For various reasons, I feel Lord Moor, MC KG, and RAPpintor weren't able to hold up to the other two bars that stood out to me, and if they want they can PM me so I can explain why that's so. Between Coffin and Wonderbred, I was torn between what I felt was the cleaner read and what was the bar that best stuck to the concept given, on one hand, I wasn't able to really get Wonder's bar without doing some research, but it definitely read cleaner than Coffin's and would've probably hit harder in an actual battle. On the other hand, Coffin's bar definitely stuck to the concept better and was more relevant throughout, although some of the wording was a bit iffy and the final punch was a bit played (cum/come lines don't hit hard nowadays).

Felt I had to go with preference here.

Felt one was clearly ahead due to the fact he stuck to the concept thruout , most of the others I felt bore little relevance to the subject matter tho a couple were good enough to raise a smile but nothing more . Voted .

I think Lord Moor and RAPpintor more or less DQ'd themselves here. Lord Moor's bar had nothing to do with the given prompt of electricity, for which I was tempted to officially DQ him but decided not to. In the future, bars that don't tie in to the given prompt will not be accepted. On the other hand, RAPpintor's bar didn't make any sense to me.

Coffin Dodger and MC KG brought understandable bars which tied into the given concept, but I wasn't feeling either. They were too simple and not executed strongly enough.

That leaves two candidates for my choice of winner: Jimmy Hoffa and Wonderbred. Both brought alright concepts with solid execution, but in my eyes, Wonderbred's bar was better, mainly because of its strong relevant setups.

My Winner Is: Wonderbred
