Cool beans... I'll do my usual in-depth feedback hopefully later. For now, I'll just give some quick answers.

Match of the Night:
Battle royal pretty much claimed it. Long, epic, and a good read. Felt like a really competitive battle.

Face of the Night:
Aaron Jones owned it in the battle royal, I feel. Fought with the heart of a lion, and was really stand-up coming to the aid of Eli Flair when everybody was working him over.

Heel of the Night:
If he still qualifies as heel, I'd give it to MJ2... laid out Rezin, won a triple-threat match, and made it to the final three in the main event. Not very heelish in a typical way, but he proved himself to be a dominant force.

Moment of the Night:
Castor's proposal for a mixed-tag spectacle match was a pretty intriguing twist in the narrative. Should do well to continue the antagonism among those involved in the Wrestleverse V main event, as well as provides many opportunities for hilarity to ensue.

Open Ended Comments:
I'll leave the bulk of my comments for the in-depth stuff... but at this point I want to say that I enjoyed reading this card, and I appreciate all the effort that went into bringing it together.

Match of the Night: I have to go with the Battle Royal, it just built perfectly for me and didn't feel like anyone was there for the sake of a body. Everyone had a story going in and almost everyone still has a story coming out.
Wrestler of the Night: Forsaking face/heel dynamics, Malcolm Joseph Jones was the far and away MVP. The Battle Royal was fun but it's time for the Battle Royal Highlander, and the winner of THAT match will be wrestler of the night at 76.
Moment of the Night: Aaron Jones' "pre-coming-out" party. He will either rule EPW or destroy it from within. Maybe both.

I'm terribly offended that I can't be 50% of the main event at Wrestleverse. LET ME BE SELFISH!

Match of the Night: Props to the writer of the main event battle royal. It has to be really difficult to write a 14-man clusterfuck like that, and it really did a nice job of giving every single wrestler in the match an interesting moment (or two, or more) to take with them going forward. Really nice work.

Face of the Night:
Aaron Jones, learning (and successfully executing) increasingly technical moves and hanging in this thing an incredibly long time (longer than Eli Flair!). He is getting reeeeeally close to a supernova breakthrough.

Heel of the Night: MEEEEEEEEE! IT'S ALLLLLL ABOUT MEEEEEEE! (though thanks to all writers involved, this may be the best MJ2 EVER looks. Not sure if he's actually a heel though, really - he's kind of got this weird tweener thing going on.)

Moment of the Night: Rocko takes the Royal.

Open Ended Comment: Liking that the Davis/Harmen trouble is starting to boil over, love the idea of a triangle match with 3 of the Wrestleverse main eventers and their female counterparts (and funny/interesting to me that the fourth could potentially be Rocko Daymon, whose female counterpart is a complete psychopath now associated with Rezin. Or it could be Cameron Cruise, who would then just need to find someone to make it all balance out).

Okay, extended feedback...

Match and Seg Notes

- Like opening with the champ addressing the crowd in his usual insulting manner... and getting Castor and Impulse into the mix just made it better. Good move to get the World Title participants in the ring together, considering they weren't listed for action. The announcement of the mixed-gender tag match I think makes up for that, though. Going to be a really interesting match for Aggression 76. All around, good segment to start off the show.

- My bit... in terms of self-critique, probably too seg-heavy. The stuff with Fear and Dalkichev really should have been the RP contribution; would have erased the need to reintroduce the older characters to a new audience, which was the idea behind the backstage interview. Actually liked dusting off old-school Crimson Calling, with Ivan pulling the Drago shtick, and Fear just being a slimeball in general. Credit goes to Brusch for the direction and writing contribution of MJ2's epic beatdown on Rezin (Ben: DOPE ass response on the stick, bro!). For the match itself, tried showing some inner conflict within Team VIAGRA... figured it would be a good lead in to the two appearing in the main event later. I hope Davis doesn't come off so much heel as much as an opportunist, not looking to get the spotlight stolen by Harmen (Ford: Hope I got this right... if not, will pay back with a job). Otherwise, uhh... hope people liked it?

