I see ONE reply out of the three saying Roc might lose badly, and that was from brother Ronnie lol.

One person said Roc would get "outbarred", and he arguably did. Another said Nitty's bars would be "too much" for Roc. That's not outrageous. If Nitty didn't try an angle he may have WON clearly.

How does JC fit into any of this?
You only looked at the quotes i just posted, type roc nitty into the search and you'll see more posts but you're playing semantics right now so lets just skip over this, I'll drop it


Jc fits into it because this is a big stage battle

Both of them were in situations where people thought they would clearly win big stage battles and both dropped the ball, i dont feel comfortable with either of em up there

Rums performance is okay but ultimately it's his pen that wins him battles, JC's pen is better and when going against other bar guys the differences are magnified, all im saying it nitty cant afford to have any reaches because this battle is gonna come down to the pen

I actually have no problem with this. Part of being the kotd champ is being exclusive to the brand from my understanding. There should be no exceptions.

It sucks that the battle may not happen, but this is one of the reasons why some guys dont pursue the chain.

It's annoying but I can't fault them for it. We SEE the push Ice has been given, KOTD put a lot of eggs in that basket. I wouldn't allow him to just go over to UDUBB and be an undercard either.

Yeah, they traditionally have done that for the KOTD champ for years. Don't see why the would change it. That Hitman/Suge battle was different so how SMACK URL went about blocking it, I didn't like. KOTD has this set in stone already contractually from way back it seems. So I dunno why Head ICE thought he could just finesse his way into doing that battle. He should look over that contract again and see what he can and can't do while having that chain.

Man I dislike Mike P's style but I can't name a dozen people who deserve it more that probably won't be on there. I can honestly name FOUR that I feel are more deserving.

Cortez
Bigg K
O-Red
Serius Jones

Unless JC or Rum shyts the bed I'm assuming they're both on Summer Madness, so I'm leaving them out. Worst come to worst, one is on there and the other isn't. So we can say that's FIVE. Head Ice is contractually obligated to KOTD, so he won't be on there. Who is left? I'm not putting either of the Kannon's on Summer Madness before Mike P.

JC and Rum are on SM and battling each other.

What about Ill Will?

A dozen might be a high, but I just feel like there's a bunch of talented dudes out there that are just talented and deserving of the look. I guess I was being more hypothetical - Rosenberg Raw, for example, I'd rather see on the big stage. But his stock is in the toilet, compared to Mike P. So I get what you're saying

True. Ice is a Harlem hustler, maybe he was trying to check the temperature with the whole "The champ can only battle here" situation and see if KOTD would press him lmao

The thing with Mike, is he's consistent, and if you put him in the first battle of the night, you know he's going to put on a fun show. It's like booking the cruiserweights to open up a WCW PPV back in the 90's instead of a bunch of the other midcarders who won't even make the show.

Bro Mike P is extra average. He's certainly not terrible, but he's definitely forgettable and generic. I understand the importance of consistency, but we're starting to give battlers who don't choke wayyyy too much credit. I rather see O-Red stumble a few times than watch DNA go through 3 rounds seamlessly. SM aint for mid-carders, that's what Born Leagcy is for.

SM is for spectacle. People are paying a crazy amount for tickets. Live audience is the first priority. We might be fine from the comfort of our computer desks seeing someone stumble through a round that we can skip through, but a live crowd wants to get their moneys worth, and in that regard, consistency >.

Agree 100%.
URL doing PPV has the potential to sway things though. The same person who was clicking on free battles and complaining is now a potential sale.

Nitty was supposed to do Tay Roc bad and look what happened :stopitslime: the same way JC flubbed his first big stage battle with Yung iLL

When's the last time JC lost clearly to another bar for bar battler? And are we gonna pretend like Rum doesnt still have some wild reaches mixed with his dope shyt? JC's style makes the crowd way more critical of that type of stuff

Ole Avatarget ass nikka :beli:
What wild reaches does nitty have :picard: I'm completely lost here. Compare Tay roc to little Jc on a big stage brehs. He gon bark on that midget.
