Thanks to Benny for writing Suspects vs. Empire, Armageddon vs. Blade, and Summers vs. Ohio. Also, thanks to Dimi for writing Zellor/Madison vs. Reid/Tyler.

Thanks to OD, Mina, Jerry, Benny, and Dimi for their segs.

And thanks to everyone that was able to RP. I appreciate everyone's patience.

Feel free to discuss.

"Good evening everyone, I'm Leonard T. Asherman." - lol this smarmy mofo.

I loved that little detail of Zero McHannon through this opening bit. I didn't catch it the first time (was reading results on my phone) but when I checked it out on desktop lol.

Opening match -- really great read and handled the no show excellently.

Seg with Noe, Cherry and Karma. That was a lot of fun to write btw (and a side lol in our RPs there was a line about everyone having that one person they couldn't beat and we never talked about anything like that so cool.)


Why wasn't Status Quo "Cordania" instead? >.>
This was another really great read. The back and forth was nice and there wasn't that point where usually reading a match you sort of "know" who's winning, not until the very end.

WELP MOLLY GONNA KILL EVAN.

Forshadowing with Karma 101.

Another tense match, and here we go. Again well done with the back and forth. Several times I thought this might go the other way.


Pair of back to back buffer matches, but who wants to miss Kyle Ohio come on.

Solid win for The Usual Suspects with Rother faking the heart attack - that always wins rofl. Great way to build into how despicable Rother actually is.

Savannah vs Izzy - FIAH

AND THE FORESHADOWING PAY OFF.
Rother really is a worm, it's so fantastic. The whole wrestlescoop.com angle, well played. Then here comes revenge and a surprise, and really if Rother keeps taking shots to the crotch like this he's going to need a prosthetic.

Dan vs Cordy - I liked the match, but I really wanted to see some sort of something afterward between Dan and Cordy. A partner hug, a little argument, tension or support. It would have given it a sense of completion I guess? I just wanted a little "moar" here.


Evan Envi: Fuji’s mom didn’t die for this! - lol he's a son of a bitch ain't he

And the streak is over with a shot to the balls.

Nobody soaks in the crowd reactions quite like SSTC do they? It's like you can almost sense him feeding off of it, their unhappiness with his greatness giving him a boost or something. That was another really great read, and a good solid end for a PPV sort of Vertigo.

Man, I've been so swamped since returning back to work this week I had zero chance to do this until today, but better late than never? lol

First off, I just have to say that the entire concept on how this tournament was done was so innovative - at least for me. Never seen anything like it before and it created a ton of interesting match ups. My favorites were Cannon/Carmine being on the opposite side and the luck of the draw with Status Quo potentially leading to a second round match up.

Overall, I wanted to compliment everybody on their rps leading up to this show. Those were some great reads. Izzy's really stuck out to me - I loved that CD piece with Zero. It left me wanting more.

The matches were all done well - I loved how Tony held onto Cannon potentially leading to some frustrations with those two down the road. Also the Cordy/Dan match could do the same. Tension is always good.

Kudos on the three segs. Honestly, not to piggy back off of Cory, but man I'd really like to see some more segs between matches. They add so much life to feuds, stories, and the shows.

It's nice to see JK getting some reassurance from Noelle Smith, he's gone through so much shit lately.

I really enjoy the feud going on with Evan Envi and Molly Reid. Both handlers are doing a great job on selling it on Twitter and the segs have been gold with Envi the last couple of shows. Loved his commentary.

Thanks Benny for getting that fake heart attack in with my late request. LOL Also really enjoyed the segment that we worked on. God, I'm beginning to hate my own character.

It's so hard to pick a match of the night, I felt all of the quarterfinal matches had excellent back and forth stories. I'm really beginning to hate Annie Dupree (I refuse to call her Zellor) as a character. The way she comes off in her promos doesn't match her in ring actions, for me, and that's probably by design and why I'm really beginning to despise her. LOL

Also, even though he's heel - I find myself rooting a bit for Tony against Annie because of her recent in-ring antics and as a fan I'd love to see Tony's shit-talk to everybody after he got the title. Especially to Zero, LMFAO!
