p><p> </p><p> Brooklyn Brawler vs. <strong><strong>Jimmy Snuka</strong></strong></p><p> Comments: <em>Brawler does what he seems to be best, and that´s losing</em></p><p> </p><p> WWF Intercontinental Title Match</p><p> <strong>Mr. Perfect</strong> defends vs. Greg Valentine</p><p> Comments: <em>With title match already being hyped on Royal Rumble, I don´t see a change happening here.</em></p>

Non-Title Match Barry Hardy and Bob Bradley vs. The Hart Foundation Comments: The Undertaker vs. Shane Douglas Comments: Mike Sharpe vs. The British Bulldog Comments: These first three look like squash matches to me. Power & Glory vs. The Rockers Comments: And here´s were my inexperience starts to show, I go with Rockers here but it´s more of a guess than anything else since I have no idea were these two teams standed at this point of time. Sgt. Slaughter vs. Nikolai Volkoff Comments: Slaughter had promo time on last show and that would suggest that he has more going on so picking him based on that. The Million Dollar Man vs. Tito Santana Comments: Normally I would go with DiBiase but I wonder if that Virgil storyline is going to affect this one.

<p><strong>Francis Burke</strong> v ???</p><p> <em>Hard to go against mystery guy but I feel that Burke could use a win or two now that he turned heel in order to establish him as bit more of a threat since he´s been booked fairly weak so far (not only loosing a lot but also descriped as the weak link of his team during the tag tournament).</em></p><p> </p><p> The Australian Party People (Marcus Kerr & Matt Stoppard) & Fuzzy Freeman v <strong>Sturt's Three Henchmen (Henchman #1, Henchman #2 & Henchman #3)</strong></p><p> <em>Establishing new group here by having the henchman squad getting a win over more established talent.</em></p><p> </p><p> YEPW Tag Team Titles</p><p> <strong>Sturt & HoBoo</strong> v Dick & Morty (Felix Harding & Mortimer Pyle)</p><p> <em>Too early for a title change.</em></p><p> </p><p> 4 Way Elimination match to become number 1 contender for the YEPW Australian Title</p><p> <strong>Australian Devil</strong> v Lone Rider v Quick Silver v ???</p><p> <em>All three of these guys seem to be in the contention so anyone could win here.

<p>Non-Title Match</p><p> <strong>Mr. Perfect</strong> vs. Brian Costello</p><p> Comments: <em>I´m not particularly familiar on this era so I´m sure I screw predictions sooner or later but pretty sure this is a squash match</em></p><p> </p><p> Brooklyn Brawler vs.<strong> The Texas Tornado</strong></p><p> Comments: <em>Tornado gains some momentum</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>The Warlord</strong> vs. Al Burke</p><p> Comments: <em>Warlord is a guy I have heart about, Burke´s name does ring some bell too but I can´t recall anything about him so I figure he´s jobber.</em></p><p> </p><p> Haku and The Barbarian vs. <strong>The Legion of Doom</strong></p><p> Comments: <em>So this is certainly a closer match but I just have to go with Legion.</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Rick Martel</strong> vs. Sam Houston</p><p> Comments: <em>Again, going with the guy who I know better.</em></p><p> </p><p> Barry Hardy and Bob Bradley vs. <strong>The Rockers</strong></p><p> Comments: <em>Named team over random pairing</em></p><p> </p><p> Earthquake vs. <strong>Hulk Hogan</strong></p><p> Comments: <em>Hogan doesn´t lose a whole lot, right?</em></p>

<p>Favourite Character and Why?</p><p> <em><strong>Jester</strong></em><em>, I just love dark stables and Jester is just the right type for me, being slighly mysterious and occasionally doing unexpected things that keep you guessing what he´s up to.</em></p><p> </p><p> Least Favourite Character and Why?</p><p> <em>I don´t really hate anyone but if one had to be picked I´d say </em><em><strong>HoBoo</strong></em><em>, simply because I´m not fan of "wacky" gimmicks and I feel that Boo´s current gimmick hinders him more than helps. That said, it does help to keep the focus more on Sturt and with him being the "leader" of their team, I see that as a good thing so the gimmick is kind of doing it´s work there in my eyes.</em></p><p> </p><p> Who do you want to see more of and why?</p><p> <em><strong>Soul Collectors</strong></em><em>, did I mention that I like dark groups?</em></p><p> </p><p> Is there anybody on the roster you never cared for but now you do because of the diary?</p><p> <em>I wouldn´t say never cared as I do tent to like most masked guys by default but </em><em><strong>Quick Silver</strong></em><em> is someone you managed to build up so well that I would pick him to win more matches than I´d normally would and who I caring more than I would had before reading this.</em></p><p> </p><p> Who was your favourite team in the LOTT and why?</p><p> <em><strong>Soul Collectors</strong></em><em> again, you nicely did keep them dominant as the main heel group should be but still managed to keep them from winning the whole thing so well played there plus them just dropping the tournament does play well on the fact that they have their own agenda and can be slighly unpredictable at times.</em></p><p> </p><p> Who was the MVP for the year and why?</p><p> <em>I value good in-ring performance so </em><em><strong>Monday Next</strong></em><em> followed closely by </em><em><strong>Hoboo</strong></em></p><p> </p><p> Storyline of the year?</p><p> <em>Pretty much has to be </em><em><strong>Trey Tallman</strong></em><em> even if him being banished so quicky after coming back slighly decreased the pay-off in my eyes.</em></p><p> </p><p> Best Signing of the Diary?</p><p> <em><strong>Monday Next</strong></em><em>, simply because I personally always want few guys I know I can put into ring and get good ratings and unlike Boo, his decent as the mic as well.</em></p><p> </p><p> How would you feel about another Tournament, but this time for a midcard singles belt? (It wouldn't be until at least season 4 or 5 but give me your thought anyway)</p><p> <em>I do love tournaments so I´d be fine with another one.</em></p>

