Note: I am an "Anti NWO guy", Not because I feel you guys don't deserve it or anything but I believe that you guy's are the best heels we have on the roster, This is no knock to anyone else's character, Fauche, Matt and Gur have all seperated themselves from the rest of the Heel heavy roster we have within the UWF. The NWO feel like they take up 90% of most shows which can be only good but sometimes it's alot to compile into a 1000(2600+) word review all my thoughts and proccesses...
Note 2: I feel the same way Gur does but about guys reading matches, Not everyone who reads the show reads the matches. Just the results as stupid as it sounds when I see a comment on about a spot I have put time and effort into thinking of get, Getting recognised it makes me motivated to continue writing, The reason I pulled back from writing my first time was my matches never got mentioned by anyone, While selfish these matches have as much work put into them as the promos guys put out. Looking to the future now that writers will have more storyline say I feel matches will become a must to read which is going to help with motivation among writers...
JYE'S REVOLUTION REVIEW
Matches written by me:
Omega/Steen- I wrote this match with alot of reversals and I attempted my best to make both guys seem on another level, I did this with the fact that both guys quality of Trash Talk was beyond great to read. I decided near the end to give Steen (Leedles) a "Visual victory" to help him further his Steen character and to show that either man could win. I felt the session was closely contended. If the roles were reversed Omega (Gur) would be the one with the visual victory and Steen with the victory. I enjoyed writing this match overall very enjoyable write up.
Hart/Hardy- I decided to write this match as a less serious affair, Hardy fighting with Hart's cat was a fun little thing I got from Hart(Wasabi) bringing out his feline friend in the Trash Talk session, Hardy (Cairns) mentioned the cat in his trash talk so I decided to bring that to life on the show, Both men have interesting characters. First off Cairns as Broken Matt Hardy is always great to read, It just sucks not to see him bring out longer TrashTalks I feel he would be able to be a world champion with how great his Hardy is at times. Wasabi with his minions is always fun to see who he will bring to front. I was happy to be able to finish writing this match as I had an issue pop up the day before deadline and had to drop the match originally.
ALEXA BLISS PROMO (ME)
I felt that Murphy could use a valet, Twist here is that she has alot of heelish tendencies as I could not base this Alexa off the original baby face Alexa from NXT Days, While this will be a challenge to keep the alignment of Murphey Face side it will be a fun time to balance it...
REVOLUTION 4/13/19 EDITION
NWO PROMO :
Character Work: ****
Enjoyment: *****
This started with Bishoff coming out to introduce Rick Rude, This title reign has lasted so damn long feels like yesterday I was writing the matches for Rude/Miz program. He is interupted by Stone Cold Kevin Nash, Very short but humourous exchange to "forfiet", I really enjoyed how this furthers NWO as a bunch of dicks. (Which I love) Next one out was The Wiz and Waryse the "and my wife" made me cringe a little, Waryse yelling Rick Rude seems abit odd, I mean she is naming her child after the champ so really makes alot of sense. The Wiz is such a kiss ass and a pervert, yuck!.
Lami Zayn coming out with a terrible accent which offended me, I need to see a cockney Sami Zayn come out this is the only way this part will make me happy. This followed by "KaBoom" which I felt was the worst impersonation out of the whole Team Austin, I mean Scorpion is god tier Sub-Zero mains are basic bitches I am not going to get in politics here but that's a no from me. Than the saviour came out to save us from Team Austin, Half of the NWO came out looking for the rest and honestly I have no idea where they are.
I am on the fence about the NWO with all titles, While they deserve it I felt the "Bottom-Feeder line" throws alot of guys under the bus. I almost want to see the NWO uprooted at Mania to be chased off, Losing all their titles and dignity in the process... The NWO are just down right dicks...
SAMOAN JOSEPH PROMO:
Character Work: *****
Enjoyment: ***
Happy to see Rey return again, The way his last run ended was abit chaotic but understanding that this is a secondary thing for most people should be taken into consideration. Joe coming out with a Joe like promo, The promo calling them outcast, unwanted in a Joe like manner he makes a bitch sandwich out Bad Luck Fale dropping the "deadweight". Methodical approach to Joe which I really enjoyed reading. Joe not mentioning much
VELVETEEN DREAM PROMO(YUCK!):
Character Work:******
Enjoyment: ***
Wording at the beginning of this promo was a little odd, Not any problem with Dreams character just a little annoyance of mine. Our first mention of NWO from a non NWO member, While it be a small it is hilarious and fits the Dreams character like a glove. After a little moving around Dream is taken in for a interview, Why is Cathy working for Forbes now? was my question as soon as I saw Cathy in the image, Than Dream reading my mind ask that question which kinda made me pop irl. This segment goes on about Dreams life long dream to become a wrestler, How he became a "successful entrepreneur". After a small amount of reminicing he brings up Adam Cole who I really missed alot of his character because I was very new to the scene, But what I saw I really wished to see more, I feel that him and Dream would of had made some memories for the UWF but alas.
