Blake Trask

I like that a lot Cwmaniac The looking off/away thing actually does it for me. It's nice when there's variety in where renders are facing.

tbh I'm just gonna sign her and let future Blake worry about how she's gonna book her

Someone who's objectively got bags of potential and is very over comparative to my roster is about to come loose from SWF And... I have no idea how I'd use them. I am conflicted.

The Canadian Animals - I love Freddy and Edd dearly and so this is perfect. The Tag Team Specialists - old school old school old school The Ring Generals - like Oxford and Bryant, but younger! The Machines - I miss their heyday I have quite a few teams I've made over the years that I enjoy. A lot of them are gen/gen though, so. Ariel Breaks & Maria Guest Ashley Grover & Regular Joe (probably an all timer for me, tbh) El Heroe Mexicano & Haranobu Kobayashi 'International Incident' Ant Man & Josh Jones - pre nerf Josh Jones, that is...

<p>Man, poor Penfold is really suffering with his squad, isn't he?</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Very intrigued to see where the Zeus/Bobby/Diablo story will continue to go.</p><p> </p><p> I almost wonder if we get a switcheroo (without a blind tag) where Diablo sees the light right as Bobby gives into temptation...</p>

Really like Alexis and Antonia there especially Will! smw: the scales on that lady's face are awesome. I want her in my game...someplace. Bison: I like your Brodys there. I have a massive soft spot for Leon and those actually capture the original really well while being your own style.

Too short, as well. Probably the length that did it in.

Having a contextual scale would make everything blend together for me, and it'd also make it way harder to tell what's actually going well and what isn't. Also might lead to situations where you jump from regional to cult and your grades get 'worse' even though they're the same. It's very possible to get high segment/match grades as a small company. Like Vin said, it makes those outstanding moments so much more satisfying when you knock it out the park. I just find it easier to realign my expectations with the company. Once I've booked a couple shows I know what's good and bad relative to what I've got.

I fear for your promotion's financial solvency.

Very curious to see how Bobby with three wishes pans out... delighted to see Sayeed finally get his. You go Faith! The eventual Beau turnaround felt--I'm not quite sure. On the one hand it was the fruition of the story, on the other he still cheated and 'you lay down for me instead!' was... I get that it's a longer term thing and it doesn't necessarily change overnight, but I found myself not feeling as much sympathy for Beau as I would have liked? I think I was expecting bigger emotional wounds from the friendship finally being severed. Perhaps it was just what I had in my head as the conclusion; heartbroken betrayed Skip reluctantly biting back, and this wasn't quite that. I dunno. Not intended as criticism of the story itself, because the long term story had the satisfying conclusion its airtime deserved, just something about the landing didn't stick quite right for me. Happy that Torque didn't get exiled. I like Mimic a lot and I like his thing he has here. Laughed out loud.

Those Trickerion and Drones segments genuinely had me laughing out loud, that was brilliant. Gosh he's just awful though. And this show! Even worse! Ugggh. I hope like hell it's finally the straw that breaks the camel's back because the skeeze factor is just way too dang high.

I really think they should stay far, far away from any kind of suggestions that Nyla's dominant because she's trans. It enables the bigots who want to call her a man and gives them ammunition. There's no good way to bring it up when she's a heel, because any heat she generates for it is going to cleave way too close to transphobia. The reaction to her winning has been gross. Fuel to that fire is not needed.

Diablo vs. Zeus... now that's a match I can get behind. Ali continues to be garbage. Hudson deserves better D:

it'd be nice for the actually lgbt person to get an lgbt storyline. I'd be frustrated if I was Sonya too. She's got that rainbow/pride scarf thing on her attire and that's it, in terms of any acknowledgement or part of her character. The Liv stuff felt very cheap soap opera. 'oh, well I too love Lana!'. Gay for the sake of shock value.

Did that match seriously manage to score single figures? Yikes.

y'know seeing those generic shirts on the Express Delivery flunkies made that very vivid in my mind. full on 'generic security' that WWE has sometimes that are random indy guys or dev dudes. Trickerion and Gnaw may be in the frame again sooner rather than later. Zeus continues to be a bro. I did wonder how he'd handle Diablo. Skip's slow burning possible face turn is great. Ali is still scum though. Good segment here, since y'know, he's supposed to be hateable. What a POS.

<p><em>they hit small</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> oh my god they hit small</em></p>

You do tend to see the same match over and over again, which can get frustrating if you're directly competing with a promotion that gives away 99s on TV between main eventers week in and week out.

I pay close attention to my rivals' shows and champs, see what they're doing, see how well their offerings are going down, study their workers to figure out if they're declining or in their prime, who might be worth stealing. I browse less directly involved promotions as the mood strikes, maybe every few months, a couple of them just never.

Woohoo! Zeus!

I don't quite have the muscle/overall physique for it, but as a tall lady, it'd be really cool to emulate a powerhouse like Gorgon. Otherwise, well, there's Laura Flame and her combo of an amazing look (with that one Jsilver rerender of her) and the kind of striking/throws/takedowns ability she's said to have. That'd be awesome to work like that--I suspect irl I would worry too much about hitting folks for real to ever be a very potent striker.

TCW, but I will long pine for the halcyon days of the 2010 roster where I fell in love with them.

Man I hope somebody kicks Sayeed's ass. Dude's a scumbag.

I managed 21 on CZCW. Missed one very obvious one, one slightly less but still probably should have. Three guys I just couldn't remember at all. Edit: Just did NOTBPW. 33/34 Richard Coleman, man! Would never have got the last one in a million years.
