I'm curious if the upcoming RBE event is just four battles, which is what ARP has been pushing lately?

If so, that nygga better focus on making sure his card is intact.

Hollow/Math is a great battle, but you still need a strong overall card. I think Math has a certain "loser" stigma.

RBE will never be able to fully complete with URL until they can find new talent themselves. Right now they are just doing what UW was doing, just better.

Based on some ARP interviews I've heard this year, I don't think he has any interest on finding new talent anymore.

He started pushing that RBE is just a "platform" and these other "leagues," are not leagues, but platforms. I understood his point of view, but at the same time felt he was pushing an agenda.

I think he's completely fine with booking the existing talent out there and putting on battles he wants to see.

the idea it was competing when rbe barely got over 100k subscribers is laughable. url is a machine at this point. but yeah, the rosenberg raw shyt i had forgot about, though i dont know if it was same reason why arp was mad at raw vs what happened with daylyt. seemed like with raw, idk for whatever reason he got butthurt but it wasnt like arp is overwhelmed by the situation for some rosenberg raw battle in a basement. but with the mook/verb card, he fukked up what wouldve been a way better battle. day if that round he spit on cam is what he had for los, it wouldve been way better than the trash ICE came with. and like dude said in this thread it got overlooked cause who is gonna defend daylyt with his previous fukkery. but it was more the point arp cant handle this even mild spotlight. and now its happening again here

Aye Verb vs. Iron Solomon is match up I do wanna see but not before he battles Lux. I get where ARP is coming from but c'mon bruh...just re-schedule it for another event. And please don't make Yung Ill do what he has done and backout, LOL. Since St. Louis likes to "stick together". Hell, Iron Solomon vs. Danny Myers or Iron Solomon vs. Pat Stay would work; Pat is probably already on that card tho.

ARP is showing his lack of depth here. Yung Ill was completely onboard to battle until they pulled this stunt so if he decides to not battle as a form of solidarity to Verb, that’s completely on him.

I'm not absolving Yung Ill for this shyt though. This clown was just looking or an excuse to not have to live up to his responsibilities. I don't blame ARP for fukking up the Ill fight by having this situation with Verb, I blame it on ARP for putting any type of trust in an addict. :yeshrug:

:mjlol:Maybe ARP was relying on Verb to escort Yung Ill to the battle?

I'm getting the impression from his tweet that he feels Verb pulling out equates to two battles not happening. Maybe that's why he's so adamant about Verb battling on this card? He's never really went this hard before with guys pulling out.

I mean even if ARP would have came @ Verb respectfully, I think he feels Verb not battling fukks up two battles. I get it. You would have way more confidence of Yung Ill showing up if Verb or Hitman is on the card.
