[3:54:00 PM] Kelly King: Okay man are you ready for the balls to drop?
[3:54:01 PM] Kelly King: I mean
[3:54:04 PM] Kelly King: To do this[3:54:10 PM] The Unlucky One: ... Yeah. o.O[3:54:17 PM] Kelly King: I dont know what I said[3:54:30 PM] The Unlucky One: Just start us off. xDFront Row Seats
[3:54:44 PM] Kelly King: Hello, I'm Kelly "The One True" King.[3:55:15 PM] The Unlucky One: And I'm "The God of Punks," Matt Shanahan.
[3:55:59 PM] Kelly King: We are two of the longest tenured community members on Gaia. Together we have probably seen it all and then some. We have fought and clawed for everything we've ever done, and we know what it was like to be new and fresh like it was yesterday. So we both know that the reason we all do this is to share great stories and writing with others.
In the community, we know that sometimes it can seem like everything you're doing is going unnoticed. No one's paying attention to anything but themselves or the #1 guys. That's why we're here. These are The Front Row Seats. Together, Matt and I are going to delve into each and every guild every... ... so often... and pick out a few of the promos, finished matches, and matches in progress, give our expert critique and review. And best of all, debate. Hopefully this will serve as a source of not only motivation, to be looked at and reviewed, but as a source of postive reinforcement and critique. We want the young people to grow, and the old people to reign in their egos.
[3:57:57 PM] The Unlucky One: That's right; too often are great pieces of work unnoticed. Whether it be because they remain in locked forums that can't be read until it's not relevant, or because people would rather focus on their own works. That's why we're here, to shed some light on things that should be highlighted.
[3:58:15 PM] Kelly King: ... You may have noticed it's BEEN a while since we posted.
[3:58:28 PM] The Unlucky One: Yeah, yeah it has... It's all King's fault.
[3:58:31 PM] Kelly King: I'
[3:58:33 PM] Kelly King: I...
[3:58:35 PM] Kelly King: It.
[3:58:41 PM] Kelly King: You just totally threw me under the bus.
[3:58:45 PM] Kelly King: You son of a b***h.[3:59:08 PM] The Unlucky One: I want you guys to know, that I've been texting and contacting him on a weekly basis about this.
[3:59:24 PM] The Unlucky One: And he never responds. I'm two texts away from driving a truck into his living room wall.[4:00:06 PM] Kelly King: That is definitely not how this goes down. I promise you that s**t.
[4:00:09 PM] Kelly King: Either way.
[4:00:58 PM] Kelly King: We thank you for your patience waiting for Matt and I's schedules to line up. We are very committed to bringing you Front Row Seats because of your support. For your patience, we're delivering a little more content this time, and hopefully the next issue won't be so far out.[4:01:36 PM] The Unlucky One: Hopefully it'll be before the end of June. Hopefully. I think we're gonna have a lot to cover by that time, but we'll get to that near the end.
Promo Time [4:02:15 PM] Kelly King: Aye. Without further ado, let's begin with some promos, which seem to be extremely popular nowadays. I've seen more effort in promos than in matches in the past two years.
[4:04:33 PM] The Unlucky One: Seriously; people seem to love to do a climatic promo more than they want to do matches. I'm guilty of that, I know. My favorite part about promos though, is the part where they're done as a return. There's one man that did just that, and blew me away personally.
[4:05:23 PM] Kelly King: Yes. We are of course talking about The Midnight Role Model, Marxx. Or. Are we? Marxx returned to EWA and with it came a brand spanking new gimmick like a new shiny coat of paint. He wasn't the only one to do this this card, but he stands out for sure.
[4:06:10 PM] The Unlucky One: He stands out, not only because he's Marxx, but because this is a complete 180 degree turn from the Marxx we've known for... How many years now? I wanna say 7.
[4:06:59 PM] Kelly King: Exactly. This is a side of Marxx we've never ever seen before and it makes it so much more interesting. Coming off my own 'time reticent' promo in the same guild, and seeing him do it in a similar but also very different way was awesome. But its even more awesome because he's who he is.
[4:09:06 PM] The Unlucky One: It was almost unsettling when he didn't come out and say "What's up, Marxxaddicts?!" As one of the biggest Marxxaddicts around, this promo actually caught me off guard. I've seen guys throw away a gimmick and come back anew, but rarely is it done through a promo.
[4:09:35 PM] Kelly King: Now, that all being said, this promo ISN'T by any means perfect.
[4:10:06 PM] The Unlucky One: I dunno what you're talking about. He mentions Samoa Dan, Madd Dogg, BJ Dragon, and my personal favorite woman, CHRISTINA PARKS.
[4:10:16 PM] Kelly King: AND Saint Joey. Never Forget.
[4:10:31 PM] The Unlucky One: I remember Saint Joey every single day with a tear in my eye.
[4:10:59 PM] Kelly King: But heres what I am talking about. Nevermind the fact that now that Marxx mentioned Agent 47, some idiot's gonna try and make that a real gimmick, but there are ACTUAL flaws too.
[4:11:30 PM] Kelly King: Marxx is an INSANELY powerful speaker. That is, without a doubt, not debatable. But he could really work on his NON-SPEECH descriptions.
[4:12:02 PM] Kelly King: He takes several paragraphs to say what he wants to say, but he only gives a few words to describe how he's saying it or how people are reacting to it.[4:12:30 PM] The Unlucky One: He keeps it simple, and I like that. But I love storytelling in posts, and aside from his speech, there is little. We don't really see any emotion in his character outside of his words.
[4:13:17 PM] Kelly King: Yeah. He does a great job slowly turning over the course of his speech, but he could have done better conveying the fans turning on him, rather than them just automatically turning on him. They should have been as shocked as I was about Marxx saying what he said before they just started booing.
[4:13:21 PM] Kelly King: I mean I was -floored.-[4:14:45 PM] The Unlucky One: Same here, Kingers. Not only because he mentioned so many old favorites that my head spun, but because of that 180 degree turn I mentioned earlier. He talks down to the fans, newbies, and he does so in such an effective manner that I don't think I could even match it.
[4:15:50 PM] Kelly King: The use of the crowd in posts has always been something I struggle with. I don't like telling people how the crowd reacts to me, or how volatile they are. Otherwise people might think I'm overdoing it. I think that this was a moment that could have benefitted from, not necessarily LESS talking, but more description as well.
[4:16:15 PM] Kelly King: How do you think it rates on the scale though?
[4:17:08 PM] The Unlucky One: On the scale? I'd have to give it an 8.5. It's really solid to me, despite the flaws. It's an epic setup for things to come, and I'm definitely hooked.
[4:17:55 PM] Kelly King: Absolutely, and we're gonna touch on that at the end of the show. As for this, it was a beautiful set up and you can hear Marxx's passion in his writing here. I'm willing to part with an 8.8 on it.
King's Rating: 8.8
Shanahan's Rating: 7.2[4:18:47 PM] The Unlucky One: Sounds good to me; now, I think it's time we take a look at another face from the past that's... Well, he's doing something different, wouldn't you say?
[4:19:37 PM] Kelly King: Well. YOU think he's doing something different. But I know better. Either way, we're looking at EWA, FWD, and AJ Warner for the next promo. A video promo. The Punishment of God.
[4:20:42 PM] The Unlucky One: First off, that's a -very- bold claim. It grabbed my attention immediately, so I had to read it. Now, I fancy myself abit of a history nut, so I knew what this was a reference to. Did I approve of it? Eh. You know what I'm talking about?
[4:21:16 PM] Kelly King: Actually, I think you're going to be surprised when I say I kind of liked it.
[4:22:04 PM] The Unlucky One: I'm not saying I didn't like the promo, but claiming to be the reincarnation of Genghis Khan is a huge leap from "The Bad Chyld."
[4:22:49 PM] Kelly King: Okay, that may be so, but the first part of this promo seemed really hyper realistic. Not the setting, I'll get to that, but the actual Genghis Khan speech at the start. I could actually see this gimmick unfolding on a television screen the way he was talking about it.
[4:23:57 PM] The Unlucky One: I loved the speech, I'll give him that. He gives us all a history lesson, on one of my favorite figures from history. He was accurate and I dig that.
[4:24:27 PM] Kelly King: Yeah. But I think you're right. I'm not entirely sure where he's coming from here. It's kind of out of left field. Especially the people he decided to complain about.
[4:25:34 PM] The Unlucky One: As I read along, I decided to let the reincarnation bit slide. I figured he may prove it, and I hope he does. But the moment he starts to slip into this "insanity," I began to lose interest.
[4:26:30 PM] Kelly King: Yeah. My thing is he is complaining about the younger wrestlers he's with in his position. But AJ... he's not exactly the person people looked up to when their careers flourished. If anything he SHOULD be complaining about the people who have been here as long as he has but don't hold him up to their level.
[4:27:38 PM] The Unlucky One: Yes, I agree. I know AJ's been around longer than I have, but I've seen the character rise up from rookie to iconic status. He's known and respected, but he's not established enough to be considered the guy rookies looked up to, in my opinion.
[4:28:09 PM] Kelly King: His absences had a lot to do with that. I agree whole heartedly that his... insanity thing was a little weird BUT I'm willing to let him go with it.
[4:28:14 PM] Kelly King: He can make it work.
[4:28:52 PM] The Unlucky One: If he had claimed to be the Punishment of God to the already established stars, I would've been on board. Even then, I wouldn't have let this insanity thing slide. I'll tell you why.
[4:29:07 PM] Kelly King: Oh please do.
