<p>Nice start. TCW is one of my favorites companies in C-Verse but I haven´t really looked them yet on TEW2020 so looking forward to see how this one goes and learning a bit more about how they work this time around.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Darryl Devine vs <strong>Eddie Chandler</strong></p><p> <em>I have no idea on potential starting storylines so just have to go with what roster page tells me and it tells that Chandler is better known and belongs to stable so I pick him based on that.</em></p><p> </p><p> Dazzling Dave Diamond and Danny Fonzarelli vs <strong>The Hybrid Two</strong></p><p> <em>Named team over random pairing</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Bart Biggins</strong> vs T-Bone Bright vs Marc Speed (winner will get a shot at the TV title)</p><p> <em>Guessing Biggins is the biggest name here... man that feels odd to say, I´m so used of them being jobbers in SWF that I have hard time giving Bart the credit that he deserves.</em></p><p> </p><p> Tana The Mighty vs <strong>Titan</strong></p><p> <em>Tana is higher on pecking order but since he is feuding with Sinners (at least I assume so based on the first show) not, Titan and Shark, I go with Sinners interfering and causing Tana to lose here.</em></p><p> </p><p> Edd Stone vs <strong>Joshua Taylor</strong></p><p> <em>Taylor is more popular at the moment so picking him here.</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Aaron Andrews </strong>vs Doc Hammond</p><p> <em>Ok, so finally a match were I´m fairly certain on my pick, Aaron is the top face so he´s not losing this one.</em></p>

Zippy Deverell & ??? v Cip Conduit & ??? This one depends on partners but I currently rate Cip higher than Zippy so I go with him Greg Reign v Ben Williams Reign looks like clear top face for you so I don´t see him losing much Charlie Corner & Leftie Wilkes v Gio Peltoni & Romeo Romaro Thinking Peltoni and Romaro can´t co-exist here well enough to get a win Jay Silver v Remmington Huniet Much like Reign, Huniet looks like your top heel so same applies, I don´t see him losing much

GLW Great Lakes Finals Raphael vs. Rayne Man I could see either one getting the title here but to me, the deciding factor is how many good face/heel contenders I see on your roster. Acid and Connor are good options as challengers (and potential next champs depending who wins the belt here) but it´s Art Reed that makes me pick Raphael as he adds another great face challenger to the mix. Now, Steadyfast, Wayne and Coleman are all ok challengers as well (going to skip the obvious question about if these guys are staying or not for now) but I don´t see any of them getting the belt while I could see Reed, Acid or Conner getting the belt so that makes face side slightly stronger in my option and this heel champion makes slightly more sense to me. Singles Match Devil's Daughter vs. Suzanne Brazzle As said, I except Brazzle to win and Daughter winning the tag match didn´t change my opinion Tag Team Match Acid & Acid II vs. The Fighting Irish (Conner Threepwood & Crockett Tubbs) Acid is one of my (many) favorite wrestlers so I do play favorites with this pick Singles Match Art Reed vs. James Diaz Doubtful that Diaz would be on the level to go over Reed, though I could see it happening is Reed was only on three shows deal and you don´t plan to bring him back. Singles Match Jana Marie Bowen vs. Olivia Diamond Diamond won the three way so I figure Bowen takes the win back here. Tag Team Match Black Diamond & Elle May Watson vs. Joy Ryder & Sabrina Wells Wells did have two matches with Brazzle so I assume you have plans for her. 10-man Battle Royale Blue Dragon, Bob Casey, Dreadnaught, Gareth Rayne, Nathan Coleman, Original Sinner, Paul Steadyfast, Pepper Pelton, Too Hot, & The Masked Mauler VII Knowing that Paul was on three shows deal was enough to make me hesitate but I suspect that Wayne and Coleman could be in with same terms and I don´t see anyone else winning here (as long as one of those three would stay, if they are all leaving then it is anyone´s ball game) so I go with Paul as he have looked like most solid performer out from those three.

