hmm... how far back to I have to remember that Dragon/KvK don't like each other, and was it really for more of a reason than somone like Dirge leveling Raenius in his roleplay this week?
Anyway, I don't know most of these new Convenent type members, for backstory purposes, but I do enjoy reading the segments. Jezebel turning the corner on one foot with shit, shit, shit was pretty good as was KvK's reactions.
Donovan and Calypso are back together, huh? That should be a nice a story to follow for a bit.
For the record I'm the guy for recaps, write a match for two no showers that consisted of 'lets all go to the lobby...', tied my roleplay together this week with the premise of not showing up or showing up late, and would have loved if the match ended with Dennis pointing out to Hanson and Vinegar that it's already over they can stop discussing the future.
I'm going to hold back my thoughts on Old Lady Levene for the time being. If anything the interactions between her and the roster should be a lot more fun.
Nice first show back, and sets in motion plenty to keep most busy for a while. I'd give it a good job, but I'm not sure if Brandons going to keep doing that or not.
Rob did a fucking great job of my match. He got Will spot on and I love how Will, who's a seemingly normal person is dragged into yet another chaotic, confusing and complicated angle.
The MJ/Travis/Old Lady Levene segment is perhaps my favourite non wrestling segment since I've been here. I loved the image of Mary Jo, lying broken in the ring after Rob's dismantling of her. It was a thing of beauty!
The 5 way was something different and LOL @ Moss' appearance in the tag match. Hulk Hogan, much?
And the final match was really sad. Y'know what I said earlier, Rob? Well I actually kinda felt for MJ in that match. It was like the nail in the coffin.
Also, thanks for the feed on the drunken tag match. If Moss wants to see Declan and Savana every week now, I probably did a good job!

Well I don't know what Sleaze is on about, this was a solid Sentinel.
The MJ/Old Lady Levene bit was definatly the best part of the show. I doubt anyone here saw that one coming and it's going to open up opportunitys for some really interesting promos.
Dirge's rant at the beginning was, let's say...interesting. We'll see about that.
As for matches, I enjoyed mine, nice work on that one. Will vs Hastings was very well written too. I'm wondering if Calypso's influence is going to set back all the change Donovan's gone through recently.
On the subject, congratz to all the Battleground Qualifiers. Enjoy the month.

Thanks for all the reads.
I know it’s all behind us now, but I do feel the need to defend BoolZ a little. As I can safely say I’ve been following the storyline between Mickey/Jaz/KvK, and after Toxic Intent, although KvK had obviously wronged Mickey, due to the unique dynamic of the Covenant, I myself wasn’t 100% clear on what their relationship was like. I knew it was strained, but wasn’t 100% certain of Mickey’s reactions and feelings to the situation.
I don’t think that’s because I don’t follow things, or anything was badly written, it’s purely because of the set up of The Covenant and the uniqueness of the relationships within. I mean, by the standards of what The Covenant have done to others in the past, the angle was not much more than a large practical joke, in comparison to burning people to a crisp or kidnapping and crucifying them. So it would not have been a surprise if Mickey was annoyed with KvK but not out for blood.
I think that makes sense. As I say of all the people in the fed, BoolZ is one of the few I know who has a good handle on most characters and story archs, and is certainly not someone to just ignore story. And also believe me, I know all too well how frustrating it is when people don’t follow story....
Anyway, I’m real glad it seemed the whole show went down quite well. Obviously I’m happy that the Old Lady Levene angle seems to have be received well and that it seems to have taken a lot of you bhy surprise, I’ve had this in mind since almost the second post with her involved.
I thought all the matches were solid, i think BoolZ did a great job of what could have become an ultimate clusterfuck, I think Josch is proving himself to be a very versatile match writer and thoroughly enjoyed his match, I can’t speak for the competitors but I think he displayed a good understanding of what’s going on, and Hanson convincing himself DP and AS were sober was an inspired way to approach things. Moss’ match as ever was a hugely entertaining read, I honestly don’t think a match by you has disappointed yet. And Kudos to Hastings for turning a squash match into something more entertaining.
I hope this gets everyone excited for Battleground, it is shaping up to be an interesting few weeks ahead, especially for MJ.
Thanks for everyone’s help this week, really helped pull out a good, solid show.

Looking at it now, I agree... BoolZ (real name has missed me quite a few times, so apologies) did a great job with the match. Sure, we all know NOW that Dragon's out for blood but Rob's right... compared to cruicifixions with barbed wire and explosives and torching people and breaking necks, this was a mere practical joke played by KvK to Dragon with Jezebel involved...
to the naked eye.
Of course, BoolZ had no idea the segment sent in by Brit so trying to make him into a psychic is quite impossible of me to ask. Again, it was a minor detail and I'm glad the match came out as well as it did.
Besides, it's been quite a while since all 5 of us got in the ring together to whoop each other's asses. I think it came out quite well.
