[The Mast]

Hollohan's gonna bury dude.

Cortez only ever manages to talk about guns and doesn't even do it creatively, to my ears. Not to mention that Hollohan's gonna get a louder reaction than there has likely ever been.

[PE33]

Yes.....Hollohan is back.

[illipsis]

^^^This exactly. Cortez isn't even that good compared to the rest of his respective niche, let alone the rest of the field in general. That being said, I'm still hyped for the battle because Hollohan is going to be on some animal shit. We saw the performance 24/7 had after being away for a year, and with the GOD's natural aggression, I can see this just being nasty. Stoked to see what else Organik has up his sleeve.

[The Mast]

If we get Kid Twist Vs Rone on this card, I will flip shit. I know Organik was talking about it, but I figure that'll be better for W.D. 3.

Regardless, that means there are four other main events. He said on Twitter that there are five, and he chose to announce that one. I actually find Passwurdz to be entertaining, but that does seem like an odd match up. I'm not fond of Skelly, so we'll see.

[misremembered]

pysched to see hollohan back. its unrelated but i always wanted to see pat stay and hollohan team up for a 2v2. there'd be enough testosterone between them to kill a horse

[The Mast]

to kill a horse

...or make one.

[yayo403]

passwurdz is good. one of my favorite battle rappers. did great against hollow da don. Is gonna kill skelly imo.

[Ryan Spulecki]

Fuck you Troy. You beat me to making this. I haven't been on here as much lately:\

Also add the TITLE MATCH - Sketch Menace vs. ??? to that.

And to everyone else, is the gray too light for that first post? It kinda is to me but its whatever.

[Oddly Enough]

Go to school for a few months and look at everything i miss.

I'm expecting Cortez to show up large due to being on the heels of the DNA battle. I'm not sure what to expect from Hollohan. Perhaps aggression and shock rap, or sneak in with a real-life/jail-time approach and see if he can out-street him.

I think his 1st or 3rd will be aimed at the league and what has happened since he was gone. And end it with that this is his title run and call out ppl or something along those lines.

:) @ natural aggression.....i don't think steroids are natural. That aside, some of you are going to be dissapointed. Cortez is going to waste Hollohan. I predict a comfortable win for him.

[Lyriscologist]

nice line up, interested to see who the title match will be against..
porich maybe?? loe?? pat stay???

Haha I dunno man...I really can't see Hollohan losing this...it's going to be interesting to see either way though...

[The Mast]

After seeing some of the shit I saw at Blood in the Water 5, I have to say that I've learned NEVER to underestimate dudes.

[FinalRound]

Haha I dunno man...I really can't see Hollohan llsing this...it's going to be interesting to see either way though...

Defintely mate. It is a very interesting match up. It's a good look for KOTD to get down to business quickly and get these battles in place. My money, if i had any, would be on Cor. We will see.

Oh dope you were there for that? Any particular matches to be looking forward to? I'm actually so hyped for some of those battles to come out

[GC3]

Return of Hollohan + Title Match and more to be announced. Damn KOTD making their events better every year. Can't wait for WD3.

[UgoStrange]

That'll be VERY weird seeing Math at a KOTD event...very weird...

[purered22]

Add Knamelis vs Kid Twist to the list !

[The Mast]

Arcane Vs Sensa and Lunar C Vs Uno Lavoz were fire.

24/7 Vs Soul was good.

[Raynezilla]

Knamelis and Twist is gonna be nasty. Sketch vs who tho ?? Dose?? Pat ?

[illipsis]

Arcane Vs Sensa and Lunar C Vs Uno Lavoz were fire.

24/7 Vs Soul was good.

Nice, I'll be on the lookout for those...excited to see how my boy Soul does against 24. Figured Cane and Sensa would be heat. Thanks for the intel.

In other news, Twist and Knamelis looks like an interesting match-up. I'd give it to Twist, cuz honestly, it's Twist. Knamelis is dope, but he hasn't seen that much top tier competition in this format. Plus his judging system can definitely be mined for some jokes on Twist's part. Should be dope from both sides though.

[UgoStrange]

Didn't Kid Twist battle Knamelis in WRC07 ?

[illipsis]

Didn't Kid Twist battle Knamelis in WRC07 ?

Yeah, but the format has changed a LOT since then...I mean, those were 2v2 freestyles as compared to 1v1 writtens. A lot of match-ups from that era have reemerged in some form (e.g. Jack Shitt and PoRich battling each other during this year's Grand Prix albeit with different partners). And the WRCs will be almost five years old by the time of Blackout 2, so there'll be no shortage of more recent material for either battler to use on the other.