[4:29:39 PM] The Unlucky One: Genghis Khan was not insane; he was a calculated warlord. Unless Warner's insanity drove him to believe that he was the reincarnation of Khan, this makes no sense to me. Plus, what's with the bear at the end?
[4:29:58 PM] Kelly King: Ahhh now heres where I come in with my OWN history lesson, my friend.
[4:31:19 PM] Kelly King: You see, you said AJ was doing something different, but like I said, I know better. wink The promo takes place outside the arena, in a special locale that has a distinctive characteristic, in this case the snow. He obviously killed the bear and removed it's head to show how brutal he can be. This is an AJ Warner promo. This is his MO. Video promos like this are his true specialty.
[4:32:05 PM] The Unlucky One: I meant he was doing something different gimmick wise, amigo. I've watched his work, and I knew video promos were his thing.
[4:32:52 PM] The Unlucky One: I get that he's proving how brutal he can be, but I still don't get it. Why a bear? What symbolism does that convey besides "I can shoot a bear and rip it's head off?"
[4:34:12 PM] Kelly King: Unless there is a wrestler who's symbol is a bear, I haven't a clue. But I maintain that I think this is classic AJ, not really something new. Is it a good promo? Sure. Is it the best he's ever done? Probably not. But I think it's a sign of interesting and good things to come. I'll give it a 8.0.
[4:34:48 PM] The Unlucky One: It's good, I agree. But the flaws are too strong for me, so I'm giving it a 6.9.
King's Rating: 8.0
Shanahan's Rating: 6.9
[4:35:07 PM] Kelly King: Well maybe you're right. I was recently told I wouldn't know a good promo from a s**t one anyway.
[4:35:32 PM] The Unlucky One: While we -could- get into that, let's not. I think there's something else we need to get into.
[4:35:59 PM] Kelly King: Let's! I think we have a heaping pile of matches to read.
[4:37:35 PM] The Unlucky One: Aye, we do! I'm thinking we start things off with a real brutal one, don't ya think?

Posted: Wed Jun 05, 2013 7:26 pm
[4:39:07 PM] Kelly King: As a matter of fact, we do, and they just seem to get more brutal this issue as time goes on. First off we take it over to the Coliseum Wrestling Alliance where The Number Three faces off against Jack Arson in a Falls Count Anywhere match. Arson enters first and says that Jack Arson vs Three in a FCA match has match of the year written all over it.
[4:39:09 PM] Kelly King: First off.
[4:39:10 PM] Kelly King: Jack.
[4:39:19 PM] The Unlucky One: Stop mentioning your other characters.
[4:39:49 PM] Kelly King: Yes, but. Also. I don't think a single person would look at that match at face value and just say "oh yeah definitely moty candidate bar none."
[4:40:10 PM] Kelly King: Also, Arson says "as his music begins to play" twice in the first two lines of his entrance. Come on man.[4:40:55 PM] The Unlucky One: I get what he was going for here, he was hyping up the match. But I feel like, as you said, that's a -very- bold claim. And Jack, I just want to say.
[4:43:31 PM] The Unlucky One: If I read another match or promo of yours where you offhandedly mention your other characters without any true relevance, I may explode. I get that they're relatives or something, but it's extremely unnecessary. You don't see Nuke Fusion mentioning how he was Kelly King's "Xpac" and has a lot to live up to, you don't see Chrono mentioning his family in his matches, and you don't see Freakshow mentioning his boyfriend everytime he gets hit in the nuts.
[4:44:03 PM] The Unlucky One: Your characters can stand on their own if you let them. So, let them.
[4:44:23 PM] Kelly King: I think Nuke should mention that every post actually.
[4:44:29 PM] The Unlucky One: MOVING. ON.
[4:45:07 PM | Edited 4:46:08 PM] Kelly King: These entrances are actually very solid. And while I still am not sure about TNT as a theme for Three, he DID inform us WHY he uses it, and it totally makes sense.
[4:46:10 PM] The Unlucky One: It's grown on me, I will say. The whole demonic gimmick with an upbeat rock song? It's different.
[4:46:26 PM] Kelly King: Matt, why can't Arson always find the period button to end his posts?
[4:46:37 PM] The Unlucky One: You noticed this too?
[4:46:55 PM] Kelly King: Yes but not as much as I noticed a ******** FIREBALL STARTING THE MATCH.
[4:47:14 PM] The Unlucky One: TO THE FACE.
[4:47:27 PM] Kelly King: A FIREBALL TO THE FACE THAT ARSON SELLS FOR TWO POSTS.
[4:47:50 PM] The Unlucky One: TO THE FAAAAACE!
[4:48:05 PM] The Unlucky One: But seriously. That was pretty awesome; way too early, but awesome.[4:48:20 PM] Kelly King: Yeah, I don't know how to feel about it after Arson sells fire in his face for two posts.
[4:48:34 PM] Kelly King: It was EXTREMELY out of left field in a good way though. I was like WHAAAAT[4:49:03 PM] The Unlucky One: I had to read it twice. I couldn't help but think, "... Fireball? Nah, it's too early... Nope. Nope, it's there."
[4:50:04 PM] Kelly King: Exactly. I read it, read the next post, went back, read it again. Now a little bit later on... I'm not sure if Three was taking a shot at Arson when he hit the Best Scoop Slam Ever and called it the most overused counter on the market, but that post really didn't read well. It rubbed me the wrong way.
[4:50:11 PM] Kelly King: That's the guys moveset, you shouldn't judge it.
[4:50:28 PM] The Unlucky One: See, I had a different reaction.
[4:51:06 PM] The Unlucky One: From the angle that Three is jumping at Arson from, the Best Scoop Slam Ever seems -very- had to pull off. He's not jumping at him from a side angle.
[4:51:12 PM] The Unlucky One: You know what I mean?[4:51:51 PM] Kelly King: I think thats just a matter of logistics. Catching someone for that slam isn't that hard to do out of nowhere, its just not going to be as SNAPPY from certain positions.
[4:52:42 PM] The Unlucky One: Catching Three in his arms for the Scoop Slam -is- hard to do though, because of the positioning of that move. That's like someone diving off the ropes for a Frog Splash, and being caught for a Powerbomb.
[4:53:25 PM] Kelly King: It's definitely not like that. We're going to have to agree to disagree. But I didn't see the necessity of mentioning a pregnant woman at ringside either.
[4:53:44 PM | Edited 4:53:53 PM] The Unlucky One: I didn't see why you wouldn't mention the pregnant woman at ringside.
[4:54:25 PM] Kelly King: Was there any point to there being a pregnant woman at ringside? Did it play into their larger feud? Why call attention to it if it doesn't come up again in the match.
[4:55:30 PM] The Unlucky One: Eh, I can see your point. Then again, it's just adding some effect to the match.
[4:56:38 PM] Kelly King: I would agree if it was funny. But it wasn't funny. It was just weird. As was the confusion about the steel chair destruction. I can see why Jack thought Three would continue to smash the chair to bits considering the way he worded his attempt post.
[4:57:33 PM] The Unlucky One: I didn't. Three states that he would attempt to keep hitting Arson, even if he moved.
[4:58:40 PM] Kelly King: No, reread it. He says "If that didn't work, or even if it did, Three would continue to swing the chair down until the brackets holding it together broke, and the frame bent beyond use."
[4:59:19 PM] The Unlucky One: I think we all knew he was going to be aiming that at Arson, not just bashing the ground.
[4:59:46 PM] Kelly King: I think Jack and I are proof otherwise of your theory.
[5:00:02 PM] The Unlucky One: Moving on, I've got a knitpicking complaint here.
[5:00:25 PM] Kelly King: Okay, because after this moment I feel like the match turns around, but I also have one last thing to say from this section too.
[5:00:30 PM] The Unlucky One: In all my years of watching wrestling, I've never heard a chairshot make a "Bing" noise.
[5:00:46 PM] Kelly King: Hahahaha I am glad you said that and not me. It's not what I was going to say, but its a damned good point.
[5:00:58 PM] Kelly King: Maybe Jack was using the search engine at the same time as he was wrestling.[5:01:17 PM] The Unlucky One: Not even if you smack it against the ringposts. Bing is not the sound you're going to hear.
[5:02:04 PM] Kelly King: No, it's not. One of my last nitpicks about the match is that... Listen. Three is an amazing poster. But one post he says he doesn't need weapons to hurt Arson. And then next post, he goes and grabs a chair.
[5:02:05 PM] Kelly King: Come on man.
[5:02:23 PM] Kelly King: Which is it.[5:02:44 PM] The Unlucky One: ... Huh. I didn't notice that.
[5:03:15 PM] Kelly King: Yeah. It's a small thing, but it's still a thing to me. Either way, the match goes WAAAAY Uphill from here.
[5:03:45 PM] The Unlucky One: I want to get Three in a singles match where no weapons are allowed, but have chairs all over the place. Just to see what happens. Anyways; as you said, the match actually begins to captivate after all that nonsense.
[5:04:30 PM] Kelly King: Yeah. And man, credit where it's due to Angel. He manages to seriously hang with Three who is arguably one of the best post-to-post RPers around right now.
[5:05:39 PM] The Unlucky One: I gotta say, he takes a solid beating and keeps up with Three, but doesn't give up in the process. I couldn't help but think that the match was going to end early when he dragged out the bed of nails, but Jack fought back and narrowly escaped that fate.
[5:05:56 PM] Kelly King: ******** yeah. And oh my god.
[5:06:01 PM] Kelly King: When Three gets hit with the chair.
[5:06:07 PM] Kelly King: Arson and I had the same ******** reaction.
