Sunday Night Raab-A-Mania Feedback & Discussion 7/28

[biggs]

So for some reason, it's not letting me create a thread in the Feedback forum, so I'll follow Jeff's lead of creating it here.

Thanks to Jules, TMarv, Envi, and me so far for writing matches. Still waiting on two matches from Joseph, but considering that I've got things to do, if he doesn't have them into me by tomorrow, unfortunately, it looks like we'll just have to go with X def Y results for those matches.

In terms of segs, thanks to Kash, Reaver, Raab, AJP, Guv'nor, Mannie, Shadow, TMarv, Blood, Keaton, and Bailey for segs. If I missed anyone, please feel free to pipe up below!

Also, a heads up, if you have a feud for Shockwave already, (And you know who you are), if you're not on the list below, please drop me a PM with your feuding buddy. Being in Maui for a week has thrown me off, and it would help to book the Asylum Mega Show following Shockwave.

Matches for Shockwave so far:

APW Undisputed Championship Match
Terry Marvin (C) vs. AJP

APW Tap Out Championship Match
Logan Alexander (C) vs. The Emerald Assassin

Keaton Saint vs. Anthony Bailey

Reaver vs. Raab

Young Mannie vs. Guv'nor (Tentative)

[Jason Cashe]

Biggs, I don't have a feud for Shockwave so I can work the Mega Show if there is one. Feels weird not having something for a PPV, one of the first times I remember not having something.

As far as feedback goes, I will read the show in full. I checked my match and read it and it was a nail biter read. I knew the ending due to rps because TMarv and Raab really came with it and I knew mine was off due to my Mother issues this last week an a half. Still awesome match, I really enjoyed it and I loved being the pawn at the end. I almost cheered when I got to be the one who took the Whiplash, I thank TMarv and Envi for making that possible! My autograph collection in APW is starting to really take off!

It's like having signed rookie cards for any sport and being excited to know you have them. I've taken all their finishers! Love that shit!

[Anthony Bailey]

Biggs, I helped Saint and AJP with the segments.

Kash, I'm gonna sue you for taking my finisher. This madness cannot continue.

[Jason Cashe]

I didn't "take" it like use it..I got "autographed" by it when you hit Kash with it. He takes pride in the autographs he has had throughout his career. I do as well. I just need "Paragon Backbreaker" (Which I most likely will never get now) "Darkness Shine" and/or "Level Advance" and then a "Spaced Out" to complete my fanboy goals. Do Me Next! That sounds off a bit, still funny..

[Anthony Bailey]

HA! Gotcha, my bad. Slow moment.

I think Jeff locked the feedback forum because it wasn't being used, basically. It's in a thread somewhere...

Here it is:

[Lord Raab]

I'm very surprised to say the least that me and Terry Marvin won the match cos my RP wasn't that good at all but it's awesome nevertheless. I love the fact on how hated my character is right now which is just great. The whole show was fucking awesome and I enjoyed reading every word of it.

[biggs]

AJP vs The Dying Breed has been added to the show.

[Jules]

- McDonald v Smooth. I read this and it felt like a big set-up for McDonald, like this could be the start of a push for him. I read the finish and thought it buried Smooth, but then I checked and saw he no-showed so yeah, whatever. The post-match was a further sell for Evan too.

-Something is definitely in the air with the Sindicate, and I’m not sure I want to breathe it in. I’m just plain old intrigued about AJP v Marv, and I’m trying not to second guess too much. Terry has done so many swerves you just have to sit back and watch it unfold, but it will be nothing short of interesting.

-AJP/Unforgiven/Logan. A break-up is being teased here, and with AJP a fully fledged heel now in my eyes, and Logan always generally leaning towards face it probably makes sense now. But something in the back of my mind keeps shouting swerve. The match was good because it benefited everybody. Even in defeat Logan looks strong, and I’m not sure whether this was storylined or what, but I’m glad The Unforgiven won because it just builds their credibility as bad ass enforcers. After losing out on the tag titles they needed something to keep their momentum going. It’s a good team, a good gimmick, so I like them being pushed.

-Reaver is becoming a genuine all-round: wrestling bad ass, thumb wrestling champion, now an arm wrestling god. I hope to see Raab come up with something in response.

-A good piece from Shadow, not sure if that was co-ordinated or not. The challenge feels early with Raab involved with Reaver, but I think this would be a good angle to play out building towards a later confrontation. It’s good initiative though.

-I don’t even know what haircut Tyler has, and it was such a playground jibe, but Jair’s burn on Tyler made me lol. Quality! Then Tyler being the awkward white guy- made me chuckle. Tyler Harrison- he’s my favourite new character and he’s a NPC.

Another good match and again the outcome is smart booking. AJP is #1 contender so you don’t really want her losing momentum, but The Breed are the tag champs so losing a handicap match would hurt them. AJP winning by DQ through shenanigans is solid.