<p><strong>Jay Silver</strong> w/ Allison Addison Vs. Jerry Pepper w/ Mya Catalan</p><p> <em>Bit of a coin flip for me so I just go with who I like better.</em></p><p> </p><p> Jules Night Vs. <strong>Wild Red Stallion</strong></p><p> <em>Stallion have won a match so far while Night have two losses so guess I go with Stallion on this one</em></p><p> </p><p> Sgt. Bubba Lee West Vs. Texas Hangman</p><p> <em>I don´t see Keith telling either one of these two to lose so guess we have a draw here?</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Tsuki Kawamata</strong> Vs. Candy Floss (Title Vs. Career Bout)</p><p> <em>Umm, no idea here, feels early for Tsuki to drop the belt but this is Candy´s first match so bit early to have a career match as well... guessing there´s background story here that Candy got pissed and wanted out or something similar... Well either that or Keith thinks this is genius idea not realizing that bit of build up would be required first... actually, it´s just that isn´t it? </em><img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p><strong> Prime Time Dread</strong> Vs. The Winning Team</p><p> <em>Winning Team lost to random pairing last time so probably not going to win against Dreadnought either.</em></p>

Leftie Wilkes v Ben Williams Wilkes is someone who I´m not sure yet how high on the ladder he is in terms of push. He have produced some of the best in-ring ratings outside of Huniet and Reign but that loss to Peltoni plus lack of storyline made me question a bit if he is as high as I thought he would be. Williams does seem to have storyline going and that makes me doubt my pick here a bit but I go with Wilkes based on his in-ring ratings. Charlie Corner v Cip Conduit Cip is somewhat on the same boat than Wilkes for me, as I´m not yet sure were he places in terms of push. Same goes with Corner actually as he seems to be more important than what I initially thought based on his current in-ring ratings. Still, I tend to go towards performance myself and Conduit have performed better so far so I still base my pick on that. Chip & Silver (Chip Martin & Jay Silver) v The Wow Factor (James Jolson & Todd Havers) I could see either side winning this one but Wow Factor are slightly bigger names in my eyes so I go with them at the moment. Zippy Deverell v Elijah This is the only match on this card were I feel somewhat confident on my pick, Elijah seems to have more going on and I doubt Peter would let Zippy get a win after that after show segment.

GLW Great Lakes Title Semi-Finals Conner Threepwood vs. Raphael GLW Great Lakes Title Semi-Finals Acid vs. Rayne Man Grouping these two matches together here since outcome of the first will affect the second. I could see anyone from these four being your first champ and could see any of them getting into finals as well. That said, I´m picking Acid as my current favorite to win this one, mainly because he´s the oldest and thus has less time at top than other three so figuring he should be first before his skills starts to fall off. Also, what you said about perhaps giving title run to Reed if you knew how good he still is could easily go to Acid as well. And since I pick Acid to advance, I need face to win the other match. Tag Team Match Devil's Daughter & Elle May Watson vs. Sabrina Wells & Suzanne Brazzle This is all about Daughter vs. Brazzle and I since you already said they would face 1 vs. 1 next show, I would expect the one who loses there winning here and I´m currently assuming Brazzle would be the one winning the 1 vs. 1 so Devil wins here. Singles Match Art Reed vs. Gareth Wayne His good performance in the first show likely gives him a win here. 8-Man Tag Match Bob Casey, Nathan Coleman, Pepper Pelton, & Too Hot vs. Dreadnaught, Original Sinner, Paul Steadyfast & The Masked Mauler VII Bit of a coin flip but since I now know for sure Paul is only on three shows deal, I go with faces here. Now, this might be bad way to think this one since Coleman is the main guy on face side and he could very well be on three shot deal as well and if he is, then heel side looks slightly stronger with Mauler performing as well as he did in first show. That said, there´s no point to second guess on contract lengths so I´m working this one the assumption that everyone else is on longer term deals. Triple Threat Showcase Jana Marie Bowen vs. Joy Ryder vs. Olivia Diamond Bit of a coin flip here (and I´m tool lazy to check their stats in-game right now ) so I´m going with Bowen purely because her name rings more bells than the other two. Singles Match Blue Dragon vs. James Diaz This is another "going with more familiar name because I´m too lazy to actually check stats in game" pick.

