FEEDBACK TIME!

- Holy Evan that was a great promo, I'm psyched for Test for the Best. I was excited for it, but now I'm making it my focus on Sunday. It was great because the last few weeks, I got to see Evan as a face, and I was worried that he was slowly turning, but this segment put the stamp on Evan as a heel. Great opening to the show

- Solid match between the new guys and MD. Good showing between these two on the RPs too so I'm excited for them to stick around and get to know their characters more.

- I hate Lively, the character. I really do. I don't think anyone's been able to make me hate their character in a while. I really hate this guy for his actions. God, he's a prick. I thought it was going one way that would lead to Suzy saving Lively, but this was better. I got a couple chuckles too.

- Nice match for Jair to get some showcase, and I'm worried if anyone gets hit with the OMFG again. Whoever put that in, I'm gonna guess Jeff, but whoever it was, great.

- Good segment from Yarmouth with a follow-up from the battle royal. I liked that your brought that up, make sure people still remember it.

- Solid promo by Stefan, although the North American championship represent North America, Canada, Mexico, and USA. Although the design wouldn't tell you that exactly, but I do like the fact you wanna rename it to the German title, continuing the anti-american, pro-German that Raab is.

- Great, and I mean, great No-DQ match. I love backstage brawls. Ask Hart, I try to incorporate them if I can.

- I don't know if I like the Goodburn segment only because, technically, Goodburn was in the two matches he lost, it wasn't like he wasn't there. He was. The other part I don't like is the whole, calling people midcarders, but what happens to Goodburn if he loses to these mid-carders? Maybe he uses the "they got lucky" line, but what happens if two or three, is it luck? And the Harris line about bashing rookies head, technically anyone on Meltdown is a rookie minus Borderline, Lively, and Shadow right?

- Good squash by Yarmouth and he can move on from this. Which is good. I felt that Royce thing kept Yarmouth from growing.

- EWWWWW! BENNY AND DITA WERE KISSING! WITH THEIR TONGUES! ICKY! Sorry, the 5 year old me was typing for a second. I liked the segment although Shadow at the end threw me for a loop. Interesting plot point there.

- Great match by Jules, I knew I went over him what could happen at the end, but the way to get there was fun to read. I loved Jules on commentary as well. "I can't take a man seriously who doesn't share my love of tea" God, he's so english!

- He just kicked his mom, but she's a whore so it's ok? I'm internally conflicted. Still a great promo.

- Solid match between Dita and Wolves. I liked the commentary in this one. I like that they noticed he set up for the Shining Wizard of Oz and that it normally leads to the Cave Allegories.

- Did Borderland just go total OOC in that segment? I don't know how to respond as most of it was directed at me in some way.

- Totally didn't set that Julius promo up, I like how we were thinking along the same lines though. I wanted to do something to talk about the Farq/TJ situation that would set up the match didn't think Jules would write a segment. Great promo by Jules. I feel like this is a big deal now. Great....expectations (I'm kidding)

- Great Main Event for another week. MOTN there, it's closer than past week, but imo, MOTN on this one. It ends the show on a great note. It may be the last Meltdown for some of us so if it is, I'm happy alot of people contributed to the show. Always great to see alot of people make a show something special.

I'm excited for Test for the Best and next weeks Supershow for Meltdown, which, I'm wondering when that card will go up? Assuming that Rebel still be without power.

[Metrodamus]

Few quick thoughts - not going to go into great detail.

Evan Envi is a fuckin' champ. Love how he carries the belt and makes it seem important. A great opening segment to start things off and absolutely loved the snuff film line. On the same note I would've liked to have seen more from Rivera to help build the PPV in six days as that should be the pre-eminent focus of Meltdown given that its the only match on the PPV from the brand. Same deal with Stryker going forward into the Test for the Best tournament.

I've got nothing but good things to say about Yarmouth. He's improved a ton since he started here and he seems like an absolutely genuine guy out of character with a true love to play this game. I loved his little mini-feud with Royce that's been done the right way to give him the push he needed. See you on Overdrive buddy!

Benny Horowitz is absolute class. Every week I find myself chuckling at something involving the character. Danny's my boy and I think the character is a perfect fit for him as a secondary guy to blow off some smoke.

Lively, tough loss and I really wasn't sure on the segments. I guess they fit the character but they just didn't do it for me.

Borderland, big win but honestly I think that's going to be over shadowed by the segment that just came across as petulant. I'm sort of okay with using out of character venom as long as it fits the character and makes sense but this was just really stupid - there's no way around it. I think this game is built on trust and respect for others and this to me showcased a lack of it - so much so that I'd probably not want to work with Borderland in the future just because it seems to me that if something doesn't go his way he throws a strop and that's not's the way to succeed. Lively wrote a promo the same as anyone else does - I don't think anyone should take offense to what is said in them and the TJ bit made no sense because there's no interaction that I've seen between the characters and really all he did was give you exactly what you asked and that's honest feedback. If you're going to post in that board expecting to get your dick sicked than don't bother because that's not what it's meant for. TJ did it tactfully and if I were him I'd be really disgusted as he took time to do something for you and in a sense this is the repayment he gets.

Jules - Seriously class act here putting in the extra work with Meltdown. He's one of my favorite blokes here in APW and this is just one of the reasons. I love having the Mega Stars from the other two brands working with these guys because it gives them something to jump right into once they get the call.

