Chaos Championship Abigail Knight vs 'The Cyclone' JK
Referee: Owen Peterson Purse: G$750,000
TBH, if you didn’t know something was up with all of us, you are a tard. I hate that Tailz didn’t continue as she has gotten off to a great start with this character… and yet… As far as JK: Just being honest, man, but the switching face to heel to face all in one year? It’s hard to swallow. Any big change or switch up or anything you plan to do now will just seem… I don’t know. It’s going to be hard to take seriously, ya know? Plus, I liked him better as a heel. That being said, the return as a good guy WAS played very well and made for a good read. Very triumphant. Unfortunately, with JK back in the limelight with the rebels, I’m afraid their sudden development will be shunted aside again. You’ve got a challenging year ahead of you next year. Good luck, dude.
$10,000,000 Purse Match RP Stip: RP must make use of; A Torn Pair of Gabby's Underwear, an Ooley-esque Eye Patch, Moss Edwards' Bald Cap and Johnny Blake's Journal. Duncan Ryder vs Enigma vs Ethan King vs Marek Daisuke vs Natural Born Killer vs Travis Pierce
Purse: G$10,000,000 Referees: Hazel East and Brian Chartreuse
Bitch of the Hill was GENIUS. Great gimmick. Now I’m going to try to get each person individually. Duncan has become the ultimate jerk ass heel, I love reading him because he is so ridiculously pigheaded and mean. It’s almost you have to enjoy his stuff because it’s so over the top. As far as Johnny returning… god damn, Kis, are you trying to make this as hard as possible on yourself? I loved it though, especially Hannah’s bit. Enigma… dude, I don’t know how what to say. You’ve got a lot of potential, but I feel like everytime you get the ball rolling for yourself, you just lose your gumption or something. This new angle has potential, especially with you helping out TVK. What you need is an ongoing story. I really think that could take your writing to the next level. And stick with what you’re doing, goddammit. Ethan King: As everyone else has already taken pains to point out, Jordan, this dependency angle has to be handled with care for a multitude of reasons. I think you can do it though, and it should be interesting. Marek, Bryan, I don’t know what you intend to do with that $10mil, but god, in the hands of the team that did what TVK did this year, the damn strike and all, I can see some real Chaos coming of it. I do see one flaw in your incredible abilities, and that is that when Zeke is on the up and up, Marek seems to suffer, and vice versa. If you can find a way to really balance them out, it would be awesome. Maybe since JK turned on TVK, Marek and Zeke could split up out of mutual respect (it’s really been seeming that way lately anyway) so that their friendship isn’t harmed by Zeke’s inevitable World Championship run? NBK: Not much to say that hasn’t already been said, honestly. I’ve always wanted to do a one run character in ewrestling and see how it worked, and you’ve shown me how it can be done properly by an expert. Well played. I REALLY HOPE WE GET TO SEE SOMETHING FROM YOU NEXT YEAR :-D Travis Pierce: People are surprised at how well we work together, but shit, how many times have you and I plotted things out in the past even when we were enemies? I can remember you feuding hardcore with Kis, and letting me gatecrash TPT to make a damn announcement joining his team, lol. I’ve looked forward to working with you as a team for a while, and when I was approached with it, I was more apprehensive about going heel than actually teaming up with you. Now that we’ve done it, the Piercing Weapons is one of my favorite things about this place. The end scene of your Horizons rp really summed it up, and I think you’ve done a fine job helping Jet to be more entertaining. I look forward to working with you more as the new year comes around.
Cooperative Championship Chris Peterson and Calypso Desmona vs Freak Show Central
Referee: Sam Green Purse: G$800,000
I’m going to be honest and say I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Peterson angle when it was first revealed. It honestly seemed bland. Since then, the twists and turns and developments it has gone through have made me not want to miss a moment of it. Honestly, when I’m pressed for time and can’t read every promo, I always look for the training bits in both of your posts. Calypso, as a person who has managed to get every roommate he’s ever had into ewrestling to some extent except my current gf, hell I’m just excited that The RL person behind the character is involved now. You may have slightly inspired my girl to help me out with that chaos match, so some thanks goes to you for that. FSC: Damn… what a bummer to see that split. You really play the veteran entertainer well, and it’s nice to see you still kicking despite what some could call a down year for you. It was enjoyable as hell to feud with you and then semi work with you at the beginning and middle of the year, and I’ve got to say you are one of the easiest going people around here. We don’t get to hear much from you in the OOC department, but I for one enjoy having you around. Yours are another set of posts I don’t’ miss. I’m very interested to see how Alan and Fear pan out next year.
