My exact words to Rich last night when we were talking about the roster number and how boofed he'd like it for SB. FTFY Here's a SuperBrawl moment for you - this will be the first SB that won't have David Brennan on the card since SBVI. I will lock you in a room in Wormtown, forced to stay there forever.

You really don't get it. A room implies isolation - you'd have a better chance giving me the chills by threatening to chain me to the DCU garage and then building a wall and making Marlborough pay for it. However, if you must - QA room at the Polar plant, please and thank you. I ain't never scared.

Inb4 Obo reaches out, vaguely and non-specifically asking to be slotted into a one time, upper card, high implication match that requires little to no ongoing effort on his behalf. The selling point, of course, is that you, being the guy charged with assembling the marquee event, would be the primary beneficiary of the favor being offered. He can open the show. The main event is already obvious to everyone in the world. Trevor Wolfe vs The Dog Who Eats Cheeseburgers?

Did I mention that it is a special three part stipulation match: a hot dog eating contest followed by a dance off followed by arm wrestling.

Way more epic than any main event in the past including that one that Trace should have won.

My specific point memory doesn't Trace that far back, but just looking at the lineup, knowing that Mike no-showed, I've no doubt Trace handed in the best piece there.

I remember reading them and he did. Pretty sure I started this then too. And everything that happened afterwards was just sad. If you are going to hand the title off to someone else, it should have been Ace. It would have made more sense and been on a more competent writer. Dex was as lame as they come, complete garbage.

If you are going to hand the title off to someone else, it should have been Ace. It would have made more sense and been on a more competent writer. Dex was as lame as they come, complete garbage. I went back and kind of perused the posts around that time. I went in betting on Trace, and my response to his RP tells me he delivered as I expected he would. I apparently didn't respond to Shawn's. That could mean one of maybe three things on my end. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't think there's much more I can say about Dex that I already haven't, but unless I'm willfully repressing something worse in the recesses of my mind, he might be the penultimate beacon of getting handed the rock and just whipping it clear into the stands around here. Fortunately, collateral was minimal because everyone in attendance figured he'd do exactly that and just cleared out of harm's way before he hit the free throw line. That would've been a good Rodriguez line. Results85.71% correctly predicted Sterling/Jax/Speedwagon 100% correctly predicted Brennan/Dean 85.71% correctly predicted Devilkiller/Staxx 100% correctly predicted Dex/ZMaster 42.85% correctly predicted the Tag Team Championships Match 66.66% correctly predicted Stone/Shannon 33.33% correctly predicted Bishop/Blaze 40% correctly predicted Drakz/Schneider 28.57% correctly predicted Solomon/Quinn/Thunder/Demon/MalakaiInteresting stuff. From the prediction thread for that show. Trace and Shawn held down the entirety of the votes in this one. Solomon, Quinn, and Thunder picked up 0 predictions each. Certainly interesting.

At the risk of being called a sore loser, and no offence intended to Shawn, but that's one of the few 'marquee' matches I genuinely thought I should have won. Of course I also have a massive ego, so take that with a pinch of salt.

My greatest fear when Brennan virtually handed me the International Title earlier this year was becoming the next Dex. You have no idea how much I stressed out over putting up a good showing in every title defense. He was before my time but seeing his name become a running joke was great inspiration.

It would have made more sense and been on a more competent writer. Dex was as lame as they come, complete garbage. My greatest fear when Brennan virtually handed me the International Title earlier this year was becoming the next Dex. You have no idea how much I stressed out over putting up a good showing in every title defense. He was before my time but seeing his name become a running joke was great inspiration. The difference is that by the time we needed to divest my monopoly over the entire title picture, you were already established enough to have a) been considered for the ownership spot, b) been given the ownership spot, having proven yourself mentally and emotionally capable of taking it on, and c) blazed up until that point a path that was both consistent and even grounded with your work. About a week or so before the title was handed to Dex, he'd reached out to me via PM, asking for a thorough swath of advice on his character, as he'd reached "a point where [he] really [didn't] have a clue on what to write for Dex" (his words). By that time, he was less than a year deep into his run as Dex, during which he'd diverged his attention at least two separate ways, creating side characters along the way while never even truly finding his footing with his primary. His "success" (in the loosest use of the word) went straight to his head, his writing became increasingly erratic as he went a thousand different directions trying to instantly solidify himself as worthy of the spot he'd be put in ahead of a much larger roster than you or I ever commanded, and, surprising no one, when it came time to put up, he came up short, and dove down the spiral of here and gone again that punctuated the remainder of his run. Basically, a whole litany of arguments against, none of which could ever be applied to you when the time had come for us to realign the stars, so to speak. And if anyone gives you sh*t, remind them that the whole thing was my idea, and they can get on my case for all eternity as I've done to bad guy™ for his role in that whole ordeal.

As a newly crowned champion, that's my fear too. I feel like my last RP is my best one so I'm feeling the pressure to top it. The last thing I want is to peak but let me tell you something, I haven't even begun to peak and when I do peak, you'll know because I'm going to peak so hard that everyone in the WFWF is going to feel it.

Voted Shawn, feel no guilt. I ultimately enjoyed it more at the time (which I'm sure is influenced psychologically by it being the best we'd read from Shawn ever and not Trace's strongest effort in that run), but still I doubt (if memory serves me correct) Drakz would have come to the same conclusion if it was a glaring error. Stop whinging.
Dex really was a f***ing crime though.

Stop whinging. Dex really was a f***ing crime though. I did vote Shawn and can't lie probably was influenced thusly as well. I also remember Trace's RP being heavily fantasy based and, whilst well written, didn't do it for me that time around, which is unusual for his stuff. Dex was whatever. Let's just focus on the title reign that followed.
