Match 4: The Red Panther vs. Criminal (Credit: Red Panther)

OOC: I had a full five para match, but the page closed down and it deleted the entire thing and removed it from my clipboard. Really sorry about this This is basically a short version of what I can remember. I may have left this too late, as at this time I have to write some more before tonight. God damn IE.

DING DING DING

The match starts off with Panther laying a cocky slap on Criminals face, causing Criminal to open up with some elbows and punches. Panther struggles to fight back against the slightly bigger Criminal and is forced into the corner, where he gets a high angle drop kick to the face. Panther stumbles out to the middle of the ring and is hit with an armdrag. Panther rolls through and lands on his feet, quickly hitting Criminal with an arm drag of his own. Criminal also rolls through and turns, locking up with Panther. Panther takes control with a few knees to Criminals chest followed by a wrist lock. Panther takes out one of Criminals legs with a sweep and lets go of his arm, flooring Criminal onto his face. Panther drags up Criminal by his hair and whips him into the ropes, only to be hit with a cross body on the rebound! Criminal stays on Panther, getting a two count. The two gets up and circle each other before Criminal dives at Panthers legs, only for Panther to jump over him and casually land on his feet.

Maxwell: A nice show of agility by Panther there!

Panther wastes no time, booting Criminal in the back of the head as he kneels up. Criminal falls forward onto his front, holding the back of his head. Panther lifts Criminal onto his feet and hits him with a high kick to the chin. Criminal falls back wards, barely keeping his footing with his arms flailing at his sides. Panther kicks him in the head again, and again Criminal falls back, this time using the ropes to keep his footing. Panther goes for a third high kick but Criminal grabs his foot and throws it down, following up with an overhand right. Panther holds his nose for a few seconds, allowing Criminal to hit him with a snap power slam, which he holds onto for a two count. Criminal lifts up Panther but Panther hooks his leg and quickly hits him with the Barrett 50. cal (Leg hook northern lights suplex). Panther holds on for a two count, with Criminal kicking out. Panther lifts Criminal up and hits him with another signature move, the Pele Kick. Criminal stumbles but refuses to fall, just keeping his footing.

Edison: Criminal is not falling from Panther kicks.

Maxwell: Well he is a natural fighter, his balance is great and his durability is top quality!

Panther runs in for a punch, but Criminal catches the punch and sweeps away Panthers legs. The crowd cheer at Criminal getting back into the match as the aforementioned Criminal stomps Panthers back, squeezing the air out of him like a balloon with a hole in it. Criminal lifts Panther to his feet and then hits him with a huge front spine buster! Crim hooks Panthers legs, getting a late two count. Criminal lifts up Panther again and tosses him into the corner. Criminal goes to grab Panther, but Panther grabs him and tosses Criminal into the corner before unleashing The Hawaiian Violence Party, kicking, kneeing, punching and headbutting Criminal. Criminal grabs Panthers last punch, spins round and hip tosses him into the center of the mat. Criminal seems ready to finish as he exits out onto the apron as Panther stands. Criminal jumps up onto the apron and springboards across the ring at Panther, going for The Heist, only for Panther to push him off before he can finish off the springboard cutter. Criminal quickly pops back onto his feet and turns, going for a spinning elbow to Panthers jaw, only to have his arm grabbed. Criminals face turns from a into a as he realizes what Panther is trying. Panther jumps and flips Criminal over into a flying armbar, slamming him down hard while locking in the armbar! Criminal went all out all match, and it took it all out of him, as he taps, knowing he can't escape.

Winner: The Red Panther

Post match segment: See you at WD (Written by: The Red Panther)

Roots Bloody Roots plays and The Red Panther stands up, raising his own hand. Instead of leaving, Panther grabs a microphone. the music plays for a few seconds as Panther paces, waiting for both the music and fans to quite down. Eventually the fans stop booing, and the music fades down.

