Hey guys (and gals), what's going on? Happy New Years. I'm looking to receive some honest feedback on my match writing. I feel like it is average/subpar and to be honest, I only offer to write them in order to help Biggs out. I feel that there are others who are totally capable of doing a much better job than I am but I want to feel like I'm contributing to the good of something around here.
T-Marv indirectly suggested that I watch "real" wrestling in order to improve. Do you all agree? I'm just stuck in the "old" days (late 80's, early 90's, nWo, DX, Attitude Era, WCW Invasion, etc.) so it's kind of hard for me to follow what's going on now. "Real" wrestling just doesn't interest me anymore for some reason.
I'm not going to post links, I'll just post two of my latest ones below so you won't have to scroll through the entire show. Let me know if I should just keep doing what I am doing or if I need to change the way that I approach this whole task. Thanks in advance...

"Under and Over It" by Five Finger Death Punch plays. After a few seconds, Knuckles darts out with the Dark Match Champion strapped around his shoulder and under his arm (corner to corner) and heads to the left side of the stage taunting the crowd as some cheer and some boo, he runs to the right side of the stage and gets the same reaction. He goes to the top of the ramp and stares at the crowd. He grins, shakes his head and storms down to the ring. He runs over to the middle rope in the back corner and gets the crowd roaring with mixed reaction, then he takes off his silk shirt, Italian hat, Dark Match Championship and gold chains and hops around in the corner with a stern focused look ready to attack.
Stenfelder: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first…hailing from the Bronx, New York and weighing in at two hundred and fifty five pounds, he is the Dark Match Champion…Joooohhhnnnnyyyy Knnnuuuccckkkllleeeessss!!!
The house lights in the arena go out completely, thunder and rain can be heard from a distance, all while the image of a large mountain complete with a temple atop the peak is seen on the LCD screen while the beginning of “God of Thunder (Alive IV Symphony)” by KISS blares out of the PA system. The shot zooms into the temple as the drum solo begins…and up towards a throne at the top of some stairs. A man rises from the throne and makes his way down the steps…and once he nears the camera, he looks up at the sky and makes his way over towards a pool of water. The man looks down into the water, and once he does…a shot of lightning hits the water! As the lightning hits the water in the video, streams of smoke shoot up from the ramp way area and high above.
“The God of Thunder” Chris Strike emerges from the curtains, with the Suicidal Title around his waist, and steps out into the limelight, drawing a loud reaction from the APW fan base as he stops in front of the entrance ramp and slowly raises his right arm up, hand open. A smirk falls on his lips as the self-proclaimed God of Thunder is showered by gold, white and black streamers and two bright white pyros on the sides of the ramp. Smirking, Strike begins making his way down the ramp, having the occasional fans reaching out towards him from the rail, all while keeping his eyes solely focused on the ring.
Chris then makes his way up the ring stairs, using the steel pole for support, putting his right foot over the middle rope and as he is about to get inside, Strike suddenly turns around and finds himself with both elbows locked around the top rope, his entire upper body exposed to the crowd’s sight. The God of Thunder removes his belt and just gives the fans a sly smirk as flashes of light go off, before going under the middle rope and into the ring. He looks around at the crowd and walks up to the nearest corner, leaning against the ropes while stretching his arms out as “God of Thunder (Alive IV Symphony)” fades…
