Shockwave 2012 discussion

[President Jeff]

There you have it folks. Shockwave 2012 is now in the books.

Thanks to Biggs, Evan, Rebel, Terry, Kash, Callahan, Atkens, Chris Hart, Harris and TJ for writing matches


Thanks to Biggs, Evan, Kash, Terry, Callahan, Harris, Watson, Harris, Sykes, Lively, Bailey, Delikado, M&M and Borderland

If I missed someone, let me know

Talk about the show, discuss it, leave feedback, show you love for it.

I couldn’t have done it with out the help of everyone, you guys should all be proud.

[yarmouth1]

Cracking fucking show fella,Well what i read so far will read the rest in the morning, I think i should have a mention for some sort of segment even though it wasn't in the actual show lol.

[Shane Borderland]

I must say, one hell of a show this time. It kept me on my toes the entire time. Lots of good segments in and the match writing was spectacular! Like Jeff said give us a round of applause!

Now down to the point.

Yarmouth & Raab. Great showing this week. You guys did an awesome job getting the number one contenders spot for the tag titles. I can see you guys getting far, if you guys learn to work better. When i say better i mean like OV did, you know Kash and myself lol. Anyways one hell of a job. Congrats!

Now as for the Overdrive Championship, i really seen Gates coming out on top, but i was wrong. I just see Gates as the face of APW for some odd reason. Always have. I guess its because he was champion most of the time when i had my first run in APW. I feel he will get there again, soon. But Delikado, great retain my man. Awesome work once again! At first though when i seen Mania winning and then he won again, i thought Mania was going to win. But i was wrong once more.

Harris vs Watson, really blew my mind. I hardly ever see anything from Watson but i do form Harris. I clearly thought Harris had this one in the bag. But again, i was wrong, but both men give it their all, so good work gents and congrats to Watson!

I knew from the get go Level One was going to win that match. He is a fucking MONSTER! I would hate to know i was going up against L1. Good job man. Thats all i got to say about that!

Knucks man, im sorry. I truly thought you had this one on the bag. But Atkens got the best of you. Need to step up ya game bro, lol, jk. But seriously when are you getting a title shot?

Pro Life/ Suicidal Championship match, i loved it. I knew my boy Kash would rise again. Feels good being a grand slam champ huh? Even though you threw the belt into the audience, but u still come out victorious. Congrats bro on a job well done! I knew you could pull it off! But now, im on Asylum, so beware bro lmao.

Envi, you are making one hell of a impact in APW man. If you keep it up we might be seeing a new champ before long and i mean World Champion. Great win against Smith. Keep it up

The tap out championship match, i thought for sure TJ had it in the bag, but hell he got screwed like have before, so its all good. Too bad TJ's ankle was screwed up.I know he will be looking for revenge here soon. lol!

I knew that Shadow was going to pull it off. This guy is unstoppable. He has beaten me twice and i just cant seem to get the win over him. Shadow, damn good job my man. It sucked that you won it and then Envi stole your moment. So i see you two in one hell of a match!

Now Lively. Man we have had our ups and downs, we have had one hell of a run. You know with everything that we have said about each other, im glad that i got this opportunity for my biggest feud with a APW Hall of Famer. When i read your RP this week, i knew that you really brought it this time. Congrats on the win and retaining that title. Keep it up and maybe one day we can meet again!

With the World title match, i clearly seen Sally coming out on top. This girl is a beast. But when i seen the moment that i interfered with the match, fucking blew my mind. I was like what the hell am i doing in this picture. So Sally, dont come after me lol. But good job Bailey, and your welcome. Now im coming after you. Your my primary objective. So get ready for this infamous return of the BAD BOY!

Since i have been back, Noble has been the champ. Since Tmarv won the test for the best he has been on a roll. Then he goes up and issues an open challenge to anyone on the roster. Thats balls right there. This man has faith in his work and it surely does show that right now. Great job Tmarv, had a feeling you was walking out on top, with everything i have seen you do here lately. I was right about this one lol.

