APW Predictions: Mayhem, May 20th

[C.J. Gates]

Here it is! The Mayhem card for predictions. Feel free to add a little reason why you think your pick will win, since this is a PPV. I'm sure Jeff (or someone at some point, maybe me) will open a Mayhem discussion thread in the OOC Board for general banter and unofficial picks, so use this for your official picks for the Mayhem Card!

XTREME TITLE LAST MAN STANDING MATCH
John Dionysus © Vs Michael Harris

-Dionysus is pound for pound one of the best writers in the game today. His work with Farquhar is stellar and his Dionysus stuff is even better. This man is a grade-A dynamo and while Harris is good, I don't think he's really hit that stride yet. It'll be close for sure.

~~~

BALL ROOM BRAWL
Nick Watson Vs AC Smith Vs Billy Pepsi Vs Johnny Sykes Vs Yarmouth vs. Dita Morgan

-I like her. She's one of my favourites of the new breed so I'm rooting for her.

~~~


SINGLES MATCH
Mike Morrison Vs Rico Casteel

He's CJ Gates for goodness sake. Morrison is a class act (even though he posts nowhere near on the boards as much as I'd like him to) and while he's a talent in his own right, I see Rico edging this one out.

~~~

OVERDRIVE CHAMPIONSHIP
Terry Marvin © Vs Keaton Saint


As much as I'd like to see this one go to Keaton as part of the big face comeuppance that Terry Marvin is due, it's for that exact reason that I think T-Marv will win. His heel has been nothing short of detestable lately of the highest sense and it's for that reason that I think he'll win. He's really in his zone right now.

TAP OUT TITLE MATCH
Anthony Bailey © Vs Matt Matlock

A guy who I haven't seen post in a long time against a guy who beat the World Champion and his #1 Contenders? Bailey has this one set.

~~~

SINGLES MATCH
Chris Hart Vs Delikado

-Delikado has been on nothing short of a roll lately and I think despite this feud obviously coming to an end, he'll be able to outroleplay Chris Hart who has told me that he is less than motivated.

~~~

NON TITLE MATCH
Michael Callahan Vs Sally Talfourd

-I'm abstaining from voting for this match which is something I as an unpinned, unsubmitted Wrestling Representative have NEVER done since my arrival in APW. That's my way of not backing myself to win without outright throwing in the towel before I even start.

To everyone else, it's an indicator that you're a fucking retard if you vote for me.

~~~

TRIPLE THREAT TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
The Stud Muffins © Vs Sindicate Vs The Ass Kickers Anonymous

-The Studmuffins have remained dominant and I like them as tag champions. I might be throwing points away when there's the team of Reb/L1 to contend with but I want to remain hopeful.

~~~

APW NORTH AMERICAN TITLE
Evan Envi Vs Sam Packer

He beat me. It may not have been as Callahan, but he's done something nobody else has done so far and that's beat me in a straight roleplay contest so I have to give him my vote on that.

~~~

UNDISPUTED MATCH
Kurt Noble © Vs CJ Gates

It'd be too soon for Kurt to lose his title. He's been dominating lately and with all of the big wins he's been racking up it'd be preposterous to assume anything else but a hotly contested, narrow victory over the challenger.

[michaelharris]

TRIPLE THREAT WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
Jason Kash © Vs Johnny Knuckles Vs Chaz Dillinger

Reason: I happen to be a big fan of the character. No doubt about it that these three are some of the best writers on the fed and it very well could go either way. I just see Kash edging it out and being able to keep the belt where its currently at.

XTREME TITLE LAST MAN STANDING MATCH
John Dionysus © Vs Michael Harris

Reason: This may be a tad bit biased and I apologize in advance if it comes off like that. However John & I put a lot of effort into this storyline. We wanted to make it come off huge, since this will likely be the last match between these two for awhile. I wouldn't say it was the best thing going for Overdrive as far as storylines, but it was up there imo. However as much as we put into this and as much as I am going to try. John is great and I see him beating me again. Though, it'll be super close. Regardless though, best of luck bro.