Cross-Hemisphere Championship Hell in a Cell RP Stip: Must RP as opponent Prince Rudo vs Ezekiel Pax
Referee: Brian Chartreuse Purse: G$1,000,000
Rudo… I was slapping myself on the forehead during the reveal. All year long I’ve felt as if there were something I knew about your style, I felt we knew you. You still managed to catch me by complete surprise, and once you revealed it, all the clues over the year hit me at once and I was like HOW DID I FUCKING MISS THAT?!!? Well. Fucking. Done. Zeke, I don’t know much else to add to what I said above, but you’ve always been great for a talk or just shooting the shit as well as bouncing ideas off of. I hope to work with you even more as the new year comes. This, honestly, was the match of the night for me.
Dragon's Cave Match RP Stip: RP must include information on how best to slay a Dragon. Alex Kiseragi vs Donovan Hastings
Referee: Sam Green Purse: G$1,000,000
Where do I begin with these two legends? Both of you are masters of your craft, both of you juggle multiple characters and plots with ease, and both of you make every match you are in feel like it’s going to be the match of the century. I think it would be easier to list your few downfalls than you multitude of talents, so that’s what I’m going to do, ha! Alex, the only complaint I have is that once in a while your stories run a little dry for me. I’m sick of Katie Piper, and I hope that now that she’s broken it off it’s for good, lol. Donovan, your work, while it always gets the point across, is sometimes a little short for my taste, and I do at times feel like a little more could be said or done to add to the scene or match… only because a lot of times it feels like something great is over before it has begun.
World Heavyweight Championship RP Stip: Each competitor must portray a scene in which they discuss their demands for Horizons with The Consortium. Tyvola vs Gabrielle Montgomery vs Jet Somers
Referee: Glenn Burke Purse: G$3,000,000
OK, here we go…
Firstly, to DJS. You have really rolled with the punches this year, it can’t have been easy. A lot of things were thrown at you, and you managed to still come out pretty much on top. You have a knack for writing other people’s characters that rivals Moss, too, that should be said. I really feel as though you were Jet’s major rival this year, in or out of the HRD. I’ve toyed with the idea of working more closely with you just to see what we could come up with. Maybe next year?
Boolz, dude, you and I have gone around the block. I feel like NO ONE gets Jet like you do, hell you seem to understand him better than I do at times. When you wrote that scene not long ago with him nonchalantly pulling out the jar of black paint to cover up the scratch marks from the key… that said it all man? You are in Jet’s head, and at that point I really worried that I wouldn’t be able to beat you. You are a magnificent bastard, you have some amazing ideas, and you are fucking phenomenal at this game. When I think back to some of the giants I used to roll with, back in the Ichabod days, I think you would have fit in just fine. Back then, man, it was a very interesting mix of being about the story AND about the competition without one suffering for the other. You wrote to tell a story AND to win (because honestly, these days I don’t put as much effort into winning as I do into telling a story that will be entertaining). You would have dominated there too, buddy. We’ve talked about where Ty would go after Horizons, and I hope whatever you decide, the hits keep on coming. And despite some drama we had at the beginning of the year, know that my PM box is always open to ideas if you want to kick some around.
Lastly to Steve and Rob, I know you guys put up with a lot from me. Having been in the game for nearly fifteen years puts a guy on his guard all the time even when he’s just doing it for fun. I honestly think you guys go out of your way sometimes to accommodate everyone, and yet I still at times seem guarded. I don’t do that intentionally, and I want to thank you for putting up with it. Sometimes I feel like I’m overwhelming you guys with ideas and plots and seem scatterbrained, but you guys deal with me with a saint’s patience, and you always manage to work things out for the betterment of my stories and plans. I also appreciate the largely free pass you give me for some of my antics on shows. I’ve been in your shoes for years, believe me, and I know what it’s like, so I know what a pain I can be. I do wish I could help out more, I’ve had to run a massive ewrestling promotion on my own with zero help in the past, so I feel for you, and I think you do a great job. Thanks for giving me a place to reawaken my love for this game. I had gotten out of it for a long time, and you guys were able to ignite that spark again.
See everyone in the new year, and if you want to toss around ideas, drop me a line.