Panther: So, who wants to say I'm not a contender now? Who wants to say I'm a cheat? I just made Criminal tap out, and made it look easy. I have been Wheeler, I have been Criminal, I have beaten Anzalone, I have beaten Chris Phenomenal, and now I will beat VorteX. In case it isn't clear, I accept your challenge, VorteX. I will face you, Wheeler and this scrub at Winters Discontent. I am where I belong tonight, winning the main event, standing up above everybody else here tonight. And while it may be the first time this has happened, let me make it clear, it will not be the last, and the Entertainment Title will be my first stepping stone up. VorteX, Wheeler, scrub, I will see your asses at Winters Discontent!

Roots Bloody Roots plays again as Warfare closes/we cut away to the final segment, Panther standing on the turnbuckle with his hands raised.

Catch the Pidge....I mean, Chris Phenomenal.....
By Dave Shadow, Jack Jefferson & Chris Phenomenal

As we cut backstage again, we find Chris Phenomenal dashing about, still clutching the World Heavyweight championship to his chest. As he makes his way through the halls, Chris keeps turning his head back, keeping a keen eye on the areas behind him to make sure he isn’t being followed. However, in doing so, he doesn’t spot Jack Jefferson turning a corner directly in front of him.

Jefferson: Hey! Stop right there you thieving cunt!

Chris stops and looks forward at Jack, the two men still quite a distance away from each other. Jack puts his head down and starts to run towards Chris, as Dave Shadow emerges from a door in between them. He, too, spots Chris and the chase is on again. Chris lets a sly grin spread over his face and turns round, starting to flee the scene, as Dave and Jack are close in pursuit behind him.

Chris tries to lose his followers, shoving boxes and any other obstacles he can find onto the floor behind him, trying to create obstacles. But Jack and Dave aren’t going to let the bastard get away with the title. The two men leap over everything Chris throws at them. Ahead, Chris turns one more corner, as the camera falls back to behind Dave and Jack. The two men skid round, and freeze to the spot. The camera catches up and reveals what they can see.

Chris Phenomenal stands proudly with the World Title over his shoulder in the middle of the hall, a big grin growing by the second. Beside Chris stands the ever imposing former World Champ The Senator, and flanking the two men are not only the members of the Capitalists, but also about six other guys dressed in black suits. Dave and Jack stand staring at the small army in front of them.

Dave: Jack, you idiot. You led us right into their trap.

Jefferson: Me? I was following you!

Dave: Yeah, right. Well, Chris. How bout you hand that title over to me right now?

Jefferson: You? Wait a god damned minute! I do believe it’s MY title. I seem to remember it was ME who defeated Dan White to win it! So Chris, hand it over and we won’t embarrass you and your butt buddies.

Chris Phenomenal: You’re fuckin’ serious? I’m standin’ here with all the cards, the title, everything and you expect me to hand the title over because I’m worried you’re going to throw down. In case ya blind or some shit, I’ve got ya outnumbered about 5 to 1.

Dave: Yeah, when have the odds ever been in my favor?

Chris starts to walk forward towards the duo, leading his men towards the pair. Dave and Jack throw each other a look, before turning back towards Chris, the pair raising their fists. If they’re going to get their asses kicked, they’re going to go down fighting.

? ? ?: Hey! Dave? Need some help?

Chris and his gang spin round to see who is shouting out from behind, and his grin turns upside down. Jay Tyler and Shelton Splash stand at the far end of the corridor, their arms folded.

Chris Phenomenal: Aw isn’t that sweet, we got Dr. Who who I almost killed five months ago and fuckin’ Tiny Tim! Why don’t you too back off and go savour what’s left if your bittersweet lives.

Shelton: Come on, Chris. You know me better than that. Like hell we’re backing down from a fight.

Chris Phenomenal: Suit yourself

[Alicia "Atomic" Kitsune]

In a split Chris and Senator, along with two of the other men charge at Dave and Jack as they start trading blows, Jack managing to knock out one of the nameless guys with a single punch to the nose. The Capitalists lead the rest of the men towards Shelton and Jay, who run towards them as well, managing to take two of them out with shoulder blocks. Chaos starts to reign down in the hallway, as everyone starts brawling.

Hearing the noise, ACW security guards start to emerge from various directions, trying to pull people apart but just ending up getting involved in the brawl as well. Bodies are going flying and people are getting seriously hurt as Dave, Jack and Chris all trade blows, Dave even hitting Jack and vice versa when the opportunity arises. Some of the security guards get in between Jack and Dave, pushing them back up against the wall, and keeping them from Chris.

