Alright, feedback time. I apologize ahead if I carried the matches on too long. I wrote them all myself, so after awhile I went into zombie mode. It was 4 AM after all..
Anyway, feedback would be nice.
Best Face?
Best Heel?
Best Match?
Over all opinion of the show?
The Pure tourney will be completed at Prestige. With all 4 competitors really letting it all out.. how do YOU think it will turn out?
Titan and Valdez are set to do war! Both big men have literally been tearing into one another! What do you think about this feud?
Luck and Cross went the distance! In a match that showcased both of their strengths, neither man could gain the upperhand for long. Thoughts?
Connolly overcame the odds this week and defeated three other men to gain the victory. Thoughts?
Stephens and Black have really begun to dig deep into one another. They are on a one way course to settle it once and for all at Prestige. Thoughts?
Sabora came out in usual style and got the job done. 415 found himself watching as the champion tapped out his partner. How will 415 respond?
Chuck Johnson? The Scorpion? Both men really stole the spotlight without even an effort! Thoughts?
Lastly, Kennedy seems poised to pick a new GM. We already have seen that Xplode wants in. Who is the mystery applicant?
*give me some feedback.. and I will give you the next card.

Best Face: The Sabora turn is really being handled well. I may not have the whole story of the angle since I'm new, but when he shook hands with Stephens it reminded me of when Randy Savage first turned face and shook hands with Hulk Hogan. Really well written.
Best Heel: I would give this to Eddie Laurel. The match was written almost in reverse (with Eddie seeming like a face and Bull a heel). However, presuming that I'm not missing something, I loved how the end result was Bull flipping him off. The pain of losing out on the Pure Title driving him to do something completely unsportsmanlike, also showing a strong disdain for Laurel. Once again, well written.
Best Match: Easily the main event. Very well done putting over the gradual alliance building between Stephens and Sabora. Good ending too. Not much I can say really, another very well written piece of work.
Overall opinion: As the first full EUW show that I've read, I must say it was very well done. Excellent writing, coherent storylines, and a good layout. If all EUW shows are like that, then this is one incredible place.
Pure Tournament: I see Laurel being taken out by a vindictive Jack Bull, so I doubt he's winning the match. I actually think Mr. Luck takes it. The idea of him fighting through the pain and not tapping because of his desire to be the Pure Champion is wonderful, time honored angle. I actually find myself wanting to see it paid off with a win.
Titan vs. Valdez: Admittedly I only have this week to go by, but I really enjoyed the Titan beatdown of Valdez. It provides a strong character motivation for Valdez to get his revenge.
Luck vs. Cross: I absolutely loved this match. The only reason I didn't put it over the main event for best on the show was the strong storytelling in the Sabora angle. It really puts over the Pure Title as a big deal that these two are willing to give everything there is to give just to advance to the finals. Hats off to both guys and the match writer.
Four-Way: I liked the structure of the match and the multiple saves that occurred. I also really liked the fact that Connolly got the win on his own rather than simply winning due to the Titan beatdown of Valdez. It puts over Connolly as a guy that can come through in a bind.
Stephens vs. Black: Solidly built feud with a good use of segments. I am a bit confused as to one thing though. The applications list Stephens as a heel and Black as a face, yet Black gets booed during the match, Stephens gets booed during his entrance, but also gets cheered for the alliance with Sabora, who himself is heel? I was just confused by the whole thing. I'm sure there's some angle to explain everything, but as a new guy coming in the whole deal is very unclear.
Sabora vs. 415: 415 had better respond with all he has if he wants to be the champion. The cornerstone of good booking is a strong champion and a motivated challenger. 415 doesn't like losing? Then do the job himself and do not rely on a partner.
New guys: Since my own character is involved in this question, I will refrain from answering
GM Angle: Being new I don't really know, so I unfortunately can't comment.
It should be noted that I usually analyze shows from a booking and fan perspective rather than a writing one. I know that rp writing determines wins and losses, but I feel it does more to look at the show as if I was a fan watching on tv or in the arena.
Overall show grade: A

Great review! Thank you! Yes, the Stephens storyline concerning his face/ hell status is confusing. I am hoping it makes sense in time. As for Sabora, he has that Stone Cold Stigma where he is so bad... you love him. Anyone else? Come on!  |

It was lengthy, but the layout and spacing has me hardly noticing it. The promos were fantastic, with everyone getting a chance to shine, and the matches are becoming a little more readable with the new format of them. I like how the shows have definite over-arching storylines present, similar to what Lincoln was trying to do when he ran things. It definitely makes the shows go above and beyond just a list of winners and losers.

