What will Felix's announcement be? Will his habit of opening shows on mic lead him to become the modern day mid-2000s Triple H or the modern day Joel Gertner?
How can two random heels cooperate so well as a team? Maybe they are all misunderstood nice guys after all.
Are triple threat matches in the doghouse? No 'AWF's First' for tonight's showing. Rumours say they forgot to shake tournament quarter finals' hand.
Can security keep out the angry war vets when Kira competes in the heart of the lions' den?
Will Steele's lauded stamina be enough to cope with two segments in a row?
Is the AWF playing down Charles Akiyama's first name due to it being too ethnic?
How many misplaced USA chants will we get in Kyznetsov v Steele?
How many seconds will Harry last?
All these questions asked, and more, TONIGHT!
Talking Smack rip off semi-shoot post-questions questions:
Will no rps for a semi final mean improvised angle finish? Or sixty minute draw?
If you write a Copycat rp in the forest, and the bookers aren't up to date on Game of Thrones, does it count?
Is it possible to {No Means No} threat your way to a loss against a no-show opponent? If so, we have the Bray Wyatt from the universe where his mind games actually work.

He's taking a behind-the-scenes approach to running AWF with Mike Adamle tweeting instructions as GM

That church is getting a new roof if Eliah plays nice with T-Bone
Are triple threat matches in the doghouse? No 'AWF's First' for tonight's showing. Rumours say they forgot to shake tournament quarter finals' hand.
It's actually not the first, the first was Copycat Vs Terry Bradshaw Vs Terry Bradshaw's other personality. The Terrys just ganged up on Copycat.
Can security keep out the angry war vets when Kira competes in the heart of the lions' den?
We have security?
Will Steele's lauded stamina be enough to cope with two segments in a row?
It's fine, Steele's well used to using mouth first, then body
Is the AWF playing down Charles Akiyama's first name due to it being too ethnic?
No they're actually playing up his last name. It's actually Cholmondley-Warner
How many misplaced USA chants will we get in Kyznetsov v Steele?
Several from Steele
How many seconds will Harry last?
398
All these questions asked, and more, TONIGHT!
Talking Smack rip off semi-shoot post-questions questions:

Well, I didn't write in a draw finish so Kuroi better get typing if that's the plan!
If you write a Copycat rp in the forest, and the bookers aren't up to date on Game of Thrones, does it count?
Didn't have Ed Sheeran. Doesn't count.
Is it possible to {No Means No} threat your way to a loss against a no-show opponent? If so, we have the Bray Wyatt from the universe where his mind games actually work.
I'm not sure Terry would even care, so long as he gets his dick wet. Or brown, I guess is the case here.

Character of the Night - Quite enjoyed Alexi not taking insignificant things like "losses" seriously and working himself into the AWF Title picture anyway.
Match of the Night - I quite enjoyed our tag match, and the dynamic Eliah and I created was cool
Moment of the Night - n/a
Line of the Night - n/a
Favorite Thing - Jackson Steele is probably my favorite thing right now.
Positive Feedback - Yeah show was good, I'm just here to complain lol (see below)
Things to Do Better Next Time - The pictures are obnoxious! Not because they are there, but because only three people have them! It looks horrible for Felix to be talking to someone and he has a picture, and everyone else in the segment bar Terry doesn't. I don't like the pictures, but I understand some people do. But either everyone has to have them, or no one. It is so hard to read otherwise.
Things Looking Forward To - Fired Up! Ready to go!

So I was thinking about this, and I should have a chat with Greg about pictures. In fact...

Oh, also at times the show was jumbled and didn't flow well (specifically with Felix being in every segment lol), but those things happen with efeds.
The picture thing is the REAL issue.

Character of the Night - Jackson Steele. I love this guy and how fresh his material is. All the time. No lie, I expected it to die after Prestige 2. Or get boring. Not in the slightest.
Match of the Night - Alexei Kyznetsov vs Jackson Steele was my favorite with the triple threat at a close second.
Moment of the Night - The introduction of Spector! That sent chills down my spine. Line of the Night - "I'm sorry. Release the WHAT?"
Favorite Thing - NoMercyMaster
Positive Feedback - A LOT happened during Prestige 3 that furthered a lot of storylines.
Things to Do Better Next Time - Line vs Pic
Things Looking Forward To - I am FIRED UP about our Super Show!

I knew going in that Felix was in almost every segment. I tried my best to get around it but I couldn't really do much about it with scheduling difficulties and last minute issues like Freeze and Rump no showing.
I had to accept it and move on.

I mean, things are going to happen. It looks like several characters wanted to have their moment with the boss (even though I'm the one feuding with him, freeloaders). It's not a huge deal, and it wouldn't have been as noticeable if not for the pictures!

