Weekly Rankings Recap - 6/4/2017

Another great card at Supercard 94: Red Reign. The league is running a heavy schedule, and it's achieving a whole lot in a short space of time! The pace and unpredictability is starting to remind me of the league's first year. The turnover of Undisputed Champions is very reminiscent of year one. By June there were five title changes, and four title holders in 2011. 2017 is the only year to replicate that so far, but could still reach the high of six title changes, established in 2012.

I'm interested to see where ElJobber can go with the Undisputed Championship. Despite his tenure and status, he's never had a definitive run. I was rooting for Damo and was pleased to see him fight a very competitive match. He still looks very viable as a challenger after fighting strong.

The_Purple_Bunny has a major case for contention after his +29 impact win over CaTigeReptile! I did not expect CTR to be put away so decisively. I really believe she's overdue another shot at the big one, but the timing has to be right. A similar story for "Red Nightmare" LordSkarlet, who may've walked out of the Steel Cage victorious on Sunday -- but he took more damage than the guy he beat! That's the damndest thing I've ever seen!

After the cage at The Spring Classic, and the MAX Damage he took at Supercard 93, I really think LordSkarlet needs to take a solid month off for recovery. That isn't what The Red Reign needs right now, but the price of continuing could cost LordSkarlet dearly! Is continuing their rivalry with The United really worth that? I'm not so sure. I think it's nearing the end of its course.

I thought Genku and The Invasion were gearing up to be the next big force on the scene, but I'm starting to have my doubts. Not because they got beat up during this week's Friday Night Fights, but because Genku is already turning on his best men. I sometimes think if Genku was lost in the desert, he'd turn down water! Recruiting back-up was a pretty smart choice. Lets see if he sticks the landing.

CCShadow & Scott-Howell really stuck the landing in their Duo Division Championship defense against The Pacific Connection! It looks like Oozaru & Banging may have spent their last chip on that one. I was rooting for them, but the new boys are just too good! I'd love to see these teams reconvene somewhere down the line, but for now, I'm keen to see who can give both teams a run for their money. I've gotta think Jason_Voorhees & edge will be gunning for one of them!