[5:06:13 PM] Kelly King: "NOPE. NOPE. ******** THIS"
[5:06:28 PM] Kelly King: Three's selling is -priceless- and Arson's SELLING of his selling is HILARIOUS.
[5:07:24 PM] The Unlucky One: I gotta agree, both men worked well together on this spot. I particularly like how Jack manages to trick him and gets a shot in on Three's ribs. Nice touch there.
[5:07:42 PM] The Unlucky One: But you know what I really loved here?[5:07:50 PM] Kelly King: Please tell me its the camera phone spot.
[5:07:56 PM] The Unlucky One: I'm not quite there yet.
[5:08:02 PM] Kelly King: Oh?
[5:08:12 PM] The Unlucky One: We got to see some vintage Mick Foley with that double-underhook DDT onto the chair.
[5:08:23 PM] The Unlucky One: As a Foley fan, I sincerely enjoyed that.[5:08:34 PM] Kelly King: So all I need to do to please you is pull a sock out of my pants?
[5:09:03 PM] The Unlucky One: I wish I had a comeback to that one.
[5:09:15 PM] The Unlucky One: But... I got nothing. Moving on![5:09:23 PM] Kelly King: Camera phooooone.
[5:09:59 PM] The Unlucky One: This camera phone spot was pretty awesome. Three gives no ********, and bashes it into Jack's head. Jack's selling is the best part though.
[5:10:49 PM] The Unlucky One: It's not just "Ow, he hit me with a phone." No, Jack gets his eyebrow cut open in the process. Kudos.[5:11:17 PM] Kelly King: Yeah, and blames CWA management for the replacement of the device.
[5:11:19 PM] Kelly King: Good work.
[5:12:13 PM] Kelly King: And then they both fall off the balcony. Awesome. Just like the fans said. I kind of had a hard time figuring out EXACTLY where they were between posts as they moved around so fast, but it is a minor detractor to the awesome spots.[5:13:09 PM] The Unlucky One: Part of me knew that at some point, they were going off the balcony. After all, the first Three match we looked at had him diving off of it. I enjoyed this, but mainly because Three sells it -so- much better than last time.
[5:13:31 PM] Kelly King: evil
[5:13:33 PM] Kelly King: laughter[5:14:24 PM] The Unlucky One: Yes, but he gets a dislocated shoulder and doesn't get up immediately. That's some pretty solid selling there. Not the best, but solid.[5:15:10 PM] Kelly King: Ah his dislocated shoulder. Yes. It becomes a bit of a plot device later too.
[5:15:42 PM] The Unlucky One: We'll get to that. Anyways, even after that long fall, these two aren't satisfied with the amount of spots just yet.
[5:16:08 PM] Kelly King: No, of course not. Because falling of a balcony isn't a logical way to end a falls count anywhere match... well. Okay.
[5:16:10 PM] Kelly King: Maybe it IS.
[5:16:16 PM] Kelly King: But not for these two apparently.[5:16:45 PM] The Unlucky One: Just a side note, really glad Angel incorporates some links into his posts for those that don't know the moves. I'm not familiar with every kind of Armbar, so that helped.
[5:17:16 PM] Kelly King: Yeah, although a double knee armbreaker seems weird for him to use because I was under the impression he was a bigger wrestler, not really a jumper or a technician. I suppose I am wrong.
[5:18:21 PM] The Unlucky One: I don't know his characters very well, so I couldn't tell you. But even with him working away at that arm, it turns out to work against him when Three proves that he can still fight back after having that arm dislocated AGAIN.
[5:18:48 PM] Kelly King: APPARENTLY a discloated arm isn't a big deal to the monster known only as a number.
[5:19:32 PM] The Unlucky One: I think his shoulder would disagree.
[5:19:41 PM] Kelly King: In fact, not even a god. damned. Firebomb puts Three away. And this is AFTER Three does a ******** sickening, stomach churning post where he forces his spagetti limbed arm BACK into place.
[5:20:20 PM] The Unlucky One: A Firebomb through the AV table. That's a lot of electrical equipment, damn it. They're costing CWA a fortune in this match.
[5:20:35 PM] Kelly King: This is the real reason they went out of business.
[5:20:41 PM] Kelly King: Legal fees and tech repairs.[5:20:45 PM] The Unlucky One: Goddamn it, Three.
[5:20:50 PM] The Unlucky One: It's your fault.[5:21:36 PM] Kelly King: Personal note, one of my many created characters uses the Firebomb as a finisher, but I haven't used him in ages so I love seeing the move live on. Its nice and unique. Three, however, is above that nonsense.
[5:22:04 PM] The Unlucky One: Abooooove it. But he's not above being thrown onto his own bed of nails.
[5:23:20 PM] Kelly King: What amazed me is Three fell into this bed. He fell off the balcony. He dislocated his shoulder twice. But Arson fell onto the bed, and then took a simple... okay not so simple Elbow Drop.
[5:23:25 PM] Kelly King: And that was it.
[5:23:38 PM] Kelly King: I'm really not complaining like it sounds, I love the fact that Three finished this match with an elbow.
[5:23:48 PM] Kelly King: It's elegant for such a monster.[5:24:13 PM] The Unlucky One: The ending made me cringe. Jack trying to escape only dug himself deeper down onto those nails. And Three landing on top of him?
[5:24:55 PM] The Unlucky One: I had this visual of the nails piercing into Jack's bones for some reason. Sickening, man. But it was a solid finish to the match. I would've liked to see Arson get to use his flaming table though.[5:25:21 PM] Kelly King: I think it was fine without the fire getting involved. If Three had gone through that, it would have been over for Three, bar none.
[5:25:31 PM] Kelly King: It was a nice red herring. And honestly?
[5:25:50 PM] Kelly King: Angel's last post in this match... if it's the last thing people remember CWA for, then it was a damned good way to go out.[5:26:53 PM] The Unlucky One: I agree. What I like about this is that he proves this character -can- stand on his own. He isn't just a jobber, and that's what Angel needs. He needs a character that can live on their own without being tied to his other ones.
[5:27:02 PM] The Unlucky One: -cough- Get rid of Angel, Arson is better. -cough-[5:27:55 PM] Kelly King: I do like Jack Arson. And I love Three. And I loved this match. I hear CWA may be going out of business, if only for a bit, and I submit that this is the match that it should hold out as a stand out for it's last PPV. There are other great matches, but this one represents CWA very well.
[5:28:56 PM] Kelly King: I'm going to say that the way this match escalated, it was well worth a 9, but the fact remains that the beginning was... eh. So I'm going to give it an 8.1
[5:30:28 PM] The Unlucky One: This is a solid match, and it's a testament that Angel has improved, even though he still has a lot of ground to cover. I'm excited to see what he can do with this Jack Arson character. Three, you know he has my praise. The start to this match dragged it down abit too far for me though, and the ending relied too heavily on their spots. I gotta give it a 7.1.
[5:31:37 PM] Kelly King: A smoking tron, a bed of nails, a table on fire, chairs splintered, stairs broken, broken bones and broken dreams. Blood, sweat, tears.
If you have what it takes, then step in the ring...but be warned that it will not be an easy road to travel...the Coliseum is unforgiving.
We salute you, CWA.
[5:32:28 PM] The Unlucky One: CWA is a great indy guild with an epic gimmick. I pray it's not done forever. A moment of silence?
King's Rating: 8.1

[5:34:38 PM] Kelly King: Now that we're done rating a great Number Three match, lest move onto WWE:E where we can rate a great Number Three match.
[5:35:59 PM] The Unlucky One: I feel like Three's been all over the place lately. This guy can't be stopped, let's hope it stays that way. Over on the Mainstream side of Gaia, we got The Number Three out to prove himself after losing to Salem Croft, while we also have Jacob Griffin mounting a comeback.
[5:36:43 PM] Kelly King: The story of two guys who both want to go up the ladder and are forced to go against each other. Something's gotta give. Honestly, I'm kind of sad they had to go against each other. I didn't want either of them to lose.
[5:37:52 PM] The Unlucky One: I'm not, I'm all for two great competitors duking it out. However, there's something I wanna mention, and this is really knit-picky of me.
[5:38:36 PM] The Unlucky One: A lot of people seem to think that Disturbed and Metallica themes are the way to go. I get that they can fit your character, but there's tons of other music just waiting to grace your ears![5:39:32 PM] Kelly King: Oh, I don't mind. A lot of people, when it comes to music, complain when the same band is picked. I am pretty sure song for song Metallica is Gaia's favorite band. I don't mind as long as you REALLY THINK that song is good for your character. Sometimes, I will disagree, but whatever.
[5:39:43 PM] Kelly King: My nitpicks begin with this being a Cage match.
[5:39:48 PM] Kelly King: Which Three was literally just in.[5:39:53 PM] The Unlucky One: No he wasn't.
[5:40:05 PM] Kelly King: Okay, it wasn't a LEGAL cage match.
[5:40:09 PM] Kelly King: But there was a god damned cage.[5:40:28 PM] The Unlucky One: He was in a triple threat that he -made- a cage match near the end. If you read his pre-match speech, he states that management decided he would get the cage match he wanted.
[5:40:46 PM | Edited 5:40:54 PM] Kelly King: Thats like saying "oh Kane vs Steve Austin first blood wasn't a hell in a cell match, but the match took place INSIDE the cell so really."
[5:41:26 PM] The Unlucky One: ... Moving on, I like how Three continues to pretend like Bison isn't a threat at all.
[5:41:41 PM] Kelly King: Yes, continuity is the best. And hilarious continuity is the best of the best.
[5:41:57 PM] Kelly King: Can I go on record as saying I prefer Three's posts when they are formatted in his normal style?[5:42:10 PM] The Unlucky One: You mean the small, blue font?
