Great job Ben. I thoroughly enjoyd the #RubyWay vs Status Quo match. I had no idea who would win until then end (I didnt' even scroll like an arsehole). Fun match to be a part of and even more fun to read.
Nice work on the show overall Terr/Ben/Everyone Else. Loved it.

Good show, ASS is starting to shape up well, the direction seems pretty clear for stuff. Interested to see if there are ramifications for Page beyond just the build with Chandler, not only putting his hands on a fan, but throwing her in harms way like that. If past suspensions for stuff like Dom attacking a ref are upheld, he could be in serious trouble. Of course he got picked as part of the poison for Zero next show in the aftershow, but there's a lot of different ways this could unfold.
In general with Page running rampant, Grendel pushing Izzy further towards the darker side recently, and guys like Aries Reed sure to be looking to take their anger out on someone after a loss to his rival, the type of people in the world title picture right now, there's a big chance for some of the fan favorite/face chars to step up and stand out by taking a stand to balance the scales a bit.

#PageDidNothingWrong
Nah, but overall, the show's been great. DD's has been GREAT. |: And I've gotta say I'm glad Fujiko Mine's coming into her own in being a top character in FGA. And Johnny Karma's always been a top guy with a bazillion brass rings hangin' around, so I like that. I hope the New Kings implode and try and kill each other Lord of the Rings style with someone getting a rock bashed over their head. And I wanna pull Zero's beard off and suffocate him with his own fur. So those three are doin' their jobs, good work fellas.
GOOD SHOW! And #PageDidNothingWrong |:

Fuck Jimmy Page. I don't know if Chandler beating him in a match alone is enough to really give this guy what he deserves. Take him out to the woodshed.
I'm digging the Dynamic Duos tournament. It's been intense as fuck to say the least. Glad to see Cordy and Dan back on FGA TV. Fujiko is legit. Karma continues to be a thorn in Tony's ass which is great. I had fun writing the opening seg with Cory. Everyone did a great job and I'm looking forward to ASSV.

Everyone wants to blame poor Jimmy. Are we going to overlook the fact that Chandler wasn't supposed to be out there in the first place?! Viciously attacking Jimmy and then THROWING steps?! Straight savage. If he hadn't have thrown the steps then Jimmy wouldn't have had to grab the fan as a reflex. Clearly Chandler's reckless behavior led to that young lady getting hurt lol. I usually like to stay away from things involving my character but the Status Quo/RubyWay match was dope af. Intense and hard hitting all the way through. It was a really really good read. Izzy really is going to try and kill Dom, I'm convinced. Tony pretty much demanding Zero to just vacate the title had me cracking up. Kudos to those three. Their build up to the title match has been fun to read, which I knew it would be given the mix of characters. Lots of solid segs and great build up. Karma and Fuji are really shining imo. I love it. Oh yeah, and reach for the Skylar. That seg starting off like a Feed The Children commercial was golden lol. A lot to love about this show tbh.

#RubyWay vs. Status Quo was a damn nail-biter. I think the track record for both teams have bee relatively good in that MOTY candidate section. So that gets the Match of the Night props from me.
Now Page vs. Scott has elevated once again into the unreachable stars. Like now they have to fight with some completely horrid stipulation. It's going to be bloody. ♥ In addition to that, I legit gasped when the fan got trucked (and then laughed evilly). I don't know if that means that Page is an absolute coward or Chandler is too reckless, but hot damn.
Tony continues to be the funniest thing on the mic. But he has some competition when Skylar comes up. She was one of my favs from LDFC.
I'm glad that this whole World Title feud just hasn't been the New Kings getting the drop on Zero. Zero outsmarting them in the beginning was a fun touch.
People continue to get elevated. I'm content. Good work, y'all.

I want to show a lil love to the Salem backstage seggy. Clearly Yun's done pissed off the wrong witch. I also enjoyed the Sara Cochran/Nero Darling segment. I'm really digging both characters. In particular, Cochran. The shift from the tryhard face to her current state has been done nicely. Really loving the continued focus/elevation of Karma and Fujiko. Their long-term stories seem to be paying off nicely. Zero getting the jump on the New Kings was a nice touch. Skylar Cloud's getting the call-up? Let the hilarity (and the Skylarity) ensue. A lot of good stuff on this show. Feuds are shaping up and moving along nicely.

