    Unfortunately, something came up today, and I still need to put some final polish on the Top 100 countdown video. Pushing the release back to Next Thursday (August 13) at 4pm EST. Thanks for your patience!

    Not what’s being asked for but I will say the modification of the nickname “Lights Out” to “Fridge Light’s On”’ for James Toney was very clever and hilarious.

    Carl “The Truth” Williams was also the unfortunate recipient of the modification “The Lie”.

    Then there was also James “Bone Hugger” Smith….the list goes on. Lol.

    Andre, the one that always pops into my mind was James 'Broadaxe' Broad. I don't know if many remember him anymore but he was somewhat portly and somewhere, somehow the wags started calling him 'Broadass'. Oh, man!

    :lol: Scar - I do remember him and that cheeky tweak to his nickname. Hilarious.

    For better or worse, the Top 100 will go live in 24 hours and 22 minutes from now.

    Quick heads-up! Starting this week, I'm rolling out a weekly series of hypothetical 15-round Fantasy Matchups across my socials (YouTube Community, Twitter, Facebook). For each matchup, I'll be creating a dedicated poll thread right here in the Classic section. That will be 3 per week.

    A few months down the line, I'll begin producing 3-to-5-minute breakdown videos on the main channel for these bouts. I'll be highlighting our forum poll results alongside YouTube/Twitter data, and featuring the single best 1–2 sentence argument from each side right on screen (credited to your forum handle). Once I start doing the actual videos about 8 weeks from now, I'll strive to do 1 video per week (or at least 3 a month).

    Feel free to lay out your full technical breakdowns as always, but if you have a sharp, punchy 1–2 sentence summary of why your pick takes it over 15 rounds, make sure to include it!
