Results should be coming soon, so I thought I'd make this thread ahead of time for anyone who wants to chime in.
It's the final PPV of 2018. After this is the winter Icey's and then holiday break. So thank you to everyone for being here. I've enjoyed reading your work and putting some of your matches together. You guys really make PCW a special place to be. Take a bow, folks. You deserve it.

The show is up. We hope you enjoy it. A few things: 1) Read all of it if you can. There are a lot of segs and other little things that people submitted that make this show (in my opinion) a really good one. Thank you to everyone who submitted segs and strats and ideas for the show. That kind of stuff always makes the final product better. 2) I don't judge the roleplays, but the scores I received for this show were incredible. Not only have you guys been getting some excellent scores, but almost all of the matches were insanely close. I hope we reflected that in the results. Even the people who lost on the show had incredible roleplays, so don't feel discouraged if you didn't win your match, since there were razor thin margins in most cases. So thank you all for your excellent writing as well. 3) None of this would be possible without the creative team ( The Anarchist and Kyle Shane ). These two guys wrote almost every single match you've read this year, and there is no way this place would be open without them. 4) Our roster is smaller, but the effort and the ideas and the storylines that you guys continue to create have been consistently great, so thank you again. 5) The Icey Ballots will be up soon, likely tomorrow. 6) Happy Holidays |

Wow. Great show. Thank you to all of you guys who write the matches and put the shows together. In the short time I've been here I've never seen a show be half-assed which I thank you all for.

So I thought this might have been the best show of the year from what I've read.
Joe Handy vs Alexa Black: I thought it was a great fun match. It really showed off Alexa being just a cold-hearted bitch and how inexperienced this version of the Handyman character is. I also liked how his family dynamic played out. I'm going to be excited to see what y'all do against each other in the future.
Holden Ross vs Tyler Scott: A great fight between Seromine's current and former henchman. I liked the touch of Ross coming out to Scott's old music and entrance, it added another nice layer to the story. I liked this match as it was just a straight fight between two people who didn't like each other, which was the theme for the show you could say. Rick Majors getting involved at the end is something I expected, but welcomed. I'm a big fan of the Majors character from my short time in NLCW. I can't wait to see Ross and Willard mix it up with Majors and Scott.
Underground Championship Match: Jesus, these Underground matches have to be getting a cult following at this point, no? I enjoyed this match a lot, but it was slightly different from the recent string of Underground Title matches, is that it wasn't as brutal. Who knew Winston could fly like that?! The big man had some great spots. David Hunter is slowly becoming one of my favorite characters here. The man came in here and made the Underground Division his personal playground. But holy crap what a turn of event for Muscles Malone? Who would've thought the hot feud of the Underground Division was gonna involve The Sleaze Machine? Respect the Man-Thong! Can't wait for the rematch between these two.
North American Championship Match: I thought this was the best match of the night, personally. Grimm and Stormm beat seven shades of shit out of each other before and during the Championship match. It was a brutal match fitting of the feud between two veterans of Pure Class. I enjoyed the sport of Michaels trying to choke the life out of Grimm with the extra cable. And the reversing of the Harvest into Eye of the Stormm. Excellent. Dominator getting involved at the end with Justin was a great twist. That feud will be loads of fun. And Seromine attack Grimm after? Jeeze, picking a fight with PCW's version of The Undertaker when you already got Rick Majors after you is interesting.
PCW World Championship Match: Woo boy. I just wanna start out by saying this feud has been hella fun for me. I thought the match was great. I enjoyed the RDR2 custom entrance for the Champ. Man the crazy shenanigans at the end are making me wish there wasn't a holiday break, haha. I cant wait to see what happens.
Great job, everyone involved. I loved reading all the RPs and matches this cycle.

