I'll work on feedback later, but right now I wanted to address some matches as far as why the results came out the way they were. Will contain spoilers, so if you haven't read the show yet, hit that back button and go read it!
Alexander Draven/Dreadlock:
While Dreadlock had no-showed, Shaggy, as well as I, wanted to get a head start on writing the PPV matches since they're full length results. We weren't counting on Dreadlock no-showing, given the number of Character Development RPs he had posted when he wasn't booked for the prior show. So as a compromise, Silvus stepped in and wrote the ending part where Gory and Tanya obliterate Dreadlock.
Chris Angel/Cyanide, and Vincent Matthews/Jack Clinton/Soul Reaper:
Reaper had told me in advance that he was going to try to get an RP up, but couldn't make any promises as he had been job hunting(and if I'm not mistaken, he goes to school as well), and he recently started a new job. So Shaggy wrote off Cyanide the way he did in the Taipei Deathmatch, and I had Soul Reaper dominated right before he was eliminated in the Three Way Dance, as well as giving Vincent Matthews and Jack Clinton a ton more for the match.
War Games:
Again, JD had gotten on someone else's computer to let me know what was going on, as he had computer problems. He said he'd try to get an RP up, but couldn't make any promises. There was no way I could really substitute anyone into Destruction Crew's spot and have good heat going into the match this late in the game, and there was no way that a 5-on-1 War Games, or even a 4-on-2 with Nick Scott joining Matt Margera, would look right. So I talked to both Jugg and Ninja, asking them if they wanted to stick with the predetermined outcome we had discussed(which was Jugg's idea to begin with as this was the feud ender for Destruction Crew vs Chapter Six), and they gave their blessing. I made sure to not totally squash JD's guys, but at the same time gave Kid Thunder and Chapter Six more offense. My original plan was for one of JD's guys to get the win for the team of D Crew and Matt Margera, but with JD not being able to RP, I didn't think that would look right, so I had Matt Margera pick up the win.
If you have any questions about anything I may not have addressed, feel free to PM me. Don't PM me asking for feedback, because I will be posting that here later.

Like Matt I'm going to wait a bit on mine since I am also pretty drained from the weekend. However, I'd like to thank everyone who did RP for doing so, and I'd like to especially give my personal thanks to both freak and Fawn. Both of you two RPed well, and it made it a lot easier for me to RP and in turn it allowed for both matches to be off the charts. Not just as a writer or a staffer, but as general roster talent I really do appreciate the effort.

I also forgot to give Shaggy credit for the show open. Stellar job!

Don't PM me asking for feedback, because I will be posting that here later. based off my own circumstances (the computer), i'd have to agree with your conclusion. too hard to replace me, under short notice. plus, since i couldn't promo, no sense in making D-Crew dominate. i actually appreciate getting some offense in there, at all. the fact that i wasn't made into a jobber makes me happy. i loved seeing Nick Scott turning on Chapter Six. |

Just an FYI: Petey Rotchester is from NORTHERN Ireland, which is VERY different from Ireland.
Other than that, great show, everyone!!

