Quick, sleepless thoughts:
Boooo to the fire code! Felix needs to show the fire code who wears the trousers in the AWF.
Also boooo to T-Bird for being generally heel-y and beating someone I like. Maybe it's because it's late here and I got progressively tired reading the show but that first match seemed nice and grounded and wrestley and is my favourite at this point. A trend I'm noticing all around is character touches during the matches from top to bottom which is always good.
I like to think Eliah Nathaniel was attempting to get 'the Lord is my strength' over as the new 'Yes!' chant.
In Thob/Scorpion "It's just you and me now, you little bitch!" is such a fun line to imagine with a John Lennon impression going on.

I really liked the show and the matches were top notch all throughout. I'm very happy and grateful to be put into the main event right off the bat as well. I hope i can do good stuff next week with Yuki and Kira now.
I really enjoyed my match despite the out come. It was a nice match and i think it showed allot in both wrestlers. The Kirito bump is gonna kayfabe scare me now and kira too. It was nice to add details and such like that too. If only that referee did a better job at being distracted Kira might of won! I have lots of stuff to work off of in my first rp with him though and stuff should be pretty fun going forward.

I also loved the T-Bone/Cutter match, it definitely gets T-Bone's character across very well. And I'm super hyped for the fallout with Felix and T-Bone.
I also don't feel the loss to Alexei should hinder Kira in anyway, since he's one of the most interesting characters on the AWF roster. I'm certainly looking forward to both where Alexei and Kira are going from here.
I just hope everyone feels like they are being representing well so that we can continue this adventure.
EDIT:Also, MGK RULES. Just wait and see.

Character of the Night - Michael Storm. Loads of great character development throughout the night. Match of the Night - Steele Vs Wyatt. Both guys were made to look great, Bray was pushed as a powerhouse and Steele was able to show off his staying power and longevity (hey-o!) Moment of the Night - Scorpion actually starts trying to fight a pig - and loses! Terry Bradshaw reveals he has signed MGK and gets some big heel heat as he unwisely makes Fezzik look foolish. Line of the Night - This show didn't quite have the comedy gold that the last one did, but I support Ish's idea that "The Lord is my strength" can be like Nathaniel's "YES!" chant. I'd like to see more of this, like a heel version of Hulking up... Favorite Thing - My match was the main event! I'm guessing admin liked it because I'm sure it was the semi-main before I wrote it! Also, love how you were able to swerve even me with the finish! It's not the original one I wrote for the "Alexi wins" scenario (but it's close) - I did think it was a little odd that Kira actually used the chair as I originally only had it in as a distraction but in hindsight the way it went down here makes sense because Kira still looks really strong, and he's put a lot of work into roleplays and Twitter etc, so I'm surprised he didn't pick up the win but his character didnt come out looking at all weak at least. A also really liked how the parking lot brawl never came to fruition - surely that's a bad thing, right? No because now it means we get the big blow off between MGK and Storm at a bigger show in a bigger, sanctioned-er match! And it's official, MGK is now part of the AWF roster! Jay Cutter's character is really good too. He's been kinda tucked away and we haven't seen a lot of him but in a way that's exactly how he should be... Not that he shouldn't get out of the mid card, but I mean how he's all about just doing his job, no more and no less, keeps himself to himself and lives his life in relative peace and quiet instead of in the limelight all up in your face like everyone else. Love how he comes out and finishes his cigarette before his music hits, all like "still on my break... Still on my break... Nearly time... OK GO!" Positive Feedback - All of the matches on this card were really solid and compelling We're starting to get some more feuds sparking up, and others are picking up the pace Bigger venue for the next show! Things to Do Better Next Time - Don't call Scorpion "Socprion" (unless that's an in-joke I missed) More Terry Bradshaw! Minor nitpick - MGK was on the graphic for Fired Up, BEFORE being revealed as a contracted wrestler Things Looking Forward To - Tag team matches! More Terry Bradshaw! #AWFTitle (I'm making this ours on Twitter) semi-finals

So to respond to a few things: - the ending to the main event was neither one of the endings Steve provided us. The admin team had a difficult time deciding the winner of the match. Ultimately, we decided on Alexei, but wanted to do it in a way that made Kira looked good because he gave him a run for his money. We also changed who was in the main event because Kira and Alexei were bringing the heat, and we felt deserved it. - With Eliah's quote, I was actually thinking along the lines of, "I am the force. The force is with me." - I should spell check better, yes. With that said, I didn't even notice the issue with the fired up banner and MGK until you brought it up. Holy hell that was a good catch. - Steve when I said you would like your match, the moment I was talking about was when Jackson removed the turnbuckle padding. J wanted to make it as sneaky as possible to have him look like a lovable cheater. - also, Greg told me he was itching to use Terry so that's why he's on the card for Prestige 3!

Oh yeah I forgot to include the turnbuckle spot but I loved that bit, I was expecting eXXXstacy to have taken it off but having Jackson manage to do it was great - and who would even notice it stuffed down the front of his tights...
Yeah my finishes to Kira/Alexi had the drawback of one or the other ending up looking "weaker" so your version was best to maintain parity while still giving one man the win

I like the shirt idea but I'm such a nitpick I can only think of how personality-wise Eliah Nathaniel seems anti-purple. It's even worse because I cannot explain what that means. HEY. THAT'S FINE, ISH. HOW ABOUT YOU FIND US A VENUE AFTER WE GET KICKED OUT, HUH!? Starting a fire at Prestige 3 due to a couple of extra chairs being smuggled in (a brilliant plot by *insert heel*) would give the theme of Fired Up a whole new meaning. A new, better idea - when AWF gets big enough to run bigger venues all the time, leave the VFW with a bang by wrecking it in some kind of obscenely ambitious gimmick match. It'd be like a rock band smashing the set.

Haha yeah I just made the shirt up for a joke really... Though I had Nathaniel complain about it on Twitter so I guess it's canon now?
He doesn't like it. Says it makes a mockery of his beliefs. Sales figures say otherwise.

Oh and if we're talking Gimmick matches, I got a great one; BURIED AT SEA MATCH!
Its a cross between buried alive and a casket match, in that you have to lock your opponent in a casket AND throw them overboard (oh by the way the match happens on some kind of ship)
It wouldn't do Jack shit in terms of furthering our VFW storyline, but if we get any seafaring gimmicks then they've got a custom-made signature match just ready to go...
Yeah I've been drinking, what of it?

Yeah I've been drinking, what of it? This can be paired with the home town venue idea when the AWF goes to perform at the birthplace of Lil Freeze. Also featured: a lumberjack match on an island of ice where you have to avoid sliding into the surrounding polar bears.
