PC DUB! PC DUB! PC DUB!

Nice good ole fashioned brawl to start the show between Johnny Valentino & Zaid. Street Fight at Resurgence? Sweet! Although, I would have went with a "Gia on a pole" match.

Andrew Logan is pretty damn detestable. I like how he says that people can't escape him, that he's a thoroughbred but then pleas that he wants a fresh start here in PCW. I don't think anyone is buying that for a second. And I'm wrong. Gryphon is so naive. He's French so what am I expecting. I really like the way he talks though, it's unique. Should be a good one at Resurgence, the card is shaping up quite nicely.

THE MASTER!!!! This match was....I don't even know. Weird is an understatement. Did Sears rape someone in the past? It feels like something sexual happened. Or maybe Onyx used a strap on? A bedazzled knee strike. I've seen everything.

Yea Andrew you feel like you don't belong because you don't belong! Alexa is such a bitch. What did she ever do to put WCSF on the map? Hell yea Omega, preach. Hasn't Gryphon learned anything from Omega? Sure Omega may not be that bright but he's smart enough to smell bullshit.

I like the commentary during the match, good stuff. BJ & JJ are sure to do whatever it takes to win, bringing brass knuckles into this one. Damn, poor ref goes to sleep. Jesus, 3 uppercuts to the nads? I don't know how I feel about that finisher, but it's interesting to say the least.

what

Can't help but agree with Kaiser here. I don't know how I feel about Burke. I'm not so sure that he's as objective as he says he is. NO possibility of a takeover, well let's hope so.

Dylan Kyle & Roxanne Moore stealing Miller's entrance - NOT SURPRISING. I guess there is truth to Dylan's words here. I wouldn't exactly consider Miller or Hess lazy though, Miller does all of his work himself (now at least) and Hess can kick some serious ass. Jay Cruz, let's see what he's about. Best wrestler in the world, apparently. This promo is great, the Jean Michael Basquiat of wrestling! I think we'll be seeing these two face off at Resurgence perhaps. Looking forward to seeing more of these two soon.

The Buck has finally showed up, I assume Magnum is going to beat him down - quite disappointing because I thought this feud had potential, shame that Buck went MIA right after signing up. Good showing by The Buck here despite his writer gone missing, respectable match. Two Boot Salute is a pretty awesome finisher. Interesting to see where Magnum goes from here. If he keeps the SOS belt around I can see him feuding with Omega - future SOS guy, maybe they'll fight at Resurgence? Only time will tell.

I would not want to hang out with The Disciples, creepy dudes. Kid Spartan about to get smashed.

Looks like Orion's new gimmick is that of a rude twat. I guess Brett got the inspiration from me

I love Ace, this dude is so weird. HE'S HULKING UP! This reminds me of an odder version of Festus. Either way I like it.

Nice interaction between Reece and Orion. Both care about impressing others, so it's fitting that they'd cross paths. Orion rejected, that can't be good for his ego.

These segments crack me up. I hope we get one every week. The Master is so great.

Cool interview of Foster before the main event. Interesting to see he isn't caring much about the Logans, at least for now. Foster realizes if he takes his eye off the ball for even a second, Miller can capitalize. hint hint.

Enjoyed Miller being in the main event for the 2nd show in a row, hope everyone likes the match! Miller and Foster have quite the "chemistry", always a big fight feel when both are involved.

Pumped for next week, Daz & Foster vs Miller & Kaiser! I think this has been in the works for months. Can't wait!

Awesome show guys, weeeeeeeeee

[KaiserGlider]

Since the next episode is #10, why don't we try something a little different to spice things up. If you've got any ideas/suggestions about what your characters should do to build their feuds heading into Resurgence, feel free to PM me or the other mods.

[Stratusfied619]

Nothing like a brawl to kick off a show. The tension building between Zaid and Valentino. Zaid mocking and laughing through the blood was a great touch.

The segment between Gryphon and Andrew was really good. Both want to make a name for themselves but Andrew has that arrogance about him that can question on whether or not he's being sincere on whether or not he wants to start at the bottom and work his way to the top. Could be lulling everyone in under false pretenses and could make Gryphon his first victim. As far as Omega backhanding him in the locker room, that tickled me a little bit in a good way. It's nice to see that Omega isn't going to buy into the Logan's BS. The Logan's are like the McMahon's, you can't trust them farther than you can throw them.