BALL ROOM BRAWL
Nick Watson Vs AC Smith Vs Billy Pepsi Vs Johnny Sykes Vs Yarmouth vs. Dita Morgan

Reason: Again another match I am in, however I know that I got a long ways to go before I find my groove with Sykes. I'm enjoying what I am putting out so far. He's a real fun character to play, but I know I am not ready to win this kind of match yet. I see AC winning, simply because he is pretty good and he has some momentum going for him. If he keeps it going and captalizes on it well. He very well could pull out the W.


SINGLES MATCH
Mike Morrison Vs Rico Casteel

~~~

OVERDRIVE CHAMPIONSHIP
Terry Marvin © Vs Keaton Saint

Reason: This has been quite the interesting feud to say the least. TMarv is quite the heel and makes you truly hate his guts. Now with that being said as good as he is and as good as this storyline has been. I think this will be the final confrontation between them for a little while. Thus the reason, I can see Saint coming out on top. Good guy overcomes the odds type dealio. Regardless though, it'll be a damn good match.

SINGLES MATCH
Donovan Caine Vs Isamu Suzuki

~~~

TAP OUT TITLE MATCH
Anthony Bailey © Vs Matt Matlock

Reason: Bailey has come into his own right, and has pulled off some pretty huge wins as of late. I can see him continuing his success as the Tap Out Champion, but on the flip side. If he were to lose, I could easily see him being next in line for the World Title. However I just don't see his reign as champion coming to an end too soon.

SINGLES MATCH
Chris Hart Vs Delikado

NON TITLE MATCH
Michael Callahan Vs Sally Talfourd

Reason: Wow! This is a damn good match between two very talented writers. In my honest opinion, I just based this decision of a pure guess. Both are that good that I could see it going either way. Both have something to gain with a victory. So lets just hope my pick is correct lol.

TRIPLE THREAT TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
The Stud Muffins © Vs Sindicate Vs The Ass Kickers Anonymous

Reason: Great triple threat tag match! All three teams have their strong points and this is anyone's ball game. However I think with the Sindicate is going to take it. They are a very good team and they have just been causing all kinds of havoc as of late. No better way than to continue their success by capturing the tag titles.

APW NORTH AMERICAN TITLE
Evan Envi Vs Sam Packer

~~~

UNDISPUTED MATCH
Kurt Noble © Vs CJ Gates

Reason: Another super close match, that could go either way. I based this one off a guess as well. I think it can go either way without a doubt. However I decided to go with the champion based on the fact he hasn't had the title all that long and he certainly isn't going to want to lose it just yet. Either way a damn good main event and couldn't think of a better one to close out the show.

[Jason Cashe]

TRIPLE THREAT WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
Jason Kash © Vs Johnny Knuckles Vs Chaz Dillinger

PICK & Reason: N/A It's kind of my match and I'll take a N/A here.

~~~

XTREME TITLE LAST MAN STANDING MATCH
John Dionysus © Vs Michael Harris

PICK & Reason: Dionysus. I think I picked Harris last time around but in the end Dionysus came through. I haven't read up on either of these guys in a minute but I will read everything for the PPV so early reports, I'm going with Dionysus.

~~~

BALL ROOM BRAWL
Nick Watson Vs AC Smith Vs Billy Pepsi Vs Johnny Sykes Vs Yarmouth vs. Dita Morgan

PICK & Reason: Nick Watson. With the known experience that he has and if he appears he can win. Dita Morgan and Sykes are other could bes here.

~~~

SINGLES MATCH
Mike Morrison Vs Rico Casteel

PICK & Reason: Morrison. I think the world of Casteel as a writer but I think he's faded and not really into his old self right now.

~~~

OVERDRIVE CHAMPIONSHIP
Terry Marvin © Vs Keaton Saint

PICK & Reason: T-Marv. The guy is gold! I think T-Marv will be Undisputed Champion within the year and he takes a 2-0 lead here against Saint. UNLESS Marv is dropping to move up. That'd be worth it cause he's ready.

