Great show. The three title matches were awesome but I can't decide if the World title match was the best or if the Underground title match stole the show.

Agreed. 4.5/5. Would read again.
But I'm a sucker for Ladder Matches.
Whole show - 8.75/10. Great job to the match writers, contestants, and everyone involved.

Kudos to whoever wrote the Underground Match. I could tell that they were having a blast writing that match. The beauty of writing 'gimmick' matches is that you can pretty much go crazy with the use of weapons and the environment rather than referring to movesets every few minutes. I actually loved everything about the match.
The only criticism I have is the no-show of Razor Blade's mystery opponent, whoever it may have been, resulting in no match at all. In spite of Brittany no-showing, Crazy Boy still got a short match. But I do understand. Why put out so much effort for a no-show? If anything, I'd have liked to have seen a reveal, only to see a Razor Blade squash. You know you done f*cked up when you get squashed by Razor Blade. I'll give Razor credit, at least he shows consistently, so fair play.
But that small point above hardly detracts from the overall quality of the show.
Will be interesting to see what direction the newly branded 'Psycho Circus' is capable of. Could there be trouble brewing between Seromine and the freshly returned Gabriel? And the Icey Tournament is right around the corner! Trauma should be VERY interesting, even with a relatively smaller card.
All in all, Mass Destruction was definitely a great read. Kudos to the match writers and all who showed to RP.

There's a general reason that the first two matches were handled the way they were. Basically, Brittany has no showed twice in a row and has basically disappeared, so she was booked to be squashed. Razor's match was handled the way it was for two reasons. One, I didn't want to open the show with two straight squashes and, the way it was done, some future storylines came out of the situation. At least that was the attempt, I'm not sure if it came off correctly.
Thanks for the feedback guys.

Like I say, it really didn't take away from the overall feel of the show and I totally get the reasoning behind it. It was the only real thing that I could really see from a critical standpoint... and I was really nitpicking with that as well. |

Would rewatch on the soon to be award winning PCW Network for an undisclosed price.

It was a little strange for two no shows to be handled in different ways, I get that. |

I feel like once we got the necessary scrapped matches out of the way the show got so interesting. It was also a bummer that we lost Brenna again, but Seromine saved it with a very well done in ring promo that left me wondering where they go. Gabriel revolting against his Messiah, turning back into Rick Majors, or Gabriel being beaten into submission? It's interesting.
Big props to everyone who brought their A-game, especially in the title matches. It made working on them an exercise in matching quality.
I am interested in where the Psycho Circus goes now, with Alexa and her new female monster. Alexa is great at dark and gripping stuff.
Plus, High Tide and Wasp pulled out a quality win.
The main event writing had my heart in my throat the entire time, particularly when I saw turns that I had thought were going to be the end. Amazing job to Grimm for this cycle. He really set a mood.

RAZOR BLADE WON! How bout that? Somebody was so afraid of the BIG DOG, they decided to remain a mystery. Lol. Gerard Angelo: And just what in the Hell are you supposed to be? You look like I.C.P. banged a goat.... ^hahaha. One show in and he already has made enemies. But there is some sort of history there, so that's a good way to start. How nice of Brittany to no-show again. At least this time, Crazy Boy didn't. It did lead to a nice little confrontation with Razor, also a continuation from several Trauma's ago. Nice to see. Big win for The Sea Men. Then the violence came and helps set the tide...for a possible stable feud. Digging the Psycho Circus name. Plus the amazonian woman got her name! Grimm's segment was excellent. Guy just has a way with words. IIT announcement! Good luck to everyone who'll be involved  The ladder match lived up to the fantastic build to it and then some. Plenty of destruction on hand. Two competitors beating the hell out of each other with one nasty looking conclusion. Great job to both Dominator and Johnny Matthews! Stormm vs Tyler Scott was awesome. About as even of a match as could be. Had me invested the entire way. They battled so much outside, that the count mattered not and worked in the champ's favor. Could be some unfinished business there. Big win for Kyle Shane! Congrats on that. Nothing like exercising a ghost from the past. Grimm is one of the toughest to ever grace a PCW ring, so a win over him is an accomplishment. Achievement unlocked! Overall, a great PPV read that now takes things to TIIT. Onward to Trauma! |

A brand new web platform for our shows?! How exciting!
The no-shows have already been discussed, but as unfortunate as they are at least we’re at a point where I think it’s safe for PCW to cut those folks loose (thus, no more easy wins for anyone, anymore).
Nice encounter between Braddock and the giant mystery lady and Angelo to get a little somethin’ somethin’ building between them. Welcome to the fed, Gerard.
Solid win for High Tide and Wasp, but unfortunately for them they were the poor saps in the ring at the time when Psycho Circus decided to announce itself. Looks like PCW has itself a new stable to deal with.
Hooray for special announcements! Looking forward to seeing what the front office has planned for the IIT.
That ladder match was definitely a PPV-worthy Underground title defense. Good Lord. Let’s hope they recover.
I know no-decisions can be a drag, especially in title matches, and especially in pay per views, but that just goes to prove what Rick said in the Shout Box about the close scores this cycle. Strong work, guys, and if nothing else this can lead to some serious fightin’ and feudin’ between those two.
So, yeah, of course I would have preferred to see Grimm walk out with that World Championship again. I’m only human. BUT I want to give my thanks to anyone and everyone who had anything to do with putting that match together. It read as if either Grimm or Kyle could have won at any time, and neither of us had the true upper hand. That makes the loss easier to deal with. As does the fact that I know Kyle Shane is a darn good RP’er and deserves a respectable title reign. A tip of the hat to you, sir.
(P.S. – the whole “Grimm dislocating his own shoulder to get out of a hold, only to pop it back into place himself” bit? I love stuff like that. Extra props for contributing to the Grimm mythology. I really appreciate it.)
That was a really strong PPV. Well done, everybody.