<p>League of Tag Teams Match</p><p> Music Mash (DJ Panther & Lerone Slim) v <strong>The Soul Collectors (Bile & Eraser)</strong></p><p> <em>I wonder if you plan to use same DQ trick you used last time when Soul Collectors were needed elsewhere on the card as I assume they are going to be the ones who take Australian Devil and Lone Rider. That said, with every tag team fighting twice anyway and this being the first match, I figured that Collectors will fight here and that´s not good news for Music Mash</em></p><p> </p><p> League of Tag Teams Match</p><p> <strong>Dick & Morty (Mortimer Pyle & Felix Harding)</strong> v D'n'B (D-Pod & Francis Burke)</p><p> <em>Even win from here wouldn´t keep Dick & Morty in the contendion if Sturt & HoBoo don´t staight up lose their next tournament match but I noticed that Sturt & Hoboo have back to back matches at the end so might as well keep Dick & Morty in the contention by giving them a win here which would also put D´n´B on the potential loser spot alongside Music Mash.</em></p><p> </p><p> League of Tag Teams Match</p><p> Forces of Dude (Fuzzy Freeman & Jesse Tasman) v <strong>The Australian Party People (Marcus Kerr & Matt Stoppard)</strong></p><p> <em>Keeping the one team with actual tag experience strong feels like the way to go here and win here would erase any fear of them being in the last place (since I´m not sure how things would go if multiple teams end up at the same point total on either top or bottom and that´s still a possibility on 6 points if D´n´B and Music Mash both win their last match).</em></p><p> </p><p> League of Tag Teams Match</p><p> <strong>D'n'B (D-Pod & Francis Burke)</strong> v The Entourage (Blake Bushwell & Lothario)</p><p> <em>I still go with D´n´B over Entourage here to give somekind of closure to Burke vs. Entourage storyline back on the first season and also to keep D´n´B as potential team in the future as I feel that they have slighly more going on than some of the other teams.</em></p><p> </p><p> League of Tag Teams Match</p><p> <strong>Dick & Morty (Mortimer Pyle & Felix Harding)</strong> v Music Mash (DJ Panther & Lerone Slim)</p><p> <em>Another win here will put Dick & Morty on top seat with 15 points while Collectors have 14 and Sturt & HoBoo would have 12 at this point but with two matches to go.

That said, I don´t see them losing this one.</em></p><p> </p><p> League of Tag Teams Match</p><p> The Australian Party People (Marcus Kerr & Matt Stoppard) v <strong>The Entourage (Blake Bushwell & Lothario)</strong></p><p> <em>Now this is the hardest one to me, mainly because I would normally go with Party People (I do like established teams with tag experience over newly formed ones and while Entourage have been together for a while now, I still rate them more as a new team).That said, I do still believe D´n´B losing all their matches so far having some meaning and given their history, Entourage is the most likely team to be involved into whatever the end goal of that is so I have them win here mostly to keep the D´n´B cost them the tournament win idea alive.</em></p><p> </p><p> League of Tag Teams Match</p><p> D'n'B (D-Pod & Francis Burke) v <strong>The Soul Collectors (Bile & Eraser)</strong></p><p> <em>One team continues their winning ways and the other one continue their losing ways.</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Gregory Grace</strong> v ???</p><p> <em>I don´t usually pick against mystery guys (says he while doing it twice on this card </em><img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/redface.png.900245280682ef18c5d82399a93c5827.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><em>) but Grace is pretty popular in Australia (something I failed to consider when picking Quick Silver over him few shows ago) so the mystery man would either need to be quite big name to go over or someone who you seriously want to build up and don´t mind sacrifising some of Grace´s popularity to do so. Now one or the other could happen but I still view Grace as the safe pick here so I go with him.</em></p>