While that indeed makes me doubt bit more I still expect Espiritu to beat Boone right now as Espiritu vs. Loiselle for the belt would be good enough match even if they are both faces. That said, I do expect Boone to be the likely next champ, I just don´t expect him to win the belt on their first encounter.

Greg Rayne v Elijah No idea who Elijah is since I don´t find him on database with that name but regardless, Rayne so far looks like your main star so I doubt he´s losing this one unless Huniet decides to interfere and Elijah is actually big enough name to go over Greg even with help. Jack Pride v Cip Conduit Pryde (or Pride) is someone who I haven´t figured out yet as he has gotten some promo time and seems to have storyline going which would indicate that he´s getting a push but on the other hand have two losses (although both on guys who I would expect to beat him) which suggest that he´s not that high up on ladder. Cip feels slightly more winnable than the earlier two but I still feel he´s bit too much for Pryde right now so I go with Pryde losing after refusing to cheat. Chip Martin v Jerry Pepper Chip has better star quality but Pepper looks slightly better to me otherwise and has tag team going so I go with Pepper here.

Same GLW Great Lakes Title Quarterfinals Acid vs. Art Reed This would be a hard pick for me but the fact that Reed is occasional wrestler these days guides me to pick Acid here. GLW Great Lakes Title Quarterfinals Gareth Wayne vs. Rayne Man Rayne Man is much younger, has about the same popularity and looks better stat wise so I would assume he goes over here unless face/heel divide or something else demands otherwise. GLW Great Lakes Title Quarterfinals Conner Threepwood vs. Paul Steadyfast I was ready to go with Threepwood here for same reasoning than with Rayne Man vs. Gareth Wayne but after looking their stats bit closer Steadyfast actually does seem to be at least equal to Conner on skills and has more popularity so I actually switch my pick to Paul here despite the age difference being on Conner´s favor. That said, I could see this one going either way depending on face/heel divide, if Paul is on time decline etc. GLW Great Lakes Title Quarterfinals Nathan Coleman vs. Raphael Another one that was bit closer than I first expected but while I could see either one advancing stat wise, Raphael is simply younger and has equal popularity so in the vacuum, I would have to go with him so that´s my pick as I don´t have any knowledge on other booking plans that could potentially affect the situation here. Singles Match Sabrina Wells vs. Suzanne Brazzle Brazzle vs. Devil's Daughter is what you said you are building towards so I doubt either one of them would drop matches elsewhere. Tag Team Match Casey & Pelton vs. Dreadnaught & Original Sinner Two young, big, 2nd generation monster heels sounds like more upside to me than team involving Casey. Trios Match Black Diamond, Devil's Daughter, & Elle May Watson vs. Jana Marie Bowen, Olivia Diamond, & Joy Ryder As said with Brazzle, I don´t see her or Daughter to drop matches elsewhere so Devil´s Daughter´s presence is enough for heels to win here in my eyes. 4-Way Showcase Blue Dragon vs. James Diaz vs. The Masked Mauler VII vs. Too Hot None of them don´t have much popularity so despite spending most of the tournament matches saying that younger guys should go over, I´m actually picking the veteran here. Doesn´t make sense? Do you really expect me to make sense? . On more serious note, the difference is that in the tournament the younger guys were bit over 30 years old and on their prime while these guys are just rookies and I do believe on rookies needing to "learning the ropes by jobbing" first before getting a push hence me picking veteran here. That said, I wouldn´t be to surprised if one of the younger guys would take the win as it would make sense here if you don´t have any plans for Too Hot.

