The show opens up insides the Live! makeshift Locker room where Martin Cameron sits alone. The camera zooms into his hands which are shaking, he looks down, and then grips trying to stop the shaking. It doesn’t work and he shakes his head in disappointment


Martin: … Dammit….



WPW Sunday Night Live.
An APG Production

Live From The Hard Rock Cafe!!!!


The arena lights come up and the dozen in attendance cheer, A waitress with a Long Island ice tea walk past the camera, and then it abruptly shifts to a outer look of the ring, as you can notice they are still working out the kinks of a live show of this size. The camera then goes down to the commentators.


Scott: Hello out their my fellow Canucks and welcome to a very special edition of WPW Sunday night Live! Being broadcast only in the great white north. You see due to the lack of Hockey, many stations need fillers for the Sunday and tonight, the network has made a deal with WPW to air tonight! If you don’t know me already from the local curling tournament, I am your play by play man Scott Bundy, along with my partner, and chief analyst Ted Peterson. Good Evening Ted!

Ted: Right back at cha Scott, tonight we have a stacked card for you tonight at the Hard Rock Casino. Five matches guaranteed to make your blood simmer with excitement! But first we have a former Florida State Champion fighting a former Hardcore Champion in a round robin tournament match to achieve a Florida State Championship match.

Scott: You care to tell us how this tournaments works?

Ted: Fair enough. Let’s get to the action


Mykal Adams vs. Forsaken

The camera pans to the ring and suddenly ‘Just close your eyes’ plays from the tiny PA system and Mykal Adams walks out to a few claps, and whistles from the ladies.

Afterwards “Last Man Standing” by Hammerfall hit’s the speakers (Or boom box) and out comes the former Hardcore champion Forsaken.

The match begins with your basic punch, punch, irish whip reverse banter until Forsaken takes a brief lead with some stunning martial art like moves. This however didn’t last long when Mykal Adams showed he was far more ready then the young Forsaken and hit a T-Bone Suplex while Forsaken was doing one of those Japanese kicks. After that moment, you could say it was a bunch of foreplay by Mykal Adams while he hit a handful of different suplex’s until he ended the match with his climatic, Love Stun Gun. After the match while celebrating victory, Mykal saw a buxom woman holding one of his books… he gladly took a pen and the book from her and signed “Mykal Adams 555-0987”

Winner: Mykal Adams via Pinfall in 4 minutes and 1 second.


Scott: That Mykal Adams is certainly a fan favorite, especially with the Ladies. So tell us Ted, what gave Adams the edge here.

Ted: Forsaken just wasn’t prepared, and was over matched my Adams. Add to that, Mykal might have been right when he said Forsaken’s flaw was that he didn’t has his partner in The Fallen, Ryuu. He just didn’t seem like the competitor we all know and love.

Scott: Mykal Adams earns another victory in the tournament, and a step closer to title match with the Champion Martin Cameron. While Forsaken takes a step back. Well next up folks we have the former God of Live Blade against the former… uh… I mean, Gunnar Brian in yet another contest in the Florida state Tournament! But first…


The camera focuses backstage where Chris Cage and Jeremiah Ranks stand leaning against the wall talking. The camera looks closer to see what they are saying.


Chris Cage: Why are we here again? We don’t even have a match.

Ranks: Carlos is probably punishing us for last week, and the loss of his poor spokesman JMC. It doesn’t matter anyways, after you take out The One, I’ll beat Scorch and walk out of the building one step closer to the WPW title.


Chris Cage chuckles to himself for a moment, and Ranks looks at him confused.


Ranks: What’s so funny?

Chris Cage: Well I can almost Guarantee you will “beat” Scorch next week my friend, I think that isn’t a stretch. But you walking out of the building under your own power might be another story… haha.


Chris cage laughs again and Ranks merely rolls his eyes as the camera fades out and comes back on the ring.


