Promo heavy, but the shows are always that way after a PPV. The main event was very good, and OMG Caboose wrote something!

 

Zack being in and out of the wheelchair was a continuity blip, but I don't think it matters too much.

Shit! For the second time ever, I wrote a detailed review. But guess what -- I click add reply...board error.

 

The show was enjoyable. I didn't notice the continuity error, but I did see a Brian Pillman smart marks reference. Hooray!

 

I thought J&S's heel turn was handled well. At least to my knowledge, there were no plans to continue the team of J&S until an idea just fell out of the blue.

 

The NNMX-BT match served it purpose. We got a small taste at what the two teams are capable of. Then we saw all hell break loose in catering. The importance of the tag titles can be seen by ALL the teams going after them, no matter if they're heels.

 

Props to Northstar. The Saints segment was gold.

LOVED the show, and MAD props to Hoff for the Main Event, I knew it would turn out awesome. I hope everyone likes where this goes, because I'm really looking forward to furthering this storyline in the next couple of months.

 

I liked the Tag Team stuff also. It established 5 teams that could eventually have the belts at one time (Black T, GPX, NNMX, J & S, Saints). The Division is getting stronger by the week, and it looks to be almost restored to its past glory.

 

The Panther-Bryte stuff reminds me a lot of Jericho-Christian actually, and thats a good thing. I'm glad to see Panther back, and I can't wait for the next installment of this feud.

 

NYUntouchable is a great writer. Can't really put it any other way.

 

This Ain't Oz should be one of the best Pay Per Views that we ever produce, with the way everything is going. The Deathmatch Tourny is going to be AWESOME, the Tag Title match is always good, and Zack-Crystal is a rematch that I can't wait to see, for a number of reasons. Im really excited about the next two months, and although I won't have time to write much in the next three weeks (exams), I will certainly be trying to do as much as I can, and I won't miss reading a show.

Great show. The end made the Thrillogy look even more heartless than before. And I too liked the Pillman reference. Of course, it was Zack who made it. Surprise, surprise.

Did I explain everything? Hopefully.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Why was AJ Flaire named as being the X Champ at the beginning of the show? I guess it was supposed to say "former"?

[Damaramu 0]

Where's Hoff and NY? They'll tell me if my explanation stuck.

[Hoff 0]

I'll cut you a deal: I'll post feedback for the entire show if you give me your thoughts on the main event.

 

But you gotta go first.

[Damaramu 0]

I gotta read the main event first......

[Hoff 0]

Boooooooooo.

 

I saw your post and I was all jazzed up...you foul temptress.

Let's do feedback anyway!

 

- The opening was cool. I liked the little IZ nod/joke.

 

- I was actually really shocked by J&S's heel turn. You knew it was coming eventually, but this soon? Surprised me. My only concern is the disproportionate ratio of face to heel teams we got going. Hopefully, we can even that out a bit. But it doesn't look to be a big problem since everyone hates the champs anyway.

 

- The tag match was fun. It was nice to see four "normal" wrestlers in there, and the dueling crazy managers was good times. I thought both teams looked good. I also like that the champs are wearing matching tights, now. It's little touches like that that I appreciate.

 

- The Saints promo was great, not necessarily because it was a good promo (which it was), but because it helped expand the division a little by putting some spotlight on COD. More teams, the better. The Saints are always fun, though.

 

- As it pertains to the Zack in a wheelchair thing: I honestly don't know what happened there, save a heap of miscommunication. ...Let's just say it was MIND GAMES~!

 

- I hope everyone liked cocky, fun Hoff. I know I've kind of had dueling directions with the character (cocky frat boy vs. big bad killer), but I *think* it all blends together well. If anyone has any comments, they'd be much appreciated.

 

- Zack's promo was crazy. I like how he's showing the hints of rage and madness. The Pillman nod was a nice touch. It also made Crystal look great to get the last word.

 

- The Emperor of Death tourney...well, that's friggin' awesome.

 

- Bryte's "Uncle Kev" stuff is starting to amuse me greatly. Bryte is such a dick to everyone, I love it. And the ass falling of had me ROTFLMFAOOMG2004~!!

 

- I kinda saw Drek's Italian Championship coming, but NYU is a fantastic writer and the unveiling was just extremely well done, so props to him.

 

- DAMA! I want my feedback. Anyway, yeah, I bought the explanation. Smith's part of the promo explained it perfectly, and it was believable. I *really* like where you seem to be going as far as there being an even higher power then Damaramu. BUT, if I could make one comment, it'd be that you sure curse a lot, boy. Now I have no problem with it -- this is an efed and there's no network execs watching us -- but, when you do it so much, I think it takes away from the promos a little bit. But if you feel it works, then by all means.

 

- I like that Parka seems to want to help Rick Edwards. It adds well to the "inner conflict" of Rick's. It's also nice to see a WRESTLER in the role, as opposed to Abe, Leah, or Eddy. I said it before, but LP is telling a fantastic story with all of this. It doesn't seem formulaic at all...I'm simply enjoying watching it unfold.

 

- I loved the altercation between the NNMX and Black T. Tony calling JR "their bitch" had me laughing out loud, but it was also good to see some old-school shit like that, with teams assaulting each other's managers. To be honest, I miss the era of the male manager (as opposed to valet...though I got nothing against them, wink wink, nudge nudge), and this is great as far as I'm concerned.

 

- OHNO WHO HURTED SLY SOMMERS?! Ahahahaha. HEELS~!

 

- CABOOSE

I think the bigger issue here is why the HELL a guy that DOESN'T EVEN WORK HERE is getting music and pyro!

 

Heh. I always wondered about that sort of thing. Anyway....OMG PANTHER~! BACK IN TEH COMPANIE~! This was a great promo. I liked how Chris had the upper hand. I also liked that there was a little flash of Chris as a Panther fan. That was great to see, that sort of "flicker of humanity." But I look forward to the impending return of OMGPANTHER~!

 

- Again, thanks to those who commented or complimented (even better!) the Hoff/AJ match. I personally was worried it was a little short. Of course, any critiques are welcome.

 

- The closing scene with Caboose was...odd. I'm interested to see where it goes. ...Not much more I can say about it, I guess.

 

So of course overall I liked the show, as always. Everything was strong. On a semi-related note, I'm talking to a friend of mine to see if he wants to come in with me as a TAG TEAM. Which brings me to what I liked most about this week: tag, tag, tag, OH TAG~. Great to see it flourishing again.

 

I know we don't do teh numbers anymore...but 10, baby, 10 all the way.

Me too. You guys...I mean, I don't want to talk me and Adam up too much or anything, but we're so into this and I promise it's going to be fantastic.

 

 

Also, my King Hippo avatar rules.

 

That doesn't have anything to do with anything. Just noticing.
