Feedback for Above & Beyond IV

[FGA Office]

First off, thanks to Benny and Bondo for helping out with the scores.

Special shout to Justice for writing the Chivalry is Dead Match, Dion for writing Noelle/Chavez, Paully for Cyn/Dom and Benny for writing the Dark Match, Cannon/Ev and the Triple Threat Tag (as well as doing commentary for matches when he didn't have to). I apologize if the stuff I wrote wasn't up to par. If there's anyone I'm missing, my apologies. Feel free to slap me.

Thanks to Benny, OD, Nick, Spiro, TJ, Von, JC and Drezzy for all their segs/contributions to the show.

Lastly, thanks to everyone that RP'd. Feel free to leave any feedback below. This was definitely the hardest FLC to judge. No disrespect to any of the participants in tournaments from past years. But this was essentially the toughest tournament that myself or any of the others had to judge since everything, including a ton of the other matches, were all suuuuuper close. I guess that's the downside when we've got this large of a group of talented writers on the roster.

Okay. 

First off, kudos to EVERYONE who RP'ed this cycle. Sweet mercy, I don't envy the judges. FLC alone must have been something serious. It brought out possibly the best in me. I assume it did for everyone else. I had a fun time reading the RP's there. Chandler and Karma's roleplays were something great too. This is the reason why I came to FGA. Everyone here have a different style that's truly compelling. 

I've always said that unless a match is bad, I don't like to say too much on it. Most matches are either okay to get by or good. FGA's matches are always well-written. This event, though, had one of my favorite matches in Johnny Karma vs. Chandler Scott. The opening commentary was what sold me at first. Telling that story really helped out in making me really want to read through it (I was dead tired at this point). The psychology was spot on. Chandler got outwrestled. That's an interesting story that I hardly see anymore in other places. Writers just normally make people even, but in all actuality, people are better than others some nights. The amount of intensity in that closing sequence really made Karma look like a world contender. Finally, Chandler's win made waves for his character. I already know Bryce is rubbing his hands together, hyped for his next RP. MOTN for me.

Outside of that, I thought Cordy vs. Sean was great. The ending really set up the night as a huge one. Dom Harter and Chris Q being the major baddies tonight was cool. Jimmy Page vs. Zero McHannon was fun to read as well. Carmine winning the whole she-bang finally came full circle and made an intriguing match up. The next cycle is bound to be fun on a CD aspect. Good booking all the way through.

With these strong shows and stronger RPs, I hope inspiration keeps coursing through everyone.