All in all, I'm really, really psyched with the Meltdown guys ... there's a ton that I'd love to work with ... once they get the call of course.

[Lord Raab]

It needed to be done to be honest TJ doing a segment for Stefan because I haven't done one since 2 months ago and since the whole title thing. I really had to this week just to hype it up. I rarely if at all do any segments for wrestlers but it was because it was a big achievement that Stefan done on getting a title shot for the first time in his life.

Yeah got to say it was a really solid show all around and I really loved the No DQ match write up it was fantastic. Can't really give it any faults at all.

[The Soul Of Philly]

....I don't think I was knocking the promo itself just that one part about the title representing America and not mention the rest of North America

[Lord Raab]

I didn't know that much about the title but I keep that in mind my friend. Thanks for the advice.

[Evan De Parker]

-Eheheh, Jeff, you're awesome for makin' me feel all special with little old Envi opening the show.

-I absolutely loved that Lively and Borderland were promoting their match the whole night. It makes the main event seem special, instead of just "the last match on the card." The segment with Lively was pretty great, I must say. It makes me completely despise the character... He's good at getting heat, that man.

-Congrats to Dante. I really hope to see this guy's character develop in the future. I think with a good feud with a solid, established heel, Dante would quickly skyrocket. Guarantee it.

-I think someone a few weeks back made the Yarmouth comparison to Kane. I like it, and think he fits well in the monster role as a face, heel, or tweener. Characters like that never get boring as long as they have the right opponents. And kudos to Yarmouth for taking what started as a side-feud with Royce and running with it to make it one of the more compelling and consistent stories in current APW.

-Hopkins is very interesting to read. I love the character but wish there was some more direction there. I'm not sure who I can see him feuding with just yet... Maybe he just needs a run for the title, eh?

-TJ is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters in APW. I like the subtle, but not-so-subtle arrogance. Glad to see somebody stepping up and makign strides on the roster.

-Interesting promo with Raab, and well-written match putting him against Shadow. I'd even go as far as to call that the MOTN. Great effort by both guys, but I like seeing Shadow establish himself as one of the main guys to beat on Meltdown. I'm a little unclear as to why this match was No-DQ, but it happened, and I dug it.

-ALRIGHT, KYLE GOODBURN. I see what you're doin'. Challenge accepted.
But srsly. Excellent promo from a great writer, and I'm glad he's back. Goodburn's the future... And once this man has a feud-- or even a string of main event matches-- he's going to the moon. Hey, maybe he and Dante can have a little tiff with each other?

-Horrowitz is gold. Anything this man writes is pretty much top-notch. And he is partially responsible for Dita Morgan being the most consistently entertaining woman on this show. I love this little love triangle they have going on, and I even liked how Cameron Wolves has been loosely involved. I'm glad to see Wolves doing something for the time-being that keeps his name in people's mouths, because he's one of the most obvious rising stars in APW.

-Again, lovin' the TJ character, and hatin' Lively. But I love the segments. What a douche.

-The Shane Borderland promo happened.

-I enjoyed writing the main event. And that's all I have to say about that.

Great show, everybody. And thanks muchly for the feedback. I was quite proud of the Envi segment and I'm pleased that it was so well-received.

[yarmouth1]

All round very good show for Meltdown this week the only thing wrong with was the match I wrote which was me v Royce my first ever match and thought I could have done better with it.

It was a little rushed and noticed Jeff added a few things to the match as well which were needed so thanks Jeff.

I have written matches for another fed but in a different format so may be thats why its not so good imo.

Lot's of segments this week and Evan's was just storming wants more this kid is going places and will be drafted to one of the other two shows which are inferior to Meltdown imo.

[Shane Borderland]

Loved every bit of the show. it was awesome.

Evans segment was off the hook. Cant wait for the finals at T4TB. Too bad i couldnt join this year, lol.

Great job by the new guys!

Also i would like to thank Evans for catching on the drift about me talking about my match all night long. Because that was what i was going for.

Great segment by Lively. You was like me bro, kept your match in mind. Loved It!

All jokes aside though. Great job by everyone. I bet Rebel would be proud lol, Keep up the good work!

[[ManiC]]

Got to say, I'm used to writing matches for match feds so this summarised results thing was hard as hell :L
Overall I really enjoyed the show and I consistently wish I had time to RP as an active character

[Kevin Dahlia]

I Plan on giving my feedback either tonight, or tomorrow.

One question: Is there going to be a Meltdown for the next coming Monday? As in, right after TFTB?

[President Jeff]

Yes sir there is. Rebel said he's taking care of posting a card

[Jason Cashe]

The whole Borderland segment? Since I didn't mention this before. I thought it was OOC a bit too much as well. However their characters do know of each other since they've both taken part in Nasty Creation shit back when that was going on. So I took it more as an old wound type feel to it and maybe it was a "Backstage" beef but maybe Borderland the character has decided to just open all wounds so I'd wait and see what comes of it. Maybe they can work together, have a rivalry because it wouldn't be that hard to find mean things to say to one another, am I right?

[The Soul Of Philly]

TJ was never apart of the nasty 8 tournaments. I was just around to make graphics, just to be clear. I also never RPed with anyone other than maybe Chinnut when he was in PWA.

[Jason Cashe]

Well then make it something, make it a House Show segment where it's a few weeks back and you two have words. You can turn this into a bigger storyline than most currently have going and that's something you both can benefit from. Just a suggestion, both of you are cool in my book.
