Female Voice: The following is a presentation of the Pro Wrestling Podcast Group. The opinions expressed in this podcast are solely of the host, their guests, and do not necessarily reflect that of the PWPG. Thanks for listening!
...and, of course, the kind of random chaos I love to unravel.
I’m far from the first person to try and prognosticate an event like this. I’ve never claimed to corner the market on predictions. But, while you’ve got people predicting wins for Travis Pierce “because he’s won it before”, or for Zane Scott “because it’s his redemption moment” or random speculations of that nature...
...I’m the one that tries to predict the winner with math.
Yeah, yeah, thanks for that one, Chuck. Charlie Pride, as always, on the bells and whistles over there, trying as hard as always to get accidentally on purpose put out to pasture.
Well I’m glad you asked!
The Monthly Maybe Analytics Department and I have developed a three-part algorithm to evaluate all of the announced participants of this year’s Battleground match.
First, we looked at each competitor and how they performed in competition directly with each other. Whether it was singles competition, cooperative matches, fatal fourways, or even the Massive Melee, any of it so long as they faced at least one of the other five. But we didn’t just evaluate them on wins and losses; that would be too easy. No, no, what my amazing staff did was analyze each wrestler independent of their opponent’s actions. We looked at what holds or strikes they chose in each situation and whether that was the right decision. We also evaluated how long it took wrestlers to recover from successful attacks, kickout success rate...really, what we did was evaluate how well wrestlers contributed to or hindered their own ability to win, irrespective of if they actually won. It sounds crazy complicated but we were able to compile all that data into a...
It’s a little different than how we’ve determined VOTES in the past, but hey, this is a different match. The final score is how many matches out of 10 we think the wrestler would win against an opponent that was randomly selected from the rest of the Battleground field.
Secondly, we worked our way back from last year’s Battleground all the way to last week’s episode of UGWC Synergy, effectively a year’s worth of matches, and endeavored to calculate each wrestler’s individual winning percentage. But, y’all know that nothing about the Monthly Maybe would be that simple. After all, while it’s easy to say Phrixus Deimos earned a win over Zane Scott last week - hey, it’s still pro wrestling, and my analytics department chooses to take the referee’s approach to shenanigans, if you know what I mean - but how do you differentiate a match like that versus a match like Raab and Bordy beating Kem Dynamo and Travis Pierce?
It’s simple, really. We declare that there’s only 1 win and 1 loss in each match, and everyone on each side of the ledger splits the pot. Deimos beats Scott? One win for Fear, one loss for Zane. Bordy and Raab defeat Dynamo and Pierce? 0.5 wins or 0.5 losses for each participant. Zane Scott gets crushed in a four-on-one handicap match? A full loss for him, a quarter of a win for his four opponents, if we were counting them. From there, to make it an evenly-weighted metric with the VOTES, we scaled it to where someone who won every match would get a perfect 10, and there you have the...
I have to say, these COOL points get cooler every time we do them. Anyway, MOVING ON!
Third, we do feel it’s always important to acknowledge the amount of experience some UGWC wrestlers have had in this hellmaggedon of a match. Battleground lends itself to strategy and pacing that just is unlike any standard match style, so we looked back all the way to 2010, when UGWC took over promotion of this bombastic annual spectacle, and broke this down into some components too, namely looking at the core elements of how much actual experience you have in the match, eliminations that have been recorded, and slot leverage, by that we mean how did you perform relative to your entrance position. You were eliminated fourth but had entered second? That’s a positive performance. You entered fifth but got eliminated first? We penalized that. Throw that all together and you get...
Add all three of them together, the VOTES, COOL points, and the BGEP bonus, and that’s how we’ve created our Battleground Countdown! #1 is the Monthly Maybe’s official prediction to win this year’s Battleground match. What’s the success rate?