Onyx vs The Master was really...odd. It was a match/segment all in one. It was a little hard to picture a superkick to the knee, it made Sears look like he shrunk himself in order to pull that move off. IMO the talking and Onyx laying all on the table kind of pulled away from the match for me. If Sears is this distracted by Onyx he's going to be in trouble down the road. The BDSM/Gothic thing I like and I think that Onyx can do bizarre weird things at ringside that doesn't pull away from the match.

Jiminez vs Comeau match had really good commentary, the match was good, three uppercuts to the nads was a bit excessive but effective. I did like the Finish Him, that was funny.

Anon's promo, don't have much to say on it as it was brief, so I'll wait 'til I see a little more.

Kaiser another not buying into Logan BS and does bring up a good point on whether or not Burke trusts Foster's abilities to defeat him. Could be a little bit of foreshadowing.

As far as Dylan goes I want to delve more into another side of him that I dipped into a little bit in WCSF. I remember Tim saying that he would like to see me do something with Dylan's eyes, so it inspired me to take on this route for the character instead of the laid back, roll with the punches type of guy that he was and also going to deviate from the pretty boy thing a little bit as well. Now he wasn't saying that Miller or Hess were lazy, not in the slightest. In Dylan's dealings with them, they were taking cheap shots at him and playing mind games. In Dylan's mind he thinks these type of people fear him for the greatness that he can achieve on his own because Kyle likes to climb the ladder through hard work and without the mind games and the snide remarks.

Now Dylan gets to again deal with a guy with an unlimited supply of money on hand, just like Mick Money was his first rival in WCSF. Only this time I don't think Jay is going to offer him money to fund the next movie project . Kyle seems to be the ire of those who have money.

I only heard about The Buck and heard lots of praising as I wasn't around when he was part of sim writing. So I'm really hoping that the writer does come back. Good competitive match between the two. Not quite familiar with SOS at this time, but must be meaningful for Phillips to wrap the title around Buck's waist.

I was surprised that Sean Knight has joined up with Hess. I was like Knight of all people joining the Disciples. I was caught off by that. I guess Amos is now looking for a fourth member to complete his stable and he's been rejected by some of the roster. Nice to see Amos hasn't changed and that segment brought back memories.

I see Kaiser, Andrew, & Orion are now gonna battle over who PCW revolves around. Kaiser cause he's the Best, Andrew because he's a Purebred, and Orion because he's the STAR. PCW isn't global enough yet for those egos. Orion gives new meaning to the word self-involved, my goodness.

Ace looks like a wildcard in a good way, unpredictability, possibly mental, it was a nice little match up but poor Sato, tried his damnedest but his hits had no effect at all.

Absolutely loved Foster's interview before walking into the main event match. Insightful and comedic, possibly unintentionally funny, but made me laugh . Always been a Foster fan so great to see he's moved up to main event level, he really deserves it.

Leave it to Kaiser to ruin a great main event that doesn't involve him. If this was real television I would put money on Foster to be the one to end Kiser's reign, but this is wrestling where twists and turns are everywhere and from that segment Kaiser had with Burke, it does raise a little doubt in his chances of Foster coming out victorious. With that being said anytime you're at doubt with what's going to happen, it means that a good story is being told, cause you could be right or wrong. The post match really does pump up the match between Miller/Daz & Foster/Cavanah, have very high expectations for both matches.

Good reads and a good show overall!!!

[The Legend]

Expansion – Nice opener here with Zaid and Johnny getting after it. I like it when a show opens in a unique way like a brawl that sets out. The violence and intensity of the feud definitely sets up well for the street fight.

Pure-Bred Truth – Really good promo here by the Logans. It’s nice to see Andrew back and he doesn’t seem to miss a step here with this promo. I like Gryphon and think he has a lot of potential in PCW. Now for my one small critique, there’s a fine line between giving a character a realistic speech pattern and making it so distracting that it’s harder to read. This promo pushed that line with Gryphon. I’d like to see a few more words completed.

Sears vs The Master – Very well written match, although the storyline with the whole thing was a little bizarre and goofy. I enjoy The Master a lot and wish I could have seen him do more in this match. I’ll also be interested in watching Sears when he’s a little less distracted. Clever ending for the match though.

You Don’t Belong Here – Good promo. If told right the Logan redemption story could be a really good slow burn that could do a lot things story telling wise. Interested to see the tension between Gryphon and Omega. I kind of hope this won’t lead to a breakup of the pair, but on the other hand think that would lead to a hell of a match.

Jake Jiminez vs Calvin Comeau – This was a fun little match as this feud continues to build steam. The action in the ring was just OK, but what really made this match was the commentary work. It really moved things along and was good and conversational.

