Overall Rating (1-10, 10=best, 1=Worst): 8.5 Best Match: I'm guessing you don't want us to say our own, but big props to Duce for the hell of a show for Starr vs Mora. Otherwise I'm going to have to go with Elisha vs The Shadow. It was brutal, it was crazy, it was everything you'd expect out of those two and was superbly written. Best Commentary Line: Jim Gunt: They're fighting outside with the fans who couldn't get in! Mike Rolash: This is a pay per view! They should have to pay for this stupidity up close and in doors...where we can make more money off the schmucks. Best Segment: Beware the Acts of a Desperate Man Honorable Mention: The Valentine segments Best Surprise: Best Feud/Storyline: Dorian Hawkhurst vs Ataxia, I liked the use of the bar to further the storyline developing. I have a feeling this is far from over. MVP of the Week: MJ Flair, congrats Champ Ending Thoughts/Predictions for the next show: Welcome to day one of the never ending Paramount Championship reign! |

The Ritten House: Great opener, very ominous and great balance between what some feel is mumbo jumbo and connection to what is happening in-universe! Anderson interview: Felt like a segment for segment's sake, there was no story, no progression, nothing that would make me as reader interested in it. Twist at end was saving grace. Ortiz/Anderson/Chris/Metrosupp: Short, but good, had nice action that gave each contender some nice spots, with the predictable ending based on the roleplays. A STARR shines brightly tonight: Great continuation of the character development so far, loved the little side story about Payne, and Starr knowing DC is very intriguing as well! Especially since they even share the same agent. Azrael vs. Mia: Predictable outcome, also pretty short, but had some cool spots, especially liked the turnbuckle reference ![]() Make-A-Wish: The Dorian/Ataxia segments and matches are just so fresh and entertaining, one of our greatest feuds right now, hands down! Coalition vs. Stranger Danger: Finally a full match, lol, nice back and forth, unfortunate for Harvey's injury, poor guy. Only criticism - Need more Marie! A Bold Entrance: Great introduction, really builds up the interest in seeing DC in the ring! Paramount match: One of the tightest matches we've had in a while both in terms of rps and also the match itself. The intensity really came through and was an awesome read! To the Slaughter: One of the most brutal and intense I have seen so far, it REALLY shows the darkening of Jace in dramatic fashion! The stabbing of the animals was a bit too out there for me, though... Something the World Has Never Seen: Great continuation of the roleplay and buildup for the match, Joe has done an awesome job making Nerezza a truly horrific character that can wreak immense havoc and go on a real rampage through CWF! Sexay vs. Hodge: I wrote it, so some might claim I might be biased... I think it's a nice introduction of Nerezza to CWF and I hope also a reminder to people that at PPVs we have several commentator tables for your perusal But what will happen with Sexay???The Anthem of Champions: I love the Lost Boys and their great balance between seriousness and humour ![]() This is My Night: Oooh, someone is a sore loser... But it is a great buildup and really makes me wonder who is going to get it, since there are still a lot of matches left! Bright Young Things vs. Lost Boys: Obviously the happenings at the Academy threw a huge wrench into the game, but I really liked the intro of Silas, it was a little lengthy, but it fit perfectly, wasn't as drawn out as sometimes in the past and it really fit. Really surprised about the return of Mace and Carlton and I loved the interplay between these two characters within the match, not being on the same page at all. Loved everything about and around this match! Give me What I Want: Ataxia at his best, playing mind games and manipulating. Everything for the good of the company, of course! Beware the Acts of Desperate Men: Loved the segment, played perfectly Sunset's attempts to buy people and a sly MJ. Dorian vs. Ataxia: One hell of a match, absolutely loved it, from the coffin sequence to it getting further and further away from the arena, one of the best I've read since I've started in CWF and as mentioned before, the Dorian/Ataxia feud is absolute gold! Ready for Battle: Can't judge, but I wanted to set the mood for the match and also give the druids some character instead of just having them be a group of people. The Tormented Soul: Great continuation of the first segment. King vs. Solstice: Another great match, I liked that it went all over the place and the usage of Jarvis' moves by Solstice was great and also a nice surprise at the end with the unmasking. Pregame Meeting: Duce still very pensive, more introverted than he used to and unfortunately I screwed up the order of the two segments of his... Cain vs. Ryan: Pretty quick exploitation of an opponent's injury, nice to see Amber back in business! Nothing I Can't Handle: Should have been the first of the two segments and it really makes you wonder, who were the people in the van, why did they dump Duce and most importantly, what is up with the Po doll? Elisha vs. The Shadow: Definitely one out of my usual comfort zone with all the weapons and injuries and whatnot, but Jonty and I felt that this feud and match deserved more than just a regular match and I figured I'd go all out out there in the forest... The Key to the Truth: All signs seem to pointing to Japan, and there was something with Japan or near Japan or something...? Main event: A real roller coaster of a match that it pretty much all. Everybody had great moments and it had everything that a main event at a PPV would or should have and then the twist with Mora at the end really rounded things off ![]() Overall Rating (1-10, 10=best, 1=Worst): 9.5 Best Match: Again, not supposed to choose your own, so Dorian vs. Ataxia! Best Commentary Line: This one is always the hardest for me, because when I proof read it, I don't take notes of the commentary and reading through 116 pages again... Best Segment: The Ritten House Honorable Mention: Beware the Acts of a Desperate Man Best Surprise: I actually won! Best Feud/Storyline: Dorian vs. Ataxia MVP of the Week: Starr - Congrats! Ending Thoughts/Predictions for the next show: What's the use to try to predict anything in this place? We'll throw curveballs all over anyways, lol. But it looks like it is going to be a really jampacked show...again! |