But overall, great fucking work by all. Everyone worked their ass off for this PPV. We all tried our best and had lots of fun, so wins or losses, it doesnt matter. We still the same fucked up family we were before. Congrats to ALL!!!

[Jason Cashe]

First I want to apologize to Krunk and Young Mannie. I wrote the Elimination Tag Match and should have waited until Deadline to do eliminations and finish the match. If I had known Carmen was going to no show AND quit then things would have been MUCH different. I will write both of your next Singles Matches and repay you for this mistake.

With that said, Congrats to Yarmouth and Raab! Getting Meltdown further attention by forcing Noble and Hart to give you shots at their APW Tag Titles. I give you luck and you will need that and more to take the Tag Titles back to Meltdown. Congrats though on the victory!

The Overdrive Title Match was Bonkers! The "Strange" Spinning Sambo Suplex spot was one of my favorites, I just like that move. Congrats to Delikado for defending in what has to be a close judged match. This Title usually springboards a career and Delikado is so close to being the best thing since Fake Boobs and Crack. BAWSE!

I love that the newest Tag Team M&M made an appearance for the PPV. Kudos to them for getting themselves involved because that's how you get shit rolling. Be noticed and you'll find some success. I look forward to more from this team.

Watson, good win against Michael Harris. It's probably a match that gets overlooked more so than not but it was well written and had a few very good spots. I could see you two having some good matches if you continued and made this into a feud. It'd be worth the effort. Carmen's "end" isn't deserved as she flaked and bailed on APW without anything but a few hours notice on the day of the show. Horseshit and unprofessional even for eWrestling. It ruins the work done on match writing and involving her character or anyone elses.

Lively, I hope you didn't mind my adding you to my segment. I figured since you're Grand Slam as well (us being the few who are) I wanted it to seem like there could be something between us down the line. Made sense at the time, hopefully makes sense to you now.

Level One and Chris Hart had me sitting at the edge of my seat. Something I thought would only come during my own match. This pulled off so many spots of pure gold and athletic competition on the highest level from both men. Hats off to you both for this match, the rps and the effort given to be apart of APW and make it known to the world of Online eWrestling.

Biggs should hire a Chyna or Jazz like female to fuck his wife up. Just saying. A man open's his heart in front of how many people? That's tough for a guy to do and she tried to "Kindly" stomp on it in response. Just like a female to force a guy into making a choice and then choosing herself anyways. I feel for you and yes, you're still Awesome!

Nothing funnier than to see Shane Borderland in Pink Font Color. Just fucking funny and THAT is going on 10,000 Reasons of Awesome! Good segment, Borderland is pushing to return to his former self and doing a swell job without me "Holding his hand" (Joking) but I cannot BELIEVE...I'll get to that later nevermind...

A Television Match? Srrious? I thought this was a joke, a slapstick match that was going to be full of laughter and softcore Wrestling. To my surprise it was not that and whoever wrote it gave it a very good touch of brutality which I liked. Congrats to Atken for picking up the win, not hard to do when Knuckles is your opponent or I mean, WHAT TROUBLE IT IS TO BEAT KNUCKLES! That's what I meant, Knuckles is my boy so I can clown.

What can I say about the Pro Life TLC Match? I'm not even sure I should have won. I sat jaw dropped and silent for a few seconds as I read the ending and felt as though I might have fucked off and smoked myself into seeing shit. The UTI off the ladder, awesome! I loved smacking Callahan with a chair, seeing and probably tasting his blood. I loved the match period even if I hadn't won it, well written as can be expected from Callahan. I know he would have smashed me if his first was more match relevant so I thank him for slacking off on that front. Haha! GRAND SLAM!! (One of Two who have Won a World Title) Also tossing the belt into the crowd, ridding them of Pro Life? Priceless, one of the best moments in Kash's career hands down.

