No one has to face more adversity, and poor judging than the Executioner.......

This years injustice will go down as a blemish on the BRS reputation.

He should be at the top, yet he struggles to stay in the top 20.



Without the superlative management he has, I'm afraid he would be lucky to be in the top 100.


But excellent management alone can not overcome corruption, bias, a system that is broken, and the constant nagging of Russian intervention and hacking.

Nino has a tremendous season all season long just to fall apart and fail me completely in the Million Dollar Tournament....what a letdown.

Gibbons must've bought off some judges before entering the Tournament. As you know Nino and B-Hop are not on friendly terms, but we are in agreement in that Hopkins deserved a win over Gibbons, last week Nino deserved a win over Gibbons as well.

Getting screwed over against Gibbons clearly had Benvenuti's mind not right which lead to his poor performance this week against Mazzhingi.