~~~

SINGLES MATCH
Donovan Caine Vs Isamu Suzuki

PICK & Reason: Suzuki. I am still waiting to see more trash talking on Suzuki's part. If he could just add one small element to his game, he'd be a player in APW again but Caine should be a good match up.

~~~

TAP OUT TITLE MATCH
Anthony Bailey © Vs Matt Matlock

PICK & Reason: Bailey. He's on a roll and has beaten some bigger names on Asylum recently. Props given, he keeps the TapOut Belt for as long as he wishes to hold it.

~~~

SINGLES MATCH
Chris Hart Vs Delikado

PICK & Reason: More of a personal storyline brought into APW but it's interesting enough. I'm gonna go with Hart here because from what I've seen from both, he is more about the match at hand as well as giving a good written rp. I am just a Hart fan and Delikado is still new to me.

~~~

NON TITLE MATCH
Michael Callahan Vs Sally Talfourd

PICK & Reason: Callahan. This is tough. I want Sally to win just to put a damp in Callahan's walk but this could go either way. Pushing this TRI group might be a bigger impact if he beats Sally Talfourd. Why is this not for the belt again?

~~~

TRIPLE THREAT TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
The Stud Muffins © Vs Sindicate Vs The Ass Kickers Anonymous

PICK & Reason: Sindicate. While I think the name is outdated, the talent surely isn't. They are possibly the best two combination in APW history and it's going to be next to fucking hard to stop them.

~~~

APW NORTH AMERICAN TITLE
Evan Envi Vs Sam Packer

PICK & Reason: Envi. I've only read a piece from each so excuse me if I haven't come to know these guys better. A guy named Packer just isn't gonna get my vote right away so ENVI!!

~~~

UNDISPUTED MATCH
Kurt Noble © Vs CJ Gates

PICK & Reason: CJ Gates. APW Original, can't go against that. He's as original as I've come to know in APW and to me, CJ Gates is APW's Top Poster Boy when he's on his game. Close but I am putting big bills on Gates for the win.

[Jules]

Winners in emphasis.

TRIPLE THREAT WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
Jason Kash © Vs Johnny Knuckles Vs Chaz Dillinger

I thought Knuckles was unlucky at RM, but Kash had that little extra to get over the line. The question is whether Knuckles can lift himself again and put together something better...I'm not sure. Havok seems to be coming into his own as Chaz, but is the character World Champion material? Not quite yet in my eyes. Kash retains.

p.s. this is a heck of a way to open the show.

~~~

XTREME TITLE LAST MAN STANDING MATCH
John Dionysus © Vs Michael Harris

I'm not going to predict this one. I will say though it has been a pleasure working with Harris, and whoever wins will be a worthy champion. When Dionysus got this title I remember Noble saying he hoped it would restore some credibility to the title, well I hope we've done that over the past three months by putting together a meaningful feud.

~~~

BALL ROOM BRAWL
Nick Watson Vs AC Smith Vs Billy Pepsi Vs Johnny Sykes Vs Yarmouth vs. Dita Morgan

There are a few potential future stars in this one. Obviously the guy behind Watson knows what is required to get to the very top in APW; A.C. Smith has a bit to prove I'd say; Sykes looks a good prospect; Billy Pepsi is one my favourite Asylum characters; plus a couple of Meltdown players looking to impress. I'd like to see Pepsi given a push so I'm backing him.

~~~


SINGLES MATCH
Mike Morrison Vs Rico Casteel

Of course these guys split up after the humiliation of losing to a deluded tea-loving Anglophile and his clumsy assistant...just kidding! This one I expect will not be an orthodox match. The guy behind C.J./Rico is one of the best, but Rico seems to have become very secondary character of late and I suspect he will put his former tag partner over here. Morrison is another guy I think deserves another push, a potential contender for Callahan's strap.

