WBO Melbourne Bladers: Hall of Fame - Sam the Beast - Sep. 08, 2012
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.

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!
RE: WBO Melbourne Bladers: Hall of Fame - Ultra - May. 31, 2013
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.
RE: WBO Melbourne Bladers: Hall of Fame - Sam the Beast - Jun. 01, 2013
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.
RE: WBO Melbourne Bladers: Hall of Fame - ZX - Jun. 02, 2013
Really enjoying this thread Sam! Great job on the update...
RE: WBO Melbourne Bladers: Hall of Fame - Omega - Jun. 02, 2013
Don't count me out just yet, I'm still in the game
. Working on a tournament hopefully for these holidays. Other than that, I love the thread Sam; keeps things interesting.(Feb. 23, 2013 2:28 PM)Zanzetsuken Wrote: Did everyone want to meet me or something? Lol
Didn't expect to see you back on the forum! Welcome back
You've missed all the action though, haha.