Anon – OK, I really don’t get this character or what his purpose is. It will be interesting to see what happens moving forward.

Bad for Business – Good little promo that doesn’t really further anything, but just shows more people talking about the Logans and therefore making it a bigger deal.

I’ll Let You Finish – More fresh blood. Interesting to see Dylan and Roxanne back in fedding. Jay Cruz was an interesting introduction. We’ll see how these two tangle in the future.

Not a Patient Man/ Phillips vs Buck – Good promo, if it’s not a little predictable. A much better match than I was expecting and it showed a lot for Magnum that will go farther for him in the long run. This was his first real test and competitive match and it came off really well.

Lord’s Work – Solid work as always. The Disciples are always perfectly in character and nothing feels unnatural for them. I just love their work.

Star is Born – Great promo by Bishop introducing himself and setting the stage for the kind of person he is. Really does a fantastic job of expression and description in the promo and I liked it a lot.

Ace vs Sato – Um, not exactly sure what happened with this match. It seemed like there was a lot of room for these two to go in different directions. The styles of the characters is a good blend and there’s material to work with, but all of the sudden the match just abruptly ended. Really enjoyed the first section of the match though.

Looking to Impress – First, great to work with Bishop’s writer and I’m really happy with the finished product. Second, I just wanted to make sure the mods knew that I worked on that promo as well. There was only one man credited with writing that promo.

Cream of the Crap II – Good promo and the Master is still funny. He has a lot going for him. Not exactly sure how I felt about Sato though. I can’t put my finger on it, but this promo seemed a little out of character for him or at least what I would expect from him.

Main Event Time – Good promo by Foster. This was nice simply because he was more natural and human than he had been the last few weeks as he was building up his status. This was a nice mellow promo for him.

Miller vs Foster – I really enjoyed the pacing of this match. They started out well feeling each other out. Then you got into the meat of the match and what I really enjoyed was that both characters had things they had a clear advantage in and those lines were stuck to. I also like that the surprise of Kaiser showing up was saved until the very end. It really is more impactful that way.

Board is set – Good way to close out the show and build excitement for next week as well.

[Everlong]

Alright! Let's do this PCW OOOO YEA

Surprised to see Zaid and Valentino starting off the show. I like that we're not getting any answers to the whole Gia deal yet. Gia not being there really gives Johnny no reason to hold back, which we definitely see in this segment. Having them get physical backstage is a nice way to build up to a street fight, which I think is going to be a perfect way to cap off this feud. But yeah, I like that they couldn't even contain themselves until the official start of the show, and it's nice to see them moving on to something new in the feud beyond just some misunderstanding involving Gia. There's real heat here.

Pure Bred Truth - I think the upcoming stuff with Andrew is going to be some of the most challenging writing I've had in a sim fed, so I'm glad that based on the first few comments so far, it's being received well. The question over these next few weeks is going to be whether or not Andrew is really a changed man, but also: does it really matter? I'm stoked to have a PPV match with HFX too, this was the first time we'd ever so much as written a segment together, let alone a PPV program.

I texted YES to the number but didn't get a response

Matt Sears vs. The Master - Well with the Master being involved, I think we all know how this is gonna go DazDP yoga... lmao. This is an interesting decision here, to have a mid-match promo, but I like it a lot. We get a chance to learn more about the new character, and we all know Master is going to get squashed anyway. Lmao @ the "do you mind" bit. The knee pad bit was great. I really liked this a lot - it's certainly unique and probably isn't going to sit well with everyone reading, but IMO it sets the characters apart right off the bat here for their in-ring debut. Plus, this was just really well-written. I see a lot of potential here.

You Don't Belong Here Who does Omega think he is anyway?

JJ vs. Calvin - Well last week we saw BJ and Carter go at it, so we'll see how the other half fares now. Fun twist to have the partners on commentary together. I wasn't initially into this feud, but I think this match especially has helped to give it some added interest. Having the guys on commentary was a great decision as it allows us to get to know the characters better. The action of the match was solid as well, and we get a glimpse of the fact that the J Team will do anything it takes to pick up a win. Love the "FINISH HIM" bit at the end, and the Achievement Unlocked thing. The Comeaus are a really fun team, I've warmed up to them a lot.

Anon - Again, gonna have to reserve judgment until I see the guy in person. Definitely bizarre, and the whole "internet culture" gimmick could be something that could either flop or be really entertaining. We'll find out soon enough I suppose, but Rider Cutting is certainly doing enough to keep me intrigued.