~~~

OVERDRIVE CHAMPIONSHIP
Terry Marvin © Vs Keaton Saint


I'm gonna say exactly what I've said elsewhere, these two are, to quote Delikado, "LIKE A BAWSE!" and I love them both as RPers. Tel has come into his own as the most charismatic heel on Overdrive, and Keaton Saint is a guy you would follow into battle. I suspect Tmarv is going to get his ass whooped big-styley, but I think he may just sneak away with the win....somehow.
~~~

SINGLES MATCH
Donovan Caine Vs Isamu Suzuki


I'm really pleased to see Suzuki involved in a storyline, and although I don't quite know how this got started I have enjoyed its presence on Asylum. I don't think Suzuki is far away from being a hit on Asylum, but Caine seems to have a new lease of life on Asylum so may just take it.

~~~

TAP OUT TITLE MATCH
Anthony Bailey © Vs Matt Matlock

Bailey is on a hot streak on Asylum right now - will he drop the title for a main event push post-Mayhem? If its not booked I think Bailey wins hands down; not a slight against Matlock, but he seems to lack that spark Bailey possesses.

~~~

SINGLES MATCH
Chris Hart Vs Delikado

Delikado is definitely the highlight of the midcard on Overdrive, and no-one does a rip on their opponents quite as uniquely as Delikado. Hart is Noble's tag partner, that speaks volumes, but I think that charisma Delikado has will get him through.

~~~

NON TITLE MATCH
Michael Callahan Vs Sally Talfourd

This is a big challenge for Callahan, and one I think he and the character needs and deserves (don't think he's had a one on one with a leading Asylum face, which is odd since he has made himself the brand's #1 heel). I think Sally will win because she is Sally, but I expect Callahan to do his utmost and will no doubt put up a very stiff challenge. Future World Title match possibly.

~~~

TRIPLE THREAT TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
The Stud Muffins © Vs Sindicate Vs The Ass Kickers Anonymous

A team which contains Level-One and Rebel is going to be formidable; I don't think Biggs has been properly challenged with The STUDS yet though, and although he always insists he is a transitional champion I think he is going to put up a fight here. AKA will do their utmost I'm sure to cause the upset.

~~~

APW NORTH AMERICAN TITLE
Evan Envi Vs Sam Packer

Envi is the first guy to really standout on the Meltdown brand. He looks a solid character, although he may have to do some work when he moves up to differentiate himself from some of the top heels.

~~~

UNDISPUTED MATCH
Kurt Noble © Vs CJ Gates

There is a finish I would love to see, but I won't mention it here. I think Noble will retain, not a slight against C.J. at all. I picked C.J. at RM and Noble got the win, plus he put me out of Ascension so I'm officially his bitch....lol, j/k!

[SalTal]

TRIPLE THREAT WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
Jason Kash © Vs Johnny Knuckles Vs Chaz Dillinger

Winner: Chaz Dillinger.

Why?: Because he doesn't ave two characters to write for anymore, I believe that Chaz has all his focus on this match. He's good, he's steady, and he's hungry. Kash has been a great champion, and has done the belt wonders. I'm thinking that because he's had it so long, he might be in a bit of a routine, and needs to be scared back to that form that got him th belt. And, unfortunately, if Knuckles couldn't beat Kash one-on-one, I don't know how he's going to do it with the addition of Chaz. Good luck to you all though!

~~~

XTREME TITLE LAST MAN STANDING MATCH
John Dionysus © Vs Michael Harris

Winner: Michael Harris.

Why?: Michael is a seriously good role-player, but he hadn't quite hit his stride just yet at Mania when this match first came around. Also, I imagine there was a lot of OOC stuff going on in his mind too. I think with these extra weeks to clear his head, refine his style to be APW-style, and really iron out those creases that he's got a title-winning promo in him. That said, I feel silly for writing off Dionysus. Another great champion, and someone who isn't going to be giving up the belt easily. I think Dionysus has a lot more to give as champion and I fully appreciate being wrong on this one.

~~~

BALL ROOM BRAWL
Nick Watson Vs AC Smith Vs Billy Pepsi Vs Johnny Sykes Vs Yarmouth vs. Dita Morgan

Winner: Johnny Sykes

Why?: See above and the reasons for Michael Harris, only the Johnny Sykes character is a level above that, imo. Every show is being represented by two people here, and while you might normally give the advantage to a former champion (NW), I just haven't got the 'it' vibe from him as I have Sykes. I think with the extra time and the focus, Sykes will dig out another winning promo.

