The written show was very good, and wasn't hard to read.
I thought the opening tag team match, along with the actual S&C match and the Blaze of Glory matches were the most enjoyable. I loved the constant interference in the BOG match and the twist in the opening bout was nice.
The segments were good as well. I have an admiration of sorts for CJ Gates after his segments. The first where he and Blade kind of poked fun at Branden as well as the one where he tried to buy peoples numbers was good, generic for a "rich" gimmicked character but it's generic stuff like that which is enjoyable.
The Branden interview segment as well was good. He plays the underdog character well.
The S&C match itself was a good read all the way through. Maybe a couple of more spots would have been a good add, but no point dwelling. It was a great match all round from my perspective, as well as the actual PPV.
As I am a head match writer in two feds I won't shy away from constructive criticism. It's really color heavy. I realize that's to make stuff stand out, but a suggestion I have is to look in at how VWF post their events, on the custom background. It's a good feature, and the colors aren't that bad but it's maybe a bit too heavy.
In total, I'd give the event about a 8/10. Great for an eWrestling event, and Jeff through a PC you really did well as an actual booker, bringing talent in. Sad some didn't RP for the S&C match though, don't see why some would bother signing up.

just a FYI, CJ only wrote 1 segment, the one trying to change his entrant number. Branden wrote the other one.
As for the color thing, The matches themselves only use 3 colors, Yellow and Lime Green for the Commentators and 2 for the action. Segments, yah, their color ful, but mainly when there's a lot of people in the segment, its most to keep things easier to read and follow.
Eitherway, Keep the feedback coming. Good or bad

Really enjoyed the whole show. Very well written from all the match writers, and tons of segments from not only APW members but the outside talent (and maybe future APW members? ) as well. Kind of a disappointing show for me to start, but I guess making it to the final four of the Survive and Conquer match made up for that. Just a little shout out for that match on it's own, very well done Biggs. I can only imagine how much of a task that was when there were around ten people in the ring. But it was well done overall. My sombrero is off to you. Congratulations to Tim and Kris, well earned title win. Now, don't go mucking those titles up like the Nutz did. Maybe keep them polished up just in case Blade and I decide to go for round two! I did like how it showed how close things were with the initial draw, and then the end. Very well written as well and a great way to start off the show. Congratulations also go out to Ryan Ruckus. Like I said in the vote thread (where I voted for you btw lol), the winner of this match would have earned it and deserved it and you sir, did both of those. And thank you Jason Scene/Mattais (You are Scene right? lol). I always enjoy writing generic segments that really don't do anything outstanding aside from further stories and, in this case, give a little hype for the eventual match (as little as that hype may be. Every rumble seems to have someone trying to trade their numbers lol). I look forward to the next Overdrive card. As much as this past week wore me down writing wise, I'm itching to get going on the next wave!

And don't mention it, I even said it in the chat, your character to a new guy like me stood out. Well, you and the chair hopping Ruckus.

What a great show! Biggs, that match was just sublime. I actually got, you know, invested in it. It was almost like I was watching something on TV. Same can be said to the writer of the tag team match - it was a great, great opening match and good by any standard.
Congratulations to Ryan. A well earned victory. I read your promo and it certainly deserved the win. And Terry! Way to surprise people! Yours was an excellent promo as well. I'd also like to give props to CJ Gates. Yours was by far the best thing you have written that I've seen and I really want to set something up with you. Surely you have first claim to a title shot, seeings you were in the longest haha.
Congratulations to everyone who contributed, posted, segmented. It woudln't be as good as it was without all those contributions. Of course, special shout-out to Biggs and Jeff for putting together another excellent show for us. You are too good to us all.
Only critique would be that it would have been great to see everyone post. Of course, with such a huge event you're always going to get flakes. But that's the nature of the business, I guess.\
Thanks and congratulations to everyone once again.

Great show guys. Major props to Biggs. These kind of matches are difficult to write in an entertaining way, but you pulled it off nicely. Enjoyed reading, and voting on the rps as well. It was difficult to judge. Picking a top 5 was a huge challenge. It was a very difficult match to judge, which means all of you did your jobs well. Thanks for the entertainment.

I'm posting just to prove Chambers point.
Great show again this year. Like Gladiator said, it was really tough to judge. We split the writing of EWC's Rumble in the Bronx last year, and that was exhausting, so I can only imagine how hard it was to write the main event as a solo effort.

Thanks to everyone for their kind words for the S&C match. If you guys would like the specific break down, it took me about 9 and a half hours of actual writing time (with 15 minute breaks scattered through out, bringing the actual time to closer to 13 hours from when I started to when I finished), to write 44 pages, coming out to 18,285 words. My friends at church were joking that I wrote a short story! The most burnt out I've ever been at the end of a match, but also the most satisfied I've been. Jeff, you're a great friend of mine, don't get me wrong, but I don't think I could pull it off again next year...
Onto the rest of the show, I also got to give props for the Tag Match, it was extremely well written. Thanks Jeff for finishing the Overdrive Title Match.
Cassidy, it was a pleasure to defend the title against you, and I just want to encourage you to keep on putting out the solid work you do. I hope you didn't take any of my trash talk personal, because I really do think you're a great talent. I would gladly give you another shot at the belt.
Also, big props to Ryan Ruckus, Terry Marvin, Sally Talfourd, and C.J. Gates for making the final four, and bigger props to Ruckus for winning the whole darn thing. And I've also got to thank all the people who showed up to RP for the match. You guys were my motivation to write the match, plain and simple. My hat's off to all of you crazy bums who signed up for the match and participated!

OOC: On behalf of the Full Metal Wrestling, as well as the Lords of Pain Wrestling community (where I am a the headbooker of a brand, our representative was Ultramarcus, who hopefully will have something to say himself as well), I'd like to thank President Jeff and the APW community for their open invitation to compete in the Survive and Conquer match. For the results to be turned around with such speed is a fantastic thing.
A special mention to Biggs for the mamoth effort in writing that match. Thank you very much for your efforts.
Congratulations to Ryan Ruckus for being victorious in the match.
I don't really have any negative feedback at all. The entire show all over seemed well paced, and everything felt like it had its own impact, while leading up to the main event. It was a good read through and through.
For my own curiosity, and so I've got something to report back to everyone in my own fed, do you have scores for the Survive and Conquer match, or something of the like?
Again, thank you to APW, Jeff and Biggs, and congratulations to all the victors on the show, with particular congratulations to Ryan Ruckus.
