Trauma 172 Results Feedback

Let us know what you think!

This felt just like a pre-PPV show should. Every major match on the card was set up to perfection, and it rolls into Living A Legacy with full momentum. Brilliant job by the writers to set this up so well, and great job by all who RPed for it.

[Non Compos Mentis]

I thought it was a really great show overall. Some real top quality matches in there and, not entirely for selfish reasons, I think my favourite was the NCM vs Loki match. Many thanks to the match writer there, and indeed for all the writers on this card. You guys continue to crank out detailed and original matches for every show, even if they aren't PPV's.

My only real criticism, which isn't REALLY a criticism, is that the show seemed very seg-heavy. I may be totally wrong in that, but it just felt that way. If it was a regular tv show that would be something irritating, but I do accept that we're efedding here and that rule doesn't fly. We have a lot of people on the roster and a lot of stories to tell, and all the extra activity is definitely a positive for the community..... so yeah, like I said, not REALLY a problem

It certainly built us up for LaL and it's one of the most stacked cards I've seen in a long time. Bring it awwwwwwwn!

I'll agree with Rick on the point that this show seemed to have a lot of segments, but that's definitely better than having none at all and there seemingly being no real story progression on the shows. We have a lot of interconnecting stories on going at the moment and to see them all weave (or collide in some cases) with each other on Trauma.

As for the rest of the show, it was built really well, and the descent to complete chaos towards the end of the show just helped show what kind of all out war is about to break at the PPV (and in the fed as a whole).

You guys did an awesome job on this show, not just building up the PPV ever so well, but making a great trauma that on its own was a fantastic read. Good luck to all for the PPV, and here's looking forward to it being the best one of the year!

[Sadistic]

I feel like I mention this for every show feedback I give, but this guy LOVES the recaps!

Having Gem/Eira/Sadistic open the show was a nice way to hype the title match and it also helped Foley look like a corporate bastard.

Huge win for the tag team newcomers the Nobodies. Reece and Merritt looked good as they dominated the match. Does this mean PCW is gonna bring back the tag division? Reece...is Bubba related to High Tide? Crazy Boy causing the DQ allowed him to save face and CB laying out Tide should help build upon their storied history.

DAAAAAMN!!! Old school Grimm taking out LoKi with a friggin shovel! That was awesome! If I'm being completely honest, Grimm's dialogue just seemed a bit...off. Still a good segment.

Oooh...some of Saniti's magic tricks. (Illusions! Tricks are something whores do for money.) Illusions. This was a very well written segment(not by me) as was the segment later in the show that portrayed all characters perfectly.

Looks like we have a nice feud brewing with Grimm and LoKi. That'll be entertaining for sure.

Wryght vs. Archer and Michaels vs. Michaelson were good technical matches that really built towards the showdown between Showtime and Stormm at LaL. Hopefully we'll get a masterpiece.

The 10 Questions with Eira was awesome and she did an awesome job of hyping this feud and our upcoming match. After reading this as well as some of our RPs over the past couple months you can get a real legitimate feeling of tension and animosity between us...and I LOVE it! Gem has already brought her A game for the match and I know Eira and Sadistic will bring theirs. Is Brochamp even around anymore, or has this turned into some kind of running joke?

I touched on it earlier, but the I always enjoy the interactions between Starr and Saniti. They're always written exquisitely and their personalities really shine through.

Alexa is up to her crazy shenanigans again. Oh! Brochamp will compete? Should be interesting. As well as half of the roster! Good segment. Thank you, Orin Boyd, for being able to calm that crazy lady.

Favorite segment of the night without question: Joka and Saniti. From Joka popping out like a jack in the box to the DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO to the back and forth slaps and the BAWLS kick, this segment did a wonderful job of hilariously meshing OOC funnies with PCW relevance. The alliteration at the end was a nice touch. Loved it.

LoKi vs. NCM was my favorite match of the night. The action flowed seamlessly and was a joy to read. Selling the attack on LoKi earlier in the night gave Mentis a big win without LoKi looking weak...even though he is!(Pelvic thrusts FTW!)

Ooh. Some good character building between Alexa and Orin and the introduction of a new bodyguard! Please don't kill them at the PPV. Only qualm with this segment is using history or happenings from previous feds as if they are common knowledge. I'd liked to have seen a bit more explanation on the situation as I imagine the average viewer would be lost at that point. Or maybe it was just ME that was lost...

The five person cluster of a match was handled very well. Steel being used as a floor was funny. The Grimm Cam was awesome! To hell with those fat, slow cameramen!!! This match was all over the place with badass action. We have a little outside interference to help promote some feuds, which was nice. I'll be brutally honest: I hated the outcome of this match. To have it end in a no contest did a disservice to the two handlers that actually RPed for the match. I would have really liked to see a winner between Grimm and Gem, but what can you do?