Gunnar Brian vs. Blade Lavigne

‘The Other side” by Aerosmith hit’s the speakers and out comes Gunnar Brian to absolutely zero reaction besides one guy looking at a signed cheap trick guitar at one of the displays. Gunnar Brian enters the ring.

Then “Bleed for Me” by Saliva hit’s the speakers and out comes Blade, and he looks very focused.

The match surprisingly began with some good offense by Blade Lavigne when he ran in the ring and delivered a spear right off the bat. After that it was more of the same as Blade dominated through and through will powerful suplex’s and even a running big boot. Gunnar was so shocked by the beating that he barely had times to think about it as Blade hit the Sit Down Powerbomb for the victory. After the match, Blade Lavigne went to the Kid Rock display, because as you know… he is also from Michigan… and it’s a hard rock casino… get it?

Winner: Blade Lavigne via Pinfall in 6 minutes and 11 seconds.


Scott: Blade picks up the surprising win here, and he also gets to see some fine memorabilia.

Ted: Don’t be too surprised by the victory Scott. Blade might not always be considered the most articulate wrestler, but he always shows up and prepares for matches, something you can’t say about Gunnar Brian, and that may have cost him the match tonight… and lead Blade in the right direction for the Florida State Championship.

Scott: Well said. It looks like we have a camera backstage.


Actually the camera is outside in the parking lot as The One and Dan Murph stand outside shooting the breeze.


The One: … It’s hard, but I think I am finally figuring it out. Still doesn’t mean a professional wrestler like to change diapers.

Murph: Makes sense, at least you don’t have to face The Karvers and tag with the man who you want take a title from on Tuesday. I swear, everyone is a enemy now.

The One: Nichols and those Karver women don’t actually like me that much either. When are you cashing in that contract?


Dan looks at him and gives a devilish grin


Murph: Soon…

The One: It’s been done…



Spaz vs. Nick Comoroto


“Given up” by Linkin Park hit’s the speakers and out comes Spaz who gets booed by a kid eating his chicken fingers at a table across the room. Spaz then of course, enters the ring.

“Riot” by Three Days Grace hit’s the speakers and the fans slightly cheer the Canadian band, until Comoroto comes out screaming about some riot… sooner or later he enters the ring.

The match starts with Nick finding a way to get Spaz to the mat and trying to use MMA moves against him, Spaz being the savvy veteran fights out of them many times and begins to deliver stiff “Wrasslin” punches and this stuns the younger Comoroto. In his frustration Nick reverts back to his old ways of amateur wresting. Spaz takes advantage of this and delivers a class Arn Anderson spine buster to Comoroto. He goes for the pin at the 5 minute mark but Nick fights out. Nick comes back and does a take down on spaz and starts delivering thunderous elbows to Spaz’s head. However the vet gets Nick again as he throws his head back and knocks out Como out by the contact… Spaz applies the Ascension to the fallen Comoroto and the ref is forced to end the match. After the match, The MetalHeadz, who were signing the autographs (Canadians love them) came in and helped Como out of the ring.

Winner: Spaz via Knockout in 10 minutes and 24 seconds.


Scott: The veteran Spaz picks up a victory here over Nick Comoroto in a very evenly fought battle. Why is that Ted?

Ted: Well Spaz was just a little more dynamic this week, and that will get you victories sometimes in such close matches. Just like when he did the claymation this week in his promos… Spaz showed he can do more than talk big and showed another side of himself, and that lead to a victory… inside and outside of the ring.


The camera then suddenly switches to another part of a makeshift area where Sky Ryder sits alone on a steel chair, deep in concentration looking down at a picture.


Sky Ryder: For Letty…


The camera returns to ring side area to get read for our next match


T.K vs. Jason Silver

The Heel extravaganza continues as “On the brink” hit’s the PA aka Boombox and out comes T.K who slowly walks to ring because he sees local celebrity “The Kid’ eating curly fries in the background.