Bad For Business - I liked this a lot. Like John said, it doesn't do a TON to further any storylines, but its inclusion sells the Logan return as being a really big deal, especially when the champion is clearly worried about it. However, the real story here is the final bits of the segment, where Kaiser implies that Burke doesn't believe Foster can beat him, and Burke doesn't deny it. I hope that comes back into play later in the feud, because that was a really interesting inclusion and I don't want to see that get swept under the rug.

Imma Let You Finish - Two hotly anticipated debuts, for sure. Since these are new characters, I'll spend a bit of time on this one. First, I think this is the most Dylan Kyle has impressed me in a promo so far. Kyle was a good character in WCSF, but there was always something missing from him that showed me he had the potential to be a great one. I think now, his character comes off a little less gimmicky but at the same time, he appears to have developed a lot more depth. I like the explanation of the scars on his face too -- now that Dylan has some battle scars of his own, that gives him a bit of history and a reason to fight harder. I'm hoping Kyle can hold on to that balance of fun and intensity that he displayed here, because that could make a really good face character. Lean too far one way or the other, and I think he risks being another face in the crowd.

Now as for Jay Cruz, a brand new character I've been looking forward to, and a brand new writer as well, so welcome Danielson. And for a first promo, it was really pretty good. We got an idea right off the bat of the kind of guy that Cruz is (wealthy, arrogant, probably the kind of guy who throws money at a problem to make it go away). There were a few things I'd suggest: for one, he doesn't need to come right out and tell people that he's a wealthy kid from Georgia. The types of things he says, his appearance, his actions should tell us that. The mahogany desk thing is a great example of how to do that, as well as his designer brand clothing. That's more subtle, and more effective as well. The painters bit was great too. I think we've got a hip hop Ric Flair character here haha.

Also, one final thing, we didn't really get a whole lot of interaction between Kyle and Cruz, and we don't really know why Cruz interrupted this promo in the first place. So I'm hoping we can get a bit more of that next week... basically Kyle came out and said his thing, and then Cruz did the same. Might be a good idea for Stratusfied to make a PCW youtube thing to respond to Cruz. Just an idea.

Magnum stuff - Shame that Buck disappeared and it all came to this, but I think Magnums got some good stuff ahead of him.

The Lord's Work - Good segment, but it's a shame the match wasn't handed in... would have liked to have seen more of the Spartan.

A Star is Born - Loved this. Orion having the camera man feel his abs and all that other stuff.. fantastic. Orion is clearly overcompensating for something with this new attitude . The whole "star/constellation/orion" bit is great. And despite us having a guy like Jay Cruz now who has a similar attitude, I think Bishop takes it in a completely different direction -- the whole narcissistic bit has some great potential and could lead to some great showmanship in the ring.

Sato vs. Ace- Welp, here comes a win for Ace! haha. Ace is definitely an odd dude. It would seem that his gimmick is going to be some kind of unbalanced nutjob? Well hey, that's certainly something we don't have on the roster, so good on Ace for picking a gimmick to set his character apart. The whole "punches having no effect" thing might have bothered me a bit if this wasn't a clear squash match, but for these purposes it was a good way to get his character across. Ace coming back "to life" after the match was over was definitely interesting. Gotta admit, I'm intrigued.

Looking to Impress - I like the Bishop/Reece pairing... two veteran writers with new characters, and it seems like a natural combination for the characters, especially with Bishop's new attitude. Orion was hilarious in this segment. ": Why don’t you leave the poor man’s Evel Kneivel and come with me. Unlike this fool, I don’t need training wheels baby… " hahahhaha, legitimately loled at that. But yeah, fun segment. I think the personalities these guys have, as well as their potential ability as showmen in the ring, would make this a fun feud. If there's a match at Resurgence, I hope it extends beyond that, because it'd be a good starter feud for both of these characters that I think would be quite entertaining. The repackaging of Bishop has already done him wonders.

Cream of the Crap - PCW WILL SOON BE RULED BY THE MASTER!

Main Event Time - Another segment where a high-profile star comments on the Logans -- I dig it. But most of all, this just put Foster over as a babyface who's ready to kick some ass. Good way to lead into the main event.