Extenuating circumstances aside, that was a solid debut by the Handyman. All the interactions with the family at ringside were a nice touch, too, since (from all appearances) that’s going to be a major storyline for the character.
Rick’s right about the segments and cut-scenes…there were quite a few this card, and they add that something extra that kicks these results up a notch.
Glad to see Rick Majors getting his mojo back, and whatever results from this between former and current Seromine associates should be fun.
Another vicious Underground match, just as we like ‘em. And the title changes hands again!
~~~~~~~~~
Okay, so you know how sometimes you get an RP idea in your head, and you get excited about it, and then you write it and post it and once it’s out there in the world it doesn’t have whatever spark you imagined at the beginning? Yeah, I had the idea for the North America RP about 3 cards ago but had been sitting on it because it felt like prime PPV material. And, well, I didn’t bring the ruckus like you need to when it comes to a title match with Stormm.
Oh well. You live, you learn.
Besides, Justin Michael’s recent RP series has been pretty swell and he deserved it regardless. And, come on, that was a really fun match to read.
~~~~~~~~~
Darn you, Seromine! You won’t get away with this!!
World Championship -- Whoa, it’s been a while since we had a matchup like that end without a clear winner. What a way to roll into the new year. Wheeeeee!
Now that’s how you end a calendar year. Awesome work, everybody.

I hope I'm not in the minority here, but if I had to say, this is one of the best PPVs we've had in PCW since the return almost 8 years ago. Top 3 for sure, but top to bottom, this was an amazing show. Most results, I will give 1 thorough read through on, but I've already been through this one twice already, and will probably give it one more quick read in a day or so, just to make sure I haven't overlooked anything at all. However, if I can be biased for just a minute here, the Grimm vs. Stormm match is Match of the Year (or at least Match of the 2nd Half) for me. Props to the writer on this one, as the action was just constant brutality back and fourth, and worthy of the stips added to the match, based on the aggressive nature of the feud Nate and I have written the last 3-4 months. As for the rest of the matches, I'm super interested in seeing more from the Handyman. Dan is a solid handler, and I've enjoyed every character he's brought into our world here, so (no pressure) but I've got some high expectations around Handy already! A solid #2 match, a match that could easily be worthy of a ME slot on Trauma sometime for sure, but here, it setup the rest of the card well going into all the title matches on the show! Let's call this a mid-card Main Event! The Underground drama since someone finally took the title off of Dom continues to intensify as the championship changes hands yet again. The war of the Underground isn't just starting, and it sure as hell isn't finished. I feel like this division is only going to keep heating up going into 2019. I've already spoken my piece here for the most part, other than showing my appreciation towards Nate on the collaboration back and forth we've had for our feud since the end of the Summer basically. It's been a really good time writing with him, and it really helped me out as I've been working on transitioning my gimmick and writing style a bit, and opening up a little more on storytelling. There's no hiding that I've not always had the most fun in PCW, but since returning last year, it's been 12-14 of the most fun months in eW that I've had in quite a while! Thanks to all involved with this NA fued the last several months! Oh, and welcome back (but also fuck you) Dominator!  LoL That brutal display after the madness that was that NA title match. Ouch! Good thing there's a nice long break, after Collision Course, Stormm and Grimm are going to need some R&R! I don't know who to feel worse for, though. Seromine or Dominator? Seromine, for getting to deal with Grimm, who lost a brutal match for a title he's yet to win; or Dom, for messing with the longest reigning NA champion after a brutal victory over a PCW HoFer. Both will have Hell to pay next year! Then we have the drama of the World title! Gerard has more than shown why he was the one to fight KS for the title at the PPV, more so than just his win the Deadly Rumble last PPV. Having been in a few matches with him this year as well, I was expecting this one to be close, and wouldn't you know it, we don't even know who the champ is after the show! Shades of the Michael Wryght/Justin Kaard ladder match from several years back that left us with 2 champs for a cycle. I am super interested to see how this one plays out going into Mass Destruction next year! All in all, yes, best show of the year, maybe best show since PCW's return, and an all around good time for all, win, lose, or draw! Perfection going into our holiday break! |
