Sire has never had an "unblemished" victory in his IC-career, and while I'm not familiar with Manson's long-ass title reign, Saxon's reign wasn't as IC-unblemished as I'm sure he'd have liked, with run-ins and such securing him all but two wins in his title reign (I think; others would be more able to respond clearer). But then, this is e-wrestling. Clean wins are few and far between.

Black Ops defended... five or six times, if that. The LSW tag-scene isn't deep. The most notable win came in a four way dance, eliminate both members of a team that included Ops pinning both members of the Outlanders.

Sabuani is a face, but like all the Crew, he's also a loudmouth. Wrestles to impress the fans, slaps hands, yadda-yadda.

Desade's the former manager of Black Ops and the current manager of the yet-to-wrestle Inquisition. She was pivotal in Ops's wins in the above-mentioned four-way, the LSW tag-title win against the American Avengers, the first defense against All Play and No Business and, of course, Ops's second world title win against Censored.

There's my opinions and whatnot.
