NYU 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2004 Wow. Is this the first time there have been absolutely no matches on a card? I would feel bad for the fans that bought tickets to this show. Well, not TOO bad, considering that they DID get to see Heavyweight Champion Drek Stone!! More feedback later, if I get the chance. Either way, all the segments WERE well-written.....it would have been nice to see a match though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony149 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2004 Vince Russo (pre-Jesus) would of loved this show. Lots of promos, but they were all great IMO. After Hoff, I said Drek was my choice for World champ, and he delivered tonight. Excellent promo from the new champ, and the war of words between Drek-Crystal and Crystal-Sly was well-done. The opening spoof of Hoff's short reign was great as well. The great promos continued with those from Calvin/Crunk Machines, Ragdoll (including the stuff at the end of the show), Alex Bryant and Chris Stevens. Although the Ragdoll promo mistakenly referred to Bloody, Battered and Beaten as our next PPV when its been changed to CLIMAX (courtesy of Zack Malibu). I'm very pleased with the Jim Cornette Enterprises promo I wrote. It was something I did in about 10-15 minutes last night, since I spent the earlier part of this week touching up The Original Elite interview that "aired" later on. For a while I thought I wouldn't have the time to get it done because I had no idea what I wanted to do with The Saints and NNMX for this week. They were originally going to conduct an interview on the stage with Cole, but when I decided to use the stage for The Body Shop, I nixed that in favor of what was used. Thank God for the SMW DVD I picked up months ago, where Cornette does an interview from his office, otherwise there wouldn't have been no promo from the NNMX and Saints after a big angle was done at TSW. MAIN EVENT PROMO! Little does anybody know how disatours it nearly turned out. Other than coming up with the introduction of The Original Elite name, I have no idea why I wrote the promo. But when I wrote more dialogue I decided to PM Zack and ask him I can write the promo. I waited for his reply -- which I never got until I saw his post today in the HD booking thread, lol -- so I stopped writing until he OK'd it, because I planned on advancing the stories for The Saints, NNMX and Hell's Hitmen, and I didn't want to continue writing T.O.E. promo if Zack was going to do it (he's a much better writer than me). In the end, everything turned out well. As did the show...even with no matches, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2004 Great promos from everyone guys, well done to Drek for his opening promo as well. Great stuff by Ken, and I'd appreciate feedback on the promo between Axel and Ragdoll announcing the match at Climax, and anyones thoughts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoff 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2004 Not a whole lot to say, and I know this is late. But good enough show. AWESOME opening promo from NYU, I was laughing my ass off as Drek played the puppetmaster. Adam, I don't usually have cause to criticize you, and maybe it's not a knock on you as much as the order of the card, but, the big announcement fell a little flat for me. I mean, obviously it was a big deal, but it felt like just another promo until then. Honestly, I don't know what you'd have done differently, save maybe place it at the end of the show and do the others next week....and speaking of the others, Ken, NICE work on the boiler room segment, I was into it. Everything else was good, nothing jaw-dropping, but very fun to read. This Original Elite could be interesting.... ( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2004 Well I can't help some things. I tried to sell the match as much as I possibly could and it was pretty much the biggest announcment on the show. I couldn't really sell it much more than I did. I really don't know what I could have done differently with the promo, if you want to give me a few ideas, feel free. The PPV is now three weeks away, and I needed sufficient time to build the match up, but now, Im a bit flat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoff 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2004 No, to be honest, I didn't have any ideas, really. I didn't mean it so much as a criticism of you, as a comment in general, because I don't know what I'd have done differently. It wasa good promo and all...just didn't feel as big as it should have. I dunno. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2004 Yeah fair call. I'm just not sure what I could have done to build it up differently... oh well, I'll try to do better for next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