[5:42:21 PM] Kelly King: I understand why he posts default formatting some times, I really do, but it seems so much more THREE when its small and blue.
[5:42:35 PM] The Unlucky One: With a demon on the side of it.
[5:42:56 PM] The Unlucky One: And fire underneath the post. And a demonic laugh playing through my speakers as I read it.[5:43:02 PM] Kelly King: UH.
[5:43:03 PM] The Unlucky One: ... Or, just small and blue.
[5:43:06 PM] Kelly King: I DONT THINK THATS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.
[5:43:10 PM] Kelly King: YOU MAY WANT TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE.[5:43:32 PM] The Unlucky One: ... Naaaaaaaaaaaah.
[5:43:47 PM] Kelly King: Okay so. Is Jacob Griffin actually Jacob Meyer?
[5:43:56 PM] The Unlucky One: I... You see, I've asked this for over a year now.
[5:44:04 PM] Kelly King: No straight answers yet?
[5:44:29 PM] The Unlucky One: If there have been, I haven't heard them. But either way, Griffin wastes no time to go on the assault.
[5:45:09 PM] Kelly King: Aye. It's good to see two talented writers going at it. One I know pretty well history wise and one that I love watching.
[5:46:24 PM] The Unlucky One: Talented and quick on their feet, too. Three's use of the chair as a shield was something I wasn't expecting in this encounter; I was sure Jacob was going to get the upperhand here.
[5:46:37 PM] Kelly King: Yeah, but he doesn't until the dodged knee.
[5:46:56 PM] Kelly King: And if there is one thing I can pick about Three's character that I DONT like... it's selling consistency.
[5:47:55 PM | Edited 5:49:24 PM] Kelly King: In the previous match, he took a chair to the cranium and kept walking. In this one, he hit his knee and Griffin is able to take advantage of him immediately. I KNOW THAT ITS WRESTLING AND THE PSYCHOLOGY ISNT SET IN STONE. AND IM PROBABLY OVER ANALYZING IT BECAUSE I READ THESE MATCHES BACK TO BACK. I would hate if Three was consistent and no sold everything.
[5:48:03 PM] Kelly King: But the irony of the situation still stood out to me.[5:49:25 PM] The Unlucky One: You see, I had a problem with this one too. I'm glad he sold it, but I feel like his character needs to sell a -tad- more with the big moments. But hey, separate matches call for separate measures.
[5:49:47 PM] Kelly King: I agree, I really do, but it was so odd to see it play out the way it did.
[5:50:38 PM] The Unlucky One: Aye; let's be honest, this match wasn't entirely spot filled. Besides the camel clutch Three puts on Griffin, the first two pages are mainly Jacob wearing down that knee little by little.
[5:51:05 PM] Kelly King: Yes, but kudos to them in doing the little strike struggle during that moment when Griffin is trying to damage his opponents injured knee.
[5:51:17 PM] Kelly King: I read it EXACTLY how it would have played out and could totally see it happening in real life.[5:51:46 PM] The Unlucky One: It flowed very well, suprisingly. I didn't really notice any bits that -didn't- flow well though.
[5:52:05 PM] The Unlucky One: I have something I want to go back to though, for just a moment.[5:52:38 PM] Kelly King: Sure.
[5:52:40 PM] The Unlucky One: Both of them talk about how there's some major gap left in E:E since Chrono retired. What about the guy that -beat- Chrono? Or the guy that beat that guy? C'mon guys. Bigger picture here.
[5:54:00 PM] Kelly King: Well either way you put it, Chrono not being there IS a major hole to fill. I get where you're coming from, but you were there and the guy who beat you was already there too. But now Chrono isn't there. So either way you look at it, there is a power gap that needs to be filled, and so many people in EWA want to fill it at the same time.
[5:54:03 PM] Kelly King: Myself included.[5:54:25 PM] The Unlucky One: Not while I'm around. Anyways. Moving on.
[5:54:34 PM] Kelly King: feck you
[5:54:56 PM] The Unlucky One: d('_'d) So, were weapons already in the ring for this match?
[5:55:28 PM] The Unlucky One: Wait. Yeah, I'm sorry. I completely forgot about the chairs used at the beginning.[5:55:30 PM] Kelly King: Yes, Three set them up in the last paragraph of his entrance.
[5:56:06 PM] The Unlucky One: Man, I can't believe I forgot that by page three. My bad. I like the lifting DDT Three uses onto the chair; he was on the receiving end of that in the last match.
[5:56:44 PM] Kelly King: Yeah. Maybe it's because I don't watch TNA, and it no longer exists in WWE, but seeing blood as early as page three threw me for a loop for a second.
[5:57:46 PM] The Unlucky One: I'm quite used to it. But Three's attempt to mount a comeback is very effective, I almost expected this to be a one-sided match from here on out.
[5:58:44 PM] Kelly King: Yeah, and the best part is he never stopped really selling his injured knee. But let's be honest. This match suffers. They use a lot of strikes, and they both go for camel clutches. Repeated moves and strikes that I blame on the match needing more posts under it's belt. The length of it draws away from it's potential.
[5:59:29 PM] The Unlucky One: Seriously. The match was watered down with attempts to work at Jacob's back and Three's knee. I forgot it was a Cage match by the end of it.
[5:59:38 PM] The Unlucky One: Should we go ahead and jump to the end?[6:00:14 PM] Kelly King: I wouldnt so much as say its a jump to the end, because the match was relatively short for a cage.
[6:00:51 PM] The Unlucky One: Very true. Let's step over to the end then. We got Jacob in a brutal No Escape, and... Yeah.
[6:01:09 PM] Kelly King: And yeah is right. Jacob totally phones this s**t in.
[6:01:57 PM] The Unlucky One: Both men convey -why- they needed to win, and Jacob fights back with everything he has. Just as he's about to pass out, he kicks back in with some Second Wind!
[6:02:03 PM] The Unlucky One: And... And that lasts... Two posts.[6:02:21 PM] Kelly King: THIS is why I didn't want to see them go at it.
[6:02:35 PM] Kelly King: Because it was disheartening to have to see one lose, and to lose like that was just. Man.
[6:02:38 PM] Kelly King: Disheartening.[6:03:01 PM] The Unlucky One: See, if Jacob were to break out and they were to go at it for like, another page, I would've been fine with it.
[6:03:20 PM] The Unlucky One: But this match really makes Jacob look like a jobber in the end. His resilience is practically disregarded.
[6:03:25 PM] Kelly King: Exactly, but he phones it in. And Three doesn't even post again afterward to celebrate or put him over. sad
[6:03:45 PM] The Unlucky One: Jacob finally passes out, and I guess they cut to commercial.
[6:04:09 PM] Kelly King: It's a good match, but it's the polar opposite of the one we just did. It blows its load and leaves you wishing things had gone differently. They can't all be gems I guess.
[6:04:44 PM] The Unlucky One: It's a decent read, but you learn more from the flaws than you do from the things they do right. I hate to say it... But I gotta give this a 5.7.
[6:05:01 PM] Kelly King: My exact sentiments and rating. 5.7.
[6:05:21 PM] The Unlucky One: Two amazing competitors, great start, lackluster execution.
King's Rating: 5.7

[6:07:57 PM] Kelly King: Welp. We made it. And so it begins. The reading of a SHORT NOVELLA AS WRITTEN BY SALEM CROFT AND FREAK SHOW. Straight out of the up and coming LWL, in a brand new match type. Salem Says.
[6:08:59 PM] Kelly King: When we get back.
[6:09:11 PM] Kelly King: Some of us have to eat and poop. We'll let you guess who is what.[6:09:17 PM] The Unlucky One: Exactly.
[6:24:06 PM] Kelly King: Okay.
[6:24:23 PM] Kelly King: That was a serious twenty minute poop.[6:24:35 PM] The Unlucky One: We'll let you guess which one of us took the poop.
[6:24:40 PM] Kelly King: And speaking of poop, LOOK, FREAKSHOW IS UNRETIRED.
[6:24:53 PM] The Unlucky One: WOOOOOO! I guess...
[6:25:34 PM] Kelly King: No, but seriously, woo. This match starts off in the only way it can; proving not only Salem Croft is a confirmed bad a**, but Freakshow is the slimiest mother ******** that has ever graced the Gaia ring.
[6:26:43 PM] The Unlucky One: Salem Croft decides to take a page out of someone else's book (/wink) and brings out the one thing Freakshow fears more than a diet plan; a baseball bat.
[6:27:37 PM | Edited 6:28:20 PM] Kelly King: Well. Not the ONLY thing. But one of the things. You know what? Salem Says? This is a great match type idea. I'm sure sometihng similar has been done in real life, but not exactly like this. I hope it catches on.
[6:27:51 PM] Kelly King: But I'm still waiting for someone besides Mike Landry to do a Watch Your Step.[6:28:56 PM] The Unlucky One: That's Mike Landry's match, why would someone else do it? Anyways, right off the bat, we got some serious action going on the match. Salem declares it to be an Extreme Rules match, but doesn't he do this -after- taking the bat to Freakshow's jewels?
[6:30:00 PM] Kelly King: Because people should embrace it as a Gaia match. Why limit ourselves when there are match types to be used! I'd be flattered if someone wanted to use one of my created matches in a feud I'm not part of.
True, but the first attack to the jewels is before the match technically starts.
[6:30:03 PM] Kelly King: So it's not illegal.
[6:31:02 PM] Kelly King: No no, we're remembering it wrong. Definitely. He tries to kill Freakshow.
