For the first time ever in WZCW history, Unscripted and the Roulette Rounds were featured back-to-back. However, despite crowning three new champions at Unscripted, does the landscape really look all that different? Let me know what you think. We want to hear your voice, WZCW Universe.

1.) Out of all the surprise returns, which one did you enjoy the most?

2.) This year we saw two champions meet face-to-face in the main event of Meltdown Madness. Next year, would you like to see every championship defended no matter what? The opponents would be randomized, but the titles would all be on the line (guaranteed).

3.) Who benefited the most from the last two rounds?

(Please keep in mind that discussions in the WZCW.com area are to be within the confines of kayfabe. Please refrain from bringing up issues like match length, typos, formatting, or etc.)

[Showtime]

1) I enjoyed the return of Titus the most. As to who had the best return, hands down the good (or bad) Dr. Zeus.

2) Yes

3) Eve Taylor, who now has 2 title matches coming up in the next few rounds.

Honourable mention goes to Noah Ryder, who was able to defeat himself this past roulette round. A rare feat.Feel free to edit this out Kermit.

 

[Bernkastel]

1.) SHIT definitely. Miko has proven himself time and time to be one of the best RP'ers in the fed. And somehow always manages to keep SHIT looking pretty fresh. Titus would be my runner up. First HOFamer to compete full time.

2.) Yes.

3.) Chris KO has a ton of momentum after 2 well fought back to back title defenses. I'd say Eve Taylor as a runner up. Sure, she's earned two titles shots, but she has to go through her stablemates for one of them. Not exactly the easiest thing to do.

 

[Con T.]

1. The fed doesn't quite feel like the fed when Titus isn't around or S.H.I.T> is gone.

Maybe it's my own biases because I came into the fed the same round Titus returned (the buildup to KC V), but Titus always has a sort of nostalgia for me. S.H.I.T. does, as well, and it's always great to see Miko writing. I think the only reason (and it's a dumb one) that I'm going to go with Titus is because we did see S.H.I.T. have an awesome run with Hard Metal Penetration. Titus had more of a shock value, because I had no clue he was returning. S.H.I.T. I kinda, sorta, maybe guessed at when I was told these rounds would have a lot of returns, but I never expected Titus, in the slightest.

2. I mean, initially I would say yes. But then again, that also gives the distinct possibility of double champions in the fed, and I'm not really a huge fan of the idea. I just think it makes more sense to keep your belts on different people, and we have just enough belts to spread around. Having Dorian get both the Elite X Title and World Title would have put the rocket on his back, but it also gets a little redundant. Then, you have the possibility of a guy defending two titles at the PPV, and it just seems rather messy.

3. I was going to say Dorian Slaughter

Um, probably KO. I'm also looking at this from a writing standpoint, as well as a momentum standpoint. I'd also say Ramparte had a lot of momentum these two rounds. I'd say Cerberus as a whole, but Flex didn't have a match for the roulette rounds. Ramparte managed to defend the belts, beat Garth Black in a tables match, and now it seems like 3,263 members of the fed want in on the tag belts (only slight exaggeration). So there's going to be no end of fodder for his RP's, and really a lot of great matchups on the horizon.

I think you are missing the concept a little. Either that, or I explained it poorly. Each champion would defend. Meaning that they could not be paired up with another champion.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

I think everyone assumes you mean title for title Kermy.

 

[Kermit]

I can see where the confusion is stemming from based on my explanation.

 

[K Web V3]

1. I'm still fairly new, so the returns didn't have the same effect for me, but I'd have to go with Titus due to him bein a HOF'er

2. Most definitely

3. Gotta say Eve. Multiple title shots this round? #Win

 

[Dagger Dias]

1) Titus. I liked all of the returns, but it's never a bad thing to have a legend on the roster. He would literally fit perfectly anywhere on the card. Awesome character too.


2) I want to see every title get defended at the Roulette Rounds. Maybe have it to where if two champions to end up in a match together, have one move one or two slots up/down so that each title goes up for grabs. This includes the tag team titles. Now, the question gets raised for what if a wrestler is unable to compete that round? The answer to that is #1 contenderships being up for grabs in place of the champion/team that was unable to compete that round. The new contender could then cash in for the following show or for the PPV. There was a lack of these types of opportunities at the 2014 Roulette, so this year's was a lot better, but as a fan I think the wrestlers would benefit from every title being guaranteed to either be up for grabs itself or have a contendership getting awarded via the roulette.


3) Eve Taylor. She has a Tag Team AND an Elite X opportunity. That's awesome.
