I thought about this for a while now and I've come to a decision, though I'm still not sure if it's the right one, if such a thing is to even exist.

I'm voting for Bobby Bourbon.

Now, obviously, I want to give Sid a plethora of praise for having an incredible March Madness. It's hard to argue that we've had a king who made such a dominant and explosive showing as Sidney Grey, even before acknowledging all of the selling she's done on Twitter. I also want to give extra shout outs to Noah Jackson for returning in such a huge fashion. Very few characters disappear for years and then make it all the way to the finals of March Madness, and he just did it in the biggest field we've ever had.

In the face of these sorts of accomplishments, it is easy to fixate on Bobby's impressive back-to-back wins over Mark Flynn and consider that the main reason he should be in contention for SotM. As much as it's relevant, that's not my main justification for this decision.

Bobby Bourbon won the top belt in the fed and was selfless enough to give it away to create a memorable story, moment, and experience for all involved. Sidney absolutely won the world on MM, but it is hard to argue that Bobby didn't hand her the key and he did so entirely of his own volition. I think it is such an important example to have been set to earn SotM on its own. Good on you, Bobby. Class act.