Dream Energy FK was a brilliant business move apparentaly which I laugh at now, Dream wraps everything up to how he beat Sweeney not once but twice, The secret ingredient to Dream Energy and most importantly his hopes to end Rudes Intercontinental title reign. I hope Dream is the first successful title win for the PrimeTime. Going back to my first match against Leedles I wish we had the time for a second round as it was a really close session, Alas Max going to make history again for us makes me a little proud.
OMEGAS #1 ENEMY FIRST VIGNETTE OF THE NIGHT:
Enjoyment: ****
Character Work:*** (Hard to base character work of a mystery persons)
Who is this person, I am generally interested in who this Ghost is, Targetting Omega straight of the bat makes me feel like it's Gurs new character but why build a feud around your own characters if there would be no blowoff. Talking about blow offs why not blow the dust off the cartridge used to symbolise Omegas impending showdown with this ghost, The first of many levels shown of Omegas Quest shown throughout the night.
Murphy Vs Batista:
Enjoyment: **
Writing: ***
Winner: *
This match would of been great if Batista(Neon) had gotten his Trash Talk up, I feel kind of robbed of the feeling of earning this victory which hurts the work I had put into my first Trash Talk with this character. I don't hold it against Neon but I feel a void of achievement. The writing of this match first read I did not like the fact Batista got so much more licks in. Second reading though it's almost what I enjoyed most about this squash match, It makes Murphey's finisher (Murpheys Law) seem strong and that Murphy shouldn't be overlooked. I appreciate George for what he did end up putting on the table. There is only so much you can do with a no show. Thanks George for a good squash match.
Nigel/Scurll Back Together Soon?:
Enjoyment: ****
Character Work: *****
Nigel came to Scurll for advice on the ego of Neville, If this is a way of George to drop Neville I hope he doesn't. He has been making improvements as Neville and I hope to see him through the rocky stages, Could Nigel and Marty reconcile? I personally think not. This could be a nice arc to play off for Neville, I hope he doesn't watch Revolution otherwise there is going to be hell for Nigel.
Omega Promo:
Enjoyment: ****
Character Work: *****
Omega with a video gamed promo? Coincidence? I think not, Gur with his Omega is always fun to read. I like the fact this promo features the use/mention of the V Trigger alot. Something seen surprisingly often by some of the better trash talkers is the use of outside media used in promos, This makes some guys feel bigger than the UWF. This was used to bring some words to his opponent for tonight, Kevin Steen. The usage of video game analogys works great for this promo. The V-Trigger being the final boss is a nice idea. If I had access to this promo before writing the following Steen/Omega match I would of used the V-Trigger as the finish to the match alas this was a good promo.
Miz Promo:
Enjoyment: ****
Character Work:*****
Miz goes after Black, I like the idea of a Half Vs Leedles feud as both guys are fucking great and I love what they both bring to the table, Miz talks about how Aleister twist words into a narrative of his own, Bringing in the fact Aleister didn't win the rumble was a good move, Mentioning he elimated 1/10th of the field made me laugh just a little don't know why it just did. This feud could become personal if Miz doesn't watch his mouth. I really enjoy the work shown by Leedles in this promo and wish to see this feud prosper into something beautiful, Maybe Black can cost Team Austin the win at Wargames.
Nigel Apologizes to Zombie :
Enjoyment: ***
Character Work: ****
If this becomes an angel of Nigel losing control of his client, Neville I really do wish to see how this turns out. As mentioned before this Arc has very interesting paths it could travel. I can't wait to take this journey with George
AFTB Vs The Reunited USOs:
Enjoyment: ***
Writing: ***
Winner: ****
I really am on the edge of having Fauche have two sets of Characters active, I feel they are different enough from eachother it is good, The Uso's had a good showing with their Trash Talk this week which I enjoyed what I read. The match itself was a great affair, Jimmy Uso taking out everyone with such a suicidal move may have lost them the matches, Which is a shame. This match was a fun read.
