Not gonna lie, Chandru’s rant immediately followed by an ad for mental health gave me a good laugh 😂

Newms gotta be player of the year, no matter what happens.

Player might be Erwin. 3 divisions, taking back title, making far in teams tournament, beats oyama in IG. Rookie is Griffy for sure.

Downtown for Rookie of the Year, no matter what!!!

[@lisajenny9]

Woooow!!! What a victory. Congrats to Newms. Such a great match. After the speed round I actually said omg out loud.

[@agentfilm6376]

Who would’ve thought we’d have two 7-0 rookies in back to back years

[@movieaire1439]

In a messed up way, drafting Newman was Barbarian’s own downfall in the full context of things lol

[@davidunderwood9728]

Who else wants Barbarian to start his own faction? Leave Gucci out to dry, have Finstock Exchange have civil war on who to back.

[@frezoren5761]

Going from 2-2 to 6-3 through the hardest possible route is nothing to be sneezed at. Good work Barbarian! *salutes Overall, I'm glad the Exchange this year is a far cry from the faction they were last year. People who thought the Exchange was going to fail are often the same people who bring up the faction's past mistakes and repeat the narratives over and over again. Ya'll its 2021. Its the new Finstock Exchange, move on. Whatever happens at Spectacular, I have to say this. I'm glad we're seeing a lovable bunch of misfits kicking serious ass in the league. Who would have thought contradicting personalities like Griffy Newms, King Kan and Brother Lomis would belong in the same faction? Go kill Spectacular folks! Love ya lots!

[@Halderic]

I thought for sure early on Barbarian was on the path to an easy victory, but damn, that speed round was a game breaker.

[@tjlanglois1989]

I knew in the middle of round 2 that the speed round was going to kill.

[@Just_Ben_]

This is one of the craziest matches I’ve ever seen for a number of reasons. Look forward to seeing more of both competitors.

[@angelpipessd]

Daaaaaaaaaamn what a crazy match!! Newms is a f-ing stud, but no shame to Barbarian whatsoever.

[@LancasterAJ]

49:15 Denzel Washington, Yay!

[@movieaire1439]

Unbelievable. The faction championship could very well come down to the main event. The defending champs vs a bunch of rookies.

[@jesusfernandez8677]

Wow, Newms is on another level

[@dmanness24]

Oyama is a blank check fan, he makes blank check references in all his matches this year. He even shouted out to the Poet Laureate on a Ben’s choice movie. If Griffy wins the belt I would looooove if Oyama cashed in the title shot at Spectacular and played Griffin! It probably won’t happen because it would be a waste of faction points since they are well out of the race...but it would be dang cool.

[@630designs]

Great match! Can't wait for Spectacular!! It is going to be so good!!!

[@craiglee5460]

Yooooooo! What a roller coaster 🎢😨🤢🤮😅 That speed round was the “make or break” moment of the tournament, in my opinion. Wow. Intense stuff. Sooo stoked on the outcome 👌😎🤘

McKee vs. Newms will be 🔥. Imo, two of the best characters today and by far the most knowledgeable. Couldn’t of asked for a better main event!

If Newms wins both belts at spectacular, he’s already a Rushmore contender in my eyes

[@ACosmonaut]

Why they always hating on the digital era?

[@moviereedviews]

Kristian just really hates it. I get the appeal of the studio and live matches and I do miss that we haven't seen them as often, but I think digital has a few perks - including the fact that those not in LA can participate a little more than in the past.

[@MarvelManMike82]

I'm 90% on the same page as Kristian but I also think there's no way we'd have had people like Kevin Smith involved if it wasn't digital.

[@bsbgirl85]

I personally hate digital matches, so if this is the last one good riddance! Studio>Digital.

[@Just_Ben_]

Honestly, I get preferring physical, but I think they’ve been super dismissive of the digital matches which have yielded some of the best matches of all time IMO.

[@bigjsquare1988]

Although Griffy won, his last two matches showed that he is definitely human. I think Mike's Secret Stuff is finally wearing off.

[@frezoren5761]

When you play nonstop for 2 months straight in 2 tournaments till the very end, facing harder oppositions at each progress, it happens

[@bigjsquare1988]

@@frezoren5761 fair point. I think Griffy is awesome. Was rooting for him to win this match, but will be rooting for him to lose both Spectacular matches.

Everyone is, just like he will eventually lose a match. No one is unbeatable. Ha, I hope he loses the team match but I'm rooting for him to destroy Marisol. So when it comes to the Singles Championship, go Newms!

Wow, what a match that was! Both competitors had moments they’d like back, but they both played at a high level too. Ultimately, Barbarian had a speed round to forget and his season is done. But he’s been so impressive. I’m sure he’ll be at Spectacular alongside his boys. Spectacular is too far away 😩

Overall Griffin deserves it but Barbarian threw this away in the speed round. Griffin took his time and showed exactly how to play that round.