The Ritten House This was a solid way to open the show - focusing in on the true face of everything CWF; even if he isn't as strong of a presence as he once was. With everything that's going on Rish's life, I think it's important to focus on desperation here. He hasn't eaten, his existence overturned by a cataclysmic level of stress of emotion - it makes sense that he barely hesitates to enter a psychic reading brick and mortar. I love how, on occasion, Rish backs away from the idea of moving forward. To me, this means that there's a level of judgement still sparking off somewhere inside of his brain - but not enough for him to be unwilling to listen to what this woman has to say. I can see this psychic following Rish. Perhaps not in the flesh, but something ethereal - spiritual - where the card readings continue to flash back into Rish's mind. All kinds of things to think about after this segment too. For instance, why did she ask if Rish had seen the body? Is she insinuating that his son isn't dead? What's the key all about? How is this going to play a role, logistically, that ties into everything else transpiring? I really like what we have here so far, and look forward to seeing what happens next. [Stars: 4 out of 5] Interview with Tyler Anderson This segment confused me. Tyler is approached for an interview, spends a couple of minutes essentially repeating his lack of certainty of what he wants to do. He is apologetic of what went down between him and his brother, yet, he would be open to a "sibling" feud? He knows he wants to feud with someone - but doesn't know who. I don't know what level of realism that we're shooting for, especially when it comes to interviews, but I can't find the realism in an interviewer asking a superstar who they want to feud with. Moreover, I can't see a superstar saying something like, "sibling feud". The way this segment came off is - we aren't sure of what to do with Tyler - Oh wait, there's Mia Rayne - and then boom, there's this sudden attack, some quickly delivered trash talk, and then - fade? I get the idea here - as this is supposed to be setting up for something bigger, but it just felt poorly developed, and far too rushed. Beyond this, I'm still anxious to see what becomes of this storyline, of course. Things can start of rocky, but that doesn't mean that there isn't gold hidden underneath the veil. [Stars - 1 out of 5] Fatal Fourway For starters, great job having the commentators react to the previous segment. This, to me, is VERY important if you're going to have commentary. I've always voiced my distaste for commentary, as I find it be fluff/filler, but when you develop a unique dynamic with continuity, it works. As far as the match is concerned - well written for a fatal fourway. Fourways are tough to manifest, because you have to find time to make sure that everyone shines properly. The ending was decent too, having Crazy Chris turn into the momentum killer with that Crazy Bitch, after Ortiz was on a role with that massive clothesline. Length wise, this is right in the pressure cooker for me. For this to be an opener, I don't think adding much more here is necessary. Good pick up for Chris as well - congrats on the win! [Stars - 3 out of 5] A STARR Shines Brightly Tonight This was a decent segment - but honestly, a tad long at the same time. In reading this, it started to feel like a straight promo. The direction of the segment seemed to spiral around in a circle, which had me wondering where all of this was going. It started off with Starr delivering a promo about his match Mora, and then so much happened at once. Some guy named Eli Silver appears - shows Starr some sort of TMZ article, asks if it's true, Starr asks the same question, then he dips as quickly as he appeared - seemingly running away from Payne, who was asking about a Batman glass? I think a lot of my confusion is simply not knowing this character well enough - or the shenanigans surrounding him. Being away for over a month has a tendency to do this. So, if this segment comes off clearly to the active readers of Starr - or of CWF in general - then awesome. I like the character - and his general attitude - but regardless of what my perspective is, I think that if this had just kept to the initial promo formula that it had at the beginning, this would have been a much better segment altogether. [Stars - 2 out 5.] Azrael vs. Mia Rayne So for starters - I just have to say that I LOVE the introduction of the international commentators. Obviously, this is heavy duty WWE style, but I think it adds a little salt and pepper to the show - especially a show with such depth as a PPV. Great work with whomever thought this would be a good idea. Very good match here - well wrote from A to Z. I loved the use of the turnbuckle, and the commentary was actually quite good in this match. For instance - this line: Mike Rolash: Don’t be surprised, if the Roadies find Azrael’s teeth embedded in the padding. At least, to me, is gold. There's a point, as well, when Gunt asks Rolash if his train of thought has a caboose. That's a witty attack that seems so fitting for guy like Gunt to say. Lots of focus on keeping this match technical - both of these superstars were absolutely game in this match, both were able to truly show off their abilities, and that's what it's really all about in the long run. [Stars - 4 out of 5] Make-A-Wish Alright - so we have Dorian Hawkhurst psyching himself about meeting Make-A-Wish kids, even going as far as getting Impact Championship Belt replicas made for them. Firstly, I already have a good feeling about this character. I like the way the staff member responds to - almost as if he's been through this type of over-jubilant demeanor that Dorian seemingly abides by. Of course, the twist is what makes all of this work perfectly. Instead of meeting a bunch of kids, there's only five of them - and they're all wearing sacks over their heads - obviously a signature of Ataxia's. Ataxia likes to play games, and this is definitely a cruel one to play on the super-face, in Dorian is it appears, here. Strongly looking forward to what becomes of this angle, but I like the direction that it's going in. I'll be honest - keep bringing the kids back with the sacks over their heads. There's something deranged about it, and it feels so "Children of the Corn". Just a suggestion. [Stars - 4 out of 5] Stranger Danger vs. The Coalition Not a bad match - a decent balance in terms of momentum - lots of excellent comebacks, second winds, and the heroic flurry with Harvey at the near just before he injures himself. This was a good way to set up the ending, as TLS was distracted long enough for Silas to execute. Sometimes, there's too much of a balance. In this match, you could tell that the better team this evening - throughout - was The Coalition. They seemed bigger, and the moves they executed seemed to have a harsher outcome than those of Stranger Danger. This is how it should be, however. Not every match should have this perfect level of equality to it. Bar a few spelling issues here and there, we've got ourselves a good, concise read. [Stars - 4 out of 5] A Bold Entrance Okay, so this segment seems to add to what took place earlier with Starr and Payne. I like how DC casually takes the microphone out of Tara's hand, and gives it to Cal - whom, at that point, becomes the interviewer. This felt like something The Dudley Boys, or even The Nasty Boys, would do at their peak. Very rebellious - almost in an immature way. It works well, and the dialogue seemed to flow relatively well. Payne shows up at the tail-end of an interview that, regardless, went nowhere - and it leaves me with the question, what type of beef do we have here? I feel like this may have been something that played out previously that I just haven't caught myself up to date on, but why is Payne so alarmed by these two? Especially DC? Is this some sort of jealousy? Does Payne think she is going to be pushed aside, and knocked out of Starr's life, because of this DC guy? That's all I can gather at this point - some sort of deeply burning state of envy? No matter what's happening, it's safe to say that everything is going to collapse before too long. It's essentially written on the wall at this point. [Stars - 3 out of 5] Jay Mora vs. Christian Starr Um. Wow? Now, this was a perfectly written match. No flaws whatsoever. The action was consistently intense, great movework - and realistic transitions - and what about that double superkick with synchronized elegance? This felt like a Miz vs. Jericho type of situation - two men with great physical abilities, the type of talent that's packaged within the two