Sorry for the late results folks - we're off by about an hour. I got caught up in Thanksgiving day stuff, the Redskins game, and trying not to move. Yes, I've thrown my back out by coughing so violently the past 48 hours.
Thanks to Envi and Biggs for writing the elimination matches.
Segment bonuses go to Terry Marvin, Biggs, Kurt, Callahan, Evan Envi, Delikado, A.C. Smith, Strike, AJP, Dionysus, Level One, Shadow, and C.J. Gates.
Feedback is welcome.

Haven't read the whole show yet but bravo to Callahan for the "Re-Election" segment! A classic read and one of your best segments in the recent months.

I really enjoyed this show, I felt like having it consist of survival matches along with a Thanksgiving theme really made this show stand out as a special one.
I'm a big fan of how we started the show off with Biggs and Marvin going at it...its amazing to think that Christmas Chaos is rapidly approaching so everyone involved in this segment did a great job at building up heat to (what I assume will be) the main event at CC. Then there's that sneaky Level One again at the end of it too...if only he had a way to get into the main event! If only...
Man...Kurt Noble is nobody's friend...although my efed senses are tingling over the idea of a Noble/Callahan vs Hart/Strike match in the near future.
Shadow you pervert...how dare you sneak a peek at the lovely Ms Storm and Ms Paige! The Shadow/Envikado segments were nicely done. I was thinking that since this was a special edition of Overdrive we wouldnt get much angle development but everything churned along nicely. And I said it last week, but I'll say it again...I would be a happy efedder if I could just sit back and read Envi and Delikado's segments & roleplays for the rest of my life. These two are great together, I cracked up at Envi trying to make sense of Delikado proclaiming he wants to make wrestling babies. That was my favorite exchange of the night. Good to see Shadow looking to take it to them though, gives spice to their ongoing angle as well as hypes up the first survival match of the night...
...as does the following segment with "Team Envikadaubmouth" as I shall now dub them. Cool little exchange between partners here, and then Envi inviting Dionysus out to ringside? These reeks of trouble.
Loved the first tag survival match of the night, that was a pay-per-view quality match. Great spots through the entire card, one thing I really liked was how we were able to launch the careers of the new draftees to Asylum and Overdrive with a lot of momentum. Gooch comes out of this match looking like a million bucks, he basically had to fight by himself for a large portion of the match and even as a bloody mess he kept swinging. And what else to say about AJP? She's going to have a hell of a run on Asylum and goes into that show with the momentum of eliminating four men in a single match! I'm really excited to see her start there...massive props to her and everyone who worked on this one!
I was very curious to find out what A.C.'s segment was going to be after some of the OOC rumblings about it...holy crap...a thanksgiving dinner with Smith, Knuckles and Kash? If I had the power to make this into a sitcom, I would totally do it. I got a big chuckle out of Bobby telling AC that Knuckles had nowhere else to go...he's just like Richard Gere. Just without the gerbil. And what would a holiday themed Overdrive show be without a food fight? Very entertaining segment, nice work.
I'm going to echo what was said above about Callahan's seggy...amazing. I love that Callahan picked himself as his running mate too...that was a great bit. Asylum better get ready!
Noble and Strike continue to tease a match...man, I want to see this happen in APW so bad. I was hoping for some more Hart on this show, but I think Strike did a good job keeping this angle rolling. By the way, jaded Noble is the best Noble...I, like everyone else, dig the attitude lately.
Level-One vs Gates? Yes please. I was glad this got attention in the show after what happened last week...in my eyes Gates is the defender of all things APW so I liked that there was no pussy-footing around a showdown between the two. They just got right into it. Rebel books it at CC...so it shall be. I've got an interesting theory about this that I'll get into later though.
Damn you Level One! You can't even let the man walk to the ring without jumping him! You belong in jail! A jail in Alabama! While I feel like the first survival match had a bit more strategy and character interaction in it, this one was stacked full of action right from the brawl at the get-go. I was legit laughing out loud at Callahan losing his contacts at the end of the match to distract the ref...awesome heel moment. We now have our battle royal...
Damn you AGAIN Level One! What a sneaky thing to do...totally fits the character perfectly. No friends here in APW it seems, at least among the heels. Plus you KNOW that Level One doesn't care how he won it, as long as he gets that title shot in hand. Hmmmm. A title shot you say? It'll be interesting to see the next show and if Rebel decides to call off the Gates/Level One match and simply inserts Level One into the CC main event. Or if he gives Level One the opportunity to fight for the Overdrive or Xtreme title and go into his match with Gates as a possible champion? Anywho, congrats to that bastard Level One for the win!
Lots of answers await us on the next Overdrive...can't wait for the bookings to come out! While this show was a tad bit heel-heavy, it did a phenomenal job of building up to the next Overdrive and all of the major angles progressed. Can't ask for anything more. Great job everyone!

Johnny Rebel is ten seconds from losing his GM job for lack of color. ;D Anyways, fun show this one was. My character was written brilliantly throughout so I appreciate the work Biggs put into this week - even if I didn't see any of it coming. The end of the year awards are coming up, let's get that heel award. Even I hate my own character right now. ;D A few standouts - AC Smith's thanksgiving segments. I was actually going to throw my name in the hat for these but I forgot - they turned out wonderfully well. Jason Kash and Knuckles being apart of these couldn't have work any better anyways, so I'm glad it worked out for the best. These vigs could only ever work on a show like this. - Kurt Noble/Chris Strike segment. I love where Kurt noble and Chris Hart feud is going in general... and Kurt Noble's line last week which he brought up again this week of putting another Chris in the hospital (was that it?) was pretty fucking awesome. - Biggs being attacked by Level-One and then Terry Marvin stepping out the match to make the numbers fair really built sympathy up for both characters in a face manner - it also made the result less predictable. I like the dynamics between these two. As for the Turkey bowl matches they were all very well written... I was legitimately waiting for my elimination that never came and ending sequence swerved the fuck out of me when it finally came. I bet my mash potatoes it got Callahan too... that's just mean, cruel! A lot more segments then I thought would be on a three match show - we all need to build our shit though, so let's go. |