Envi/Smith, I really hope you liked the match I wrote for you. I did some homework, looked into the history of your relationship and even talked to Envi some about it to get a full grasp on things and I hope it showcased it during the match. Being the Hometown kid, Envi took the face role for the match as requested and I think it worked and I really hope I didn't disappoint. Gotta love the Kick to the Danglers at the end right? I love that word now...

I thought TJ had the TapOut belt. I'm glad Farquhar is back though and I expect to see a rematch. Since TapOut Division is more or less an I Quit match I can see this not being over between the two. I enjoyed the ever so many submission attempts and the finish that confused TJ...Haha

Shadow sort of got rimmed, winning the Xtreme Title and then having to defend it so quickly after. Evan Envi is a stud and it's welcoming to see him in the same style of Championship that I'm in right now. We can merge them and create a Traveling Violent Belt in APW? No, you leave me alone DICK!!

Borderland going after Lively's NA Title was a welcomed match. I think these two have a chemistry against each other that almost feels real at times. I like it a ton and if not for Borderland coming to Asylum, I'd want to see this match again. Congrats on defending Lively, one of the few who did tonight!

Again at Borderland though is his bullshit interference during the World Title Match. Making an impact is helping the Title CHANGE hands, not helping the rat bastard who took it from YOUR HOMIE defend the belt. I might have better liked this spot if his words were in Pink again, that made me smile...FUCKER!! I hope Sally rips out your throat like in Road House.

The Main Event to me seemed shorter than it could have been. What a match on paper from these two and the end result was something of magic. Not since Gates has someone seemed so fitting to be Undisputed Champion. Noble is and will always be Great, even Legendary in the eWorld of Wrestling but this was a great match with a mark out moment to end it and change the course of Overdrive.

Tremendous Show as usual, spots that only define us as having the best of everything. Rpers, Characters, Match Writers, GFX Design Team, we are truly among the best out there and I know we could match and prove that anytime of the week against any fed out there today.

[Shane Borderland]

I forgot to mention, Biggs! One hell of a job writing the World Heavyweight Title match. I like the way you used Borderland, i couldnt do it any better. Just like to say mad props for that man.

[Anthony Bailey]

I have received mixed reactions at the last two PPV's so does that mean that a heel turn is imminent for The Promise???........only time will tell....... ;D

Bring it on my man. I never back down from a challenge

[Jason Cashe]

I hope you slip and tear a hamstring....Did I say that aloud? Silly me..

[yarmouth1]

That was one cracking show, Looking forward to the next paper per view when ever that is and what ever that is lol.

[Lord Raab]

I believe I read on the show that it's in October with gimmick matches Yarmouth. Sounds interesting actually. Thank you all for congratulating us as I wasn't expecting us to win at all to be quite honest. I am glad that mine and Yarmouth's RP's were good enough to earn this chance for the tag team titles. Good luck to Chris Hart and Kurt Noble whenever that match will happen.

[President Jeff]

Anyways, would love to hear more thoughts on the PPV

[Evan De Parker]

I wanna be fair and read some of the matches and segments that I've missed. I've sent some personal messages to a few people I specifically wanted to address in my feedback-- but expect a full review up sometime tonight after I watch RAW. ;D

By the way... incredible job to the writer of the Scramble match.

[Your JESUS]

I loved the show. Something missing though...Ahhh Jeff's Five Star Video Package. Yeah and when I get to work tomorrow, on break I will write up a full review that this show deserves.

[Reaver]

i dunno wat i could say that would bring any justice. how is it that every PPV seems to out do the previous one? the feuds, the segments.....speaking of which, im sorry i didnt get one in but i was very busy. i went to a charity golf tourny and found out that i EXTREMELY SUCK AT GOLF!! i think the best hits i had were the 3 shots i drove happy gilmore style. i think i finished with 3? anyways, me and phil really wanted to push wat we had going to make it something especially unique and he did a phenomenal job writing that match.

i LOVED that borderland attacked sally but now sally is gonna have to whoop that ass. and a most definate grats to Terry!! since day 1 i knew he was gonna make it and im glad he proved me right. grats man u earned it.

so much talent and so many killer rp's its so hard to get ahead so im glad things went down the way they did and dont regret it at all. GJ guys

[Evan De Parker]

Good show... Great show... Freakin' fantastic show, honestly. It took me a while to get around to reading every single part. I've been a bit under the weather lately, so don't kill me if I missed something huge.