[6:31:11 PM] Kelly King: Then declares it Extreme Rules after the match starts.[6:31:22 PM] The Unlucky One: So I was right?
[6:32:09 PM] Kelly King: No, you're wrong. He attempt to attack Freakshow, fails, and then names it Extreme Rules shortly after the match starts.
[6:32:40 PM] The Unlucky One: Oh, okay. Got it! Sorry, I seem to be slipping up today.
[6:32:48 PM] Kelly King: Thats normal for you.
[6:32:48 PM] The Unlucky One: Carrying on, Freakshow continues to prove just how "slimy" he is by running away from Salem's assaults and doing one of the best things ever in this match.
[6:33:04 PM] Kelly King: What are you referring to?
[6:33:12 PM] The Unlucky One: Him making it a Singles match at the very last second.
[6:33:21 PM] Kelly King: YES.
[6:33:23 PM] The Unlucky One: Part me was like "Shortest match on the card, let's see it!"
[6:33:27 PM] Kelly King: One thousand times yes.
[6:34:08 PM] Kelly King: When I read what Freakshow did in Lesbo to make fun of Salem, I was totally in favor of it ending via DQ right there. The theme of FRS this week seems to be me being impressed by things that could have happened in real life, and this was another of those moments.
[6:34:18 PM] Kelly King: Salem struggling with the idea of isntant gratification or WINNING.[6:34:39 PM] The Unlucky One: And you know what? He's almost denied -both-.
[6:35:14 PM] Kelly King: On that note, I'm totally on Freakshow's side when he says "aint no garbage wrestling." Damn straight Freaky. Show him what 'fer.
[6:36:12 PM] The Unlucky One: I'll let it slide that he used a double negative. His use of his usual cheap tactic pins are expected, but they almost backfire on him the second time when Salem reverse the Small Package into his own Small Package.
[6:37:23 PM] Kelly King: Ive never ever seen roll ups and lock ups describe to this degree. It's beyond even my skill.
[6:37:43 PM] Kelly King: Sadly, I know for a fact THIS MUCH description for a collar-elbow or a thumb to the eye is going to turn some people off to this match.[6:38:16 PM] The Unlucky One: Aye, you're right. I love the detail they go into, but people seem to want these slower parts of matches to be one-liners, or atleast nothing more than a paragraph.
[6:38:24 PM] The Unlucky One: BUT NOT FREAK AND SALEM. THEY SAY "******** YOU" TO THAT.[6:38:31 PM] Kelly King: Right?!
[6:38:51 PM] The Unlucky One: They will post 2 paragraphs for everything and tell you to go ******** yourself if you don't like it!
[6:39:06 PM] Kelly King: Also, I very much disagree with Salem. The more Freakshow wrestles, the better. Him coming out of retirement is like christmas for me, just so I could read this very very clever match.
[6:39:53 PM] The Unlucky One: Ah man, Freakshow just gets better and better everytime I read his work. I love his tactic of "Let me run to the ropes and demand the referee push you away." It's realistic, and damn is it funny.
[6:40:35 PM] Kelly King: Yes. And luckily, they started to tone down to one paragraph a post around the third or fourth page so as not to overwhelm the illiterate group of Gaians.
[6:41:59 PM] The Unlucky One: What I really enjoy is that Salem has an emotional reaction to Freak's cheap tactics. He gets visibly pissed, and he uses that to his advantage later in the match.
[6:44:37 PM] Kelly King: The spots in the match are really good, technical and psychological wrestling, and the switch from Singles to Falls Count Anywhere comes very naturally.
[6:45:23 PM] The Unlucky One: Indeed. Salem doesn't aim for an over-the-top stipulation with this switch, he simply wants to put Freak away I think.
[6:45:52 PM] Kelly King: And then.
[6:45:54 PM] Kelly King: Came the fork.[6:46:31 PM] The Unlucky One: I think we're getting ahead of ourselves here. Let's rewind to the impromptu interview before that.
[6:46:58 PM] Kelly King: If you say so. I do enjoy some popcorn.
[6:48:39 PM] The Unlucky One: I love comedic bits in the middle of epic matches, when it's called for, and Salem pulls this off flawlessly. He doesn't give some long-winded speech, he simply goes to his catchphrase to deliver a point. Plus, he offers Freakshow some popcorn to make up for the baseball bat hit earlier, I feel.
[6:49:06 PM] The Unlucky One: And -then-, we get to the fork.[6:49:19 PM] Kelly King: The best part is Freakshow actually finishes the catchphrase. Kind of sort of.
[6:49:25 PM] Kelly King: AND THEN YES. THE FORK.[6:49:34 PM] The Unlucky One: TO THE EYEBROW.
[6:49:40 PM] Kelly King: WHAT THE ******** style="color: darkblue">[6:49:52 PM] The Unlucky One: This limey ******** thinks of everything, man.
[6:50:54 PM] Kelly King: Okay, I'm not sure where this happens, but it happens around this page, but it's a bit of a problem I see in these kinds of matches all too often.
[6:51:30 PM] The Unlucky One: They go from near the ring all the way up to near the ramp?
[6:51:44 PM] Kelly King: Right around this area, after he gets stabbed with the fork, which is forking unbelievable, Salem writes in a post that his legs are about to give out on him. But the match will go on for at least 6 more pages from the point I am reading it. I understand it wasn't WRITTEN with that in mind, but this is the issue with sometimes being too descriptive.
[6:51:50 PM] Kelly King: You write yourself into a corner.[6:52:37 PM] The Unlucky One: Exaclty; this was abit too oversold on Salem's part. It's not even the midpoint, you don't want to already be near unconsciousness.
[6:53:43 PM] Kelly King: The laws of "Second Wind" are forever unclear to us, the mere wrestlers, but we need to be more careful about it in the future.
[6:54:10 PM] The Unlucky One: I know the laws of it, but that's getting into something completely different.
[6:54:31 PM] Kelly King: My notes are admittedly a little light during the section leading up to the last man standing introduction, so do you have something to say here?
[6:55:23 PM] The Unlucky One: Alright, so they transition into the Submission side of things. I love this, because I love Submission matches. However, this offers little in the big picture of things. Let's look over some of it here.
[6:57:23 PM] The Unlucky One: The only thing it really offers is that Salem gets a weakened arm due to having it hung over the top rope and being put in various Submission maneuvers. We only get to see the Hangman's Noose -once- though, and even then Freakshow breaks out of it rather quickly. Effectively too, might I add.[6:57:55 PM] The Unlucky One: Besides offering one of the best lines in the match, "You ain't s**t, pal!", he does something else that blows me away.
[6:58:03 PM] Kelly King: Aye, but Freakshow shows off some of the less traveled roads when it comes to extremely painful submissions. These moves he does don't look impressive but god damned. They hurt. So bad.
[6:58:23 PM] The Unlucky One: Right? Freakshow knows his submission moves better than anyone else I know.
[6:58:35 PM] Kelly King: ...
[6:58:36 PM] The Unlucky One: Shut up.
[6:58:38 PM] Kelly King: I hate you.
[6:59:05 PM] Kelly King: I don't think the submission match should have taken up the majority of the match as it did, but my big problem was how they moved into the last man standing portion.[6:59:27 PM] The Unlucky One: I completely agree, but can I touch on one last thing here?
[6:59:38 PM] Kelly King: No. I mean go ahead. Touch away.
[7:00:35 PM] The Unlucky One: Freakshow goes for the pin and makes himself seem... Forgetful, to be nice. But he somehow managed to use this as an excuse to get Salem to lift up his shoulder, just so Freakshow could assault it some more. That was simply genius.
[7:01:16 PM] Kelly King: Aye. I was wondering if one of them would go for a pin, specifically Freak, after submissions was announced, and I wasn't disappointed with how the spot so cleverly was used.
[7:02:07 PM] The Unlucky One: The submission portion of the match was great, but took up a bit too much time for my tastes in a match like this. Plus Freakshow got to deliver another great line with, "His arm! Do it! Do the thing!"
[7:02:28 PM] Kelly King: Yes, that was great. But that led into an awkward intro of the last man standing portion.
[7:02:32 PM] Kelly King: Salem's arm drops twice.
[7:02:51 PM] Kelly King: And then he stops it from dropping a third time. But then it has to DROP so he can snatch up the mic and change the match type.
[7:03:21 PM] Kelly King: It would look bad on TV and it read bad here. I wish there had been a better way to do it, but having Salem change the match type when he was in trouble was nice to do for a change, since Freak had done it once too.[7:04:00 PM] The Unlucky One: Yeah, it was a nice touch at the last moment, but it's confusing until he gets to the match transition. If I were the referee, I would've had to call it there.
[7:04:37 PM] Kelly King: Now, this of course, over the course of a few posts, leads to something that can only be done in pro wrestling and pro wrestling RP like ours.
[7:04:42 PM] Kelly King: Attempted vehicular homicide.[7:05:09 PM] The Unlucky One: Ah man, this was my -favorite- part. I had this gut feeling like Freakshow may be serving a jail sentence after this match.
[7:05:26 PM] Kelly King: You mean like he should be ALL THE TIME?
[7:05:40 PM] The Unlucky One: Hey, hey. Freakshow is crazy, but he's not a criminal.
[7:05:45 PM] The Unlucky One: ... Usually.
[7:06:03 PM] Kelly King: He's definitely a criminal.
[7:06:08 PM] The Unlucky One: At least he's smooth.
[7:06:10 PM] Kelly King: He should be locked up and kept away from children.
[7:06:41 PM] The Unlucky One: Anyways, so Freakshow gets in the car with the intentions of running Salem over in a rather slow manner.
