Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm bringing this back by request and because there are enough active people for me to keep it going. so here goes this week's top five. (Don't post in this thread)

1. the Undertaker- the leader of the Ministry of Destruction has been on a roll. After a narrow loss to the Rock in the elimination chamber, the Phenom has redeemed himself with an impressive performance in the casket match against hardy. now that he's reunited with his brother Kane, there could definitely be some gold in his future, especially with the tag team title shot at Time to Rumble

2. Batista- Whether you like his methods or not, he's essentially undefeated here in WWCW. After a brief feud with CWP, he's gone on to win the intercontinental title and decimated Cartwright to retain it this past friday night. however, one has to wonder if he can keep the streak alive with this triple threat elimination style match at Time to Rumble.

3. The Rock- the Rock had an impressive performance in the elimination chamber, proving to be smarter than most by steering clear of everyone until he could avoid them no longer. He may be the world heavyweight champion now, but there's another legend breathing down his neck in the three stages of hell match at time to rumble.

4. Maverick- well, they don't call him the god of ladder matches for nothing. his performance in the ladder match against the rock was quite simply a match of the year candidate. however, maverick has had a slow week, not competing at all on Monday night and an inconclusive end to the mixed tag match on friday. We'll just have to see how this legend fairs in 3 stages of hell.

5. Jeff Hardy- the third time is the charm in the case of jeff hardy. after failing to capture the hardcore title from zarel twice before, the third time in a one on one match, he succeeded. now at time to rumble, he's been put in a tag team match with Zarel, the man he beat for the title. one has to wonder how they'll pull of a win, if at all.

Keep an eye on:
DX-they've had a night off on friday, but they did beat the tag team that's held the titles more than any other team in WWCW's short history. if they can retain against the brothers of destruction, that'll definitely be a huge notch in their belt.

Zarel- well he is a two time hardcore champion, and seems to have picked up drastically since he's been in the run for it. though one has to wonder when he'll move on to some of the other titles.

Janelle-She was the longest reigning women's champion in history. and now she has a chance to make history again if she beats BJ in the ladder match.

BJ Dragon-two consecutive victories over the former women's champion, one to win the title, one inside hell in a cell to retain it. if she gets a third, there's really no stopping her.

1. The Undertaker- the Phenom rises to the top again because of circumstance. He managed to win against Zarel, though it was by disqualification. Now he heads into a huge buried alive match at Ragnarok against fellow icon and legend Sting, and the momentum seems to be in his court.

2. The rock- The Brahma Bull drops a spot after an inactive week, and due to the a** kicking the Big Red Machine laid on him after Rocky interfered in his match. However, given the truly unforseen victory over the maverick, things might change when the belt is on the line in the main event at Ragnarok.

3. The Maverick & Jarel- These two may not be a tag team here in WWCW, but no one could tell when Jarel came out to help his Ragnarok opponent fend off an attack from DX. The spirit of competition is strong with these two, and after taking DX out of action, these two look to be rolling cleanly into Ragnarok.

4. Zarel- even though he lost to the phenom, that was only a technicality. Early in the match he disqualified himself and hit a devastating chokeslam on the Phenom, and later sent a message to the current intercontinental champion in a fashion similar to that of his brother. He's definitely Rollin' into Ragnarok with every intention of winning yet another intercontinental title reign.

5. Cartwright- remains at the number 5 spot due to inactivity for this week, but he doesn't seem to be intimidated by Zarel's presence. All will come to light when the two finally face each other in the ring.

Keep an eye on:

Tommy Duncan- he fought Kane to a no contest, but he did put up a fight before the Rock's interference. With such an exciting match coming up with Damien at Ragnarok, a win would boost him right onto the top 5.

Damien hardy- Damien made the challenge to Tommy for the parking lot taipei deathmatch. let's see if he can hold his own, especially after getting superkicked by the boss.

Vincent- all he needs is an impressive performance in the six pack challenge, and he'll be on the top 5 for sure. although it would help his chances if he found a contender for the US title soon.

Sting- Sting challenged teh Phenom, though i doubt he'd be getting him in a buried alive match. after an impressive win over snypa that put the younger man out of action indefinitely, one more victory could get sting into a title picture, and the top 5.

1. Zarel Damone- so far, he's lived up to what he's said. even with the odds stacked against him and blood pouring down his face, he forced Kane to tap out to the sharpshooter inside the steel cage, capturing the world heavyweight title in the process. He is now officially WWCW's first ever grand slam champion, having held all major active titles. and now he is set to team with one of his former opponents to defend the intercontinental title.