aforementioned men, plus somebody like AJ Styles - and the explosiveness that went on during this one. Pure brilliance across the board, and majors kudos to whomever wrote this gem - it was as entertaining as you'll likely get when it comes to an eW match. You made both Starr and Mora look MASSIVE tonight and it's because of this match that I am now in love with both of them. Great, great, GREAT work. This being a title match, there was a little bit more depth/length to it. But honestly - even the matches at the beginning of the night - if you following along to how tight this match was, and then condense it down to about half of this for non-title events, or non-gimmick events - and every single match is going to be a fucking ball of fire. [Stars - 5 out of 5] To The Slaughter Interesting segment, indeed, and a very different strut to Jace's walk. He murders two farm animals and then takes out the watchdog. The bastard. I could handle the throat-slicing, or even the stomach jabbing - but twisting a dog's neck until there's a fucking pop? Made me cringe, honestly. This is eW though, right? Unbridled. Go for the boat, or go home - and it's quite clear what Jace's firm objective was here. I like the idea here though, and symbolism worked well, albeit grotestque. Hype promos for big matches are important, especially at this point in the show, because you want the readers to remember what's coming up - you're making every effort to keep their attention span awake and aware - and this segment definitely drove that home exponentially. So, this begs the question, is this a permanent change in Jace? I mean - if the cards ARE stacked against him - and the outcome is that he loses tonight, what does that do to Jace's psyche? Does he officially snap? Does he take the rest of the farm animals and go full on torture porn with them? Time will only tell. For some reason though, i could NOT picture Jace "rolling" around in the spilt blood. This, for some reason, was the only thing that didn't feel like it fit Jace - no matter if there's some sort of evolution to his personality or not. [Stars - 4 out of 5] Harley Hodge vs. Big Sexay For starters, the handler of Big Sexay and I go back to Ancient CWF. We're talking ten years ago, if not more. And you know what? I never liked him. He was always an obnoxious douche bag; I was willing to assume that had something to do with age, a massive induction of testerone, his balls dropping - whatever. For the first time in ten years, I conversed with Alex - with Justin in the chat as well - and was completely surprised to find out that he's still the same old obnoxious, smart-ass douche bag that he always was. You give Justin a hard time for asking you to come back - as a one off - because he respects your standing with CWF - all because you're so busy being an entrepreneur? And then you end up blowing him off, no-showing, after assuming that Justin is going to maintain big plans to send you off? Ha. Needless to say, Nerezza is going to have some fun with Big Sexay now. All of that being said - I thought the match was excellent. Alex [the good one], great job with developing an entrance for Nerezza. I gave you full creative control over it, and you hit a grand slam. I also love, once again, the introduction of the international commentators; this time it was the biased Australians. Great stuff here. I love the big bump through the Japanese commentator booth, Nerezza's power, and the overall balance of competition - even with Sexay no-showing. This doesn't have to be something that happens all the time, but I really loved the fact that Nerezza slung Sexay over his shoulder and carried him away. It has this body count feel to it that really matches up well with what I'm shooting for with Nerezza. Excellent writing across the board. And please excuse the rant at the beginning here. An honest man is going to be -- honest. [Stars - 5 out of 5] Commercials Instead of commenting on each of these seperately, I just want to say that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this. Does it have any relevance to the show? Nope. Absolutely not, but who cares? It's REAL. Even on the WWE Network, there's commercials. Granted, they are always wrestling-based, to hype up things happening on this network, but this is just a general PPV. No reason to assume that CWF doesn't have to pay their bills. I believe Alex was behind these, and they are just spotless gold from one line to the next. This should be a staple - for at least the PPVs - in my opinion. The Anthem of Champions Well, all right then. Excellent segment. It had hilarity, heart, emotion, tension - everything you'd want out of a hype segment. This had structure and fantastic dialogue between Sam and Dean. "If Dean was able to read minds he would have discovered that Sam's thoughts were back in Australia to a man in jail. Above anything else Sam was afraid he may end up like his biological life-giver. The usually blithe Sam Braxton feared few things greater than that reality" - What? This reads like a novel, man. It's so good, and says so much in such a small space. Great job here all the way through. [Stars - 5 out of 5] This Is My Night Back to back gold. Jay Mora going absolutely bat-shit crazy after his loss to Christian Starr. So much passionate rage here, and Tara's reaction is amazing. She is literally swollen shut at Mora's intensity. This is how you handle a loss, too, if you've the personality akin to that of Mora's. He is willing to take it to the chin, partially, but also puts himself in the spotlight by saying that Starr became the powerhouse he was tonight because of Mora. Very good progression here, in terms of Mora's edge, and I'm hopeful that this is progression in terms of a Starr/Mora feud as well. [Stars - 5 out of 5] The Lost Boys vs. The Entourage Interesting turn of events, with BYT forfeiting and being forced to vacate the tag titles, but it brings with it an excellent new tag match between TLB and The Entourage, Mace and Carlton. [BTW: I love that the referees are introduced. Another excellent addition] - This was another amazingly well-written match. Great balance between the two teams - excellent showdowns, great team-work, great strengths shown for all of the men in the ring. Through the outsider's perspective, this match could have easily gone either way, competitively. No matter, a big and well-deserved victory to The Lost Boys, our new tag champions. I saw MASSIVE things for these guys when they initially debuted a while back. Look at where they are now! Give Me What I want... Or Else I love Ataxia - always have - and pitting him with Sunset conversationally is bound to have some sort of goodness there. This segment didn't disappoint too much, as the dynamic in how opposite the two of these men are came out in full color. I do wish that Sunset didn't fold as easily as he did. I get WHY he folded - as Ataxia sit right into the lap of Sunset's initial plans anyways, but Sunset was deadset against anything Ataxia had to say at first. Realistically, being how wise of a business man Sunset is, through my eyes, it would still have to take a little bit more convincing - even by Ataxia - for Sunset to cave like he did. Fact is, Sunset did. This essentially adds the power of persuasion to Ataxia's arsenal. With that type of wielding sword, what else does Ataxia have up his sleeve? Time will only tell. [Stars - 3 out of 5] Beware The Acts of a Desperate Man Mariella fucking Jade Flair. The boss. This was probably my favorite segment at this point. It's simple. To the point. The dialogue reads