RESULTS DISCUSSION!

[Russ]

So that's part one of three up at a whopping 8000 words! Check it out, leave some feedback now or wait 'til it's all up, your choice (would be cool to read realtime thoughts though!).

[Insomnia]

Team SCCW vs. VWF was great. Really got into the match and the drama and emotion as the eliminations came and thee odds mounted against SCCW was fantastic. There was really good use of psychology and the grandstand feel this match needed was there in spades. Love how the rivalries were interwoven and my favourite part was when Rickman just smiled and went for it - really balls to the wall stuff. 'Liked that. Kinda sad SCCW lost in the end as I find myself routing for 'em. Damn those knux!

Opening seg with JB, CJ etc was interesting to read though I must admit I'm not completely up to speed on that storyline. (My own fault.)

Doug/Noble seg was great to see, continuing on their heat and the repeated path crossings of SCW and APW. That's a match I'd love to see right there.

Just reading Noble vs. BADASS and so far it's predictably wonderful. Love the classic use of an injured knee. So simple but can make for fantastic psychology in matches which is one thing you guys have in abundance. Each and every match tells a story! Can't wait to read the rest.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

Twas some good shit.

First batch of feedback here we go.

Russ takes great care in this. You can tell by the emotion that comes out in the stories of matches and segs. CJ/Jack was great. You sort of get the feel during the build up that their title match was a bit overshadowed by the team matches and those in the team matches wanted that to happen to. That being said, they remind everyone that THEY ARE A MAIN EVENT! More fuel for the match to come. Great segment.

The SCCW/VWF match was an unpredictable read for me and I appreciate that. A lot of credit goes to the rpers for putting out quality stuff. Like Som said, great work in mixing in rivalries into the team match. Overall totally good stuff. I picked VWF to win but it could of went either way for sure.

I appreciate the care put into our characters. I won't go into a diatribe about the Doug/Noble bits since I'm a part of it other than thanking Russ for keeping attention to our rivalry as it dates back to last year and how Doug's character really has that hatred/jealousy of Noble. When it comes to the MDK/Juan seg, I dug it but I was surprised there wasn't more swearing out of MDK. It is pay per view ya know lol.

And as for the Noble/Bad Ass match...a classic wrestling encounter. Really had that great 90s style back and forth in it with a good story to be told. Big props to everyone involved so far and so much more to look forward to.

-sugar for Russ-

To the feedback! 

Very nice opening bit - Benevolence got told by Gates.  I loved how the audience reactions were shown throughout, made it really easy to picture it all.

Team SCCW vs Team VWF excellently done, really got you rooting for SCCW and hoping Hannah might do it.  For a 'condensed' version of a match this was surprisingly detailed and lovely, nice flow of action that was easy to understand and follow.

The Noble / Fresh segment = wow, let's throw more fuel on that fire!  Nicely tense and I'm surprised neither swung on the other, for real and not just a flincher.

Right into M.D.K and Juan.  M.D.K. is always solid gold any time he's on a screen, that's for sure.  I'm also surprisingly liking this team and their chemistry.

Oooh the grudge match.  Kurt Noble vs BAD ASS
Gosh ... and yeah I just said gosh ... this was great.  Every little thing you look for in a grudge match was here.  Crowd heat, cheering, even the huge insult of a finisher stealing by BAD ASS.  I really liked this a lot, and it just whetted my appetite to see more of this show!

Great job so far Russ!

One thing I've caught onto that I really like about the way you write results is the actual flow and awareness of the writing. It feels like someone describing a real event rather than a list of moves, the enthusiasm comes through in a major way and definitely elevates everything as a whole.

I'm thanking my lucky stars I put a brief mention of Rickman and DiBiase in my RP because now I get to brag that I know hardcore roleplayers (word). The SCCW/VWF match was handled really well and it reminded me of the New Experts/ORC match last year with how Hannah Rickman went on a massive run before falling at the final hurdle. A lot of stuff to be taken from this from all involved, definitely a great match.

Gates and Benevolence have a segment that introduces and educates people on the basis of their feud, I wasn't familiar with the D&N specifics so this caught me up just fine.

MDK and Ramirez are money but I'm naturally hoping that Johnny Knuckles gives them a donkey punch.

Kurt/BADASS was handled well, read well and had good flow like everything on the card. Massively happy for Kurt to get the win although traditional wrestling booking dictates that APW cannot whitewash the event. On a personal level I think this should give Kurt the impetus he needs to elevate himself to the peak of APW because he's always had the skillset to do it.

Alright, Alright, Alrriiigghhhtttt ...

Time for some feedback. I read some of it last night but couldn't make it to the finish line. This morning, I just got finished reading it.

With the starting segment of Jack Benevolence 'pooing' on The Warden's intro. Makes you want to just beat the hell out of him but you can't, he's the 'greatest on this planet, he's an expert at his craft, a True Expert and he has the title to prove it. Then out comes the hero in CJ Gates to  save the Warden from getting dropped. JB started with the shove, CJ was about to end it with the finish, but the good ole' manager Russell White saved his man from getting pancaked. CJ just 'showed up' the True Experts Champ. The Champ is gonna get got! LoL

I really digged the detail within the video packages before the matches, the history well written as a video through words.

The first rivals match, Team SCCW vs Team VWF. This match was a brawl. At first I was like, damn, SCCW is getting ousted one by one until Riku hit that sick Corkscrew 630. All those revolutions cost VWF their first elimination. It was balls to the wall with the two teams. VWF took advantage once again eliminating all but one in Hannah Rickman. She completely went 'H.A.M' and destroyed VWF one by one. I thought too she had it but Edmunds went 'Power of the Punch' and clocked her. Edmunds got the victory for his team but he knows in the back of his head that payback's going to come for that. That match was off the chain, setting off the rest of the rival team matches.