Just wanted to jump in and say you have a great diary going here. I´m unfamiliar with pretty much everyone in this roster so will be interesting to learn about them and what I can expect from them if I ever get a chance to book some of them myself.

The Winning Team [brady Prince & Jason Patterson] Vs. Jerry Pepper & Mercutio Sleep w/ Mya Catalan Named team over random pairing Sgt. Bubba Lee West Vs. Jules Night This seems to be non-title match so I go with Night getting win in order to challenge Bubba later with the title on the line. Prime Time Dread [Dreadnought w/ Prime Time Jack Pryde] Vs. Wild Red Stallion Both guys got convincing wins in last show so bit of a coin flip on who you plan to push harder, that said, Dreadnought has Pryde on his corner and I figure that distraction from Pryde could be the deciding factor. Tsuki Kawamata Vs. Golden Delicious [VCW Women's Title Match] I don´t really ever see belt being dropped on first defense so champ retains. Texas Hangman Vs. Jay Silver w/ Allison Addison [VCW Intercontinental Title Match] Same here, plus Hangman is feuding Keith so I don´t see him losing much to anyone right now.

El Espiritu & Young Guns vs. Joe Boone, Levi Andrews & Friedrich Herzog I´m thinking Espiritu will beat Boone when the title is on line and that´s why I give Boone this one in order to give him win over champ to keep him strong. SPW Mid South Title Match- Nathan Hayes vs. Dustin David Hayes ain´t dropping the belt this quickly. Women's Title Tournament Semi-Final- Melinda Bell vs. Consuelo Montero Women's Title Tournament Semi Final- Diamanta vs. Ryo Matsuda Well, you said that Bell would be the default main face thanks to her being the only American so I made my picks with the idea that she would likely get at least into finals of this tournament is she is meant to be the top face and naturally that means that heel should advance in the other match Night Fever vs. The Kuroki Boys Fever is higher on the pecking order. Spike Morgan vs. Carl Hackney Rookies usually don´t win much but Morgan had most eliminations in the battle royal so I´d assume you plan to build him up from the beginning and Hackney have been low enough on pecking order that I could see you putting newcomer over him. Saita Kuroki & No Nonsense vs. Perry Bryant & Escuadron I´m thinking Bryant will win the blow off match between him and Kuroki so I go with Kuroki getting a win here in order to even things out. The Chivalry vs. Mike Lewis & The Puzzler Named team over random pairing

<p>Charlie Corner v <strong>Remmington Huniet</strong></p><p> <em>Both guys did get promo time in last show but Huniet is the one with much better match rating so I go with him, plus like said before, I do have a soft spot for Remmy and he´s currently my favorite wrestler in your roster.</em></p><p> </p><p> Jack Pryde v <strong>Todd Havers</strong></p><p> <em>Again, both had promo time on last one but I personally rate Todd as bigger name by default so I go with him here until I get more data.</em></p><p> </p><p> Jay Silver v <strong>Ben Williams</strong></p><p> <em>This is actually kind of tough one as Silver already looks better stat wise but Williams is more over. In the end, I go with more established guy for now but I won´t be surprised if I end up being wrong here</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Leftie Wilkes</strong> v Gio Peltoni</p><p> <em>Based on first show, Wilkes seems to be higher on pecking order</em></p><p> </p><p> Zippy Deverell v <strong>Romeo Romaro</strong></p><p> <em>Again, going with mores established guy here over rookie even id that angle with Romeo and Haley makes me think Romeo ain´t going to win a lot, at least not until that story runs it´s course.</em></p><p> </p><p> Chip Martin v <strong>Cip Conduit</strong></p><p> <em>Again, just picking more established guy here.</em></p>

Randall Hopkirk v ??? While I do agree that there would be more value on Hopkirk putting someone else over, I instead make my pick with the idea that the opponent here is in with just one and done deal and that the real catch is some announcement Hopkirk would make after being victorious. Greg Rayne (Rayne Man) v Cip Conduit To me, Rayne is the biggest name here after Hopkirk Jack Pride v Remmington Huniet (Remmy Honeyman) Have to go with Remmy here as I have had a soft spot for him ever since he did well in one of my diaries. Charlie Corner v Gio Peltoni (Pepper Pelton) Don´t really know much about either guy but after a qucik look, I see bit more on Peltoni so I go with him. Leftie Wilkes v Romeo Romaro Bit of a coin flip but Leftie has bit more popularity so I go with him here.

