While Los Pheonix might have won the battle in January, Negra and Desierto say it will be the <em>Desperadoes</em> that will win the war.</p><p> <strong>Rating: E+</strong></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a288/foolinc/TVerse/workers_1/AguilaNegro.jpg</span><span>http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a288/foolinc/TEW108/pics/versus.jpg</span><span>http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a288/foolinc/TVerse/workers_1/AlroyFarrelly.jpg</span><span>http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a288/foolinc/TEW108/pics/versus.jpg</span><span>http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a288/foolinc/TVerse/workers_1/AronChains.jpg</span><span>http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a288/foolinc/TEW108/pics/versus.jpg</span><span>http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a288/foolinc/TVerse/workers_1/GoldPhoenix.jpg</span></p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline">Aguila Negra vs. Alroy Farrelly vs. Aron Chains vs. Gold Phoenix</span></strong></p><p> In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Alroy Farrelly defeated Aguila Negra, Aron Chains and Gold Phoenix in 16:20 when Alroy Farrelly defeated Aguila Negra by pinfall with a Celtic Hammer.</p><p> <strong>Rating: E</strong></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="font-size:18px">Overall Rating: E</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> <strong>Foolish Commentary:</strong> Not much new news from this show. Everything went pretty much as expected, though I didn't see Aguila Negra & Alma Desierto gaining the highest rating segment of the event with their promo on Blue and Gold Phoenix. After seeing how entertaining the duo can be in and out of the ring, I am now banking on the RNG being very kind to me with Negra as I would love for these two to be one of my main tag teams when I get around to debuting some spiffy tag team titles in the future.</p><p> </p><p> Speaking of tag teams, so far every pairing I've made has been a neutral one (and every singles pairing for that matter). While I would have loved to some positive chemistry, I'm always glad to not see negative chemistry. With such a small roster, getting a negative chemistry note would be a horrendous thing to see. That kind of note might be ok in the short term as it probably wouldn't kill my popularity gains, but I would very much like to keep NEO moving with the same level of gains as we did in January. E level shows just aren't going to cut it sooner or later and until I can get some outside help, I've just going to have to deal with the guys that I have.</p>

While higher destiny stat is possible explanation I think that overness rise probably came from the tag match where TJ Sway teamed with Kelly Prince against Chain Gang, as while Sway did seem to start with more overness than his opponents, Prince started with none so overall the Chain Gang was actually more popular (10 vs. 7) than their opponents. The thing I was most suprised was that Aguila Negra and Alma Desierto are the only ones with no overness even after being in two E rated matches that were close to best matches in both shows espesially when compared on Kasper Deamonte who gained point of overness despite losing both matches, one that was far worse than what Negra or Desierto had. I´m guessing that the tag loss hurt them (or at least Negra) a bit since Blue Phoenix likely didn´t have any overness before that match either.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I wish I would have saved a copy of the game between each show to see what what everyone's overness levels were after the first show, but before the second. Oh well, it's not a huge deal.
