Storm Comments

Well the show was a bit on the “lean” side but still – no comments at all? Not even a congrats to Tom & Grap for bagging the gold? Not even a “well at least the title win was actually written this week”?

 

Or maybe Spike’s promo just made us all speechless

 

So I didn’t just imagine a Mike Van Siclen return all those weeks ago during the 5 man main event? That’s a relief. I just hope the story with Peters has some sort of pay off down the road.

 

Mike also takes care of Stryke, short and sweet style.

No tag match? Awwwww poop!

I don’t comment on my own matches or segments so that just leaves the world title main event.

 

Not a bad match as such, shame there was very little use of the location (or the fact that the Covenant forces have attacked – but such is the nature of things) the patriotic antics was a nice touch though.

 

Congrats on the title win and there are actually OTHER challengers on the horizon we’re close to actually having a tag-team division (it’s the end of the world!!)

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Team MatFlesh match was the super good. TO THE MAX. LOUD. BORT.

 

POTATO MOTHERFUCKING SALAD IN THE ASS, YOU DICK HOLES AND OR WHORES.

 

GOOD YESTERDAY.

 

MCSTEVE IS COMING FOR YOUR TURTLES?

 

OH HELLS YES HE IS, BUT NOT UNTIL ARBOR DAY.

 

BUT EVERYDAY IS ARBOR DAY TO MCSTEVE. FOR HE HAS A LEARNING DISABILITY. AND HE EATS SOUP.

 

YOU'VE GONE FAR ENOUGH WITH YOUR RACIAL COMMENTS REGARDING MCSTEVE.

Well, I got out of class early, and the show is pretty short, so... what the hell, I'll comment:

 

So, Van Siclen is coming back to "right the wrongs of the fed," and he figures the best way to start is to extort Joe Peters? A'ight then... Van Siclen goes on to wrestle what's essentially an old '80s squash match against Stryke, where the jobber face gets some offense in before making his One Big Mistake™ and jobbing clean to the heel's finisher. Not bad for a first match back; personally, I think we need to see some more squash matches in the SWF...

 

I'm probably going to regret asking, but what the hell are crow jewels? Anyway, Blank seems almost unreasonably articulate for a redneck, but it's an e-fed, so what the hell, right? Overly eloquent or not, I'm glad you eventually got turned around to calling out Stephens, because I wasn't really buying the whole respect thing.

 

Staunton and Rageheart no-show again, which makes me sad; why do the good ones always quit before they even get started? I mean, I they've got this whole Steiners throwback thing going, and they just can't seem to get it together.

 

Interesting match between Blank and Grendel, and this comes from someone who generally detests "House Rules" matches... I loved the spot where you knocked Grendel off the top rope with the ladder. I think you went a little overboard with the phaser fire, but the spot where Blank beat up the guy who shot his beer was a nice touch... I'm guessing everybody who was flown out for the show is covered for MANSONOSITY, since the platform seems to be destroyed, or something, and yet there's still one more match...

 

I don't do comedy matches, because I can't write comedy worth a damn, but I appreciate good comedy matches, and Flesher and Grappler have great chemistry for writing comedy; the best active writers at doing shtick by far, and probably the best since the heyday of J&R; I also like Flesher and Grappler's writing because they know when to put the shtick aside and get down to business... I have been perpetually distressed by the neutering of the DDT into a transition move, both in actual professional wrestling and in our e-fed; I may be quibbling, but an Evenflow should be good for more than a one-count.

 

“Moveset, baby!” King cheers, “Charlie Matthews is showing exactly how he earned the nickname ‘Grappler.’ He is a veritable cornucopia of holds and submissions and general ass-kickery.”

 

“Unfortunately,” Mak adds, dryly, “he is not a veritable cornucopia of charisma...”

That's priceless. I also marked for the N64 wrestling reference... MatFlesh's characterization of Jimmy the Doom reminds me of a comic book character whose name I can't recall that would just spout off random shit for no particular reason. And, since that's how Drea herself comes across half the time, it seems apropos... I've got no beef with Blank personally, but I have to admit that I chuckled at that bit about the floating ribs... I also loved the faux-patriotism, but you'll pardon me if I say that Ejiro did it better with the US Title. Great match, though; based on the structure of the match, this also came across a little like the old '80s squashes, in that the more established jobber got in most of the token offense and did most of the selling before making the hot tag to the less established jobber, who comes in and takes the pin. And, like I said before, I'm all for that...

So... you're saying the tag champs were jobbers?

[Mr. S£im Citrus 0]

Hey... it happens...

[Sly 0]

They're no Wild and Dangerous, that's for sure! lolz.

To be fair, WC said the match reminded him of the 80s jobber squashes, in which case if you agreed you'd have to look at MatFlesh for writing a match which you felt disprespected their opponents, and the marker for putting it over a more balanced match.

 

Personally, I think that the New Doomtopians have been rather successful and are FAR from jobbers.

[Mr. S£im Citrus 0]

:: sighs ::

 

I wasn't calling the former champions jobbers; it was a commentary on the fact that Jimmy spent most of the time in the ring, and the Doomstroyer pretty much just came in, got one or two licks in, and got pinned. Which is what happened all the time in those 80s squashes.

 

And FWIW, like I said before, I'm in favor of more squashes. In fact, I think that it's a little bit of a stretch to believe that everybody in the fed is close enough in talent for all of the matches to be competitive. Some guys have to be better than the other guys, and the ability to successfully portray that is one of the things that makes Flesher stand out.

 

A superbly written squash should beat an average "balanced" match, in my opinion. It's just a shame that Taamo might be the only guy in the fed who actually has any skill at writing those sort of matches.