like a movie script, but it feels so real. Mariella comes off as so witty, so well-prepared for whatever is served to her. Sunset tries to buy her out, Mariella thanks the man for the duffel bag of cash, and then begins to walk away before the man asks for verification as to whether or not this means that she is going to back out of the match. Mariella's response? Nope. I love it. And then that end, where Mariella challenges the man to take the money away from her and he just says, "I... can't", and her response is, "Then you need a new job, sir." - Spunky, bitchy, and straight to the point. This was perfection. [Stars - 5 out of 5] Ataxia vs. Hawkhurst Creative way for Hawkhurst to come out, in Ataxia's coffin. This was that "fuck you" that Hawkhurst was hoping to send to Ataxia after he pulled his stunt earlier in the night. When Ataxia pressed Hawkhurst's hands harder against his throat, commentator genius came out: Jim Gunt: Did he just...enjoy being choked? Mike Rolash: I don't wanna know the safety word. This match was absolutley insane. Piledriver through the coffin, the crucifix powebomb into the fucking dumpster, that weird collarbone maneuver that derives from an alien that lives on one of Jupiter's moons that Ataxia somehow pulls off to force Hawkhurst back into the dumpster. Intensity on high, man. I also love how Ataxia trash-talks during the entire match - very Kevin Owens. Then everything carries to a bar outside of the venue; fucking Hawkhurst is dropkicked through the front glass, and now we have a bar room brawl on our hands? Man, this one was all over the place. Super exciting, super unpredictable. HUGE win for Hawkhurst as well. The thing with Ataxia, however, is he is strong whether he wins or loses. Even with him locked to the bumper of a car, he remains inside of Hawkhurst's head - quite similar to how the Joker does with Batman. [Stars - 5 out of 5] Ready for Battle Very cool call to arms here. The Shadow reminds me of classic Undertaker, but with a very different shade to him of course. I love the fact that none of the druids backed down. This shows the level of respect they have for The Weaver of Dreams, and their willingness to go into battle, to sacrifice themselves for the sake of helping their leader evolve at the same time. Great writing here. [Stars - 5 out of 5] The Tormented Soul A bit of a continuance from a previous Jace segment - more of a free-roam perspective of the carnage from earlier, and a more interior look of Jace's transformation. He keeps saying that there's nothing left of Jace, that this is his will - and his will be done - that this is his dark place. I love how this developing, but it seemed out of place how quickly Jace snapped back into some sort of normality once Ryan appeared. Looking at this from a different perspective, I'm going to assume that Ryan is Jace's "safe place" - that Ryan is the one with the universal remote? I don't know. I guess we'll see with this one. With John, though, the writing is always top quality. [Stars - 4 out of 5] Ian King vs. Solstice At this point, this is probably match of the night. Just a crazy, unsanctioned heap of insanity that spans the entirety of the arena. So many amazingly unique moves executed. The story alone here really builds a lot of heat for this match - with Ian trying to avenge his brother, the imposter Solstice defending his mask, essentially, until we reach the end of the line and find that the man underneath the mask is Shane Donovan. Unfortunately, there isn't a shock factor here for me. I don't remember Shane Donovan at any point, but I'm sure he is going to play a HUGE role moving forward. Tara wasn't able to get any answers out of him, so I supposed we'll just to have to wait until next week for that. Great, great, GREAT match writing. [Stars - 5 out of 5] Pregame Meeting Serves as it states - just a warmup hype job here, but written well. I like the static friendship here between Duce and Freddie. They have an objective - take out Jace, then? Who knows. They make it very clear that once they take care of the task they've agreed upon, all bets are off. Solid segment - nothing much to see here, but it drives a point home. [Stars - 3 out of 5] Amber Ryan vs. Alex Cain A decent match, albeit short. It's tough to put too much of a gamble in a match that's unfortunately one-sided, but the writer did a good job with what was given to him. Nothing too crazy, in terms of in-ring action, but I thought Cain going for the injured arm was good for continuity's sake. I'm a little confused about this match's placement on the show. I probably would have placed this earlier into the night, especially when you look at some of the heavier hitting matches. That's just me though. [Stars - 3 out of 5] Nothing I Can't Handle What happened here? Seems so random, and kind of out of place. I like the fact that it calls back to his catchphrase, but what is this about? Who were the people in the van, and when was Duce snatched up to begin with? So confused about this one, honestly, and am anxious to learn more. [Stars - 3 out of 5] Elisha vs. The Shadow Firstly, I love the gimmick to this match. So creative! The Shadow and Elisha both look so strong here - so legendary, in their own respective ways - and their story literally plays on throughout this much, with every vicious blow. This wasn't a wrestling match, this was a fight; and this motherfucker went knights of the roundtable at more than one point. Very, very well written and as it stated, one of those matches that mostly everyone in CWF will remember for a long time. [Stars - 5 out of 5] The Key to the Truth I like where this is going, with Rish now on a journey to find his son - which apparently the first clues are in Tokyo? The only thing that I am going to nitpick about is what he says to the attendant at the airport. Realistically, do you think Rish is going to be given access to a seat on an airplane after saying that the world may be in danger? Perhaps, after a psychological exam and background check. i am a stickler for bridging the gap between fantasy and reality all day long, but some things are hard to see past. Again, that nitpick aside, I am VERY excited to see what happens next. [Stars - 4 out of 5] THE MAIN EVENT This was a MONSTER of a match and most definitely came close to overtaking King/Solstice as MOTN for me. All four men were strong here - so many great moves, high flying, technical onslaughts - it was anybody's game here. I had my money on MJ Flair, based upon Pete's roleplay, but the roleplay production value was at the top of the charts across the board for this one. The writers took it seriously and creative paid them off. The writing was very, very well done and what a great way to call it a night, with none other than Mora coming in to lay waste to Flair, obviously setting up a massive feud here too. GREAT show! I loved watching what I COULD live, granted it wasn't much. The Slack idea is still wonderful, but a Sunday evening time slot wouild likely work better for me. Being that we do have international participants, we need to make sure the slot works across the board. A Sunday afternoon slot seemed to be most favorable, which is fine. At the end of the day, I can always read the show once it posts - which is exactly what I did, while in the process of writing this review. CWF has evolved, man, to likely its greatest heighs. What a great team we have here - roster-wise and creative-wise. All of you give yourselves a pat on the back. Most importantly, thank you Rish. You're bringing the fucking heat this go around, buddy.