The opening tag match was great. Every criticism I'd have, the writer has already pointed out. I will say, this is the exact reason I want until the RP deadline (or close to it) before I write matches. Sometimes these things happen, and it comes off as unfair to the better RPer(s). I give Kash props though. I know he doesn't have a lot of experience in these types of matches, and it came out beautifully.

I did speak to Carmen's handler, and though I dislike how she left, I can understand how stressful it is to be put under pressure in a place you don't want to be. This includes a random tag pairing. I don't hold any ill will toward her for leaving, and I hope to work with her again in the future. And maybe I missed it... But did Dante no-show as well? Shame, since that character was intriguing.

Did anyone read Watson's segment? The guy is great on the "microphone", and seems to finally be getting frustrated with his spot in APW. Not that anyone SHOULD be frustrated with their position in their career, but it gives Watson the edge he desperately needs. Honestly, his feud with Harris didn't light the world on fire, but with a little more incentive, there's no reason Watson couldn't/shouldn't be a big time player. Then more Harris and Rivera... Good segment, but I didn't like how much attention Harris was giving Rivera leading up to Shockwave. It definitely hurt Watson a bit, but it's almost forgivable I suppose, if you find out what ends up happening to Rivera.

Delikado is GOD. (I think I've said this enough to be considered blasphemous by now.) Everytime dog kennels are incorporated into wrestling, I mark out a little bit. Again-- I think this is a small gem people may have overlooked. And considering how amazing the match was, and how great Craven ended up looking, I can see how. EVERYONE looked damned good in this match. Hell, everyone came off looking better than the champ himself, which works well for a heel. I legitimately hope Deli gets a loooooooooong, healthy, entertaining reign out of this-- and then he'll inevitably be catapulted into bigger things. (Also, just the way the match was written has me on-board for a Mania/Deli feud).

M&M I like that the Meltdown stars are finally getting love on the PPVs (even Hannah Storm). I'm ecstatic to see Logan Alexander in APW, and hopefully soon everyone will see why. It'll be quite fun getting to work with him again.

Watson vs Harris... You know, I used to get annoyed at always hearing Harris (and Chase) call Harris "the best" with no merit. But the more I hear it, the more I love it, because you can tell that the character truly believes it. And he has supporters! Johnny Chase is gold on commentary during his matches. The Michael Harris character has made a complete turnaround over the past month, but much like Watson, he just needs that feud and incentive to cement him as a main player. Without a feud, and sadly with Rivera gone, Harris runs the risk of getting lost in the shuffle again. Seeing him and Watson continue their feud wouldn't be bad at all, what-with Rivera out of the picture and Watson's handler now having full internet capabilities. Everything post-match was written well, but I wish people would come up with something more creative than a stage spot.

The Kash-- and Lively-- segment happened. It got me intrigued for a potential Kash v Lively match in the future, but if there was another point to it, it's lost on me. Not a fan of marijuana being blatantly advertised on live television in a sports venue. That's just unrealistic. The Jeff segment that followed also confused me.

I didn't honestly pay loads of attention to Hart/Level One before this match, but I enjoyed reading it. In fact, I thoroughly enjoyed this read. My only gripe is that the dialogue got unbearably cheesy at points. Everything was good... Honestly, the stage spot happening right before this took away some of the impact that the stage spot in this match had, but that couldn't have really been helped. Hart losing this match does more for both characters than a Hart win would've, but I found myself pulling for the Hart character the entire time.

