Opening with Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat: I liked this opening, the video package would have shown some great highlights from old times and Steamboats little speech was good. He built up well and ended by announcing a tournament for the vacant HEW Championship which should be good, I'm not entirely sure of who the superstars in the tourney will be but its got me interested and I'll continue reading for sure now.
Nicky Andersen (DOLPH) backstage: I laughed when at the start of this promo when he kepy shutting down the interviewer before finally telling him to leave lol. He was in pretty good character, arrogant and cocky i pretty much all he's about at the moment. Cryme Tyme coming helped this segment, they have history with Andersen and they brought it up in a comedic way, you brought in shad which I don't like, you've got two good talented guys in JTG and Tornado but I'm not a fan of Shad, I guess he'd be good back up. Pretty good segment although I don't know if anything will come of this, maybe a continued feud?
Mysterio Vs OJ: Pretty decent opener, I think it was a good decision to start the show off with one of HEWs newest talents that being Rey Mysterio, OJ put up a minor fight but it looks as though Rey was just to fast paced for him. With a win like that in his debut, I see big things for Rey in HEW. I have a few feuds I'd like to see him in and I bet you have alot of ideas for him too. Nice job.
Train Wrecker interview: I really enjoyed this, Nova was VERY entertaining as the announcer and TW was good paying tribute to his former partner. Stevie came in would have gotten ALOT of heel heat after saying that, its good story building and they should have some pretty hardcore matches. Maybe my favourite segment so far in the show.
Station X Vs KC James and Idol Stevens: Cool name for Londrick and I had actually forgotten about James and Stevens, good tag match here, some good back and fourth stuff, both teams got some good offence in and I must say, I am really suprised James and Stevens got the win, I thought London and Kendrick had this match won before even beginning to read it lol. Best match of the returning show so far, hopefully this continues.
Carlito interview: Carlito was in good character and I like him teaming with Masters although I did like him teaming with "the pirate" too. I see Tag title matches for these two sometime down the track. Good simple segment here.
Styles promo: This wasn't bad, I liked how you had the video package to help new readers or maybe readers who have forgotten about the history between these two. The promo itself was alright, AJ got the point across about him wanting the World Championship but I thought this may have been a little too short, could have been a little more length to it. Not too bad though, AJ going for the title should be good.
Petey Vs Siaki: Not a bad match, it had its spots and flowed quite nicely. I think the ending parts to the match were good, it wasn't completley a dirty win as Petey didn't even hit the exposed turnbuckle, a feud should develop from this for the TV title which I hope Petey Williams retains as he Petey is awesome! Good stuff here.
Morrison/Hardy/Regal/Benjamin backstage: Looks as though we know who four of the men in the tournament are. Good choices here too. I think its good how you've had them interact with one another before there Main Event Match (I didn't even know this was the Main Event until commentary told me so), some good lines from each man, a few funny lines but also a few errors throughout it which you could work on. Good segment.
Ted Jr and Ted Sr promo: Both were in good character and I think its good that Ted Jrs been brought in, with the way you book young guys he could be Champ within a few months lol. Good short promo and I look forward to seeing what you can do with him.
Main Event: Easily Match of the Night, some great action between the two teams and it was a great length, the way a Main Event should be. I was quite dissappointed that you didn't hype your Main Event throughout the show tbh, it was kind of the same with Andrews first return show, I was expecting a first round tournament match but we got that match randomly, no announcement of it or anything, just joey styles saying that was the Main Event and thats it. The match was good but it should have been hyped by GM or commentary more. I liked the way these four worked together and future matches with them would be great. Nice job.
Overall: Good return show Levy, the backstage segments were awesome and the matches had their fair share of good spots. I'm excited to see where you go with all your little angles and I will continue to read, the tournament should be good, can't wait. The only major bad thing on the show was the lack of hype to the Main Event, if you had built it up early it would have been more exciting and had me interested in reading to the end of the show. Everything else was mostly good.
Rating: 7.5/10
