SPOILERS! Read card first!



WELCOME TO THE SHOW! - This one came off as a bit BIGGER for me - totally sells the impact of the RELOADED shows on the Frontier. Does anybody else play the Opening Song while they read it? or am I just all sorts of weird like that. (Note to Katz, linking up your MUSICUP song with a link so I don't have to! )

REINFORCEMENTS - Could have been an RP, but it works as a segment for me. I remember the Mighty Impala a bit from one of my brief NFW runs and Zoltan from old CSWA and NFW (maybe) RPs. The Clan needed to bulk up a bit and Impala/Zoltan certainly fit into that brawn category. The whole Impala/DeVille's diamond earrings connection cracked me up - only GG!

THE X102.9 Wet T-shirt Contest! - I wrote this so I don't have a ton to say on it. After reading it on the card, I should have had Jack at least sign "Jack" on the blonde's chest before being interrupted by Dorchester - Oh well! Aside from that, I was pleased with how it turned out.

EMT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH - With as crazy as the Tag Division has been, this made sense. Everybody had a decent showing - enjoyed seeing the POV throw their hats into the ring. I misjudged the Malik/Bandit situation as I thought those two might be able to co-exist. Been waiting for a AKITA HOSHI sighting and finally got it in a big way here. He's so fucking crazy. It's weird not having the Hollywood Wrecking Crew in the middle of all this, but, for the first time in awhile, I think the tags are strong enough to not need their presence. Excited about watching the tags grow and develop!

That's not what Karma actually means but okay, go on - I dig this Morale Officer bit. In a fed full of cutthroats, pure insanity, huge egos, street fights, people getting hit by cars, porcelain stabbings, there's a young lady serving out cupcakes and trying to keep morale up. Yeah, sold. Pete FTW. Good way to get inside Rose's head, walk through her thought process - Rook is the perfect co-partner for that.

CHRISTIAN CRUISE v. DEACON - Further pushes JJ as a dickhead. Bobby Jack drops his Tim Tebow act and completely comes unglued. He's crazy, that's for sure. We've got enough arrogant heels and the only thing better than a bible thumpin' heel is one who is taking orders directly from the Man Upstairs. GG is going to knock this out of the park, I think. Time for Deacon and Bobby Jack to have their battle between Good and Evil. Christian needs to get cut loose - would be nice to see Siegel actually writing him, but whatev.

Cumming Home - Good shit from JN! Mayfield being back in-ring is great. He's in my top five for all FW characters. You don't always think about it, but NFW has a handful of straight-up, legendary FW characters. Anyhow, I'm getting off point. Mayfield shares my view on how the tag division is developing. Enjoyed reading Mayfield's perspective on the Clan/Supercrash/etc. FUTURESHOCK teaser! That's going to be one epic PPV (when it finally rolls around)

ROOK BLACK (c) v. LEGION - I think we all knew that Justin would be taking a break from NFW (as he put IWF on hiatus). Stalker taking Luci away from Legion was great - Legion's response made it so. He completely flipped and had moments where he was just smothering Rook. I thought Legion might actually pull it off, but, in the end, Rook's the winner. Another one bites the dust for the National/Triple Crown Champion. Good job on the match, Pants.

HOLLYWOOD'S ON FIRE! - All you really need to know is that it's a seg hosted by Lamont Hollywood who is joined by Mayfield, Randalls, Windham, and DeVille. It's going to be gold. That's ungodly weight there. Randalls is just a wrecking machine and seeing Troy try to match that even-keel is awesome. JJ coming down and trying to throw his weight around is classic DeVille. 'course, it doesn't matter, but that won't ever stop him. Windham vs. Randalls, Reloaded 13, 2 out of 3 Falls, Career vs. Career. This is going to be epic as all hell. Buckle up, kids!

CASTOR V. STRIFE (c) vs. ERIC DANE - I never got around to commenting on Justin's post, but these two did a good job with this angle. It really got over what kind of man Eric Dane was and it allowed him some spotlight a bit quicker than he would have ever gotten otherwise. Castor has a total heel persona, but you have to love the guy for being dragged through the mud, coming up swinging, and cherishing the World Title as much as he does. The match was a pure, hatred fueled brawl. Nothing technical about it. Both guys looked strong in this. Great job with writing the match, Billy! Castor picks up a real nice title defense and now Eric Dane finds himself in no man's land. He put a lot of eggs in this basket. He's pissed off The Clan. He's pissed off The Dynasty. Impulse. Jack Bryant. Rook Black. Castor. The list goes on and on. He's alone and all he's got is Kelly and Angus. Tough spot, but I look forward to what Justin does with it!

