Okay, time for a lengthy review.

Karma & Cherry Segment:
-I've been around this fed for about two years now and I can tell that the relationship between Karma and Cherry has really grown and it's pretty cool to see. This was a nice pre-match segment.

Cyncity vs Johnny Karma & Cherry Baum:
-Wasn't the most physical match on the card, but it sure as hell did a good job of continuing to make you dislike Cyncity's new attitude, making you love Karma's, and making you lose your shit every time Cherry hit ANY wrestling maneuver. The ending was nice with Cherry assisting Karma to get the victory.

Chandler Scott & Hadley Herrera Segment:
-I give this a 2/10 because of that rib towards Sands.   Nah, this was a decent segment, but it would be a more interesting one if Dan had actually won the GRR, because I guarantee you Hadley would have problems with that.

Fujiko Mine © vs Noelle Smith:
-I heard whoever wrote this match is extremely good looking.   Lol, it was a fun match to write, despite the fact that the action couldn't be broken up with pinfalls, but only with commentary. Hope y'all enjoyed and yay for a new champ here.

Spitfires © vs Sparklebuddies:
-Solid tag team match. Good job on writing that, Dion. Think both teams looked real well and the miscommunication which lead to Colt kicking Ash in the face and allowing Annie to hit a new move for the win was awesome. Let's see what Laurel and Annie do in reign #2.

Sean Sands Segment:
-

Dom Harter © vs Mia Scott:
-Watching Dom Harter lose just makes me feel good. And I mean that in the nicest way possible because while Page is a psychopath and while Chandler is a massive douche, Harter is above them in terms of how badly you want to punch them in their face. This was one of those matches where it was better a second time and Harter going straight after her to kick off the match and putting her down for a quick fall was interesting, because it let Mia build up an underdog status from the beginning. Mia then pulled off the W by making Harter tap, which definitely had to be a blow to his ego. But yay, another new champ.

Annie Zellor Segment:
-WELL, YOU CAN'T BELIEVE IT, BUT YOU DID, GOD DAMMIT.

Chandler Scott © vs Jimmy Page:
-Great match. [age attacking Scott and trying to wear him down before the match even started was a crazy good idea. Both men slugged it out in this and I really liked how Chandler had his weak moments. It puts it into your head that even Chandler Scott, who defeated Jimmy Page cleanly, can be worn down and can be beaten if the right person comes along. But the match ending was very well done with Chandler pretty much putting Page and his title hopes away with a Harvard Hammer.

GRR Hype Segment:
-Loved it. It made you get a little more hype for such a big match. The biggest match in FGA history.