-So does AJP’s alleged attack on Shadow mean he’s out of action now? Is this the end of his challenge to Raab? Curious.

-Confession: when I first heard the rumour that Saint’s last match would be Bailey I wasn’t sold on the idea. Two uber-faces- unless there is something on the line I’m not usually interested in way over face v way over face, and it’s not being sold as one of those once in a lifetime gigs (although it actually is). But this segment had enough of a rationale to sell the story to me. It was understated, but it said plenty. Good job.

-High calibre main event. Good to see Raab look strong against Reaver and that sets up their Shockwave confrontation nicely- neither man getting the edge over the other was important.

And well AJP just went and fucked it. Was it deliberate? Was it an accident? Will Terry Marvin give a dime? I’m wearing a radioactive suit next time because the fallout will catch up with everyone.

[Evan De Parker]

KJE v Krown should be done in a few moments. I dozed off which I thought was impossible... I also didn't expect Biggs to be back on this morning! Heh.

[Lord Raab]

OK the whole Stefan/Shadow rivalry is indeed setting things up for after Shockwave PPV.

Yeah I thought to do something different this week since I couldn't start of the show. Plus I wanted Reaver to get revenge on Stefan because it fits along with building the Raab/Reaver match for Shockwave and I really took on board about the past/present tense of my segments too so hopefully it did those things and there wasn't any past tense in the segment too.

[Evan De Parker]

Match added to house show board. I reckon Biggs will add it to the show when he's off work.

[Anthony Bailey]

Envi, you are the man! You are more clutch than Jordan on his best day. Thank you for coming through on those last two matches.

[President Jeff]

thanks for coming through Evan

[biggs]

KJE vs. Krown added!

[Anthony Bailey]

Glad to see Evan McDonald pick up the win. He’s put in lots of work around here and has been consistent for his entire APW duration. With not wanting to give too much away, WDW is in a space right now to where he doesn’t know what his future in e-fedding holds. He’ll still be used in Dying Breed RP’s but I dunno when he’s going to compete again. Blow up his PM’s and tell him how much you all love him and how much you want him to stick around.

The more I try to put my finger on what TMarv/AJP/The New Sindicate have up their sleeves, the more clueless I become. I don’t know where this storyline will end up taking us because these two individuals are so unpredictable. TMarv is conniving and AJP is his counterpart so it will be interesting to see what awaits us at Shockwave and afterwards as well. I’m excited!

Tyler Harrison is hilarious and he is the perfect mouthpiece for AJP. I like him.

KJE and a program with Sang Réal has the potential to be something good. This would be the perfect time for an up and coming face, possibly coming to Asylum/Raab-A-Mania from Meltdown, to hit up KJE about forming a short term tag team to take on Sang Réal hint hint. This could get somebody new over in no time. KJE and Sang Réal don’t have to go for this but even someone taking the initiative to contact them about a potential tag team feud could spark enough interest to make them want to give it a shot. Who knows? Never hurts to ask.

M&M splitting up? I never saw this one coming, especially after feuding with them only so many months ago. The only way the tag team could still work is if Logan turns heel and I don’t see that happening at this present moment. M&M is by far one of my favorite tag teams ever. Their chemistry is unrivaled!

This Mannie/Guv’Nor feud is what Mannie needs to get back into the swing of things. Reason being is because only a few short months ago, Mannie had one of the biggest buzzes in all of APW. His RP’ing had improved by leaps and bounds, he was coming up with great storylines, etc. He was on fire but somewhere along the way he hit a slump. Maybe real life caught up to him and he couldn’t dedicate as much time to the game as he had in the past but Mannie definitely had all eyes on him a few months ago. Use this feud with Guv to your advantage Mannie and make us remember why you were living up to your name and becoming a Main Attraction here in APW.

Reaver/Raab can be great if it’s done right. I want two of the most underrated megastars in APW to pull off something epic that’ll have both brands stirring.

Strong showing from Jackson Ford in his debut. It’s never a bad thing to lose to a legend your first night here. I lost to Johnny Rebel my first night here and that actually helped my career because it proved to everyone that I could go toe to toe with the big names. Keep it up!

I’ll explain the Shockwave match with Keaton Saint though there’s not much to it. I just wanted the opportunity to work with him before he retired, that’s all. I know Face vs. Face can be hard to pull off but we just want to have fun and have a legend like Keaton go out on a high note with his last match. I’m excited! This is my second Shockwave fighting a Pillar btw (Last year I fought Sally for the World Title). Maybe TJ and Chris Strike will come back and I can keep the tradition going next year as well??

[Lord Raab]

I honestly didn't think that Stefan's underrated but I take that as a complement Anthony.

[Jason Cashe]

Yeah bro, you've made leaps and bounds since the New Year started. I've been noticing you back when you were tagging with Yarmouth and I loved the pairing because you both were growing at the time and you've skipped like a flat rock over water man, very cool to see your rise.