One of my favorite shows to date, Veritgo wise. To touch on my own stuff, it has felt like a lifetime since I've got to work with Malik and Cannon. It has been fun bringing that back all together for some fresh ideas that we pitch to each other. It's a challenge when you have 3 heels trying to keep their heat and be creative at the same time, but pat on the back to those two have been serving ideas and listening as well. Sara Cochran has really thrown me for a loop from some of her past segments I've read, but I like this new heel in her, and Nero plays off as the face very well. I think it puts them both over and sets the tone for everyone else. They've kept it interesting and a good read. Props to that. The set up for Storm and Savannah is a nice breather as well. Shows that everything doesn't have be a brawl to get your point across and show contrast against the person you want to face. Fujiko Mine breaking out of her shell is a personal favorite of mine. Watching her build some confidence in herself and really applying that to the shows (and her RPs) is enjoying. It tells a good story for a face to go on not such a good run and turn that around for themselves and Fujiko is a walking example of that. Hell, I feel confident in her now and she makes me believe it. Her and Karma have a mindset and they stick to it. Salem growing an edge when I'm used to her trying to see the positive out of everything is a nice touch. You can tell she wants it and she's finally standing up for herself and what she believes in. If that's just breaking the ice for Salem, I'm looking forward to what else she might have to say to keep us entertained. I want to see Molly and Annie have some beef. Don't get me wrong, I like the respect feud type of deal, nothing wrong with it at all. But I'm REALLY wanting to see that friendship fall apart and two best friends who know each other like the back of their hands play off that. Hey, a guy is allowed to have dreams! I'm liking this new side of Dom. I think it's amazing character development for him and it brings out a side of Dom that I've never personally seen before. It keeps me interested to see where it goes from her and what type of person this is going to make Dom in the short-term future. Favorite match of the night. Status Quo vs RubyWay. It was just written so damn well and I literally had no idea who was going to come out the winner. Sets up a nice finals too when you've seen what Status Quo had to do to get there, going through a tough match in RubyWay. Can't help but think that Status Quo has been pushed to a limit that Mag and Sophie are going to have to reach for when they face them, which is an interesting aspect in its own way. LDFC call up And of course reckless Chandler lmfao. I was so drawn into the end of Annie vs Page. I wanted to see Page get his shit kicked in and Chandler didn't disappoint in showing just how emotional his match against Page is going to be. The story has been amazing the whole way through and I was hoping the match would happen at ASSV, and I got my wish. That fan who got smacked in the back of the head isn't going to remember anything anyway, so +1 Chandler. Main Event ended in chaos, which isn't a bad thing either. If I had to nicpick, I wanted decisive winners in one of the two final matches, but it can't be helped. It showed that the New Kings are still on the same page no matter what kind of wrench Zero tries to drive between them and it's another win in my mind for Fujiko and Karma - two people who aren't normally a team, taking it to two people who have been teaming. Overall, amazing show and a lottttt of build to it. This is what makes PPVs like ASSV worth it.

This definitely ranks right up there as one of the best shows I have read in recent months. Yes...MONTHS. Everything seemed to flow together to create one hell of an amazing show!
The Dynamic Duos have been nothing short of FIRE! Nothing against LPDI (Please don't hurt me, Lasie!) but the clear Match of the Night went to Status Quo vs. #RubyWay. It was one of those matches where you didn't know who was going to win, it was that evenly matched. This is also a clear case of how talented Kevin, Allison, Dion and Dan are as writers. I'm pumped for the finals!
Tony Carmine, Zero McHannon and Johnny Cannon is a match I never knew I seeded in my life until now. Seriously. These three characters are three separate egos just waiting to collide. From a fan standpoint, it's hard to pick someone to cheer for because all three characters are massive jerkwads. I mean that in a loving way! Definitely one of the matches I'm most anticipating come All Star Showdown V.
Following the general consensus, I am loving the evolution of Fujiko Mine. While I haven't been around as long as the rest of y'all, I've read enough of her stuff to appreciate the evolution. I'm looking forward to more continued awesomeness from her.
Chandler vs. Jimmy Page.......HOOOOOO BOY!! Dis one gonna be goooooooood!!! This is an amazing example of two guys who not only hate each other, but want to kill each other in the worst way possible. It also shows how incredibly talented Bryce and Steve are. For Steve to go from a character as beloved (and HYPED) as Steve Lenton to a raging psychopath like Jimmy Page shows versatility. I'm just going to go ahead and call their match at All Star Showdown 'The Red Wedding 2: Electric Boogaloo.' It's going to be that bloody.....and that awesome! Here's hoping that there are a few 'CHANDLER'S GONNA KILL YOU!' chants directed at Jimmy before the match starts.
Another character I'm looking forward to seeing slay at the Showdown is Annie Zellor. Ben has been on FIRE with her and I'm anxious to see the buildup for the match with Molly. I'm intrigued reading Ben's RPs and can't wait to see what he comes up with for the PPV.
If this show was this hype, I can only imagine how the one this coming Saturday as well as the PPV are going to be. Good show all around!
