I've shared my opinions on Discord but I'll do it again here, but with a little more detail...
BoB II Battle Royal was wild. A lot of stuff went down and I'd like to think there will be some good matches/feuds that come out of that match. I loved the surprise of Crane being in the Battle Royal as the Golden Dragon and I love that The Glucks made a return to screw over Crane and Reese. The ending was pretty good as well.
Crane vs. LD was another fun read. A lot of back and forth. It's not always easy to write a heel vs heel match. Good job by whoever wrote the match. Congrats, Mongo, on the big win. I look forward to seeing what you do when you challenge for the title.
Spike vs. Donzig was insane. Lots of back and forth action with Spike picking up a big win. I don't want to ever hear that Don only thinks of himself. Don does a lot of "sacrificing" for great storylines. Running a fed is hard and sometimes it's disheartening to put forth so much effort just to have your character lose because it's a good storyline. Spike brought it and Donzig took it like a champ.
World Tag Team Championship Match. Another fun read with the High Rollers Club picking up a nice win. The rematch will be insanely good I'm sure. I look forward to seeing these teams tear it up again.
I'm excited for the main event to be posted. Should be an instant classic between three hungry, deserving writers.
All in all, I think the show was great. A lot of moving parts to set up the next couple of months of shows. Should be fun.
In closing... The Golden Dragon > You!

Rockstar show WUK team - and with such a quick turn around after the EOD offering? My hat's off to you. And it is a top hat, which is classy.
Been a crazy month so haven't really had a chance to give feedback on the past two shows, but the formatting has been looking tight.
- Show kicks off with a HR segment, short, establishes the stable's current roll call - while teasing surprises in the Rumble. Minimalist & effective.
- I will throw shade at the Ed Sheeran music cue.
BoB II: - I always expect Sheik to get the Kane (wwe) monster treatment, so having him in to start things off is awesome. Given the characters violent excess, it also teases a Battle of Britain that is similar in tone to last year's brutal affair which makes for an awesome bait & switch to the relatively* feel good efforts to come. Dig Sinclair as number 2, as these two had that epic tag encounter last month. With Moloch joining fairly quickly after, there is a nice emphasis on Donzig-Gun to remind folks this is a two evil stable fed. Referencing the Jrok run with Salt - before wrapping up the first portion of the rumble with a Sheik elimination which is big for Sinclair, doesn't hurt him, and ties together the backstories of the various participants. - The Salt & Pepper / ODS exchange has never made the team look better, and without looking at the next line-up - here's hoping for more of it (same goes for Neo Bushido & Fairtex later). - Despite using Ultimate Warrior as a bike, I'm not big on real wrestlers and our OG creations mixing - but the Punk bit was funny. Good for Donzig. - Meanwhile Disney characters are more my speed (editor's note: Marty forced me to write that), so bring on Kasper's Seven Skirmish callback! - "You think Matsui has heard of the Golden Dragon?" MONEY. Justifies the sudden wave of Japanese characters coming out together. Also, all the Golden Dragon stuff is markable. - Just when the Donzig-Gun domination comes to a close - Spike with the big entrance. Spike picking up enough eliminations to look god tier, but not having to deal with ODS which might distract from his later match (while the later Drake stuff compliments it). I'm down for all the Spike/Dragon teasing - all building to the Crane reveal. Glad to see Kono in on that action, much like the War Games pin - the build for Stars/R&C is there. - Downplaying everything Donzig writes for FML in this (including the Spike/Drake/Kasper sequences), but just assume I'm marking like hell for every chicken drop. - Glucks return was awesome - and a worthwhile payoff to all the Roller shenanigans in this match. - Full entrance for El Karas makes for a nice debut, who comes across strong especially with the big Spike elimination, before we get Warrick with the final boss treatment. - Did not expect the finish, which nicely continued the Flo/Kasper rivalry... really appreciate the show of support. You guys rock.
Whelp... I'm exhausted. Wait, there's more?
- Goth on-card about Watts & Hunter remind me of how many WUK heavy hitters weren't involved in the Rumble, functions as a palette cleanser and hypes the ME hard.
- Really great back-and-forth action from Crane/LD. The lengthy Crane rumble appearance, gives an excuse / cushions the blow of the loss (not that folks need an excuse when losing to Dominicus who is a Dominibeast) - but this program is all sorts of dynamite. BEST OF 7!
- The Donzig/Kane match delivered everything one could want - while being different enough to differentiate it from the previous two matches. Also Buried Alive was one of those steps that got used to death at one point, but is infrequent these days, so the novelty had me smiling.
- Honestly, I legit thought R&C were going to take Epcot out round 2 of the Revolution, as they were LONG OVERDUE on tag front. Big congratulations to them. Some of the spots I suggested were a little out there, but Kasper ran with them... and the comedy felt like yet another offering.
- Still waiting on the ME, but I feel fairly confident in saying every match on this card had a different tone / style - and given how epic the BoB was - its a huge testament to the subsequent matches/characters/writers that they continued to hold their own.
Y'all rawk.
