Lone Wolf pack, it’s your buddy Scooter Munson here with
another look at the Popular and Hated polls, bringing you some insider analysis
at the story of the rankings for this month!
Starting things off, we’ll take a look at the evil side of things. Jumping up two spots from last month and topping off the poll is “The Devil” Keith Voss, as things have begun to take an interesting turn in his feud with Jakey Oh Baby! As we saw on Lone Wolf TV, a very interesting challenge was made for Warpath which holds more than just pride at stake: will Voss get a brand new member of the Reign of Terror, or will he have to choose one of his own partners to be Jakey’s personal assistant for two months? Dropping one spot down yet still prevalent in the fans’ minds is poll mainstay Ali Atari. Not only did he win the Penny Barber New Year’s Challenge (get well soon, Penny!) by outlasting a slew of talent, he also crafted a response towards Jamie Montgomery’s training regiment by outlining his own gauntlet. Coming in third (but always in first in his own mind) is Starkiller. Getting a little payback in his attack on Vicious Tyrant as well as making his intentions known at Warpath against Honey Broadway served as gasoline to the fans’ forest fire of dislike for the mouthy athlete. Advancing a spot up to #4 is a man I was way off-target about last month. Francois Le’Chevalier, as much as some wanted to believe that he’d started to see the error of his arrogance, immediately acted to correct us by throwing a cigar at Jamie Montgomery and taking shots at some of the other veterans of Lone Wolf Wrestling. One has to think how much longer Konik and Big Rye can put up with his shade throwing, even though Konik claims that it is “Strictly Business” between the three! And finally, rounding out our list and making his debut on the Most Hated charts is none other than “Renegade” Slade Stevens. Speaking of Konik, Stevens has diverted a good portion of his attention to becoming a thorn in his side, taking shots at his nationality with some childish attacks. One has to think that the Reign of Terror is just looking to expand their scope of enemies with such displays, but are they biting off more than they can chew?
And now, to the fan favorites! Taking the top spot away from Mr. Magnificent this month was “The Georgia Peach.” Putting his reputation on the line at Warpath was the likely result of this surge, as the situation could result in some dire consequences after the pay-per-view. In second is the experienced J. Montgomery holds steady to his popularity, as he ran the table on his Gauntlet challenge in preparation for the grudge match against the Arabian Dream. Coming in third is the flamboyant and friendly Honey Broadway. Honey is another competitor who is in preparation for a do-or-die challenge at Warpath. He has vowed that if he cannot defeat Starkiller, then he will hang up his pink boots for good. I can tell you that even if you might not happen to be a fan of Mr. Broadway, I’m certain NO ONE wants to give Starkiller any more reason to brag by ending his career. Numero quatro is the mastermind mat technician of Strictly Business, Konik. In addition to the Renegade, Konik has also made a new “friend” (?) in the returning Ralphie Bloodthirst — but the ever-cool customer does not seem threatened by his oddball actions. And finally, shocking to some: making his debut on the list is the recently returned Vicious Tyrant. As one fan asked me, “Vicious Tyrant a fan favorite?” I can only say that when you make it a point to try to take out one Starkiller, your popularity can’t help but start to bubble up!
That’s all for this cycle, folks! Stay tuned for next month’s column where I will mark the return of “Conspicuous By Their Absence” to again touch on some of the stars that didn’t quite make the mark on the polls. Have a great January!
