Hoff

Not for me. I only had 1 and a half matches. HA~!

OMG I'm so gonna go to that Mall of America show! *forgets that things are pretend*

I gotta say, whoever decided to go with a clearly defined city for each week, nice job.

I think it stood on its own. 'Course I've never been one to rush things, either.

OMG in GREATER DETAIL~: - Interesting start to the show with the Inten5e faction causing a bit of chaos. I don't know this Hyland character, but more people is a good thing, and it gives this angle somewhere else to go. Great dick heel promo by Popick, as well. I also like the tension involving Cappa. I know the real Cappa was hesitant about this, and it seems like that's being handled in a clever and creative way, so kudos. - Drek's promo with Eddy was light-hearted but serious. I liked it. I love when heel characters show a more human side. I LOVED that Rodez just crushed him right off the bat, too. Just painful. Very well-written segment, the dialogue was realistic and top-notch. - Rodez vs. Skull was GREAT! I loved everything about it. It put Rodez over, while establishing that Skull Kid isn't just a nobody now that Dama's gone. Both guys looked good coming out of it. And the Drek appearance was a great touch. Things like this add a little mystery to the angle, as opposed to just a beatdown or confrontation. And I could really get into the ego of Rodez vs. the ego-but-possibly-newfound-humility of Drek...yeah. - Gruesome little brawl between Rick Edwards and Cain before the BIG REVELATION~! I think we all had an idea, but the revealing was still well done by LP, especially the Dr. Wily-esque robot Father sitting in the office and the daring helicopter escape. Still into this story, which reads like a comic book. - Two bums had a match in an angle that doesn't interest anyone. BORING! - Axel just cuts a ridiculously great return promo, running down his agenda and calling the Thrillogy out. Very dark, very dramatic. I can't wait to see where Adam takes the character next. And the friend...well, it so happens I know more on that front than I can say. But it's gonna be GOOD. - Panther vs. Bryte...what can be said? Papa just gave us a PPV-level match for "free," and yet kept the feud alive so well that I shudder to think what he's truly capable of doing. I've always been a fan of Papa's, but this was...yeah. I love the ease that the comedy spots are worked in with. I loved the heel tactics by Bryte. I loved the psychology and I loved that the match with THE HAND~ came into play. I love that Panther still wouldn't quit. And in the end, we finally get a glimpse of Uncle Kev. I dunno who Taylor is, but Panther seemed to, and I can't wait to see where THAT goes. And of course, the ending certainly leaves the rematch wide open. Great stuff. - OMG the Saints bit was great! Loved the descriptions of Logan's vocals. Just FUN to read, and of course it keeps the Saints/COD story going. - Zack's descent into madness is fun to watch. Just a bitter, harsh, angry promo...one that the reader can really feel. Crystal's reaction was great, as well. Is she scared? Starting to lose hope? The staredown at the end sealed it, though. You know their heads are messed when they can pass nose to nose without throwing a punch. Just eerie. Tres bien. - Frankensteiners, huh? Should be interesting. - GPX cut another hilarious promo while still seeming focused. Good times. - Interesting development with the RAS and SB...er, Sean Bryant and his cousin. I'm curiosu where the Brynats will go character-wise, but I definitely look forward to the matches. - Sly's promo was both funny and got a point across. Good to see that Sly vs. Calvin isn't done with, either. - Black T's reasons for joinging Inten5e become clear. I'm not sure I like JR in this semi-serious role, to be honest, but the champs can still talk the talk. - Cappa just showed further how conflicted he feels in a short but sweet promo. - The tag match I want to read again, because it's 6 AM in the damn morning. Yeah, 6 AM in the morning, that's what I said. But the ending was unbelievable, and I loved the twist at the end as well. Nicely booked at any rate. What I skimmed looked superb. All in all...just a HUGE show full of twists and turns and character development. One of the best in a long, long while.

Thanks for the props on the Stevens stuff, guys. If you know me, you know I'm a fan of long-building feuds with big backstory, and that's what this will be...talking over the course of YEARS. So...yeah. Anyway, the two things that stuck out in my mind were Axel's promo and the Zack/Crystal staredown. More later, though, for a VERY good show.