- Oh yeah, my OTHER bit... the last minute one. Sent this in after I wrote the entire previous match and realized I forgot to introduce Caitlyn as Rezin's new manager... which would have made information in Billy's later segment come up seemingly at random. Angle I was going for here was Caitlyn pretty much being the vamp manager, leeching off the rising success of others... a trend carried over from her time with Stalker, and also a clear statement to her ex-husband. Stay tuned, loyal Strawsmaniacs, for the details on how this gruesome twosome came to be.

- I haven't really seen a match start in a manner of coming in immediately after commercial, like these guys don't give a damn about waiting for the TV break... so that was pretty cool. I imagine MJ2 instigating it, still steaming after Rezin called him out, taking out his rage on Light... and Haughton, justifiably, stepping up to put a stop to that no-good swagger. Match itself went by pretty quick, but felt pretty balanced and competitive... all three involved had some pretty good spots.

- I really dig Billy's work with the Daymon's in Castor's office. For one, it reminds us that Castor is running things in Dan Ryan's absence. For another, he captures the animosity between the estranged two better than I do. I figured Rezin would be the guy listening to Sleep records as he snoozes... but on second thought, I highly doubt he could afford a vinyl collection in the first place. So, my commendations to Billy... my only fan of the Daymon Divorce Saga and YouTube embeds!

- Battle royal is something I can only describe as Strawsmassive. Action was covered at a pretty balanced pace... it jumped around a lot, but the hectic style I feel is pretty fitting for the hectic environment of fourteen guys in the ring together. Everybody involved had a point of standing out from the others. Enjoyed the ways Magnus Destructo and Olvir Arsvinnar were involved, and how they were respectfully eliminated. Aaron Jones really stood out to me in this match especially... when it was getting down to the end, I found myself hoping he'd be the guy to pull out the win. For a moment, it looked like he and Eli would join forces in order to accomplish that. Flair's elimination surprised me in how early it was, as I figured he'd at least make it to final three; then again, I imagine it's more logical he goes out when there are enough people left in the ring to join forces to get a man that big and destructive over the ropes and out of their hair. MJ2 also looked especially dominant, making it into that third spot after pretty much walking to the ring and kicking ass two times earlier in the night. The finish, honestly, left me really surprised. Did not see that coming. Granted, for some reason, I was also expecting that when it got to the final two, the match would be over. Cruise making it into that main event title opportunity was a given, because Tommy really hit it out of the park in that thread. Rocko coming out with a win was a unexpected delight. A Cruise vs. Daymon match with an interesting twist... two former champs fighting for redemption. Really good story-making elements there.

Additional Comments

- Overall... pretty solid card. Didn't feel like the monumental "75TH AGGRESSION OMFG" event I was expecting... like one of those WWE Anniversary RAW where they drag out a couple random guys from the 80's and 90's to job for a paycheck in a battle royal. I guess we had Olvir and Ivan representing some old school personnel... but as I mulled it over, I came to the depressing realization that expecting old faces to pop up is a far-fetched hope, given that a lot of those guys simply aren't in the game any more. The battle royal pretty much gave the show it's "special" quality in that respect... not so much focused on looking back on ten years of EPW, but keeping the spotlight on the present generation of athletes. I think that's what makes the Empire unique... not so much rooting itself on longstanding legacy, but always looking forward. Probably the message I've been missing for a while, pulling unnecessary stunts like dragging out Ivan Dalkichev and Nathan Fear. But hey... I think there's always a place for seedy, power-hungry manager and silent giant Russian enforcer.

- My one criticism for this card is the lack of presence of the Intercontinental Title. Still unsure on what's in store for Wrestleverse on that end.

Other than that, yeah... enjoyed the card, dominated mostly by the main event. Contributions were good... there wasn't really a weak part in this show, from my perspective. Keeps the ball rolling toward WV5, and definitely set the stage for Aggression 76.
