Daniel needs to set the record straight.

Daniel should give Mike Barnes his trophy in front of the next All Valley Tournament by making the following speech. "In 1985 I was awarded victory in a manner in which I believe was unjust and unhonorable. I lacked the skill to score points on Mr. Barnes. I acted in a cowardly fashion and embarrassed the art of karate. Out of pure anxiety I started performing kata and exploited Mr. Barnes' confusion to earn one solitary cheap point in sudden death overtime. Let it be known, I would never had made it to overtime if the referee wasn't deducting points from Mr. Barnes unjustly. Therefore, as a member of the All-Valley Board, I officially give Michael Barnes the trophy that was stolen unjustly from him all those years ago."

*Applause*

Seems Whinielle finally learned some manners by addressing him as “Mr. Barnes”.

Barnes should get the trophy that was rightfully his - but what punishment should Whinielle face for illegally holding Barnes trophy for 39 years?

Considering the compounded interest on the value of the trophy itself, including the loss of Barnes earning potential over 39 years had he been made champion and given 50% of cobra Kai dojo’s, -Whinielle should have all his assets and car business seized and given to Barnes.

As an added punitive measure, Whinielle should be forced to relocate to the South Seas apartment complex and made to work as the maintenance man for 2 pennies a day (1 Penny of which goes to Barnes bank account as a symbolic gesture of perpetual servitude).

He should be forced to work as Barnes' butler until the interest is paid off. Furthermore, since the name Cobra Kai is up for grabs it should be taken from Stingray and awarded to its most current rightful Champion. Since Barnes already has been working with the Miyagi Do students there is no need for him to find a new dojo and new students. Therefore, the name of Miyagi Do will legally be changed to Cobra Kai, where Daniel will be under court order to teach the way of the fist.

On Whinielles first day of being Barnes butler he would serve him his idea of a gourmet meal- Kraft Mac and cheese on a silver platter and then do a chefs kiss.

Barnes would be pretty disappointed that Whinielle is apparently incapable of making an authentic Italian dish.

There’s so many unresolved issues between Barnes and Whinielle that season five didn’t even bother to address. Hopefully we can finally have some closure.