Then, not surprisingly the other guys music hits! Jason Silver comes out to “Palm Tress” by Kill The Complex.

The match begins with some back and forth work by each man, the number of reversals was lost around the 3 minute mark as finally TK took the advantage as he hit a flying cross body, which was the best Cross body in Canada but sadly not even top 12 in the world. The technical expert began to show off his moves, some in which were cool, some in which sucked… and after he applied about 3 out of his 1002 moves, Jason Silver then took the offensive when he hit a tilt a whirl backbreaker. After this Silver went at TK with pride and heart, but TK matches him effort for effort. At about the 12 minute mark the match abruptly ended as Jason Silver hits “Psychotic Episode” a bulldog which is overly complex and up it’s own ass for the win!

Winner: Jason Silver via Pretentious Bulldog in 12 minutes and 54 seconds.


Scott: Jason Silver wins this one in a hard fought victory, what say you Ted?

Ted: You are right, it was closer than usual… I have to say that Jason just really showed off how talented he is this week inside that ring, and during his promo. It’s not that TK wasn’t good enough, he just wasn’t better than Silver, plain and simple.


The camera switches backstage yet again to show Martin Cameron still sitting in his make shift locker room, watching his hands shake. A backstage producer enters the room, and tells Cameron he is up next.


Martin: I’m ready.


The camera zooms in on his hand and it suddenly stops to shake as he becomes focused for the match at hand.






Martin Cameron vs. Sky Ryder

On The Outside by Kill The Complex hit’s the speakers and out comes the Canadian Champion to the loudest ovation of the night. Maybe because Canada was mention, or maybe because they knew the show was almost over. He enters the ring by the way…

Next up Broken Boy Solider by The Raconteurs hit’s the PA the speaker and out comes the Florida State Champion and Tag Team Champion Martin Cameron.

The bell rings and as soon as they are about to lock up out comes Sal Karver and Mike Karver with a steel chairs, the ref immediately calls for the bell and the Karvers go straight for Martin Cameron, and he is hit with a steal chair to the back.

Then from the back out comes Dan Murph and The One having a dead aim on The Karvers. Both men in unison tackle The Karvers and start to throw blows at them.

Not to be out done The Innovators of Wrestling, Jeremiah Ranks and Chris Cage enter the ring, and throw The One and Murph off the Karvers. Then, Sky Ryder sees the good guys are down a man and decides to get into the action and hits Chris Cage with a right to the head. Martin Cameron is now up and grabs Jeremiah Ranks by the head and throws him out out of the ring. The One looks at Sal who is next to the ring apron, and kicks him out of the ring to. Dan Murph then goes rushing for Michael Karver.. But he slips out of the ring also. Ranks, Cage, Sal, Michael stand up with pist off faces and looks back at One, Cam, Sky, and Dan standing in the ring tall… they heels slowly walk to the back… as the faces invite the 12 fans there to join them in the ring.


No Contest.


Scott: Well our main event ended even before it started folks, but it’s nice to see all of these talented men in the ring tonight, not to mention that Tuesday should be one Heck of a show!

Ted: You’ve got that right, all of these men were ready to fight this week, and you better believe come TNT, there will be even more fireworks.

Scott: Well folks that’s all the time we have tonight… I like to thank you for joining us on this special broadcast, now we will join the local Canadian news team, as they talk about the zero crime happening! Good night Folks!

I apologize if the show is up earlier than your use to. I don't know if I'll be on tomorrow so I posted it pretty early, but still after plenty of time. If this caused a problem, I apologize.

Wow, that was pretty damn awesome - lol.

I seriously think that was the best Live I have ever read. Nice one Ryan.

Sky Ryder
07-13-2008, 09:21 AM
well... now my rp i was about to post means nothing... so... there went part of my storyline... otherwise... good show... i guess.

APostingGod
07-13-2008, 09:38 AM
Again I apologize for the earliness. I'm pretty sure your promo can be turned into a segment for TNT if you want. Other than that, my bad. It's on the right date... so I suppose early bird catches the worm.