FINALLY... Feedback time:
Andy Lionheart vs Criss Cassidy
First off, Dark Sun, we're not going to put Melissa Gainsburgh in Andy Lionheart's corner for matches until she has either a wrestler's bio(as you had expressed interest in using her as a wrestling character), or a manager's/valet's bio. Second, I liked how you were able to turn Cassidy's gimmick against him, and how you mentioned the pending arrival of Melissa Gainsburgh. But like I said, get her bio posted, or it will remain a pending arrival.
Darth, you were off to a good start with the first paragraph of the RP, but then came the second, third and fourth paragraphs of dialogue. They all looked way too similar to past RPs, to the point that I was wondering if I really had read all of this before, and that you just changed a few words here and there. Really, all that was needed were your first and last paragraphs of dialogue. They both looked original and got to the point.
Rev X vs Gavin/Bianca vs Alley Ratz
OK, first off, Josh had talked to me and asked that he take LOA. But he did give me permission to go ahead and write off his team with this match, which is what I did. So that said, it came down to Ninja's and Fawn's respective teams. And this was a tough one. Fawn, you played well your characters well as always. And Ninja, this was a step in the right direction for making the Alley Ratz as a team that can contend for the Texas Tag Team Titles. In the end, the nod went to the Alley Ratz, plus it's just as well that two different handlers go at it for the Texas Tag Titles.
Age of SIN vs Y Kores
Tim, loved the reemergence of Viper for this RP to give a pep talk to his students, though I would've loved to have heard more from Xalar Malum to develop his character a bit other than the musclehead who looks like The Totally Made in the USA Narcissist Package.
Jillie, I understand the bit about what happened during the second week of RPing, which is why I urged everyone to try to RP during the first week if they weren't all that busy. I know you didn't mean for it to come across this way, but someone who's taking a look at this fed from the outside may look at this as someone blowing off a PPV match. I am glad you got one up, but the nod pretty much went to Viper by default because if I let you win this match with you RPing last minute, then someone else will ask "How come I didn't win with a last minute RP but so and so did?!"
Chris Angel/Cyanide
As I mentioned earlier, Reaper had apprised me ahead of time that he'd try to get his RPs up, but mentioned there was a good possibility he couldn't. He didn't want anyone to think he was sandbagging on them, and decided it was better to gracefully bow out. As for when Reaper will be back, I do not know at this time, but the door is welcome for him whenever he can come back as I can't begrudge a man trying to put food on the table and go to school to better his life.
Angel, I'm pleasantly surprised at what a good RP you were able to produce considering what had happened with your grandmother passing on. In fact, I wasn't going to hold it against you if you hadn't been able to RP, but you did. And I laughed that someone other than Shaggy or me roughed up Bob Sturm ;D
Katrina/Emo Kid
Stacy, while the first RP was rather short, I did like how you addressed what happened when Emo Kid was trying to aid Katrina... or was he trying to aid Katrina? And I liked how you took my advice about working in the attempted shoplifting incident in your second RP, though I would've liked to have seen Katrina say a bit more. I'm not asking for anything that we saw from the likes of Seraphina and Shadowsleet in the early days of the WRF(anyone remember how long THOSE RPs were?! Sheesh!), but you get the idea. For example, you could've brought up how Emo Kid stole a win from Katrina since he had the benefit of someone interfering in that first meeting. I'm looking forward to what you'll have on tap now that the bulk of your competitive efedding will be at SNW.
Aaron, I liked the reply you had to Katrina, maintaining your innocence. However, the follow up seemed to have been lacking. It seemed a bit too short, and seemed to focus more on the life and times of Emo Kid and Hannah and not on a big title match on PPV.
Alexander Draven/Dreadlock
Dark Sun, I liked the dialogue portion for your RP. However, the beginning description felt a bit too vague. What was surrounding Alexander Draven? Was he out at a park? Was he out at a shopping center that had a bench for him to sit at? Some better details could've made this a better RP.
Dreadlock, there was no reason for you to no-show this PPV given the effort you put in when you weren't booked. And this isn't the first time you've screwed us over like this when we started giving you a push. I'll discuss the consequences with you over IM or PM if Silvus hasn't already.
TNT vs Young Gunz
Wrestlemania III had Savage/Steamboat. No Mercy 1999 had Edge and Christian vs the Hardy Boyz in the finals of the Terri Invitational contested in a Ladder Match. Well, Summer Bash had TNT vs the Young Gunz. This was a very tough match to call, as it was a very solid effort by both Fawn and Shaggy. Shaggy, you definitely had the edge in the comedy department, but Fawn, you weren't one to be outdone as you countered Shaggy and turned what the Young Gunz said and/or did against them. I also couldn't help but laugh when Rutherford reminded Smith who it was that lost the belts the first time around at 4 Up.
War Games
Ninja, a solid RP to help get Kid Thunder back in contention. I loved the reference to an old issue of WCW Magazine talking about War Games, and relating it to this match.
Jugg, I damn near laughed my ass off at that very short and brief character development RP you wrote up where the SNW camera crew arrived at the studios, only to see a note telling them where to meet up with Chapter Six. Your RP to follow that up was very solid. I wouldn't have expected Sean O'Brien to have said that Chapter Six didn't need Alex Daniels, and I took it as you trying to keep people from expecting Nick Scott to be the one turning face(which btw, time to update that particular profile. lol).
Reaper/Matthews/Clinton
With Reaper being unable to RP, this one came down to Vincent Matthews and Jack Clinton. Shaggy, I have to give you kudos on pointing out that both of your opponents were from California, yet were somehow qualified to wrestle for the Texas Heavyweight Championship. Very humorous in its own right. Yet you were also able to keep that very serious tone when RPing for Vincent Matthews. I also like how Vincent is walking that line of a cocky douchebag with a dark, maniacal edge to him. Not quite the early 90s Shawn Michaels, but not Ministry of Darkness Undertaker either. You've somehow managed to keep that balance somewhere in the middle.
Freak, you kept on par with Shaggy leading up to this match. I enjoyed the history lesson that you gave in your first RP, as to be honest, I didn't really know all that much about Jack Clinton as I was on my out of UHW when you had come on the scene. Darth, you can take a lesson from Freak's RP here. While it was lengthy in its own right, it wasn't repeating itself, it wasn't droning on, and it wasn't anything I've really read before and could've suspected as something that was copied and pasted with some wording changed around. The one thing that swayed my vote was the in-ring RP. The content of the dialogue itself was great. It was the fact that it was an in-ring RP, though granted, at the time of the posting, I hadn't clarified if I meant just SNW in-ring or in-ring in general. Also, another factor that swayed my vote was why would another promotion allow Jack Clinton to come in and advertise a PPV from another promotion? And why would Gordie and Matt Margera just off and let Jack appear at said promotion? And before anybody criticizes me about this "hampering people's creativity," look at it from this point of view. In my book, if you're writing an in-ring RP, you might as well turn it in as a segment for the show, because that's essentially what it is, which is great if you want to contribute to the show.
Anyway, great job overall on the RPs, peeps.
