Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2003 DAMN YOUS VA'AIGA!!! Just skimmed the show, but that really stuck out as the bomb. Bastard! Though, honestly, the insanity we might get out of some Va'aiga/Dace matches is probably worth falling to the dark side. BASTARD! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Xstasy Report post Posted October 15, 2003 Me "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"s @ Va'aiga turning too! Should be interesting though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Suicide King Report post Posted October 15, 2003 VA'AIGA! WILDCHILD! XSTASY! NEW ZEALAND VS. THE BAHAMAS VS. JAMAICA! THE VIOLENCE IN THE ISLETS! Ew. Anyway, a good show overall, although I would like to say that Tom really overdid the sandbagging spots in the main event. I almost awarded Dace the win just for that.

Ace309 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 Any other comments on this match, other than the implication that three contextually-appropriate sandbagging spots that represented development of the dynamic between the wrestlers within the match were too much? Anything? I was really hoping to tell a story here. And yes, I'm a hypocrite. I'll read the other matches when I'm not slightly inebriated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ace309 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 Short comments on the first half of the show... Dace Night Promo I do like Silent’s character, and I thought that if this was written separately it meshed really well. If not, Dace is a better promo-writer than he gives himself credit for. I’m wondering, though, if the threat of “breaking your neck” is becoming sort of a crutch that Kibagami’s leaning on, rather than something that’s supposed to be perceived as legitimately threatening. Wildchild Promo I love love love this angle. Quiz vs. Wildchild Cute TV spot to open up with. This was a nice, hot match with an excellent finish, and I really enjoyed reading it. I love WC’s theme being “Guilty Until Proven Innocent,” but that’s just because I love the angle. Va’aiga vs. Silent Knew this was coming, unfortunately. I do like the Va’aiga Stinger, especially now that it’s being build as Va’aiga’s demonstar equivalent. I used to laugh when people used that phrase, but in this case it’s absolutely true.

Guest Suicide King Report post Posted October 16, 2003 Go comment on Dace's match too, while y'all are at it. It's certainly worth the read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crowe 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 I think turning Va'aiga is probably the smartest thing Card has ever done. He should just be prepared for when I return... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coffin Surfer 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 Flesher vs. Dace review I don't mind a match opening with a greco roman knucklock, but a lenghtly test of strength seems out of place. While it may make sense psychology wise, it's something will more than likely not connect with the crowd, since it's far to early for them to be hot enough for a rally behind the face spot. Even Hogan/Warrior had to do a few exchanges to warm up the crowd before the test of strength spot. Anyway as expected, Flesher outwrestles Dace, who is than forced to fall back on strikes to get an advantage. But Flesher is the Man now, meaning he can beat you in a number of ways, including strike contests. The match is well built, very much in the same fashion as the average New Japan junior match where it’s split between early mat work and the final run. There is some sand bagging overkill, you could easily solve that problem by working in a rope break spot or two to keep things fresh. Given the pace and junior feel of the match, the one/two move transitions at the end work very well. The ending of the match gives me the impression not so much of Flesher outsmarting Dace, but Flesher showing his dominance over the lower ranked opponent, by simply putting the breaks on and easily stopping his offense when things get to hairy. In fact, Flesher does a good job of making himself look “superior” throughout the course of the match while not making Dace look a push over. Flesher also avoids using alot of Dace's big moves inorder to keep their cred, still, it would have been nice to have Dace hit at least one threatening move to create some sort of doubt on Flesher going over. But I'm sure there will be plenty more opportunities for that, later down the road. Considering the circumstances, this is probably as about as good as your going to get.

Crippler Crossface 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2003 I'm just getting to reading this (being in a play sucks away your life, trust me), and the Va'aiga turns does indeed stand out as the main focal point of the show. It's done very well, and I can't wait to see how Dace/Va'aiga ends up. Though I'd imagine the bloodshed will have to be measured in kiloliters. Gallons doesn't do it justice. Oh, and damn you for having a Demonstar equivalent, too, Va'aiga. I haven't even gotten to debut mine yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
