Favorite overall character:

The night started off with a bang, as we saw Matthew Carter and 415 take each other to the limit. Both men gave it their all, but Carter came up the victor. Will 415 look for revenge? Or move past this? We also saw Harvey Clayton defeat Alex Falcon forcing him to return. What will we see from Alex Falcon now that he is back? Will he be going after Clayton?

Somewhat similar to the Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match that forced Alex's return, we also saw a Tables match later in the night. Michael de' Archangel and Trent Sickness fought tooth and nail, only for Sickness to prevail. Will this be the end of things for these two?

In addition, it appears none other than former World Champion Xplode has returned. The man having been arrested and barely heard of since then has finally shown back up in EUW. How long will it take for him to make his focus clear? Will he have unfinished business to deal with or will the World championship become his immediate focus?

In the first championship installment of the night, we saw Jack Bull and Diabolik take each other on in a match truly living up to the championship they fought for. In the end, we saw a new champion crowned. With a target placed square on his back now, how will Diabolik do as champion? Who might be after him first?

In a stark contrast, Brett Cross and Chance Fusion went at it for the Pure Championship. With the Pure Rules in play, they showed their wrestling skills with an epic contest. In the end, it seemed to deteriorate into the basic fighting instincts of both though, with a new champion crowned as Chance Fusion finally toppled Brett Cross. Will "The Norse Hammer" be right back after his championship? Or will "The Lion" have a new legend to tackle?

As they always do, things culminated in the Main Event with the World Heavyweight Championship on the line. This triple threat contest saw two yet to be World Champions take on veteran Lincoln Daggerson. All three fought hard, with epic moments likely to be remember for ages to come. In the end though, our current champion stood tall once again. Will Evan or Vincent now put their focus on going after Lincoln Daggerson alone? Or will a new challenger emerge? Or perhaps, an old one?

I thought it was a very good pay per view. It had some very high spots as well as a few low ones.

Favorite Match:

415 versus Matt. (Great stuff guys and both of your rp's this week were amazing.)

Favorite Face:

Bret Cross, James Vincent and 415

Favorite Heel:

Xplode.

Favorite overall character:

Well, it is tough to call this one. Chance had a great night. He stood up to the Viking and brought home the Pure title. So he gets a mention, easily. Lincoln defended his title as well. Both of his opponents pulled out all the stops and I would imagine the voting was very close. So he gets a mention as well. Lastly, I will mention Xplode. Great promo.. it injected life into the pay per view and elevated it like only he can. That his his gift. So props to all 3.

Ok.. since Clayton won, Alex HAS to return? Isn't it usually the other way around? Either way, this storyline confused me and so I lost interest. As for 415, there is no shame in his loss. I say he is more determined than ever now after his performance. Matt was great, as I said, and he is rolling now!

Somewhat similar to the Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match that forced Alex's return, we also saw a Tables match later in the night. Michael de' Archangel and Trent Sickness fought tooth and nail, only for Sickness to prevail. Will this be the end of things for these two?

I am guessing this is the end of it.

In addition, it appears none other than former World Champion Xplode has returned. The man having been arrested and barely heard of since then has finally shown back up in EUW. How long will it take for him to make his focus clear? Will he have unfinished business to deal with or will the World championship become his immediate focus?

Well, one thing is for certain. The EUW was more of a quiet, almost too quiet place with his absence. When Xplode is in the ring, things are always more interesting in the EUW. So I am glad he is back. As for his motives... it is hard to not assume that he will want a rematch for the world title. When Lincoln and Xplode had that feud.. oh my god... it was amazing and quite possibly one of the all time best feuds in EUW history. I loved it. He is the villain you love to hate. One of the best in EUW history has returned to the ring.

In the first championship installment of the night, we saw Jack Bull and Diabolik take each other on in a match truly living up to the championship they fought for. In the end, we saw a new champion crowned. With a target placed square on his back now, how will Diabolik do as champion? Who might be after him first?

Congrats Diabolik! You did good, buddy! I am so happy for you as I know how much this means to you. I am sure the line up will be long as far as challengers to his throne.

In a stark contrast, Brett Cross and Chance Fusion went at it for the Pure Championship. With the Pure Rules in play, they showed their wrestling skills with an epic contest.

Sadly, Brett seems to be out of action. So Chance will get to carry the mantle as Pure Champion but it won't be uncontested however. Looking at the list of challengers and it is easy to see that his work is cut out for him. And on another note...: I loved both of their roleplays last week. Both were amazing. Chance is starting to become a fixture in the roster and I am happy about that. I do hope for Brett to rebound quickly too... I love his character! His Pure title reign was memorable and dominating.

As they always do, things culminated in the Main Event with the World Heavyweight Championship on the line. This triple threat contest saw two yet to be World Champions take on veteran Lincoln Daggerson. All three fought hard, with epic moments likely to be remember for ages to come.

Hmm, while I do not think Evan or James will just give up and walk away, I think the EUW as a whole just saw Lincoln Daggerson at his very best. He showed what the standard is as far as excellence. Right now... if you wish to know who the best is in the EUW.... look no further than Lincoln. If I was to take a guess, I would say that Evan and James have a few things to work out amongst themselves... Their feud was still not finished. There is potential for huge performances there. As for Lincoln's next challenger.... take it from me... the greatest threats are the hardest to ever see coming.





(Ok, I really wrote alot didn't I? Sorry, I just enjoyed the show as well as the rp's prior. As I said, I felt the event was hit or miss. One of the matches was way too short for a pay per view. Others were epic! The Xplode promo evened it out though. Quality show indeed.)
