Phoenix was the last member of the Drac Pack, and he'll be one to bring him to justice for his crimes in Season 4. How poetic.

Can Phoenix go 10-0? We'll find out tonight.

Well, Waluigi beat Dracula, and Waluigi also beat Scorpion, so I'm not so sure! :v:

Dracula always puts on great matches, though. I just don't think he has much of a shot against Nick.

Required by his programming!
Phoenix's combination of a goddamn near unblockable finisher (it IS blockable, but the AI has a hard time with it and it comes out super quick) and the incredibly powerful Hulk Hogan comeback means I'm putting my bookie money on him, yeah.

That said, we've seen Dracula shut people down before.

My money's on Phoenix continuing his streak, but Dracula's been on something of a tear lately, so we could easily see another upset. Either way, it should be a pretty entertaining match.

No matter who wins, it's going to be hype as hell.

But I'm rooting for Phoenix just so we can get The Streak vs The Title. :getin:

Scorpion has I think one of the best ways to shut Nick down with the Superkick it seems like, in the multi-man a few weeks back he basically clowned Nick whenever they were against each other.

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
If Phoenix wins, I want Sonic to cash in before Phoenix vs. Scorpion, because I don't want Scorpion to lose the title on his first defense, but I also really, really, really don't want The Streak to end.

Wouldn't that also just be losing it on his first defense? :v:

This match is to set up that first scheduled title defense after all.

Have we ever seen a title change hands twice in one night?

Rude Semprini

Ow. Right in the self esteem.
Dracula's had an interesting career since he came back after getting Little Mac'd. He lost to Bowser, which is fair enough, then he lost to Ezio in the famous ref screw-up, then lost to Red in that fatal four way. Since then, he's been on kind of a roll, winning 6 of his last 7 matches, the loss being to Waluigi in a TLC match.

The only issue is that the guys he's been fighting aren't exactly top carders apart from perhaps Segata. He's beaten Bison, Ezio, Dan and Barret as well in singles. So not major names. So he's got something to prove by going against the unstoppable Phoenix. If he can actually pull it off, there's no doubting that Drac deserves a place in a Championship match.

That said, he's not in a real mess if he does lose. Losing to Phoenix at this point carries the same feeling of losing to Ganondorf or Bowser, it's not exactly unexpected.

Quick Edit:

The infamous cash in. Kratos won the championship from Adam Jensen. Then Little Mac cashed in the MITB, and Kratos lost. He holds the record for the shortest title reign in VGCW, at 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

Long ago, Kratos beat Adam. Then Mac cashed in and beat Kratos, exiling him to the developmentals for all eternity.

Well VGCW was confirmed to be canon to the Hoopz Barkley expanded universe by Tales of Game's during a podcast. They said that it takes place before the 2041 and Barkley's pro-wrestling career is not unprecedented, as Michael Jordan once left to NBA to play minor league baseball.

First I've heard of this, that's pretty awesome.

Ah...I might need to rework the Wiki page on the Glitch Bomb as I noted that as being a Verboten Jam and that it's disaster would bring about a second b-ball purge (or rather a Sports Entertainment Purge).
