Aggression 44 Review

After reading Agression 44 the first time, I remember thinking that it was one of the most solid "TV" shows that I've read in quite a while. With the additions it may be the best one I've read in over a year.

I felt like I've been mentioning a lack of Anthology segs over the last couple reviews and chose to ignore that absence again after the first read when going over what to say in this blog post. The locker room seg was terrific and exactly what I was looking for as a fan/reader. It made things very clear that they're going after Stevens, First, Winters and Anarky while hintng at a possible Westcott feud too.

There were two other people I missed seeing in this show. I wanted more Westcott since he's number one contender and more LT, but then I considered that its better if her presence came only when truly necessary. I guess ts needless to say that I was very happy with Agg 44 2.0. The Westcott beatdown builds anticipation. I hope there's even more of him on the next Aggression.

I was very happy with the Scott/Fuse match. It was an entertaining read for me, with a fast pace. I also felt like Frankie did a great job during the promo period and I'm glad it shone through in the results.

I'm also very pleased with the progression of the Stalker/Fuse/Daymon angle. Ryan came to me with most of it, and I had a couple ideas, but certainly can't take more than a sliver of credit. A big reason I began working with Justin is because of the Stalker/Daymon feud and how impressed I was with it. I'm lucky to be a part of it now.

Writing the Winters/Tact match was a blessing. It was a great promo period. I've always enjoyed reading Tact's work and I continue to be impressed by Winters.

To cap things off, everyone knows how competitively rped the main event was this week. I really liked how the show ended with The First getting applause from the fans. While all four handlers put forth a fantastic showing, Mike and Tom took it to another level. These two put in a stellar effort.