Character of the Night - Alexei Kyznetsov. Was involved in the two important moments regarding the AWF Title, I was suckered in by him being placed into the Prestige Title match so it came out of left field and took me by surprise when he interfered in the other semi final and we were given a do-over at Fired Up. He's gonna be a tough one to RP against. I'm tipping him to top the Live 5 this week despite losing, due to him having a pivotal role in the title scene.
Match of the Night - Gotta go with Steele/Kyznetsov. Got Alexei's brutality over big time as well as Jackson's staying power by wrestling through a neck injury plus Jackson's heel side showed through with the dirty low-blow
Moment of the Night - - Announcement of the Prestige Class Championship - Spector revealed as Commissioner
Line of the Night - I'm sorry, I know I wrote the line and all, but if nobody else picks Assinator saying "I've got a rumbly in my tumbly!" then you're dead to me.
Favorite Thing - - The progression of the MGK/Storm feud has been really good these last few weeks. Outside of the title pictures it's the biggest program (technically it could be said that it is THE biggest program because it's a legit, historical and personal feud rather than a feud over a belt that has only recently come into existence)
Positive Feedback - - Loads of drama tonight - The show's getting bigger, a bit more content in between matches now - Talking Drama looks like it's gonna be a good segment to get to know the characters a bit more - Overall a lot is coming together now. What started off as a bunch of ten wrestlers randomly pairing off for matches is slowly evolving into feuds and friendships. Having only ever joined feds that were already in full swing it's great to see it grow from the start.
Things to Do Better Next Time - - Consistency of pictures is probably the big one right now. I'm in favour of the pictures BUT do agree that they need to be consistent at least within a segment, ie use them for everyone or no-one. - I know hands were tied because of no-shows for Ass vs Ice but (Russian invasion and car park brawl aside) a double-DQ followed by a double-countout was a little bit of a downer to end the show. Well, not a downer exactly because there was a fuck ton of drama, but you know what I mean. Coukd have benefitted from using something like the triple-threat as a pre main event.
Things Looking Forward To - - Special episode of Prestige; how on Earth do I work Steele and Nathaniel together lol? - Fired up!

Oh two more things -
Firstly, whoever wrote the tag match, I loved the "Sign of the cross" combo by Eliah - so much so in fact that it is now an official signature move!
Secondly, something the match writers might consider (and I may not have done this myself in the Ass/Ice match so I'll practice what I preach in future) is that when a wrestler does their signature or finisher, if it's not immediately obvious what it is to maybe put the explanation in brackets at least the first time it's used. You could possibly even bold the move name to signify a special move.
So for example:
It's only a minor thing but I find sometimes you write a character, make up their moves and then half the time even forget what the loves look like! I know I did with the "Seal of God" lol. So it can help the readers to know exactly what they're meant to be imagining

Right...
God bless you Steve for actually answering those questions. That mouth/body line was a beaut.
My match of the night was Kyznetsov vs Steele. I liked the route one selling method of walking up to the commentator desk and telling them a move hurt. Alexei punching Stacy was true to character and refreshing for someone like me used to that setup in tv wrestling playing out by him stamping his feet or her doing a sexy jig or something.
That match, the result and the Akiyama segment makes the character of the night obvious but I'm going to give Kyznetsov a break by not joining the chorus and saying it outright.
It becoming The Felix Show has already been mentioned. The repetition wasn't that big a deal I just want him to get some breaks every now and again! He's been undermined from all angles and the Spector reveal felt like him admitting that after two shows he'd already lost all authority.
-> I was thinking that seeing as cards for the the shows go up straight after the previous one, the match announcements could be moved outside of the show itself. Instead of following up matches with Felix coming out and declaring what the participants will be doing next show, merge those bits together to make a separate press conference to go with the card being put up. This would enable Felix to handle all the ownership drama and match-stopping on the show itself without being overexposed, and also give some of the fixtures a bit less of a 'pulled out of my ass on the spot' feel by implying that there was some kind of group consensus behind them.
AWF at Wizard World is a fantastic concept.
For negative feedback I was very disappointed in how my characters were mishandled in the main. All forgiveable considering the original match writer wasn't available and there were more than a few hiccups for our ever-working bookers to iron out with the show elsewhere. I'm just stressed at this point about the possibility of Harry or others making references to events in the match and me having no in-character response to explain they shouldn't have happened. A night's sleep will probably calm me down.
...not that I'll be able to rest without knowing if kuroi's nomercymaster reference was a joke or a reference or something secret and real
Bradshaw matches continue to be something I read and enjoy while being something I know I couldn't write. Seems like they'd involve more imagination than writing the rps in the first place. I loved the story of Bray Wyatt being out-spooked. Wouldn't have thought of that but makes perfect sense for their AWF versions. There was a moment where it drifted into actual supernatural and I personally think doing that takes away from the other hijinx.
I see we've moved onto using spoiler tags as a tool for near falls already! Good work men.
Something others have been doing with their match writing but I haven't is make the most of the small venue by having a lot of audible dialogue in the ring. It's a good way to play to the setting's strengths.
I get the credit for the sign of the cross! Hopefully he'll end up with a full portfolio of signature moves that are announced beforehand with various religious declarations. There are various ways to address the issue of signature moves and how readers are supposed to understand them. If the picture issue gets its own thread then maybe this should get one so we can get a brainstorm going. Actually, those last two points could probably be discussed by us actually using the Writers Central forum one day.

I do apologize about your match. Yeah, I don't like writing your matches because I doubt I can write the matches the way you like.
Again, I knew Felix would be overused. I'm sure it won't happen again.

Character of the Night - This is tough for me, but I'd say it's between Alexei, Steele, and Alex Jones (this ones a bit biased because I'm just happy to see him back in action with a dominant return to "XHF lore" in the AWF).
Match of the Night - Steele/Alexei was awesome!
Moment of the Night - Spector showing up and revealing himself as the AWF Commissioner was pretty cool. I'm looking forward to seeing him interact with the roster more in the future.
Line of the Night - "I've got a rumbly in my tumbly" actually was my favorite line, cracked me up.
Favorite Thing - Alexei forcing his way into the AWF Title match at Fired Up was unexpected but fun.
Positive Feedback - I really think the roster is developing nicely and I'm looking forward to seeing how all these stories continue. From the AWF Championship, to the Prestige Class, to AJ vs. Nathaniel, it's all looking good!
Things to Do Better Next Time - I agree that the flow of the show could be improved and we will all certainly work on meshing things together better in the future.
Things Looking Forward To - Literally everything on Fired Up is exciting to me.
