Pandemonium Feedback

[vastrix]

Pandemonium is the ppv that took over for Riot's Rules and made for a better definition of a wild ppv. Not all the matches were well received. What do you think? Did this ppv work as far as fermenting chaos?

Not super great this show. I was hoping the lack of match relevance in my roleplay would make it clear that I had no interest in the fatal 4 way match. Cool that I won, but Kintaru wouldn’t have actually tried to win.

OH, also, Kintaru would kicked the shit out of Shawna. That match would have ended with officials and wrestlers having to pry Kintaru from Shawna’s bloody shell of a body. Both because he in general would never let anyone hit him without retaliation, AND because he did not care about the match.

Ok. So, ADMITTEDLY, I didn’t read the whole card. That’s just who I am, let’s move past that point. Because this show had a few problems.

The first problem, is that it’s clear that the PPV was more important than the talent. In the matches I DID read, it seemed very much like the people writing the matches were more focused on having fun with the stipulations, than they were with putting the talent over.

I understand you guys wanted to try something fun to change up the monotony that is efed match writing. But it needs to be stated that I don’t think it worked, and was more of a negative to the show itself.

That said... Let’s talk about the firecracker. I don’t want to go too hard and heavy on this, but it does need to be brought up in a public setting. It was stupid, it was cringey, and that’s not the kind of humour you inject into a LITERAL murderous blood feud for the top title in your company. The momentum of the man being groomed to be top heel is now as damaged as both his asshole AND and his reputation. All storylines associated with him, are now storylines with the ass blaster.

It was a terrible call, that ruined an otherwise exceptional feud. It never should have made it into the results, and I feel it’s a rather large misstep by the staff that it did. But that’s just my opinion.

Mostly very good, entertaining action. The return of Riot (which I'm still assuming is just for the one event although wonderful if not) as well as all the others coming back for a one off event is great (as long as the majority of them roleplay).


The Andi Snow and Alyssa match stood out as an exceptional one, that was written really well. A proper Andi Snow/D feud has got to be on it's way soon I would imagine but there's other ways that could go too.


The main event was great in the boiler room and continued a fantastic match when out in the ring. Unfortunately I do have to agree with Kintaru on the ending. It's a feud running for over half a year. Two bitter murderous enemies having tormented and terrorised each other for months and it ends with a firecracker up the ass. A firecracker up the ass is suited to Joe Beb versus Mark Force, two comedy characters who write themselves as being the brunt of most of their own jokes. It doesn't fit a dark and mysterious D and it doesn't fit the main event of a ppv. The last time there was a firecracker up the ass, Jackson Davis left the fed never to return again. D isn't going to do that but it certainly doesn't help his character get over in his switch to dangerous heel. It was a very very good match until that point so not to take anything away from the writing of that match, just a really bad decision on the ending.

Wow.. Controversial show.

Best Match: Pequeno Vs Dread - Honestly great flow for this match! Great read.

Worst Match: Zepp Vs Vinnie due to it not taking place... otherwise probably The Convicted Vs Last Direction (Although it wasn't actually bad.)

Best Segment: Coming Home

Worst Segment: Opening segment felt a little unpolished.

Most Impactful Moment: Yeah... Firecracker.

Who got the biggest push from this event? Unsure. Most excited by Pequeno or Riots first segment.

Did we portray your character correctly? Yeah.

General Comments:

I enjoyed the show's premise. The changing stipulations felt like a sly dig at WWE's current product with the 'restarting' matches which was great. Despite being a PPV I would have loved to see a couple of funny infomercials sprinkled into these 'breaks'.

I agree with the sentiment on the Firecracker incident, it's the kind of thing I would expect to see in a comedy match, not a World title match. My first thought was that it hurt the prestige of the belt.. then that the character would struggle to regain momentum. I didn't really care for the 'Fish' stipulation either.

My match... Eh.. Wasn't great. I wouldn't usually complain and I am sorry but kinda aggrieved by it. I thought I'd done enough to at least not be pinned... especially when one of the guys no showed... But honestly, to be beaten clean in a debut match where everyone else seems to have something to 'Work' from the fall out (Kintaru - why Stylez helped him & The Shawna situation. Stylez - Why he helped Kintaru/Screwed Rack. Rack - Being screwed by Stylez) that kinda sucks. Especially when the person who no showed potentially has the most material to use going forward.