Great show, not as long as some Reloaded shows have been, but very good none-the-less. We're forging on toward Reloaded 13 and am excited to see how this all shakes out. Keep up the great work!

 

[Legion]

Very good show - the next Reloaded is going to be one to remember given the match announced! When it comes to Legion - as Biron said Luci being taken away from Legion worked well ( I had no idea how Pants would write Legion's reaction to a greater level of madness however!) , this of course leads to a slight shift in Legion's perception of his peers.

No one that he feels he can trust since one man took his accomplice - always amusing to read Hollywood particularly his life's a ***** line, even if there's never been concrete evidence that Legion and Luci hooked up in the past there's always that sense of ambiguity there which I find a good factor - and the other in Castor supposedly abandoning him during Dane's hostile takeover (there's still the 'other Castor' thread to be resolved..) leading to the path that begins in the Dark Messenger RP.

The road to Futureshock rolls on!

I am really happy that somebody is still paying attention to the impostor angle. Haven't done much with it lately, so it's understandable that most have forgotten about it. Believe me, this is going to heat up at some point.

I had sped through Reloaded earlier but I actually sat down tonight and went through it because it deserved to be loved

Intro
Jesus, every single time. I read through it and know I couldn't possibly ever hope to achieve the same kind of intros that Katz throws out there. Katz showed me a bit of it and I thought building Reloaded's around a core concept was a great idea, I had no idea how small the part he showed me actually was. It was massive, it was detailed and it was informative. Great tone setter

Reinforcements
If you're introduced through JJ, you are automatically scum. JJ still the most loathsome man in NFW. Decent intro for The Clan's newest bizarre members.

Wet T-Shirt Contest
I like the idea of the gimmick table running outside while the show's running on the inside, Bryant's got to make up the money for not being booked Really should've launched into that signing though. Stratton being detestable... running over Bryant certainly gives a complete and total psychotic edge to the preppy-style.

EMT
Loving the Carlton Family Feud and the players within it. Complete breakdown and chaos, much like the #1 contender match at Brawl only with so many more of the teams. Interesting to see this segment is the perspective of where we are now, basically it does in retrospect an excellent job highlighting a lot of the major players in the Brawlapalooza tournament and goes to show how much tag team depth that NFW has. Cool stuff

Karma
I love the Rose segments, I love the Morale Officer gimmick. There is just something warm, fuzzy and adorable about the whole thing, which is amazing coming from a crotchety cynic like Pete. Although it is hard to be chirpy and adorable when you are talking to a human logic machine. Still somehow managing it though. Good stuff guyses.

Cruise/Bobby Jack
Some more punchable-faced JJ fun. In terms of coming back mid-some of these angles, it's a credit to the guys that I don't feel lost reading them in any way. Bobby Jack going full on destroying people because he believes it is god's will is a great idea and will be a wonderful juxtaposition and match

Cumming Home
Fun stuff from Mayfield here. Interested to see where it all leads what with Mayfield back in action and how it relates to the
Windham Clan funtime party finally coming to an end. Segment itself was simple but again, with the talent NFW has, simple segments are still great reads.

Legion/Rook
Some wonderful back and forth here that done a great job building up Legion. When I was last here, Legion was just kinda there, stuck in some sort of Varga-esque loop and probably around my level. It's amazing to see what has developed over time for the dude. Ben wrote a great match here and a well deserved win for Rook.

HoF
Holy crap is the next Reloaded going to be awesome. That is one hell of a match that I'm very much looking forward to seeing. HoF was a hot **** segment too. NFW always has a way of making me (and I'm sure others) question if you can actually hang here and the exact reason is all the people involved in this segment. So much talent and it pays off big time. Done every single thing it needed to did this.

Strife/Dane
Have to back up Biron here, this has been a good angle between you two, I feel that it did lose its way a little bit with the contract signing but what it lost there it certainly made up for during the RP period. You two were seriously going at it and really did a title match justice. The road to the match was a fun one and hell, even the fallout of the match spurred on a lot of interesting roleplays from a variety of roster members. This match was exactly what it should've been, a brutal brawl against two men intent on murdering each other for the good of the NFW title. Billy, again, quality out of the ass here and you deserve kudos for this match.

Castor has kind of a reverse of this match for his next title bout, as it is no longer two men brutally murdering each other and putting it all on the line but Castor just brutally murdering an idiot.

It seems Justin is sticking around so yeah, you have to wonder where Dane goes from here and how Dane moves forward from the loss.

Overall, stunning show that again makes me glad to be part of the place while at the same time making me realise how tough the field is wherever you look with stories to match the talent.