<p>League of Tag Teams Match</p><p> <strong>Forces of Dude (Fuzzy Freeman & Jesse Tasman)</strong> v Music Mash (DJ Panther & Lerone Slim)</p><p> <em>Slim somehow managed to have F as his match grade (though he had E month before so maybe there´s some reason to that?) and that doesn´t promise particularly good things for him. Dudes on the other hand, got a win last month as I´d assume they get a second one here over team that I owuld currently classify as jobbers.</em></p><p> </p><p> League of Tag Teams Match</p><p> <strong>The Entourage (Blake Bushwell & Lothario)</strong> v Sturt & HoBoo (Vance Sturt & HoBoo)</p><p> <em>I actually changed my mind twice here, first going with Sturt & HoBoo (better talent), then picking draw instead (top two teams on points so draw would keep other teams closer to top spot) before finally settling into Entourage winning mainly because I already picked draw on the main event. And no, I don´t think that they will win purely on merit but I could see them winning by DQ just like last time as Sturt have employed Party People as run-ins and that´s likely going to backfire at some point.</em></p><p> </p><p> League of Tag Teams Match</p><p> D'n'B (D-Pod & Francis Burke) v <strong>The Australian Party People (Marcus Kerr & Matt Stoppard)</strong></p><p> <em>Ok, so looks like I rated D´n´B slighly too high last round, after that angle and match last month, I could actually see them losing to everyone else (and being last in the tournament), only to beat Entourage in the last round and cost them the tournament victory in the progress.</em></p><p> </p><p> League of Tag Teams Match</p><p> Dick & Morty (Mortimer Pyle & Felix Harding) v <strong>The Soul Collectors (Bile & Eraser)</strong></p><p> <em>Collectors don´t have another match this month so I´m still picking them even if that DQ loss makes me question my earlier opinion on them being the most likely winners on this tournament.</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Black Flash</strong> v Quick Silver</p><p> <em>Wasp will likely play some factor here, whatever it´s by turning heel and attacking Silver or being used as distraction (video screen suddenly showing him in somekind of danger or something) or by managing to escape on his own and distracting Flash instead. I think one of the first two is more likely so I go with Flash winning here.</em></p><p> </p><p> No.1 Contender for YEPW Australian Title</p><p> Australian Devil v Jackson Slade</p><p> <em>I agree on HiPlus on this one plus setting this as no-contest (with Soul Collectors attacking both) allows an easy three way option between these two and Jester and that would play well with the new revelation about Devil´s past with no-one knowing for sure which side he is in.</em></p>

<p>Great diary so far, loving to see guys like Jester, Quick Silver and Australian Devil as some of the top guys.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> League of Tag Teams Match</p><p> <strong>D'n'B (D-Pod & Francis Burke)</strong> v Forces of Dude (Fuzzy Freeman & Jesse Tasman)</p><p> <em>Forces of Dude is still pretty new in YEPW so obviously evaluating were they stand is terms of roster spots is bit unclear (losing to Soul Collectors doesn´t really tell much as they are the main heel group at the moment and likely expected to go over anyone who isn´t main player). That said, D-Pod has been pretty strong so far and at this point, that´s enough for me to pick D´n´B over Dudes.</em></p><p> </p><p> League of Tag Teams Match</p><p> Music Mash (DJ Panther & Lerone Slim) v <strong>The Australian Party People (Marcus Kerr & Matt Stoppard)</strong></p><p> <em>Well, it´s two new teams who both lost on their first match so not much to go for yet. That said, pretty sure Music Mash ain´t default team so Party People should have tag experience advantage and thus I go with them. Also they have a bit more story going on with their association with Sturt.</em></p><p> </p><p> League of Tag Teams Match</p><p> The Entourage (Blake Bushwell & Lothario) v <strong>The Soul Collectors (Bile & Eraser)</strong></p><p> <em>Entourage is too busy looking into mirror to win this one.</em></p><p> </p><p> League of Tag Teams Match</p><p> Dick & Morty (Mortimer Pyle & Felix Harding) v <strong>Sturt & HoBoo (Vance Sturt & HoBoo)</strong></p><p> <em>While Boo certainly gives hanticap with his gimmick, he´s still too talented in-ring for me not to pick him against most opponents.</em></p><p> </p><p> Gregory Grace v <strong>Quick Silver</strong></p><p> <em>Could see either one winning here but Silver has been more on the spotlight so far while Grace has been seen mainly in comedy angles so I go with Silver with this one.</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Australian Devil, Jackson Slade & Lone Rider</strong> v Jester, ??? & ???</p><p> <em>Hoping Horror Show are the mystery guys but regardless who they are, I think this is one of those "challengers need to look strong here since they aren´t going to beat champ in 1-vs-1 match" type of deals.</em></p>

This guy has a cool name and all but he might have had one too many hits on the head. Either that or that head booker´s job is bit busier than he would like. http://i1374.photobucket.com/albums/ag421/zergon_81/Death%20frustrated_zps9zv8mknh.jpg http://i1374.photobucket.com/albums/ag421/zergon_81/Death%20frustrated2_zpsxktizzci.jpg

I´m going to say views. Replies are nice and might help motivate the writer (or at least it helps for me) but those aren´t always the best way to measure success. For example, diaries that won´t have prediction contest will likely have less replies than one that do but could still be more popular/succesful one.