15-Man Battle Royal (winner gets a World Title Shot at SPW Octoberfest) While there ain´t full participant list available for this one, I´d assume that the main names were all mentioned and from those, Boone is the one I would expect to take the win since Herzog and Andrews already had their shots for the belt just recently. Daniel Loiselle vs. Austyn Taylor Taylor likely still ain´t on the same level than Loiselle so I´d assume he loses here again. That said, in my eyes, he´s recent losses to Loiselle and Espiritu haven´t really hurt Taylor as I expect everyone except maybe Boone to automatically lose to those two so will be interesting to see if Taylor manages to keep the roster spot he´s now claiming (which I see being basically just behind the original seven) or will he be shuffled back to midcard role after this feud with Loiselle have ended. Sir Anthony Henry vs. Mike Lewis Lewis is bit of a same position than Taylor except Henry not being as high caliber opponent than Loiselle. Still, the fact that he´s feuding with Henry (and actually gained bit of success while doing so) have elevated Lewis a bit in my eyes. That said, I still see Henry as bigger name and expect him to go over but much like Taylor, it will be interesting to see were Lewis will go after this one (assuming of course that you plan to continue this one and not jump into TEW2020 now that it´s out ) Escuadron vs. No Nonsense No Nonsense did get a win over Night Fever so perhaps they are being build as next challengers for Young Guns... actually, I was planning on picking Escuadron with the usual face champ reasoning but lets mix things up a bit and give No Nonsense a shot, after all, there´s only so many heel teams that you can throw towards the champs. Saita Kuroki vs. Perry Bryant Bryant have already gone over Kuroki and you have stated multiple times that you ain´t particularly impressed on Kuroki´s performance so I assume he continues his gatekeeper duty here, except Bryant have already passed the gate. Also, just like Taylor and Lewis, Bryant is yet another guy who I´m keeping close eye regarding on were he would go next SPW World Title Match- El Espiritu © vs. Nathan Hayes Much like Levi Andrews, Hayes is a perfect filler challenger for Espiritu, as he have enough name value to challenge Espiritu but not yet enough to go over him especially not with the main belt on line.

SPW World Title Match- El Espiritu © vs. Friedrich Herzog With Boone now in the Alliance, he would be my first pick to beat the champ over Herzog and so I think Espiritu will retain here. SPW Tag Team Title Match- Young Guns © vs. Escuadron I could see Escuadron getting the belts next but don´t think it happens quite yet and there´s another team who I feel are slightly more likely to be be next champs so I have Young Guns retain here. Daniel Loiselle vs. Levi Andrews I could see Loiselle losing in order to keep him away from title shot for little while but I don´t see Levi being the guy in the Alliance who would go over him so picking Loiselle here based on his opponent not being on same level in my eyes. Saita Kuroki, Mike Lewis & The Kuroki Boys vs. Sir Anthony Henry, Squire Albert Berik, Perry Bryant & Austyn Taylor This is a tough one as I feel Kuroki could use the win and it wouldn´t hurt Lewis either but overall, with Taylor added here I feel that heels have more going on as Taylor has his one feud with Loiselle on top of everyone else here being in feuds with each other´s Night Fever vs. No Nonsense Boy did Disco's performance in tournament open my eyes. I know you had praised him before but he´s ratings were so much better than what David and Hayes managed to get in the tournament (or what I have seen Lewis produce lately since he´s another guy who I marked as decent in-ring guy based on few earlier match ratings) that it really did surprise me. Guess he´s really developed nicely in those tag matches as I don´t remember him getting that good ratings in earlier single matches. As I said in the tag titles match, there´s another team who I see getting the belts next over Escuadron and that´s Night Fever with Disco´s performance tipping the previously even scale to Night Fever´s favor in my eyes. Nathan Hayes vs. The Puzzler In theory, I could see Puzzler going over in order to establish future title match but I don´t see him being high enough on pecking order to warrant win over Alliance especially sine you said you wanted to boost them Dustin David & Calvin Stevenson vs. Carl Hackney & Michael King Tough one here as Stevenson is newbie but David is highest on the pecking order (at least in my eyes) so I could see this one going either way... I go with David as I feel he´s above rest on the guys in this match