The Ritten House I wrote this one, but not alone. I had the wonderful, the mysterious Jonty Mcjonty-erson help me out with the psychic and tarot card bits. Seeing the reaction of this segment so far, I would say it was a great idea for me to hold this segment back from last week and make it the Confliction opening segment. I'm glad you all enjoyed seeing the emotional wreck of a man J. Rish has become, and see him become more and more focused as this segment (and the next) goes on to find "the light" and his son, Jaiden. Interview with Tyler Anderson Not going to lie, this one took the intensity down a little bit after such a hot opener (if I do say so myself, lol). Firstly, Tyler Anderson wasn't even the Anderson brother booked for this PPV so I would say that having Billy in a segment would've made more sense, and secondly how unsure Anderson seemed to be about himself and his next feud didn't really sit well with me. I do think this segment was somewhat saved by the attack from Mia Rayne at the end, which Alex and I decided to add to this one to give it a little more "umph". Opening Fatal Fourway Match Your usual opening bout for a pay per view. Not the longest of the night by any means, but that is exactly what I would expect for a match that IMO had a pretty clear winner, and being the first match of the night we really weren't looking for a long affair anyway. The ending sequence with Billy/Ortiz/Chris into the Crazy Bitch was definitely the highlight of this match. A STARR Shines Brightly Tonight First we get a very "sure of himself" Christian Starr, cocky as ever as he talks about how everyone is going on about the main event or the other matches when the first star will be him vs. Jay Mora for the Paramount championship. I do have to agree with what was said by someone earlier that this segment felt a touch long, I think either the promo/trash talk on Mora should have been shortened or possibly split up from the Eli Silver/Payne segment. Either way I like the interaction at the end, the big, bad Payne seems like a scary dude that I wouldn't want to mess with, and makes for a nice personality split from the cocky Starr. Azrael vs. Mia Rayne Unfortunately because of the no show, this match's outcome was already known by everyone going in, but I would still say it was a pretty enjoyable first one-on-one match of the night. The universal commentary teams once again are very impressive, add a touch of realism to the show that I think everyone enjoys. Good commentary lines in this one as well as lines like "She seems mere moments away from cinching in the submission maneuver when Azrael summons a sudden surge of strength and throws his opponent up and over his shoulders, to the ring mat." I don't know, little touches on detail like this really get me into the match. Good job. Make-A-Wish The first of many of my segments of the night. First we see a very heroic Dorian Hawkhurst about to meet some Make-A-Wish kids, surprised that they would want to meet him after just being in CWF over a month, but very happy to do so. And then we see that the kids are actually bag-headed freaks summoned by obviously Ataxia himself? Jesus, gotta love the mind games here. This feud has already been absolutely top notch, and segments like this one are exactly why. Quality stuff. Coalition vs. Stranger Danger Pretty good tag team match here, even if it was slightly one sided towards the winners. I like the little "Tag her in. Tag her in!" chant from the crowd chanting for Silas to tag Autumn in, little chants like that make it seem like the crowd is alive and into the match and brings a sense of realism to it in the process. Unfortunately for Harvey Danger he got injured at the end of the match, and unfortunately for all the rest of us it is because the handler needs to take a little more time off than he originally intended. Can't wait to have you back, we're all gonna miss Harvey around here! A Bold Entrance Somewhat of a continuation on the STARR segment earlier. First we get DC pushing Tara out of the way because he wants to be interviewed by his own Cali Sawyer, and then the stare-off/handshake between DC/Cali and Starr/Payne. Nice little segment, definitely got me interested in the characters right off the get go, and I'm excited to see where things go from here between all involved. Commercials These were such a great idea to add to the pay per views! When Alex brought up the idea that we should add comical commercials to the PPVs as another added "extra touch", I immediately jumped for joy at the prospect. I think the Jalapeno Shot one was probably my favorite, but really all of them either brought a smile or an outright chuckle. Great addition. Jay Mora vs. Christian Starr: Paramount Title Match First five-star match of the night, pun intended. Both of these two men are on absolute tear right now, first we have the challenger Starr who was coming into this match undefeated and despite being in the fed less than a month, on a tremendous hot streak. Then we have the champion (or former, now) Marksman who despite having a somewhat rocky start to his CWF career has had one hell of a resurgence since winning the Paramount Title and successfully defending it time and again. This match had great RPs from both men, very close call, and Duce wrote a match befitting of how great their writing was. The already mentioned double Superkick spot, the Springboard Forearm, the suicide dive into a Marked Superkick...holy fuck this one had so many good spots I could name them all day long. Great. To The Slaughter So Jace Valentine is being completely transformed into Chaolin Sahn at this point. The bloodthirsty and sadistic side of Jace Valentine is one that we have yet to see in all of the years of the character, definitely something fresh and new. The murdering of the animals may have been a little much to some, but when you consider just how much of a psychopath Sahn is, it really makes sense in this setting. The only thing I am somewhat disappointed in is that I didn't know enough about these two segments happening before I wrote the main event, because I was only able to make a few small edits to make Jace seem "evil" in the main event. I wish we could have connected the segments/match a little better as far as Jace's mannerisms. Despite that, which is partly or mostly my fault I suppose, great segment here! Something The World Has Never Seen First off the first short two-word sentences really get you into the scene. Less is more for sure, at least in this instance. This was a tremendous continuation segment on what we have already seen from Nerezza as far as the two "vocal pieces" (not sure what else to call them?) and the rp against Big Sexay himself. Very impressed with the dialogue here, and I feel that we are already quickly becoming familiar with just what kind of monster this Nerezza is about to be. I fear anyone standing in the Beast's way. Big Sexay vs. Nerezza Speaking of a man standing in Nerezza's way, I guess the first one is Hall of Famer and former World champion Big Sexay. Joe had his little OOC rant on Sexay and the situation leading into this match, and I won't deny that anything he said was untrue. I am a little disappointed in how this situation turned out because I always get excited when I can bring in a legend from the past for even a few appearances, but meh, we turned a negative into a positive as far as I'm concerned. Harley Hodge morphing into Nerezza befitted a match where he could dominate his first opponent, and while Sexay did have some offense in this match, we saw Nerezza not only winning but carrying Sexay to the back in the end. Alex did a good, if not great, job with what he had here. The Anthem of Champions Love the little tune at the beginning here, something I could see myself singing and laughing to myself as I do lol. I love how Sam Braxton is embarassed that Dean heard him singing, and then gets upset at his friend when he seems unsure whether or not they have what it takes to win the Tag Team Titles. These Lost Boys segments are 99% so fucking quality as far as I'm concerned, because each and every time we get to see a new piece of the puzzle. New characteristics from both Sam and Dean. The writing is always there, the descriptions are beyond quality. This is My Night Another one of my favorite segments of the night. I will be honest that I had chatted with Jay Mora a little bit before the PPV went live on Slack, because he told me that win or lose in his match with Starr he wanted to make a big impact on this PPV. So he asked me to know whether or not he was going to win his match with Starr to be able to write the best post-match promo possible. Sometimes I'm apprehensive giving a handler spoilers, but in this case I'm very happy that I did. This segment was absolutely intense, the flipping of the tables and the screaming the word "FUCK" had me right off the freaking bat. Then Tara asks for an interview and he clearly does not want to give