The One/Black
With the One not rping I think this match went really well.
Its was short and good and as for right now UCW are on fire and when it comes to their title match the One and 2 will need to step it up...

Long/Jokester
I was going with Long because I really liked his role play but then again this is Jokerster..never underestimate him.
This was a good match, really enjoyed reading it.

2 and Herrera
Both did a good job and I flip a coin. I couldn't decide so if it was bad then I am sorry lol.

4 on 4
I was kinda upset about this match, I was looking for a week of just rps from everyone..four no shows is bad.
Congratulations goes out to JMC, your rps were great this week..

Main Event:
Well Mike, you put a little challenge
The Judge did a really good job this week with is rps..Next week he gets the whole roster tho lol..this should be fun.

Well that's one review, I need 5 before I do a preview and 9 before I post the next show.

[Gunnar Brian]

Srictly following the Judge deadly sins storyline, have to say I'm feeling a bit down about the gluttony one coming so early. It's great in the fact the difficulty for Judge has been upped and from a fans point of view, Judge has got to lose BUT... if Judge wins then it kind of makes me wonder if any of the other 'sins' could beat Judge instead of the other way around.

[The Judge]

I already posted a mini review on the segments and the main event, so filling in the rest.

The One/Black
Below average match but nothing much more to say about it. Like I've mentioned before, because the RP battle wasn't really a battle, then the match had no real hype. Boring commentary that didn't add humor, insight, or anything at all to the match.

Long/Jokester
Wrote it so can't really review it's quality, but I felt Jokester edged Jesse out here and I know Jesse knew it too, but I tried my best to portray Jesse well and play up his gimmick.

2 and Herrera
Good match that treated both guys fairly. Shame that it seems like it was for nothing now, if Herrera does indeed take off after that all he effectively did was shut down 2's momentum, but that's another topic. Match was a fun read and good length.

4 on 4
Boooooo to all the no shows. C'mon guys, why is it every time more then 4 people are stuck in a match together, a handful don't RP? I'm not even comfortable letting someone carry me, I don't see how anyone else is either. Corral, dude, you need to be more consistent, your record doesn't matter at all if you're being lumped into the jobber category on the card rankings. C'mon guys, this was a real opportunity. Congrats to James for winning this one, and a good match too. James earned the win, Blade earns a pat on the back, and props to Jerimiah and OBG for at least showing up. T-Dog, where'd you go man?

Main Event:
Good match. I reviewed most of it already, but wanted to note that the water bottle poisoning was a good way to go with this. It even supported the whole sloth theme, as Mike tried to find the easy way out. Mike cut a decent RP this week but it set me up to attack too well so by the time I had the 2nd RP written I knew I had the win. Loved the Todd Franklin moments, even the little details such as how he shrugged annoyed before making a three count is just classic. Good job Ken.

Overall:
Good show with great segments I mentioned before. Loved the ending again. Now, can someone tell me if I'm allowed to RP more then 2 times since I'm facing everybody? lol. Seems only fair!

One/Black-My Match. I aimed to reflect Black's RP as being a huge scream at the world full of swear words, so given a chance he did that. The One beign a comedy character now complemented it welll, perhaps better if he RPed so it was what ti was.

Iron Man Match- Despite what everyone says, he's not the first person to sucessfuly defend the title. Trent James did it once. I am happy that despite the loss, Jesse is getting a really goood push. This anti-European push was eventually going to someone and Jesse seemed a more logical choice than others. But he better run with it!

2/Herrerra- I thik I like Herrera the most out of all the UCW guys. Shame to see him go. The biggest positive point baout this is that we do get to see a new tag team come out of the woddowrk within our own ranks. My Money is on Risen/Long.

4 vs. 4-I can't say too much here that hasnt been remarked on. I was really happy to win naturally. And I think I'm going to really show OBG what he needs to do to stay champion. Hope he's up for a fight this week. The match itself reflected the RP timing whihc was the big talking point of the match. I often wonder if people are actually afraid of becoming Champion sometimes!

Main Event- A match that was a pleasureable on to behold for me. I'm not so sure about our ME length compared to WPW but I really don't care. The point of EWE is to be compact and better, and it is. I have to take my hat off to Ryan for really keeping the seven deadly sins up and very refreshed! Proud of you. Mike is back and he and i were talkign over a beer about this match and While I knew he'd be rusty in his RP, I'm glad he's stayign around.

Overall, a very positive show let down by two big setbacks(UCW leaving and The 4.vs 4 becoming a tag match) which now detract from the show. I think we might have to ignore UCW until they actually decide to stay around with us more and not leave becasue of thier own fed. That said, Judge and I are about to go win thier Tag Titles so stay tuned for that. Another question is about Trent James. Was he always planned to be the O'Donnell Replacement if Judge stumbled?

[JLO]

One/Black-
Short match with that got done what it needed to. Even though One no showed, it makes sense to me that Uriel eeks out a quick rather than wins via squashfuck.

Iron Man Title-
While obviously I'm disappointed with the loss, clearly the better man won. Was a great match with lots of character and did nothing but help the both of our gimmicks.

2/Herrera-
Would've like to have a seen little bit more of a match, oh well. Gives the challengers some nice steam heading into their Tag Title match.

4 on 4-
Shame there were so many no shows, but life happens that way. Very nice match. Outside of the main, was the match of the night.

Judge/Adams-
Fantastic match. Great RP battle, even with Mike's ring rust. Unfortunately for Mr. Adams, Judge is just on fire these days.

O'Donnell/Judge-
Very interesting developments here. Really drives home the heat between Judgeums and The Boss. The handling of Gluttony makes perfect sense to me.

Great show overall as always.

The Wolfman's Review:

Uriel Black versus The One

Wow it's nice to see that the UCW guys are still lighting a fire under the ass of the EWE. I liked the match but wish that The One would've roleplayed though. It would've been one hell of a match if he did. I do love how everything is melting together here between the guys from UCW and EWE. Makes me proud to be a member of both feds.

The One vs. Mike Adams ... Eh HA!

The Jokester versus Jesse Long-Dong Silver

Nice match. I felt that it could've went either way. Too bad the crowd wasn't friend to Jesse Long but I did see that coming as he is an American something or other ha! Damn Europeans hate Americans who'da thunk it?! Nonetheless congratulations goes out to Jokester for retaining the 'Cursed' Ironman Championship. Wonder how much longer the 'curse' will allow him to retain it for.

2 versus Eric Herrera

Well looks like UCW's trampling through the EWE was complete here at Awakening 8 with this victory. I knew this would happen as UCW has some great talent. Now its sad that Eric had to withdrawl from this feud to partake in other activities at UCW. But with four total wins for the UCW I see many good things happening once the ball gets going properly.

Four versus Four

Good match considering half of us didn't roleplay but to be honest I did ask for the week off feel bad for my time so I do apologize. I liked the match and I liked the prematch thing between The Judge and Trent James. I am happy what came out of this match considering what happened, or well didn't happen.

The Main Event - Sloth

AWESOME! I love this whole Deadly Sins thing we have going on here in the EWE. I think that these matches have been amazing as hell. I think that the thing at the end with Trent coming out to turn his back on his 'so-called' mentor. Brilliant! And now Gluttony.. The entire roster?! Wow I can't believe where it is going. I honestly can't wait to see how it all ends.

Overall

Loved the show. I thank those who wrote the show this week. I also want to say congrats to all the roleplayers for a great week.

[legendaryken]

Just a point about Jesse Long's character - Europeans don't automatically hate Americans but we do hate the brash, uber-patriotic, arrogant type that Jesse is playing, so.....great character!
