Heyyyyy

Another Trauma with some great segment action. Dominator always seems to bring the best segments out of his opponents, and the match against "Microburst" was a welcome surprise addition to the card. And Seromine and Grimm worked a compelling couple of segments together. Alexa and Handy also added intrigue, it helps that they have chemistry from their previous feuds. All progressed well this week.

I'd like to thank Angelo for his help with the segment, he took the framework I introduced and knocked the dialogue out of the park, pushed me to take mine in an little different directions. These two guys have arrived at an impasse in their egos and it makes for a good character dynamic. Neither of us has to turn heel, but it's still rife with drama.

My favorite match was Sicko straight up murdering people, baha. (I'm biased.)

Actually the main event I tried really hard to reflect the efforts of two of our hardest workers. It was a great effort by both of you guys and I'm proud to take part in the Underground.

[The Anarchist]

Loving these segments. Not only do they add to the quality of shows, but they also offer collaborative efforts to help build up PPV matches/progress feuds.

I told him privately, but I really enjoyed working with Nate on our trio. He had some awesome ideas to work with and it was a real pleasure to add in the stuff with Lucy and Seromine to that. So a big thank you to him.

I LOVE the builds for Kyle-Gerard II, Dominator-Stormm and Alexa-Joey II. All three are getting heated, personal and making me wish the PPV was up next LOL. Really great stuff from everyone.

Equal praise goes out to David Hunter for his contribution this show. Win or lose, the guy is an awesome talent.

Jerry Andrews: Handy's arsenal looks a lot like someone didn't heed the warnings "Don't try this at home,"

Ace Anderson: You mean like, if these bozos can do it, I can attempt to do it?

Jerry Andrews: Maybe with slightly less polish, but that's the idea.

Hahaha. Razor v Handy was fun. I like the incorporated MMA style that Handy is learning contrasted with him still being a greenhorn. Factor in the mouthy, antagonistic battle axe outside of the ring and well, THE BIG DOG, and you have yourself an entertaining opener. It was pretty even and had some moments that made me laugh. Good start! Oh and before I forget, another "accident" involving the ring. This time a banana peel of a turnbuckle pad. How bout it, Joey Liability??

The Microburst name made me think of WCW Cruiserweight circa 1996. That's a positive. I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read his billed weight, haha. Squash matches against jobbers are equally as welcome as any other seg. They too can add value to shows.

And from Tyler's entrance song: Violence is coming. It's coming. It's coming

If anything could sum up the UG division, it's that. We all know those who ply their craft in the division are going to go through hell. The two characters matched up evenly and both brought their A game to the title fight. Er, match. It's a wonder how anyone ever walks away from these matters. A damn fine match with an...interesting postmatch. Congrats to Tyler on the win. A worthy main event to cap off an excellent show.

Onwards to 246!

[Tyler Scott]

Great show guys. I have really enjoyed some of the segments recently. The Collabs going on at the moment are really engaging.

Underground title match was very well written I must say - some lovely brutal spots. Hugely surprised to win as Hunter is a great writer. Shall we do that again sometime?

PPV is going to be HOT

[Gerard Angelo]

I love how each feud has a fresh feel to how it's being built. It creates a nice contrast on the shows.

Handy and Alexa's feud already has an interesting wrinkle to it with his wife turning on him.

Grimm and Seromine's with the interesting backstage stuff. Nice use of Loki too.

Dominator and Stormm with the physical altercation. I also get lots of Sting vibes from Stormm right now, probably by design. Stormm having to fight off The Black Hand in two successive feuds is tough.

Thanks so much to the Champ for being willing to work with me on this feud. It's becoming one of my favorites in my time e-fedding.

The Underground division continues to steal the show each week. Between Sicko returning and the alliance formed between Hunter and Ross, long with the fact the title can change hands at any moment have made it exciting. Might as well have a six-pac challenge between all these guys involved.

Great show. I wish Mass Destruction was next.