one, but when we get to the end with him saying the night's not over for him and he's going to make it HIS night? Solid gold. Bright Young Things vs. Lost Boys- Tag Team Title Match I'm sure everyone wondered what was going to happen with this match after the Battle at the Academy rps from Cali/Eris/Jace/Amber. When we have Silas coming out saying that BYT aren't going to make it and are vacating the titles, immediately that's going to make the crowd angry, right? But such a great little promo from Silas, we get the clear heel Silas we've all grown to love by this point. And then we get the surprise of the Entourage coming back!? Wow! Great usage of moves from Colton Mace & Mark Carlton's past, intense back and forth action, and definitely a close call as far as judging is concerned. In the end we have new champs (which I guess we would have either way?) and a much deserved win for the Lost Boys. Give Me What I Want...Or Else Is it just me or after Ataxia starts out this segment saying "Helllooo, Frand!!" did I want to see Sunset saying "HI BUDDY!!". I don't know, I just think that would have been hilarious, lol. Instead we get Sunset not really in the mood for Ataxia's games, which I guess is really the more realistic approach Good little segment to lead into the Impact Title Match being switched to Falls Count Anywhere No DQ.Beware the Acts of A Desperate Man This segment was another that gave me a little laugh. MJF taking the money and "running" before the man even knows whether or not she's going to throw the main event was an absolute classic moment in time and quality character development all in one. Definitely enjoyed the back and forth dialogue, and it makes you even more excited about tonight's main event! Dorian Hawkhurst vs. Ataxia- Impact Title Match We have already seen two new champions at this point, will Ataxia make it number three? As you all read no, but one hell of a try for the Messiah Pariah! Really, my god, some of the sickest fucking spots I have ever "seen" in a wrestling match. This is one of those matches that you really wish you could see in real life (Elisha vs. Shadow later would be another), as the descriptions in this one really brought to life one hell of a story. So much blood, sweat and tears spent as these two took it all through and outside the arena. First of all, these two handlers have had one of the best and most creative feuds in the last 6 months since CWF's return. Secondly, I think (or at least hope) that this one is far from over. Wow. Ready For Battle Very interesting thing to see each of the Shadow's druids really come to life here. No longer are they just a "name" and a "face", but we get to see even the slightest of characterisms for each of them. The fact that all twelve druids didn't even show the slightest of backing down shows just how loyal they are to Shadow and the cause, and that is very important when coming into such a monumental clash with one of the most dastardly characters in CWF history. Amazing writing here as always from Shadow. Ready for a barnburner of a match now! The Tormented Soul I want to say with this segment that the underlying theme is that the transformation is complete. The "This is My Dark Place" and some of the other dialogue definitely gives you the Chaolin Sahn vibe, and I also loved the following line: "Jace skitters across the floor like a spider, tracking the blood of the vermin with every step." When Ryan Sunset comes into the picture we see Jace seem to calm down a bit, but there is still this new side of him that is just about to absolutely wreck havoc on the roster. Can this new Valentine remain champ? Because if not, I fear for the roster as he gets his revenge on each of you... Ian King vs. Solstice Another one of the five-star, very well written matches that all of our fans come to expect at this point from a writer like John Dulong/Jarvis King. I loved the fact that we see Solstice starting out using more of Jarvis' moveset and then switching to more Shane Donovan-esque offense. The descriptions really though is what made this match so memorable. Every word you read was so entrancing, described so attractively that you wanted to read it over and over again. The ending where Solstice unmasks to reveal surprisingly not one of Jarvis King's CWF feuds but one of his old allies in Shane Donovan (from NLW/OCW fame amongst other feds) definitely shocked some people, and I am so glad to have Matt a part of the fold here in CWF as I have been trying to get him here for months. Even if this feud continues and then this is it for either or both men, incredibly quality feud and match here, and I can't wait to see the Jarvis vs. Shane (actual rp) match now. Pregame Meeting Nice little segment here. As was touched on by Alex earlier we messed up the order of the two Duce Jones' segments because in the second one he is entering the arena, but other than that small flub up, I think the interactions between Styles and Jones was interesting and very effective here. They're looking to stick with their gameplan of taking out Valentine first, then battling it out second. While that may not work out as well as they hope later on, both men seem bound and determined to stick with it. I like the writing here, nice job. Amber Ryan vs. Alex Cain I wrote this match and I will be honest and say that I wish I could have done a little bit more with it, but I think that a quick one-sided match where one of the competitors finds and works on an injury until the very end is really rarely done these days in eW so I felt like it worked. That would be my response to why this match was placed so late on the card, kind of a "breather" match in between all the big guns. Amber got the well deserved win, hopefully Cain's arm injury isn't too bad that we'll eventually see the Big Man lace up a pair of boots again! Nothing I Can't Handle The second (or first?) of the two Duce Jones segments. Duce being thrown out of the black van was very interesting right from the get go (and the plush Pandy doll had me laughing lol), and making Franklin a road agent for CWF now was also an added plus from me ![]() Elisha vs. The Shadow: Moon and Shadow Match As I have already told Alex through facebook, this was the most creative match I have ever read and could very well be the greatest match in the entire 18+ year history of Championship Wrestling Federation. I'm not lying or blowing steam when I say that either, I really think (and believe many others do too) that this match was just so fucking awesome. I mean it starts out in a dark forest where you have to light seven torches in a shape of a Heptagram. How cool is that right away? And then we have the interactions of the Chosen and the Druids, the weapons gotten back and forth from the Armoury (which got more sick and methodical with each and every one!), and by god, the just emotional brutality from Elisha and the Shadow towards each other. Another one of the most intelligent and creative feuds in the last 6 months since our return, and what I believe is the "crowning achievement" win for the Shadow so far. Well deserved win after a very close RP match, unbelievably written match. Pretty sure this one goes in the record books. Like, at the top of it. The Key To The Truth The continuation of the Ritten House segment that started off Confliction. I first want to touch on a comment made by Joe about Rish not being let on the plane after making the "the world is in danger" comments. Very good point, and something that never even occurred to me when I was writing this one or even presenting to you all. I just wanted to put in those types of comments to give it that ominous, "Oh god what is going to happen next?" kind of feelings, but you're right that any intelligent airport would not let a passenger with that type of mentality onto their planes. Nonetheless, I hope despite that one little unrealistic bit, that this segment hit home and you all enjoyed it! Rish is onto Toyko, Japan to find Jaiden, and a little birdie told me that the upcoming Unhinged PPV is taking place IN Tokyo? Uh oh. Fatal Fourway World Title Match I hope a match befitting such an absolutely insanely tight and quality RP matchup from Ron, Chris, Pete and John. I will admit that I was not immediately clear on the winner of this match because of how well all four of you did, and really had to re-read RPs and judge things as carefully as I could for the decision. As far as the match itself is concerned, going into it I spent days at work or at home daydreaming about spots that I thought would really pop out to the reader, one of them of course being the mighty Tower of Death through the table. I hope that each of you four felt like you got enough spots in this matchup because I really tried to give each of you a little bit of showcase. This one was an absolute blast to write from the start to the finish, and a BIG congratulations goes out to Pete for MJF becoming our brand new World Heavyweight Champion. You go girl.

