IWA: Insane Wrestling Association

[bearkg88]

Right, finally finished reading Lost Cause, a really great show, props to all involved. The last two matches were both really special, and really felt like a big deal. I'm going to leave some constructive critisism now, hope you don't mind. Don't get me wrong, I loved the show, but, in my eyes at least, here's how you could make it even better.

1 - Linking the show together. Now this is always a tricky part for writing shows, andit's not easy to get right, but I really feel the overall shows could benefit from being linked together better. It kind'a just felt like match after match rather than one show

2 - Overkill in the matches. Now ths may just be personal preference, so I'd like to see if others agree with me, as it could well just be me, but I think in a lot of the matches you went a bit over kill. Stuff like both guys getting back up after somebody (Shaz I think) hit a Flip Piledriver off a ladder, and Kyojin kicking out of a super package piledriver. It all just feels a bit much, and devalues the moves as a whole. Finishers should be finishers in my book, but I'm all for the occassional finisher kickout to keep things interesting, but this was happening several times in every matchup, and with the two examples I mentioned, these are't just regular finishers, these are super versions of finishers, and the match really shouldn't go on after it in my eyes. Especially in mid card matches, this shouldn't be happening. You can make an occassional exception in a main event, but in the opening few matches you shouldn't be having a flip piledriver off the top of a ladder being treated as a mid match move.

If you read this and disagree/agree, then please say. If everybody disagrees with me then there's no ay Bear should act on what I've said, and just keep doing what the majority likes, but on the other hand if many feel the same as me it means a lot more than just one guys opinion.

Don't take this as an insult Bear, it was a great show, I just want the shows to get EVEN better

Nope, I don't take it as an insult. You articulated your thoughts and came across in a constructive manner. I'd be pissed if you just bashed it now to your points.

1) What do you mean linking together? Like commentary between matches? What are you looking for?

2) as for the second one, I disagree. To me its not where the match is on the card, its the point in the feud. If i took two random guys and threw them in the match together, i wouldnt have high spots like I did in the Hawk/Shaz match, Kyojin/Hart match, or the triple threat tables match or steel cage. I get your point about consistency in that you don't want to have someone nail their finisher 3 times in a match as it takes away from the quality and makes it unrealistic. In my eyes when I write a show, if I say "Kyojin hits his finisher, goes for pin, misses, both men get to their feet" it's not like they hop back up like lickity split, they have to force themselves up. I guess that comes down to me being a little more descriptive and not assuming people are going to think the same thing I think

Also, thank you Rob. This is the kind of criticism I am looking for with shows, so I can see how you guys feel the product will be better
