Wrestleverse 3 review

Sorry I missed the review for the last Aggression....

First I'll give props to all the matchwriters on this one. Stanton put out four matches for this show. There's not much else to say about that; the guy's a workhorse, plain and simple. All four were quality matches too. Ryan put out his typical top-notch match. He's usually the main event matchwriter and it felt like we had two main event-caliber matches on this card. Will definitely kicked ass on his cherry-popping tag battle (I'm pretty sure that was him anyway). Not the gentlest way to lose your EPW matchwriting virginity, but he took it like a champ.

That was a little crude for my typical review, but I'm gonna blame it on reading Will's blog for the last twenty minutes, which you can find at http://fwmoneyshot.blogspot.com

Shawn Hart has put together a nice winning streak lately. I think EPW could use a few more feuds/storylines. Someone should get a hold of Aston and start brainstorming with him. Guaranteed it would be one of your most enjoyable angles ever. In and out of character, one of the best.

The Miles/Massey seg was short and sweet. Some nice foreshadowing for what's to come.

I'm glad Fuse/Stalker was put in this match because I got an opportunity to see the beginning of what's going to be an intense tag division in EPW. All these teams looked good in the rp period. Almost all gimmick tag teams, which is refreshing. All of them are entertaining. I especially liked Jungle Storm with the Brazilian gimmick. It reminded me of Paul's Ice Tre gimmick, which is good company to be in. It's good to see Sergeant back too. I'm hoping to work with him in the future.

Our seg was up next. It's been a pleasure working with Justin so far and I can't stress enough the importance of respect and compromise when working an angle with someone. We've been working this feud for about eight months now. He comes up with great ideas, usually him more than me, and basically nothing is ever shot down. I sought him out because he'd been doing such amazing things with Strawsma in the Stalker/Daymon feud and when Daymon went down I saw an opening. Obviously I got lucky and he was game too. Now with Ryan in the picture the possibilities have me really excited.

I don't know what happened to Omega during the rp period, but I like both these character and have enjoyed the feud. It's good to see Frankie Scott get another much-deserved win.

There's few things I enjoy more than the wackiness of Ryan's comedy characters. CC (I never know which name he's going with at any given time) is yet another strong tag team and Ryan's been working on the Fear angle for a while now. It's nice to get another look at Fear, as Ryan had him tripping on acid this time. I was worried the mystery opponent no-showed. Should've known to expect the unexpected...

Another win for Cam, this time legitimizing his IC title reign and status as a major EPW heel. Siegel made a genius move bringing all this talent together. He's reaping the benefits of it too. Tough loss for First on the screwjob, but just a few months ago we saw JA come back from the Omega loss with a huge win over Stevens in their non-title match. One big win for First soon can put him right back up in the main event spotlight.

It'll be fun to see what Wells and Copycat do with their history. Nice post-match dialogue.

On a side note, I'd like to see more collective seggage from Anthology. I feel like this is one of the strongest forces in EPW history with an opportunity just waiting to have a HUGE impact on the landscape of the fed. I don't want them to overshadow everything else or be the next nWo, but I feel like they could really put the pressure on LT and some of the characters backstage. So what I'm saying is more seggage, collective or otherwise, and cause a little more chaos- stir up the hornet's nest, so to speak, a little more.

That said, they control the majority of the gold in the federation right now. Tact and Wells are a very strong duo. They have a plethora of competition now, so it's a good time to be the tag champs.

The Anarky/Miles/Westcott and now Tre storyline is quickly becoming the best in the fed. Three big, mean dudes... and Ice Tre. Sounds like something I want to read about.

A big when for Stevens. He wasn't able to defend the title on the first run, but now he's beaten First, JA and Daymon. There's no question that he's a legitimate World Champion and the big name in EPW for the past year at least.
