Is it already that time again? You bet your ass it is. Time for five individual talents to enter the world of FACT or FICTION, but only one can be declared the winner. Since taking over in July one man has stood tale above his adversaries and continues to win over the audience. This month he returns to defend his title yet again, against four more who wish to claim the crown for themselves. They say a true champion is only defined by his title defenses so I couldn't possibly make this easy. I searched high and low for a wide range of competitors who would be able to go toe to toe and match wits with the best of the best. So I present you with this month's participants.
Our first participant has a complete disdain for the Punjabi Playboy so much in fact that he just dedicated an entire column to his untimely demise. I give you the "Khali Killing Kid" (don't abbreviate that one) Andy
Next up we have the only man who can make magenta look cool. Who am I kidding, no man makes magenta look cool. Representing the main page we have Plan. Per special request, all text from here on out will be in magenta for Plan.
Here we have the oldest young man writing columns today, who has been making a name for himself with his reflective looks on the good days of WCW. I give you the only and only....Benjamin Button
Our final challenger is here to make a statement and show everyone that his moniker is also a way of life. Here to claim the crown is the King_of_Kings
Lastly we have the returning champion and a man who has simply been on a mission since I've taking over this gig. He should need no introduction at this point, he is simply Super Chrisss
Question 1.) FACT or FICTION, the ending of the CM Punk/Undertaker match at Breaking Point should have been booked differently.
Andy: The World Heavyweight Championship match last Sunday was a bit of a let down for me, as it was given only ten measly minutes and it also took quite a while for it to get going. In my opinion, the finish was pretty pathetic. I mean, come on! The whole thing was pretty lame, and I wouldn’t go as far as to say the it was predictable, but I will say that I wasn’t one bit surprised at the outcome. What pissed me off even more about the situation, was that there were two restarts in a Championship match on the last Pay-Per-View, and there was one restart on this. Do the WWE not realise that they shouldn’t be repeating the same thing on consecutive Pay-Per-Views? Fair enough, it keeps The Undertaker looking strong, but it doesn’t do much good for CM Punks credibility. This should have been a clean finish, however it sets things up nicely for the next few weeks. Still, I’m going with FACT; this one should have been booked differently. Think about it.
Plan: As a Bret Hart fan I’m sure many people will already know how I feel about the situation. Montreal was, of course, a massive moment in wrestling history and as a Bret fan, yeah, I’m still bitter about it. I listen to a lot of people go on about how long ago it happened, how I should just get over it, let by-gones be by-gones…but then Montreal happened at Breaking Point.
I’m all for kayfabe screwjobs if it helps WWE get themselves out of corners they’ve stupidly booked themselves into it. It’s not the most creative solution and hardly a stretch of the imagination to come up with, but it works. What I have a problem with is how the WWE insist on revisiting Montreal when they’re fully aware how embittered certain people and fans remain about it.
It’s become boring, repetitive and a barrier doing Bret fans absolutely no favours in trying to move past what happened 12 years ago. Get over it? Fuck you. FACT.
Benjamin Button:FACT: I give them credit for having a screw-job finish, as it’s too early in the feud for CM Punk to get a clean win, especially by submission, and the Undertaker shouldn’t have won, because this is CM Punk’s third title reign. He needs this to be his definitive reign, which brings me to my point. My problem is "how" they decided to screw Undertaker. In Montreal they chose to use a finish that is a major part of HBK and Hart’s history. Sure they didn’t use the sharpshooter, but everyone knows what they’re playing on. Having Punk and Undertaker reliving others’ pasts does not help Punk distinguish himself. Punk needs to make his own history.
King_of_Kings I really get annoyed when continuity is only observed when people (the WWE or any other entity) think it works to their advantage. I say this because Undertaker could win fifty matches with the Hell's Gate and nothing would be said about it having been banned before, but when the WWE needs an easy out, they'll bring it up. I also don't like the idea of Teddy Long becoming a heel GM, but at the same time, I realize the WWE likes heel bosses and they don't have one at the moment as Tiffani is generally face and the guest hosts probably don't want to be booed so they're all face really (outside of WWE Legends).
That said, and while I may not have chosen to go the route the WWE went, I'm going to say FICTION, somebody obviously had to win the match and they had to do so in a way that wouldn't seem like a real end to the feud. So, they went the way they did and while it could have been booked differently (and maybe better), I don't necessarily think that it should have been booked differently as it got the job done.
