---------------------------------------------------Night of Grudges----------------------------------------------------

Heeeeeeello, and welcome to the tower of the Everlasting Perspective, where opinions fly freely through the air. Finally, it's time for Night of Grudges! I'm actually kinda happy it was finally posted, it felt like forever to wait for this. Get your candy out and wrap a warm blanket around ya.

As always, be constructive, nice, etcetera. Now let's get to the main course! Today's review is sponsored by 24 Karat Productions.

JORDAN DELUX VS MALCOM METAL - Standard > Wow. That just made me more excited to see more of Delux, really. Way to short to give a fair rating, however.

THE REAPER VS GEORGE ADAMS - Standard > Good match! Really liked the pacing through out. 6/10.

FAITH BREAKERS VS JOHN HALL/RODRIGO MACHADO - Standard Tag > Random poke at WAC/WWR in the start. Neat match, nice pacing. 5/10.

TIEN VS SQUAT - Standard > You made this in a summed-up format. THANK YOU.

DAVID MIERENEUKER VS SCOTTIE ADAMS - Standard > DLR is gone? NOOOOO! Gets a 6/10 on the postmatch brawl scale.

SEBASTIEN MARBURG VS EXODUS LICAIRNE - Standard > Summed up. Would've liked to see Marburg in full action though.

EL DEMONICO TALKING - > Kinda cool, actually. But what's with all the mysterious, funny characters just dissappearing? Isn't the headbooker of the team a fan of comedy wrestling?

RON ELLIS - > Neat introduction!

ATOMIC PUNKS VS POWER & PAIN - > Another summed up match. Great. I miss Ajax and Cowboy though..

VALERIE KNOT VS SARAH KAMINSKY - Standard > Decent. 6/10

JOEL CARTER VS PHREAK - Main Event for EWA World title > Was a good match, 6/10.

FINAL VERDICT: Well, this show was actually consistently good. However, I have a theory to share with the EWA team. I've discussed this with a mate and we came up with a conclusion that maybe you should have smaller show-cards. This would give the readers more wrestling action, and you would be able to put out shows more often. Also, every match seems to be striving for the 'epic' feel, but when you have four-five matches on the same card that all tries to be epic, they cancel eachother out - AND burns the writers out, I'm sure.

- Because I Can.

Thanks for the review. But would it kill you to rate over 6/10? I think there's only been one time you've given a match more than 6, even though you say they're good matches. Remember a 6/10 is only 60%, which is borderline failing in most schools, lol. And you said Knot vs. Kaminsky was "decent" and gave it 6, but you said Phreak vs. Carter was a good match, and gave it the same rating? I'm confused as to how you rate your matches.

Like YCW, I hate to nit pick, but numbers are not good feedback. What did or didn't you like ABOUT IT.

Well, sometimes I just think of a match as ''good''. Like any other real wrestling show nothing really stands out in the match. Nothing's wrong, I don't dislike any of it. If you see a 6/10 rating you can give yourself a pat on the back because I see it as Perfectly Acceptable Wrestling. :p


YCW: I've given two matches at Zero Hour 8/10 ratings, I'm just saying. Those matches were REALLY good. And I'm not a school. The words I say before the rating ''Good''/''Neat''/''Sucks'' has nothing to do with the rating.

How do they have nothing to do with the rating? I hate to ask but I'm really confused.

Hm, I've been up posting early again.

What I meant was that when I say ''Neat'' or ''Decent'' or ''Good'', I as a foreigner doesn't see much difference between those words, and I simply use them interchangeable.

I'm still confused as well. How can you give a match the same ratings if you use words like decent & good. Those dont mean the same thing.

I've always been under the impression that they do.

Decent is like so so or 55/45 to maybe 64/36. In other words, take it or leave it. Not good but not bad.

Good is like 65/35 to 75/25.

To add to the confusion, isn't it the other way round?
My head hurts..

Whatever. The point is we all think your ratings do not truly represent the quality of the matches. I'm not saying that because I'm a writer, but because I truly disagree with most of what you're saying. I hate doing this, but come on, Phreak vs. Joel Carter (I didn't write it) told an AMAZING story, and your review of that match tells me that you either don't appreciate it or didn't even read it/pay attention to it.

I paid attention. An opinon is something everyone has. I won't rat around and say everythings amazing because you put your heart into it, I'll say what impression it gave me.

What does comedy wrestling have to do with it?

Turning him into a character who strived to be serious was actually OMEGABLACK420's idea before he got deleted in the massive data loss that led to the creation of WA.

I believe that he thinks El Demonico is a comedy wrestler. If thats not it than i am defintely lost as well....

I don't see El Demonico as a comedy wrestler. I said ''mysterious, funny characters''. DLR is unmasked, El Demonico is unmasked, all mysterious characters dissappear and I think it's just kinda sad because I liked both chars before that happened. Since I saw DLR as your main income of comedy, I said ''Isn't the headbooker of the team a fan of comedy wrestling?'' wrong place to place it, perhaps, sure.

Comedy wrestling is hard to write. it just doesn't come across as well. I have tried writing one between Scottie and Mothis. If anyone else wants to take a stab at it (with almost anyone on the roster, really, with a few exceptions being the Faith Breakers, Carter, Carnage, Stevens, Aggro, Reaper, or Carnival) PM it to one of the writers and we'll look it over.