Numbers? The hell? Anyway... THE REMATCH Chris Stevens © vs. Hoff for the OAOAST 24/7 Championship I promise to bring my A-game for this one. Plus, some more on the backstory between the two men.

I can just say that there will be a match from me in some context.

Chill graphic, Papa. I wasn't a fan of the tagline, but you made it into something VERY cool. Nice. Oh! And I too like using actual pics to represent our characters. It's kinda corny, but it's also a cool identifier to help us envision each other's characters.

No way, d00d, Hoff will TELL IT LIKE IT IS about how Gunner couldn't hack it. (omg HEEL~)

Stop. The Emperor will address his subjects. For what it's worth, there may be shoot comments that aren't supposed to be shoot comments.

Yeah yeah yeah. It's coming, hold your horses. Tonight or tomorrow or Wednesday (tonight's not too likely).

I voted GPX because I'm a MARK~

Okay, now that I think about it I think I was told that was the plan, but then the wires got crossed somewhere or... blah, I don't know. I don't know why Jay was assigned to a match he wasn't even in -- that makes little sense to me, but hindsight is twenty/twenty, I suppose. I did like the idea, though. But one of us definitely should have written it. Well...I suppose one of us could still. I, apparently, have to write Hoff vs. Darring...but if you wanted to write Hoff/Cal, you could...or I could do BOTH...sure, just lay all the work on me...it's not like I don't have enough to do...never mind taking care of YOUR children... *has an emotional breakdown* But we COULD always write it tonight or tomorrow and have it edited in, I suppose. I don't know, I'm still a little mixed up.

They are go.

Northie, it wasn't even supposed to be Jay/Jackson. It was supposed to be Gunner/Jackson (which is written), Cal/Sly, and Hoff/Jay. If it's Jay/Jackson, that leaves Hoff/Gunner as a quarterfinal match.

...My understanding is Jay...but, fuck if I know for sure. I offered to write it and was told it was covered, I think by Jay. I don't know. Here's how it was supposed to go down: Cal over Sly in the quarters, and Hoff over Jay. Then Hoff and Cal look at the matchups and see they're paired up. Cal convinces Hoff to do the big fingerpoke o' doom, but once they get out there, Hoff refuses and the match is on. If you didn't want to do that, that would have been fine -- I was under the assumption you knew. Silly me.

I figured that was a cover. That actually didn't bother me too much because it made sense -- hell, I figured maybe that was the direction that was decided on at the last minute or something.

Ugh, I dunno. Either stuff can be edited in, or it can't. If it can, then by all means, do it. But if this is how it went down, I can accept that. Oh, also. Gunner/Rick Edwards was a SEMIFINAL match, not a quarterfinal. It was clear that Rick was in the semis. Yet Gunner/Rick was BEFORE Gunner/Jackson. That was just plain confusing.

Fuck, fair enough. I don't know what happened. All I know is that if there's any way to "correct" it, I'd like that a lot.

Then make a better judgement call. Damn, I'm not trying to be mad, but explain to people that a lot of things will be ruined if the show goes up without everything in. Nothing flowed at all, and things just seemed to come from nowhere. From a personal standpoint I feel totally abused, as this was supposed to be a HUGE night for me, not to mention the MONTHS of thought and prep work Adam and I put in to it. He wrote the best damn return I'd ever seen, and it's not even there. I actually think I feel worse for Adam than I do for myself, because Axel's return was just fucked up so royally. I dunno, whatever. At this point, it's pretty ruined, so I don't really even care if it's fixed. Hopefully we can salvage something on HD. EDIT: Hell, fuck that. Delete it and post it again, before anyone else sees. Or if you don't want to post it again, ask another mod. Hell, I'LL post it. Anything to make that better than...THAT. Stephen I'm not trying to be an asshole, although I'm sure I am. This just really bothers me.

Jesus, why did you post that? Part 2 was a shambles. It would have been worth waiting a day or two so we could get everything in order.

As am I.

God, Agent, one would think you'd have gotten a little better in two years.