Stenfelder: And his opponent…hailing all the way from São Paulo, Brazil and weighing in at two hundred and eighteen pounds, he is The God of Thunder and the APW Suicidal Champion…Chhhhrrrriiiisssss Stttrrrriiiiiikkkkeeee!!!
Nailz: Two champions are scheduled to face off one on one right here tonight in Cleveland. What an awesome prelude to Christmas Chaos this is going to be!
Beckett: Umm Nailz…you do know that Knuckles is not an actual champion right? I mean President Jeff, Schmidt, or anybody never officially sanctioned that belt. And not to burst any bubbles since I am in the holiday season spirit, but it won’t ever be sanctioned as long as these men are still living and running APW.
Nailz: Of course I know that Beckett but according to Knuckles himself, he is the best champion on the entire APW roster. And speaking of Knuckles, as of recently he has come under much skepticism for potential identity theft. Is Johnathan Sorrentino the man that he truly claims to be?
Beckett: My guess would be no not at all. Any man who is willing to stoop so low and “create” his own championship belt is less than a man to me. This has to be one of the most foolish things I have ever seen in the history of Asylum.
As Knuckles tries to hype up the fans in attendance here at the Quicken Loans Arena but fails horribly, Chris Strike attacks his heedless opponent with a hard Mongolian Chop. And another one! And another one right after that! Strike with an irish whip on Knuckles….Knuckles bounces off of the ropes….dragon screw by Chris Strike! Getting back on his feet quickly, Chris Strike grabs the legs of Johnny Knuckles and applies an elevated Boston Crab looking to put his opponent away pretty early in the game. Knuckles promptly scrambles a few inches towards the ropes and throws his left arm over the bottom one while Strike immediately releases the hold. Strike attempts to drag Knuckles to the center of the ring by his legs but Knuckles holds onto the bottom rope for dear life. After a minor struggle with one another, Knuckles twists his body sideways to get free and then manages to send Chris Strike stumbling backwards with a kick. Knuckles knows that his window of opportunity to rebound is very microscopic, so he hurriedly rises to his feet and nails Strike with a forearm smash. Knuckles lifts the much smaller Strike up with ease…vicious cradle neckbreaker by the Dark Match Champ on the Suicidal Champ!!
Nailz: Knuckles defeated Strike on the last episode of Sunday Night Asylum. Though his means of winning are debatable, do you think that the result will be any different tonight?
Beckett: Hopefully not. As goofy as he is, I hope Knuckles wipes the mat with that pretty boy Chris Strike again! He did it once so I’m pretty confident that he can duplicate his success for a second time.
Knuckles stomp to the hand of Chris Strike as he tries to regain his composure and stand to his feet. Another stomp…and another! Knuckles stomp to Strike’s other hand as Strike falls chest first into the mat curling his hands. Not wasting any time, Knuckles delivers a falling headbutt to Chris Strike. Knuckles lifts Strike up from the mat and whips him into the ropes…as he bounces off of them, Knuckles performs a well executed flapjack. The crowd begins to rally behind Chris Strike as Knuckles gains the upperhand and tries to shun any signs of a second wind. Knuckles picks Strike up from the mat once again…Knuckles with a suplex attempt but Strike holds onto his jean shorts. Knuckles tries for another suplex but this time Chris Strike musters up the strength to reverse it, hitting a suplex of his own! Strike and Knuckles both stand to their feet simultaneously but Strike is the first to rush to the offense as he hits Knuckles with a sleeper slam! Legdrop by Strike across his opponent’s neck and as he stands, he surges to climb to the top turnbuckle. With flawless vertical posture and his back turned towards Knuckles, Strike leaps off of the turnbuckle and lands a moonsault right across the body of his fallen opponent, Johnny Knuckles! Strike stays on top of Knuckles for the pin as the referee begins to count.

