Uhm, yeah.

 

I do stuff, as do lots of other people. Read and comment...

How good was this show? There was an actual honest-to-god Suicide King written promo in it. That alone increases the collectability by 500%.

King is my angry Viking god.

Someone please remind me why I trusted Spike to write two promos for this show so that some things in the match would be explained?

 

Haven't had the chance to read through the whole show otherwise.

 

Congrats to winners. Nice promo from King.

 

Now where's Spike so I can throttle him?

Throttle him? That sounds more like a sexual proposition to me.

 

Anyways... yay for promo goodness! King must have missed the part where I've been leaning face as of late...

Revolution Zero are now recruiting for someone to be a fucking alarm clock/reminder service for Mr Jenkins.

I could really use one of those people.

[Guest Suicide King]

It's ok. We had a Spike in the Carnival. His name was Spark.

 

Oh, and props to Landon's promoing. The way he is going, he almost has even me convinced that I am involved in his angle.

Quick comments...

 

- Toxxic calling Johnny the bastard child of Keanu Reeves and Eric Bischoff is fucking money, man. The promo's good on the whole... a lot of crowd heat, which is good for putting Toxxic over as someone who should be hated. I, on the other hand, am beginning to like the character, but I've always felt a bond with the other dickheads in the fed.

 

- Jesus, Mark, you use a lot of !'s in that entrance. Grand Slam having to take time to recover after a simple powerbomb early in the match was very well done, and puts over GSMS' current storyline well. The only thing that I take a bit of trouble with is the moonsault towards the end -- I might've had him (Mark) spike his head on the canvas or something, rather than just landing on Ced's knees. Still, it shows that Mark's reaction time is still off by a couple notches, which is the purpose of the match. Nice work.

 

- Nice four-way from Dustin. That it's rushed is obvious in spots, and Dustin's struggle to beat the ten-count being the focus of the match rather than the in-ring action didn't sit well with me. However, it's a solid match, even if it is a bit rushed.

 

- Ranting and raving Landon is awesome, and Card playing the role of concerned parent works well too. I'm really, really looking forward to Card taking Landon outside, pulling a branch off a tree and thoroughly beating him with it for a good three thousand words.

 

- JD writes a righteously nasty hardcore affair. I love it.

 

- Everheart writes a nice match to win the USJL title. My criticisms are simple -- more emphasis on the moves you're using. At one point you have Vlad looking for the Northern Lights Bomb, but there's nothing to make that any different from the brawling you have to start the match. Use the big spots to your advantage and make them mean something more than "Spot #17", and you'll hold onto the belt for a long time.

 

- King/Zenon gets promo of the night honors in a landslide, a healthy showcase for the hatred King feels towards Mark. I'm loving this angle, and if it doesn't lead to Mark/Toxxic for the World title I will be thoroughly disappointed.

 

- Johnny looks to work the strong style in his match, and in my opinion it plays very well. The impact of all the strikes is well done, it's a well-paced match with a strong ending. The handshake finish isn't exactly my bag, but over-the-top face finishes never have been, and I'll admit that it works in this instance. MotN, although this night was pretty weak, match-wise.

 

- Standard Maddix affair. A very well-written submissions match, though it's obvious that Landon isn't totally comfortable with this environment he plays it well.

 

- Again, God damn, whoever wrote this next match used a lot of exclamation points for the entrances. And the match ends quickly, as this sort of match should, with Davis getting the questionable victory. I would've liked to see it go longer and have Sean get in more of a beating on Tom, but the way it was written was still very good.

 

- Me, TMM and Todd's match. Please comment.

 

- And Megan Skye promo that goes over my head. I like the angle, Landon -- now, please let this promo be explained soon.

 

How does Dace do this every week? Who knows. Not our best work, but a solid show that sets up a monster Storm card.

Don't worry, all will be explained v.soon. Now, whever you'd class it as explained or confused the hell out of everyone is debatable.

 

As for the sixman tag...

 

- As you know, I'm loving the face/tweener/heel craziness, so this already meets my approval. Comedy entrance for the faces which is good, considering who's there. Dicenssion (sp~!?) to start and this brings the conclusion that not enough people in the fed 'get all up in people's areas'. Just my opinion.

 

The match itself is a very fun affair. Right from the get-go, we have the heel, tweener and face clearly distinguished up against Bowers. Injury spot to Cortez...those ring attendants are hella quick. Of course, that fits in with the storyline and gives MVS and TMM a chance for more disagreement. Nice that Team Face/Tweener/Heel are working on the rookie relentlessly, all within storyline, and I mark for the LARIATOOO~! obviously. Still no mention of Birdy or Drea as we get the chant. TMM joining in is funny. And again, Cortez is put across well as a tweener, which some people may forget seeing as he's MVS's buddy. Justin gets face heat which is nice to see, and eventually the tag is made. No HOUSE EN FEUGO~!, which is a refreshing change. Eventually it's the dicenssion that breaks things down...and eventually costs them the match, thanks to an MVS Riot Act on TMM.

 

Match was fun, with much storyline enhancement and a considerable amount done for Bowers' prospects. Plus things didn't become a total clusterfuck luckily. However, I had a couple of problems with it. Firstly, it was a little odd that Drea didn't get into the match at all. I was hoping for a little continuation of Drea's crush on TMM which admitedly would have confused things. But the main thing was the ending. It went from Birdman in trouble to Van Siclen and Masked Man, to Birdman getting the pin after Van Siclen's move. Kinda came off bad on Team Flip-Flop, as they got the win but through no doing of their own...and then the talk was back on the threeway storyline. I can understand why and it doesn't bother me, because I'm loving the story. But it did seem a little bit like Flip-Flop looked bad at the end.

 

Anyway...again, fun sixman that had very solid actual wrestling to go with it and makes me eagerly await what happens next.
