Match of the night: Main Event for sure.

Heel of the night: Although I felt this was a pretty big night for Stalker, I enjoyed Copycat walking out of the match on Impulse. Impulse I am sure was not happy about winning the match by count out. Which makes it even better.

Face of the night: Caitlyn Daymon

Surprise of the night: High Flyer's appearance via promo. I wasn't expecting to see him back to be honest. Glad he's here though.

Line(s) of the night: DT: Stalker and Shane staggering out of a cloud of … of …

MN: Potassium bicarbonate!

DM: How do you know that term?

MN: SmartPhone, yo!

Final Thoughts: High Flyer's promo was nice to see, however I felt like there could have been a lot more promos. I believe the PPV is after this next Aggression, so at this point I am still unsure about what feuds we have that will be going into it. Especially considering it's EPW's version of Wrestlemania, it would be nice to see a lot more build up. Maybe we could have an extra Aggression before the PPV to get more things going?

The only thing I am sure will be on Wrestleverse will be Copycat and Anarky. At this point, that doesn't even look 100%. Where were the Masked Violator's? Where are the Heirs of Wrestling? With Team VIAGRA! making their claim they are coming for the belts, it seems to me they would be a better fit for a shot at the belts at Wrestleverse! Who's the TV title No. 1 Contender? IC title's No. 1 Contender? Where are all the segments at? What's worthy of an opening match that will give Wrestleverse the spark it needs?

A lot of open ended questions to be answered here. Hopefully things will shape up for a hell of a PPV card. I personally can't wait.

(EDIT: Much, much praise to whoever wrote the Main Event by the way. Even with everything else on the card being short formed, it made for a hell of an ending.)

Match of the night: Main Event. Show was hampered in this from the shortforms but I think the main delivered and would have delivered, no matter what.

Heel of the night: Stalker.

Face of the night: Caitlyn Damon, definitely

Surprise of the night: VIAGRA~!

Line(s) of the night:

DM: Cruise almost ran away with that one – and the Tag Team Titles – all thanks to a weapon Stalker introduced into the match!

MN: If only irony were three-counts, huh Dean?

Thoughts:

Enjoyable card all over. I think Anarky has more momentum than Copycat going into their title match, and of course, Stalker is the wild card in that situation. But he's got his own title match to prepare for against the Heirs of Wrestling, there could be a long and glorious line of mutually assured destruction in this one.

Match of the Night: The main event surely was the most "classic" of EPW matches, and could have substituted for a pay per view match from a length/drama standpoint.

Heel of the night: Stalker.

Face of the night: I thought Steven Shane standing up to Stalker in his segment with Caitlyn creates and elevates the dynamic of their tag team championship reign. I could see this reign turning into a Lance Storm/Chris Candido, they're forced to team together even though they hate each other, cause they face suspension if they break their tandem themselves).

Surprise of the night: I don't want to say myself, so I'll say Astros being the one to take the fall in the tag match. Usually the non-champ would take the fall. Sets up a nice Shane/Astros match at some point with a built in premise though.

Line(s) of the night:
MN: the Masked Violators take on The Colossal Connection.... oh come on... I can't even say that with a straight face... who wrote that down for me to say?? I mean, really? You guys suck..
(totally unprofessional moment. Makes me think Kayfabe was just ever so slightly broken for a practical joke on MN.)

Thoughts:
I will say that the smaller results, while disappointing from an output standard, are a fresh take on things. I'd consider integrating some of the things that Katz does with his Brawl shows into this sort of situation should it arise again in the future. Obviously, it's not exactly one of those things you WANT to see happen again, but I thought the show didn't suffer from the lack of full form.

I always like to see a quick segment hyping up an upcoming ppv too, makes it seem like a professional wrestling league. Especially if EPW's "Wrestlemani-" I mean "Entertainmentmania" is coming up.

First of all, I want to apologize for dropping the ball on the World Title Match.

That being said... it was still a pretty decent card in moving storylines forward. The action was broken up by a decent number of segments.

Match of the Night: Main event was a monster and definitely deserves some props. Great finale to the King of the Cage tournament, and grats to the new co-Kings of EPW. Out of the shortform matches, Impulse and Copycat was written with really good detail, and went at an appropriate length. The finish was also good, as it doesn't really damage either competitor's heat, and sets things up for a future encounter.

Segment of the Night: Honestly, Team VIAGRA's seg struck the most waves with me. Seeing High Flyer beat up from his last encounter was a good way to relate to past events and explain a brief disappearance. That and the introduction of Tony Davis as a tag partner really makes me want to say, "Welcome back, EPW tag scene."

Heel of the Night: Stalker

Face of the Night: I'm not sure if he qualifies, but Steven Shane had a pretty heroic showing in the main event.

Surprise of the Night: High Flyer back in action was probably the one thing I was not expecting, outside of the outcomes of certain of matches.

Overall Thoughts: One thing I felt was unnecessary on this card was the end segment, with Stalker attacking Anarky. It didn't make a whole lot of sense to see Stalker plotting a beatdown on Anarky immediately after a long and physically tolling cage match. That, and I feel there's just too much over-exposure of Stalker right now on the show in general, as he seems to have a blood feud with anybody who so much as crosses his path. He's already gunning for Anarky, that much is clear, and Caitlyn's being thrown into the mix in an interesting way, and all the while the fellow tag champ Steven Shane is dealing with the drama while trying to avoid it completely -- that's all cool. But this last seg now throws Copycat and Aaron Jones into the mix, which didn't really make a whole lot of sense to me. When too many people get involved, the angle becomes very muddied. I felt it would have been better if, for example, Stalker came out at the conclusion of the World Title match and attacked the champion while he was vulnerable. Same effect, but different execution. In terms of timing throughout the show, this would have made better sense, and would have explained how Stalker could blindside the champ without needing to involve a ref or the ref's son or the ref's son's brainwashing master. Wrestling is the art of telling a story with actions instead of words, so I feel it's really missing the point when the viewer gets blasted with the WWE approach of frequent backstage drama. This is the only real critical observation I can make to provide feedback.

Oh yeah, and... Anarky and Bastard could have probably been long-formed. :(
