The Russians vs. Coming To America Comments: Russians ain´t dropping tag matches before facing Foundation Mike Sharpe vs. Ricky Steamboat Comments: Doh The Powers Of Pain vs. The Rockers Comments: With Hart Foundation stil lbeing champs at this point and Rockers seeminglt heading into break out, I guess I should expect heel team to go over here. Barry Hardy vs. The British Bulldog Comments: Squash Randy Savage and Sgt. Slaughter vs. The Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan Comments: I almost did go with Warrior and Hogan but changed it on the last minute, mainly because I wonder if there´s going to be another match betweeen the two and if so, then they would likely be set-up to win their current feuds and thus Savage and Slaughter should probably win here (even if Slaughter seems to be on his way out). Of course, there´s a lot of "if´s" on that prediction so I won´t be too surprised if I end up being wrong.

Good question, would also like to ask same on Michgcs since I believe he was here near the end of last phase as well. Just not certain about the target? Anyway, I will be off for a while, will check back once I get home.

Would you like to share some of those better targets?

Seems I´m cutting it bit late but I see if I can quickly answer a few posts before the night phase.

Doh... well, Finns ain´t really known for their great english skills so guess I fit the mold.

Never mind this one, just fixing some spelling mistakes I spotted on my previous post so that people can understand what an earth I did actually say.

I guess I should also put my vote out there and on the three guys currently having votes on them, The Archer is the one who I feel most comfortable putting my vote on based on his inactivity. Vote: The Archer

atched up again (finally). I agree that the second part is pretty easy to explain but that "Bout time. We know why you're here." line makse me wonder if the scum team actually knew something about TBP or his role that we didn´t? Or was that line just storytelling? Good point, I actually didn´t make that connection at all (shows how good I am catching things ). Was going to ask people´s current thoughts about the guy on podium (and other things that happened during night 0/1) but seems we have moved onwards from night reads (and quite a few have already stated their opinions) so probably not useful to try to start that conversation again. As someone who´s struggling to make any reads, I can relate to you. The reason who I said you catched my eyes is that I feel that giving anyone first 2 - 3 days off based on their playing style gives them too much time to do stuff if they happen to be SK or scum. But you have shared your thoughts now and I´m willing to move elsewhere for now.

I´m not scum, just trying to learn both in and out of the game.

Not particularly scummy, then again, I don´t think I´m yet experienced enough to really find scum even if they stand right in front of me. Eternal Phoenix is one I had my eyes early on since mainly because of that "I´m always going to be lazy on first few days" but I didn´t see much challenge on that so I´d figured it was just him acknowledging his usual playing style. Other than that it´s mostly just the basic who haven´t posted much and who haven´t given reasoning for that like Eliphas.

That´s what I get for asking questions, I thought I had finally catched up and now I have an entire new threat to read? On more serious noet, thanks a lot for that link, it will come handy. Thanks for both of you as well. Always helpful on having someone more experienced to tell you how things work

Drury says that he knows Fun Police ain´t here tonight, likely because they are too scared of Drury but he expects an answer next month. Revell, as usual, seems completely uninterested on all of this and doesn´t say a thing during the promo (guess Drury ain´t paying him extra for talking).

I had heels going over mostly because I felt Smooth could use a win over Queen after dropping the belt on their last clash and while Joe could have used a win over Cobra as well (even more so with Cobra even not being there), the main title feud is always highest priority in my books so hence heels picked up the win here. Next match to be booked was the tag match between Violent Conduct and Revell & Drury. Normally, I would be quite hesitant to put pair of midcard singles guys over newly formed tag team but on this case, Violent Conduct are still considered as jobbers and there´s no space for me to give wins to them at any rate so I´m not too concerned on their momentum tanking. The match itself was mostly just to set-up the angle afterwards and to give Drury and Revell a tag win before they clash with Fun Police again. Other than that, both Harper and Silencer got momentum boosting wins while the angle at the start was basically just filler (although one that I expect to get the best rating of the show) since I needed a long angle. After the show I praised Silencer (best in ring rating and helped Darryl to D rated match), Wolfsbaine (nothing unexpected from him but filled Cobra well) and Queen (D rating on match ain´t every day thing for him but he did rise into occasion here as champ should). Harper praised Wolfsbaine again, after the show, saying that he´s star in a making. I did get that on the first time Harper but thanks anyway.</p><p> </p><p> main event: Harper: 22, Smooth: 29, Queen: 27, Silencer: 25 </p><p> upper midcard: Cobra: 19, Garry: 19, , Seth: 19, Whittaker: 19 </p><p> midcard: Drury: 17, Wolfsbaine: 17, DeMarcus: 17, Revell: 19, Joe: 17, Hangman: 17 </p><p> lower midcard: Borgomeo: 14, Deuce: 17, Hurakan: 17, Night: 17 </p><p> Opener: Bowen: 11</p><p> </p><p> I wasn´t expecting any popularity changes this time around, but Smooth and Queen decided to swap a point on Smooth´s favor. Not something I care a lot since there weren´t a net loss and Queen will likely get that back when the inevitable title rematch happens. Joe also dropped back to 17 which hurts a bit more since Logan didn´t gain anything so that 1 point of net loss from the main event which obviously not great. Other than that, nothing really happened, Drury got a point to get back to 17 while Borgomeo and Bowen both got their usual two points. We actually made profit this month (first time during this diary) with $682 gains. Main reason for this was the fact that there were quite many wrestlers that didn´t appear in last show so out expenced were about 2000$ less than normal. One interesting news that happend just few days before May´s show was that Seth Whitehead walked out from GSW, meaning that I could actually use him again. Now obviously, Seth wasn´t in my plans so I have to figure were he will slot with the current roster and whatever there´s potential storylines to run when he comes back, although any potential storyline has to wait until the current ones run their course.</p></div><p></p><p></p>

<p>Well, I did catch up now and guess I should follow DJ´s advice and post my thoughts here. Unfortunately, I have pretty much nothing as far as scum reads go (not a big surprise). </p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="BHK1978" data-cite="BHK1978" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46549" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> </p><p> If a gun was put to my head and asked I would say that Opulent gameplay is already setting off a ton of red flags for me.