~~~


SINGLES MATCH
Mike Morrison Vs Rico Casteel

Winner: Mike Morrison

Why?: Call it an upset, but I think that Mike might manage to win this won. All of Rico/CJ's best is going into his main event that he might leave enough of an opening here to let Mike sneak through. The culmination of a nice little storyline here too. And can I also say that Mike really should be commended as someone to improve leaps and bounds in his writing. Seriously, this guy has worked so hard that he deserves a win on that alone.

~~~

OVERDRIVE CHAMPIONSHIP
Terry Marvin © Vs Keaton Saint


Winner: Terry Marvin

Why?: Terry has been on a roll of late. He did what I thought was near-unthinkable last time and beat the legendary Keaton Saint. And you know what? In my eyes he's only got better and stronger now. Now he's got actual focus to the character - not a general heel, but a Sindicate heel. There's a purpose to Terry and I love it. I think with all this feeding into the already great promos that Terry writes, he will get the win. But Keaton...well, Keaton is Keaton. If he wants the title, he's got it in him to find that promo that would win it.

~~~

SINGLES MATCH
Donovan Caine Vs Isamu Suzuki


Winner: Isamu Suzuki

Why?: What I think might be the hardest one to call (yes, harder than the main event!). These two are at the same level, only Caine is just that inch better. In saying that, I honestly love the Isamu character and I'm picking this on who I want to see win. Isamu kicking it up a gear, getting those promos to the ppv winning level? It would just be time before he's holding a belt on the mighty Asylum shows!

~~~

TAP OUT TITLE MATCH
Anthony Bailey © Vs Matt Matlock

Winner: Anthony Bailey

Why?: As someone said, Bailey has faced the best (well, nearly the best *wink*) that Asylum has to offer and has beaten all of them. His undefeated streak is probably the strongest in APW right now. He's beat the champion, the former number one contender, and now someone else vying for the title. Matt is a worthy opponent, but I think he's being out-matched here.

~~~

SINGLES MATCH
Chris Hart Vs Delikado

Winner: Chris Hart

Why?: Because he's riding a big wave from that last Experts tournament that he won with Noble. I like the gimmick, I also like the style, and I pick what I like.

~~~

NON TITLE MATCH
Michael Callahan Vs Sally Talfourd

Winner: Sally Talfourd

Why?: I want the points; I'm not above picking my own match. And I'm certainly not above picking myself. I'm not confident in the pick at all, and someone on a winning streak needs to be respected. But I know how much I want the win, and I know I'm throwing the kitchen sink at Callahan in this. Good luck, Michael!

~~~

TRIPLE THREAT TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
The Stud Muffins © Vs Sindicate Vs The Ass Kickers Anonymous

Winners: Sindicate

Why?: Let's be honest here: Sindicate has two main eveners writing for the team. Studmuffins has one. And the AKA are returning to the APW scene. Studmuffins have been great champions, but I get the feeling that their run has come to an end. At the same time, I think the Sindicate storyline has only just begun and there are great things in store for all of APW if it continued. The AKA, as I said, they're just getting back into the groove, but I think they are out-classed by the other teams here. And, because of that, I think it comes down to SM and Sindicate. And, well, the Sindicate it is.

~~~

APW NORTH AMERICAN TITLE
Evan Envi Vs Sam Packer

Winner: Evan Envi

Why?: First, it's great to see this match here on the card. It really does add a whole level to the Meltdown brand, but to the people on it as well. With that said, Envi has just been impressive since he came in. He has a lot of competition here - Packer for starters, and then a whole list of talented writers behind him on Meltdown - but he's stood out since he came in and I think that's enough to get the win here. Both of you get a tip of the hat for this historic match.

