Patty O'Green 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2004 I really would've posted the show at 10 on the dot, but I was waiting for two segments that never came. Oh well. I'll leave feedback on Friday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoff 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2004 I'm sorry, as I'm one of the two. I had issues with some idiots I work with and got held up, or the match probably would have been done by 10. Sorry, everyone. Okay, I'm pretty sure that my match got edited in...twice...but at any rate, it's in, so if you already read the show, go back again and CHECK IT OUT or I'll have to bomb your neighborhood. Sorry, just how it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NYU 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2004 Wow. Really pathetic feedback thread so far. I'm sure we can do better than this..... Let's see if I can get the ball rolling. -Good segment with Chris Stevens, further establishing his increasingly nasty personality. To me, it seemed a little strange that Michael Cole - of all people - would be the one with the sarcastic comments, but oddly enough, it worked! -Great promo with GPX - Mean Gene was just hilarious - leading into a very interesting segment with Hell's Hitmen. The attack really set up a nice element of mystery for the rest of the night, as well as the idea that maybe - just maybe - there is some OAOAST conspiracy going on. Sedatives, be damned! -I really enjoyed the next interview with Black T. In fact, the interconnecting segments of all the tag teams was REALLY done well. Very glad to see that Black T are still unified in the Tag Division, and are just as bitter about losing the titles as ever. Nice, sarcastic promo with Cornette as well. All of these segments did so much to boost a Tag Team Division that was already looking mighty impressive, so great job to everyone involved! -Yet another well done backstage segment with Rick Edwards. The intensity that goes through these segments - Rick with Father/Rick with JAE/Judas with Cain/Rick with Leah - are just excellent. And I knew it was only a matter of time before Rick and Leah started getting it on -Awesome, awesome stuff from Papacita this week. I loved the creativity of using a House Show match - with Jackie Gayda, no less - to put over all of the characters in this Panther/Tina/Bryte/Kev/Jackie web. Uncle Kev has quickly established himself to be just as much an asshole as Chris Bryte, and the two have already become among the most hateable superstars in the federation. The situation with Panther constantly being arrested has also risen to a fever pitch, with Watts ordering that he and Tina will be fired if it happens again. I was just so interested with this stuff the entire way through! -Excellent Tag Title match between GPX & The New New Midnight Express. The action was great, and GPX were actually proving themselves to be VERY deserving tag team champions! I was genuinely shocked to see the NNMX win the Tag Titles at the end. GPX had seemed to be doing very well with the belts, so it just seemed like their title loss came out of left field. That's not a criticism at all - it's a compliment to those currently involved in the Tag Division that I was very much surprised with this match ending. I seriously look forward to where this is all heading at AngleSlam. -Pretty.....interesting stuff with "El Guapo Guerrero" Rick Shirley. Interesting.....and a little disturbing. Already, I'm getting a sense that this could be one of the more intriguing wrestlers - and one of the most fun - soon enough. -Tremendous stuff with the Bryte/Tina match, and everything following it. Bryte's mean streak was just CRAZY! If he was having any credibility problems following the loss to Miss Jackie, he fixed everything right here. He became a terrific badass with this one match right here. The action with Panther at the end was just written so well. His overwhelming loyalty to Tina instead of his job was sweet, but here comes Chris Bryte to ruin the moment once again! The final match between Panther and Chris Bryte is going to REALLY be something to see. Personally, it might be the match I'm now most eager to see. -Very good promo with Synth and Krista. That's definitely a unique stipulation, and something that's only going to make their AngleSlam match even hotter! For some reason, I see a happy ending for The Saints and Chicks Over Dicks. But then again......I usually suck at predicting this stuff. -Interesting developments between The Mad Cappa and Stephen Joseph. Finally, Cappa stands up to Joseph - something that he's been waiting to do for months. I'm sure they'll also have a really good match at AngleSlam. And props to the Drek Stone shoutout! That's always appreciated. -Great intensity from Hoff in his backstage interview. It's always amazing to me that Hoff can switch from being funny one week to being serious the next - and it always works! With Chris Stevens and Gunner Sharps both breathing down Hoff's neck, the 24/7 Title is quickly becoming nicely established! This was further shown in the Stevens/Gunner match afterwards. The match itself was very well-written, and the ending sequence with Stevens sacrificing his match with Gunner to get Hoff immediately did a lot to further show just how much more intense he's getting personality-wise. All three guys - as well as the 24/7 division - were really helped with this match! -Amazing stuff with Zack Malibu. His anger and paranoia over Crystal is just incredible, and his gradual mental breakdown has been handled SO well. The relationships in Thrillogy are starting to strain, all thanks to Crystal...... -Another nicely done backstage segment weaving together three separate tag teams. This one segment suddenly did a lot to show the differences between these three teams. The Frankensteiners being the more serious, technically-proficient tag team.....The Rave & Assault Squad being the team looking for revenge....and the Bryant Brothers being the pure assholes! I look forward to seeing just how the rivalry between these three teams are developed in the upcoming weeks. -Very good Main Event, with some terrific action. There was some exciting stuff here, with some really believable near-falls. This did a lot to hype up the two top matches for AngleSlam. There's not much more I can say here - great stuff with these four wrestlers, just like there always is. I can't wait to see the Crystal/Sly Sommers match next week. That should be excellent! As if you didn't know what I was going to say here. ANY feedback on the Rick Edwards/Leon Rodez match that I wrote, the Drek Stone segment with Popick, or the Drek Stone backstage interview would be GREATLY appreciated. Just what can we expect to happen between Leon Rodez and Drek Stone heading into AngleSlam?! The anticipation is killing me! What do you think?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patty O'Green 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2004 I am aghast that NNMX won the tag team titles! Aghast! They only received one vote in that poll! Why won't the bookers listen to the voice of the fans?????? Why?!! Anyway, Tony/Eski did a good job with their segments leading up to the match. I don't expect that'll be the last GPX title reign either, although I think Black T would have another reign before GPX does. Rick Shirley looks like he could be one of our more unique characters. Especially if he keeps trying to put the mac down on Michael Cole. Drek/Leon had a tight ending. I like the way the commentary was woven into the pinfalls. Totally groovy! The way Sean Bryant acted and talked reminded me of myself in middle school. Boy was I a dick! If I didn't mention you that doesn't mean I didn't like your stuff, it just meant I'm too tired to type and I want to look at porn instead. At least I'm honest.

Tony149 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2004 (edited) I celebrated a birthday Friday so I've been lazy as hell the last few days. That said, I read the show like a Playboy magazine--looked at the pics (i.e. promos--which were great) while taking the ocassional look at the articles (matches). Patty continues to do an amazing job with The Saints, two guys who would probably be stale as hell had I continued to write for them, especially when I'm writing a lot of the tag division stuff. Glad to see you stick with the "Almost Famous" name. Never seen the movie, but liked the name. I thought the segments Papacita & NY Untouchable wrote were great as well. Those are two guys who bring the content. The NNMX title win has been in the works for about 4 months now, well before the NNMX debuted, so it was good seeing my men defeat Zack's boys. Expect further chaos in the tag divison to continue this week. Last weeks event's affected a number of teams. Man, my feedback sucked. But I had a good excuse! I'm sure AS will receive a lot of feedback, all of our PPVs do. Edited August 23, 2004 by Tony149 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