*After seeing the most recent episode of SmackDown, the worst part about the way they ended the match is Long's reason for why he did what he did...but that's another issue for another time I guess.
Super ChrisssFICTION, but only if it had taken place anywhere but Montreal. People who saw the show live as well as countless members of the IWC have bitched and moaned about this 'screwjob' all-week long. However, one must consider WWE's dilemma. On one had, they had Punk, who was not only on fire as their biggest heel but had just come out the winner of his feud with Jeff Hardy. On the other hand you had Undertaker who hasn't wrestled a singles match since Wrestlemania 25, and has (almost) never tapped out in his entire WWE career. So how do they keep the title on Punk without having 'Taker submit? Rather than going the 'predictable' way and having Punk knock out the Deadman or something lame like that, they took a chance and went with a surprise ending. This way, not only does Punk keep the belt a bit longer, but his and Taker's credibility weren't even harmed. Heck, I'd even go as far as to say that WWE made one of their best booking decisions EVER at Breaking Point. That is a fact.
Question 2.) FACT or FICTION, there is nothing wrong with the ongoing Chavo/Hornswoggle feud.
Andy: Well, for Chavo there is absolutely nothing wrong with this farce because he’s getting paid to dress up and act silly, which is something any old schmuck can do. So basically, he’s an extremely well-paid clown. He’s not taking bumps and isn’t damaging his body, so in that sense it is good for him. Some may argue that it’s embarrassing and degrading for the Mexican Warrior, but would you really reject this angle if you were him? Personally, I’d rather be on television jobbing to a leprechaun than sitting at home eating tortillas and praying I wouldn’t be on the future endeavours list! And I’m sure that Hornswoggle isn’t complaining about the amount of air-time he is getting.
But apart from the odd juvenile, and immature or deranged adult, everyone else thinks this is absolutely pathetic-- and they’re right. Do we really want to see a little squirt like Hornswoggle take on Chavo Guerrero dressed up as a cow or with a sack over his head? No, I didn’t think so. We want to see actual wrestling with great storylines, not tripe like this. This is definitely FICTION.
Plan: It’s a feud? Really? I thought it was a joke. Chavo’s a joke. Hornswoggle’s a joke. The fact they continually take up air time on Raw every week is a joke. But then I hardly ever watch Raw end to end anymore. It’s about picking and choosing people! So I just skip over it. Nonetheless, is it really doing either man involved in it any favours career wise or making anyone invest in them emotionally as wrestlers? Hardly. FICTION.
Benjamin Button:FACT: Chavo has been, off and on, a comedy relief for a very long time. This keeps Chavo on TV, and some find it entertaining. Personally, I don’t, but hey, it’s a gig; Chavo will still be a solid mid carder when it’s over.
King_of_KingsFICTION: There is definitely something wrong. And beyond something being wrong, almost everything about it is wrong.
1. A normal wrestler is being buried by a midget.
2. A weak attempt at comedy is taking the place of actual wrestling or other things that would aid in the progression of a real storyline - you know, one that people might pay to see a match from.
3. It just keeps going...
Really, I see no reason for this storyline to get any TV time. My first point - a normal wrestler being buried by a midget - should automatically keep it off of TV. I don't think Hornswoggle is ever going to actually draw and so his TV time should be kept at a minimum and his wins at zero, but instead, he gets several minutes every week to beat Chavo? It doesn't make any sense. Give that time to the Divas or something, somebody who could actually use it and gain something from it.
Super ChrisssFICTION! What was the point of this rivalry? Find a way to keep Hornswoggle on our TV sets just to torture all their fans over the age of 12? Give Chavo something to do? If they were trying to get Hornswoggle over (for Lord knows WHY), then mission accomplished. If they wanted to murder and crucify all of Chavo's credibility, then the WWE achieved that as well. Rather than spending a good ten minutes on this worthless segment every week on RAW for the last few months or so, us WRESTLING fans could have been treated to longer mid-card or Diva matches, or even a Chavo-Boune feud, which could have been gold if booked properly. Way to go, WWE. You've just buried your RAW equivalent of Finlay, who could have been putting young talent over instead of a worthless midget. Way to fucking go.
Question 3.) FACT or FICTION, Bryan Danielson will be more successful than CM Punk in a WWE ring.