Miller vs. Foster - I think everyone knew Kaiser was going to get involved in this one, but that didn't take away from it at all. Miller as the Seahawks in Denver... ooo damn. I liked the characterization of these two as being evenly matched. I think that does a lot for Miller in particular, who coming into PCW was probably just slightly under Foster on the ladder, and he's really worked his way up so far. Some solid back and forth action. The bit with the chair was nicely done to put across Miller's character. The MSKS counter into the Crossface was sick. The announcers also did a nice job at one point of putting over the importance a win would have for Miller. In general, the match did the same thing their Oblivion encounter did: really sell both guys as tough competitors. This is especially important for Miller, who needs to be looked at as being believably able to challenge Daz if he's going to be facing him in a PPV match. I like that it ended with Miller actually picking up the victory thanks to Kaiser, rather than Kaiser interfering and ending the match with a DQ. Important result for Miller, and it takes nothing away from Foster.

The Board is set - Was wondering when we were gonna finally see Daz! Great closing brawl here, and I love that Daz is the one to get to announce the big tag match for next week. That's gonna be immense: basically the four biggest names we've had in the first ten PCW shows in the same match. Can't wait for that one. Same Bat Time, Same Bat Channel... bahahaha yesssss.


Great show guys. Aside from a couple nitpicky things here and there, once again I had overwhelmingly positive comments, and I usually tend to be one of the more critical commenters. But we've got a pretty high level of writing in the fed right now which ya'll should be proud of.

Looking forward to seeing where this all goes!

My winners for the week:

1. Matt Sears. Really solid first match, good writing, good character progression. Looking forward to more from him.

2. Orion Bishop. Repackaging has already made a huge difference.

3. Dylan Kyle. I think he already appears to be better than ever, now the question is just how he'll progress over time. Really nice re-debut promo for him, looking forward to seeing more.

[Ali]

Okay, the three uppercuts to the groin + elbow to the spine is actually based on Johnny Cage's X-Ray move in the newest Mortal Kombat game.



Was it excessive? Probably, but I was having fun being in the moment.

Okay, I'm admittedly too lazy to do a fully detailed recap, but here are some quick observations.

1. I will admit that I was quite skeptical of Johnny V and Zaid when I first read their bios, but putting them together was actually brilliant and they're two of the best and brightest PCW Originals.

2. Andrew Logan... in the PCW-verse, "Logan" is almost the equivalent of "Benedict Arnold", so having him back is gonna be a lot of fun. Gryphon is gonna be a great matchup for him, and I love "I Want It All" as a theme song.

3. Matt Sears is weird. I did not expect this from his bio, but I am all for putting new twists on the idea of wrestling. This is going to be fun.

4. Oh, Omega, you don't have to worry about PCW going the way of WCSF. We have insurance against that.

5. Anon... I'll admit I'm biased towards him because Rider Cutting is a friend of mine, but I'm really excited to see what happens with him.

6. Kaiser, Kaiser, Kaiser... one day, you'll have to face reality. Despite what you think, it's not all about you.

7. Okay, Dylan Kyle. The circumstances surrounding his exit from WCSF are murky, to say the least. But I always thought he was a good writer, and we are going to make sure there are no real or perceived shenanigans this time around. As for Jay CRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ, I like him already. He's a cocky son-of-a-gun, and we've had a lot of those, but I love that he's trying to pull off this "cultured street" character. He reminds me a lot of Kanye West in that he's a self-absorbed twat who may or may not actually be a genius artiste. We'll find out soon if he's as good as he claims to be.

8. The Buck... I had a feeling, that's all I'm gonna say.

9. I am sad that we didn't get to see the Hess-Spartan encounter.

10. Orion Bishop, this is a very intriguing new direction for him. Putting him with Gabriel Reece, who I really like, can only serve to be good for both of them.

11. Ace is insane. I love insane.

12. ALL HALE T3H M4STAR!!1!one!!

13. Kaiser/Foster, Miller/Daz, all I can say is...

[Romo]

If @ShaneOFan sends me the stuff he had written before he sent to Daz to finish I dont mind finishing it off so it can get added in.

[KaiserGlider]

Great debut by Matt Sears. This is a good example of how to effectively use a squash match to get your character over. And I liked how The Master was portrayed as a complete non-threat, lol. I'll echo Legend's comments on being interested to see how Sears does in a real match. I think Sears can really unleash the writing beast in that type of situation. I think he's got a real bright future ahead of him.

Not sure what to think of Anon just yet. I think it's one of those things that can either be really good or flop if the writer doesn't know where to take it, but I think this is more likely to be a case of the former. It's certainly an original character and I'm looking forward to seeing him in person, so to speak.

Decided to post the show without waiting for the Spartan/Hess match because at that point we were running quite late. I would have posted the match to PCW Youtube most likely if I had gotten it, but it doesn't really matter at this point so don't worry about it. Look on the bright side, at least now Hess/Spartan at Resurgence will feel more fresh.