[7:07:04 PM] Kelly King: And Salem pulls some kind of fast and furious dodge under the actual car.
[7:07:41 PM] The Unlucky One: It was genius, really. He avoided the wheels and lived to see another day. And then, that's when the tides turned.
[7:12:00 PM] Kelly King: Ugggghhhhhhhhh.
[7:12:13 PM] Kelly King: Here was this really good match and...
[7:12:17 PM] Kelly King: Sigh. UUUUGGHHHHH.[7:12:28 PM] The Unlucky One: What? You don't like that he busted out a tire iron?
[7:12:46 PM] Kelly King: No. My problem harkens back to the same problem I had with what ended Chrono's career.
[7:13:08 PM] Kelly King: Salem rages over Freakshow getting in his car. Like it's apparently the worst thing that Freak could have possibly done. And I seriously doubt that it was.
[7:13:18 PM] Kelly King: It just made me frown and shake my head.[7:13:45 PM | Edited 7:13:52 PM] The Unlucky One: Shanahan went and lost his marbles when Kelly King destroyed his FFA:US Championship.
[7:13:54 PM] Kelly King: That's different.
[7:14:01 PM] Kelly King: For 7 years you've been talking about how it's your baby.[7:14:10 PM] The Unlucky One: You don't know that. That car could've been passed down through generations of Crofts.
[7:14:13 PM] Kelly King: You've not let it out of your sight. You froth at the mouth when people mention taking it from you.
[7:14:20 PM] Kelly King: But thats my problem.
[7:14:22 PM] Kelly King: We DONT know that.
[7:14:30 PM] Kelly King: But we DO know how you felt about the title when it was destroyed.
[7:14:36 PM] Kelly King: There is continuity there.
[7:14:38 PM] Kelly King: There isn't here.[7:14:46 PM | Edited 7:14:57 PM] The Unlucky One: Salem was clearly upset enough to turn the match INTO A ******** INFERNO MATCH.
[7:15:15 PM] Kelly King: And if you freak out when Freakshow touches your car like it's the world's worst thing, enough to turn it INTO an inferno match, what would you do if Freak had like... kidnapped a family member.
[7:15:19 PM] Kelly King: Or tried to castrate you.[7:15:24 PM] The Unlucky One: Murder.
[7:15:52 PM] Kelly King: I just wish people would be a little more temperate when it comes to these serious situations. There are matches when I might have been okay with this reaction. But this wasn't one.
[7:16:22 PM] The Unlucky One: If the car had been a motif through-out their feud, it would have been more effective, I agree.
[7:16:47 PM] Kelly King: Exactly.
[7:16:50 PM] Kelly King: -Exactly.-
[7:16:56 PM] Kelly King: THAT ALL BEING SAID.[7:16:59 PM] The Unlucky One: INFERNO MAAAAAATCH.
[7:17:07 PM] Kelly King: FREAKSHOW'S REACTION TO THE INFERNO MATCH IS SIMPLY WONDERFUL.
[7:17:28 PM] Kelly King: He tries to barter for his LIFE. Unfortunately, Salem Croft pays the IRON PRICE for his glory.[7:18:57 PM] The Unlucky One: I gotta say, Freakshow's reaction was priceless, but not even that will send Salem off of his trail for vengeance over... Freakshow using his finisher, wasn't that it? Honestly, I may have forgotten the premise of this feud.
[7:19:34 PM] Kelly King: Using his finisher while cross dressing.
[7:19:44 PM] The Unlucky One: ... Yeah, I'd kill someone over that too.
[7:20:23 PM] The Unlucky One: Anyways! The match carries on with Salem proving that he's more than a rookie, hitting Freakshow with such classics as The One-Hitter Quitter and the Last Rites.[7:21:00 PM] Kelly King: If I recall correctly, it was the Two-Hitter Quitter this time.
[7:21:36 PM] The Unlucky One: He did hit it twice, yes. A third one and Freakshow would've been out, though. Earlier, you called Freakshow the slimiest heel around.
[7:21:48 PM] Kelly King: THe slimiest slime.
[7:21:54 PM] The Unlucky One: Was that confirmed before or after he used his unlaced boots against Salem?
[7:22:07 PM] Kelly King: Way before, but damn that takes the cake.
[7:22:54 PM] The Unlucky One: I was so confused as to why he unlaced his boots until that part came up. And then he hangs off of the top rope like a sloth on a tree, thanks to Salem being able to react quickly.
[7:24:03 PM] Kelly King: And come on.
[7:24:10 PM] Kelly King: A referee bump. In an Inferno Match.
[7:24:12 PM] Kelly King: That's grand.
[7:24:24 PM] Kelly King: It almost made me think that Freak was gonna win for a minute there.[7:24:38 PM] The Unlucky One: I'm always glad to see referees getting bumped. Honestly, I thought he was too after he managed to avoid the loss.
[7:24:43 PM] The Unlucky One: Even after his tights caught on fire.[7:25:02 PM] Kelly King: Exactly. And "OH s**t IM ON FIRE BRB" is the best response to being on fire.
[7:25:21 PM] The Unlucky One: After managing to rattle Croft's head with a swift Lariat, of course.
[7:26:14 PM] The Unlucky One: I thought the win of Freakshow's from here, I felt like his tactics were going to bring him home. But... Nope.[7:27:11 PM] Kelly King: One way or another it seems, you lose to The Number Three and to Salem Croft.
[7:27:49 PM] The Unlucky One: Freakshow gets caught in a Tree of Woe and nearly has his brain roasted; luckily, no damages would be done should that have happened.
[7:28:12 PM] Kelly King: No one would have mourned the loss, that's certain.
[7:28:23 PM] The Unlucky One: Salem manages to barely claim the win at the last moment, and I loved where they left off. Until... Well, after the bell rang.
[7:28:49 PM] Kelly King: And here is where I hear we differ.
[7:29:36 PM] The Unlucky One: Freakshow rushes back into the ring out of anger, and gets dropped with a Guillotine DDT. Literally, that's it. Nothing is elaborated on. It ended the same way Three vs Griffin ended.
[7:29:59 PM] Kelly King: Thats not how I chose to see it, honestly. I see it much different.
[7:31:17 PM] Kelly King: The way I see it is, lets be honest, an Inferno Match ending is always kind of weird. But what felt REALLY GOOD was Freakshow getting DDT'd. Maybe it's because of how Freak wrote it, or just the combo of their characters, but when Freak gets planted I FELT gratified. The match was missing the IMPACT finish it deserved, and Salem putting this creeper down was REAL gratificating for me.[7:32:02 PM] The Unlucky One: If Salem had celebrated or something afterwards, I might agree with you. But they came off of a climax and tried to have another quick one, I felt.
[7:32:08 PM] The Unlucky One: And then, it just stops there.[7:33:04 PM] Kelly King: Well what would have helped is not ending it in the Inferno, but ending it in a real pinning match.
[7:33:11 PM] Kelly King: But I thought the ending was good.[7:33:29 PM] The Unlucky One: Besides the DDT and lack of resolution in my opinion, it was a good ending and a fantastic match.
[7:33:46 PM] Kelly King: And your rating?
[7:34:18 PM] The Unlucky One: I gotta give it an 8.9.
[7:34:49 PM] Kelly King: Thats a very strong rating, and for the reasons I stated before, I'm giving it an 8.8. It's very good. Match of the Year candidate.
[7:35:40 PM] The Unlucky One: Aye, I completely agree. Now, there's another gem I've been looking at in LWL lately.
[7:35:50 PM] The Unlucky One: And I don't mean my promos.King's Rating: 8.8
Shanahan's Rating: 8.9

The Match(es) To Watch
[7:37:04 PM] Kelly King: Ah yes, lets move on to some matches that we want people to keep their eyes on. Theres obviously quite a few things to take a look at. We'll have to review the EWA Title Match Triple Threat soon, as well as keeping eyes on other matches, but what one in particular are you wanting to point at in LWL?
[7:37:50 PM] The Unlucky One: To me, it's the main event of their current card. And I'll tell you why.
[7:38:04 PM] The Unlucky One: It has Brody Robinson, personally one of my favorites.
[7:38:14 PM] The Unlucky One: It has TIGAAAAAAH HAT![7:38:30 PM] Kelly King: YATTA~!
[7:38:32 PM] The Unlucky One: And a stable that I've been dying to see debut since I sent two of it's members to the Emergency Room.
[7:38:36 PM] The Unlucky One: The House!
[7:38:46 PM] The Unlucky One: ... That's what it's called, right?[7:39:12 PM] Kelly King: Oh hey, don't forget Pantera! He's there too. And they're called The House Our Father Built. A long winded name, but it carries the effect better than simply The House.
[7:39:40 PM] The Unlucky One: I was going to mention Pantera later one. This guy isn't one I'm very familiar with, but I'm already wanting to keep my eye on him.
[7:40:30 PM] Kelly King: Yeah. I think this is the first time we've talked about anything that has my content in it.
[7:40:59 PM] Kelly King: Other than my writing and debuting of new characters, I'm really enjoying this match. The teams are having fun interacting and staying involved while one person is the legal tag.[7:41:47 PM] The Unlucky One: I've noticed that. It's just you and Joey posting until someone wants to go for the tag; everyone's getting involved! I'm not a big fan of tag matches anymore, but damn this one makes me want to get back into the division.
[7:42:29 PM] Kelly King: Also, the last time I face Joey in a match, it was a classic, so I really suggest keeping an eye on this one. This LWL card is kind of a big deal, everyone on the roster is booked, so I hope it lasts long enough for all six people to get involved.
