I just like turning in good quality stuff; I think I've made a decent name off of being a quality debater even when I was in the midst of losing a bunch in a row to WOOLCOCK, Evo and TLK (tag team bull-ish don't count). Win or lose, as long as it's "good" and earns the respect of the other participants, I'm cool.

Magic, just remember that I've consistently told you what a good debater you are and that I actually take the time to read all of your debates. That speaks volumes considering that I rarely bother to read the other Yank sports debates. If I rate you then that means you're legit, regardless of what others say. End of.

Let's also not dismiss the notion that you could win this match. You definitely have a good chance in my opinion. The fact that the judges all see it as being very close confirms as much. Let's put it this way; in every other sports match that I've had during this current title run (five in total I believe) I've been 100% confident of a win. This time? Not so much.

As far as being third on the card? I'd put that down to the high number of quality match ups on the card. If this had taken place at say TDL I, II, IV, XII or even at XI with me facing you instead of Mac then it would have main evented. The positioning of our match on this card (LOL at how serious this sounds) says a great deal more about the perception of the sports title which is often shunted downwards despite the generally consistent stellar quality offerings that the top half of the division brings. The sports title should definitely be at the top of the card more often imo, regardless of whether I'm the champion in the future. Bulk vs Magic please.

Regardless, it seems that "we've" built this up towards unofficial "main event" status in spite of the match's card positioning and the fact that I've completely no sold the feud and the match build up until now :lol. It has already been predicted as the potential MOTN by many and it seems to have piqued a great deal of interest.

In short, the sports division is the grossly underrated gem of TDL and I believe that we're both about to prove that, regardless of the result. If I win then it will be my "proudest" victory, even a much bigger victory than beating Mac (I'll tell you why if I win). If you win, then you've proved everybody wrong, apart from me because I've had far too much respect for you to dismiss you and you KNOW that.

Results please :mark:

Mea culpa on that one. When I saw we were aiming for Sunday/Monday as opposed to Friday, I figured I'd have time after returning from Blackpool on Sunday afternoon, save rushing my judging to get it done before I left early Friday afternoon. Of course after a relentless two days of copious drinking, I was pretty much drained for most of yesterday and wasn't up to it. I'll have my judging in tonight.

Sorry for the wait for anyone anxiously wanting the results :eek:

Also, with respect to the clarity of my question - When you say guys who aren't getting "great reactions" at live events versus guys who are getting "much more positive reactions"... are you referring strictly to a wrestler's heat, face or heel, or only guys that get face (aka "positive") reactions?

TLK, as my LONG-TIME PARTNER and GOOD FRIEND, I wish you nothing but the best of luck on this card, especially given your double-duty challenge. Part of me wishes it was me vs. you, no distractions. However, knowing the quality of debater (and HUMAN BEING, generally) that you are, I have no doubts that you'll bring your absolute best in both contests.
