Octopus Mask's POWER 15 and Un4tunate Four [Week 4]

Hello, and Welcome the 11/29/12-12/5/12 edition of the SWFantasy POWER 15!

Through painstaking research we have compiled a list of the 15 most powerful superstars of the week.
These rankings are made based on wins, loses, championship reigns and hunts, and overall impact that superstars make on a week to week basis. So without further ado, here is YOUR POWER 15!!!

1. CM Punk (Velocijakked) WWE Champion Last week’s spot #1

CM Punk may be in the midst of one of the greatest title runs in history. Over one whole year as champion and no end in sight. Punk has taken on all comers and beaten the best of the best. Decisively proving once and for all that he is better than John Cena, Punk has capped off his run with an insurmountable achievement. We were surprised to see a new title belt emerge this week, but if Punk wills it, who will tell him no? With a reign this prestigious, Punk must be asking the new # 1 contender, Are you serious bro?

2. Big Show (Axesex Heat) World Heavy Weight Champion Last week’s spot #4

Mark Henry was the last obvious chance for Axesex Heat to throw a physical challenge Big Show’s way. GM Vicky Guerrero needs to think long and hard about how to test the Giant champion next, because we can’t imagine anyone who could match Henry, and Big Show seemingly dispatched with the man with ease.

3. Dolph Ziggler (Saturday Night Snap Dragon) WHC Money in the Bank holder Last week’s ranking #5

Everything’s turning up Ziggler. Beating Seamus puts Ziggler clearly on top of SNSD. And with a cute new girl friend, Dolph must be feeling good. It is important to note that Dolph’s Money in the Bank Contract will some-day need to be cashed in on someone under the supervision of Dolph’s ex Vicky Guerrero. How will this drama play into the future of the WHC? And what does Ryback have in mind for the WHC MITB Briefcase? Is there a sandwich in there?

4. Antonio Ceasaro (Saturday Night Snap Dragon) United States Champion Last week’s ranking #7

Antonio seems to be on mission to elevate his game as of late. And from what we have seen he may just be a europeanupperCUT above the rest. After beating Khali last week, Ceasaro again took down the giant at Survivor Series. Not content to rest on that success, Ceasaro took it upon himself to hunt the number one predator on SNSD in Seamus. If Ceasaro wants to swim with big fish, he should beware of Great White.

5. Rhodes Scholars (Axesex Heat) **NEW** WWE Tag Team Champions Last week’s ranking #14

Shenanigans! What is the relationship with Epico and Primo and PTP? Rhodes Scholars won their titles with a little help from their former enemies? 1 and 1 don’t make 2 in this equation… we’re saying things don’t add up. Don’t forget there are a whole lot of management masterminds at Axesex Heat and the recent GM hire may have left some former applicants with axes to grind and new agendas to pursue. Let’s hope that we get an explanation on this week’s episode.

6. Sheamus (Saturday Night Snap Dragon) Last week’s ranking #2

Sheamus took a tumble in the rankings this week. Losing to Ziggler for the first time came as a shock to many, and we haven’t seen Sheamus’ girl friend, but we can’t imagine she compares to AJ. Ceasaro wants to make a statement at Sheamus’ expense and apparently so does Alex Riley. Cant a guy catch a break? Don’t worry Seamus. You aren’t on the Un4tunate Four… Yet!

7. John Cena (Velocijakked) Last week’s rankings #3

You. Tapped. Out. You. Tapped. Out. You. Tapped. Out. You. Tapped. Out. Those words surely haunted Cena this week as crowds of carpel tunnel suffering basement dwellers reveled in the pain of the downtrodden Dr. of Thuganomics. Could things be worse? Certainly. John Cena is still John Cena. But with few prospects in sight John needs to re-focus his legendary hustle on something else for a while.

8. Ryback (Saturday Night Snap Dragon) Last week’s ranking #9

Last week Ryback was dropped from the IC title chase by Mason Ryan. This week he seems to have rebounded with a whole new goal in mind. Ziggler’s MITB Briefcase was squarely in the sights of the insatiable cyborg. Even the thought of Ryback getting his hands on the weasel Ziggler was enough excitement to bump him up a spot.