Onto the next segment, Doug E. Fresh pissing off Noble's peace time in getting ready for BAD ASS. The tension between these two cannot be cut with a knife. Luckily for Doug, he didn't wind up knocked out cold. However the Professor just got psyched out by Noble. Those great psyche games come into play. This is far from over! Awesomeness!

This goes right into M.D.K/JR, the chemistry is well documented between the two. Rivals, somehow on the same damn page. That is rare. I felt for Larry Smith, nervous as hell between those two, haha. The personalities of the two are like Peanut Butter and Jelly. Love it! That true expert tag match is gonna be huge.

Next, grudge match between Noble and BAD ASS, this was definitely a hit. Both sides were equaled with BAD ASS taking that knee. They both gave their all and to see BA torture Noble with his own Finisher was epic, almost had Noble tapping but Noble pulled it out and ends it with the Noble Neckbreaker. The crowd goes wild. BA steaming like a kettle while I said that Noble/Fresh was far from over.

I truly enjoyed the read. The depths within the matches and segments were a hit. The hard work to pump out the first portion for us as it leaves us waiting for that 2nd and 3rd. I know over the past I haven't left my voice in feedback, but I truly respect your hard work to not only write these matches and add loads of detail and realism to it, but to do it within an unexpected time. I thought you were going to put the first up for today but you did it last night. Stellar work!

You are a pimp.

[Knuckles]

wat can be said that hasnt already been said? excellent job guys and im glad i was apart of it. grats to MDK and Ramirez.

[Black.Jaysus]

First off, it was a pleasure of being apart of that epic tag event. Was some great competitive pieces from all.

The second part of these results were awesome. The epic backstage brawl between PW and TFWF were sick. The inbetween segments were on point and comical. Jack Benevolence is the king, haha. Everything continued to flow extremely well.

That tag match, it was back and forth's and the moves were well written, the creativity of moves listed in there and like made up put the "Wow!" factor in. Never seen so many kick-ass double team moves, sickness overall.

Once again, Night 2 is outstanding. Can't wait for Night 3 & 4!

[Doug E Fresh]

I definitely agree that was one of the most 'tag team' filled tag team matches I've read in a long time. Huzzah to Juan and M.D.K. for the win. Segs were all very good. I feel characters have been captured very well (I know mine has especially the bit with Insomnia). The segs really seamed to flow in this part as well. Keep em coming Russ.

[dbrunk01]

I won't lie. I only read the tag match.

It was a really good read. There was a lot of information packed in, and I think it ended pretty much the way I expected it to. Congrats to the winners.

I'll be back. Also, get to the chopper.

[Sabra]

Tag Match Delicioso!! 

I love tag team wrestling and I enjoy reading a well written tag team match - this was great.  I loved how M.D.K. and Juan worked together and it wasn't because I was rooting for them in the first place either - no offense to the others esp Liz <3. 

And I loooooved the Team SCW segment.  The tension between Som and Doug was absolutely what we've grown to expect from those two, and enjoy.  I can't wait to see what comes next! 

Amazing job Russ and much <3 for doing it.

[Scott Rage]

I got so excited to see the Warden as an old SW participant. So when Benevolence cuts him off RIGHT AWAY, he got heat from me AND the crowd. ha. great way to start it all off with the pompous True Expert. Well-written on all parts, including Gates.

Congrats to VWF for the first Faction win of the show! very well-written match, almost rides the line between a summarized match and still covering every bit of action. Very nice open-ended cheating to leave a little bit in the air for the close battle.

That goes for all the matches so far. Great summaries that still manage to flow through the match as a whole, and not chop from a tie-up, a spot, and a finish. Great job Russ, keeping the flow going despite all the RPs you have to read and judge and ALL this stuff you have to write. You always manage to keep the creative edge in it and that's damn impressive. I can barely write two RPs back to back. haha.

Great TFWF/PW brawl to not only build hype and continue the hatred from the past, but also to take Taylor out of the match to be posted. Very nicely planned out and done.

and, ofcourse, huge congrats to Ramirez and MDK to be the first two of a new era. the Experts Tag Team Champions! Way to rep PW Juan-man, and an amazing RP job by all involved. Great job writing the match out as it made the titles feel important right from the get go!

[Insomnia]

Well, once again fantastic stuff! I love the contrast between the rivalries of PW & TFWF and SCW & APW. No one clan feels the same and the tension between 'Som & Doug was excellent. You captured both characters and their mindset brilliantly and neutrals can immediately see how hard it is for them to fight through their pride. (Ala Rock/Jericho during thee invasion angle.)

TE Tag match was unbelievably good, too. No scratch that - perfect.

The Brenda heat, the near misses and then -THAT- spiked ball-bustin' piledriver! 2 of my fav parts of a highlights filled WAR that smartly kept everyone active and involved. I enjoyed being introduced to some characters I wasn't previously familiar with and it's my favourite match thus far. Kudos to the winners - but just being part of that match probably feels like a victory in itself.

'Must say Jack's outburst and demanding CJ Gates wrestle with one arm was ace too. Classic heel stuff but pulled off so well! You don't have to rape a guys bitch to generate some decent ire from the crowd. 'Just need to be clever. Biggsy is already proving to be a nuisance n' all!

Loving being a part of this event, you've made it very accessible for newbies which with so many characters goin' on must be so difficult. Kudos for that! I can see how people get addicted to these kind of events!

[Nick]

I like what I've read so far, but my biggest compliment to you from a fedhead standpoint is the pacing of the first two parts. With a day or two in between, the reader was forced to read that well written show and not just skim to their match or fed's spotlight. I don't know if it was intentional, but well done Russ.
