Favorite Match(es): Chivalry Is Dead.  The intensity leading up to this has been one of my favorite match builds in recent weeks/months. Absolute kudos to Seth and VonVon for their awesome work.

Favorite Segment: Seth Iser. The delivery was...*chefs kiss* It made the match that much more awesome.

Most Memorable Moment: Two come to mind...Izzy joining the "Chivalry Is Dead" winners circle and John Carmichael completely losing his s***. One moment was making history...the other was cementing a person who isn't one to be trifled with (though technically both of them aren't to be effed with!)

Wrestler Of The Show: It's a legit tie between Izzy Anders and Lowri Moss. Both of them shown in their respective matches and have more than earned all the praise they get.

What Do You Think Happens Next: Given that Owen lost, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him be pushed into the main event scene as a potential challenger to Lowri. I'm also anxious to see just where Cordy goes from here after coming up short. A lot of things are kind of up in the air with some people, so I'm very interested in seeing how those paths are laid out.

Closing Thoughts: This show has become one of my favorite events in FGA. So much good stuff happens that it has become can't miss. On a personal note, the feud with Carmichael has been one of my favorites thus far. It's kept my mind off of some crap going on in my personal life and I have just simply had fun.

[Seth Iser]

Favorite Match(es):
Selfishly Chivalry is Dead. I'll get into more of that later. From a preference standpoint, Owen vs Gareth was my kind of wrestling. Steakhouse wrestling. I know what might come from this...and I'm just going to enjoy the show.


Favorite Segment(s):
Carmichael's segment just exudes self righteousness and ego and I'm all for it. That was fun.


Most Memorable Moment(s):
The end of Cordy's ladder streak to cement Lowri's reign as champion. Felt like the end of that coming of age story for the champion and now a new story gets to be born off of it. Where does that leave Cordy and her accomplishments and her feeling? We don't know yet but that's also an interesting place to find out where it goes.


Wrestler(s) Of The Show:
I'm going to echo Savannah's thoughts here: It's Izzy and Lowri. Side helping of Gareth though considering he has a lot of people coming for him now.


What Do You Think Happens Next:
I genuinely don't know. I could hazard some sort of guess but I find there's more enjoyment in just letting things play out y'know. That and I...am kind of lazy to guess this part.


Closing Thoughts:
Okay, now to get personal a little. That was such a strong show...and from a personal standpoint that was such a strong program for me. I'm quite proud of what Von and I put together. Everything just felt natural. And I think the story itself compared to other Chivalry is Dead felt quite different. I'd...even argue it didn't just feel realistic, it felt real...or at least I had that feeling portraying the character.

You just enjoy it more when that kind of feeling does hit. And you can't get there on your own fully. At least I find that you can't. Couldn't have done it without Von. It was just fantastic.

Favorite Match(es): Chivalry Is Dead, the ladder match, and TJ v.s. Cassius just this storyline was quietly simmering and came to it's conclusion at this show. From opponents, one a mainstay, the other a newcomer. To a tag team who would become champs, regardless of ideology, to searing hatred on the part of the betrayed. Make no mistake, Chivalry Is Dead and Cordy/Lowri were the mains here, but Renegades gotta get a little something here.

Favorite Segment(s): Always nice to see Theodore Harris doing the usual manager thing on any show really. I did also like Seth's and Nina's as standouts.

Most Memorable Moment(s):
- Alright, the Chandler Scott fakeout had me and then immediately had me cackling at my computer desk, muttering to myself, "this bastard". So all play to John Carmichael.

- Nina finishing a match with Death Reborn. I'll state what I feel like that could mean down below.

- Izzy taking the railroad spike to Seth and the crowd going from some cheers but mostly straight uncomfortable. That spoke to me as a hard turn, even after the ring bell acting like a tag partner of sorts.

- I dunno why but Auger death wailing "COORRDDELLLIIAAA!" like it's Metal Gear Solid as Cordy went through a ladder, compliments of Lowri.

Wrestler(s) Of The Show: Izzy, Lowri, side helping of Nina. Because here's my thought.

What Do You Think Happens Next: I don't think it'll be Izzy to challenge Lowri next? Perhaps not quite yet? I think it might be that it might be Nina to come for her next. I feel like there are still a few opponents for Lowri to meet. It could be Fujiko, it could be Izzy but I feel like Nina will be first up. Pinning Fujiko after Death Reborn spoke "ready" to me. I do wonder where Cordy goes, or if she has a bone to pick with anyone, and IF...IF this is Seth stepping away...ArewegonnaseeAllisonIserInFGAcomeOnDoItYouCoward.

Ehem.

Closing Thoughts: Some days I really wish I had come into FGA a year or two sooner than when I finally did, and this is one of those times. Because matches like Chivalry Is Dead, Cordy and Lowri facing, Nina and Fuji, Savannah and John...I feel like they all have this certain tapestry that I can appreciate from reading past shows, but wish I had caught in real time.

[Izzy Anders]

Favorite Match(es): I'm giving it to Owen vs. Gareth as it took me off-guard. I was expecting Owen to get choked out. It has always been hard to write out which match is better because FGA's match writing has always been consistently fantastic. So, I have to go with what made go "oshit."

Favorite Segment(s): Give me Seth Iser's segment any day of the week and I'll be content.

Most Memorable Moment(s): Cordy's end. If you can chronicle FGA by different eras. Cordy, in the end, was a massively strong heel that garnered hatred like no one's business. To finally see her fall to the future in Lowri was pleasant. The final nail in the coffin of her time in the spotlight should get more eyes. It, in tow, with Gareth getting the US belt and the two other set of new life in FGA is a damn great thing.

Wrestler(s) Of The Show: I'll give to Lowri. It's hard to beat a legend. Nina as well since that match was her REAL coming out moment in FGA.

What Do You Think Happens Next: I think that the midcard will get a lot wilder with some of the intersplicing storylines. I think Carmichael and Nina are heading for the World Championship scene again. Owen may go for the Pride or find his way getting up to the main event scene.

Closing Thoughts: Good to see you back, Terr. Always a pleasure.