Intense Jeff/Harris segment. I hope Jeff actually looks for a suitable punishment and Harris' actions don't get forgotten. And the Callahan segment was another beautifully written piece tonight. I like that the Callahan character is evolving. I'm a bit ashamed for not following the Callahan character as much as I did when I first got here. I probably would've understood the situation better... Biggs clearly earns segment of the night though, with a pretty realistic portrayal of a public breakup, if I had to guess how one went. Biggs' downward spiral is appealing. It's not something you're used to seeing right after a return. It's different, and the stellar writing helps. I wonder where Biggs goes from here.

The Borderland segment after served its purpose, and the placement for it was perfect. After two intense segments, it was time for something slightly comedic. What came next though was a pleasant surprise... The announcers' buildup to Knuckles vs Atken was helpful for people who may not understand why it was taking place. (Honestly, it's the feud on Asylum I've followed the closest). The fact that there were 4 segments between the last match and this one made it seem fresh to the reader as well, and it was fast-paced and brutal. Excellent job, boys.

I liked Nailz' anti-drug PSA at the beginning of the TLC match, lololol. His mini-rant about Sykes was also amusing. And... Damnit, was Nailz mocking Jim Ross at the end? But this match was fun to read. Congrats to Kash and everybody involved. I'm happy to see Kash with some gold again. Perhaps this Season will make a dramatic turn into a good one? It DOES suck to see Callahan lose the Pro-Life Title, I must admit. He's a beast and should be holding that World strap soon. But at least Kash brought back the Suicide Title.

And yes. The Xtreme Title and Suicide Title would benefit greatly from being unified. A hardcore-esque title that can be defended on either show? It screams epic. But that's not my decision. I do feel, however, that APW has one too many titles.

Anyway-- kudos to Kash for a very well-written match between Smith and Envi. I always feel odd critiquing matches I'm involved in, but I always enjoy reading what Kash has written. I think the ending worked very well considering Evan's character. Now... To figure out where we go from here. Should be fun.

Good to see the Sykes character staying true to himself. His character works for him for now. Like many others, he just needs that solid feud. The Tap-Out Title match was good. The ending got me to be legitimately upset for TJ for a second. Welcome back Farq, and congrats on the vicory... I'm sure TJ will be after it again in no time though.

Fantastic, brief promo between Sally and Anthony. This is how two faces should be feuding-- period.

I enjoyed writing the Xtreme Title match, as brief as it was. Shadow and Stryker are two of my favorites to write for, but it sucks that Stryker had to step away for whatever reason. I hope the match served its purpose. What happened afterward though shocked even me... I feel for Shadow and will be a fan as long as he's around, but I've gotta thank Jeff for giving Evan the opportunity to get thrown back into the title picture.

Lively is giving the North American Title proper exposure again! Again, his segment was beyond weird-- but he retained his title, and in dramatic fashion against Shane Borderland, who apparently died and got resurrected? I dug it though, and I'm happy that Lively is on Meltdown for now... In a matter of maybe three weeks, he completely turned it into his show. Oh, and another Jeff appearance! What a busy man.

The Biggs segment was fantastic. I like that he had his own little story going tonight, and I'm happy to see him returning to the ring. Again.

Yes... Yes... Yes... Is all I can say to the Borderland spot in the WHC match. It was random enough, and the nod was subtle enough to give Bailey instant heel heat whether he really is a heel or not. Honestly, Bailey doesn't even need to turn heel to keep this feud with Sally going-- Borderland just needs to be a presence at this point. Asylum could use a fresh face in the main event scene. I do kind of wish Borderland had stayed silent at the end to build suspense for Asylum though.

What can I say about Noble v Marvin? We waited over a month for it, and it was worth it. If the Biggs stuff didn't sell the name of the PPV, Amy's actions at the end of the show did. Again-- I can't wait for Overdrive to see how all parties react to what happened. And it'll be weird seeing Noble sans-Undisputed Title. He won me over with his RPs this week, but I guess it truly is the Summer of Showtime.

I have to tip my hat to both Noble and Marvin though for delivering some excellent RPs this week. Congrats, Marv.