When I look back at when I started four months ago and then at this PPV, the differences are nothing short of amazing. The quality of everything has improved so much, the story lines, the characters, the roleplaying, the match writing, heck, even the reviewing, haha. I know that it is a lot more work to give a detailed review, but with so many people actively involved in putting a show together now through segments and stories and all of that, it makes SO much easier to see, if what we are doing is the right way or if we have to make adjustments to make it the ultimate experience. |

The Ritten House Little awkward first paragraph - overuse of "After." Better might've been "After fifty years of disappointment, the Eagles' football team winning the Super Bowl has brought life to the city..." etc. Also, "crazier fans" climbing poles like "crazed apes" - too much crazy. It continues through the seg - be careful about using the same word multiple times in a row. Also, I get Rish being skeptical about the old woman "waiting for him," but she knew his name. No response? At least he was taking her advice, sort of, by the end of it. We'll see where it goes. Interview with Tyler Anderson This one, to be honest, hurts my head. "Is there anyone you'd like to feud with?" This is a question you ask a handler, based on who they may enjoy working with for a time. A wrestler as part of a wrestling company, with kayfabe in mind, should never want to 'feud' with anyone else. A feud is a distraction from their attempts to climb the ranks and win a title. Realism took a vacation on this segment. Thankfully, Mia Rayne beat the crap out of Tyler to call it a day. Ortiz vs Chris vs Supp vs Billy Quick and dirty. Makes sense based on the RP and the card placement. Good on Chris for the win. A STARR shines brightly tonight Nice look at the incredibly egotistical Paramount challenger and his... entourage. Also enjoyed the subtle cheap heat of the kneepads and kickpads. Azrael vs Mia Rayne We recognize the spanish announce team... which means their table is probaby gonna go bye bye. Or the French. But they're there for Metrosupp so not until then, at least. Hard fought match, and a good win by Azrael. Mia should be able to come off this nice and easy, though... long as we get a good showing on the next card. Make-A-Wish Children are always creepy. The Coalition vs. Harvey and Friends Quick and brutal. I am a huge fan of all things Harvey, therefore I am, strictly speaking, not a fan of the finish but I think the Coalition earned it, and I actually think the Lost Soul is likely going to be looking more closely at his partnership with Marie Danger's Baby Boy. A Bold Entrance "DC and Cali Sawyer" make it sound like his name is "DC Sawyer." Also, poor Tara Robinson still gets no respect. One of these days she's gonna cut a bitch. And DC Sawyer is friends with Christian Starr... what a twist! Not really. But it has a bit of an ominous tone to it, what sort of 'impact' will DC make tonight? Marksman vs STARMAN First title match of the night, and it's a good one. Little surprising that Mora doesn't have the hometown fans behind him, but I guess he's a strict heel on that front. Cool, you don't see that too much anymore, and their gradual 'getting behind him' thing built organically. Really well written back and forth, complete with near countout before the finish. Loved Rolash the worm trying to change his vote at the last minute. Congrats to the new Paramount Champion. To the Slaughter Odd to name drop Sam Braxton at the onset; he had not appeared so far in the show. Regardless, this is a different Jace. A desperate Jace. A stabby Jace. Hopefully the Computer Graphics Intern was on the spot with all the animals, or PETA is gonna be up the CWF's ass before long. Unfortunately, this shift in philosophy, directly/indirectly influinced by Sahn, underscores the idea that this was not Jace's title reign; he was a pawn. Poorly timed (or is it? FORESHADOWING) and the animal slaughter was a little too extra. Probably could've made the point just as well without the deaths. Full disclosure: I know precious little about Chaolin Sahn, so this might all make perfect sense in context. Something the World has Never Seen It certainly is. Harley Hodge vs Big Sexay Or not. Brutal debut from Nerezza... he's gonna be a problem. The Anthem of Champions Entertaining back and forth. If they don't win the titles, Sam has a career in music. This Is My Night Well, apparently not, Marksman. Again, no respect for Tara. She's coming to work with a gun next time out. And not to pick on Mora but when he calls himself "the most dominant Paramount Champion" to date - he's been the only one so he's also the worst one, to date - the only one to ever lose the title. But he's clearly angry and not thinking clearly, and he's looking to make a mark later tonight. That won't come back to haunt anyone, now will it? The Bright Young Things vs The Lost Boys Well, that's different. Talk about a screwball, and a way to re-debut with impact. Good on the Lost Boys for taking it home. Give Me What I Want... Or Else Strange how Ataxia is trying to school Sunset on how to play mind games when he's literally been doing that for the entire time I've been in the CWF. But it got Ataxia what he wanted, so there's that. A Desperate Man Spoiler alert - I stole this idea from a Henry Rollins bit. He was talking about how some eighteen year old kid was asking for spare change on the street, and he had nothing to do at all but lecture him on the value of work, so he said, as he pulled his wad of bills out of his pocket, "You want this money? You can have it... if you can take it from me. C'mon, you're the young, I'm the old, I want you to mug me." The kid did not mug ol' Hank Rollins. Ataxia vs Dorian Hawkhurst "I don't wanna know the safety word" - I'm a little scared that Rolash went there, but a little relieved that he said "Safety word" instead of "safeword." Rolash in a gimp mask is an idea I'm not ready for. This wasn't wrestling, though - this was a straight up brawl that we hadn't seen so far on this show, and it was the perfect time for it. Chicago is cold, though. A stiff drink could've helped. Muahahahahah. Good on Hawkhurst for the win, and the 'inching towards a drink' thing was a nice touch, with Ataxia's plan almost winning. Someday it's gonna have to. Ready for Battle Roll call