Amidst the chaos, Chris tries to make a dart down a side corridor, looking to get away with the title. His little ambush has failed, and he would rather not stick round to see the results of the fight. However, as he runs down a hall, Dave Shadow breaks away from the brawl as well and dives at Chris’ legs, tackling him to the ground. Dave tries mounting him, throwing big punches, as the title slides across the floor. Chris grabs Dave by the head and drives his own forehead into Dave’s nose, causing Dave to drop to one side. Chris scrambles to his feet and slams a kick into the gut of Dave.

Dave rolls over on to his back, as Chris moves over to the title belt and picks it up. He walks back to Dave and stands over him, getting ready to start taunting him. Before he can say a word though, Dave brings his boot up and straight into the crotch of Chris. Chris drops the title and keels over, allowing Dave time to get to his feet. However, the forehead to the nose seemingly has left him bloodied as he tries to wipe the tears from his eyes. He grabs a box and uses it to support him.

Deciding to forsake the title for now, Chris starts crawling down the hallway, leaving it and Dave behind. He moves towards a fire escape at the end of it, and opens the door, stumbling out into the cold car park outside. Dave grabs the title belt, and realizing where Chris has ran off to, starts to give chase once again. He runs into the car park and starts searching for Chris.

Spotting him at the far end of the area, trying to get his keys into the door of a car, Dave starts running at Chris, the title belt still in hand. However, just before Dave can get to him, Chris opens the door and stumbles into the driver’s seat. He slams the door shut and locks it, as Dave reaches the car and starts pulling at the handle. It won’t budge though, and Chris wastes little time in getting the engine started. Dave can only watch as Chris starts the car, throws one last smile at Dave, and then starts driving at top speed. Dave leaps back to avoid having his foot run over, as Chris clears out of the arena at top speed.

Dave stands staring after Chris for a few seconds, before realizing just what it is exactly that he is holding. The World Championship belt. It’s the first time that Dave has ever held this prestigious championship, physically, and he can’t help but feel slightly emotional. He takes it in both hands and just stares at it. Finally, he lets it drop to his side, clutching on to it with one hand.

Soon, it will be his for real.

From behind, Dave feels someone grabbing at the loose strap, yanking it from his grip. Dave spins round as the belt is pulled from his arm, but he can’t react quick enough. Jack Jefferson has moved the belt into his two hands, pulls back and clonks Dave over the head with it, flooring the challenger. Dave drops to the cold, concrete tarmac of the car park, his eyes closed.

Jack just stands over Dave, the title belt in his hand. As the show fades to black, the final image we see is Jack Jefferson standing over the prone Dave Shadow, holding the title. And if this is the last image we see come Winter’s Discontent, then the dreams of Dave Shadow could be smashed on the ground as well.[/b]

At Winter’s Discontent, titles will be on the line, and there is no shortage of challengers.

Which competitors will weather the icy storms? Will alliances hold firm, or shatter under the pressure?

The old year has a few final surprises to reveal, before giving way to the new.

Fade to Black.

End of Show.

[Jack Jefferson]

Right, time for some show feedback. Been a while since I had the time to do this but I’m glad I’ve been able to take a crack at it again for tonight’s show. Enough of my rambling, here’s your feedback...



“A Brief Announcement From The Offices of Senator Steve Phillips” (Chris Phenomenal) – Not much you can say about a segment this short really. Although, Chris did a good job of making the statement sound like a pre-prepared one so that’s a positive. Builds some intrigue for the gauntlet match later in the show too and makes you think Phenomenal is crazy for setting up such a contest. Guess there was an alright amount to say after all.

