Melbourne Hall of Fame

I decided to go through the history of the Melbourne Bladers recently and dissect as much information from them possible to create the Hall of Fame. I asked a lot of people to confirm a lot of the content in this thread.

Melbourne WBO Generation Key:
- First Generation: 2009 - April 2010
- Second Generation: May 2010 - April 2011
- Third Generation: May 2011 - April 2012
- Fourth Generation: May 2012 - April 2013
- Fifth Generation: May 2013 Onwards

Each member listed in the Hall of Fame is listed in WBO Register order/first appearance at a tournament, not in importance.

NEWS / PREDICTIONS

The Lost Generation: Years have gone by. What has happened to Melbourne's Beyblade scene? Will Omega and others ever make a return?


Old news:

Spoiler (Click to View)

Omega busy with studies - Has the Melbourne Beyblade scene truly died down? Will he really be able to recover Melbourne Blading these term holidays?

UniquE's struggle to survive - is this the end? Will blah rebuild his legacy and creation?

Resistance to retire? The Prodigies powerful Attack sweeper claims that his time as a Blader is nearing it's end.

ZX to The Prodigies to replace Resistance (Or long absence of retired Mish)? Or will he join UniquE and help blah recover his team? Or will there be something new altogether to come from ZX? He has a lot to offer towards the current situation of Melbourne blading.
Before Fifth Generation 2013:
ZX takes the 2012 Victorian Beyblade Championships by storm! Welcome to the Hall of Fame!!

Has Omega finally met his new match - or successor? ZX has put him through his paces these past two tournaments.

Will we ever see a Tan VS ZX battle?

blah's retirement - He couldn't make it to the Championships, will he attend another tournament before retiring?

WHO WILL TAKE THE TITLE OF 2012 VICTORIAN BEYBLADE CHAMPION? Will it be 2009's Tan? 2010's Robsta? 2011's Omega? Rising Star ZX? Or will a complete unknown - the birth of a new hero take the cup?

The possibility of Tan and ZX battling it out at the 2012 Victorian Championships - Two mysterious wonders who swept their first and only tournament in distant era's... Who will walk away victorious?

Will blah return to the game? Has the great blah truly thrown in the towel? How will this effect UniquE and the Melbourne community?

Omega's astonishing loss against ZX at Spring's Prime, will this effect his title and rank? Or will he prevail and take the 2012 Victorian Championship title?

ZX - future champion, or one hit wonder?

Has blah's BeySpirit truly dyed out? He hasn't attended a tournament in over an entire year now.

UniquE's struggle to keep bladers active including leader blah, will this be the end of UniquE? Or will they need reconstructing?

Did everyone want to meet me or something? Lol

Wow! You have returned to the forums, what a surprise! Glad to have you back online. (This is Dragonsclaw for those who don't know!)

Also edited the news section in the OP!

It's kinda odd you revived this at a time when active bladers in Melbourne are so low that you couldn't even arrange anything for beydays.

---

Plenty of bladers in Melbourne who are ready for a tournament, just not active on the forums (like me). Whenever Omega hosts a tournament he gets the community going. (He's busy with school)

Edit: Edited the news section again! Also edited ZX's profile.