Well, we did predict the Massive Melee correctly.
You’re right, Wonderers. I know as well as anyone that statistics and data only tell part of the story. That’s why I’ve taken the process one step further and enlisted a little help with analyzing the data from a more...”traditional” perspective. So my guest for this podcast, breaking down her feelings on the rankings and also hopefully imparting a little strategy as well, she was the winner of this year’s Massive Melee, and is one of the participants in this year’s Battleground Match, my guest today is KEM...DYNAMO!
Now before we get to the countdown, I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask you how things have been going for you as you head into what has to be the biggest event of your career.
It really does seem like every other month the “biggest match ever” comes up, doesn’t it? That’s a good thing, though. It means you’re trending upwards, getting bigger and better. The Massive Melee was the biggest win of my career, to that point[/]. Battleground is the next biggest match, and ultimately it is just a set up to the NEXT biggest match.
This promotion is called the Unified Global Wrestling Coalition, emphasis on the Global. Do you know where we have travelled this year? Ohio. Michigan. Wisconsin. Indiana. This has more or less been a regional promotion this year, almost like somebody doesn’t want to stray too far from home. Me? I’m someplace different every day. Portland Pro Wrestling. Omega Academy. Joshi Extreme Takeover. Rose City Academy. When I win the UGWC World Heavyweight Title at Horizons, I’ll be carrying it with me everywhere I go with pride, bringing back that championship’s deserving prestige as a Global title.
(Keane’s “Is it Any Wonder?” plays.)
Female Voice:
It’s now time for...the MONTHLY MAYBE...your in-depth look at professional wrestling through a sabermetric, analytical perspective. Here’s your host...Wade Caldwell!(The music fades in volume to background noise before slowly fading out completely as the host’s nerdy but knowledgeable voice enters the audioscape).
Wade Caldwell:
Welcome back, wonderers, to another edition of the Monthly Maybe! I AM Wade Caldwell, your analytics insider and, boy howdy, do we have a show for you today! The United Global Wrestling Coalition makes sure that every time they put together a Pay-Per-View event, it is something special to see, and the biggest show of the year is the flagship event, Horizons, coming up in December. But next Monday is the day that the Road to Horizons truly gets going in full gear. If this isn’t your first time wondering, then you know that above all else, I love me a good “cluster-eff” match, and while for my money nothing is better than the Massive Melee, Battleground is a tremendous cluster in its own right. A battle between six of the top stars in the industry today would be exciting enough, but as you all know, that’s just part of what makes this match so great. Only two wrestlers start inside the brutal cell, with the other six joining in staggered succession. Eliminations come when you can’t answer the referee’s ten count, and the final person left standing at the end gets to choose any match with any stipulation that they want at Horizons. That is the kind of random chaos I live for......and, of course, the kind of random chaos I love to unravel.
I’m far from the first person to try and prognosticate an event like this. I’ve never claimed to corner the market on predictions. But, while you’ve got people predicting wins for Travis Pierce “because he’s won it before”, or for Zane Scott “because it’s his redemption moment” or random speculations of that nature...
...I’m the one that tries to predict the winner with math.
Yeah, yeah, thanks for that one, Chuck. Charlie Pride, as always, on the bells and whistles over there, trying as hard as always to get accidentally on purpose put out to pasture.
(Wade laughs to assure the Wonderers that he is merely kidding...this time.)
Wade Caldwell:
So, Wonderers, that’s the topic of this edition of the Monthly Maybe, an analytical countdown where we mathematically determine the sabermetric choice of who’s going to win this year’s Battleground Match. Well I’m glad you asked!
The Monthly Maybe Analytics Department and I have developed a three-part algorithm to evaluate all of the announced participants of this year’s Battleground match.