~~~

UNDISPUTED MATCH
Kurt Noble © Vs CJ Gates

Winner: Kurt Noble

Why?: I can honestly say that when Kurt won the belt originally, such was the convincing nature of it that I thought to myself "Well, here we have another Level-One". Kurt's promos are ppv, main event quality on regular shows. And when it comes to big time ppvs, then they are just awesome. CJ Gates has been the champion, and he's headlined ppvs, but Kurt is ... Kurt. And, like Level-One, it's rare that someone comes along with what it takes to get the win against him. CJ could do it, but it takes something better than CJ's ever written before. I'm not tipping against CJ because it's unlikely that he can find that, but I'm tipping for Kurt because he is constantly turning out world title stuff. Best of luck to you both!

[Kurt]

TRIPLE THREAT WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
Jason Kash © Vs Johnny Knuckles Vs Chaz Dillinger

I do think I picked Knuckles last time. Anyway, I think Kash still has a ways to go in his Heavyweight title reign, although I do like Chaz's inclusion in this match. I see Kash pinning Chaz, keeping the field open for another Knuckles/Kash match down the road.

~~~

XTREME TITLE LAST MAN STANDING MATCH
John Dionysus © Vs Michael Harris

I do believe Harris has improved since their last encounter, but I also believe Jules has found a bit better of a stride with Dionysus. Both men can win with a Harria victory though: Harris gets to run the midcard, and Dionysus starts getting bumped to the ME. We'll see!

~~~

BALL ROOM BRAWL
Nick Watson Vs AC Smith Vs Billy Pepsi Vs Johnny Sykes Vs Yarmouth vs. Dita Morgan

He received a ton of attention on Overdrive for weeks, so now's the time to deliver. Can't build yourself up like that and then fall flat!

~~~


SINGLES MATCH
Mike Morrison Vs Rico Casteel

First match I haven't had a definitive opinion on, but I know Morrison has a chance to really break out here with a win over CJ...who hopefully pours all his time and effort into this match!

~~~

OVERDRIVE CHAMPIONSHIP
Terry Marvin © Vs Keaton Saint


I'm a Keaton Saint mark. One of my favorite guys here. That being said...Terry Marvin has basically starred Overdrive the past few weeks. He's consistently been talked about as one of the most interesting heels APW has, and I think we'll continue to see him develop as an amazing heel. Sorry Smash!
~~~

SINGLES MATCH
Donovan Caine Vs Isamu Suzuki


Just needs a small push to get to where he needs to be. Hopefully this match will help him get there! On a side note, both of these two very much enjoy pushing the more personal sides of their characters, so this match is different from any other on the card for that reason.
~~~

TAP OUT TITLE MATCH
Anthony Bailey © Vs Matt Matlock

He's ripped through Asylum like no one can stop him. I think Matlock is a tad underrated, but Bailey can't be stopped right now.

~~~

SINGLES MATCH
Chris Hart Vs Delikado

I'm gutted. Two magnificent writers, and I know my prediction will drive a wedge between them...so I'm going to pick the one who has a lesser ability to complain about not being picked. The other one does live ten feet away.

~~~

NON TITLE MATCH
Michael Callahan Vs Sally Talfourd

This match, above all others on the card, does not have a win/lose situation: Only a win/win. If sALLY wins, she continues building momentum, while Callahan gets to show he can stand amongst APW's best. If he does win, he shows Asylum holds no candles to him, while Sally really helps boost Callahan's credibility. Since the title isn't on the line, Callahan has really nothing to lose...minus the unpinned streak, but even if that goes, he'll find something else to gloat about, ha. Great match-up.

~~~

TRIPLE THREAT TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
The Stud Muffins © Vs Sindicate Vs The Ass Kickers Anonymous

They just beat me with 3 finishers...what do you want from my life? They're obviously the favorites, but Biggs was and is always too underestimated. The AKA have been really interactive in APW, but I don't think it's their time quite yet. They'll get there...but I think it's the Sindicate's time right now.

~~~

APW NORTH AMERICAN TITLE
Evan Envi Vs Sam Packer

You smack-talked me on twitter when you first got here. I remember these things. Time to back it up!

TRIPLE THREAT WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
Jason Kash © Vs Johnny Knuckles Vs Chaz Dillinger

I usually vote for Knuckles, but Kash seems to be unstoppable as Champ. I think he will continue his reign here.

~~~

XTREME TITLE LAST MAN STANDING MATCH
John Dionysus © Vs Michael Harris

I really like Harris, I just think Dionysus will edge him out. Dionysus has the advantage of focusing on only one match whereas Harris has two matches to worry about. Then again it could go either way.

~~~

BALL ROOM BRAWL
Nick Watson Vs AC Smith Vs Billy Pepsi Vs Johnny Sykes Vs Yarmouth vs. Dita Morgan

As long as my computer doesn't kack out I am voting for myself. Call it optimism, call it the power of positive thinking.

~~~


SINGLES MATCH
Mike Morrison Vs Rico Casteel

For the same reason given by others. I think Gates will have his full attention on Noble, and not much focus on writing for Casteel.

~~~

OVERDRIVE CHAMPIONSHIP
Terry Marvin © Vs Keaton Saint


Keaton Saint is great, but Marv is probably my favorite thing going right now. He's got the classic heel persona down to a T. Close one, but I gotta go with Marv.
~~~

SINGLES MATCH
Donovan Caine Vs Isamu Suzuki


Both are quite evenly matched. I think Suzuki will have the drive to pull this one out.

~~~

TAP OUT TITLE MATCH
Anthony Bailey © Vs Matt Matlock

He's been the Golden Boy as of late. Don't see him stopping now.

SINGLES MATCH
Chris Hart Vs Delikado

I like both guys alot, but Delikado seems to have a bit more focus than Hart at the moment. Very entertaining rivalry though. I am looking forward to this one.

~~~

NON TITLE MATCH
Michael Callahan Vs Sally Talfourd

Callahan is awesome, but Sally is Sally. What more can be said that hasn't been said already? Callahan will have a huge future on Asylum win lose or draw. Truthfully, he doesn't need a win here. He just needs to put up a great fight and he will make his mark.

~~~

TRIPLE THREAT TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
The Stud Muffins © Vs Sindicate Vs The Ass Kickers Anonymous

Level One, and Johnny Reb as a team. Can you say unstoppable force? I like both other teams, but Sindicate kind of feels like a juggernaut here.

Like has been said already. Envi is the stand out of Meltdown. He deserves this win for being a bright shining light on the show.

UNDISPUTED MATCH
Kurt Noble © Vs CJ Gates

Typically face vs face rivalries bore me to tears. This one had a great story. I think my desired end would involve Gates winning and turning full fledged heel. That's how I would book it, because people wouldn't see it coming. However I am going to pick Noble, just a gut feeling.

TRIPLE THREAT WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
Jason Kash © Vs Johnny Knuckles Vs Chaz Dillinger

Ever since the days when Rico and Kash were going toe-to-toe, I always liked what Jason brought to the table. And with more time to season himself, I can't see anyone but him leaving with the title.

~~~

XTREME TITLE LAST MAN STANDING MATCH
John Dionysus © Vs Michael Harris

I've loved what Dionysus has brought to the table. As I've said countless times, I always thought Jules would grab his first bit of gold as Farquhar, but then he brought in Dionysus and...well, it's been great stuff week in and week out.

~~~

BALL ROOM BRAWL
Nick Watson Vs AC Smith Vs Billy Pepsi Vs Johnny Sykes Vs Yarmouth vs. Dita Morgan

Going out on a limb. I think that any one of these people could win the match, but I'm going to go with Watson simply because it's a moment for him to step up and make something of a new character.

~~~

SINGLES MATCH
Mike Morrison Vs Rico Casteel

Good luck!

~~~

OVERDRIVE CHAMPIONSHIP
Terry Marvin © Vs Keaton Saint

I love what Marvin has been doing, and I know that even with a loss, he'll still find a way to make the most out of it. However, I'm a Saint fan so I'm picking him.

~~~

SINGLES MATCH
Donovan Caine Vs Isamu Suzuki

I think it was mentioned above somewhere, but Suzuki is like, a step away from being one of the top names on Asylum. It might just be as simple as more match-related trash talk, but as of right now, I'm putting my money on Caine.

