With the annoucements by RBE & the URL, I already feel KOTD is done in 2019.:mjlol:

It's may be premature to count them out, but I know from past history that they are too cheap to put together the battles people want to see. The only time they put together the big battles in recent years, was when Nikaya was involved with those Mass cards.

KOTD was involved with the PPV game way before the URL, and were still cheap. URL gets in the PPV game and grows to the point where they are comfortable enough to put together the big battles.

I don't know what Organik can do here. It's gotta suck to be in this position. They aren't even competitive.

300 murders a year
I hope Goodz 3-0's Cass.
Yeah he beat Diz but they had redo that battle and the first time that they did it, Cass wasn't even bringing it.
Diz beat himself mostly because those bars Cass had were meh that time around.
goodz beating cass is about one of the surest bets you can make right now.

Yeah its a wrap for KOTD at this point. Unless they can come back with the shyt that made them who they are, I don't see it happening anytime soon. Bringing back NEMS was cool but without Nikaya, I don't see how they can do it now. ARP and Shotta could salvage it.

With that said, RBE had a good year though it started rocky with that controversy over the Goodz vs. Jimz battle. Putting on Mook vs. Verb shut a lot of shyt down for a sec. Smart move. Jae Millz vs. K-Shine seemed cool on paper then just became a one-sided headliner. This Math vs. Hollow battle tho...man, talk about booking a battle with some deep history.

URL shows they paying attention more. Not just to the fans but the roster they rotate. My only problem is the Twork push; I get it talent wise but the no shows and chokes don't set right with me; so what if they were smaller leagues or opponents fans bytch about...I value professionalism (or just honoring your word more so I guess) over that. Aside from that, URL is doing a better job and I commend on what they have done. Salute.

Its annoying that I always respected him and thought he was dope. But now, he says he's 5000 and 1, beat all these people, and it feels like hearsay.
And I can't give him stripes for beating Diz. Muthafukkas have been iffy on Diz for a while anyway so I really don't think that proves he's the champ.

Man I got it as a toss up. It’s definitely a 50/50 battles IMO.




Verb did well against Mook when I take into consideration how long the battle was, which was a horrible idea in hindsight.

The Verb that battled Mook was better then the Lux that battled Arsonal. However, none of that really matters as this is an entire different battle.
Maybe. The Mook battle Verb may have overall been better than the Ars battle Lux but Lux in that first round was better than Aye Verb has been in forever.

Houston.. not a good look for Lux
We don't want to hear that Brother Polight brother man talk down South. Lux took it in the wrong region.
KOTD and RBE are merging at some point in the next 18 months. That's probably way too wide of a window tbh
That chain is coming to Club Drom. No other way to keep KOTD afloat right now.

NJT brings in the conversation, they need him. RBE got a good headliner but losing Verb/Lux hurt. They're in talks with Holla, don't know what makes sense over there for him though.

Why do yall keep thinking KOTD & RBE will merge?

I just don't see it.

I see them showing support to one another, but nothing more.

Lux is going to have to be better then he was against Arsonal guys.

Even tho he beat Arsonal IMO I know what you mean. Verb has been hungry for this battle for years plus he’s coming off of beating Mook so he’s aware he has a new standard to maintain. Lux has to come like he did against Calicoe. Anything less will net him an L.