“WHO NEEDS SEGMENT TITLES” (Freeman) – I don’t think Freeman dislikes intro italics that much, I just think he’s lazy. I, on the other hand, am a big fan; they do the vital job of setting the scene for the reader – stop being lazy Freeman and get yourself some descriptive italics to kick things off! As for the rest of the segment? This was an improvement on last week’s stuff. I enjoyed the ramble about needing a hype video and the Miley Cyrus thing was funny, however, it did tend to flag a tad in the middle with the whole back and forth about the card. You could have cut that out altogether and gone straight from “you have a match against Gary” to “I do—oh, course I do! Well have no fear, Trace Birmingham can handle this Gary guy...etc etc.” That would’ve worked better in my opinion. Definitely an improvement though, seems like you took a little bit of what I said on board.

“An old buddy” (Criminal) – This segment was quite hit and miss for me. Firstly, I like the idea of introducing someone from his past and there were some bits of info from Criminal’s past sprinkled throughout which I liked. One thing that instantly struck me, though, was how unrealistic it would be for someone Criminal knew before becoming a wrestler to refer to him as “Criminal”. It’d be much better if he had a real name as well as the ring name and the old friend used that, in my opinion. I liked the detail of Phenomenal living in a seedy area of the island although I wish you’d given it a better name than “Seedier Area”. There were a couple more things which could use some work to improve this. Firstly, some of the wording used seemed very forced; for example “I thought it was time I got paid for things i go to jail for instead of paying for it.” would’ve been much better if it was “I thought it was about time I got paid for my efforts rather than getting banged up for it!” Secondly, near the start of the segment Criminal openly talks about selling drugs to Acid yet near the end chastises him for the same thing. This seemed a tad sloppy to me. I did, like I said, like the idea behind this segment and it does set up an interesting “what next” scenario, I just think with a bit of polish it could be a bit better. If you want more in-depth feedback, or an explanation of anything I’ve said either reply in this topic or PM me and I’ll do what I can to help you improve. You’ve got promise and I can see definite potential in your work though.

“Still hate segment Titles” (Freeman) – Someone paying Gary to take the fall? That is genius. The Greg character is starting to grow on me; maybe more light should be shed on him than Trace? Although, to be fair, the overly idiotic stuff from Trace seemed to be kept to a minimum on this one. Apart from the rehashing of the “Galaxy is bigger than universe” thing, which seemed very forced on this occasion. If someone genuinely thought that the Galaxy was bigger than the Universe they’d say they were the best in the Galaxy and feel no need to follow it by saying that it’s bigger than the universe. The “I’m smart too” bit was a tad too much also. If you’d left that bit at “most awesome wrestler in the whole wide galaxy” you’d have been better off for it.

“Trace Birmingham vs. Gary” (Freeman) – I don’t usually do match feedback, although I felt the need to say that you should’ve had Gary win. Had him get caught up in his moment and win the thing. Then not only would you have a pissed off Greg angry about being scammed out of money but you could’ve had him be harder on Trace (who would obviously say it was a fluke) and kept poor Gary’s integrity. Gary might be the guy who would lose to even Alex Trixer but I doubt he’d take a dive for any amount of money, especially if he was winning. You’ve tarnished Gary’s nice guy image now, I hope you’re proud of yourself. (As for why he’d take the money? Obviously he thought he’d lose anyway so it’d be a win/win situation. He’d get paid for taking a dive when he actually didn’t.)

“Looking for Challengers” (VorteX) – A fatal fourway for the title? Very interesting! This was a solid segment from you ‘Tex, when you get away from all your crazy drug-addled character promos ( ) you can still cut a decent wrestling promo. One thing stood out for me in a major way though, and while this might seem like nit-picking to some...I don’t think you should use the term “midcarders” in a promo (or any rank for that matter). You’d be much better of acknowledging them as competition or challengers than directly saying they’re ranked the same as you. For the record, I really liked the line “you can either come out and play…or continue to hide.”

“Un-Announced Match: Handicap Gauntlet Match” (Chris Phenomenal) – Ah a comedy wrestling classic that works just about every time as long as it’s not overused. The fact that Phenomenal is actually a huge heavyweight made this all the funnier for me. The line “Oh my Science! Midgets!” had me in stitches and I loved the fact midget Jefferson threw “Chloe” at Phenomenal, especially the description of it saying “throws him/her/it into”. Great stuff, can’t fault it at all. Use of commentary is something that has declined in segments recently (and I’m as much at fault as anyone) but this really showed how much the seasoned team of McNally and Edison can add to a segment.