Andy: This totally depends on what style he is allowed to wrestle, and the character he is allowed to play. I believe that Danielson will impress a lot of us even more than CM Punk has, and ever will, but he will never achieve the amount of title reigns that Mr. Straightedge has. Therefore, if in this case the definition of “success” is amount of title reigns (which I believe it is), I’ve gotta’ go with FICTION. It’s straightforward, really.
Plan: It’s difficult to say. I have not seen much of Danielson but I dare say what I have seen in the ring shows me he’s a more exciting watch than the generally more solid Punk. I guess it boils down to a lot of things; opportunities, injuries…chance. It really is impossible to tell in my mind. Danielson has talent in a ring. I’ve never heard him speak so that much I can’t judge. Can I sit on the fence here? No? Damn. I’ll go for FICTION then, mainly in lieu of the giant success Punk has had over the last couple of years; World Tag titles, Intercontinental titles, ECW titles, World Heavyweight titles, Money in the Banks, victories over the companies marquee stars are gonna be pretty damned hard to beat.
I guess then you could say that Danielson may be AS successful, but I struggle to see him being MORE successful.
Benjamin Button:FICTION: Not saying Danielson won’t be successful, but someone “up=2 0there” has had a hand on CM Punk since he arrived. I remember reports of Vince McMahon being pleased with CM Punk’s performances back when he debuted with ECW in 2006. In just 3 years, CM Punk has held many championships, including 3 world titles. Very few stars have achieved this kind of success in the WWE is such a short period of time. While Danielson has the potential; it’s too early to assume that he will be more successful than Punk has been. Also, I’ve only seen Danielson in a couple of matches. He seemed to be outstanding, but he didn’t stand out to me quite as much as Punk did, the first couple of times I saw Punk.
King_of_Kings Honestly, I'm not your normal IWC person as I have seen nothing beyond ROH's first show and have seen very little indy stuff outside of that. So, that said, I have no idea what Danielson is capable of. However, based solely on how well Punk has done in his (as far as I know) only run/chance with the company and the fact that Danielson has been signed to/performed for the WWE before, I would have to say FICTION. Plus, the amount of ground Danielson would have to make up to even catch up to what Punk has done so far is a lot, add to that the fact that Punk is probably far from done and I don't see Danielson being more successful by the time they're both done. I could easily be wrong here, but I just don't see it happening.
Super Chrisss Again, this is FICTION people. Unless my memory isn't what it used to be, Danielson already had a shot to impress WWE officials, and he failed. CM Punk got a chance, and he took advantage of it. They gave him a push, and he pushed back, all the way to the top in three short years. Danielson is only getting another shot in the WWE because ROH and their fans made him into such a big deal. If Danielson can get over his size disadvantage and really make a splash this time around, there's no reason he can't get over, whether as a heel or a face. But still, Punk is a three-time World Champion and WWE's best heel at the moment. So between the two, it's not even close, and it never will be.
Question 4.) FACT or FICTION, at least two more ROH stars will be signed to a WWE contract before the end of the year.
Andy: I believe this to be FACT. The WWE tag-team division is an absolute shambles right now; it has improved slightly over the past few months, but it’s still awful. The Unified Tag-Team Champions at the minute are Chris Jericho and The Big Show, who are heels, of course. Very few in the WWE Universe are interested in Heel versus Heel matches, so the duo need a set of babyface’s to feud with. There are currently three babyface tag-teams on the roster at the moment-- Degeneration-X, Cryme Tyme, and the thrown-together team of MVP and Mark Henry. The latter are the ones after the gold right now, but do you really think they will capture it? Personally, I don’t. Then we have Cryme Tyme, who had their chances a short while back, and blew them. And there’s DX, who are currently involved in a bitter rivalry with Legacy. And when their feud culminates, it is inevitable that ‘The King of Kings’ and ‘The Heart Break Kid’ will go their separate ways once again. So then what?
The WWE needs a strong, entertaining and charismatic tag-team to challenge the champs, and who better than The Briscoe Brothers? Mark and Jay have definitely cut their teeth on the Indy circuit, and they have, in my opinion, got it all. They could be the guys to reinvigorate the failing tag-team division, and if Vince and his henchmen have noticed Bryan and Nigel, they would have noticed the talented siblings. Keep in mind that Vince isn’t a stupid guy. Yes, he may seem a bit delusional and not in touch with reality sometimes, but I’m sure he realises that these two could do wonders for his company. These two will be with the company by the time 2010 rolls around, and others will follow. So to reiterate: FACT.
