Thank you, Steelio, for posting this thread...I only say that because I legit was just going to start this thread myself just now but you saved me the trouble!
So...to start things off, i just want to say how proud i am of this PPV. I think that the writers we are grooming to be future admins are really starting to show a lot of potential and really start to feel comfortable with the system of match writing and such we have here in IWF. Also, I feel as though Steel Angel has also begun to truly find his groove and is becoming more and more comfortable with his role as an admin here in IWF with each passing day!
Griffin Hawkins started us off with an amazing intro and then an awesome match between Sean Libby and Gordon Fury! Griffin has had some awesome storyline ideas and some awesome future visions when it comes to storylines ever since we brought him in to the IWF Creative group. With each passing week, Griffin is showing more and more of his true ability and a growing sense of comfort with the system. However there are some things he does need to work on. Such as:
-Making sure he gets the flow of conversation right [this is something Alexander Remington and some others from UECW struggle with when writing conversations for segments and such. It looks like this boys
Corey Casey
You're going to die, Stygian!
Stygian
Fuck yourself, Casey-Griffin [and you too Gordon] also need to work on including the match GFX that we include before every match. This also brings to light that some of the newer admins and show writers need to remember, the goal of any show is not only to entertain...but try to be as fluid and as uniform as possible. This is something that is challenging for any TEAM of admins...if only because u do have more than just one person writing the show. All admins should try and go back and re-read old shows to try and get a sense as to how the flow of the show looks in terms of the intro, GFX used throughout the show, proper coding for Heather Thompson, conversations, segments, etc.
-Griff...and Gordon while i'm thinking about it...you boys need to have the confidence to post your own shit LOL. As much as i appreciate you guys pm'ing your matches and segments to me for proper editing and such...i can't keep doin' it LOL. It's time for mama bird to let her little chicks fly on their own! And don't worry...if you guys fuck up too badly, i'll edit your shit for you right on the show
Anyways, Gordon Fury had the next chunk after a projectile vomiting Angelica Monroe disappeared for 24 hrs. Gordon...a big thank you is in order for you mandem so...ya know...thank you...

AREN'T YOU GOING TO SAY YOU'RE WELCOME?!
I had the next part and my show writing abilities kick fucking ass so i'm not at all worried, nor do i have any complaints about my writing bit because i rule
Steelio had the hardest chunk of the show though. The Hawk's Nest match and the Trip to Oblivion match were no fucking joke and were some of the closest voted matches on the card [besides the main event]. Steelio was pumped to finally be able to write his own damn match [I had written the last two Trip to Oblivion matches...despite Steelio coming up with the concept of the match] so he finally was able to rise to the occasion and show everyone what he could do when given a chance to write TTO. And he didn't disappoint! But, much like what seems to happen in some form or another here in IWF, real life had to stick her bitch nose in where it didn't belong and fuck with us all and prevent us from posting the show within 48 hrs
but it's ok because Steelio's matches were pretty sick
And then were was the main event...if i've said it once, i've said it a million times...Stygian can write Corey Casey like no one else...including me!!! Styg is definitely our guy in the clutch when you need a high quality, stuff of legends match and you need it to be fucking beyond words awesome! Styg has proven time and again that he is the fucking man with the plan and that he can write epic matches that leave you breathless while you read them. HE did it with Styg vs CC in the Hellzone...and Styg delivered once more with this instant classic that saw Parker Wayde finally rise up, achieve the crown he was destined to wear, and de-throne the Black Dragon from his pulpit. You know, it makes me laugh when people criticize IWF and say that only the admins get to be the champs and that the admins never ever lose because we fix match results. It makes me laugh when people point at Stygian and say "HE'S IWF'S GOLDEN BOY! STYGIAN WINS EVERY MATCH BECAUSE HE IS AN ASS KISSER AND THE ADMINS NEVER EVER EVER WANT HIM TO LOSE!"
You know why that makes me laugh? Because PYP just fucking happened that's why! Because the admins CAN and often times DO lose. Because in all honesty, just like it says at the bottom of every single card, IF YOU TRY IN IWF, YOU WILL SUCCEED!!!! We're not like other bullshit feds where the admins pick their favorites and rig matches to make their own characters look like badasses all the time or rig matches to make sure their friends win every single time. In IWF...if you show up and show up big and put forth the effort and give the people what they want...YOU WILL WIN! It's that simple folks, just give the people what they want and show us you give a fuck about your character and about IWF and you will win! The main event of Pick Your Poison II showed that!