9. Uso Brothers (Velocijakked) Last week’s ranking #10

The Usos continued their winning ways, defeating Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara at Survivor Series. They went on to defeat Zeke and JTG in match on VJ this week. Wait… Zeke and JTG? This is exactly what the Usos are talking about; random teams tossed together by management with no real skill or teamwork to speak of. How can you call that a tag division? Will no team step up to compare to the Usos soon?

10. Mason Ryan (Saturday Night Snap Dragon) **NEW** WWE Intercontinental Champion Last week’s ranking #12

Ryan showed without a doubt that he is willing to do anything to keep Kofi Kingston under his heels. With Kofi soundly defeated and out of the picture, your new Intercontinental champion is poised to show what sort of champion and competitor he really is.

11. Mark Henry (Axesex Heat) Last week’s ranking #8

Mark Henry tapped out to the Big Show at Survivor Series. We don’t know what is next for the World’s Strongest man, but fairness says someone new gets the next shot at the WHC.

12. Team Hell No - Kane and Daniel Bryan (Axesex Heat) Last week’s ranking # 6

We said that Team Hell No didn’t have their heads in the game, and this past weekend at survivor series proved it. The inner workings of the tag team division went on unnoticed by Kane and Bryan and suddenly alliances shifted and the carpet was pulled out from under them. Sure they get a rematch, but if they can’t focus on the title chase, Hell No has No chance in Hell of regaining the titles.

13. Alberto Del Rio/Fandango. (Saturday Night Snap Dragon) Last week’s ranking N/R

As the sole survivors of a classic Survivor Series 5 man tag, these two have shown formidable team work. Their weekly dominance has gone unrecognized by the Power 15 until now. Their weekly dominance of Brodus shows promise, but their preoccupation with Rosa and Lillian has not proven to be fruitful. Let’s hope these Latin lovers can shake it to a few more victories in the coming weeks.

14. William Regal (Velocijakked) Last week’s ranking N/R

Making his first appearance on the Power 15, Regal knocked off the big man Zeke this week in truly regal fashion. And having converted his band of Lil’ LegendsTM, regal has new found power at his disposal. These kids could learn a thing or two from regal, and as they showed by knocking out over half the competitors in the #1 contender’s Battle Royal, they could cause some Old School trouble in the process.

15. Zack Ryder (Velicijacked) Last week’s ranking N/R

A true underdog, Zack Ryder has spend more time on the Un4tunate Four list than the power 15, But here he is. Ryder hasn’t had the best luck so far this season of SWFantasy, but a little perseverance and Battle Royal skill always pays off. Cena may not have believed it. We may not believe it. But Zach Ryder is your new #1 contender for CM Punk’s record breaking WWE Title Reign.

The Un4tunate Four
In addition to the POWER 15, the Un4tunate Four is a list of 4 superstars who might want to rethink their career choices.

1. 3MB (velicijacked) Last week’s ranking N/R

Heath Slater is going crazy. No one knows what he is talking about anymore and his “Band” just got embarrassed by the new group in town during the #1 contender Royal Rumble. Heath should call out Regal and take a stand for the Band.

2. Tensai (Saturday Night Snap Dragon) Last week’s ranking Un4 #1

Even David Otunga thinks Tensai stinks, and Otunga hasn’t taken that sweater vest off in over a month. Tensai lost to the Miz this week and cemented his spot on the Un4tunate 4. If he doesn’t want to become a permanent fixture he better come up with something quick.

3. Sin Cara (Velicijacked) Last week’s ranking N/R

What exactly happened to Sin Cara before the #1 contender Royal Rumble this week? No one knows. But after weeks of embarrassment and punishment followed up by a decisive loss to the Usos at Survivor Series, Sin Cara needed a good performance this week to keep himself off this list. The only solace is likely that the mask hides the tears.

4. Brodus Clay (Saturday Night Snap Dragon) Last week’s rankings N/R

What’s worse than being dancing wrestler? Being consistently beaten by a dancing wrestler. Fandango has Brodus’ Number, but Brodus hasn’t had fair chance against the Mysterious Mambo Man. We would give Brodus the benefit of the Doubt but Randy Orton walked out on the big man this week at Survivor Series. How… Un4tunate.