Plan: I hope not. I have nothing against ROH and I’m sure the company has a great wealth of talent but I would hope the WWE is not limiting its scouting to one promotion that just so happens to air on the same night the Flagship airs. I am sure it would not be a bad thing if they did, but I would rather see some variety. Get some Brits in there or some Japanese wrestlers! Let us put the World back in World Wrestling Entertainment! I have no idea what my head is saying, but my heart wants to say FICTION.
Benjamin Button:FICTION: There’s not much for me to say here, except I believe the lateness in the year will prevent this from happening.
King_of_Kings Again, I don't watch much ROH, but given that there are only three months (and a half) left in the year, I don't think the WWE will sign many more wrestlers, I don't even think two will be from ROH, so I'll say FICTION.
Super Chrisss Finally, a FACT! If the WWE can successfully sign away two of ROH's biggest stars, there's no reason they can't take a few more. ROH signed their own death warrant by moving to Monday nights and having WWE take notice of them. Once other ROH wrestlers see that they're fighting on a sinking ship, I'm sure at least some of them will be wise enough to get out while the going's good. As Hustle would say, R.I.P. ROH.
Question 5.) FACT or FICTION, it's more helpful for Indy stars to keep their established name rather than change it once signing to a major federation.
Andy: You have got to keep in mind that all Indy followers are a different type of fan than those of WWE and TNA. By that, I mean that they will know what’s happening behind the scenes in the pro-wrestling world and it won’t matter to them whether a superstars name is John Smith or Hank Foster. Also, most WWE and TNA fans don’t follow the independent promotions to start with, so say if Tyler Black made his way to TNA, he would probably get the same reaction if his name was Butcher White. Take for instance Scotty Goldman. He was one of the stand-outs in the Indy’s as Colt Cabana, but when he came to the WWE, most of the fans (apart from the ‘smarks’ didn’t know who the hell he was, and I’m sure it would have been the same had he kept his Indy name. Hence why I’m going for FICTION.
Plan: A guy is renowned in the Indy promotions, moves over to TNA or WWE, changes his name. The result would be confusion, loyal fans getting pissed at the promotion more than likely and, of course, the fans of the new promotion unable to research the new addition to their chosen company.
A guy is renowned in the Indy promotions, moves over to TNA or WWE, keeps his name. The result would be consistency and a past for the new acquisition. In kayfabe terms, they have a past that could be exploited should storylines allow/need it. Loyal fans become less pissed, more excited and new fans loyal to the major promotion have a name that they can easily research.
FACT.
Benjamin Button:FACT: As a general rule, with some exceptions, I believe it’s better for a guy to come in with a small following than no following at all. Also, even fans who have not personally seen the debuting former indy star may have heard of him from their friends. Or maybe they’ve just heard the name. Maybe they will ask themselves, “Where have I heard of him before?” That’s better than saying, “Who the hell is this guy?”
King_of_Kings I think that for the wrestler, it's more helpful, but for the company it doesn't matter. Let's use Bryan Danielson as an example: anybody who's extremely familiar with his work in ROH or on other indy shows knows that he has signed with the WWE and they'll either watch to see him or they won't. However, to normal fans, if he debuts as Bryan Danielson, it'll mean about as much as if he debuts as Daniel Bryanson. Overall, regardless of whose perspective you look at it from, I'm going to say FICTION because it doesn't really matter for the company and, at the end of the day, I don't think it will really matter for the wrestler.
Super Chrisss What is this, Indy Fact or Fiction? Oh, well, at least it's not about WCW (yark). Judging by some wrestlers' former ring names (Kofi Jamaica, anybody?), they should be thrilled that Vince decides to Christen them with new identities. Considering how most Indy names are absolutely HORRENDUOUS, and only a select few superstars and divas know how to properly identify themselves, I'm going with FACT on this one. After all, could you imagine trying to push a guy who stole his ring name off the cover of a cereal box? Good fucking luck!
Question 6.) FACT or FICTION, Austin Aries is the best worker in the Independent scene.