Victories Out-of Ten Evaluation Score, or VOTES!
It’s a little different than how we’ve determined VOTES in the past, but hey, this is a different match. The final score is how many matches out of 10 we think the wrestler would win against an opponent that was randomly selected from the rest of the Battleground field.

I have to say, these COOL points get cooler every time we do them. Anyway, MOVING ON!

Add all three of them together, the VOTES, COOL points, and the BGEP bonus, and that’s how we’ve created our Battleground Countdown! #1 is the Monthly Maybe’s official prediction to win this year’s Battleground match. What’s the success rate?
Well, we did predict the Massive Melee correctly.

(“Shakedown!” plays for a little while, to the beginning of the verse before fading out.)
Kem Dynamo:
Hello, Mr. Caldwell. I’m honored to be back on the show.Wade Caldwell:
As I told you last time, my dear, please call me Wade. Now before we get to the countdown, I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask you how things have been going for you as you head into what has to be the biggest event of your career.
Kem Dynamo:
I’ll be honest with you, Wade, it’s been a rough couple months. Last time you and I spoke, it was going into Massive Melee, and I won that and went on to challenge Lucy at WrestleStock, and things didn’t quite go my way. I admit I felt lost for a bit after that, kind of floundered a little. The loss I took at Day of Reckoning against Mizore Payne was a real low point, my Chill match with Sarah was a heartbreaker, but I think I’ve been able to turn things around and start to build some momentum again.It really does seem like every other month the “biggest match ever” comes up, doesn’t it? That’s a good thing, though. It means you’re trending upwards, getting bigger and better. The Massive Melee was the biggest win of my career, to that point[/]. Battleground is the next biggest match, and ultimately it is just a set up to the NEXT biggest match.
Wade Caldwell:
And I take it by that you mean the main event of Horizons.Kem Dynamo:
Do you know how many people have main evented both WrestleStock and Horizons in the same year? Four people. Tyvola, Hall of Famer. Eden Morgan, Alan Wallace, Travis Roberts. All future Hall of Famers, no question. I have the opportunity to add my name to that list, Wade. That really is something special.This promotion is called the Unified Global Wrestling Coalition, emphasis on the Global. Do you know where we have travelled this year? Ohio. Michigan. Wisconsin. Indiana. This has more or less been a regional promotion this year, almost like somebody doesn’t want to stray too far from home. Me? I’m someplace different every day. Portland Pro Wrestling. Omega Academy. Joshi Extreme Takeover. Rose City Academy. When I win the UGWC World Heavyweight Title at Horizons, I’ll be carrying it with me everywhere I go with pride, bringing back that championship’s deserving prestige as a Global title.
Wade Caldwell:
...and on that note, let’s go ahead and take our first break! On the other side, we start the Battleground Countdown!Female Voice:
You’re listening to The Monthly Maybe! We’ll be right back!—————-
Just who is it that has the edge going into Battleground?
Surely it isn’t Zane Scott. I feel for Zane, I really do. The odds that he faced on Synergy, placed in a position designed for four people to gang up on him, I can relate. And while the mob is in position to destroy a person, there were people among them that knew better, that knew it wasn’t right. Yet they stood back and did nothing, didn’t they? All that evil ever needs is for good people to do nothing.
As for Zane, I suppose there is always the chance that he “snaps out of it” and is ready to go come Battleground. For his sake I hope he does. Nevermind my own desire to beat the best at their best, but I’ve seen the footage from Zane’s “matches” these past few weeks, and they are difficult to watch. Zane entering Battleground at number one guarantees he will already be in the cell whenever it is my turn to enter it. I pray I don’t walk out into a train wreck.
Of course there are some that would likely welcome such a thing, people who prefer to take the easy path when they come upon it, people like Travis Pierce. Travis likes to talk a big game and he has big victories on his resume to hang his hat on, once even in Battleground itself, but a lot of times the showman is all sizzle and no steak. He let me down this past week, but the “piercing truth” is that I probably should have expected that.
Still, Travis remains the only person in this match who has not only been in it before, but has come out victorious. He knows the ins and outs of the match and what it takes to win, but the fact of the matter is that when he did win, he had a strong personal motivation. Trying to climb back to the top is not the same as trying to reclaim your own personal identity.
Does anybody truly grasp the true identity of Phrixus Deimos? It seems like he feels an entitlement to that which I am fighting for every day. He is a cruel and vicious scoundrel of a person, and you have to go back years in order to find a big win that he can hang his hat on. He even reminds us of this, drawing routinely on the past because there is nothing to pull from in the present, and yet he is still intensely respected despite his act at this point being little but smoke and mirrors. I wonder if it would even matter if I won Battleground, if I was triumphant in the main event of Horizons, would I receive even a glimmer of the respect that I should have earned?
Konrad Raab knows a thing or two about this. Konrad tries to make people around him better, strives to do all that he can and to do the right thing. It’s the best of us that suffer the worst, I’m sad to say. I’m learning that this truly is an environment where nice people finish last, and that seems to be the destined fate for you. Still, Konrad was the person that needed a lift going into Battleground, and he certainly got it on Synergy. I genuinely wish you good luck in this match, Konrad. If I come up short, you are the person with the heart that deserves this victory most.
I will say this for Konrad Raab, at least he can look at himself in the mirror at the end of the day. It’s something that shouldn’t be true of the Edge, although I imagine she not only can, but she basks in it. The stars would seem to be aligning for you, Edge, but I wonder, what end could you even have in sight? You won the Chaos Title on Synergy, and we all know that you put it first, above all else. What Horizons match could you have in mind for yourself that would advance your agenda, I wonder? Certainly, you’ve proven that you can flourish in this kind of environment, but is there a prize before you that could possibly motivate you to endure and survive the sheer amount of violence and agony that lies in the dark day ahead? Do you have an attainable goal, can you see yourself victorious?
I can.
And it is time to shine through the dark.
Wade Caldwell:Welcome back, Wonderers! I’m here with UGWC Star Kem Dynamo...
...ouch. Sorry, Kem.