I was impressed by both Dylan Kyle's and Jay Cruz's promo. You guys are really starting things out with a bang here.

Awesome backstage promo between Omega and Andrew. I wasn't expecting the backhand from Omega so I marked out when it happened. I love the way Omega is playing his role in this.

Very good Main Event between Foster and Miller. And this is the perfect time to do Daz/Foster vs Kaiser/Miller, so I'm very excited that's happening for sure now. I know Prophet and SKS have campaigned for that match, haha. Seeing Daz and Foster team up will be really cool.

If I didn't talk about your segment, that's probably because I wouldn't say anything more than what's already been said in this thread.

Good show everyone. Somehow we've managed to string together a couple of these on the Road to Resurgence. Onwards and forwards and roundabout and there she goes, where she stops nobody knows.

[prophet]

Was about to get some stuff up about the latest show when I realized I'd forgotten to comment on the one prior, so I'll do that now.

Pure Bred Truth - I loved the arrogance of Logan, right off the bat. Claiming that the WCSF alumnus doesn't get to escape him was a great bit of dialogue. We never fully got to see Logan play up the thoroughbred tag and the fed closed before he could really shove the fact he's been bred for greatness down everyone's throats. The character is the most instantly (and easily) dis-likable character in PCW - even more so than Kaiser and even more so than Miller. He doesn't really have to say or do anything for you to despise him because as soon as you see him you see that he's a rich boy who didn't have to work for what he has but rather it was given to him. I wasn't too keen on him taking a bit of responsibility for the demise of the WCSF though it offers closure to that period in time and I definitely see why you chose to do that. I'd rather have Logan refuse to acknowledge the part he played in the WCSF's downfall to piss off the fans and locker room even more.

Gryphon being the one to cut Logan off felt a little...underwhelming. The Logan reveal was such a massive moment in PCW's history and for his first speech since that moment to be cut off by someone relatively unproven was a bit strange. Richard's initial dialogue was really strange to me, too. I know he wasn't in the WCSF but for him to apologize for the crowd not listening to him was a weird thing to say - this was immediately referenced by the commentary team though so it's clear it was intentional..I don't really get it though. The announcement of the match for Resurgence also felt a little sudden, Richard hasn't won a match on PPV yet and hasn't had any big singles matches so it just seems a bit unusual for him of all people to be the man getting first crack at knocking the silver spoon out of Logan's mouth. I think it'd have made far more sense for it to have been Omega interrupting and facing Logan but we'll see where this all goes.

Sears/Master - I really dug this whole match. It was fucking weird, but I dug it. The dog collar's connecting them as they were 'lost in one another' was a unique thing to throw in and I thought having the two have somewhat of a domestic whilst the match was going on was different and I enjoyed it. I'm really interested in what went on between them in the past. "Do you mind? We're trying to talk." LMAO. Clever touch to have Jaden help out Sears in the finale, it shows you how dangerous she could potentially be to his opponents and revealed her to be more than just his pretty valet out at ringside for support. Good booking, well written.

You don't belong here - Logan doubting himself and exposing himself to be not as confident as you'd have assumed was again..weird. He'd opened the show all arrogant and within the hour he's having to be reassured by Alexa. I mean I understand it but I'm not all that keen on it. Ah here's Omega, this whole things more sense now. Gryphon has proven himself to be rather green on this show. Omega not knowing Richard was going to go out and challenge Logan makes the opening segment a bit less random.

Jiminez/Comeau - Quick little match that was more about the commentary than the action in the ring. The two teams are both so similar in personality it's tough to add any comments that'll provide any substance. Still enjoying the graphic use featured in Comeau matches, 'FINISH HIM' being heard over the speakers was a cool moment. Continuing to enjoy the achievement unlocked images too.

I really enjoy these Anon segments. They're fucking weird but enjoyable. He needs to debut soon though.

Bad for Business - Good segment. Burke signing Andrew Logan makes complete sense from a business standpoint but Kaiser does what he does best and began to draw conclusion where there were none. Casting doubt over the CEO's faith in Foster's chances was clever.

Imma let you finish - Lol. Am I the only one who picked up on the use of a Kanye quote for Danielson's first segment? First and foremost I think people forget Zach Cage was initially created by Ali as a wrestler in WCSF and the fact he once wrestled Dylan Kyle is really cool, props to you for bringing that up. Good face promo from Kyle who was popular prior to his firing from WCSF, not sure about him thinking his demise from the last company and the actions of Morgan/Logan were done out of fear but hey-ho. I'm not going to comment much on Cruz's section because it appears Danielson has gone AWOL. Shame though, he showed potential.