Andy:FACT all the way. I mean, now that Nigel and Bryan are away, there aren’t many that could challenge him. Who else do we have? The aforementioned Tyler Black? Chris Hero? Naruki Doi? None of them are close to Austin Aries at this present time. The one thing that stops Aries from being the complete package, and the one thing that lets him down is his attitude. Even though he has seemingly toned it down slightly, I still feel he could go off the rails and put his company in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. The aforementioned wrestlers have a much better attitude, but Aries is still the best worker. Plain and simple.
Plan: Don’t know and struggle to care. Let’s flip a coin.
…
FICTION.
Benjamin Button: FICTION: I don’t keep up with the indy circuit as much these days as I have in the past, but in good faith I will say that somebody out there is better than Aeries. He wasn’t the best in Ring of Honor in his first stint, he wasn’t the best in the X division, and I doubt he’s the best in the ROH now, much less the entire indy circuit.
King_of_Kings I honestly can't say one way or the other. However, I just realized that I've said fiction on every other ForF so...I'll say FICTION just to remain consistent and for no actual reason outside of that.
Super Chrisss I've never seen the guy compete, so I'm going with FICTION. Besides, anybody can be the 'best'. Chris Jericho could be considered WWE's 'best' worker because he can put on a stellar match against just about any opponent, but then again, so can Shawn Michaels. 'Best' is just too damn vague.
BONUS ROUND
Question 1.) In your opinion, what was the greatest wrestling moment to witness as a fan.
Andy: Ohhh. There are a few that spring to mind such as The Montreal Screwjob, Hulk Hogan turning heel and forming the NWO, and Andre The Giant getting body slammed! But I would have to say that the greatest wrestling moment to witness as a fan, was Mae Young giving birth to a hand. Nah, I’m just playin’. Mankind falling onto an announce table from near twenty-feet seems to be a popular one, as does The Rock and Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania X8 in Canada. For me though, the greatest moment to witness as a wrestling fan was Ric Flair’s final match, or should I say; his supposed final match.
Funnily enough, it was the first ever ‘Mania which I had watched live, and I was blown-away by how god it was. Now I was never a big fan of Ric Flair, and I would even say that he is overrated, but the emotion in the match and what it meant to both men, their families, and the fans watching all across the globe was phenomenal. Shawn Michaels putting the final nail in Ric’s coffin by means of Sweet Chin Music was something I will never forget, and it has been my greatest wrestling moment to witness thus far. Anyone agree?
Plan: These are some tough bonus questions for sure! So many moments, so much history…. Due to it being as a fan I’m going to consider the moments I experienced as a “mark” and that really narrows it down to two.
Mr McMahon revealing himself as the Higher Power is one choice. As a nine year old at the time I was shocked, appalled and amazed at the deviousness of it all! I still remember watching the clips on Saturday morning during Livewire or whatever clip show it was way back when and being just totally stunned by it. This nine year old’s money thought it was so obviously Shane that when it turned out to be Vince all along….
But I think I can’t go for that. For me, as a “mark”, it was Backlash 2000 when after over a year The Rock finally won back the WWF(E) Championship. During that night never had I been so emotionally involved into a match and at the age of ten I felt like, without Stone Cold around, if Triple H held onto that belt my world would come to a darkened end. But luckily, despite such overwhelming and destructive odds, The Rock overcame adversity, defeated that bastard Triple H and I could breath easy again.
Benjamin Button: Survivor Series 1998: You had all the top stars gunning for the belt in a one night tournament. From start to finish you sat on the edge of your seat with suspense, wondering who would walk out champion. Most of the first round matches were grudge matches. There were many surprises, including referee Shane McMahon’s famous middle finger to Austin during the Austin and Mankind semi-final, and Mankind's upset win.
The best part was seeing the McMahons' betray Mankind and help the Rock win his first world title. Throughout the night the night the Rock had been receiving what was perceived to be inadvertent help from Vince’s stooge, the Big Boss Man. When the Rock came out on in the tournament, you knew something was about to happen, something you weren’ t expecting. The well crafted tournament and the pleasant surprises gave you a surreal buzz.
King_of_Kings I'm tempted to say something from WCW, but I don't know, I'll just go with something more recent and say when Punk cashed in Money in the Bank on Edge as I didn't see it coming for some reason and when Punk's music hit, I actually got excited for the first time in a long time while watching wrestling. So for that and the fact that it featured two of my favorites in Punk and Edge, I'll say that was the greatest moment for me - at least post-WCW I think - because I watch wrestling for entertainment and that seems to be really rare over the last few years.