“Recapping my legacy so far” (The Red Panther) – I enjoyed this segment, and I really liked the concept of Panther producing photos which mean something to him and cutting a mini-promo about each one. The first part/photo/promo...I’ll refer to them as promos...detailing Panther’s first win was great, although I felt he should’ve left mention of the Entertainment Title out of it (I’ll detail why later). The fact that Panther hyped up his finisher in this part impressed me; it made him seem a legitimate threat to anyone he faces and I don’t think it’s done enough anymore so Kudos for that. The second promo about learning from his losses was very good and painted Panther in a positive, sporting light (Panther’s a face right, if not...this promo doesn’t work >_>). I loved the detail in the third promo, giving a quick but clearly proud recap of his father and the detail about his father’s fans hating him was a nice touch. The fourth promo was, well, a huge letdown. “She was nice to me, she was the perfect mother.”? It sounds robotic and there was nowhere enough detail in this, it just wasn’t believable because it was so brief and emotionless. The thing about humans doing horrible things was good but would’ve been better if he’d said “people” instead. I think there should’ve been one or two more photos but that’s by the by. Also, I liked the last picture being the Entertainment Title but I don’t like how it was done (I said I’d explain later). I believe Panther should’ve cut a promo about his desire to get his hands on the Entertainment Title, saying that no matter who happened to be in possession when he got his shot he’d bulldoze right through them, taking their arm if necessary, and finally fulfil a lifelong dream of becoming a champion in ACW, taking his place alongside the great names who have held this title before him and restoring some glory to the title, etc, etc. Oh, and the title should’ve been pretty much anything other than “Recapping my legacy so far”, in fairness Panther doesn’t really have a legacy yet.

“Sit Down Interview” (Dave Shadow) – To begin with, I wish to apologise if I come across as an arse-kisser during this feedback. I generally tend to give Dave extremely positive reviews but that is for the simple reason that he is just that good. Plus, interview segments seem to be Dave’s forte; he always seems to nail them, the bastard. Well I said he was good at interviews and he didn’t prove me wrong. The references to Freeman’s criticisms really made this for me, they were subtle but not missable. Also, anyone who was confused about the status quo between Jefferson, Shadow and Phenomenal need only read this segment and everything will be well and truly cleared up.
Disclaimer: I would like to make it clear that I have never, or will never “Graced Dave’s arse.” I don’t know about Chris Phenomenal though, all I know is I haven’t. >_>

“In All Seriousness” (Trent Wheeler / Criminal) – The description to kick this segment off was far too brief in my opinion, I thought you could have really set the scene with Wheeler sprawled on a crate, his breathing heavy, and sweat still keeping his brow shiny. The usual drill, I just think it would’ve added a bit more atmosphere had you included a bit more detail. One thing that struck me about this segment was the way different people picture ACW Island. I’ve always pictured it as having an area with a thriving infrastructure, like a mini-city that has an active nightlife and quite a good number of residents. If only the wrestlers lived on ACW Island there would be utter chaos. Also, having “Wheeler begins to laugh” casually dropped into Wheeler’s speech was a tad confusing, maybe you could’ve had stars around it just to differentiate it from his speech and signify it was something he was doing? Also, one thing that confused me slightly was Panther being referred to as Red, when most people who’ve been around ACW for a while will know Mr. Red as Red and Panther as, well...Panther.

“Friends R Not Forever” (Criminal) – At first I was wondering how you were going to turn on Acid and if it’d be too random or whatever. Luckily it came off pretty well and having Criminal state he’d put money over his friends was a nice touch, although it’s definitely a heel trait despite the fact you wrote the fans as cheering you. Admittedly Acid was a druggie waste of space and the kind of person it’s fine to turn on but Criminal didn’t mention that at all during his rant which maybe he should’ve done. One hugely positive note is that their seemed to be more description in this segment, something which you should keep up.

