How was the main event pointless, it moved along the Moss/Randy storyline and gave Moss another victory to hold over Travis on the way to their match at Battlegrounds? Although if there was a Gma Levene stipulation or MJ appearance, then it would have tied both of our story arcs together so I'll grant you that one.

Yeah I really liked it. BattleGround match at BattleGrounds is set. Mickey, though a 'douche' got some level of 'vengence' which he needed to keep from becoming a whipping boy, and the tag match where as it's not the closest thing to an even match, as it's being played that is, is shaping up to be a show steeler for the ppv.
Moss covered the main event. I'd just like to add, again, that I love it when Alex writes a match I'm in.
The body scissors in the Everknight/JK match was for JK. This day and age I think we'll see a finish to a standing sleeper hold for a very long time unless it oblitorates the loser.
And I loved it that there was no MJ or OLL. I was 'iffy' on the whole thing when I saw it go down but after the penguin, and MJ's obvious hatred for all things not hers, it was kinda important to keep the current Senior Enforcer out of the spot light. It's like Jack Tunney from way back WWF. You didn't have any grudges and you never saw him unless it was somthing important. OLL stepping into a similiar role could work out pretty well, it's the easiest way to set her apart from every other 'general manager', and it makes her eventual fued with whoever cripples Fatty McFat Fat.
Oooh... I did not know there was a Moss/Boolzian storyline. O.o
Well, the main event made sense in that sense. Boolz v. Hastings and Roberts v. Moss... but yeah, I don't know. It was a good read BTW!
And can I say now... I'm 99% certain it's called Battleground (no s!).
I never intended the sleeper to have body scissors, otherwise it's rear naked choke. O.o It was meant to be a standing/sitting sleeper as used by Katsuyori Shibata (and Minoru Suzuki kind of). Only American pro wrestling has convinced people that certain moves are less than they really are. Like the backdrop driver, which has been a finisher in Japan for several years.
The reason I picked the sleeper was it's simplicity... yet effectiveness. The blood choke as it's also known is a deadly hold that can KO or even kill someone in a matter of seconds. Is that not enough?
WELL! Boolz objection to a regular sleeper is noted but he is but one person. Does anyone else object? If so... the sleeper can develop into Suzuki's Sata Otoshi – sleeper takedown or whatever y'want to call it... I would however prefer the regular sleeper, simply yet effective – which is what my character's all about really. There's nothing exceptionally flash about him.
And OLL doesn't have to be on every show or feature in a big segment or anything like that but since she was only announced as 'GM' on the last show, I thought it was kinda odd that she'd vanished altogether a week later. I don't know, a small segment like Boolz/Moss would've been nice.