[7:43:21 PM] The Unlucky One: There's more to come with the LWL card too, this draft is turning out to be a big deal. Honestly, I didn't think LWL would get to the point where they would consider having 2 shows. It's a real bold move.
[7:43:46 PM] The Unlucky One: But they're doing great, this match is looking spectacular, and it's definitely something people need to keep their eyes on. [7:44:17 PM] Kelly King: Yes, the entire guild should be on our TO WATCH list honestly. I hope the move to two shows doesn't detract from what they were already doing. But wait, WWE:E doesn't want to be left out of the festivities!
[7:44:21 PM] Kelly King: This match is too funny.[7:45:11 PM] The Unlucky One: Man, I gotta say, there are two men that will -always- make you laugh in our community. Cartwright and Brantley Summers. Finally, these two are working together and it's hysterical.
[7:45:56 PM] Kelly King: Yeah, it's a treat to see one work, but working against each other? s**t. They're very good comedians and psychological wrestlers. And they're having fun with each other. I think Cartwright in particular is taken for granted in our community.
[7:46:59 PM] The Unlucky One: Ever since EEW went down, I don't think Cartwright has been taken as seriously as he should. But he's still very much a seroius competitor and should be a threat to anyone with a title, no matter the rank. The same goes with Brantley. Let's not forget just how epic him and Freakshow were when they worked together.
[7:47:28 PM] Kelly King: And I for one WOULD be terrified by the mighty flying Cartwright.
[7:47:50 PM] The Unlucky One: Honestly, the only thing scarier than a flying Cartwright is a LIONCOCK.

[7:48:54 PM] Kelly King: Hahahaha. Normally this is where we'd leave you, but I think we would be remiss if we didn't acknowledge a few more things. This is a HUGE month for the community. Not one but TWO huge shows at once. WWFG's WrestleMania and EWA's Dementium V, the anniversary show. DEMENTIUM V: THE REVENGE. What are we doing for this, Matt?
[7:49:47 PM] The Unlucky One: Where going to do something that I think everyone should do instead of worrying about their own matches, honestly. We're going to do some predictions for each card.
[7:52:08 PM] The Unlucky One: After doing an interview with Tim for WWFG where he asked me who I thought would win the Undisputed Championship, I couldn't help but think "Huh, who will win it?" Which led me to think, who's going to win their matches? So, to start things off, which one do you think we should start with, King?WWFG WrestleMania 2013 Predictions! [7:52:56 PM] Kelly King: WWFG, because besides the match predictions, I have a bone to pick with these people.
[7:53:21 PM] Kelly King: Ahem.[7:53:24 PM] The Unlucky One: Oh trust me, I know what you're thinking.
[7:54:10 PM] Kelly King: This is WRESTLE ******** MANIA. WRESTLE. GOD. DAMNED MANIA. LOOK AT THOSE PATHETIC ONE OR TWO LINE ENTRANCES. A PARAGRAPH HERE AND THERE. THIS IS THE GRANDEST STAGE OF THEM ALL AND YOU'RE PHONING IT IN HERE? ARE YOU FOR ******** REAL? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
[7:54:24 PM] Kelly King: I'm sorry Matt.
[7:54:26 PM] Kelly King: I lost control.[7:55:07 PM] The Unlucky One: No, no. I feel you man. The majority of these entrances are so lackluster that I would think that this is a regular card. I'm praying the main event blows it away.
[7:55:34 PM] Kelly King: But I was under the impression the main event already HAD blown it away... #EGO
[7:56:03 PM] The Unlucky One: Hahaha, we can't make that claim -just- yet. I will admit that I worked on my entrance for well over two hours though.
[7:56:22 PM] Kelly King: As did I. Maybe we just care a little bit more. PREDICTION TIME! Lets keep this short and sweet.
[7:56:40 PM] Kelly King: MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH
Salem Croft vs AJ Warner vs Brody Robinson vs Jacob Griffin vs RTL vs Cyrus Leone [7:57:22 PM] The Unlucky One: This one was tough. I'm still -really- pissed off that they put Salem and Cyrus in this one. I understand why they did it, but those two have a solid feud going, and it's going to be diminished.
[7:57:27 PM] Kelly King: This is crap. Salem and Cyrus had a really good feud and they blew it off in MitB. Should have been a singles match, take 2 of the people in the FG IC match and put them in here instead, and had Pantera defend singles as well.
[7:57:39 PM] Kelly King: I pick Salem Croft as my winner for the match.[7:58:41 PM] The Unlucky One: From what I'm gathering, everyone but Salem is a face here. So I -have- to go with Salem in hopes that a heel starts heading for the championship. If not him though, Brody Robinson all the way.
[7:59:01 PM] The Unlucky One: ... Yeah, let's go with Brody. I got a spark of hope that Cyrus and Salem will save their feud by screwing eachother over.[7:59:18 PM] Kelly King: #1 Contendership to the IC title
Zelden vs Jamie Rock
[7:59:39 PM] Kelly King: I'm guilty of picking Zelden for his name value only. >_>[8:00:16 PM] The Unlucky One: Gotta go with Zelden on this one. I don't know much about Jamie Rock, but I feel like I want to see him doing some to blow me away before I pick him to win at Wrestlemania.
[8:00:28 PM] The Unlucky One: But who knows, maybe that's how he'll blow me away.[8:00:37 PM] Kelly King: Nuke Fusion vs Jarel Damone
[8:00:42 PM] The Unlucky One: Uggggggggggh.
[8:00:46 PM] Kelly King: DEAR PARTICIPANTS.
[8:00:47 PM] The Unlucky One: Uggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggh.
[8:00:49 PM] Kelly King: BE ACTIVE.
[8:00:51 PM] The Unlucky One: UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH.
[8:01:14 PM] Kelly King: In the event this match finishes, I'm going with my Expansion Pack, Nuke Fusion, but I want to be wrong about how innactive it will be.
[8:01:43 PM] The Unlucky One: If both men remain active, I'm still gonna have to go with Jarel. I think he's beginning to mount a comeback around here. IF THEY BOTH REMAIN ACTIVE.
[8:02:03 PM] Kelly King: WWFG Intercontinental Championship Match
-Fatal Four Way-
Pantera(coffee) vs Crazy Wayne vs Cyrus Darke vs Jimmy Montera
[8:02:27 PM] Kelly King: ... I'm not sure how this is going to look when I edit this, but ( c ) became a cup of coffee next to Pantera's name.
[8:02:31 PM] Kelly King: That's pretty awesome.[8:03:21 PM] The Unlucky One: Pantera. As I said, I'm liking what I see with this guy, and he clearly supports coffee.
[8:03:39 PM] Kelly King: I too have picked Pantera. I want this reign to go longer than it has already.
[8:03:44 PM] Kelly King: WWFG Tag Team Championship
Calypso/Heiko vs Team Heavenfire [8:03:50 PM] The Unlucky One: Ah... Hm.
[8:03:53 PM] The Unlucky One: Um.[8:03:57 PM] Kelly King: ...Team Heavenfire?[8:04:11 PM] The Unlucky One: You know, I know these guys have had their Twitter war going on and all...
[8:04:51 PM] The Unlucky One: But I... Really haven't heard much about this. I picked Calypso and Heiko just because the name Heavenfire really doesn't sit well with me. This is one I'm definitely gonna have to watch.[8:05:46 PM] Kelly King: I picked Team Heavenfire simply because they HAVE a team name.
[8:05:52 PM] Kelly King: #1 Contendership to the Undisputed Championship
-Punjabi Prison match-
Lauri Henry vs Bison Mbadi [8:06:11 PM] The Unlucky One: Ah man, this one is tough. Two animals, locked in -two- cages!
[8:06:20 PM] Kelly King: Why the ******** did we give the Punjabi Prison the opportunity to be remembered? Seriously. If we breathe life into it by saying it's name it will never go away.
[8:06:30 PM] The Unlucky One: What?! I love this match!
[8:06:35 PM] Kelly King: That being said, my pick is simple, clean, and can be surmised in one word NAY one SOUND.
[8:06:46 PM] Kelly King: AWROOOOOOOOOOOOOO!~[8:07:06 PM] The Unlucky One: Nope, nope. Bison all the way. This guy has been working really hard lately and I think it's time he get a chance to shine.
[8:07:36 PM] Kelly King: Yeah but dude. Theres a full moon out tonight and nothing stops the Lone Wolf. NOTHING.
[8:07:43 PM] Kelly King: No Holds Barred
Kelly King vs Matt Shanahan [8:07:48 PM] The Unlucky One: AHAHAHAHA.
[8:07:49 PM] The Unlucky One: BAH.
[8:07:56 PM] The Unlucky One: As if it's a contest. This guy, right here.[8:08:10 PM] Kelly King: Yeah. Maybe in bizzaro WWFG.
[8:08:22 PM] Kelly King: THE FINAL HOUR COMETH, MATT SHANAHAN. [8:08:22 PM] The Unlucky One: Let's do a quick recap, shall we?
[8:08:29 PM] Kelly King: lets not
[8:08:30 PM] The Unlucky One: I threw you out of the Rumble.
[8:08:36 PM] Kelly King: No I threw YOU out of the rumble.
[8:08:44 PM] The Unlucky One: I smashed a truck through your living room wall.
[8:08:46 PM] Kelly King: Destroyed your prized possession.
[8:09:01 PM] The Unlucky One: Sent your sons to the Emergency Room, scared your daughter shitless.
[8:09:02 PM] Kelly King: Possibly slept with your girlfriend.
[8:09:14 PM] The Unlucky One: Threw you through the Titantron.
