I'm sorry Fiend. Panzer, Tritone, Brandon, they are all annoying, their shticks are tired, but they are part of the XPT like the Middle Class, the Chicago Cubs and Canada are part of the good ole US of A. To pinch a term from the Pro Wrestling Industry, they are the jobbers, the ham and eggers if you will. They are here for the purpose of being fed to the current and future stars of XPT, to chew up and spit out in order to show the world they have what it takes to reach the top or they have what it takes to stay at the top.

No one thought SD Jones had a chance to beat King Kong Bundy at the first Wrestlemania, but that 9 second win (including the trademark 5-count pinfall) in the second match of the evening, started Bundy 's ascension to main event status the following year. Everyone knew Johnny Rodz was gonna get beaten from pillar to post, on Saturday mornings, but you gotta get Hogan on free TV sometime, so people will buy tickets hoping he did the same thing to Paul Orndorff or Big John Studd.

Who would the Harlem Globetrotters be if they didn't have the Washington Generals to beat every night? And what would our Queen of Snark, Gima Jerggums, be if she hadn't honed her craft by picking apart Brandon's pride, day after day, piece by piece, just like the lord has taken his hair.

In summation, ask not why Panzer is on the board, as how do I crush his spirit or skull with a board.
