EPW Aggression 37 Review

Exactly one month to the day that the rp period ended we have Aggression 37. It's the start of the King of the Cage tournament, along with an extra Tag Team title matchup with Troy Douglas and Larry Tact facing the champs, the Forsaken.

This match was a fun one to read. It was well-written as the Champs looked like they should, while Douglas and Tact showed their disdain for each other, possibly setting up a feud between the two.

My match was similar in style, with Hart and Fusenshoff not really meshing. The week of the rp period I was working 40 hours, finishing up Finals week for two accelerated summer courses, and just didn't have time to rp until Sunday night. I couldn't even rp then because Aston beat me to the punch. I didn't check the boards again until Wednesday to vote for the TiT Finals match, and by then it was too late to post during the 24-hour extension. As a result, Fuse was Tea Bag-pinned in our match. I supposed I deserved it. I'll just pretend it didn't happen and never sign-up for a show when there's a 95% chance I'll be too busy.

I've apologized profusely to Ryan and Aston already for no-showing.

I wrote the Fallen vs Second Coming match. It was fun to re-read after writing it three weeks ago. Hopefully Justin, Adam and Patrick enjoyed it too.

The Lindsay Troy/XXX segment was the highlight of the show. Rocko dropping the title was a shock. I'm hoping Lindsay wrestles in a few matches because I really enjoy reading her promos.

I was also hoping to see some kind of segment from Miles or Beast. This show was kind of dry segment-wise, and it probably could've used it with so many tag matches. Luckily the show went up today instead of last weekend. I'll be able to sign-up for the next show. I won't be tea bagged again, you can count on it.

Pending business

I have a bad feeling about this.

Next week is midterms. I work too, like every week.

That said, I know both Supershow 9 and Agression 37 are likely to go up this weekend. That means next week I'll be in two very important matches for Fuse's wrestling career (IF Fuse/Hart move on to the next round, which I don't deserve even if Hart does, but you never know.).

Not to mention my CC title shot is against Ravager, arguably the most consistent rper in FW. This guy will stack on you in a heartbeat and never leaves any wiggle room. He'll also be coming off his biggest FW match to date, win or lose. I've been looking forward to this match for months.

During the rp period for Round One of King of the Cage I had Finals for the first half of Summer semester. I didn't rp because Sunday was my first real chance, but Aston beat me to the punch. There's nothing worse than no-showing a match.

So today's Friday. Next Wednesday and Thursday are the midterms. One is Criminal Justice, which should be cake. International Economics is going to be a lot of work. At least I can see it coming this time. I think I'm prepared for this.

On a side note, nothing really to report. I've been thinking about talking to Dave regarding this blog and EPW. I was thinking about doing a wrestler of the month or sending questions to handlers in EPW to get a closer look at the men behind the characters... its just a thought.