Solid hype segment for Living a Legacy. The ladder match will be crazy nuts. Alexa might get suspended...

Still love Joka's entrance! Awesome back and forth action in this match. The dynamic between Saniti and Starr was portrayed perfectly with Saniti not wanting to harm her. Should make their match at LaL very interesting. Thank you, Kelli, for pulling that one out for the team.

And all hell breaks loose! A lot of prominent feuds get some valuable airtime as Trauma goes off the air. Excellent way to end the show leading into the PPV.

While it was hard to live up to the previous Trauma, this edition held it's own in my opinion. I enjoyed the heavy dose of segments and thought that they really helped prime the feuds for the PPV matches. Great show. Ready for Living a Legacy!

Just when we thought we’d get to see a preview of the PPV match, Foley comes out and spoils it. Though I thought, “Now, please. You are all professionals,” was pretty funny.

It’s a drag when we have the number of no-shows we had in one match, but as usual in PCW no one was made to look particularly weak. It would be nice if we had a few legitimate tag teams in the ranks again.

Sorry, Loki. No harm, no foul, right?

I’m really digging the Sadistic/Starr/Saniti storyline. Some excellent work here with all the segments (and the recent RPs tying themselves together).

Seth Archer’s been putting up some good work lately, and Showtime had to earn that victory. His wily veteran experience came in handy this week.

And just like that last match, Kristoff made Stormm dig deep into his bag of tricks to win. Good matches all the way around.

So THAT’S how the 10 Questions is going to work. Cool beans. ("If everyone really were out to get her - she would have been well gotten by now." Hahaha, that's awesome.)

It was still funny, but for a second I thought the Saniti/Joka segment was going to end up being just like the Looney Tune wrestling cartoon (“None of this…and none of this…or this…or this…). Those two would make a great team down the road.

The Loki / NCM match did not disappoint. We know that whoever won this one will be a strong contender to win the tournament.

Not sure why or how this Orin Boyd fellow has such immediate control over Alexa Black, but it will be interesting to see this dynamic play out.

Sure, the No Contest wasn’t the preferred outcome, but was anyone really surprised in a match like that?

Sadistic’s insistence on Starr being in the ring to pin Saniti is diabolical and I love it! Excellent tag match.

And excellent results! What a lead-in to the PPV!

The recaps make a nice touch. Helps me piece together things I would have otherwise missed.

Nice opening segment between Eira/Gem/Sadistic/"A Ghost in the Wind" Frank Foley. We knew the title match for the PPV wouldn't happen then and there, but it was a great segment nonetheless.

I don't know much about any of these four (I know some about Tyrone "Crazy Boy" Smith, but that's because he was around when I was active), but the way the match was written gave me an indication on what all four of these somebodies were about.

Ouch. What a way for Grimm to welcome Loki back!

"Oooh...some of Nathan Saniti's magic tricks. This was a very well written segment."

Loki just returned to action and is already in the trainers' room? Sounds like he and I could be friends.

After reading the RPs, I wasn't sure who would win. I thought Seth Archer had a real fighting chance but Mr. Showtime did just enough to prove victorious. Same thing can be said about Stormm and @darkestearth.

I take it this 10 Questions segment will become a thing? I hope so. Great information piece and really helped push Eira's match going into the PPV.

Alexa Black has a new mentor? And who is this Buck Brochamp character?

That was an extremely fun segment between Joka and Nathan Saniti. Saniti is all over the place this show!

I had a feeling Non Compos Mentis was going to win, as the attack by Grimm onto Loki earlier in the night put that thought in my head. But Loki came out swinging and this was a nice match. Congrats to NCM for his victory and welcome back.

A draw. Did I predict a draw? Not for this match? Dang. Okay, still...solid match. Lots of no-shows and I would have liked to see Grimm or Gem get a victory, but what can you do?

Awesome main event between the teams of Nathan Saniti (dude, how did you only get 8 in the Power Rankings?) & Joka and Dollface & Sadistic. Very well written and a nice way to end the show.

This set of results was FILLED with segments that kind of made the show feel like it ran long, but who cares? It's the go-home show before the PPV and tons of people were featured. Living a Legacy is going to be so awesome. I can't wait.

He should have probably been ranked higher, you're right. I blame Sadistic. When in doubt, blame The Black Hand. (Seriously, sorry about that Nathan Saniti...if I was to modify the rankings, you'd probably be sitting pretty at 6.)

That's actually exactly where the inspiration for that came from. Also, be careful what you wish for.