Joey Handy vs. Razor Blade

This match couldn't have been written more perfectly. Joey looked like the amateur that he is supposed to be. Razor Blade gave it his all, but luck played out in Joey's favor. Barely. Joey tries to make friends and influence people at the end of the match, only to have Alexa make an attempt at attacking him. I have to say that I'm really enjoying working with Alexa Black again. Guess I'll have to use my Trauma "off" to recover and regroup. Or not. Guess you'll have to wait to find out.

David Hunter Promo:

Wow. The champ's a bit cocky. I love it. It'll be good to see how this develops down the line, but it's a fitting promo to hype up the main event. Will David Hunter remain the same "humble" guy, or will he lose his cool and his gold?

Seromine/Grimm Seg 1

Oh this is going to be a good one. With the influence of Lucy in the mix, this may become a mystical battle of the ages. Just don't feed me to Grimm. Ever. I can't wait to see where this one goes by the time the PPV comes around. The Anarchist may have bitten off more than he can chew, but it looks like Lucy may even the odds a bit.

Holden Ross Vs. Cory Steel

This was a brutal match between Holden Ross and Cory Steel. How did these two get through this match without getting DQed or counted out? The UG division just opened up when these two hover in the ranks. Cory pulls off a win, but these two behemoths will collide more in the future, you can bet on that.

Seromine/Grimm Seg 2

The circle of mannequins was a downright creepy resonation. *shudders* That's the fifth ring of hell for me. Glad to watch Grimm "harvest" these bastards. Lucy and Seromine were less impressed than I was. OCD, much?

Crazy Boy vs. Muscles Malone vs. Sicko

Sucks that John, wasn't able to get anything up this week, but it's nice to see CB back in the mix of things. These two would have had enough trouble betwixt themselves. Throw the demented clown into the mix, and that's a recipe for nope and bloodshed. The smaller men got in a few good shots, but this match was Sicko all the way. Looks like Tyrone "Crazy Boy" Smith is a glutton for punishment, if he's got designs on retribution against the grease painted menace.

Horacio and Dominator seg/ Dominator vs. Microburst

Dominator / Mortimer issues another challenge, just daring Stormm to try and take down the Giant of Time. So what do they do? They bring in a midget version of Stormm to toss around like they're in a bowling alley. Poor guy got pummeled until... *lights go out* (not gremlin related) and Stormm makes a grand entrance and an even grander statement.

Seromine/Grimm Seg 3

This is shaping up to become Armageddon when these two meet. (Seriously. It's there in the bible. Just look it up.) Good thing Loki stepped in, slapping their wrists and sending them to different corners together. Does that ever really work? Guess we have to save the good stuff for the PPV, but it was a nice build-up of the tension between these two.

Kyle Shane/ Gerard Angelo Seg

Kyle Shane comes out and delivers in 7 million words what he could have said in five. Finally, Gerard Angelo comes out and responds in 3 million words what he could have said in two. Just kidding guys. This was a great seg that raised the tension between two bitter rivals. I shocked it didn't come to blows. Yet. This will be a great match when Mass Destruction comes around.

Tyler Scott vs David Hunter

Who knew this would have been such a magnificently brutal match? *slowly raises his hand* Both of these men wanted this match, and it showed in their RPs. There were some beyond brutal spots in this match, with Tyler Scott and Hunter trading blows for a bit before the carnage really starts. Steps, chairs, monitors, fan beers, musical instruments (DAFUQ?), and trash cans fly as these two pull no punches to dismember the other. I thought this match was going to go on forever, but Hunter just barely missed getting his shoulder up in time. Damned brutal match. Well earned win and a loss that's nothing to be ashamed of.

And then... An ice cream truck appears and a wild Sicko appears! But he's not the real threat. Holden Ross clubs Scott from behind. Hunt and Ross double team an already beaten Scott to add an exclamation point to their newfound alliance. Hoo boy! This may be a bad thing for the UG division.

Instead of regurgitating the specifics that have already been addressed, please allow me to state that, yes, I too recognize these segments play an important part in moving along both angles and feuds, as well as just generally making things more interesting for all those involved. And there were quite of few of them this cycle.

Things got ugly for some (re: most) people, there was a twist or two thrown into the mix…this PPV is building to quite a doozy.

I admit this feedback is pretty generic, but them's the breaks.

I found it rather eloquent....
