The Usual Suspects are back?! And as heels?!



Personally I'm excited to see them back to help add more depth to the tag division; with Nox Sports hopefully due back from hiatus soon, Ricky & Luke, #RubyWay, and if Status Quo stick around a little bit that'll be nice. Maybe one more team to round it off...

I can see a referee strike in the near future if they keep getting attacked though. Maybe we need to tone down the collateral damage in these brawl segments?

I would not like to be Zero at ASS V. That feud has been gold from start to finish, I can't wait to see the rps for it.

Always nice to see The Murder get namedropped so many times

Hopefully that segment didn't bury Izzy too much. And hopefully there's some heat behind the Legacy title match now.

Finally, poor Chandler...

So in my lurking the past month and a half I've been trying to get current on what's been happening.

My favorite segment was by far the Zero/Cannon and Zero/Carmine one. I really dig the Carmine character a lot. He's everything I imagine a classic ego heel to be, but has much more depth than just the ego. He's refreshing. Been paying attention to the back and forth on Twitter in secret and the feud has been hot. Heel vs heel can be complicated but the three of them have made it work.

I'm still trying to catch up on everything as there's so much good going on.

Still wrapping my head around Karma trying to turn over a new leaf. So different than what I was used to seeing from him, but it's gradual so it's really believable. Btw, have he and Baum still not hooked up? I feel bad for her. Lol

Dom/Izzy is coming off great as well. I like the back and forth and it's nice to see somebody giving Dom a taste of his own medicine for once.

Page/Scott has had a huge buildup. Really looking forward to that one at the next show. Reminds me a bit of Taz/Sabu, but wilder and much more dangerous for the fans.

Also like the earmuffs stuff with Sara Cochran. I laughed out loud at the beginning of that segment.

All in all, it's what I expect from an FGA show. There's a ton of great feuds that have been built up, and the match writing is top notch.

I voted for the tag match because two things, one it's a tag match and I'm a mark for it, and two I felt it was really close after I read the rps. Duos was great this year and kept me on my toes as to which team was going to advance for the past few weeks. Makes me wish I had been able to come back a few months earlier, if not just for the fact I've never gotten to do anything with Styg. Also I demand more Silk and Cyanide. I loved their stuff.

For some reason Jimmy Page peeking from behind the door had me cracking up. The visual was just so damn funny to me In my head. I was like "Bruh, if you don't get out there and scrap!" lmao.

I'm really liking Sara Cochran and her development.

The buildup to the World title match has been A1. Once again, hats off to those three. The dynamic has been fun to read with these three characters.

The return of The Usual Suspects actually got me kind of hyped. I followed FGA for a good minute before I even joined so I'm very familiar with the team. It's nice seeing them back, and they're def a huge boosts to the tag division.

Speaking of which, the Dynamic Duos match was great. Once again, I usually try to stay away from things involving my characters during show feedbacks and stuff, but amazing job on that. The entire tournament was fun as hell, and much love to Las, Von and Dan because I think we all brought it. Lady Magdalena is a character I'm kinda familiar with and I would love to see her and Sophie stick around if possible as well. That would just be dope imo.

I have to say I really enjoyed this show as a go home show to ASSV. I really enjoy the fact that the tag division has been built back up from Luke & Ricky all the way through the Usual suspects rejoining. The Dynamic Duos tournament was a nice trip to follow, and it'll be really interesting to see Ricky/Luke vs. Dan/Cordy in a few weeks. I hope that once that happens though, we can see some tag teams stick around / form so keep the division strong.

I enjoyed the main event feud, and the struggle between Zero and the NKs. It really lends to the idea that any one of the three can leave in two weeks as the champion, and that's what you need in this kind of situation.

Annie vs. Molly is shaping up to be a must see contest as well.

Sara Cochran cracks me up. I really enjoy her as a character. More of her please.

Chandler/Jimmy has been a joy to watch. It establishes Jimmy as a force of nature that can be anywhere he wants to be on the card, and Chandler's turn has been fun to watch.

All in all, a solid show and it makes it a fun time to be a part of FGA.