CGC World Title: Bobby Thomas vs Zeus Maxmillion © I hope Bobby would win but sadly my head says Zeus is going to retain here. Going Postal Match for CGC Tag Titles: Express Delivery vs Woolabonga Bogans © Bogans just got the belts so they ain´t dropping them yet Blockbuster vs Jack DeColt Could see Blockbuster winning if you want to build him up even more but thinking Jack will take this one with Blockbuster already seeing himself so highly that he complains if not winning 30-man rumble. Faith Invitational Semi Final: Hugh DeArrrske & Hustle King vs Diablo & Stevie King and DeArrske feels like the weakest team out from the four on semi-finals, though on the same note, this could well be their break-out performance if they do well and they the one team that I could see I could see benefiting most from Faith. That said, I´m going with more established stars here. Faith Invitational Semi Final: Joey Poison & Gnaw vs Ian Identity & Skip Beau Poison is basically Gnaw´s manager so I don´t see Faith doing much there. Not entirely sure why Ian would want Faith as manager after dropping Jenny either but that seems to be were the story is going at the moment. ... and who will answer Dan DaLay's open challenge? No idea, lets say Greaser since he´s first face that comes to my mind who ain´t in the show already.

Cage Match: Jack DeColt vs ??????????? DeColt rules... and Jack vs. Blockbuster storyline wouldn´t go anywhere if Jack loses here. Diablo DeVille vs Bobby Thomas Bobby needs to win here if he wants to look as a threat to Zeus. Express Delivery vs Greaser & Dice Elderberry Yes, really happy to see Dirty White Boys back together. Hard to say if their teamwork would still be on the level that they would need against Express Delivery but I go with them anyway. Stevie Grayson vs Hustle King Grayson is doing more and I assume he would be more popular as well.

Hugh DeArrrske vs Bobby Thomas Bobby is higher on the pecking order Winner Picks the Apocalypse Stipulation: Philippe LaGrenier vs Donovan Boon Heels cheat to get advantage in the title match Faith Invitational Tournament: Frozen North vs Stevie & Diablo I don´t see Stevie and Diablo being able to work together well enough to beat an actual tag team. Faith Invitational Tournament: Poison & Gnaw vs Delivery Drones They don´t even need potions to win here.

