mmlp, that was really cool man. i see this stuff is a niche for you. very outside the box, using popular properties to create a topical seems to be your thing and it honestly appears to be an easy and natural thing for you. I really enjoy this. A fan of the wwe attitude era, this struck a personal chord. it was awesome how you basically summed up austin's whole angle in wwe. i also like the little wordplay scattered about. flow wasn't super complex but it was clean and it did the job.
bodey, big fan of yours and props for show because the league's lifeline depends heavily on the participants. your writings are always super personal and it really does shine through. Especially when you describe the seemingly mundane moments or observations like "the cherry of my Newport sizzles softly in my ears" but stuff like that breathes life to a verse that would otherwise be, you know, robotic. its color to a white canvas, so to speak. but then there are these like "i've hidden behind this awful mask that acts like it's my friend" that i personally find was bordering histrionic and dramatic to the point of insecurity in your own communication with readers. but it may be different depending readers so, that could very well just be me.
with that said, i have to cast my ballot to bodey. the reason is very simple, despite it being a last minute effort, i felt her concept and execution worked perfectly with the picture. While mmlp basically used it to allude to t symbol of austin who used a skull insignia to represent his character, bodey utilized details of the pics to create a verse that although flawed in some respect, was sufficient enough to take the win to me.