NO!
Strike, now on his feet, drops an elbow straight into the chest of Johnny Knuckles and Knuckles rolls over in pain. Hitting Knuckles with a few stomps in his midsection, Strike picks him up from the mat. Knuckles tries to fight back with a few stiff jabs to the face of Chris Strike, but he successfully defends himself. One handed bulldog by Chris Strike! Strike goes for a double arm backbreaker but somehow Knuckles manages to flip him over his back. Knuckles mounts Strike and begins to pummel him in the head with repeated punches. Knuckles picks Strike up by his hair and whips him into the opposite corner turnbuckle…NO! Chris Strike reverses it and sends Knuckles crashing into the turnbuckle back first!
Strike charges towards Knuckles running full speed and nails him with a hard clothesline. The force makes Knuckles stumble forward a bit while leaving the turnbuckle fully exposed. Strike notices this and once again climbs to the top rope, but this time facing Knuckles in a sitting position. Knuckles is still within his reach so Strike stretches out to grab him and tightly wraps his right arm around his neck. Strike uses both of his legs to push himself off of the middle rope…diamond dust…NO!!! Knuckles reverses the move while Strike was in mid air and hits a piledriver instead!! The crowd is shocked by the retraction. Knuckles lifts Strike up…BROKEN PROMISE!!! The Suicidal Champ is out cold as Knuckles grabs his leg and covers him for the pin.

