Best Match: Josie and Danny Colt! There's a really slick spear reversal in this and I'm back on basic ass heel/face psychology when it's used right. Too many people won't let their heels cheat, you know? i dug this.
Best Segment: "The Land of the Godless". You can't be an evil cult if you don't bring in new members. Take note, WWE. This is why the Wyatt family failed. Anyway, I love how we start with 'We've been here before' because yeah, we have and some serious shit went down. This is a location that should instantly scare the beejesus out of a Union Battleground fan. This is a pretty major story development, as Nemesis brings another soldier under his command. Good stuff.
Best Spot: I really liked Alyssa's springboard shooting star press in the main event. That little run of offense felt like her being enraged, throwing bombs out of anger and desperation. The commentary hints at it a little bit but I would have liked to have seen them do a bit MORE of this.
Best Moment: That wild cliffhanger at the very end of the show! I like that it was written well enough that someone like me - with no context - could pick out what the problem was, get a sense of the history between the two men, and see why Axel is so freaked out.
Biggest Surprise: Again, gotta be that main event cliffhanger.
Biggest Upset: Stanton beating Finn feels like an upset. I know it was because of a no-show, but hopefully we get a rematch down the line.
MVP: This was the Alyssa Daniels episode. Her conflicts steered the show, and she won a main event! Excellent stuff.
Constructive Criticism:One thing for the Salvation segment, even though I loved it. Show don't tell. It knocks me out of the segment when description tells me how to feel. Don't tell me "Viduus looks utterly frightening and defines intimidation." Tell me how the visual looks and let me feel the way I want.
Other Notes: Thank you so much to Owen for letting me use his character this week! I absolutely loved that match, and I'm hoping it'll be a real turning point for my character.
Add your own!