[Jason Cashe]

That feedback both hurt and gave good vibes all in the same sentence at times. It never dawned on me that marijuana on television is unrealistic. It shouldn't even be illegal but I feel you and the Lively thing was due to him being the only Grand Slam and wanting to remain as such by tricking Kash into smoking or attempting too. Hinting at a future match would be something that could happen though, I'm totally game. I'm very glad you liked your match, I'd might retire from Match Writing if that match was frowned on as well as the Tag Match.

[SalTal]

I'm not one for long posts, so I'll try and keep this as short as I can.

Scramble match was my favourite. Not because of the outcome or any shocks or surprises (not to say that the ending wasn't a surprise) but it was just a really good match. Well done writer!

What the ef!? Why/when did Carmen leave?

Congratulations to you, Terry. The championship is well overdue for you, though never an easy thing to get what with all the talent around here. This is going to be really good, your reign. I get a feeling.

Noble, no one can say you were anything less than a stellar champion. I won't be surprised to see your second championship starting again one day.

Some excellent segments in there - and some ones I was really thankful for. Example: AJP's/M&M's segment. Recently I've been lapse in keeping up with Meltdown (and OverDrive) and I was thankful to these promos for giving me a heads up about some of the things going on. But the best thing was they were entertaining. As said, AJP's was interesting, so too was Callahan, Biggs and Watson. Harris and Jeff was a good on-going thing too.

Speaking of: If no one is taking Harris seriously now, there's something wrong in the world. Yeh, he might have lost, but walking out from the night he really came off with a win (in terms of character development). I think ONiH is built for a character like this so I'll be watching closely.

Borderland was all over the place! Looks like Asylum is going to have some interesting weeks ahead!

Well done Bailey - good win here. I don't think I'm just finished with you just yet though haha!

Big surprise there with Callahan taking the loss. I thought he'd be champion forever. Though, losing the belt certainly frees him for ... other things, eh?

Final shout out to Evan Envi. Big win and big push here. Might just be the best thing to come out of Meltdown since its inception. Keep on kicking ass!

Great job everyone. Segments were solid, the matches were the best (probably the best that a PPV has had - not one poor match in any of them!). Thanks to Jeff for putting it all together. Keep up the good work guys and girls!

Yes, I'm finally free of my Pro Life obligations and now we can run away to form a country duo.

[C.J. Gates]

Definitely was a great show, as most of the APW Pay-Per-Views are. Everything leading up to the show did it's job to give some good payoffs in matches and the feuds were well developed.

A lot of good segments too that helped serve the purpose of character development. None of them seemed truly out of place on a PPV which is great to see, and they were all well written and captivating. The Biggs stuff was nice to see, especially since he wasn't booked on the show, he still keeps himself relevant.

Big congrats to Terry Marvin. I had a feeling you were going to win, you've really been putting everything into what you write since your return. Really looking forward to what you're going to do with the title. Someone earlier said the match seemed shorter than it should have been and I think that it works well since I don't think this stuff between Noble/Marvin is over, and it wouldn't surprise me if Noble comes firing back with enough to take the title back.

Also congrats to Envi. Jeff likes to throw curves into things, and that was definitely one to me. I didn't see it coming, but it was very nice to see. I'm sure Shadow will have a lot to say about it

To everyone in the scramble match: Well done. Getting my RPs up before the weekend meant I didn't really get to read any of them (more or less) before I RPed, though everything you guys posted was great. Definitely gave the match a big time feel before the writing of it. Congrats to Delikado on retaining, well earned.

A lot of interesting things happened at Shockwave, which is what the PPV is for. Nice to see some feuds/stories develop anew throughout the night, because it really gives a lot of people some direction going into ONIH. Definitely looking forward to seeing how everything unfolds at Overdrive.

What a storming show yes i spelt it wrong Jeff but am still the better speller lol.

Loads of segments which i say will always make the show.

Kash that tag match was exactly the way I wanted it to happen great stuff fella.

