So that pesky Black Hand kicks the night off with so much paint. Jerks.
The Underground division doesn’t disappoint, and it appears that these matches are right in Judge’s wheelhouse. He’s going to be a tough champion to unseat.
Cosmos’s No-Show didn’t do Psychedelica any favors, but he was still as goofy as ever in the ring. Nice solid tag match here, with a bizarre ending courtesy of Alexa Black…though I wonder what her plans were with Lunatic?
Another good tag team match, with everyone getting in on the action. I wouldn’t expect anything less than TUhA’s early snubbing of their partner NCM.
Not a lot of segments (says the guy who never, ever sends one in), but those that were there were nice and brisk and helped move things along.
Now that was a grudge match. Judas Priest.
After a weird week of mostly last-minute RPs, I feel this was a good transition Trauma that added to some storylines and introduced some little bits we can run with.

I love the rest of the match and me taking a bump, always fun to see my character doing that. But us snubbing NCM, the writer REALLY dropped the ball on that one, especially since both TUHA members expressed their willingness and delight to be teamed up with him. That is the only critic thing I have to say, but great job getting the show up quickly. |

But us snubbing NCM, the writer REALLY dropped the ball on that one, especially since both TUHA members expressed their willingness and delight to be teamed up with him. That is the only critic thing I have to say, but great job getting the show up quickly. I don't necessarily think the writer dropped the ball. Was NCM being kept out of the match? Sure. Was it portrayed as TUHA doing it intentionally? Debatable. The Black Hand dominated the match as a well-oiled stable would do in 'real life', they isolated members of the team to punish them and kept the freshest of them on the apron. I don't have a problem with that at all, and it's perfectly in character for TBH to want to frustrate NCM and keep him marginalised in the match. More to the point though, while Loco and Willard may have been happy to team with NCM, who would they trust in a clutch situation when they had an option to tag someone; their long time friend and partner or random partner #1? NCM hasn't exactly been known to play well with others either. I can see why you'd take the actions as TUHA being dismissive or insulting to NCM and how that would be unfair against your characters, but personally I see it as good tag-match psychology. Other than that I thought it was a very good show overall. Nex Addo? Sounds mysterious (latin always does) but I guess we'll have to wait to see what it means. The first match was a brutal example of Underground rules and was a really good match to start off the night. Judge is doing a good job to keep the title with plenty of opponents, should be interesting to see if he can become a long-term champion and help build the prestige of the belt. The first 6 person tag match of the night was... crazy. Seriously, there was so much crazy in that match that it could have filled an asylum and then some. It was a well written match but I didn't know what to make of Nathan and Alexa's argument. Worrying fissures in the UnStable? Whatever happened, Alexa, CB and Lunatic showed their chops in beating two former International Champions and Derek Cosmos. Again, the tag title race is a very interesting scene to be watching for quality and interesting storylines. Third match, mostly see my opening comments in this post. But I'd also say that I thought it was a great written match with plenty of psychology to back up the actual wrestling. In fact this pretty much sets the tone for the whole show. It's easy for writers to fall into the trap of writing a series of spots, connecting them up and calling them a match... but a lot of the time they can lack a psychology that is what really makes matches worth their weight in gold. I know I've done that a hundred times so it not a damnation of those matches. They have their place, not every match can be Austin vs Hart from Wrestlemania 13 and most are there purely to showcase the in-ring skill of the wrestlers. This show was full of good psychology though. It lifted the matches and the show, so well done to all the writers, not just for this match but all. The main event was a spectacle if nothing else. At times I thought it was too gimmicky, even too big for Trauma, but in the end I just bought into it and took it for what it was... a great match with a unique slant to add to an already unique storyline. Sadistic's being put up against a gauntlet this cycle it seems, and that's something we haven't really seen before. The match was full of little brutal moments and bursts of character that built the tension. The 'referee' and the mysterious comments about his identity added another layer onto it but.... it couldn't be, could it? And if it was, would he have allowed that to happen to Eira without stepping in? I guess we'll see next time. All around a very good show, no weak link as far as I'm concerned. |

I can see why you'd take the actions as TUHA being dismissive or insulting to NCM and how that would be unfair against your characters, but personally I see it as good tag-match psychology.. I'm fine with the match itself, the only problem I see with it was that. You're talking about a well oiled stable with TBH. TUHA has been together for 14yrs as a team and 16yrs as stablemates. You don't think in some of that time they wouldn't have done the same? And yes, while it is natural to tag a friend, me and Jase are Old School minded, you have faces and you have heels, the faces ALWAYS get along with the other faces and if your on our side in a war, then you are treated with the most respect you can be given. Black Hand cutting the ring on half, GREAT heel strategy BUT the tagging of Alliance members back and forth, uncalled for shared by both me and Jase opinions. That's the only one thing we saw about that match, the rest of it, greatness to say the least. |

You could always sent in a strat guide to help the writers out if you want to avoid things like that.

Working on VERY little sleep, so will try my best to keep my feedback short. Unlikely, but I'll try lol.
Right off the bat, I appreciate the history recap. It's always been a favorite thing of mine not only in results, but also the old days of wrestling. Nice refresher imo and helps to explain the rivalry and it's importance.
I dug everything getting painted in black and when combined with the fire sign (kudos to whoever designed it), really set a tone that TBH run things, as well as a direct message to Foley.
I have enjoyed the character of Judge from the start, and REALLY enjoy him with the Underground title. His matches are ones I look forward to reading, as you just know brutality will happen. To echo the sentiments of the others, it will take a major effort to unseat him.
The six person was fun. Really liked the showdown of (un)Stable members, Lunatic and Cosmos have entertaining antics, and Alexa finally managed to get her hands on Kelli. Good stuff guys!
Now for the six man. This may get wordy. First things first, congrats to TBH for a dominating (imo) victory. They cut us (TUHA) off from NCM, and honestly, I liked him getting the hot tag. With his past history against them, it made total sense. Well oiled machine is right. TBH were just that, as I expected. I have no problems with the match or it's outcome. I can see things from everyone's pov in way of interpretation. Would I have liked to be more cohesive in teaming with NCM? Of course, especially coming from an old school wrestling perspective. BUT, Rick explained it really well. The match was good. Like Nate said, everyone got involved, which is a plus. So *thumbs up* onto the next Trauma.
Holy shit. How about that main event? I LOVED the location for it. So fitting for something so personal. All that was missing was a heavy downpour and thunder. Lol. Great match. Really enjoyed the heck out of it.