<p>Mid South Title Tournament 1st Round: Beau Joslin vs. <strong>Leroy Disco</strong></p><p> <em>You have been praising Disco for his work after few shows so you are likely thinking quite highly on him and this I´d assume he gets past first round</em></p><p> </p><p> Mid South Title Tournament 1st Round: <strong>Dustin David</strong> vs. Danny Cool</p><p> <em>I´m rating David higher and assuming winner here would face Disco next, hence picking a face on this one.</em></p><p> </p><p> Mid South Title Tournament 1st Round: Roland Pascual vs. <strong>Nathan Hayes</strong></p><p> <em>Thinking Hayes gets this one, as he seems to have more going on thanks to him being part of the Alliance who just became even more powerful with Boone on their side..</em></p><p> </p><p> Mid South Title Tournament 1st Round: <strong>Tetsuyuki Ishibashi</strong> vs. Squire Albert Berik</p><p> <em>I would pick Berik here but since I expect winner to face Hayes next, I go with Ishibashi instead.</em></p><p> </p><p> El Espiritu & Saita Kuroki vs. <strong>The Alliance</strong></p><p> <em>Tough one since Alliance won last month but Kuroki seems to be lowest on the pecking order from these four men... thinking Alliance gets another win over champ here since they are more than likely going to lose the next singles match or two.</em></p><p> </p><p> Bonus prediction opportunity- who will win the tournament?</p><p> <em>So, I think Hayes would go in the finals over Ishibashi (I´m assuming here that the guys in first two matches will face each other´s next round which ain´t confirmed) so that would mean David needs to go over Disco in order to not have heel vs. heel final. David vs. Hayes I could see ending either way but I go with David as I think the heel side of your roster is slightly stronger than the face side currently, meaning more feud options for the champ. Also, Hayes has stuff to do with him being part of the Alliance so I don´t think he would need the belt to stay relevant while being a champ would certainly give boost to David. So </em><em><strong>Dustin David</strong></em><em> will be my answer and I would stick to that answer even if David vs Disco would end up being the final (don´t see Ishibashi getting past second round regardless of the opponent he faces).</em></p>

<p>CGC Tag Team Title Match: <strong>Woolabonga Bogans</strong> vs Express Delivery</p><p> <em>Eh, why not? I break my usual going with the champ routine here and say that Bogans will actually get the belt here. Main reasoning is that they one of the better teams you have on your roster and they have been pretty solid for you so far so could as well reward them with a title run with the project close to ending.</em></p><p> </p><p> Joey Poison & Gnaw vs <strong>Skip Beau & Ian Identity</strong></p><p> <em>Poison eats the pin while Gnaw get too distracted by beating who ever ain´t pinning Poison.</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Blockbuster</strong> vs Greaser</p><p> <em>I do like Greaser and all but if Blockbuster complained about not winning the Last man standing rumble, I would assume he would complain twice as much if you ask him to put Greaser over in 1 vs. 1 and I don´t see Greaser being important enough to warrant making Blockbuster angry.</em></p><p> </p><p> Robin DaLay vs <strong>Bobby Thomas</strong></p><p> <em>One of them is fighting for the main belt, the other... well, he ain´t</em></p><p> </p><p> Who's turning heel? Zeus Maxmillion or Bobby Thomas? Neither? Both? Where do your allegiances lay? Who are you cheering for? This is something I never fully got a handle on how it was getting over. I heard predictions, but not hopes.</p><p> <em>I could see either one turning but actually going to go with neither as Zeus have Stevie to pull him back and Thomas haven´t so far shown any real signs of turning since he´s beef is with Diablo who is a heel. I´m cheering for Bobby even though I doubt he would win the main belt mainly because of as you said, he´s not the future because of his age and frankly you already pushed him more than I had any right to expect so pretty happy with how things turned out for Bobby regardless of the outcome of this storyline.</em></p>

CGC Canadian Title: Kevin Lomas vs Jack DeColt © I don´t see Lomas being the one who takes the belt off from Jack. Zeus Maxmillion & Diablo DeVille vs Bobby Thomas & ????? I go with draw after things escalate out of control here. Express Delivery vs Crusher Haverford & Christian Vars Regular tam over random pairing. Gnaw vs Skip Beau Gnaw´s potion likely carry him past skip on this one. Dice Elderberry vs Rusty Mills In all honesty, I have no idea here but since it´s singles guy versus tag guy I go with singles guy with the idea that he would need the win more.