I wish I had the energy to write you guys a long response about how much I enjoyed being a part of Shockwave 2012 and about how much I enjoyed it, but I don't have that much energy left after a hard working schedule. Needless to say, this show was amazing, and had a lot of good matches. Most of the matches could have basically been coin flip matches and that is what is so special about the cast that this fed has to offer. There is no lacking of talent anywhere on this board and you should all give yourselves a nice pat on the back for the effort and energy you put into making this Shockwave better than the last or the one before the last. As I said before I feel blessed to be part of this whole experience and if I wasn't utterly exhausted I would write you a paragraph for each match and segment that I enjoyed the most. Instead I'm going to give out my congratulations to our new and retaining champions.

Special shout outs are to my boy Kash on winning the Suicidal Championship, to my friend T-Marv with his first Undisputed title reign (enjoy it, because you earned it), and to my friend Evan with his surprise twist title win. To all of those who didn't get shout-outs don't think I forgot about you or anything like that because all of you did a wonderful job. Win or lose you guys have made this place an excellent place to write competitively and create interesting story lines and build feuds. I am proud of all of you. So once again guys...good job.

Great show and Sally really did push my promos to where they haven't gone before. Not saying that the two I did for Shockwave were better than my older stuff, because I've written better promos in the past IMO, but Sally caused me to come from an angle where I hadn't gone with an opponent before. Kash played the "heel" in our feud so the trash talking aspect was a bit easier, but how could I possibily trash talk THE Sally Talfourd while keeping my moralistic persona? Sam had me sweating bullets when I went to promo lol and that's good. I needed to push through and get some good material up. Not taking anything away from Kash, Rebel, or any of my other former opponents, but Sally is the perfect person for me to face to see if I truly am as good as they say...

The winners Marv, Kash, Envi, Watson, Raab, Yarmouth, etc proves why this place is the elite of e-wrestling. The ones who were defeated (Nobody's a loser if you can cut it here, period) have nothing to be ashamed of because everyone gave it their all.

I look forward to evolving the Bailey character more and more as time goes on. I'm open to any feedback or constructive criticism if anybody out there has any. It's hard to be a legitimate babyface today in the e-world so I want my character to be the best that he can be.

Not looking forward to getting pummeled by Marv and Callahan in the near future, but hey you win some and you lose some? It's only a game any way right?? lol.

This was one of if not THE best PPV I've been involved with in APW(i seem to say that every PPV).

From top to bottom the Show was entertaining, interesting, and just plain awesome. MOST of the segments were top notch. I admit there were a few that were out of place and just felt like filler, but they were definitely overshadowed by the rest.

I loved the matches top to bottom. THere was a lot of "crazy" going on in this event and that could sometimes cloak the quality of the matches(he says with ONIH 2 months away) but I thought it just added to the awesomeness.

One critism I do have is the amount of "take out" spots that were littered in the PPV. What I mean by this is people getting severely injured by a huge spot either during or after a match. It just seemed repetitive a bit. But no super big deal

Great rps this week. I mean it, really top notch by everyone with tons of close matches.

Yea I was thinking of having Jules drop the stairs on tjs exposed ankle, effectively taking him out, but then I remembered the tap out title can change on dq.

Overall a good show, basically everyone said most of my thoughts but I wanna echo Sally's part about meltdown stars and segments. I was very happy to see a lot o segments from meltdown now I'm excited to see those indivuals perform.

[The Soul Of Philly]

Damn auto correct, overall great show. I've said overall good so many times it just finishes my statements for me

Not going to say a lot because it's mostly been said, plus I'm in no position to give a full analysis at the minute. I only read the matches and they were all full of merit. This note is really to congratulate people like Terry Marvin, who has captured everyone's imagination here and is a deserving champ, Anthony Bailey, for proving he is the real deal, Kash, for surely cementing future HoF status, and Callahan, even though he lost he deserves kudos for making the Pro-Life Suicide Title feel important again during his long reign.

Also, want to give a shout out to TJ for his sterling job on writing our match. As I told you in PM, it was exactly what I expected and hoped for and gives us plenty to work from in the next cycle.