“The Soul on Show” (TJ) – Some interesting parts to this segment, some that could do with a bit of work. Firstly, I liked the idea of the camera rolling before Kevin knows it but maybe when Kevin’s done straightening up his tie he could’ve given the cameraman a signal to start rolling, just to confirm this fact? Secondly, I’ve mentioned a few times in this feedback that I’d like to see more descriptions to start segments off and the same can definitely be said for this one. What’s Kevin doing as he prepares for his interview? Leaning casually on the wall? Reading through notes on his interviewee? (Unlikely I know) I like to know these things, paint a picture for me. The dialogue was decent here and some interesting back story was provided. I like the “Dave Shadow helped me out” angle as it means people can relate to TJ having confidence issues. What I don’t understand is the sudden change of attitude from nervous, unsure about giving ACW ago to “I have confidence in me and my abilities to get the job done here in ACW.” Maybe he could’ve said he knows he’s got the natural ability and now that he’s finally got his mindset right anyone who steps in his path is in trouble instead? I think that would work better personally. Also, claiming to have “more heart than anyone in the company” seemed a bit off, and considering his reluctance to participate didn’t really seem to fit him. I’d have stayed with the natural ability angle where he’s confident about what he can do but is only just comfortable with the idea it’s what he should be doing. I know he has history as an e-fed character but something like the murder of a brother can knock you straight back to square one. So it might’ve been an idea to have him have to build his confidence back up to its previous level before having him proclaim how good he is?

“Post match segment: See you at WD” (The Red Panther) – Much like Phenomenal’s opening segment this is almost too short to have a great deal to say about it. One thing I will say, though, is that I liked the fire portrayed in Panther when he was speaking. Him saying “I will face you, Wheeler and this scrub at Winters Discontent.” was good and showed his contempt for Criminal very clearly, although I think he should’ve used a different word for the signoff reference of Criminal, maybe Jailbird? All in all though, short and sweet. Shows that Panther has some momentum heading into the PPV and makes him look like a real challenger for VorteX’s title.


Final Note: Just wanted to congratulate VorteX, Criminal, Wheeler and Panther for creating some genuine interest to surround the Entertainment Title. I’ve always been a big fan of that title and for too long now it’s been overlooked, undersold and often pretty much ignored. You guys creating some genuine interest and heat to surround it is very good to see and brings a bit of excitement into the Midcard which is always good to see.

[Jason Freeman]

Fun fact: I meant to have him just rehash that he knows the universe is bigger than the galaxy. Then changed it to have him get it wrong. Then meant to change it back to him saying it right. Read it...thought it was right...and thought Id already changed it.

And I wrote in the joke originally because as I wrote it I couldnt remember which was bigger without thinking of it.

So yes, I really dont know without thinking about it which is bigger, the galaxy or the universe <_< Which is why I got it wrong in the segment <_< Luckily the line works either way >_>

[TJ]

Thanks for the feedback Jefferson, never looked at what the interviewer is before the interview as part of a RP. But the fact with TJ's confidence, it was whatever Dave said to me made all the doubt he had disappear. The problem I have is when I'm typing something, my mind is typing faster then my fingers so I skip over some lines and when I'm in a rush I do a quick skim for any spelling or grammar errors. This is one of those cases. I meant to do a few more lines of dialouge with TJ talking about his new found confidence and basically say it's all thanks to Dave blah blah blah. But I had to wait 30 minutes for word to reinstall for me to start so then I had 30 to do it.

Plus heart =/= confidence. Heart is love for the buisness, and while he may loved it, he wasn't sure if he could quite do the job. My next segment is gonna be TJ and his own interviewer talkin about TJ's past demons and future in ACW

Oh yeah, I know that. However, I always see heart as the will to compete and never give up, no matter what the odds, to keep on striving to do what your do despite any doubts you might have. To me, that doesn't ring true for TJ (not saying that is a necessarily bad way, just that the term heart didn't quite fit for me).

I look forward to the next segment though. This personal interviewer things seems to be a bit of a trend amongst you GWF guys (I say this 'cos Dave had one, not 'cos I can think of loads of examples >_>)

[Trent Wheeler]

Thanks for the feedback. That's something I always overlook halfway through, if I even remember it at all, the atmosphere.