Winner: Johnny Knuckles[/center]
Stenfelder: Here is your winner, Joooohhhnnnnyyyy Knnnuuuccckkkllleeeessss!!!
"Under and Over It" begins to blast through the PA system once again as the referee hands a satisfied Knuckles his Dark Match Title and raises his hand in victory. The crowd erupts into both cheers and boos.
Nailz: Another win by Knuckles over Chris Strike! And as you can see, Knuckles is leaving ringside and trying to drum up some more cheers. But I think that the fans are a bit hesitant given his recent identity theft allegations.
Beckett: It’s all allegations until he’s proven guilty!! We live in America for crying out loud! You can’t convict the innocent. Congratulations to Johnny Knuckles though! Sally might have to find herself a new “pillar,” because this clown Strike is crumbling oh so fast.
Asylum goes to a commercial break as Johnny Knuckles walks up the ramp and heads backstage with the Dark Match Title draped across his shoulder. A disappointed Chris Strike slowly walks up the ramp after him and he is dragging his Suicidal Title. Once Strike approaches the curtain, he disappears behind it.

From the back comes Jason Kash as "Out Of My Mind" plays and the fans fill the arena with boos and a few cheers from his loyalists. Kash grabs his head with both hands and shakes it like he's losing control but then leaps up off his feet and comes down landing on one knee. He slaps the top of the entrance ramp as the music goes into it's flow. Kash spins around and begins to get pumped. Slapping his chest, he proceeds down the ramp and gets to ring side. Kash leaps up and lands on one knee onto the ring apron. Pulling himself to both feet, he bounces through the middle ropes and enters the ring. No taunting, no celebration for the fans as he backs into a corner and wait for the sound of the bell.
Stenfelder: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first…hailing from Houston, Texas and weighing in at two hundred and thirty pounds, he is the former Suicidal Champion…Jaaasssooonnn Kaaasssshhhh!!!
Elgar’s Pomp & Circumstance March No. 1 in D (“Land of Hope and Glory”) blasts from the PA. Julius Farquhar steps through the curtain wearing the Tap Out Title around his waist and carrying a flagpole bearing the red cross of St. George on white black background (the flag of England). He waves the flag around and walks to the ring ignoring the insults being hurled at him or any attempts to touch him.
Stenfelder: Coming to the ring from Windsor, England; he weighs in at 228lbs...he is “quintessentially English” and the APW Tap Out Champion...JULIUS FARQUHAR!
Farquhar is inside the ring, waving the flag around. He climbs onto each turnbuckle and waves the cross of St. George to all corners, before discarding it, taking off his belt, and preparing to face his opponent.
Nailz: This is going to be a great match! And one has to wonder how Kash felt when Farquhar said that his very own birth was the source of all his problems.
Beckett: ‘Tis the season to be jolly, how do you think he felt?
Nailz: Farquhar has held the Tap Out Title for a little over five months now and Kash, though he recently lost the Suicidal Title to Chris Strike, is coming in here tonight with a bit of momentum after defeating Young Mannie this past week on Meltdown.
Beckett: Momentum would be a bit of a stretch don’t you think Nailz? I mean I like Kash with his new attitude and all, but for crying out loud, we’re talking about Young Mannie here. Always call a spade a spade, always…
The bell rings as the two megastars begin to circle one another. The brawler in Jason Kash looks to knuckle up with the more technically based Julius Farquhar. Both men are looking to make the first move but not too quickly because one minor slip up could put them on the receiving end of some merciless offense. Kash raises his right hand and non verbally challenges Farquhar to a little test of strength. Farquhar begins to think to himself but he doesn’t fall for it as he hastily nails Kash in the midsection with a boot. As Kash bends over, Farquhar strikes him right in the face with a stern elbow smash and follows up with a hard football kick straight to the head, taking Kash down to the mat. Farquhar, standing above Kash’s body, attempts to apply a kneebar and is really close to locking it in before Kash begins to impel him with repeated hard right fists to the side of the head. Farquhar finally relents and backs away from Kash as Kash leaps to his feet and collides in the center of the ring with Farquhar. Kash has brought his opponent onto his turf as the two begin to trade harsh punches igniting a brawl and a rowdy reaction from the Louisville fans in attendance.
Nailz: Farquhar got the best of Kash the first time they met inside the squared circle but if Kash can control the pace of this match and keep it off the mat where Farquhar is more dominant, then the outcome could be different this time around.
Beckett: Talk about a paradox Nailz! I don’t know who to root for. I like Kash but I’m also a huge fan of Farquhar. Ahh!! This is becoming more stressful the more that I think about it. I’m crossing my fingers and toes and hoping for a draw.
Nailz: Is it really that serious Beckett?
Beckett: Yes my friend, it’s that serious!
Kash now with the upperhand lifts Farquhar up…twisting spinebuster that shakes the entire ring!!! Kash looking to take it to the mat after all doesn’t waste time and grabs Farquhar’s legs…he has locked in a firm elevated cloverleaf!! Can Kash put the Tap Out Champion away with a taste of his own technical medicine? With all of his might, Farquhar begins to slowly inch his way towards the ropes as he is already not too far from them. Showcasing that signature toothless grin of his, Kash strains to keep the move locked in as tightly as possible. Farquhar is getting closer…and closer…he reaches the ropes!! Kash keeps the move applied as the referee begins the five count, with Kash finally letting go at four. Kash picks Farquhar up to his feet and irish whips him into the opposite corner’s turnbuckle. Kash charges towards Farquhar and nails a stiff clothesline! Kash climbs to the second turnbuckle and begins to clobber Farquhar with strong punches as the Louisville audience counts off each punch. Once Kash reaches punch number five, Farquhar mounts up enough strength to toss Kash off of him! Kash’s back lands on the mat as Farquhar leaves the corner and hits a standing knee drop on Kash’s leg. Farquhar pins Kash as the referee begins to count.

NO!
Did Farquhar think that move would be enough to put Kash away? Kash has an extremely high pain tolerance so it’s going to take much more than that and Farquhar is well aware of this. Farquhar lifts Kash up and knees him in the gut not once, not twice, but three times. Kash tries to fight back but Farquhar sensibly dodges his every move. Putting Kash in a headlock position, Farquhar hits him with a running bulldog! Farquhar picks Kash up once again, hits him with an English uppercut, and quickly takes him down with an English DDT!!
Farquhar, now in full control, gazes upon the fans in disgust. Signaling for his finisher, Kash is slow to rise to his feet but before he can even get a chance to, Julius comes off of the ropes…PAY HOMA…NO!!! Just in the nick of time, Kash grabs Farquhar’s legs while slamming him into the mat in a sitdown powerbomb position!! Awesome reversal by Jason Kash! Farquhar rapidly rises to his feet but Kash pounces…UNDER THE INFLUENCE!!! Kash hits his finishing move on the Tap Out Champion! Kash rolls over for the pin.

