Thanks to AKA, Tmarv, Delikado and Chris Hart for writing matches this week

Thanks to Rebel, Level One, Biggs, Tmarv, Nick, Delikado, Noble, Billy Pepsi, Dionysus, Harris, and Kurt Noble.

If I missed anyone, let me know so I can give you bonus points for the APW Rankings.

Feedback on the show is welcomed. Remember, the feedback isn’t only for me, but for the match writers and the people who wrote segments.

I'll leave more detailed shit later.....

But I thought this show was AWESOME.

Everything was set up and nicely laid out for the PPV. Can't wait.

I agree with Tmarv - this was probably the strongest Overdrive in a few weeks. Whereas the last two were probably segment heavy, I think this one had the right balance. Solid matches throughout, and I thought the ME was well written. All the Mayhem matches got some solid hype too.

I'll give a special mention to Billy Pepsi whose involvement in the BRB qualifiers gave that match some hype and extra exposure. Well done to this guy for taking the initiative on this.

I really enjoyed writing segments for this Overdrive and also I enjoyed reading this Overdrive. A lot of stuff was going down and I would like to say that this was the perfect lead up show to a PPV. There was plenty of action and as Jules pointed out, an almost perfect balance to segments, and matches. Anyway, I'm not very good at this reviewing thing, but I will tell you what...to everyone who was involved in this Overdrive, good job.

I'm a little disapointed that Asylum gets more feedback than Overdrive does

[C.J. Gates]

Overall, I think this was a better show then the past few we've had. There weren't too many segments to make it seem too segment heavy and to wash out the matches, but there were still enough to keep things interesting. I know I, for one, had initially thought about sending in another segment, but looking at the show, I think it works better that the Noble/Gates story didn't get too much air time until the confrontation, which I think capped it off well.

The matches were well written. I enjoy how we're starting to see shorter matches that might (I haven't been reading every RP) depict a squash or a one sided victory mixed in with matches like the main event which was so well written.

I've enjoyed all of the stories that have been building toward the PPV. The tag team feud, Dionysus/Harris, Hart/Delikado and the one that has me interested the most, Marvin/Saint. We have a bunch of talented writers in APW, and it shows with the RPs and the stories that people are telling with their respective feuds.

Very well done to everyone involved and I look forward to seeing what everyone brings to the PPV!