So there are 5 matches confirmed for spectacular amd the ffa cash in. Right?

not surprised by that swag beginning, factions will be reduced next year anyway. does sound like we are not going to get Oyama at spectacular though.

[@MyTubeIsBetter20]

NEWMS!!!!!!!!!!! i love this guy. ROTY PLOY

[@Panthror]

It seems like 'Wrath Of Man' has been re-named to 'Cash Truck', at least I've been getting a lot of KZbin ads for that movie under that new title. (It might just be the European title, but when I saw it it was under the title 'Wrath Of Man'.)

[@Ethan-Jeremiah]

Excited to see if chandru goes rogue next season it’s gonna be really interesting!

[@PROBOT-pv6ez]

Alan Smithee should be a category.

[@YiorgosT]

bye, digital era! I'll miss you (kinda)

[@bsbgirl85]

That opening scene, well damn. I'm just glad we finally got some answers with that Free4All shot controversy. I'm glad Oyama isn't giving it to Chandru, cause it's his and he earned it. I just hate that we don't know when he will use it now, so we have to wait longer I guess. I thought it would of been perfect to use it at Spectacular and he could use it after everything is over. Winston got "Daddy's Home" on Chandru again lmao! After Chandru tried to get Winston kicked out of SWAG and now this, can't blame him for dropping Chandru. I wonder what Chandru will do next season, but I've missed SWAG so I was glad to get a cutscene with them. I love Barbarian's cheesy laugh more and more lol. Newms is killing me with all his weird dolls and cups (He should be on The Quirky Mercs with all those nick naks lol) Great match, congrats to Newms. Man, the speed round is screwing over a lot of players lately. This seemed to be The Barbarian's match until the speed round. He had a great season regardless. I don't know how close the faction standings are, but I still hope The Quriky Mercs win the faction war and Coy with MOTY (He should still get that for what he did the whole season, same for the faction. I think it says more to do well and get so many belts over the entire season then suddenly getting lucky at the end after usually being MIA the whole season) After them would be The Dungeon, I just don't know if Parker winning the Innergeekdom Belt is enough to put them in first place. So if not one of them, the lesser of two evils for me would be The Finstock Exchange winning the faction war. Better them than Korruption, but I'm all for The Quirky Mercs all the way to win it all. Spectacular is going to be MFing bomb! I just hope it's not posted all weirdly like it was last year. Go Shazam, Nicki, Parker, Newms, and Murrell! Good riddance digital!

[@frezoren5761]

As it stands, unfortunately the Dungeon and the Mercs are out of it. The Exchange has played out of their minds, eliminating Bibbs, Meyer and that TKO to Press Room is the biggest damage to the Mercs chances. Now the Exchange have a 10 point lead pre Spectacular If all your preferred picks win (excluding KOs/TKOs, the standings would be 4. Korruption 3. Dungeon 2. Mercs 1. Exchange

[@bsbgirl85]

Ugh, that sucks. I thought The Quirky Mercs could still land at the top. If it went that way, The Quirky Mercs and The Dungeon being in second and third place isn't the worst thing I guess.

[@frezoren5761]

@@bsbgirl85 Apparently there's one way the Mercs can win, but it has to strictly follow these conditions - Shazam win by KO - Parker win by TKO/KO - Marisol win (not by KO) This would allow Korruption and Mercs to be tied by points but the Mercs will win due to having better overall record if Im correct Any situations of these 3 not met, NOPE

[@Linerunner99]

Newms is the Collins of 2021... wonder if he'll have the same sophomore slump Collins suffered as well.

[@ExtraMichael]

The Exchange is the faction I've rooted against all season, and I expect to do the same at Spectacular...but Gucci VERY RELUCTANTLY has my vote for MOTY, even if Korruption wins the championship. Gucci went from completely squandering his legendary squad last year, to getting to first place almost entirely with rookies and with no title matches this year. Unreal.

[@davidtwinn7519]

I know recency bias. And I didn’t say this about Collins for that exact reason. HOWEVER, i truly do believe that Griffy Newms is a TOP 10 PLAYER in the Schmoedown right now! Not only did he go all the way to Spectacular in Singles BUT ALSO in Teams! Collins, Oyama, Erwin, Bateman etc were only able to do it in singles. But Griffy took another player that is arguably worse than all of those players teammates when they were hot. AND HE DID IT ALL WHILST PLAYING ONE OF THE BETTER CHARACTERS THIS LEAGUE HAS SEEN! Not one L in regular season, and is someone that everyone enjoys to watch! Collins only just got a character this season and he’s taken many L’s. He didn’t have one last season so he wasn’t enjoyable to watch. I think he’s ranked higher than Marisol too, despite her belts, he still had a better season based on number of wins in multi divisions and based on the players he had to beat in both division (he literally beat Marisol and Collins already)

[@tcdahn7]

How come the doctor in the Carbon Health ad looks like he wears a sleep mask?