Best Face?
I am also going to say Sabora for this one, though Stephens could make an interesting face as well. I like what you are doing in terms of a face turn with these two. Very good stuff.
Best Heel?
Is Jack turning Heel? Or was he just plain out pissed? Either way, the ending to his match was classic and I loved every bit of it.
Best Match?
Cross versus Luck was plain out epic. Very well done. The ending was also a great twist. Way to think out of the box there!
Over all opinion of the show?
I think you are doing a damn good job as usual this week. This show was clean, tight, and well put together. Great promos all around. Yes it was lengthy, but not in a bad way. I think you may have Warrior, Linc, and I beat when it comes to running this ship!
The Pure tourney will be completed at Prestige. With all 4 competitors really letting it all out.. how do YOU think it will turn out?
This storyline has been handled EXTREMELY well in my opinion. I am not sure if Rodrigo leaving was a bad thing or a good thing for the story as it ended up creating an interesting twist with Cross entering. I am looking forward to seeing who ends up with the strap when all is said and done.
Titan and Valdez are set to do war! Both big men have literally been tearing into one another! What do you think about this feud?
There is one thing you can not do once Titan sets his sights on something.. keep him from it. Valdez and Titan will clash... and the ground will shake... and neither man will ever be the same.
Luck and Cross went the distance! In a match that showcased both of their strengths, neither man could gain the upperhand for long. Thoughts?
As I said earlier, this match blew my mind. You know, looking at the result of it, I would have thought the same thing. Those two guys really let it all out this week. Very gutsy to go with the draw here.
Connolly overcame the odds this week and defeated three other men to gain the victory. Thoughts?
I liked how Connolly kept on task here. Even with Titan's intrusion, Connolly stayed focus.. and stayed the course. Great match.
Stephens and Black have really begun to dig deep into one another. They are on a one way course to settle it once and for all at Prestige. Thoughts?
It's too bad that Black no showed this week.
Sabora came out in usual style and got the job done. 415 found himself watching as the champion tapped out his partner. How will 415 respond?
Sabora is still blazing along, and 415 seems to be finding himself further and further from his goal. 415 needs to start picking it up, if he wants to not only win the title.. but the respect that comes along with it as well. Sabora is a hungry shark... and take it from me... put your guard down and he will eat you right up.
Chuck Johnson? The Scorpion? Both men really stole the spotlight without even an effort! Thoughts?
Okay, here is why I wanted to comment. The Scorpion is fucking great! I loved his promo this week. He will be one I am following for sure. CJ is also a great character. Fantastic job integrated him into the show as well. Both of these guys had some serious locker room presence this week.. you all better be prepared.
Lastly, Kennedy seems poised to pick a new GM. We already have seen that Xplode wants in. Who is the mystery applicant?
Xplode? As GM? Damn... the world is coming to an end.

Best Face?Sabora. Although I did love Jack Bulls own twist in how he was written as well. Best Heel?Titan. He's big, he's mean, he's violent, what's not to like?? Best Match?Luck/Cross and the Main Event were both very well-written matches. Hats off to the writers this week! Over all opinion of the show?As I said: Hats off to the writers this week! The show flowed well, everyones promos were simply phenomenal, and it felt like reading the summary of a real wrestling show. Enjoyed it a lot, top marks! The Pure tourney will be completed at Prestige. With all 4 competitors really letting it all out.. how do YOU think it will turn out?I'll bring the whooping, you guys bring the ass Seriously though, between Laurels upset and the Luck/Cross draw, it can go to any competitor. It's too tough to call at this moment. Titan and Valdez are set to do war! Both big men have literally been tearing into one another! What do you think about this feud?Let's see how it goes over the weeks, first. Needs something deeper other than two people battering the crap out of eachother (Although Titan even makes that look interesting) Luck and Cross went the distance! In a match that showcased both of their strengths, neither man could gain the upperhand for long. Thoughts?A draw against a writer the caliber of Tommeh is a victory in its own right. Connolly overcame the odds this week and defeated three other men to gain the victory. Thoughts?I'm watching every single newcomer arriving here. Every single one of them seems intent on winning and proving themselves. Connolly put in some awesome work this week, and I look forward to seeing him and the others next week. Stephens and Black have really begun to dig deep into one another. They are on a one way course to settle it once and for all at Prestige. Thoughts?Loving the feud. Classic and not overtly violent or relying on something ridiculous to further it. Both men are great writers too, so it should be really fun to see how the match at Prestige pans out. Sabora came out in usual style and got the job done. 415 found himself watching as the champion tapped out his partner. How will 415 respond?415 HAS to respond soon. Saboras on a roll and if 415 doesn't up the game, Saboras going to steamroll him at Prestige. 415 has got to pull off something to throw Sabora off his game.. Chuck Johnson? The Scorpion? Both men really stole the spotlight without even an effort! Thoughts?Chucks promo was very good. No gimmick to focus on, and instead some pure trash talk and badass attitude (Something which a lot of e-fed characters strangely lack) The Scorpions, however, was simply amazing. Awesome gimmick, brilliantly written promo, can't wait to see the guy in action! Lastly, Kennedy seems poised to pick a new GM. We already have seen that Xplode wants in. Who is the mystery applicant?My moneys on King Carter, since he's randomly been showing up more and more..
