Above & Beyond II Feedback

[FGA Office]

First off, I want to thank CJ for helping me judge the Pride Match.

Thanks to Styg for doing all the commentary for the Scramble Match

Thanks to Nick, Benny, Jerry, OD, Spiro, Bondo, Lasie, Rob, Shaun, Stephen, Jeremy and Matt for their segments and/or intro bits.

And lastly, thanks to everyone who was able to roleplay for the event. Some of you unfortunately are growing through some tough times OOC and weren't able to roleplay. I wish those of you the best going forward.

So, what did you think? Liked it? Hated it? Thought it was just okay? Why?

[Jensen Banks]

I was hype for the results and I was not left disappointed!

Loved the matches and I think everyone who RPed looked strong.

Segments were solid. Bond and Lassie had good solo ones.

Ha, narcotics.

Harter's arrested...took them long enough.

Q is unbeatable, but so is Sean. Battle of the unpinnables.

Hard to pick a favorite match.

Laurel Anne Hardy, can she take Grayson's job?

I knew Bed, Bath, & Beyond kidnapped Justice.

Let's not turn the Panda Enthusiast t-shirt into Gangnam Style, guys.

No shows made me tear up a little.

Woo, I won.

Woo, Bondo won.

Woo, suck it for picking against me, people. Kidding!

I'm going to sleep now...maybe...

[Jensen Banks]

Also, picked the Scramble match as my favorite because it is hard enough to write eight people into the match, let alone make the match great like that one.

A very solid PPV effort. Great RPs all round, some nice little segments and the match writing quality was 'above and beyond'... see what I did there? No? Really? Oh...

A wonderful show, perfectly set out. Well done to not just the winners, but everyone involved. This is the reason why I've been a fan of FGA for quite some time. Glad to have been involved.

[Chris Q]

Fantastic show. There were a couple of nice surprises in the tournament. I enjoyed the Pride Championship match and really thought for a second that Hopkins was going to win it. I was expecting the ending of the Tag Team title match to be a little crazier. All of the segments were really nice additions to the show (the Shoot Kings piece could have used an edit or two), but it was nice to see writers stepping up to contribute.

The depth of the roster here is just fucking ridiculous. Congrats to all the winners.

As always the match writing was great and enjoyed every match. I can see that this roster of guys is by far one of the best collective around in efedding. So much talent and something u rarely see great competitiveness. Some of the matches were really hard calls for the winner. All in all i think i may need to come here more often. Congrats to all involved and especially Terr.

It was ok...

I mean, it wasn't like I was on the edge of my seat reading EVERY match...just the ones where there weren't no-shows. And kudos on the quick eliminations in the Pride and FGA Championship matches, something we don't see enough of.

And the segments may have added SOME effect, building up anticipation and hyping just enough.

And having Laurel Anne Hardy doing commentary MAY have made me laugh out loud on more than one occasion, which at 5am in a house of three people isn't highly recommended.

Congratulations to the winners, Nick, Chris, Spiro especially. Jerry, your rps this week were excellent - as I told Vinny, I was actually a little worried which way the match was going to go. And good work on the segment too.

Also, we're getting a TV show?! I want details!

One thing I did notice, we had a lot of repeated pin attempts in this show lol

The TV station is the same one that shows TNA....WE'RE GONNA KILL THEM.

Repeated pin attempts FTW.

[Vinny]

This was probably the best show top-to-bottom since I've been with FGA.

I marked hard for the quick eliminations.

The scramble match was insane.

I jumped out of my chair when Bond won the Pride title, and slumped when Q retained (be less awesome, Nick).

The matches all had different ebbs and flows, but the whole thing felt like it was going 1000 mph. Totally off the hook.

Loved it.

PS. And as I told Ben, I was more than little worried.

[Jerry]

Great show from top to bottom.

I was a bit disappointed that some real heavy hitters missed out. I hope they can come back when those real life things stop kicking them in the ass.

Congrats to Spiro on winning the Lions Cup - told you predictions mean nothing. LOL

One thing I love about FGA is that title wins can be really tough to come by that's the way it should be. I absolutely love the potentials with this tag division. As I said in my first post on the boards I love tag team wreslting and in previous feds I almost felt like my characters had the titles by default because of the lack of interest in the division. There's no fun in that.

When you look at the current titles and the characters that have them: Chris Q, Chris Bond, and The Murder. Those will all be very tough to win. That's what makes the place fun.

I also like the fact that FGA brings in guest opponents from time to time in big matches.

Of course I am biased, but the scramble match was my favorite. I love the way Terr writes the Tryon character in the matches. I laughed my ass off when he saved Marx from Harter, and quickly ran for his life. I had a feeling that the Murder would retain, but if I can make Benny and Vinny have some doubts than I can't be ashamed of that. You're both some of the best writers I've had the chance to go up against in this crazy game. I am enjoying the hell out of getting to work with you two.

[Stephen]

The show was insane!

The segments were great additions to show and were enjoyable to read.

The quick eliminations added some extra thrill to the matches and added a sense of urgency.

The scramble match was match of the night. Called that one lol.

The tournament exceed my expectations. I had a feeling that Sands was going to win it after reading Spiro's first roleplay. That's why I made predictions based off of what I would have thought before roleplays were submitted. Congrats again. Now we need to have K-Hard vs. Sean Sands in an Ironman match. Book it!

I was literally going to work on Chaths' nicest before the show, but I'm glad I waited. That spinning back kick is going on the list.

Great show everyone. Best show I've been apart of in years. Congrats to all the winners.

I'm working on it...

[Stephen]

*Moveset not nicest. Stupid phone.

Sorry Nick, but you need to stay awesome so I'll always have at least one point in the predictions.

HEY! I had to wear it at least once on a show.
