Show's over, and El Gato Blanco was delightfully revealed as {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Gangrel Makes a huge amount of sense in retrospect, and he comes off as a delightful and pleasant person in the post match interview. Warhorse makes the stipulation, and it sets up a really interesting situation for Mack, which he's already started complaining about on Twitter. RALPH is a bizarre choice for the winner, but the character really is hilarious: a naive yokel innocent who can snap into being a killer cyborg (or maybe a killer cyborg who's been programmed to also act like a naive yokel). Given the stipulation, I seriously think it's some huge deathmatch star, like G-Raver or somebody. (I did see a couple of people guessing Dan Barry, too, which... maybe.) I've been pushing that RALPH is Justin Kyle, who fits decently into the hints, but seeing him next to Gangrel makes me doubt that a bit since Kyle is a huge man. It's definitely someone who can go in a hardcore environment, as he did defeat Cole Radrick (who has a history of deathmatches, recently stealing the show in the last GCW Atlantic City weekend) in the first round in a hardcore style of match. RALPH probably does have the advantage in a Fans Bring the Weapons match, but if it's indeed AC Mack he is challenging, AC Mack will have the homefield advantage since he only defends in the South. I'd be curious if he could influence which weapons are brought to the match since it's not often that the loudmouth heel archetype is actually the conquering hero in this sort of match, but ever since Southeast First, that's exactly what has happened.

It also lets the fans have fun with the gimmick. Some of the "weapons" will probably be remote controls and radar scramblers and, like, USB sticks labeled "Misawa vs. Kawada" so RALPH can learn new moves mid-match, stuff like that.

I didn't consider the possibility that RALPH might work the match in the masked gimmick, since Lee Moriarty unmasked right before his title match with WARHORSE. That would be interesting.