Kem Dynamo:
Hello!Wade Caldwell:
...and we’re about to start the Battleground Countdown, but first we’d like to take a look back at the Top 5 Battleground performers of the UGWC Era, as determined by math using the system we explained earlier when calculating the BGEP.Female Voice:
Number

Gabrielle Montgomery
Wade Caldwell:
The Caramel Coated Goddess getting us started at number five, she’s only ever been in one Battleground match, but it was the super-sized eight person match in 2011, and she was able to win, co-win it I should say, despite having an early entrance slot.Number

Gabrielle Montgomery
Wade Caldwell:
Kem Dynamo:
I’ve seen her work in UOW and more recently in WWU, no surprise that she was successful during her time in UGWC as well.Female Voice:
Number

Jet Somers
Wade Caldwell:
Not a big surprise there, Jet the person that co-won with Gabby in 2011, but he has more all around experience in the match, and generally managed to perform about as you would expect based on slot.Number

Jet Somers

Alan Wallace
Kem Dynamo:
Vain is only #3? That’s pretty shocking considering he has won the last two years.Number

Alan Wallace
Kem Dynamo:
Wade Caldwell:
But this is why we dive a little deeper with our analytics, as there is, after all, more to this than just winning.Female Voice:
Number
2
Travis Pierce
Wade Caldwell:
And there is the perfect example. Pierce has only won Battleground once, but he has been in the match five times, and that gave us a lot more data to look at. Number
2
Travis Pierce
Wade Caldwell:
Kem Dynamo:
Obviously that’s going to be something I need to keep in mind. Travis and I teaming together this week clearly didn’t work out so well, but I definitely know what he is capable of. You’ve got him at number two, just goes to show how dangerous he can be.Wade Caldwell:
Keep in mind that just because he is the overall #2 performer in the match, that doesn’t mean our system will predict him to win this year. The BGEP will rate a score based on his expected performance in one match, and these current rankings are an aggregate of his entire body of work.Kem Dynamo:
Boy this really gets complicated.Wade Caldwell:
Sing it, sister.Female Voice:
Number
1
Travis Roberts
Wade Caldwell:
This really comes as no shock, Roberts is the only three-time winner of Battleground, he’s won every time he is in the match, there is no algorithm out there that isn’t going to spit him out at number one. Kem, anything to add? Number
1
Travis Roberts
Wade Caldwell:
Kem Dynamo:
Only that I hope he comes back to UGWC in the future so that I have the opportunity to face him.Wade Caldwell:
I’m sure there are some Wonderers out there who are curious how the GIW-era would play into this, if you’re a more recent fan you may not be aware that before UGWC was formed, the Battleground event originated and was twice promoted by Global Impact Wrestling, and yes, we did run the data incorporated those two years as well. Of course we did. Randy Boolzian and Donovan Hastings were the winners in those two years, and those performances combined with their later appearances during the UGWC-era would get both of them into the top five, Boolzian in the three spot and Hastings at five, Jet and Gabby both getting bumped. Kem Dynamo:
I’m just curious, who is the bottom competitor all-time? Asking for a friend.Wade Caldwell:
Let’s find out.Female Voice:

In any case, let’s move ahead to our second countdown of the show, right down to the nitty gritty, this is what you came here for. This is our prediction for the order that the field will finish in this year’s Battleground Match just a few days away to be held in Colombus, Ohio. Ready, Kem?Kem Dynamo:
Let’s have it!Wade Caldwell:
And a quick reminder, for people that have no experience in the Battleground cell, we’ve assigned a BGEP based upon the average performance of a first-time entrant with no prior experience.Female Voice:

Well, this is exactly what I was getting at earlier when I said there is more to it and you have to dive deeper. Who you face obviously plays a big role in outcomes, and Pierce has really struggled this past year with the specific opponents he is going to face next Monday, yourself included. Kem Dynamo

Zane’s ranking is buoyed by overall strong performance, and his dominance as World Champ earlier this year. I suppose you’re asking if it is it sustainable in his current state? That’s the thing about math, my dear, it isn’t emotional. Just cold facts.Kem Dynamo:
Did you factor in that, on top of his current state, I get that you’re ignoring that, but he is entering at number one?Wade Caldwell:

Kem Dynamo:
You know, I appreciate that you picked me back at the Massive Melee, and that worked out, but the truth is that we don’t compete on paper, or in a calculator, we are human beings, flesh and blood, and we’re going to compete in that cell and give it everything we have, and we’ll see what happens. A few months ago I proved your system right. Apologies in advance for this, but this time I’m going to prove your system wrong, and then I’m going to Horizons to compete in the main event.(Signaling that the podcast is reaching its conclusion, the theme song, Keane’s “Is It Any Wonder?” fades in and exists in the background.)
Wade Caldwell:
Well, I hope you Wonderers are as excited about Monday night as I am. On behalf of our special guest, Kem Dynamo, whom we wish the best of luck as she attempts to overcome our predicted winner of Le Bord de Dieu as well as four others inside Battleground, along with Charlie Pride and the entire Monthly Maybe analytics staff...have a great day and...keep wondering what may be!Female Voice:
