- Own Match || No Vote -

Test for the Best Qualifier
Match Two
Jair Hopkins & "The Killerplauze" Stefan Raab vs. Gabriel Anslem & "The Soul of Philly" TJ
Reason: TJ has been building his character very well these last few weeks, and Kane (Gabriel) is just a stunning RPer with Main Event level talent. Nothing against their opponents, I just think that Anslem himself will go VERY far into Test For the Best.

Bonus:
Anslem pins Raab

Match Three
"The Hitman" Steve Stryker vs. Yarmouth
Reason: Good competition in this match but I have to go with The Hitman on this one. Exponentially close though.

Six-Person Tag Match
Main Event
Carmen Rivera, Kyle Goodburn & Evan Envi vs. Mystery Opponent, Shadow & "The Wild Child" Dita Morgan
Reason: Nothing personal to Dita & Shadow, but... well, the teams are almost unfair in some sense. I personally view Envi & Rivera as THE top RPers on Meltdown atm. Goodburn is very close to top rankings as well. It's going to take one hell of a mystery opponent to offset them.

No-Disqualification
Match One
Cameron Wolves vs. "The Sidewinder" Benny Horrowitz
Reason: Very close (evident of the tie last week), though I do feel that Horrowitz RPs substantially better as Callahan and I have a feeling that Brett/Wolves may up his game slightly this week and edge out the victory.

Test for the Best Qualifier
Match Two
Jair Hopkins & "The Killerplauze" Stefan Raab vs. Gabriel Anslem & "The Soul of Philly" TJ

Bonus:

My match, good luck to Hopkins and Raab, let's make this close.

Match Three
"The Hitman" Steve Stryker vs. Yarmouth
Reason: I've read a bit from both of these and believe it will be quite a close match, but I'm backing Yarmouth for this one (only just).

Six-Person Tag Match
Main Event
Carmen Rivera, Kyle Goodburn & Evan Envi vs. Mystery Opponent, Shadow & "The Wild Child" Dita Morgan
Reason: Though it can often weaken the RPs when an opponent is unknown, I feel that these three are amongst the best (if not the best) that the show currently has to offer (even if I'm ripping on Envi in RPs because, hey, my character's a greedy arsehole) and I think their talent will garner them the victory. That said, I'll admit I'm not very familiar with Shadow's or Morgan's work so they might prove me to be wrong.

Match One
Cameron Wolves vs. "The Sidewinder" Benny Horrowitz
I loved the rps from the last match (Sorry again for the writeup) and I'm writing this match again. (Will be done tomorrow morning/afternoon) but if I had to draft one of these guys to help build a new show? Wolves takes the cake.

Test for the Best Qualifier
Match Two
Jair Hopkins & "The Killerplauze" Stefan Raab vs. Gabriel Anslem & "The Soul of Philly" TJ
Can't hate on Anselm, he uses my "Money Shot" Rolling Elbow as his Finisher. Talk about Flattering! Haha! Plus he has the big man of Meltdown on his side for this match. Can't go wrong with them working as a team.

Bonus:
Who Pins Who to Win the Match?
Anselm pins "Jair-Jair" Binks...I mean Hopkins!

Match Three
"The Hitman" Steve Stryker vs. Yarmouth
While I am enjoying Yarmouth's progression and that he took some advice I gave him to make Yarmouth more himself, he has a bit to go before he really begins to feel the progression. He could steal this and prove me wrong though. Maybe he is ready.

Six-Person Tag Match
Main Event
Carmen Rivera, Kyle Goodburn & Evan Envi vs. Mystery Opponent, Shadow & "The Wild Child" Dita Morgan
Never can tell who a Mystery Opponent will be but I know that with Envi and Goodburn, you can't go wrong. However Dita Morgan know this: I can be "Persuaded" to change my vote. Call Me!