Super Chrisss For me, it was CM Punk cashing in his MitB briefcase for the very first time against Edge and winning the belt. That was complete markdom at it's best. I must have watched the replay a good 30 times on YouTube and wwe.com. It was so unexpected yet so deserving (at the time).
Question 2.) What is the best non-PPV match you've ever seen? Give details.
Andy: I know this may sound a bit cliché and boring, but the best non-Pay-Per-View match I have ever saw is the John Cena and Shawn Michaels match on Monday Night RAW from London in 2007. The match had everything; from straight-out brawling, mat-based wrestling, drama, a great story behind it, emotion, and a heavy interest from the live English crowd. It was a good, honest sixty minute wrestling bout. I had stayed up until 4am to watch the bout, and I’m glad I did. If you have a spare hour on your hands some day, I advise that you go check it out if you haven’t already done so.
Plan: Another toughie. There’s so many from this year alone I could choose! The chances of me actually finding the best is next to impossible; it is not only subjective but there’s been so many non-ppv bouts I defy anyone to claim to have seen every single one of them. All I can do is go on my best memory and right now there’s only one bout springing to mind.
Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit inside a Steel Cage on Raw sometime in 2001. Stone Cold was guest commentating alongside JR and Heyman and that in itself was incredibly entertaining, while the match had some insane spots in; a diving headbutt off the top of the Cage, a moonsault off the top of the Cage, a German suplex off the top rope; it’s just a sick, sick match. In fact, I may go watch it right now.
I don’t remember seeing it at the time but it was last year that I first encountered it and I was left stunned and amazed. I have lamented how often the WWE like to break the Cage out as, in my mind, it is too often and usually leaves me at least feeling disappointed. But the bout above is one of few Cage matches I remember that, as far as I recall anyway, had no bleeding in but more than made up for it through its vicious and unrelenting physicality. Not only is it a tribute to the talent both men involved possessed inside a wrestling ring, it’s also a tribute to how amazing a Cage match that ticks the right boxes can truly be; absolutely spectacular.
Benjamin Button: Sting vs. Flair at the first Clash of Champions in 1988: Sure I was too young to see it when it took place, but I’ve watched it on VCR tapes and DVD’s countless times over the last two decades. Certainly, they both brought the ring presence, the match had the fans into it and it felt like a pay-per-view encounter. They were up against Wrestle-Mania 4; they had to deliver. The two gave all they had. Flair would often slow the pace down with submissions, but Sting would break free and hit Flair with a series of high impact moves. The match went back and forth like this, but the moves got better as the match progressed. Despite this one ending in a time limit draw, it put young Sting on the map because he went the distance with the reputable NWA champion. It was a rocky story.
King_of_Kings I have no idea what to answer that with.
To go with something recent, just off the top of my head, I'd probably say Edge vs. Randy Orton the week after Cena vs. Michaels went for an hour (which would also be another great non-PPV match because I kept expecting it to end). It was a really good match that was overshadowed by Cena and Michaels I think and thus, didn't get the credit it deserved. That sucked for them because it was a really good match from what I remember.
Super Chrisss It would have to be the 8-man tag-team match on ECW the week after Wrestlemania 23. It was more or less the final match of an excellent rivalry between the New Breed (Matt Striker, Marcus cor Von, Kevin Thorne, and Elijah Burke) and the ECW Originals (Tommy Dreamer, Sandman, Sabu, and Rob van Dam). While their WM match was short and mediocre, this televised rematch more than made up for it. Eight guys attacking each other with weapons is always fun to watch. Add in a sick ending which saw Burke wreck Sabu through a table with both knees, and you had a MOTY contender right there. It's a shame that only two of the match participants are still employed by the WWE today.
Well there you have it, everybody has pleaded their case. Will we have a new champion or will Super Chrisss once again reign supreme. That's not my call to make, as it is up to YOU to decide who you want to return next month. You can do that simply by sending an email to monkeyweasel9821@yahoo.com and saying who you think should come back next time as champion. I will accept all votes that are sent prior to October 5th.
Until next time, I'm Doc Monk and the truth always lies in front of you.
