FEED FUCKIN BACK!!!
I'll not put this its own coloumn thread because I think everyone is already buzzing from the new Legacy Online and it be a little too late. I will say that as of writing this I am unaware of what is happening on this week's Legacy Online (though from what I have seen ooc I think the reveal has been revealed on Angel's kidnapper story and no I don't know who it is).
...................
Going way back to the beginnings of the supershow I'm sorry but it started terrible. Whomever said somewhere (it may have been Max). Aside from maybe the main event the best spot is the opener and there really is no better time. We all got locker rooms and really someone should have had their match done and burst onto the scene with that match right there.
Honestly - there would have been no other match as read as much and as detailed as that one and it was a real miss for many of the matches that they didn't get in there and take that spot for their own!!! Remember that this is the place to make most impact - the first couple of posts.
Trey Spruance's return to Legacy following injury was a nice little squash and really I wanna see Trey get himself someone/something meaningful here to work with to see if he can go! I remember in the last days of the FHT (before the FHT/ELITE merger) along with Eric Scorpio as "the new generation of hardcore" (someone should use that moniker) coming through and they had seemingly a great future here - fast forward 5 years and still Trey is trying to get something to do after many departures.
If I had to say someone right now - Davey Hughes (my boy) would make for a great programme with Trey Spruance. Regardless as I have said many times - you got nothing to do - go out - squash - keep your name on the show and Trey did exactly that!
Traumaward/Freda - honestly I read it - I couldn't tell you naything about it now some 2 weeks after I read it. Liked the world of sport stips (something that is so unique and hasn't been done but I think again - its all about pulling people into the story and I don't think that has been done with these ladies - someone above me mentioned mixed tag team matches in passing and maybe thats where its needs to go. I love the effort - I love that the division is right now being written better than the WWE Divas division and indeed TNA's knockouts. But the fact is we need that one moment to really inspire / bring everyone into the division - an exploding speedboat!?! I like giving feedback on this division and I also hope NIN don't find me harsh but I don't see many others talking about the weekly exploits of this division.
SCSA - I remember reading this promo a week and half ago and loving it. I just re-read it in prepartion for this column and comparing it with the original Austin promo to kick start this storyline about 3/4 weeks ago - its inferior. John and me have this whole Professor X/Magneto thing going - two old bitter sworn enemies who can sit in a room and talk back and forth - sharing some beliefs but disagreeing on other things. I got a lot of time for that guy.
This maybe ties in later feedback but I'll go now. I think Keith Williams/Stone Cold Steve Austin ain't clicking. We've seen it before - its an old story that needs brought smack dab into the Legacy times. Keith Williams/Alexei Petrovich would definitely draw more buys on pay per view if you ask me (look at me I'm talking like this is real). But in saying that Stone Cold Steve Austin versus Matthew Logan similarly would sell more buys! I think the grudge is great - I think a match between the two would be great - but I think a feud featuring Keith/Austin exclusively wouldn't work. HELL I COULD BE WRONG - I VERY OFTEN AM!!!
I loved when John cut into other things on the card last promo round. It showed me what a great fan he is - I know there are guys here who really have no clue whats going on outside their immediate bubble - its shows in their feedback or even in their general lack of it - John is always reading - he sold alot of shit in his last promo. I've seen "the last grudge" from John before feud if you know what I mean. What I want now?
CAREER RELAUNCHED STONE COLD!!! Courted by Vince McMahon for a return to WWE / Stone Cold signs a contract with Legacy Wrestling. Honestly - we promote cards with the highest grossing wrestling star of all time - it puts us on the map! And it should be done like this. Austin being on our show shouldn't be a promo mid show/ppv with no build - it should be built - an appearance from STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN!!! Everyone should be watching. Heels/faces alike should be marking out to have this guy in our locker room. And I'm not saying Austin should come in here and put new guys over or nothing. I think he is credibly still gonan beat everyone he meets - out of respect I never had Lbm go over Austin - he's fucking Steve Austin!!! A beating from him was an honor!
I've ranted and raved a little. I just seen little flaws in logic in the story that need ironed out - Keith is a business man - having Austin on his shows could make Legacy really big! It should be a big fucking deal when Austin is on here - not just another part of the show. And Keith shouldn't wanna see Austin embarrassed etc... He should see dollars in his yees at the prospect of Austin in a match with his protege Logan though!!!
David has been fucking excellent since his return. The slow build was a credit to the lad - the real asshole character has has created from such a lovable lad. I think the fact he's been away as long as he has also helps. Its akin to Shawn Michaels 4/5 years away. We wanna see has David still got it - and really theres so much curiosity as to how he fares in Legacy/will he last I think its really interesting.
I just hope he's got a feud lined up to get himself back in the swing of things. Its like David went from battered kid to this conceited man who seems very very dangerous. I like the Gary King side story though I think with Gary King the only play by play guy - it had to be no sold slightly in getting everyone's matches up. Maybe we need to build another face backstage to assume the hot seat somewhat?!?!
