Best Match: Main event.
Best Promo: Shining/Adonis.
Best Piece of Booking: Smokey.
Best Debut(When Applicable): Holy Jose.
Any Piece of Booking You Didn't Like: I know that they have said otherwise, but I would have liked VHX and CAR to go on undefeated for a while longer. I wanted to see an unstoppable tag team for a while, and eventually have a huge match against BB.
Any Matches and/or Promos That Could've Been Improved: Promos are shorter and more digestible, which is certainly a step in the right direction.
Any Other Positives: See my 'overall view' below.
Any Other Constructive Criticism: There were so many mentions and plans for DFI, it kinda took the shine away from the fact that there is a PPV beforehand.
Overall Show Grade: B
Overall view
Adonis/Shining feud - I have said it one, and I will say it again - this is the hottest thing in IWA right now and it is amazing to see, but at the same time it annoys me because the Kyo/Smyth feud is no longer the hottest thing. Do not take this as a negative boys, and I am sure Eddie will agree with me. Valentina was that missing element from the feud and as soon as she was introduced, I knew it would be a game changer. Credit has to be given to the two best characters and writers right now.
Smokey - This has made the world of difference, but it actually didn't need to be the return of Smokey. Daniel May was such a background character, you barely even noticed he was there. The reason Smokey works so well is because he is a character, and a strong one at that. I didn't like the regression of going back to Icey Dubya, but Smokey is a much better alternative to May.
The Show - It is a lot better now to read. For the second week in a row, it has been a joy to read the who way through. Because of the lengths in recent weeks, it became a chore in the final third of the show, but this is a vast improvement.
IWA - Best characters, best promos, best feuds. Simple.