[@bigjsquare1988]

Here we go again. Gucci is only a 2 time Manager of the Year so if he wins at the next awards, he'd be a 3 time winner.

[@bobbygucci9300]

Do the math. It’s 3

[@shotsofredmist5212]

Wow

[@mikefedorovsky2577]

2 future world Champs no doubt about it

[@nishantbalachandran3966]

Good stuff, Griffy Newms. Dude better study movie release dates before Spectacular coz Marisol loves that category, and if spinners and opponents choice is in that wheel and Newms happens to land on opponent's choice, she's 100 % gonna give that to him for sure. Barbarian's gotta improve his speed round because he only got 1 point from it which gave Griffy Newms the chance to catch up. As for Chandru, that's what u get Chandru for yapping ur mouth saying u got the title shot from Oyama and then whine like a baby when he says "no i'm not giving it to u" and then piss off Winston in the process. U get booted out from Swag! So hypothetically if a faction does intend to pick him up next season, I think it would be the Finstock Exchange since they lack someone in IG besides the Barbarian and he fits the heel persona and the Bobby Gucci madness. If he didn't piss off Korruption and the Dungeon, they would have probably picked him up but they want nothing to do with him at all after what he did and judging by his heel attitude, he doesn't really fit the Quirky Mercs. And since the Lion's Den has Saul and the Stars have Alex Damon and Brandon Hanna, the Finstock Exchange seems like a good guess imo.

[@MultiAdventure10]

Im really happy you guys started putting time stamps because the amount of wait before these matches is insane. Promo for an event, ad, scene that serves no purpose but to tease future content, ad #2, promo for the actual match, and then intros. Dont even get me started with ad #3 right after the match ends, more preamble, and then interviews. The original Bibbiani vs Andreyko 1 video is 30 minutes and the match starts by the 5 minute mark.

[@Linerunner99]

The bills were being footed by Collider back then. No one to carry the load now. Welcome to how business works.

[@michaelkaine9985]

I like the Barbarian and Newman I hate Tom though. I think the barbarian and Rocha put the exchange together. It terms of manager of the year, it is either Shannon Barney or Coy. they bring the best out of their players.

[@robertcatania1120]

I understand it's the rule, but they should really reconsider changing - reference the Sally Field(s) ruling. Barbarian clearly knew the answer and actress, his response could not be confused for any other actress, so why not award him the point? Is that any different then spelling Arnold Schwarzenegger's last name wrong? I understand the argument that Fields is a different name from Field (and not just a spelling error), but I still think it's too strict of a ruling. The point of the game is see who knows the most trivia, not perfectly spell or pronounce each answer. I agree it shouldn't be too liberal and award points for answers that are way off, but that was a simple error and he clearly knew the right answer. The game should be tied and Newms should have had to answer his 5 pointer.

[@G00N3R7883]

Does anybody still think the digital version of the speed round is boring because it doesn't allow comebacks to happen? Also, PLEASE no more Chandru scenes. They're painful to watch.

[@unoriginalandrew]

Thank CHRIST that Paul and Winston put Chandru in his place. I'm not convinced this was the plan all along. If it wasn't I really respect Kristian for listening to the fans. Put Chandru up against Oyama in Innergeakdon next season. That would be an awesome payoff to this storyline.

[@joshuabarnett88]

What even is the benefit of the doubt rule if there is no actress named Sally Fields? And how does Alba when it's Elba count if that doesn't? I know the league likes to claim precedent doesn't really matter but then the rules sometimes do not make sense

[@robertcatania1120]

I just posted a similar comment....I disagree with that ruling. Barbarian should have been awarded the point. His manager should have challenged, his answer could not have been confused for any other actress, he clearly knew the right answer.

Only 5 matches at Spectacular usually there's 6 matches 4 title matches 1 Grudge match and 1 Comedy match like a Manager bowl or Commissioner bowl weres are comedy match or is because all 5 matches are 5 rounds dont have time for a 6th match

[@Just_Ben_]

Spoilers So, let me get this straight… Bateman says “Muppets in Space” instead of “Muppets From Space”? It’s close enough. It’s free for all. He’s got to be quick. Mark Andreyko says AND WRITES “Idris Alba” instead of “Idris Elba”? Eh, he probably thought that was how it was pronounced. Give it to him. Barbarian says “Sally Fields” instead of “Sally Field” IN THE SPEED ROUND? We simply cannot accept that. If it wasn’t for that, he would have been up by 1 going in to the last round and Griffin would have to answer his 5. It could have been the outcome either way (and I was slightly rooting for Newms), but I just hate to see the match decided by that. Anyway, congrats to Newms. Hard earned.
