No, I agree

TWO FOR THE MONEY: So, Zack can write. I don't think a single person in attendance didn't know who was winning, but Zack managed to write a very enjoyable match that actually held my interest. Given the fact that it was, and no offense, but Zack and five scrubs, I...didn't expect that. Well written, and easy to follow as six people bounced every which way. Good stuff. Zack should be proud.

 

No offense taken by it, but I hardly see how it was five scrubs. The GPX have always been upper-midcarders as faces and heels. They're more or less in the MNM role to make a comparison these days, as they've been used to further angles and recently put Blonde and Faqu over. Blonde and Faqu I could understand, since they're in the midst of being reworked into what they are now, and O'Hara nothing much has been done with him until now. So while the result of this match was never truly in question I guess, it was to give all characters equal build and exposure, and I think it accomplished all of that.

 

Maybe it was just me, maybe not, but I never bought into the GPX as top-tier heels. I missed some of their work, but I also saw some, and it just felt manufactured in a sense -- perhaps because they were SO successful as babyfaces, perhaps because of their young look; I mean, they don't look like threatening guys. You did a good job balancing the offense, which I should have mentioned. I'm actually MORE willing to buy Blonde or Faqu in this, as they seem on the verge of a rise as opposed to the (somewhat and very arguably) stale GPX. O'Hara, I don't know enough about to comment on intelligently.

 

Anyway, in the broader sense I understand WHY the GPX were in the match. It made sense from a booking standpoint, as it pertains to the Civil War angle. But hey now, one, take the compliment why dont'cha, and two, you couldn't have squeezed a little feedback in while you were typng this?

 

Well, the whole intimidation factor for the GPX doesn't come from the fact that they look threatening...it's that they're instigators. They love stirring up trouble, and aren't afraid of the consequences. That's why the heel turn, I think, worked so well for them...they don't LOOK like heels, so it was a shock. Plus, they kept the aspects of the original babyface party boy gimmick as to not give them the "stereotypical heel makeover". As stated in one of the earliest Civil War promo's, Static said that they were going to take what was given to them originally (the names, the pop music entrance) and make it stand for something entirely different.

 

As for the rest of the feedback, I haven't been online for more than a few minutes since Friday, and probably won't be long for it tonight. I have read the rest of Anglemania and will do more of a stream of consciousness feedback by tomorrow night, when I'm actually required to be at a computer all day.

I'm going to start hunting down the people in this thread who began their feedback, promised to be back, and then never were without giving a reason as to why.

 

I'm not going to name any names, but Eski, KC, and Adam know who they are.

I'm very grateful that PK wrote SJ into the ME in such a way that SO made sense.

 

Seth: So what's the GP, RA?

Ryan: What?

Seth: Game plan, Ryan Atwood.

Ryan: You're using initials now?

Seth: They save time.

Ryan: Not if you have to translate.

Oh man, I remember when I used that as an away message. Classic OC moment.

That's where my brain pulled it from.

Two For The Money Match

Maybe I'm missing a reference to something, but I still don't get the name. Oh wells. I would have thought the belt and the contract would be hanging seperately, but apparantly not. (Very) Minor point, but wrong theme music for O'Hara!! Nicely played with the Upstarts tension. I guess AngleMania must be the single arm DDT show, there's always one move that turns up in nearly every match somehow. Surely a triple suplex must have happened before, somewhere. Exciting spotfest which was everything it should have been really. It was little easy to tell who'd win with the #1 Contendership stip though.

 

 

Leon Rodez -vs- Tha Puerto Rican

If I do say so myself, I think me and EWC built this Ladder Match up pretty darned well, so it's good to finally see this match considering it's been 2 months building up to it and it's probably 8 months since EWC pitched the idea to me. Now that I read it, I'm glad I didn't go with my idea to come down with David Hasselhoff to that remix of the Baywatch theme, cool song though it is. This was a good final blow-off to the feud and it tied up all the conflicts PRL's had in the past few months too, just what Mania should do. I wasn't overly keen on the ending but other than that, good stuff.

 

 

Black T -vs- Hoff and Drek

So now Hoff's back, when do CSI return? The whole future thing bugs me. Why would Hoff still want to be the future...wouldn't he want to be 'the present' by now? I like the rundown of the AM histories, as I did in the last match. Nice spot with the electric chair/suicide forearm combo and an equally insane diving headbutt spot. The Corner Post Anklelocks bit was innovative too. I don't really understand why Drek and Hoff are tweeners, unless it's because Black T are. Surely they should be the company's big heels? Hey, a competent referee! Anything can happen at AngleMania! The thumbs up/thumbs down thing could be copyright infringement from moi if I hadn't stole it myself. Nice to see a clean victory too.

 

 

A PROMO~!

Hey, SOMEBODY had to write one, might as well have been me. This rocks, trust me.

 

 

Peter Knight -vs- Alfdogg

Nearly four years since Alf last won the title. Wow, it's stuff like that that makes me fell like the relative newb I am. Main Event Intro~! I don't really know what to say about this apart from liking the flow of the match and PK's writing style being easy to read. I'm not good with this feedback dealy, see. But I'm enjoying the match. Oh, refbump. Here comes SJ and I hope that's not a screwjob I smell. Oh, yep, screwjob. Could have done without that, but at least it wasn't too much. Cue happy AngleMania ending. A good match and a bad night for the heels.