THE GOLD RUSH RUMBLE~!
-Always a really, really, really great match. Makes a lot of people look good. But I'm going to break this down a bit.
-Colton Sterling coming out at #1 made me laugh. But he got a quick two eliminations in Yun Goeun and Alec Sage before he found himself in deep shit when all three members of MBS managed to find their way down to the ring one after the other. Liked Colton surviving that.
-Zero McHannon racing down to the ring and not being let in at first was actually pretty entertaining. But once Zero hit that ring, heads started to roll. Marquis and Miro found themselves in Zero Hour and got their asses tossed out by him. Then the Colton/Zero teamwork in tossing out the third member reminded me of when Zero and Colt both worked in HKW, cause they were always on good terms. Nice little handshake between the two...and Zero catches Colt off guard and tosses him out of the ring for his 4th elimination. Zero going on a rampage and eliminating Wylde, Kaour, and Richards (who all no-showed) was pretty solid too. He just destroyed that record.
-Evangelista (who I thought was actually going to win it all) comes out next. Followed by Annie Zellor, Seth Lawless, and BATTLE ROYAL GOD Johnny Karma. Good group of people coming in back to back to back to back. Orion comes in afterwards to serve a big underdog role with all those people in there. And eventually, all of them eliminate Zero and send him packing after he gets seven. I would assume Cory had a top 5 RP with that performance, which was well deserved.
-Sean Sands comes in at 16 (which is my last soccer number, lol). And he's quickly attacked by Karma and thrown into the audience for the second straight PPV (which I need to become a thing now) Sands does get some payback though. Noelle at #17 means she had a solid amount of time to heal up, so she isn't as hurt as she would be before. Mia Scott at #18 is interesting and her having a staredown with Noelle was kinda cool. Noelle getting eliminated early kind of stunned me, tbh. But as soon as she's out, Ronie comes racing down to the ring looking for some mayhem. Annie trying to help Mia while she was in trouble was nice, but Karma/Lawless/Ronie tossing her out was even better cause it got all of them an elimination in their stats. Before #20 comes out, Orion pulls a Kofi/JM and uses his midget skills well. Loved that and loved the fact he eliminates Seth a second later too, lol. #20 is Maurice Graham. Got a solid number, so that's good. AAAAAAAAND he gets eliminated like a minute later. And then Ronie gets eliminated by Evangelista after trying to go after her because of Laurel. Good for you, Ev!
-Number 21 is Fujiko, which means no Fujiko/Noelle interaction here, which I liked. Fujiko/Sean face off. Good thing Sean isn't a boobs man. Nice bit of offense there before Karma comes in and tries to help Fujiko take out Sands, BUT FAILS. Scott and Leanne eliminating Orion made me boo a little. They never let the most athletic one win (says the John Morrison fan).   SSTC at #22, with no one in there an ally for him. Tony going after Mia and Evangelista and pretty much saying his SW is the best SW had me chuckling. #23 is Cyncity, but she refuses to enter the ring. Absolute heel shit here and it's fantastic. Having her act like a spoiled brat by sitting on a chair and not going in was hilarious. #24 is Herrera and he knocks Cyncity down before entering the ring, making me LOL. Having Sands and company all look at DH knowing that spear was wild was a good idea, but DH ain't going down easy, assholes. #25 is Cami, who's in her third one. She gets a bit messed up by Cyncity, but the big news is that Karma lets his cockiness get the better of him, allowing Sands and Fujiko to clothesline him out of the ring for the elimination. Poor Battle Royal God. Tony then eliminates Cami too, which is slightly surprising that Cami was eliminated this early.
-Cordy comes in at #26, and we all know this ain't ending well for most, if not everybody in this match. She has her faceoff with Tony before Tony starts getting his ass beat. Cordy saving Cyncity has me shaking my head as a fan cause Cordy's just so blind to everything Cyn does. But Carmine getting eliminated probably had the audience cheering loudly. #27 is Izzy and that's a good spot to be in if you want to make an impression, which she does by taking out Scott and Herrera when she races in. #28 is Tatsuya Natsume, who is a totally new name in this. Tatsuya gets in there and preys on the tired members of this match. Izzy eventually falls victim to the Boobplex (YAY BOOBPLEX), before she's tossed out by Fujiko for the elimination. #29 is Andrew Myers, who's another newbie. WHO GAVE ALL THE NEWBIES THE GOOD NUMBERS?! He gets on his little roll before #30 comes through and it's Dom Harter again. Seriously, who does this guy know? Does he keep trading numbers with people? Anyway, Harter eliminates Myers, then Natsume, letting us know that the winner of this match will at least have been here for more than like a week.
-Dom then goes after Cyncity instead of making her an ally to help him eliminate others...and he's eliminated?! The audience popping loudly for that is right, because holy shit, the actual GRR God got dropped before we even had a final five. Harter throwing a fit was hilarious and him hurting an official makes me realize we may not see Harter around for awhile after this. Mia and Evangelista dump Cyncity out for the elimination after Harter distracts everyone in the ring, lol. Kind of a good spot for Cyncity to fall out in anyway. Sands eliminates a very tired Fujiko who stayed in there almost until the final five. That's a solid performance for someone who could take that FLC next. Mia getting eliminated via Tony Carmine being a lil bitch is exactly why people hate Tony Carmine. CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT FEUD THOUGH.
-Alright, final four is all faces. Chandler Scott already knows he's gonna have to turn the douche meter up when he has met all four of the people in the ring before. Lots of close eliminations here, but Sands eventually gets on a roll and looks like he might get another elimination....BEFORE HE'S BROKEN IN HALF WITH A SPEAR! SPEAR! SPEAR! ...Ahem, well that pretty much ends it as Herrera tosses Sands out because he's jealous he can't grow hair like Sean.  (rofl)Glad Sean lasted that long. Herrera then hits the Final Word on Ev, sending her ass out to the ring before turning his attention to Cordy. Looks like Herrera has the win in his sight, but just like last year's GRR, he's only going to get the silver medal here as Cordy picks up the victory, which Dion definitely deserved.
-Like I said, great match. I only have one little gripe with it and that is it seemed kind of obvious (to me, at least) Cordy was going to win as soon as DH eliminated Sean and Leanne. I still think it was a great match, but it would have made the ending a lot more interesting if Cordy were to eliminate Evangelista and Herrera eliminated Sands around the same time, getting like a faceoff between the final two and making you wonder who was actually going to win. Just what I would have preferred, personally. But besides that, this match was crazy and had me stunned at certain points, tbh.

OVERALL FEEDBACK:
-Love this show. Might be my second favorite of all FGA supershows/PPVs on lineup.

Here's what I think/know is going to happen next.

-Chandler Scott vs Cordy Stevenson III is going to be one hell of a main event.
-Mia Scott vs Tony Carmine is going to have some real bad blood boiling.
-Sparklebuddies are going to face a ready team in whoever wins Dynamic Duos.
-I think Noelle has many challengers step up to the plate to get a shot at her title.
-Zero McHannon knocks out somebody with the fist that's hidden under his beard.
-Dom Harter is getting suspended or at least getting fined up the ass.

And what I would like to happen next.

-Cyncity piss off someone not named Johnny Karma.
-Evangelista and Johnny Karma feud in another Iron(wo)man vs Ironman clash.
-The new guys getting into feuds with one another.
-FGA actually getting some full time teams after this.

GREAT SHOW, GUYS.

"#20 is Maurice Graham. Got a solid number, so that's good. AAAAAAAAND he gets eliminated like a minute later."

