I think Brizz was just killing shyt and became one of the top guys organically, but URL never put the whole company behind him like they did Roc, Twork and Geechi imo, or even Ave to a lesser extent.

To me, Roc was kind of an organic come up as well, but the difference to me is URL made a conscious decision to make Roc the face after a while. With Brizz, I never felt like URL pushed the button for him. He just kept winning and ended up in that slot.

Nah, I don't think URL really pushed Brizz, Brizz just put out performances that the people loved. Then proceeded to go into hiding.
I agree. But I think that push was coming, especially with him becoming Cavegang. His momentum was just unexpectedly halted.

"Neither one of us took JC :pachaha: we got that in common"

:laff: man JC did some danny myers shyt walking up to that table
Its funny, watching the video I am like JC got the best of it so long as he doesn't walk to the table. I shut it off before he did so. Read the comments...and JC walked to the table and got ate up. Man just doesn't have a strategic bone in his body lol

Jc didn't look bad in those battles, they were just clear loses, but he put on.

Ars always spit filler lol, he lost his stock from oversaturating himself. Clips did at a point as well. But the Wild N Out, plus his lack of appearances of late have helped build him back up as a name that means something when he battles again

Tay Roc was the first Geechi. URL put the rocket on his shoulders and let him carry the league for a good 3-4 years. Geechi was just the replacement. It was supposed to be Twork, but Twork kept fukking up. Before Twork, it was supposed to be Ave.

I would replace Chess with Ave.

Ave could never bring in the casual fan like the other 3 you named could. I don't see Smack putting the company on Baloo's back

I hear you, but he was still their guy. I remember the time very well. They were pushing him like crazy. You can always tell who they was behind by how Norbes pushed them on the War Report podcast, which was basically a URL podcast. This was back when Norbes was saying he wanted Ave vs Lux on Summer Madness. The O-Red battle kind ruined Ave's momentum and he never got it back since then. The narrative became URL was trying to save him (cutting Red's time), and he got burned by O-Red (I don't think he got burned, I just thought he lost) when he was on this super hot steak. That's one of the battles that helped Red get COTY because he ended Ave's run.

Chess was going to be their guy as well, but I remember the Ave push vividly. It was high all the way up til the Red battle. Norbes was pushing for Ave vs. Lux Summer Madness main event and everything.