2. the Brothers of destruction- Kane's loss is the reason for the fall. try as he might, the big red machine just didn't have it in him to retain the title against three hungry challengers. still the undertaker picked up a win heading into bad blood.

3. Travis- he retained the hardcore championship again. now he faces the women's champion, janelle, for the hardcore title at bad blood. he may have beaten her in ACW, but Janelle looks ready this time, and she wants to be the first ever female hardcore champion.

4. Vincent Sanctuary- though he came up with the match stipulation, and though he fought fairly well in the match for the world heavyweight title, he fell just short of winning the title, as Zarel forced Kane to tap out to the sharpshooter while Vincent was going for the Jackhammer on Cartwright. it's unfortunate, but his performance is enough to get him in the top 5. now let's see if he can coexist with Zarel to retain his united states title.

5. Jarel and Shawn Michaels- the legends came together to turn back a threat this past week. Jarel made his in ring return, defeating Aylwin with a Dragon Suplex pin. after the match, however, aylwin brutally attacked him and Shawn Michaels came to the rescue. Jarel demolished Aylwin with a chair, and Shawn Michaels treated the crowd to some sweet chin music. one tombstone later and Aylwin was down and out. now Jarel and shawn are heading towards bad blood for their final encounter, a 60 minute iron man match. this main event is sure to be one for the books.

Keep an eye on:

Cartwright-he has a chance to get the intercontinental title back and unify it with the united states title. let's see if the talented one is as talented as he says he is.
Janelle- she's back, and has her eyes set on the hardcore title. she's done everything else she's wanted to do, so we suspect she'll add this notch to her belt as well.

1. Vincent Sanctuary-though slightly controversial, Vincent won the world heavyweight title, and still holds the United States title. Can he unify the united states and intercontinental titles, or will zarel be able to come out on top this time without an obviously partial referee? More importantly, can he retain the world heavyweight title inside a punjabi prison match, Damien's choice for their match next week?

2. Zarel Damone-Zarel lost the world heavyweight title, though not for lack of trying. He's still the intercontinental champion, and he's obviously got some beef with Damien Hardy. But first, he should concentrate on Vincent and unifying the titles.

3. Cartwright-Cartwright enters the top 5 as a result of his tournament win against travis. now can he beat one of the most intimidating opponents of all time in the Phenom to win his shot at the world heavyweight title?

4. the Undertaker-he defeated sting in their rematch and moved on up in the tournament? Can he best the talented one to move on for the world heavyweight title?

5. Krymzon Ghost-his comeback was spectacular. Coming in as the surprising new member of Jarel's Ministry of Destruction, he came back in a big way, winning the hardcore title from Kane in his return match. Now all that remains is to see how well he and Jarel team together as they take on the Brothers of Destruction.

Keep an eye on:
Jarel-the only reason he's not still on the top 5 is because he had this week off. However, now that he's actively moving with his Ministry of Destruction, and teaming with new member Krymzon Ghost for the first time ever, he may just move back onto the countdown again.
Garbageman Joe-he fought to a no contest against Tommy Duncan, but they'll face off again at clash of champions. he's been doing well for himself and he could be the next number 1 contender for the united states championship.
Tommy Duncan-this guy is a fighter, and though he's lost to vincent twice now, he's obviously determined to get his first taste of WWCW gold, and he might just get it if he can win the contender's match at Clash of Champions.

1. Sting & Damien-these two pinned the world heavyweight champion, Vincent Sanctuary, together to become the number 1 contenders to the world heavyweight championship. But first, they must face the Ministry of Destruction to defend their belts.

2. The Ministry of Destruction-Jarel stole the show at the PPV, showing just how dangerous he is by defeating Kane inside Pandora's Box and removing the Big Red Machine from action indefinitely. And though Janelle and Krymzon fought valiantly, neither of them were able to win in the clash of champions match. Still, there are other things for them to attend to, such as tag team gold.

3. Tommy Duncan-he defeated Travis soundly to become the number 1 contender to the United States Championship.

4. Samoa Dan-in his debut, he defeated the Undertaker by pinfall, and in only his second match since coming to WWCW, he now has a World Heavyweight title match, since he defeated the number 1 contender for the title fair and square.

5. Zarel Damone-he moves down as a victim of circumstance. he didn't win in the Clash of champions match, but he did make an impact, fending off the attack from his sister and new ministry member Krymzon. now let's see if he can retain the United States title against the fast rising Tommy Duncan