Winner: Jason Kash[/center]
Stenfelder: Jaaasssooonnn Kaaasssshhhh!!!
“Out Of My Mind” begins to blast through the PA system once again as the referee raises Kash’s hand in victory.
Nailz: Big big win here tonight in Louisville for Jason Kash! He wasn’t successful against Chris Strike on the last Asylum but tonight was certainly a different story for The Influence.
Beckett: I cannot argue with that Nailz. Like I said earlier, I’m a fan of both megastars so I was okay with either outcome. Congratulations Jason Kash!
Asylum goes to a commercial break as a disappointed Julius Farquhar walks up the ramp, with the Tap Out Title draped across his shoulder, and heads backstage. Jason Kash walks up the ramp after him celebrating and hyping himself up and once he approaches the curtain, he disappears behind it.
T-Marv indirectly suggested that I watch "real" wrestling in order to improve. Do you all agree? I'm just stuck in the "old" days (late 80's, early 90's, nWo, DX, Attitude Era, WCW Invasion, etc.) so it's kind of hard for me to follow what's going on now. "Real" wrestling just doesn't interest me anymore for some reason.

”Quintessentially English” Julius Farquhar vs. Jason Kash
[/u]The bell rings as the two megastars begin to circle one another. The brawler in Jason Kash looks to knuckle up with the more technically based Julius Farquhar. Both men are looking to make the first move but not too quickly because one minor slip up could put them on the receiving end of some merciless offense. Kash raises his right hand and non verbally challenges Farquhar to a little test of strength.

Kash now with the upperhand lifts Farquhar up…twisting spinebuster that shakes the entire ring!!! Kash looking to take it to the mat after all doesn’t waste time and grabs Farquhar’s legs…he has locked in a firm elevated cloverleaf!! Can Kash put the Tap Out Champion away with a taste of his own technical medicine? With all of his might, Farquhar begins to slowly inch his way towards the ropes as he is already not too far from them. Showcasing that signature toothless grin of his, Kash strains to keep the move locked in as tightly as possible. Farquhar is getting closer…and closer…he reaches the ropes!! Kash keeps the move applied as the referee begins the five count, with Kash finally letting go at four. Kash picks Farquhar up to his feet and irish whips him into the opposite corner’s turnbuckle. Kash charges towards Farquhar and nails a stiff clothesline! Kash climbs to the second turnbuckle and begins to clobber Farquhar with strong punches as the Louisville audience counts off each punch. Once Kash reaches punch number five, Farquhar mounts up enough strength to toss Kash off of him! Kash’s back lands on the mat as Farquhar leaves the corner and hits a standing knee drop on Kash’s leg. Farquhar pins Kash as the referee begins to count.

NO!
Did Farquhar think that move would be enough to put Kash away? Kash has an extremely high pain tolerance so it’s going to take much more than that and Farquhar is well aware of this. Farquhar lifts Kash up and knees him in the gut not once, not twice, but three times. Kash tries to fight back but Farquhar sensibly dodges his every move. Putting Kash in a headlock position, Farquhar hits him with a running bulldog! Farquhar picks Kash up once again, hits him with an English uppercut, and quickly takes him down with an English DDT!!
Farquhar, now in full control, gazes upon the fans in disgust. Signaling for his finisher, Kash is slow to rise to his feet but before he can even get a chance to, Julius comes off of the ropes…PAY HOMA…NO!!! Just in the nick of time, Kash grabs Farquhar’s legs while slamming him into the mat in a sitdown powerbomb position!! Awesome reversal by Jason Kash! Farquhar rapidly rises to his feet but Kash pounces…UNDER THE INFLUENCE!!! Kash hits his finishing move on the Tap Out Champion! Kash rolls over for the pin.

Winner: Jason Kash[/center]
Stenfelder: Jaaasssooonnn Kaaasssshhhh!!!
“Out Of My Mind” begins to blast through the PA system once again as the referee raises Kash’s hand in victory.
Nailz: Big big win here tonight in Louisville for Jason Kash! He wasn’t successful against Chris Strike on the last Asylum but tonight was certainly a different story for The Influence.
Beckett: I cannot argue with that Nailz. Like I said earlier, I’m a fan of both megastars so I was okay with either outcome. Congratulations Jason Kash!
Asylum goes to a commercial break as a disappointed Julius Farquhar walks up the ramp, with the Tap Out Title draped across his shoulder, and heads backstage. Jason Kash walks up the ramp after him celebrating and hyping himself up and once he approaches the curtain, he disappears behind it.
