Just watch, Bazza's gonna turn him into Masked Rider and give him the Black RX theme. :allears:

I've been saying for weeks that The Practice robotization plot gives Bazza the perfect excuse to re-tool Segata, since they can literally do a beat-for-beat recreation of the origins of Kamen Rider 1. (Gets kidnapped, gets cyborgified, breaks out and raises hell)

The Black RX theme is pretty choice, but nothin' beats ol' Kamen Rider '71 for an intro. He can even have a bike! :yayclod:

DK has had the roughest transition to 2K14. He lost the face, he lost The Big Monkey, he lost the momentum he built up with his '13 streak. Now he's lost the rap.

Their theme song does suck (Dwayne and Brando are in that list of terrible rappers that nerds like because they talk about VIDEO GAMEZ), but that's the point. As is the point of the DK rap.

They might be so bad they wrap around to being good, but it doesn't matter how you got to being good, only that you wind up there. And the DK and Dragons raps are good.

Lots of wrestlers have entrance themes that are just SO BAD they kind of help define them. Randy Orton comes to mind.

Half of the character of The Dragons is their theme. If it suddenly switched to chiptunes or something it would be a downer.

Bazza probably sees he can build up to a big pop by withholding the DK Rap and then busting it out at a key moment in DKs career.

I'm surprised at the massive amount of votes Ganondorf and Illidan are getting. Well, Illidan not so much, I'd be happy to see him get a shot, but Ganondorf? Guess people want to see a 4-time champion.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

A new theme or a new look can do massive amounts of good for a character who needs it. Just look at Ezio! Zero to hero and all it took was a character model update. No one even cares that he's lost his last 10 matches (Drac First Blood screwjob included) and they're voting him in for EC.

It comes and goes. A year ago, Ganondorf was at the brink of overexposure. At the peak of it, he was a three-time ex-VGCW champion, tag team champion and was booked for the belt at EG3, in addition to all the plotlines he was involved in. When he failed to get the belt for a fourth time, the general sentiment was that he should take some time off from title pursuits to let other people step up. Well, he did that and then some, and if there's one thing the audience loves, it's a character paying his dues. Ganon would never have gotten this many votes six months ago, but a year has passed. People want him to have a chance.

Ganon is an institution and gives the title legitimacy, IMO.

He did the same thing with AVGN and used that horrible instrumental version for a while before changing it back. The hype was pretty real when it did come back, though.

Pretty much what I would have said. Ganon hasn't been in the title scene since before the 2k14 era, and it's seemed like every time he claws his way back to the top, he runs into another setback like Duke or Guile. Now that he's back in the top ten, people feel like it's time for more years of darkness.

Dr. Abysmal posted:

Yeah, with the loss to Gray Fox, I agree this will probably be Phoenix's last chance for a while. Let him go for one more shot, then give other guys a chance for a while. Despite appearing in several title shots, he probably doesn't feel as overexposed as Ganon did a while back because he hasn't actually won any contender's matches yet.

I'm pretty sure Bazza just threw in everyone who isn't booked for the elimination chamber in that poll.

So I think we're probably getting Red VS Groose at the Chamber.

Meddle not in the affairs of dragons... for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
I had posted this on the VGCW forums, but here's the list of active wrestlers who aren't on the poll(based off the power ranking list):

Scorpion: (The champ)
Air Man: (The casual champ)
AVGN: ?
Little Mac: (Borged)
Protoman: (Too soon? Or plot involvement?)
Guile: (Fighting Cage)
Nappa: (Tag Champ?)
Vegeta: (Tag Champ?)
Sonic: (Too soon? Or plot involvement?)
Johnny Cage: (Fighting Guile)
Ness: (Fighting Scorps)
Sagat: (Fighting Bison)
Groose: ?
Knuckles: (Borged)
M. Bison: (Fighting Sagat)
Zangief: (Borged)
Segata: ?
Dr. Wily: ?
Red: ?
Dr. Eggman: ?
Dan: ?
Gary: ?

For the record, here's the current card for the Elimination Chamber broadcast:

Sagat vs. Bison (I Quit match)
Guile vs. Johnny Cage
Scorpion vs. Ness (VGCW Title Match)
The Elimination Chamber (VGCW Title #1 Contender match)

So, based on who was omitted from the poll, I can make a few guesses as to the remaining matches. I agree with the earlier sentiment about a Red vs. Groose match, since neither of them are on the list. I also think there's going to be a Co-Op Title bout(The Saiyans vs. unknown opponent), since Nappa and Vegeta aren't on the list either. Finally, I expect to see PRATs vs. Practice, a 3v3 tag match with Dan and the Dragons trying to get payback against Wily, Eggman, and one of their robo-clones. Or maybe the doctors themselves will be absent, and they'll end up facing Mecha-Gief, Robo-Knux, and Robo-Mac.