~~~

TAP OUT TITLE MATCH
Anthony Bailey © Vs Matt Matlock

There's a reason why Anthony Bailey beat who he beat - the guy is good. Matlock has shown that when he's invested in the match he can be a threat, but I don't think he'll be enough to take down the current Tap Out champ.

~~~

SINGLES MATCH
Chris Hart Vs Delikado

An interesting feud here, and I'm going to go with Zac Efron.

~~~

NON TITLE MATCH
Michael Callahan Vs Sally Talfourd

This was a tough one (well, there have been many, but this one in particular). Sally is one of the best, and Callahan has steadily been rising himself up and I think this might be what vaults him into the next bracket.

TRIPLE THREAT TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
The Stud Muffins © Vs Sindicate Vs The Ass Kickers Anonymous

The Studmuffins are a good, entertaining team and the AKA were good in the hayday (and still are, no knock on them), but picking against Level One and Johnny Rebel just doesn't sit right with me...

~~~

APW NORTH AMERICAN TITLE
Evan Envi Vs Sam Packer

He's been all over Meltdown, so if he didn't win, I'd be shocked. He's got great writing talent.

~~~

UNDISPUTED MATCH
Kurt Noble © Vs CJ Gates

As is customary, I'm picking my opponent. Good luck, Kurt!

If this were a Kurt Noble RP that would be fore ceded by "is it hard?"

[Level-Two]

TRIPLE THREAT WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
Jason Kash © Vs Johnny Knuckles Vs Chaz Dillinger

~~~

- There is only two people who can take the title from Kash on Asylum me thinks...

XTREME TITLE LAST MAN STANDING MATCH
John Dionysus © Vs Michael Harris

~~~

- He's done it before and I'm sure he'll do it, again. John Dionysus is slightly underrated in general. Great talent.

BALL ROOM BRAWL
Nick Watson Vs AC Smith Vs Billy Pepsi Vs Johnny Sykes Vs Yarmouth vs. Dita Morgan

~~~

- Fun fact this match only happens if I write it.


SINGLES MATCH
Mike Morrison Vs Rico Casteel

~~~

- 50/50 but I'll go with CJ Gate's character just cause it's CJ Gates.

OVERDRIVE CHAMPIONSHIP
Terry Marvin © Vs Keaton Saint

~~~

- Great match up here. Two top talents and easily main-eventers here. I'll go with Terry just because he's been on a roll as of late but wouldn't be shocked to see Keaton win, either.

SINGLES MATCH
Donovan Caine Vs Isamu Suzuki

~~~

- He wears face paint.

TAP OUT TITLE MATCH
Anthony Bailey © Vs Matt Matlock

~~~

- Remember when I said one of two people could beat Kash? Well Anthony is one of them. I think he picks up the W, here.

SINGLES MATCH
Chris Hart Vs Delikado

~~~

- Hats of to both of these guys for a wonderful feud. I think Chris Hart is going to prevail in this one, though.

NON TITLE MATCH
Michael Callahan Vs Sally Talfourd

~~~

- And of course Sally Talfourd is the second one. Micheal Callahan is good but Sally Talfourd is Sally Talfourd@ ;D I love her... as in, I love the fact she's not on Overdrive of course!

TRIPLE THREAT TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
The Stud Muffins © Vs Sindicate Vs The Ass Kickers Anonymous

- Almost voted the AKA, honest. Heh, thanks for the dance Biggs! Good luck!

APW NORTH AMERICAN TITLE
Evan Envi Vs Sam Packer

~~~

- See you on Overdrive, Mr. Envi?

UNDISPUTED MATCH
Kurt Noble © Vs CJ Gates

- The champion retains here, I think. Regardless, it's going to be one hell of a match these two have told a great story thus far and I'm looking forward to seeing how it all plays out.
