I don't understand what everyone's confusion is, tbh, heh. It reads just like every other match on the show except it doesn't have "vinegar" or "hanson" in front of it.

wee I'd say it isn't as real as actual wrestling is (Mind you, that statement isn't entirely true), but when you watch WWE or TNA, the commentators are always talking unless one of the wrestlers is cutting a promo.
so thats why that one match wasn't THAT great, still good though.

First off, welcome back Hiroshima! I was quiet amused by that bit, it was well done.
Secondly, for those, confused about the match, I'm going to reiterate what Ichy said. The match was called play by play and so it isn't what I would consider a recap style. I personally find it monotonous, not to mention annoying for the writer when Hanson and Vinegar are constantly blabbing. I would rather know what's going on in the ring. This isn't real wrestling and we don't have a TV to see the action and the little bits and pieces they throw in quite frankly isn't enough for me. There may have been a few mistakes in it, but all in all I think we did a hell of a job. If you find it confusing, well, you may want to switch to reading lower level stuff.
Like one of P's rp's.

I never said I was confused by it, I simply said that it disrupted the flow a little bit because it was a different formatting than the entire rest of the show. Not better, not worse, just different.

as for the show, this was pretty freaking sweet!
I'd have to agree with Jez here, when you watch those shows, you see things the announcers don't say. A move might happen and JR says 'oh mah gawd!' that's not play by play, it's reaction.
I do see your points though about how since it's not the format of the show normally, it disrupted the flow. i wouldn't call it better or worse, as Moss pointed out, but I can see how it didn't flow.
As we said though, we were pressed for time, i didn't even know i was going to be writing it until an hour before it was supposed to be turned in, and i'm not all that familiar with this style of show, so, if i write a match again, i'll keep it in mind.