[TJ]

I actually was not apart of GWF unless you count the week long reunion tour that never got started. TJ has a personal cameraman, his best friend since childhood and I'm gonna bring in a guy that CP will remember but other than that, no one will know

[criminal]

thanks for the feedback... u had him acknowledge me as criminal using the street name ex. acid... see drug addict, drug name... also the chastice of the drugs was to show a more grown up side of criminal... probally could have been used a much better way.

[Jason Freeman]

Time for some….

*drumroll*

Freeman Feedback

I didn’t read my esteemed colleague Jack Jefferson’s feedback (besides the ones pertaining to me) so as not to influence myself. So this is ALL FROM THE HEART AS I GO THROUGH THE SHOW.

A Brief Announcement From The Offices of Senator Steve Phillips (Chris Phenomenal) – It’s time for everybody’s FAVORITE TIME OF THE FEEDBACK. FIND THE CHRIS PHENOMENAL TYPOS. A modern-day Where’s Waldo! This week’s CP typo is “The winner of this match will in turn go on to face Jack Jefferson and a partner and his choosing.” Yaaaaaaaay! <_<. Anyways, yeah, it’s fun to pick on CP because he always has one typo a show…but regardless, this was a strong segment. I know what’s going to happen as I saw the later segment while the show was being posted, but if I didn’t I would have been curious to know what is coming next. I do think CP’s heel character is slightly strange and this seems like a different person from the one who attacked Dave Shadow, and all his flashbacks, weakening this a bit, though all that aside, I liked this.

An Old Buddy (Criminal) – I thought it was pretty good. Criminal’s segments IMO keep getting better, so that’s a plus. This won me over though, to be quite honest, as soon as he referred to CP as “some weird creep.” After that one, there’s not much bad I could possibly say about this segment. I actually did see Jefferson’s feedback for this one, and I pretty much agree with all of his sentiments. That seems like a cheap way of getting out of actually feedbacking, but I really agree with everything he said for this one.

Looking for Challengers (VorteX) – I really liked this one. VorteX has done an amazing job as Entertainment Champion, and I can’t wait to see (read) this fatal fourway match. It should be great. This is the first time in a long time people have actually been fighting for the belt. I also liked the part about making it a standard match not a gimmick match. Anyways, this segment did a good job of making me want to read Winter’s Discontent to see this one, so props there.

Phenomenal’s Match (Chris Phenomenal) – TOO MANY MIDGETS. I feel like everyone does midgets. The only other time I can remember it is the one a month ago with Thunderkiss, but I’m sure it’s been done more than that. Either way, I don’t really like the midget idea, so I didn’t love this. I mean it’s been done so much in WWE that when it’s done here it just feels like a copy of that. HOWEVER. I will admit that I found it hilarious when Jefferson’s partner was a midget Chloe. CP gets props for that, because that was pretty funny.

Recapping my legacy so far (Panther – Very divided on this. On the one hand I thought that writing wise it was one of Panther’s best. The idea was interesting enough, and in some ways I did really like it. On the other hand, it felt very sporadic to me. Like, I get where everything was going but to jump to the picture of his dad and then his mom was kind of strange, especially just randomly ending it. I dunno, the segment seemed sporadic as I said, but I did generally like it.

Sit Down Interview (Dave Shadow) – Hey I wonder who gave those criticisms he speaks of? <_<. Anyways, I have said it before, I’ll say it again. I think Dave Shadow is the best guy in the company right now. Everything he does is good. I will say that I kind of miss serious Shadow, but when Shadow became serious Shadow I was mad we would lose fun Shadow. So I assume that I’ll just get used to this again very soon. Shadow pulls off whatever character he’s doing so well, that it doesn’t really matter. I was a little confused that there was no mention of last week’s segment with Phenomenal and Jay. Dave continues talking as if he has yet to strike against CP but that was an attempted strike against him was it not? I would have liked to have seen that addressed, but this was an effective segment to set everything straight with Shadow.

In All Seriousness (Wheeler/Criminal) – The random insertion of an action during the dialogue threw me off. That was weird. I really didn’t like this one, as it felt kind of rushed and a lot of the sentences were awkward. I would have liked a bit more as well between the two. I do like that they are building to the fatal fourway match, however, as it is interesting to see different combinations of the four men confront each other. That will only make things better come Winter’s Discontent when we get to see them all finally face each other in the ring.

