Firstly, it was great to see the formatting has improved a great deal. It was much easier on the eye to read, and made it a more pleasureable experience.
For me, the best promo goes to TJB. He is one of my favourite characters and to see him get mic time is great to see as he has been one of the most under-utilised talents in this efed.
So what didn't I like: A new show needs to start on a new page. If anyone wanted to search back and reference previous promos or shows, it will be near impossible if the show starts half way down the page.
Regardless of the state of the tag team division, a team debuting should have not gotten a title shot in their first match. It undermines all the teams who are there already. Same would go for any division. I hate it when people come in and have title shots immediately, even if they are a big name on these forums. If you struggle to see any one of your current roster good enough to challenge for a title before a newcomer, then there is a much bigger problem.
The matches, on the whole, were sub-par. Now I find this really wierd because Scribs writes some amazing matches (the Infection vs. Damaged Good on the last IWA Chaos show was one of the best on the show and I still maintain that Vivica vs. Juno Mercury at DFI is the best match of 2013 so far). The main event was a video. There was a build up to the match with absolutely no pay off.
Why, exactly, does the board have a dog but still decide to bark themselves? Defeats the purpose of a spokesman, surely?
I think my biggest gripe is the sharp change of direction with what seems to be everything. There was no smooth transistion from what was to what is and it is taking a fair bit to get used to. I can't spot any continuation with angles and if I didn't know any better, I could swear blind that this isn't TWE. Maybe that's just me, I don't know.
I'm also not a fan of these "If you weren't in the last show but you want to be in the next one, PM me and we will put you in" messages appearing in the thread. It's great that you accept input, but I should come to you, not you asking for it. I'm sure this is not the case, but it does seem that there is a lack of creative certainty from you guys. Sadly, you guys are not going to be able to please everyone (something I now know - I have pissed off at least 50% of my roster in the last 7 days) but I would like to see more certainty in what you want to do and your plans for the future because if you have that, then you will be set for life.
Sorry guys, but for me the show grade is a D.
I'm really sorry it is mostly negative. I have been told on many occasions that I am as subtle as a brick to the face to a fault, and as unpopular as this post will make me, I just really want to see you guys do amazingly well.
I look forward to my burial.

Firstly I want to say my sentiments are the same with Scribs, you definitely will not get buried for these comments and we look forward to them.
I want to address a few comments because I feel its important

definitely and this can definitely be improved instantly

There are no other tag teams, I said this before and ill say it again if anyone wants to bring a tag team im happy to job out N and B to them. We got negative feedback about having an away user win a Proving Ground match so how could we have give a non active tag team a title match.
Ohh and for the record: Christian won the IC title in his first match, Santino in his first appearance in the E

This I take full responsibility for as I am green at writing matches and obviously not very good though I will improve that I promise you.

Dont worry about who runs the show and how certain we are about things, we have plans that will be going from 1 week to 1 year and no amount of PMing will change that, what we are looking for are people that may not be happy they are not featured will we are giving airtime to jobbers and bots.
We may miss peoplen that think hang on I want to be on that show and I found out that I was being promised to be used extensively here before the scribbs era and found out that I in fact didnt fit into any plans... you know how hurt I was? Now I know that this is only for fun line will come out and you would be right in saying that but when you get PMed saying there are plans for you to become a top heel and you find out you werent even discussed at all... we do not want to create that culture here.

Again I will take the bullet for this one as scribbler was wanting to follow Krysys plans and I wasnt sure that the direction he was taking was
1. Fair to the users here
2. I didnt feel right with the storylines and when I expressed my concerns with SJ he was in agreeance and yeah we did change things up... It needed to.
Thanks again for your feedback and do not take my responses as aggresive or argumentative, I as well am as subtle as a sledgehammer and I will be the first to admit that this show isnt on the levels it was yet and maybe I am adding dead weight to scribbs and I wouldnt have any ill feeling if he gave me the Future endeavoured speech then I have enjoyed the ride but I hope you guys stick it out because I promise it will get better