Not A Patient Man - Phillips/Buck - Tim I hope you don't mind but I'm not going to talk much about this. I think bringing the match forward was the right thing to do, it served no purpose on the PPV card and Magnum got the rub he was inevitably going to get anyway but a few weeks earlier. The writing has been good as it has been for the past few weeks. Magnum holding on to the SOS Title is a brilliant bit of booking, instant heat and a weapon to boot. Magnum deserves to work with a writer who isn't going to fuck off next. It's been really hard to invest in him through no fault of Tim's.

The Lord's Work - Short but sweet segment showing us just how like-minded and disciplined the Disciples are.

A Star is Born - Here we go, really impressive debut from the new Orion Bishop. I know Brett was a bit downbeat a month back about the character and I was in the discussion when the idea for the new Bishop was presented and it's nice to see you get your enthusiasm back for this guy. Classic heel stuff and we finally have an out and out personality to watch develop. Good stuff.

Looking to Impress - Bishop has already announced he wants to be not just a star but THE star. Reece impresses in a much more laid back and natural manner. The two are perfect foil for each other and I'm looking forward to seeing this feud develop.

Miller/Foster - Always fun to write a match against someone you have history with. SKS did a great job in this one. That damn Cavanah costing me a match, he'll get his.

The Board is set - Foster/Daz vs Kaiser/Miller makes an abundance of sense. Glad it was made official.

[Everlong]

I wasn't too keen on him taking a bit of responsibility for the demise of the WCSF though it offers closure to that period in time and I definitely see why you chose to do that. I'd rather have Logan refuse to acknowledge the part he played in the WCSF's downfall to piss off the fans and locker room even more.

I can see why you'd say that, but given that the entire story of Logan's return is "is he changed or not," there has to be at least some reason why people might think he's changed. Him taking responsibility could tease that this is a new Logan, same with him being a little less assured of his place in the fed. However, it could also just be a smoke screen, and the way the match at Resurgence transpires could feed back into Logan's ego and make him even more egotistical than before.

[Daz]

A different way to start Onslaught, and I approve. The feud between Zaid and Johnny V. has been fairly consistent in its quality since PCW began. I will say we’ve seen this sort of segment before from these two, so it’s probably for the best the feud is coming to a close, cause there’s not much more these characters can do and say to one another.

Pure-Bred Truth – Love seeing the Logan’s back. The smugness of Andrew just makes you want to smack him, or Yakuza Kick him. Either one. I really liked Cage’s line about their presence being a slap in the face to the other wrestlers. I dig it when the more heel inclined announcer sides against the heel. Makes shit feel more important for some reason. Really good promo from Logan, explaining why he’s come to PCW with some nice nods to the history of the character … especially liked the Daz chants. Gryphon Richard interrupting is an interesting choice, but certainly not a bad one. With all the heated feuds heading into Resurgence, it’s interesting to see a match based more on competition, and of course these two characters have never collided before which should provide an interesting new dynamic. Good stuff all around.

Matt Sears vs. The Master – DazDP Yoga. I can’t believe you kept that in. This is what I’ve always loved about your take on things, you’re always looking at ways to make your characters different and bring something new to simming. Just when I think I’ve seen it all, there’s couples counselling in the middle of a match. Tremendous. Cage acknowledging that Sears has to listen because he can’t leave the ring, because he’ll risk getting counted out was hilarious. The love hurts knee pad gimmick is gold, love this couple, love what you’re doing. I’m a mark for Matt Sears.

You Don’t Belong Here – I like that Alexa was portrayed as the more cocksure instigator of the siblings here. Omega giving Andrew a piece of his mind was a nice touch and Gryphon’s reaction to Andrew slapping the taste out of Omega’s mouth was an interesting plot twist. I like the possibility of the “PCW Exclusive” guys being more forgiving of Andrew compared to the “WCSF Veterans” … it could certainly lead to an interesting dynamic down the road.

Jake Jimenez vs. Calvin Comeau – I like that the tag team match between these two has thus far been set up with a pair of singles matches. Gives us a taste of what’s coming without giving it all away up front, which was needed after coming off of the Best of Three series with the Comeau’s and NRC. Decent, rapid fire match. I liked the commentary more than the action to be perfectly honest. The back and forth between BJ and Carter was fairly entertaining and helped set the stage for the team’s eventual clash. The brass knuckles seemed unnecessary to be honest, but we’ll see where it goes. Loved the “FINISH HIM” deal at the end and the flawless victory joke on commentary. Decent little match.

