IT WAS ME AUSTIN IT WAS ME ALL ALONG!!! 

Everything was great, but what really stood out to me was Kev vs C-Bond, very emotional, very competitive, and a VERY amazing send off for Chris and whoever wrote that match deserves a BIG ASS high five for writing it because it was a very immersive read and I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed THAT and I really liked my Pride Championship match, showed Willow manhandling Jimmy and REALLY making her look like a million bucks, can't go wrong with that and I wanna thank her for a great writing performance.

Also...to the ending of Q vs Harter...ONE WORD defines this moment.

Few thoughts--

Holy swerve Batman! Didn't expect Jimmy Page to come to Q's aid; Judging the RP's I honestly thought Benny boy here had dethroned the Champeen. Good job by all keeping that a secret!

Congrats to the SMWB for defeating the Murder. May the odds be in your favor, man! Some awfully big shoes to fill. --Because of this, where will that leave Malcolm now that Bob's on a LOA?

Curse you Red Pioneer! *Shakes fist in air* That was MY moment! *scowls*

Thanks to Kev again for such a great match opportunity. Special thanks to the writer of the match. Legit made me feel humble for such a great match. Mucho <3!

Sean Sands... this is getting interesting. Can't wait to see where you're going with this Spiro.

Congrats to C-Hol for doing what nobody thought he was going to be able to do. That was legit THE most difficult match to judge. Good job to everybody in that contest.

Overall great show everybody. Consistently impressed with how awesome we all are. Great job everyone! Massive round o' applause!

Hell of a show guys! I loved everything that everyone mentioned already. Sands/Owens, the Tag Title Match, Hardaway/Bond and the main event were probably my favorite matches on the show. But the thing that stood out to me the most on this show was how awesome the build was towards the main event. I've never seen a show that put so much into the build up of a match, showing clips from past matches and interviews and stuff, building towards the match. That right there awesome and a great touch that put the match over 10x more.

.....Except Q and I did that for Respect Is Earned?

Gah, first it gets mentioned that only Harter has defeated Q in singles competition and now this? I'M FEELING REAL UNAPPRECIATED. GUYS!

For the last time, Spiro, you didn't win shit.

I'll kill you in your sleep, Nick.

Conclusion of the Grey/Magna match...

[Deleted]

Ahhh, I gotcha. I think that as long as you are fighting the good fight, then the faithful out there should be happy. #oldschoolhonor

Except Blaine/Chandler had it...and Murder/Superfriends...and probably Blaine/Tomkins back in the day too.

Overall, I'd say that was an incredibly solid show.

The battle royal had some building blocks, Jaxie/Mangold, Jared/Karma.

The main event and Pride title matches were well written, good psychology and physicality to each of them.

Lots of build up to Only The Strong Survive starting already. Nice. "Over 20 grapplers"? Are we sure lol

Ooh, Red Pioneer is the chivalrous type is he.

As I said on twitter, the end of the Bond/Hardaway match made me tingle in my happy places when Bond played possum to get the cheap victory. Will it go on from here? I hope so.

And dat swerve with Page coming in at the end of the main event. You son of a bitch!

Prelude:
Interesting…. Will we see Cyncity’s reaction to the anonymous valentine?

Opening:
I thought the opening did a great job setting up the event. I was pumped after reading it.

Battle Royal:
Fast paced and exciting. There was a lot of chaos going on, but whoever wrote this match did a good job keeping everything together.

Dom Harter Segment:
A few words hit me weird, but I thought this was a solid segment. It really showed that Dom has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

Four Corners Survival Match:
I thought the match was well written. I don’t know how everyone else involved feels, but I thought my character was portrayed perfectly.

Harter/Burke Segment:
The walls are beginning to close in. You can’t have a murder with only one crow.

Sean Sands vs. Riley Owens
Nice back and forth. I thought both contestants were done justice and it was a great read.

Andreas Lasiewicz Segment
I personally like cross-fed match-ups and it seems like there is a lot of history between Lasiewicz and Herrera, I just wish I knew more about it.

Dan Herrera vs. Andreas Lasiewicz
Great match. The passion and fire that has obviously been built up between these two over time was clearly shown here. I thought it was a great read.

Thaddeus Grey vs. Camellia D. Magna
Great read. Loved the ending. Thought the match had a really good flow.

Jimmy Page vs. Willow Swaine
I loved how it seemed that Swaine won the battle, but lost the war. This was truly an example of how to make your opportunities count. I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but this was yet another well written match. Kudos.

Hardaway/Bond Segment
Can you feel it? The build-up for this match has been incredible, and now it has come to this.

Chris Bond vs. Kevin Hardaway
Wow. Great match. As someone trying to portray a face, I thought the ending was ri-dunk-ulous, but as a fan of the ‘sport’ I thought the ending was spectacular. Definitely did not see that coming, and I mean that in the best of ways.

Gold Rush Rumble Preview
In the words of Bart Scott, “Can’t wait! You know I can’t wait!”

The Murder vs. Super Mario Wrestling Brothers
If you didn’t already know this, I am a huge fan of tag-team wrestling. This match kept me on the end of my seat and at this point has my pick as match of the night.

Main Event Build-Up
Great foreshadowing. I absolutely love how clips are taken from the past and worked in to get anyone up to date that may not be familiar with the circumstances that led up to the matches. This was another great example.

Chris Q vs. Dom Harter



Boom. That’s really the only word I have for that. Great match. Phenomenal ending. This, my friends, is storytelling at its finest. Major kudos and great work.