for the druids. The Shadow is ready. The Tormented Soul Round Two with Jace Sahn. Implies a greater mission behind Jace Valentine's efforts, but he's clearly lost his mind and must be put down like Old Yeller. Ian King vs Solstice Third time's the charm, we hope, from Tara Robinson? I'm glad Ian was polite to her. Long entrances, too - I think these entrances were longer than the first few matches. I liked how this followed the last - escalating the violence with the unsanctioned match. Honestly, this was the match of the night to this point - you could feel the anger between the two. Pregame Meeting Why the shit wasn't MJ invited? Good on Freddie and Duce, though - I think they could take the tag team belts while planning for their next World Title shots. Amber Ryan vs Alex Cain Glad to see the mention of Amber being held captive by the Institute for several weeks - that definitely leaves a mark. She was all over it, though - and got the quick win. Booking logic, it would make sense to give a short and brutal match after the last two, and it gets Amber Ryan back in the black. Does its job very well. Nothing I Can't Handle Interesting. Flashback to "Pregame meeting" - that segment mentioned the "Po Plush" doll seen earlier - but at the time it hadn't been seen earlier. Still, let's hope Duce is ready for battle. The Childlike Empress vs The Shadow Knows MARCUS LIVES! He is in such a bad state every show I always have to wonder. Interesting match rules. Seems more like an obstacle course than a wrestling match, but that's just me. Relatively quick victory (especially after Elisha/Ryan) for The Shadow... is this why the Institute has been aggressively recruiting/brainwashing Jace Valentine - because the Moonchild is losing his lustre? It's possible. Also, poor Marcus again... you never want to see druids doing anything, let alone helping you to your feet. The Key to the Truth Tokyo is also the location of the next PPV. At least Rish isn't on his way to Okinawa to get a sword, because he has vermin to kill. That's a completely different show. The Main Event. Talking too much about this match would be way too self serving so I'll just say that it was incredibly well written and that my three opponents brought it like nobody's business and I was honored to face off against them. The final moments with Marksman were a bit telegraphed earlier in the night, but because of our special relationship, I'd not be surprised if I was the only one who caught it. Amazing show all around, we all kicked massive ass with it. |

Overall Rating (1-10, 10=best, 1=Worst): Best Match: I thoroughly enjoyed my match but i hate when people say their own so I'll go with the main event being best. Best Commentary Line:Mike Rolash: So ah…since both competitors have now kissed the same turnpad, does that mean by degrees of separation they have kissed each other? Jim Gunt: …Does your train of thought EVER have a caboose? Best Segment: i enjoyed something the world has never seen Honorable Mention: Starr did a great job with his segment as well Best Surprise: I'm not sure if there were any complete surprises. I guess the world championship changing hands is a surprise Best Feud/Storyline: Hawkhurst/ataxia has been quite entertaining MVP of the Week: Starr Ending Thoughts/Predictions for the next show: It only gets better from here on out. Shoutout to Duce though for my match. I think you have written most if not all of mine in my time here and they are phenomenal each time. |

Overall Rating (1-10, 10=best, 1=Worst): 9 This was a solid pay per view, a lot of great action took place. And you have to tip your hat off to everyone involved with it. There were a few moments when the commentary didn't match up. For example, Gunt and Rolash discussing Ataxia getting his match rules changed before the actual segment happened. I know it's tedious reading the shows over and over, but try to keep a heads up on these types of things. Best Match: The Shadow vs Elisha This was one of the more creative matches I've read in a long time. First off, it takes place in a forest. You have the Chosen and the druids involved, an armory full of devastating weapons, “Big” Denny Davidson returning. Just a lot of elements were factored into this match. I commend you Alex for the brutal match you wrote. It was a fun read. Best Commentary Line: There was really to many lines to choose from, but Mike Rolash is commentary gold. Best Segment: This Is My Night I feel this was a great segment to showcase the anger within Jay Mora. The intensity, the foreshadowing of things to come later on tonight. Honorable Mention: The Ritten House/The Key To The Truth This storyline has kept me intrigued, from PPV to PPV. How will it all boil down, what does the key go to? Why does Tokyo hold so much significance? Whatever happened to the passengers on the plane, is Jaiden still alive? Guess we're gonna have to wait till Unhinged to find out. Best Surprise: For me it was the return of The Entourage. When I was told what was going on in the tag team title match, I got a bit excited. So I did a bit of research to make the match enjoyable. I'm glad people enjoyed it. Another surprise was the animal sacrifices. I thought Jace couldn't push the limit any further, well he proved me wrong. Best Feud/Storyline: Dorian Hawkhurst vs Ataxia These two have had a very interesting feud so far. There's never a dull moment when these two are involved. From stocks of liquor, to crucifying security, children with bags over their faces, fighting in a bar. Ataxia is really trying to take Dorian to his breaking point, the question now is whether Dorian is gonna crack. MVP of the Week: The Shadow I have to give it to this guy, he's been a prolific figure on the CWF scene for awhile now. And to be honest he's come a long way, besides getting a victory over the monster Elisha has to count for something. Ending Thoughts/Predictions for the next show: Every month the PPV gets better and better. The crop of talent coming in is gonna make for some intriguing storylines. Plus the qualifying matches for the Unhinged Briefcase are about to start, so that's exciting. Just can't wait to see what's going to happen on the road there. P.S. - I just wanted to thank everyone who enjoyed the matches I wrote for the show, they are greatly appreciated. And moving forward I hope I'm able to produce more classics for you guys. |