Story of my career lol!

[Noelle Smith]

Lots of hard work went into this show, so thanks to the staff that put it together, all the matchwriters and everyone that turned in a segment (or worked on a collab lol).

I enjoyed the Ladder Match with Noelle and Fujiko a lot, nice catch on the fact that the audience would be pretty conflicted as both are faces and so on. Pretty good for a ladder match featuring two females though I would have loved a bit more to showcase the high flying aspects possible.

Chandler / Page was a satisfying read.

There wasn't a match I could point at and go "ew" on which is double plus good.

GRR rofl was insane, just like any match of this size should be. Interesting to see things kicked up as people entered, you can almost see where some things are going with nods toward the past (like Mia and Noelle being shitty to each other) and hints of the future with other interactions. For me personally it was EXACTLY what I expected toward Noelle's longevity in the match! I enjoyed the fact that it was shown that she was limping coming down (as was Fujiko) because a ladder match ain't no walk in the park folks. Try falling off a fucking ladder once, and you'd never think so rofl. (And yes, I have - working one summer with my dad doing some roofing and let me tell you, it sucks).

So EXTRA kudos for that it made me happy

[Cordy]

Kicking things off was the segment with Karma and Cherry. Cherry being nervous (and rightfully so) about her first time in the ring as a competitor and J-K reassuring her that he won't let Cyn harm her. I really love the dynamic between these two for real. I'm just waiting for Cherry to finally land her man lol.

The match itself, was really good I felt. It was a great way to kick things off and it really captured the people in it perfectly, especially Cyn and Karma's mannerisms and stuff. I legit lol'd when Karma tagged Cherry in and instead of going for the double team move, she straight pounced on Cyn. For some reason I expected Cherry to get mauled lol, but it was good seeing some of her training come into play, and she even pulled off a move which kinda caught Karma by surprise which was dope. I really liked this feud. Cyn and Karma always crack me up and this was definitely a great way for it to end, especially with Cherry kind of getting the last laugh by saving J-K from the Glitter Driver and delivering that slap.

The Hadley/Chandler seg was cool. Some interesting developments there. I always wondered how Hadley's relationship with people would change now that she and Dan cleared the air and got closer. Interested to see how things progress between these two.

Next up was the ladder match. It was a great build to it and the match def delivered, although I dunno, I was expecting some more crazy ladder spots! Both competitors looked great though. For some reason I definitely don't think things are over between these two. I just don't see Fujiko giving up on that title so easily. They'll cross roads again sooner than later I think.

The tag match was fun to write. I just hope I did everyone justice and they had as much fun reading it as I had working on it. Congrats to the new champs. Looking forward to seeing who will emerge from Dynamic Duos to face them. Hopefully some of the teams stick around.

Harter vs Mia was great. I thought Harter was legit gonna kill her there in the beginning lol. I loved Dom’s aggression and the way he started out. You could tell he took Mia seriously and he was tryna get her up outta there. Mia showed great resiliency, and ended up making the champ tap. No passing out this time, I guess Dom learned his lesson from the whole Legacy ordeal in SCW.

The World title match was a really good read. Really physical. Jimmy wasn’t playing no games at the beginning man, but Chandler def showed that he’s a fighting champ and put Page away, even though Page just clearly refused to die! Page went all out to win the title back, and Chandler went all out to keep it. Good stuff.

The rumble was sick. Kudos to Terr for writing that, I know that writing rumbles are no easy task lol. Like never was there a point where I just wanted to skim ahead, which shows how well written it was. A lot of the characters looked amazing. I feel a lot of things were set up moving forward, (which is what should happen in a match this size.) I kinda felt bad for Colton having to kick things off, especially after having fought in the tag title match earlier. And then, when the three members of MBS ended up out there together, smh. But Zero came in and just completely tore shit up! Lol I wasn’t expecting him to toss Colton out, but that was a nice little twist. Really showed that Zero meant business. He got that eliminations record, I would say that was def a hell of a way to debut. The rumble was interesting all the way through. A lot of the newer people had a great showing during the rumble. (Izzy, Orion, Natsume, Zero). And I absolutely loved how Cyn took a seat and refused to get into the ring lmao. That's just so her. And I love how Mr. How Shiny Is My Head just clotheslined her out the chair and kept it moving as he made his way to the ring lmao. Dan came in on fire. Everyone was weary of the spear and still ended up catching one lol.

Mia is def gonna wanna kill Tony for getting her eliminated lol. The fallout from that should be really good.

I had a feeling that Dom was gonna somehow be the last one in again lol. He's the luckiest person in the world, I swear! His tirade after getting eliminated was funny. Was surprised that Cyn eliminated him. That could definitely be a seed for something to stem from in the future. Well ya know, after Dom comes back from being suspended!

That final four really had me on edge. Not even gonna lie. Was happy to see Evangelista get the Iron Woman award. She was putting in work for real. 

It was a really good show. A lot happened, and a lot of things to build on moving forward. I think most people have a direction to run in from here on out. Top quality work all around. (Amazing rps and matches.)