[UgoStrange]

Case in point. Also I feel very sorry for Cortez, I like him and all but NO WAY IN HELL are they gonna let Hollohan lose after being away for so long (granted it's not like Hollohan needs any help in winning) I'm just saying when the hometown hero comes back home, the crowd is gonna go apeshit REGARDLESS. If Cortez has ANYTHING less than Bodybag material he's DONE for.

remember everyone said the same thing about the dizaster/dna battle. although he wasnt hometown (and neither is hollohan really - hes from scotia and ran the alberta division) the crowd loved diz just as much as hollohan and everyone said dna had no chance

[The Mast]

That's massively different, King. Sorry, but it is.

[illipsis]

But Mast, history has a straaaaaaange way of repeating itself! Fuck me, Cortez is probably going to have a line to that effect /:(

[Ryan Spulecki]

[The Mast]

I smell a Hollohan Vs Sketch title match if Sketch successfully defends and Hollohan beats Cortez.

[UgoStrange]

Here's the thing. With DNA and Dizaster there's a MASSIVE rivalry between the two. DNA knew full well going into that battle that he had to be as sharp as he ever been to beat Dizaster. Hence why when DNA turned the Canadian crowd against Diz it was ABSOLUTELY genius. There is no heat between Cortez and Hollohan. The tactics going into this match, Hollohan has been on the bench for awhile and is a nuclear bomb waiting to go off. Hollohan needs to prove to nay-sayers that he hasn't gotten rusty. Cortez on the other hand just needs to win. Long story short, I'm saying Hollohan needs The "W" much more than Cortez and he's gonna pull out all the stops to make his return match a Classic!

[Ryan Spulecki]

^ Well Hollohan-Cortez was supposed to go down when Arsonal-Pat did. But then Hallohan got locked up, so I could see how a little talk has already gone down but ya, not as much as Diz-DNA.

[yayo403]

yep sketch vs porich at blackout 2

[dotca]

I'm excited for Twist VS Knameliss. They aren't my favourite RAPPERS, perse however they are some of the funniest dudes I've seen on camera. It'll be a funny ass battle.

Edit:

If Sketch battles like he did against anyone other than Bender I think PoRich has a 60/40 chance of winning.

If sketch battles the way he did against Bender ? 85% chance he wins, IMO.

[KingFly]

pat stay vs the saurus officially confirmed

[UgoStrange]

GET THE F*CK OUTTA HERE!! PAT STAY VS THESAURUS?!! Wait a minute...Hollohan, Pat Stay, Kid Twist and TheSaurus on the SAME flyer?! WD2 was enough but NO event should be this awesome.

[investor]

woohoo nice lineup ;) only missing nils med skils or henry bowers in the lineup to get some more fun/humor matches.. very much serious battles here

[lakim shabazz]

K.o.t.d should host iron solomon vs soul khan!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AG1986]

Crazy line up, those tickets are cheap considering the people battling.

AGL.

[The Warlock]

K.o.t.d should host iron solomon vs soul khan!!!!!!!!!!!!!

khan is retired from battling

[lakim shabazz]

so he says but im sure if he get enough responses to a battel fans want to see he'd come out just out of love for the fans he doesnt seem likea battelr with a ego and diva complex.

MAKE IT HAPPEN K.O.T.D!!!

[The Mast]

Respect Khan's decision, people.

I personally don't understand why he feels he can't have a successful career AND battle. He claims it's because nobody has before...which is odd. True, perhaps, but odd.

I suppose the issue is that a record label might not wanna market a dude to the general public if he's saying certain things in battles that they don't wanna be associated with. That's the only thing I can think of. It's probably the same reason Real Deal has to keep battling a secret from his teaching job.

[Oddly Enough]

Respect Khan's decision, people.

I personally don't understand why he feels he can't have a successful career AND battle.

I actually think the reason he doesn't do both is just the division of energy. I could be a much better basketball player if i stopped studying, or a better student if i didn't play basketball. Negotiations of time and energy that create our comfort.

So for Khan to do both is possible. To be successful at both? Possible, but perhaps a greater investment in energy than he'd like.

[Oddly Enough]

Somebody update the 1st page of this thread.

He actually did a video saying that nobody has ever had a successful music career, to the level he wants to achieve, and been an active battler, hence retiring.

[EggzOverEazy]

god damn. KOTD just dominating the scene. What a card.

UFC 140 was crazy good, but this could be better.