[8:09:17 PM] Kelly King: Pissed on a contract and escaped via helicopter--
[8:09:21 PM] Kelly King: Okay you may have me on that one.[8:09:25 PM] The Unlucky One: And my entrance was clearly superior.
[8:09:31 PM] Kelly King: Wrong. So wrong.
[8:09:36 PM] Kelly King: Wrong in all the ways.[8:09:41 PM] The Unlucky One: This ain't no place for no hero, Kingers.
[8:09:51 PM] The Unlucky One: And this guy ain't no hero.[8:10:09 PM] Kelly King: Doesn't matter man. I am the Final Hour. And as the House's theme music says;
[8:10:12 PM] Kelly King: Let the show begin.
[8:10:18 PM] Kelly King: King of the Canvas Finale
Cartwright vs Draze [8:10:19 PM] The Unlucky One: Even Kings Kneel.
[8:10:22 PM] The Unlucky One: Speaking of which![8:10:30 PM] Kelly King: You think Draze is going to walk away with that one?
[8:11:02 PM] The Unlucky One: I really don't know. He's been trying hard to mount a comeback, but it's been so long since we've seen Cartwright obtain some upper-card limelight.
[8:11:30 PM] Kelly King: Thats why I am pulling for him. His work has been so good and no one seems to care. I like Draze, I really really really do. If he reads this, I want him to know that.
[8:11:39 PM] Kelly King: But I favor Cartwright on this particular go.[8:12:12 PM] The Unlucky One: Same here, man. This is so split down the middle for me it's not even funny. Both men deserve this, but Cartwright has my support a little bit more. I'll be cheering for both sides though.
[8:12:16 PM] The Unlucky One: Yeah, I'll be that guy.[8:12:40 PM] Kelly King: WWFG Undisputed Championship
Dion(coffee) vs Hiro vs Talon
[8:12:47 PM] Kelly King: Now it is DION with the coffee ha HA![8:12:53 PM] The Unlucky One: Dion wins because he supports coffee.
[8:13:13 PM] The Unlucky One: No, but this one was... Eh, to me.[8:13:28 PM] Kelly King: You don't have to explain.
[8:13:29 PM] Kelly King: Honestly.
[8:14:06 PM] Kelly King: Everyone and their mother has written until the cows come home about how this match is weird because of how it came together and alignments. We can't put a bigger stamp on that. I'll say the guys are doing what they can, but I wish one of them would have just bit the bullet and turned heel.
[8:14:24 PM] Kelly King: I think Hiro will win the title, but I don't think he'll hold it past the night. I fully expect the MITB winner to cash in early.[8:14:24 PM] The Unlucky One: All three men are good at what they do. But Talon seems to have his own thing going on with a female character. That makes me feel like I should disregard him logically.
[8:15:07 PM] The Unlucky One: Hiro is being a face and I hate that more than I hate him being a heel. His work is good and he's been improving big time, but this isn't his night.
[8:15:29 PM] The Unlucky One: Dion seems to be slipping into an inactive streak on us. That may prove to be fatal. However, I'm choosing him as the winner.
[8:15:41 PM] The Unlucky One: Maybe we'll get surprised, though.
[8:15:56 PM] The Unlucky One: It's Wrestlemania after all; anything can happen! LIKE AMAZING ENTRANCES.[8:16:00 PM] Kelly King: YEAH.
[8:16:21 PM] The Unlucky One: DION, RIDE ANOTHER BEAR.

EWA Dementium V Predictions!
[8:16:31 PM] Kelly King: Jumping over to EWA, we have Dementium gearing up to start, although some things are already going early. Like the EXTREMELY AMAZING FOLLOWUP TO MARXX'S PROMO.[8:16:44 PM] The Unlucky One: It was great until the first post.
[8:16:55 PM] The Unlucky One: ... Just kidding, you guys got me anticipated to see what's gonna happen.[8:17:10 PM] Kelly King: Marxx opened his mouth and delivered what, I think, was an even BETTER promo than his first.
[8:17:17 PM] Kelly King: So stay tuned. We may shock you. smile
[8:17:27 PM] Kelly King: Matt Shanahan vs Jarel Damone
[8:17:32 PM] Kelly King: Hey, this is kind of a rematch.[8:18:15 PM] The Unlucky One: If you change "Jarel" to "Brandon", it is. Some may remember that we had a match back in WWFG's Wrestlemania 2011. If you don't, read my entrance for this Wrestlemania.
[8:18:33 PM] The Unlucky One: I've gotten this from a few people, but I've got a good feeling about this match. I don't understand why it's the card opener.
[8:18:50 PM] The Unlucky One: ICW HALL OF FAMER AND THE ICON JAREL, OPENING ******** DEMENTIUM. THAT MAKES SENSE. THANKS.[8:18:54 PM] Kelly King: Well my ball is in your court in this case. Sometimes you gotta lead with your best foot I think, right?
[8:19:59 PM] The Unlucky One: Either way, it only feeds the angle I'm shooting on the next card win or lose. I'm hoping to win, but I know Jarel and he doesn't disappoint. You may be surprised at what he brings to the match.
[8:20:13 PM] Kelly King: Casket Match
Harli Drummond vs Salem Croft '
[8:20:20 PM] Kelly King: NOTHING STOPS. SALEM CROFT.[8:20:48 PM] The Unlucky One: Harli Drummond on this one. Harli's been slowly stepping up his game again, and I think he may come out on top this time.
[8:23:34 PM] Kelly King: The Final Encounter
Yukari Clepsydra vs Phoenixfire
[8:23:55 PM] Kelly King: Going with the laws of reverse momentum, because Chrono lost his last big match, I think Yuki will win hers and go out on top in this feud.[8:24:18 PM] The Unlucky One: The Final Encounter? Considering they're both married to Chrono apparently, I doubt it.
[8:24:34 PM] Kelly King: No s**t there.
[8:24:46 PM] The Unlucky One: Phoenixfire for me. She's been on a losing streak it seems, and I want her to reach for the stars this time. I know she can do it.
[8:25:07 PM] Kelly King: EWA Nexus Championship/EWA Internet Championship Unification Match
Ladder Match
The Number Three (coffee) vs Jacob Griffin vs Brantley Summers (Parkour Match winner) vs Guy 'Fox' Cancer
[8:25:14 PM] Kelly King: DEMON COFFEE[8:25:27 PM] The Unlucky One: Demon of Columbia is more like it.
[8:26:10 PM] The Unlucky One: This one is sincerely a tough decision. Four amazing competitors, four amazing possible outcomes.[8:26:41 PM] Kelly King: As amazing as it is, I think that Jacob Griffin can pull this one out.
[8:27:23 PM] The Unlucky One: See, I'm tempted to agree with you. -But-, there's a name on this card that I think deserves a mainstream push.
[8:27:29 PM] The Unlucky One: Guy '********' Cancer.[8:27:39 PM] Kelly King: I think its actually Guy FOX Cancer?
[8:27:45 PM] The Unlucky One: GUY. ********. CANCER.
[8:28:02 PM] The Unlucky One: But either way this one goes, it's a win for everyone reading it.[8:28:57 PM] Kelly King: EWA Intercontinental Championship
Major Devastation (coffee) vs AJ Warner [8:29:06 PM] The Unlucky One: Major Coffee.
[8:29:09 PM] Kelly King: God damn the coffee is kind of getting on my nerves now.
[8:29:15 PM] The Unlucky One: I still chuckle everytime.
[8:29:27 PM] Kelly King: The sad thing is I bet when I move this over, it's just gonna be a blank space and no one wil lknow what we're talking about.
[8:29:49 PM] The Unlucky One: They all have Skype. They can ( c ) without the spaces and find out.
[8:30:26 PM] Kelly King: We just had a promo from AJ where he complained about being in FWD but here he is on the EWA Dementium card.
[8:30:45 PM] The Unlucky One: Now, this is another match where I'm torn. Major is a great competitor and deserves to retain. -However-, AJ Warner is boasting big time with this new gimmick he's shooting for. And y- You know that, that didn't make sense to me either.
[8:30:49 PM] The Unlucky One: In fact.
[8:30:54 PM] The Unlucky One: HE'S HIGHER ON THE CARD THAN I AM.[8:31:10 PM] Kelly King: Me too, don't worr.y
[8:31:12 PM] Kelly King: I'm not even on the card.
[8:31:16 PM] Kelly King: In a match anyway.[8:31:25 PM] The Unlucky One: Baaaaaaah.
[8:31:35 PM] Kelly King: My prediction for this match is AJ, but I want Major to win.
[8:32:14 PM] The Unlucky One: I'm the reverse. I'm really wanting Major to win this one and continue his streak, but I got the feeling that AJ is going to hold true to his gimmick.
[8:33:16 PM] Kelly King: ... So you're the same as me is what you meant.
[8:33:25 PM] Kelly King: You WANT Major to win but you THINK AJ will.[8:34:48 PM] The Unlucky One: That was very shitty wording on my part.
[8:35:18 PM] The Unlucky One: I'm predicting -and- wanting Major to win, but I'm wanting AJ to hold true to his gimmick.[8:35:25 PM] Kelly King: Oh okay.
[8:35:26 PM] Kelly King: Undisputed EWA Women's Championship [8:35:52 PM] The Unlucky One: There's a lot of names on this one. There are only two that I think will win though.
[8:36:29 PM] The Unlucky One: Nova Starr, not because she is my character, but because she's mounting a return for the title she was the first holder of. Just a gut feeling there.

Keep it going strong.[8:47:22 PM] Kelly King: Hey man. Write a book.
