For those of you who have read Battle's End, feel free to discuss here. If you read any further than this post, you will have the end of the Battle for Centra Trilogy ruined for you. You have been warned.

Well a great opener, but I was disappointed since I only had the ROC win in my fed. No prevailing for any of the bad guys, I was really rooting for most of them too. I'm interested to see what happens now with Avarice, Shock Syndicate, and the House of Pain, considering they were my Essence champs. Here's to hoping the rest is revieled sooner, rather then later.

A beautiful end to a beautiful story.
Will a dangerous criminal like Mr. Bloat be let out of prison to compete in the new aCe? Officials have to see that as a giant risk, but a match with Mr. Bloat would draw mega bucks on Centra!
Godsend is a murderous demon... how is that dude not in prison if Sycophant is? Granted Godsend has to be the top drawing heel. I think the new drawings of Darkseed and Nightmare make it much more believable that they are mortal now (especially Nightmare)! I thought this was an awesome twist, and what an unbelievable sacrifice from the Archangels.
Nicodemus?
I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of the Shock Syndicate. One year was not enough for one of the sweetest tag teams of all time.
Murdok suffers for an eternity! I seriously thought Aegis would do him in.... but Trisis is all "Screw that!" Wh-pish!
R.I.P. General Rankor, Rouser/Rotwurm, Meteor/Noxious, Cremator, Holocaust, Gheist & Trench/Flatliner

Actually, I think the Shock Syndicate 'won' over the Tribes.. it just didn't go all they well for them afterwards. I was suprised to see a pretty much full scale happy ending, given Osk seems partial to the bad guys... just goes to show the voting was legit  I thought most of the characters had pretty fitting ends, especially Murdok and Godsend. I was a little sad that the Ravagers seemed like they weren't very important, but I suppose you can only do so much in 10 pages. I think 'All Centra Entertainment' will work really well(assuming there's another set, that is).. the trouble I've had with aCe is that the story is so good it sorta transcends the wrestling, making it seem kinda pointless... too 'small' for the conflict. In fact, the conclusion kinda re-enforces that... it sounds like aCe almost didn't exist in 2121, but rather the good guys got the belts and used them to defeat the bad guys... untill, the event there take place in 2122... which would make sense too. |

The exchange between Trisis and Murdok at the cell is my favorite part of the whole thing. Shepard finally exorcising Gheist comes in as a close second for me.

I think the Trisis bit was my favorite part.. very cool.
Godsend and Co. didn't go to jail because they were fighting Vallah, not the government... I don't think most enlightened supreme beings have jails.
My guess for aCe 2122 (2123?) would be that Avarice would be the top heel... with the demons probably there as well (all downgraded) to attempt to get the essence and restore themselves. I'd imagine the mysterious buyer of the Syndicate technology would have a team as well.... there'd also be room for someone from the GWF or POW, since the portal is open for now... I could see someone like Doomsayer tying to muscle in on the new fed.
If fact, he might be a good candidate for the 'mystery buyer' if I wasn't so sure it's Nicodemus.

I agree...I think Nicodemus is the buyer of the Syndicate technology as well.
I also see Paganax staying in aCe, but as a face.
Who does everyone think is coming from Dimension K to join the aCe?

I actually think Paganax should become either a manager or retire.. his power came from the Planet, after all, and his people, and they've been near wiped out... if he was going to stick around, he'd need a massive downgrade, I'd think.
I think having him be the spokeman/manager of a new team of Tribesman would rock, though.
