Especially for segments. Copy and pasting a match entrance for a talk segment doesn't work. :uhoh

That said, I want to thank all the people that wrote stuff for the show. We had a strong segment presence and got so many angles over.

Done reading the show and what a banger.

- Love Malice's presentation and appearance. Add good unpredictability to the show

- Big fan of Tora/Max interactions. A little will they/wont they with some potential for more heat and maybe even a friendship down the line? Or will it be war? either way, I like it!

- Also a big fan of the perceived main eventers at the moment. There's quite a few big players, and all of them seem to be well fleshed out with their individual motivations. Shinzo wants to be the strongest warrior. Pariah wants to get paid while destroying ppl. cutter jr wants to mastermind everything. Sanders wants to remain the top guy while being held down by THE MAN. Lots of good shit here, and everyone is actually looking strong regardless of match results. No one looks like a bitch, most importantly.

- Tetsuo Ishii is a midcard star and you all love him , you know you do ;) . I had a great time writing that cage match and I think the storyline got told very well there *pats his own back*

- I really like that a lot of the stories intertwine. This is sorely missing from certain wrestling programs, where everyone is in the same building, yet acting oblivious to whats going in that night. This is smart to do , and I'm proud to be part of that, because nothing but 1 on 1 programs that don't interact with other people on the same show is not realistic. This is well done.

Thanks, man! I take a lot of inspiration from 1999-2001 WWF Russo-Kreski Era booking. I try to interwove the stories as much as I can and also weave throughout the whole show. I was always the biggest fan when we keep coming back to a story during the whole night. Not just one segment a show.

By the way I think the closing visual on the show was really great. Strong way to send the people home, with a nice use of the ambulance prop and the swerve that preceded it all.

One thing to touch since you mentioned the entrances, its actually a really good point @The Great One . Like even in this show, for example. We had Blaze's character do his entrance on a talking segment with fireworks. then he had fireworks again when he came out for his match and his entrance was similar/the same. so small things like that could be come redundant in the future. So I agree with you, its better if everyone takes the time to write out custom entrances for their match, so it doesnt come across as copy pasta.

Like EC was saying, though, I'd love to get even more of the newer faces mixed in so let's get cracking on angle ideas! :garrett

Petty and I shopped that twist and finish together, and I think I came up with the ambulance concept, but that match was all Petty.

And he delivered on the visual storytelling. Man deserves all the props for being a great writer, honestly.

I'll ponder some ideas for the Tapei Death Match stuff, feel free to start a 3-way PM if you have ideas too! I've mostly got ideas for Northern Touch atm. I should also maybe start thinking about Ishii's next fight as well since hes now 2-0

I plan to book both Touch and Shinzo this week, do you want me to book Ishii as well?

I'm not really a guy that's gonna come up with angles but I'm pretty content with whatever so I'm open to any ideas for my character (and my new one when he debuts too but he'll be more lower card). The segment after my match with Pariah and Shabazz with McMichaels has potential :vince