Becky World Warrior:
Enjoyment: *****
Character Work: ****
YOLO and his world warriors are the highlight of my week when reading Revolution, Becky trying to weasel her way in because Sami, This is fun to read. Becky voice has almost been mastered and I hope to seee Sami and Becky destroy the tag division, Becky not having a fight contract tho is kind of blind sided by Maverick in kayfabe wise. I love the tension between Becky and Zayn.
Black Promo:
Enjoyment: *****
Character Work: ******
Okay this promo makes me positive Black will have something to do with the Wargames match, He will cost Team Austin the match so he can deal with the NWO himself. Fantasy booking here but I want to see a Champion Vs Champion match at Mania, Black Vs Sweeney for the UWF Championship. Half has been doing so damn well with his voice and everything I feel this kind of mega push is deserved in this situation as long as the Booker can book his way out of it. I always enjoy Black this promo came very very close to getting my favourite Character Work of the night, Slightly just ever so slightly losing out to Dream.
Outsiders Face To Face w/DIY:
Enjoyment: ***
Character Work: ****
Maverick coming out for the contract signing between these teams was good, Outsiders come out first with Matt spitting out a damned good promo, They continued the anti austin story perfectly. This storyline despite being over bearing is a good one to be told. DIY Coming out to counteract their points was fun. This ended as every contract signing does in violence and DIY standing tall.
Black Rose Promo:
Enjoyment: ****
Character Work: ***
This promo has moved mountains to nearly obtain the voice which I feel Neville lacks sometimes, This is no knock to George but this is going in the right direction and I can't wait for Semi to finally nail it down. This was a easy read and very different from everything else with formatting which I liked.
Marseglia Promo:
Enjoyment: ****
Character Work: *****
This promo does what the previous promo did for Neville, Its about the wargames, Marseglia is a perfect fit for Dresden it feels. I feel like I say this every week he impresses me with his consistency and I would have liked to see Marseglia with a match but alas this just shows us that not everyone can be fit onto the card. Marseglia might be a dark horse to verse the winner of the UWF Championship match for Wrestlemania, I would like to see Marseglia rip off Sweeneys arm if he somehow retains. While I would also like to see a showdown between Bodor vs Dresden at Wrestlemania, This is the sword I will die on I hope Marseglia is slated in for an opportunity for a big match come this Wrestlemania.
Sheriff Austin Promo:
Enjoyment: ****
Character Work: *****
From Dresden onto... Well Dresden with his Stone Cold character drinking a cold one with the cameraman what else would he be doing?, Sheriff Austin was fun to read. Austin Vs NWO has been a great storyline entangled with almost every faucet of the UWF apart from the few who ignore it. For now...
OMEGAS #1 ENEMY SECOND VIGNETTE OF THE NIGHT:
Enjoyment: ****
*
Character Work: -
Game Over. Another threat from Kenny Omegas #1 Enemy, I really enjoyed this short but sweet vignette almost capping off the other promo from early on in the show.
Despy fan(I?) fangirls over Suzuki:
Enjoyment: ****
*
Character Work: *****
I know its not "FanGirling" but I be damned if I didn't love this promo, Despy drinking while going over the fact that Suzuki is killer is great. I have really enjoyed Suzuki over the past few weeks more and more. I love Bodor and he is my pick to leave Wargames your new... UWF Champion, Minoru Suzuki!
A surprise return:
Enjoyment: ****
*
Character Work: *****
Welcome back Brandyn, I really enjoyed this "Jerry Irving" promo, I was genuinely shocked to see the return of Jericho after 6 months of ghosting....
Main Event: Sweeney/Marseglia vs Neville/Suzuki
Enjoyment: **
**
Writing: ***
**
Winner: -
Ok this match was fucking awesome while it lasted, Until chaos consumed the whole thing. Starting with Sweeney almost about to be killed to all the NWO Coming out. The spot with Neville, Marseglia Kaval and Zayne all doing a tope con hilos in perfect synchronisation makes my mouth water on how great that'd be. Also the visual of Bischoff with all of Team Austin and Allies is great also. This main event had alot of WCW booking placed into it. The ending of the thing ended with the stipulation if Team Austin lose. Austin will be fired, I liked this alot and see alot changing come WarGames.
Note: I am tired enjoy the review. If you read it that is.