The Anon segment was trippy as hell. We’ve got some characters in PCW, that’s for sure.

Bad For Business – I will say I liked how the previous show seemed centred around the Daz/Miller feud whilst this show has seemingly been catered around the Logan’s arrival. We keep touching back to that every few segments. Makes the shows feel much more interconnected. Kaiser even taking a stand against Logan, considering their history, was a lovely touch and Burke having the time to rationally explain his reasoning for bringing them in worked well. I also just enjoy the interplay between these two characters. It’s so antagonistic. The way Kaiser then tied it into Foster casts an interesting doubt over Nick and the 8 Year Odyssey, which I’m intrigued by.

I’ma Let You Finish - I was a big fan of Dylan Kyle back in WCSF and got to work with the character quite a bit, first with T.C and then a match with Daz. Nice to see him and Roxanne back. Recapping Dylan’s stay in WCSF was probably the best way to re-introduce him, whilst the verbiage and description of Dylan’s changed appearance allowed for some character development. The content and execution itself was really solid and actually a little more polished I’d say, than when we last saw you write.

The interruption by Jay Cruz was interesting. It allowed us to get a glimpse of the new guys, and there’s definitely a contrast between them. Cruz very much reminds me of Kyle when he debuted way back in WCSF, so seeing them oppose one another would certainly be an intriguing follow up to this. There wasn’t a lot of back and forth between the two, as the main focus seemed to be on establishing themselves rather than a rivalry between them. My only complaint, and it is a minor one (and a somewhat ironic one given my track record) is that this went a little too long.

Not a Patient Man / Magnum vs. The Buck – Love me some Magnum. This mini feud with SOS has been odd and delightful. Are we just writing the Buck/Magnum feud off here? It’s probably for the best. Really good little match. I love Magnum on offense; he just has a nice sense of power about him. Some good little hope sports for Buck and a nice near fall of the Reverse DDT. Great finish as Magnum finishes Buck with the Two Boot Salute. Just so Magnum knows, Daz will come for his belt when he’s done killing Spencer Miller.

The Lord’s Work – Nice and simple, yet effective promo here. Love Hess promo’s in general and this worked nicely in progressing the feud between himself and Kid Spartan.

A Star is Born – Orion is about to GO OFF. Nice new attitude change for Orion, getting the point across and establishing his heel persona. I like the little touch on Orion being a constellation, but this Orion is a Star etc.

Ace vs. Hiroshi Sato – I said PCW certainly had some odd characters. You can count Ace among them. Lots of right hands, and simple offense in this one. Sato is pretty much one of the resident jobbers along with the Master, so that’s perfectly acceptable. The weird hulking up deal at the end adds a new dimension to his gimmick. It’s good to see some thought has been put into how the weirdness of the Ace promos can be transitioned into in-ring action.

Looking to Impress – Enough good little segment that helped lay the ground work for a rivalry between these two. I’m not too sure about the setting behind this one, but I guess we’re still establishing the daredevil gimmick with Reece, so fair enough. Some really good lines in this one and the back and forth was effective here, setting the stage for a feud between the two. This achieved what the Cruz/Kyle segment didn’t quite manage, and did it rather succinctly.

Cream of the Crap – This made me chuckle quite considerably. The Master 4 Lyfe.

Main Event of Time – Loved that we came back to the topic of Logan’s arrival. Awesome stuff as usual from Foster. Loved him calling Alexa a bint. So very English. Nice segue into the Main Event for this show, as well as his upcoming main event clash with Kaiser at Resurgence. Can’t ask for much more than that really.

Miller vs. Foster – Nice slow start. Liked the characterisation given to Miller at the top of the contest, just toying with Foster. Miller going for the chair, alluding back to their match at Oblivion was a lovely little touch, reminding us how intense this rivalry was at one point. Great reversal of the Mill Shot, Kill Shot into the Crossface. I like Foster’s use of more submissions and Suplexes into his arsenal as it’s given a new dimension to his matches. Loved the commentary line from Alex about how Daz should be Miller’s mind, not the title. The Kaiser distraction was the perfect way to end this, taking Foster’s eye off the ball and allowing Miller to hit the Spear. The victory for Miller does a lot for him and helps bring him up to that next level, ready for Daz at the PPV.

The Board is Set – It’s only taken ten shows, but Daz will finally have his first match on Onslaught. Couldn’t ask for a bigger match than Miller & Kaiser vs. Daz & Foster either.
