Leaning towards Hodgey here as there are some big dream matches here for me; Wonder Woman/Gamora, Buffy/Elektra, and I'm intrigued by what could happen with Nightwing/Storm Shadow/Thor. Hodgey's problem for me is there's a slight dropoff after that as I'm not sure I love the particular matches even if I like the talent. Leo's main tag match is off the charts awesome, but he's got a bit of the same issue as Hodgey.

Things I like on each:

Leo - Star Trek vs. Star Wars, particularly being smart enough to realize if you don't give Trek lightsabers too it's a huge power discrepancy. Archers vs. Highlanders is cool. He-Man vs. Conan is smart.

Hodgey - Buffy vs. Elektra is one of the best on any card. Buffy paired with Splinter was also a really good call. Karate Kid with Splinter was also nice. Robo Cop vs. T-1000 was a good pull.

I thought I was going Hodgey based on the strength of Buffy/Elektra but I the balance and top to bottom of Leo might take it. Will consider more.