The Richard Ferguson thing is a little confusing to the casual reader - not to me - but that needs established somewhat more - some sort of interaction with Keith Williams / perhaps. I'm seeing Ferguson/Laurantius comparisons. Kind of like Keith's lackey who he sends out to do stuff for him! David is marketable but back here - he could be an obvious opponent for a number of faces - Alexei vs David would be a hardcore dream match and i have already mentioned a Trey Spruance programme off hand. But then there's a Red Ninja feud perhaps?!?
Triple threats are a bitch to read!!! Always hard to follow. Though luckily I feel Ace (who I like personally but does shit to contribute in here) was a spare part and as such I could buy into the emergence of Matthew Logan. keith on commentary was great - no selling somewhat the earliar Austin stuff however / I was crying out for an Austin appearance in the end of this match. I had no issue with the ending (you could have jobbed out Ace to anyone - former FHT & ELITE champion - would have benefitted both men to pin this jabroni). But I liked it.
Alexei has a great character and I liked the slow burning animosiot New York had to him and I think now he's face. I see him as the success story of Legacy thus far. As far I can see he should be up there as one of our top faces after only Dark Angel/Reverend Daddy Joe (god bless him). Keith Williams/Alexei Petrovich on the back burner is what I wanna see and really this could steal the show from everyone these next few weeks if as I mentioned earliar...
Matthew Logan/Keith Williams/Steve Austin/Alexei Petrovich turns out! You got tag matches - you got the inclusion of the Internet Title!!! Flip I could see this being great - Austin as internet champion/Logan as internet champion/keith wrestling a few matches!!! Build this story right / even have another heel join the ranks and its a good storyline that could go multiple directions and have some great matches!!! Internet title on the line in a tag match - ohhhhh that be sweet!!!
NOW... Nin's second match of the night!!! Well in case you didn't realise - I LOVED IT!!! I read this on my lunch break in work on my phone three days ago and I loved it. Supershredder costume Meiko!!! Great image - scared/anxious little Nina Wagner (Lbm calls her Wags for short). This was everything the last women's match wasn't.
Selfish reasons - I liked seeing my name in there - and it helped me appreciate it - but thats what you need to do to hook guys in - the slightest briefest mention of someone else does undeniably bring you into a story - Lbm interacted with Nina Wagner a few times on television in the last few months - why because (A) I wanted to bring a little bit of interest to the LLW through my own work and (B) Seflishly I liked Lbm have a little lady interest at all times. It suited me and NIN both and is a great little back burning story.
Meiko was furious and honestly she became the second most over lady in my eyes with this one. Relentless - valiant fight back from Wags. Loved the suddenest of the comeback being thwarted into a pin by Meiko. I just really enjoying reading this NIN compared with the first ladies match. Would be interested to know how others compared the two - whether Lbm's exchanges with Nina helped to make others care more/less bout the character.
I don't know but I'd say NIN as the biggest supporter/critic of your LLW - this was the LLW match of the year for me!!! And now the big one!!! Reece Krispies and Chasington's World of Adventure!!! You two cads!!!
As I said earliar in the feedback!!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Oh I visiualised this match. I would honestly go out and buy a dvd of this to watch it! I aint a big book reader (bar wrestling autobiographies - which is why matches are such a struggle to read - having to visualise everything). But you totally nailed it!!! Split cage ? (what the fuck?) Silly ass name/gimmick I thought going in.
What did old Reece do - he had commentary explain it / description explain it / commentary re explain it. Wrapping the wire around the middle of the cage. You made it so plain as day - I always have hated the big silly extreme matches in here prefering the plain and simple storytelling matches but damn you boys combined this. Hated the gimmick in preparation. Loved it in execution. It was over the top silly - but so is pulling a gun on someone - so is old burned face himself's disfiguration but it just worked.
Dare I say it you made it all seem so realistic?!? That kidnapper sitting there watching. Just imagined big black boots on him (see him a little as Bane - was I supposed to?!?). Watching - moving closer. All the while this excellent battle takes place. The times the barbed wire clung... it was all so visual!
The bastard chair shots that saw the mild mannered Dark Angel just snap under the strain of all this torment the kidnappers/TPC has leveled his way. The stoppage!!! It was so good! It was such a great story / still is such a great story. Then the speech!!!
This is were the Bane thing hit me - I just seen this guy making this speech while Angel was there hanging "while your up there like the beast you are" (or something to that effect). I just loved it. You guys really really stole the show with that one there!!!
Chase - the guy who gets so much shit ooc - just delivered the match/feud of the year in here along with DA!!! DA took six months of arguably - bad booking (his own fault) of his character and erased it and FINALLY - the man who should be this company's top face became this companys top face all the while adding this totally nasty side to him when he beat Chase like he did!!! I am so glad this match happened!!!
And you know what - it has people talking. So so so good! Really one of / if not the best match that I've ever read after 10 years doing this thing. If the storyline hadn't of been so good - who knows the same match might have sucked but no - you get a good story going and you produce a match like this - its gold!!! Top marks to both men!!!
