Hoff 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2004 I require specific feedback.........*paces* Easy, easy. Dama, I thought your stuff was great. Hoss vs. Skull Mask was terrific; short and sweet, and it did what it was intended to: get Skull Mask over as a big bad motha. As for Dama/Smith, I thought it was really excellent. There were a couple places I felt it was just a little spotty, but it worked. Dama's new look was killer. I'm not a fan of needless bloodshed, but this was a more personal feud and it seemed apropos, especially with Smith's girl and mom hugging him despite the blood. And the ending REALLY worked for me. A lot of times in situations where neither man will stay down, the pin has to come from a fluke rollup or cradle (or, in this case, backslide). All in all, I thought it was a very excellent, back-and-forth match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SP-1 Report post Posted March 29, 2004 *Happens to think reuniting the brands is a awful idea* In itself, I agree. Theoretically, the competition is a good thing. When both shows have full rosters. Unfortunately, between the Drawma, hD cranking out amazing shows every week, and PRL sometimes having to carry IZ on his own, for now it just seems best to reunite and work together. I'm to blame for some of this too because I dropped off the face of the OAOAST planet for a time and I was IZ. But . . . it's just the way it happened. Maybe soon we'll have enough to peeps to really pull off a brand split. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted March 29, 2004 Oh I totally get that SP, I just think that cramming everyone on one show is bad. It was bad before and it'll be bad again. Shows don't have to be really long, they can be just a couple of matches and some skits. Why not just make IZ an "Hour" instead of two? And you guys could always transfer people over to IZ. Or do a lottery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoff 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2004 Well, there's certainly ways to get IZ back. Watts pulling a power play, or a group of wrestlers sick of Northstar splitting off. Personally, I think the merge is a good idea, but I've been here less than six months, so I can't speak as to how things used to be. All I know is that I know most of the roster at least a little bit, and I don't think most (if any) of us will have a problem with IZ guys coming over, or longer shows. It is fantasy, after all. We could always be a "three-hour" show, Nitro-style. Because as we all know, Nitro ended up being a huge success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angle-plex 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2004 Just looked through the show. Pretty good. I wouldn't put it up there with AM II, although that would be hard to top anyways. I wish I could have been involved in some way but I couldn't think of anything to do. What's with saying Anglemania is a trilogy though? Doesn't a trilogy have to end on the third act? I don't get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damaramu 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2004 Thank you for the feedback Hoff. Anyone else? Spotty? Yeah I guess it could be in spots. But that's fine. I was going more for the drama of two men hating one another and doing everything possible to win even if it just meant a succession of moves to knock the other out. Of course Dama was going for injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SP-1 Report post Posted March 29, 2004 I'd support a Nitro format. But only if Caboose is contractually obligated to scream, "THIS IS GOING TO BE THE GREATEST NIGHT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR SPORT. EVER!" at the beginning of every heldDOWN. Let's be honest. That would rule hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2004 I also tried to interject a little comedy with Coach and Caboose fearing for there lives and then Caboose hiding under the announce table and it turning out to be the worst possible place to hide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Joseph 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2004 AP, I meant it more in the Star Wars Trilogy...it came in three parts. Things come in three etc... I hope there's another trilogy for you all to come, but it seemed a nice way to bundle this one with the other two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stephen Joseph 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2004 Well, sorry if it didn't make sense, but that was the idea. Besides, if you truly want to take it somewhere, a trilogy ends things and now oaoast starts again. Anglemania has always been a jumping off point and its where the oaoast year ends and begins... eh, some guys liked it, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystery Eskimo 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2004 (edited) *Happens to think reuniting the brands is a awful idea* Short of moving people forcibly over from HD, it was the only thing to do. PRL, Shuffle (although I know he's been busy lately) and I will probably be the only new regular contributers to HD anyway, so it shouldnt get too crowded.

Well I was going to move Caboose and NazMistry across, hell I think Naz made it across briefly, but a combination of laziness opn my part and Zack asking me to stay on HeldDown kept me rooted.
