staRankings --- Jan. 30th Edition

[Stare]

The following are the top 5 superstars from this week's Blitz!

1. _the j-man[/u][/color] --- Had the most impressive victory of the three men that will be in the triple threat, and capitalized off of that by being the man left standing when the three collided after the Soul Reaper/Starcrunch match.

2. Cactus --- Nothing like having the momentum heading into your World Title match. Cactus laid out Soundscream after the Main Event, and then made the shocking announcement that their match would be inside a Barbed Wire Hell In A Cell! Many now favor Cactus to win, being that this environment suits him.

3. Barry Bryant --- He certainely seemed to be throwing his weight around more than usual. He named a match for Blitz!, putting Nihei & Spackle against Vegeta and the International Champion, Chilly Willy. But, before pissing off Nihei and Spackle, he named Cactus as the special referee for the main event.

4. Soundscream --- Successfully defended his World Title against J.T. Blade, even with Cactus as the special referee. With the odds stacked against him, overcoming them has gained him the #4 spot.

5. SoL/Soul Reaper[/u][/color] --- These two men tie. They both won their matches, and put on quite a showing of dominance doing it.

I like this concept in the likeness of WWE's Top 25 list. The rankings are cool, save for number one and number four spots. Having Soundscream rank below a fanatic contender, his main nemesis and a man who doesn't even wrestle...well......

Having the World Champion at anything other than number one or two kind of undermines the grandest prize of them all, don't you think?

Think back to when Batista and Cena were the two champions. How many times did you see Mark Henry or Kurt Angle or Jonathan Coachman ranked above Cena or Batista?

EDIT: Maybe a Power 15 featuring athletes from both brands is in order here.

EDIT 2: And in case you were wondering about the references in that second to last stanza there, in terms of skill, decency and overall quality, Cactus would be likened to Angle, Barry Bryant to the Coach, and well......

The staRankings are determined by the Impact that was made on Blitz!

It is NOT their standings in the company.

I am planning on having a "Standings" thread, it will more than likely be added on to the roster thread

[brockandsable]

Okay, cool.

[Scream]

Agreed E2. I should be #1 on every category and list on Blitz. That's a fact.

[brockandsable]

Either that or the script should be written so that you make the biggest impact each week, (as long you're the champion, anyway) because it gives the Soundscream character, as well as the championship title that much more wooohah!

[Cactus]

But when he gets whupped it is not that long for him to fall

[Stare]

The champion is always made to look like the underdog. It's just a good storyline tactic. Having hte title make the champ look dominant. If he looked dominant heading into his match, everyone would laugh at the contender's chances, and would be uninterested.

[Faster Pussycat!]

What if you have a heel champion?
What if the contender is the underdog?

[Stare]

Well, you still have to give the contender some credibility, or it's looked on as a joke.

But, it's not as important with a heel champ

[_the j-man]

Give it a couple months. I'll be the Most Dominate Champion in P2PW history. Just ask Chilly Willy

[Cactus]

I asked him, he said no ;D

[Scream]

Your stamina wouldn't last J. You need to quit the weed and start eating your vitamins.

[_the j-man]

Who the fuck are you dude? Hulk Hogan? And for Cactus, good one. That's a witty reply. And for Soundscream... I hope you lose.