Gunnar Brian
07-13-2008, 11:34 AM
Thats kind of a slap in the face. Now I know its totally valid being Sunday and such and I should have rp'ed earlier, if I had the chance I would have done and indeed an rp was in the works of being 85% written. However at the same time the concept of Sunday NIGHT Live was that it went up Sunday night (see where this is going)

Obviously APG made a decision and naturally it can't be wrong for the above reason of Live going up on a Sunday, and thats fair enough, I'm just pissy because looking at it, I could have very well won (could have lost aswell) but well yeah, kinda pissed off cause it went up Sunday morning

I am kinda annoyed and at the same time groggy so I know if I say anything much more I will sound a lot more of an asshole than I am or have right to be in this situation, but I believe what Gunnar says covers what I feel quite nicely. I knew I shoulda stayed up later last night and posted a promo, but I was sure I could get up early to rp before the deadline...

APostingGod
07-13-2008, 04:21 PM
Excuse me what deadline?

You know, I posted the show on the correct date... even waited a few hours after the natural deadline for TNT (2 am the day of the show over here) and you guys are pist because you didn't get a RP in a few hours before the show "should" be posted?

Now excuse me for asking, how is your shedule more important than mine? I did my show on the correct date, and it was you people who procrastinated, and ASSUMED you could waiti until the last minute.

So yeah it took good me a good long while to write this show, and you can complain about you three being lazy when I start getting paid to do this... until then, please... blow me.

Thank you,

APG.

God, fucking whiners.


You people wonder why shows are late, because instead of actually reading things here... you only worry about your stupid characters and how they are getting screwed this week. Truthfully, I was very excited about writing a show in my old
Damnation" style this week, but after listening to this... it's pathetic... Sorry, if I don't stay home all fucking day so Gunnar Brian and Forsaken can half ass promos at the last minute and barely win a LIVE match.

THE RULE IS YOU GET A RP IN ANY TIME BEFORE THE SHOW GETS UP, YOU DIDN'T...

You know, we don't get paid... so you should appreciate anything coming from us, especially with your peoples attitude.

I'm done.

APostingGod
07-13-2008, 04:41 PM
Also, I don't mind criticism, if my work is not up to par... than say so. But if you have something to say about you "not having time" should be more important than myself "not having time" you should really reconsider being a man. This whole fed is built on last minute procrastination, and this week I really want to give you guys a good Live show... and I even stayed up when I was dead tired.... just so I could get to you.

I appretiate your bitterness about losing, I do... but you spit in the face of the rest of my show but your little tirades about how you have excuses, and somehow my time constaints aren't valid. I really didn't want to get pist, but I worked hard on this show and I get three state angry little message from people who could have done better than just the minimum like you did... and came back to haunt you.

Gunnar Brian
07-13-2008, 05:02 PM
Fun... APG I read your reply and for once (shock horror) I am not backing down. Naturally we can argue this back and forth all fucking week about schedules and the above but I fail to understand the above post by you.

Working of the TNT deadline? waiting a few hours after... then your stil 24 hours early. TNT goes up Tuesday night/Wednesday morning (UK time) logic dictates Live would be Sunday night/Monday morning. Oh and I LOVE the schedule comment... I love that you believe you have a right to be comsidered the most important man on the planet... newsflash... your not. I personally did not wait, I personally never wait for the last min, I try and get mines up as soon as, and if you want I could post exactly what I had up until that point you decided to post Live early. The fact is, I simply did not have a chance in the 48 hours to sit down for 4 hours and write a continuous rp.
Next, I'm simply not goning to reply to the money comment.

Finally, because I know how APG likes to feel big. I'm sorry... yeah I'm fucking sorry I couldn't toss off my brothers leaving do to rp for you. I'm sorry I couldn't tell my friends to piss off I have to please APG by writing a promo. I'm sorry I don't fuck up my sleep patternts to rp, etc, etc.