Shadow vs Jefferson (Shadow/Jefferson/CP) – Again, the stealing the title during a match thing reminds me all too much of The Miz, Kofi Kingston, and Jack Swagger, however I really liked the opening promo between Shadow and Jefferson. I really don’t have too much to say about this one though.

Friends R Not Forever (Criminal) – Okay. Didn’t really like this one. For a couple of reasons. Here’s why. Number one, a lot of the sentences are again, kind of awkward. Especially for a “criminal” I would expect him to speak a bit more bluntly, and a lot of sentences are way too wordy and awkward. So I really found that a bit bothersome throughout. It was worse here than it usually is. Number two, Criminal came to the ring, but never actually said anything besides reacting to Acid, so was he just going to the ring for no reason? Number three, I think Criminal is supposed to be face, since you usually have the fans cheer him, yet he acted very heelish in this promo at the end, and has done so in the past as well. He seems like a heel character to me. What I did like was that the idea of Acid coming out over and over again to set off the pyro was pretty funny, and that you wrote three segments for this show, which is great. It shows an effort, and some good contributions. I may have some criticisms for your segments, but really appreciate the effort in getting them out there, and as I said, you keep getting better each time.

The Soul on Show (TJ) – A nice segment. Have you written before? I feel like you have, I remember thinking you stole Jefferson’s centered format…was that someone else? I definitely remember the whole way you set up the names like The.Internet.Kevin.Anderson or whatever. You DID write before right? I’m not crazy…right ? Either way I liked this one. A bit straightforward interview, but it was good. The format is a little weird for me, I don’t even really like it when Jefferson does the centered thing but I can live with it. Good segment, Id like to see more of TJ to get a grip on his character, though. Also you seem to fit into that level that’s above those going for the ET but below those going for the world. Since the IN title might be going away I hope you can find a good feud, so you have something to do.

Post match Segment: See you at WD (Panther) – Really liked this actually. I am very intrigued to see this match. VorteX would be the winner probably had he been writing, but he hasn’t been recently, so there is a strong chance there will be a title change? Who it will it go to? I honestly don’t know, but I have a feeling Panther has a good chance. Is Winter’s Discontent the next show or is there a Warfare before it? I don’t even know <_<

Catch the Pidge…I mean, Chris Phenomenal… (Dave Shadow, Jack Jefferson, and Chris Phenomenal) – Loved it. Gotta say. I really don’t have much more to say than it brought some fire to the feud that I was hoping for from the beginning. The ending was great, and the mass brawl was cool too. Very strong segment that made me REALLY want to see the triple threat. Again, great great segment. Just what I wanted to see.



So it's time for Winter's Discontent. I have a feeling this will be our weakest PPV ever but from there we move forward. I am fully confident that ACW is going to pull through after seeing the recent board response and being in chats. We are a community again, I truly feel, and I know that in 2010, we WILL have a good year. Despite the fact there are like two matches at this PPV, pull through guys, because we're gonna make it. Both matches at the PPV that are announced (is there a third?) I REALLY want to see, I must say. I hope there are just some throwaway matches though just to fill the card, but the fatal fourway was built up well and after tonight's show finally the triple threat match has some heat too. I can't wait to see who wins.

ah you dissappeared when the KIA fellow left, he left me use his shit. aka I am KIA so thats why you remember the layout of my RPs. And if you have time I have a few RPs I posted in teh bio forum, kinda hard to read because I use to do a different layout. And the posers maybe be different but it's the same person. Also gives a brief story behind his brother's murder

[criminal]

theres a reason for the heelish things... u will see within the next few shows

[The Red Panther]

TBH if Criminal just attacked his mate who is shown as a face, he would be heel, he wouldn't be cheered. By segment endewd abruptly because as I was writing it TJ said the show was starting so I decided to just send it in and hope for the best. The post-match segment was short just because it made sense at the time, although there are a LOAD of mistakes in it ("I have been Criminal, I have been Wheeller" <__<).