Daniel Loiselle vs. Austyn Taylor Doubful Taylor would go over Loiselle here despite his recent push. El Espiritu & Young Guns vs. The Alliance Thinking Alliance gets one over the champ here considering that I don´t see any of them beating Espiritu in 1 vs. 1 (Well Herzog probably could but I simply don´t see Espiritu dropping the belt before this feud is over). Dustin David vs. Carl Hackney I see David being higher on pecking order at the moment. Joe Boone vs. Sir Anthony Henry I do rate Boone higher and Henry have had a loss or two that makes me wonder if you are using more as a gatekeeper than actual main eventer. That said, something on the way you write on Boone looking for another title shots kind of makes me expect a heel turn on him if he ain´t given title shot soon and thinking loss here could lead to that outcome. Another reason why I´m thinking Boone might get a turn is that I rate Loiselle, Espiritu and Boone as the top 3 in-ring performers (again from the starting 7 and I doubt any newly created guy would already be on their level) and right now they are all faces, which is kind of fine but personally I prefer my top in-ring guys to be on different alignments as I feel it does give more options to pick good main events with wider cast. Saita Kuroki & The Kuroki Boys vs. Perry Bryant & Escuadron Kuroki seems to be getting a gatekeeper role these days and with Bryant already going over him in 1 vs. 1 and Kuroki Boys still being new and likely two least popular guys in this match, I´m thinking this will be another occasion were Kuroki will put other´s over him although I´m sure one of the Boys will eat the pin in that case. The Puzzler vs. Michael King I actually go with King here as Puzzler´s match ratings have been kind of bad and his momentum likely ain´t great with being on the losing end on most matches (as inevitably, pretty much any newcomer will) so I feel there´s more upside to give King an early win and see if he manages to give better ratings than Puzzler and if he shows promise, perhaps he can get enough wins that his momentum won´t be tanking on the same way Puzzler´s likely already is. Night Fever vs. No Nonsense You seem to be decently high on Disco and his performance and No Nonsense have lost more often than not so I pick Night Fever here. Oh, and yes, there´s also that face champ argument again that I seem to be using on every tag match you booked in last few shows but you likely guessed that already. Mike Lewis vs. Albert Berik I don´t see Lewis getting a win over Henry (yes, it was a DQ but still) only to lose here so assuming Mike picks another win.

SPW World Title Match- El Espiritu © vs. Levi Andrews I don´t quite see Andrews getting the main belt, mainly because he´s quite old to begin with and one of the lesser performers in starting seven and you have teamed him with Herzog who I see as more likely future champion. That said, he still makes perfectly good challenger and I doubt this would be his last title shot either. SPW Tag Team Title Match- Young Guns © vs. Night Fever Still bit early for Guns to drop the belt plus you are just starting to build up your other face tag teams, while heels have few that already have some experience so feeling that face champs make more sense at the moment. Joe Boone vs. Nathan Hayes Don´t see Boone dropping this one even if Hayes is one of the guys I rate highest outside of the starting seven (his spot in The Alliance have really helped his career in my eyes) Sir Anthony Henry vs. Mike Lewis I wonder if Lewis starts to be close on the popularity levels to go over Henry. Still, I´m very unlikely to pick anyone over the starting seven anytime soon so Henry is my pick this time as well Escuadron vs. No Nonsense Could see this one going either way but I still go with the logic that face champs mean heels are winning here since Escuadron looks like most logical next challengers for Guns. Friedrich Herzog vs. Dustin David I do still rate David pretty highly but once again I´m not going to pick against starting seven member. Austyn Taylor vs. The Puzzler Taylor might not have what it takes to be main eventer but I doubt he fell so far on the pecking order that you would feed him to Puzzler The Kuroki Boys vs. Carl Hackney & Michael King Another tag match that I could see going either way. Despite only one of these teams having a name, I actually go with heels on this one mostly based on the same logic than with Escuadron vs. No Nonsense Saita Kuroki vs. Perry Bryant Bryant have had some pretty good matches with David and that makes me wonder if he´s also skilled in-ring guy or is it just that he had good opponent on David. I haven´t yet figured that one out but Bryant is another guy who I have my eyes out for in terms of performance and with Kuroki seemingly being the least among the seven, I do wonder if upset is possible here. Still, I go with the usual "don´t pick against the starting seven" rule that I´m using but I´m lot less sure that I´m right here compered the other matches on this card.