APG just...whatever..

If I calm down and decide to review, then I will but don't blame me if I don't because I don't like writing biased reviews

JasonSilverTX
07-13-2008, 05:33 PM
All Ihave to say is I did enjoy Live, but honestly it isn't fair to some people who don't have constant internet access to cut their deadline off just because you were too lazy tosend the results to someone else to post.

Honestly the deadline is set up for a reason...to give the wrestlers a deadline to stop rping, not to say 'hey this timestamp is for when I am going to post the show couple hours early. You could have easily just sent the results to promy or Ape and said 'hey I might not be online on time'.

Im not upset that Iwon, but I do feel some what cheated in the fact that TK did have a few more hours to respond but then had no chance to since the results were posted before the deadline.

I am in agreement with Sky Ryder and Gunnar on this, the simple fact is that Live has a deadline for people to no longer RP, and that was cut off and basicly made all the results an unfair win to whoever got the V's, like me for example. But like Isaid, regardless of my feelings and thoughts, I did enjoy the show, I just don't think it was the fair or right thing to do.

Snowman
07-13-2008, 05:49 PM
I have yet to read the show sadly, because I need to sort some stuff out first. But I hope to start reading it with in the next half hour or so.

Live being up early honestly wouldn't have made a difference to me because my computer crashed and still isn't working yet (if Prom happens to read this; don't worry, I remembered my brother's PS3 has a web function and he has a keyboard for it so I can write my match on that) but I just wanna pick up on something APG said.

Believe it or not, there is an actual set deadline for Live, Ryan. AFS had to stick to that deadline, despite him not being too fond of it. But this week, yo did post the show before that deadline was reached. The person posting Live does not make up the deadline, this week you did. But I completely understand your reasons for this and do not wish to enter an argument about it. I simply wished to put something straight.

ALSO; First post from my brother's PS3..Yay

TK15GOD
07-13-2008, 05:52 PM
no its no problem, i actually enjoyed the fact that the show was up this early. Im probably the only one, but yeah, nice live, and i felt like i actually had a chance this time. this live actually made me feel like a real competitor. thanks.

AFalseSinn
07-13-2008, 06:13 PM
Ok. Yes there is a deadline for Live. I created a deadline which was origionally midnight (which would have made ryans Live fine) But then due to people not being able to handle the time, it was moved to noon on Sunday...so in that aspect Ryan you are incorrect.


HOWEVER, and I say this knowing some of you might have had actual life problems.

RP BEFORE SUNDAY! Thats really all there is to it. If you have life issues, then you dont get an rp in. Sometimes that happens guys, you dont always win. BUt you should all jus ttry real hard to get something in before Sunday....it just seems like a good idea.

bah. This could be why I dont do this anymore.


Edit: Also. Probably one of the best I have ever seen written as well. Ryan killed the crap out of it, so you guys should definatly calm down no matter how it ended up....otherwise he wont ever do it again.

07-13-2008, 10:12 PM
Well I didn't know about a deadline, last time I was around the staff room it was Midnight. Again, I apologized for the inconvenience. I wrote the show on the schedule I believe fit, and work damn hard on it. I don't appretiate people like Gunnar acting like a little Bitch after I apologized twice before, once right when I posted it... and one after Sky said something. That little cunt drove me to getting pist about it, so yeah... for those who don't have sand in their vagina, and need a reason to bitch... after I apologized twice, then enjoy the show. Otherwise, take it for what it is I suppose.

APostingGod
07-13-2008, 10:21 PM
Also about Gunnar's little pissing contest. I really don't give a shit personally if you wouldnt kick your brother off the computer. As you shouldn't care that I had to take my Girlfriend out to her mothers, hence the early show. Now, as I was writing the show... my problems have more leverage over yours, leaving yours null and void in my eyes. Now, I understand that you didn't have time, and yes... that is my fault. Again, in which I apologized for twice. But you had to get pissy because "APG is being a Meany" Like I said, I do not get paid for this, and I do it out the shear fun of it... so you can take your little problems, and shove them to be honest. I honestly am not trying to get in verbal battles with people nowadays but you provoked it after I already apologized. So enjoy your slap in the face, and keep it to yourself.

