Johnny Briggs is a lot of fun. Loved the Pokemon reference. Hopefully this segment hooked people into reading the main event if nothing else. I just thought that Hess vs Daz and Hess in particular needed a big boost this week and remind people that he's one of the key players in PCW. Not gonna lie, I took the stipulation of "the winner chooses who he faces" from a TNA Impact a couple months back. But I think this execution was a lot better than theirs, because it makes sense for Hess to go after Daz instead of a champion.
The Logan angle needed to be highlighted this week so it stays in people's minds. With Alexa out of the equation for next show I'd like to focus solely on Evans vs Foster and give that match one final hard sell, so if you guys (Str8Shooter, Prophet) have some ideas, feel free to shoot them the Mod's way. The segment was a good one. Evans has been on a roll lately, you gotta wonder if it's gonna carry on to Absolution.
Daz went above and beyond the call of duty on that triple threat match, lol. Perhaps I should have told him that I was planning another triple threat on the next Onslaught with the other team members. Hell of a match nontheless, but I regret not booking Double J to pick up the win instead. The J Team needs it more.
Gryphon/Magnum/Zaid may be my favorite feud in PCW at the moment. I think the past few shows and this one especially, have done a lot for Gryphon in terms of presenting him as a hungry wrecking machine, which is what I think he should be booked as going forward. Zaid weaseling his way into facing Magnum is interesting, there is sure to be some fallout to that from both Magnum and Gryphon.
BSM took the ball and ran with it this week, so I'm glad he got a promo on this show. If I can make a suggestion, (and I think I said this in my last review) it seemed like the segment wrapped up a little too quickly. Instead of ending it right after Ted Barry's final line, have a line or two showing Reece's reaction to Barry's promo, or have the commentators react to what was said. It helps to tie everything up and highlight the purpose of the segment.
God damn, the main event was fun. Everyone got to shine, which is sometimes tough to pull off in these types of matches. Kudos to HardcoreLegend for starting the match by having Reece and Johnny V gang up on Hess while Kaiser watches from the outside, that's how I would have done it too. A big shout out to ShaneOfan for managing to turn this in.
I wrote the last segment, because it didn't seem like it was going to be turned in and it was too important to be left off the show. I'm not sure what the status was on it, but hopefully nobody got offended by me writing it by myself. I also hope we can avoid this kind of thing in the future.
Not a lot of segments on this week's show (felt like old school PCW), so let's get some more posts up.
