Rather than letting this place fall apart for the week we have to wait, I'm going to try and get some action going. First step is to continue on with Scorch's ever favorite and quite ingenious evaluations. The next rank off the cabs is Jason Bennett! Give him your evaluations and if you can't remember waht we look like then have a looksie here:

Character Analysis:

Roleplaying Analysis:

Personal Suggestions:

Overall Attitude:

Also the reason it's Bennett next is because he's done his reviews for other people. so that's the best way to get one yourself!

No you are not that bad, I need to catch up on the others first though before trying to get into evaluating the tag team specialist that is Jason Bennett.

Character Analysis: I was never overly favorable on the early Jason tech gimmick early on. I never thought money was ever a good driving force behind a heel promo. At least by the thought of that is not what pisses people off at our age. I see a little advancement in his persona and I think he should focus on that. Major problem people have with playing a heel. They try to play the heel. Trust me, if anyone is overly honest... that is a automatically a heel promo usually... well at least in some cases.

Roleplaying Analysis: Very consistent and above average. Neo can get redundant but like PK and Carson, it shows signs that RPing can come allot easier than most. Myself it's rather hard, it takes allot time and I can not just merely speak. It helps when you can just speak you know? You just have to watch that trap of repeating yourself.

Personal Suggestions: Personally, I think your character lacks any real Jason Bennett... it lacks that heart alot of people have come to expect from promos. I think you need expand of Jason more. Heels can fall flat if you play them generically, you last RP for example... you just said you were the best talent then moved on. That doesn't really do the job as a heel, you got to make us believe that you are the best, you must make us hate you because your so cocky.... we must hate you so much, that your promos get fun to read! So I suggest just taking promos slow. Grow and find your perfect RP style and then practice until it becomes niche

Overall Attitude: Positive I suppose, needs to realize you only know your RP is good when you can look at it and be 100 percent happy. Other than that, no problems on this account.

Character: I thinkthe BennettTech thing has kinda run its course a bit, maybe taking it in a bit of a different direction. Beyond the BennettTech thing there isn't too much of a character to speak of, Jason seems like a CEO that takes cares of business by ay and wrestles by night, but that's really quite generic, maybe like a huge stock hit in BennettTech and some problems in the company could bring about some new stuff for you.

RP Analysis: Well above average, despite my pandering as Brock, but as was said before you tend to repeat yourself quite a bit, granted it's a lot harder when you have similar opponents, but it also has to do with the staleness of the gimmick. One thing I always try to do which can also help a lot, is actually reading your dialogue out loud and see how it sounds, but overall still very very good, jsut like APG said gotta avoid repeating yourself

Personal: It's a cliche, but it's true, the ebst characters are usually the person that portrays them with the volume turned way up, I don't really feel that when reading Bennett promos, it just seems like a generic heel with a lot of money and a high pwoered job....no offesne Jase, anyone can do that, you need to do something separate yoursefl from it.

Overall: Always room for imporvement but that can be said with anyone, but still definitely one of the better ones in the fed

Character Analysis: I am not sure how well the rich guy goes with Jason, i know it gives you some creative freedom and the ability to put him anywhere he wants but perhaps it is somethign that has run dry. I guess what i might say here is either overplay his riches like Ted DiBiase and revolve around business or money like JBL or underplay it and focus on another part

Roleplaying Analysis: Still great, often playing more as a scene than as a speech, which can have its benefits when done right and it has been done right!

Personal Suggestions: Bennettech has run it's course seems to be a consensus. I remeber when the early days were around and you did somethign with making star trek phazers? Still maybe that's jsut me being senile. I'm not sure if it has becasue where does it leave bennett? Just a wrestler? It's possible. Probably likely.

Overall Attitude: Good rper, great writer. I think Bennett could be on his own if you ever treid but for now ride the wave, learn the ins and outs and you'll be Florida or higher soon enough.

Character Analysis: Again Im kind of part of that school of thought that wonders if the rich man thing is working anymore. If Bennett has money then he shouldn't he be throwing it around rather then just hopping around Bennettech. Yeah the arrogance and brashness comes through but I think the business tycoon deal just doesn't work anymore. I'd go with Prom on this one. It could help for Bennett to start doing elaborate things with his money backstage, buy things that aren't for sale etc. The Bennett character is established you just need to go somewhere else with it now.

RPing: At time I feel you can get overdrawn. You paint a beautiful picture but sometimes the reader loses interest come show time. I know you have cut down on the length lately and as such you are trying to find you feet with this new style of RPing. Your a solid RPer, I think you are a natural RPer. Your probably like me in that you just sit down and knock out what comes to mind which, as Ryan said, can lead to repeditiveness. All in all though you are good and solid.

Suggestions: If Im right and you back at what comes to mind then I suggest you start planning out your RPs. Im the same, I don't really plan them just sitdown with a very general idea and start writing. It can lead to stuff getting repeditive but that kind of irons itself out if you put more planning into your RPs. Outside of that I cannot think of much more to say.

Overall: I cannot overstates your contribution to WPW. You are a great writer, your matches are a pleasure to read and you are about as solid an RPer as we have around the place. You and trouble seem to be polar opposite as your conduct is faultless. This place could do with a few more people like you to be honest, ye are the backbone of any good e-fed.