The hardwork that went into this edition of Live does show up in the write up of it. It is nice to see different people put their own personal touches on the show, which Ryan certainly has done here. The small commentary exchanges are not necessarily something we should expect from all Live writers in the future, but they did add something to the overall reading experience. This did come off as more of a hybrid between tradition Lives and TNTs, which I think was the point. The small segments, again a nice touch. They do seem a bit more like personal commentaries out of the writer than things I expect to be said by the characters, but they were fun to read.

As far as the deadline business goes, I have always been of the thought that Live belongs to that week's writer. If Jede wants to have a certain deadline, let him, if Cameron wants to use another, let him. I can tell you guys that when I have done Live my deadline has and always will be, get it in and read by me before I hit the button to post the thread containing the show results. Ryan put a show up after a deadline that applied to everyone.

Actually the freaking out here is why I was never a fan of the Live deadlines, and why I was against Jede being given Live as his own personal show for such a long time. It just creates too much potentional for confusion like we had this week when a well thoughtout and put together show gets overlooked because a few guys lost matches with very little meaning to them.

Again, a fun show to read, and the effort is appreciated.

Gunnar Brian
07-13-2008, 10:50 PM
For whats its worth this is the last post I am making on the subject, but APG, I suggest you actually READ my posts, then you might realise I did not have the luxury of kicking my brother off the computer as I was busy helping out with his LEAVING do. Next, re read my first post... I said you wasn't wrong in what you did, but I was a little pissed off or would've rather I sugar coated and said 'hey great job' Seriously next time you want to fly off the hadle, read what I post. Ok thanks and so long to this thread

Question... for an early show... because you weren't going to be (or not sure you were going to be) on later tonight... why is it you have posts at like 5 PM and 6 PM.... the usual time that Live gets put up anyways?

This is a fucking shame. An absolutely great Live show has been overshadowed by the fact that it was posted a few hours early and when people look back on it, they won't remember the great show, they'll remember the fact that people got pissed cos it ws up a few hours early.

It was a great show, Ryan ASKED to do Live this week, and i'm glad he did as he did a fantastic job. I'll admit that losses will be ahrd to take, especially in a tournament match, but if you have what it takes then one loss won't make that much difference in the grand scheme of things as most people have lost a match in the tournament now.

Now, i don't want to pick on one certain thing, but the fact that Gunnar couldn't RP kinda makes me happy cos Blade got rewarded for the fact he always RPs, and does so early. Sucks for Gunnar cos real life got in the way, but we all need to accept that these things happen.

Chazz
07-14-2008, 01:06 PM
Ryan asked....ASKED...to do Live. In fact, over the past few weeks, whenever someone has not been able to do a match, Ryan has stepped in when he could do so. He reads rp's(other than his own) cause he makes comments on how well people are improving or he offers any advice he can to help. His gives input and ideas, trying to help WPW.

I find it amazing that people are pissed at him because he posted the show early. Had Ryan been late posting the show, all you guys would have been hanging around here, or on AIM or something, bitching about it. The fact is, some guys didn't rp and when the show got posted early, you guys reasoned that Ryan was in the wrong and that because of his actions it prevented you from getting in a last second rp. Do not go and blame the guy because some of you guys' personal lives prohibited an rp from getting done, or you were just too damn lazy to do one, and when you "suddenly" got the urge to rp, the show was up. Thus sending some of you into full out bitch mode. I see no fault with what he did. I don't say this cause the show was amazing. I say this cause Ryan asked for Live, and then he got the job done.

Hmm...after all this I feel the need to point out that if you read my post, I wasn't pissed at APG. I was pissed at my schedule for not leaving me time to rp before Saturday night and I was disappointed in myself that I didn't even try to stay awake and write a promo Saturday night, but I wasn't blaming Ryan. I dunno if anyone exactly thought I was, but after all this I feel I should clarify just in case.

I doubt I'll get around to reviewing (I couldn't even get around to rping) but I'll at least read through the show considering how many people have said how well done it is.

-Opening Segment-
Normally I don't like short one liners or really short show promos, but the Martin Cameron opening segment actually caught pleased me. It was short, but the point was made clear which is sometimes hard to do with one liners. But this worked.


-Opening-
Aside from the opening statement having the typo of 'their' instead of 'there', I liked the opening commentary. I for one had no idea that LIVE even had announcers let alone that they had names. So it was nice to see the change.

It seemed to me like there was an awkward transition from the commentary to the match as Scott asked if Ted would give an explination of how the tournament works, and Ted responded with 'Fair Enough. Lets get to the action'.

Other than that the opening commentary was nice.



-First Match. Mykal vs. Forsaken-

Nice to see that even the matches had more effort put into them with the superstars getting entrances as well as a match and not just genericly having the results thrown up. It helped make this seem more like a show and not just a recap of a show. The results of the match were nice, they actually flowed and didn't seem like the writer was just trying to show each guy got a couple of moves in then a finish.



-After match Commentary and Segment.-

Once again, enjoyed having commentary on Live,and it transitioned into the segment afterwards and that helped as well. Having segments on Live that don't just seem randomly placed help alot.
The Ranks and Cage story helped further things along.



-Gunnar vs. Blade-
All I have to say about this is Blade should enjoy the luck he had here in winning. He has been getting better and listening more when people try and help him, so maybe the results going up early were not such a bad thing as he did deserve a win and this is about as good as it could have gotten for him. Gunnar is a great rper and I only wish he'd gotten to rp early enough to make Blade work harder for the win. Congrats to BLADE. As for the match itself, the moves themselves were good, I just thought it would be nice to have Gunnar get some offense regardless of not having rped. The aftermath seemed pointless but did have a point if that makes any sense. Over all that match was good just..one sided to me.


-Aftermath-
The commentary was once again appreciated as was the segment added. It helped further things along and as I said, didn't make the show seem like a short recap.



-Spaz vs. Nick-

Nice back and forth, or the attempt at back and fort, not that it was ill written. Only problems I saw were a few capitalizations. Otherwise the match was good, the ending seemed off but was a good ending.



-Ryder Segment-
Once again not a fan of one liners, but with all thats been happening with the storyline, anyone who has payed attention to it got the messege. It was short, to the point, and helped further the show to the next point.



-T.K. vs Jason Silver-
Well I actually enjoyed Rping for this match alot more than I thought I would. T.K. stepped it up and although his Rp's were short and so in return I wrote short rp's as well, he actually showed me he was making an effort. If nothing else I was hoping he would win simply because of how hard he was trying. The match was well written, nice back and forth and gave T.K. a good look for his effort. Not too fond of the finishing remarks but not complaining eitehr as everyone has their own opinions. Either way, T.K. gave me a run and in the end I came out ontop. I liked the commentary afterwards and finally one of the one liners just didn't click to me. Martins spot just seemed, I geuss ill placed. I just didn't click with it, though it did have a good point, I just didn't seem to care for it.



-Martin vs. Ryder-
The match was nice to see end in a no contest so neither champion lost face to the other. I thought it ended well, and the addition of the other superstars was good as well as it left a classic face over heels spot. The No Contest was the best choice in my opinion.



Overall I liked the show, it was well written and had great matches and flowed more like a regular show than Live has in the past. It was nice to see that for a change. Id rate the show a 4 out of 5 or at least an 8 out of 10. Just small things that got to me but was still the best Live I have seen at least.