Post by Lord Hastings on Dec 6, 2011 16:45:23 GMT -5
Wow, kinda hard to believe the year is over. To me, the goal this year was to make UGWC in 2011 better than it was in 2010, and I think we accomplished that. There are a lot of bright and stand-out moments for me this year, the development of the Human Resoureces Department, I had a lot of fun with the Hastings/Kiseragi/Peterson angle, WrestleStock was simply a great concept (T-Rob!), and for me personally, it was a joy to see the continuation of old LWF concepts such as Lord of the Ring and Outlast. As for Horizons...
Chaos Championship - Just to clear things up, Tailz not participating was due mostly to a miscommunication/misunderstanding between her, Rob, and myself, again mostly on the part of me and Rob, where we thought she would be available when she had told us that she wouldn't. Horizons was committed at this point, and I promise that she will receive a rematch as soon as she rejoins us, hopefully when we reopen in January. As far as the match goes, Ichy did a great job and had some creative ideas, and since I am apparently now the poster child for getting our better halves to participate, I commend you for getting her help. The next step is to create a female counterpart for Jet, base her personality off of Bonnie, and repeatedly slant reality in your favor until she feels compelled to give the character her voice herself.
Bitch of the Hill - My directions to Kis on this match were along the lines of "I have no idea what to do with it, good luck." All I can say is wow, that match was a lot of fun. Great concept, good character use, and something I hope we revisit in the future in some way. Congrats to Bryan on the win, you've had a great year and had some tough losses, I'm happy to see you take it home.
Cooperative Championship - Without actually going back and checking, I'd guess that JK was our most frequent volunteer to write matches this year, even if sometimes we weren't able to get the stars to align in time for him to be able to write for us. Fitting, then, that he write the cooperative match, isn't it? As far as that goes, as somebody who has been present for the entire run of FSC from inception to now, it's a tough moment to read. It was even harder to write, seeing as that piece fell to me to do. Looking forward to see what comes of it.
Cross-Hemisphere Championship - I hope the match itself was enjoyable since I wrote it, as for the post-match reveal, I knew it was coming but it was still a great moment, and well-executed from Moss. Although I was aware from the start that it was the same handler, it wasn't until a couple months ago that I was reading the Rudo bio and recognized that the moveset, much like that of Moss Edwards before, both drew from that of Christopher Daniels, who was also the original Moss pic. I was pretty proud of myself for putting that together, but I also had an advantage, knowing already who the handler was. On a related topic, I'm blown away by the amount of restraint shown not only by Moss, but also by NBK and Tyvola, all of whom had major twists in their storylines that needed to be hinted at yet kept secret for a long time, well over a year in the case of Ty, and yet they all showed remarkable patience in pacing. Great storytelling.
Dragon's Cave - We all already knew that Moss can RP with other people's characters with tremendous skill. He can write them in matches just as well. This was my match of the night, and I loved all of it. I also want to thank A-Kis, who was great to work with all year, and on more than one occasion I read his RP section that focused on Chris interacting with the Hastings clan, and was left wondering what was left for me to do that week. I think there was a very natural flow between our RPs, and the storyline never dragged for me. It was some of the most fun I've had in RPing, and I thank you for that. This was a great ending to what truly was a year long feud.
World Championship - If T-Rob is good at anything, it is making more work for himself. The double championship matches was a perfect ending, however, and accomplished so much for me. - Once the results were in, Rob commented to me that he felt it was very appropriate that Tyvola would become the first person to successfully retain the title at Horizons. I would instead point out that for Horizons has often served as a passing of the torch. Travis Roberts became the GIW Unified Global Champion, and one year later lost the title to Donovan Hastings. Hastings lost the title the next year to Jet Somers. This year, while he was defending and not capturing the championship, Tyvola defeated Jet Somers, continuing the streak. - I thought that Gabby turning the tables on Pierce and using the Department's own strategies against them served as a much better moment than a full match would have given, regardless of outcome. - Having an actual main event of Tyvola vs Gabby felt like the perfect ending to a storyline that truly had covered most of the year.
Is it terrible that last night, with Horizons officially in the books, I went to bed with ideas already springing up in my head for next year? I certainly need the break, I think we all do, but come January, I'm going to be ready to go, and I think next year will be our best yet.
I'll be compiling nominations for our year end awards this week, so if you haven't submitted nominations to me yet and would like to, please do so over the next few days. I'll also update the purse which I realize is again behind.
Post by 'The Cyclone' JK on Dec 6, 2011 19:34:09 GMT -5
Brandon: I appreciate the honesty, mate. But to be fair, JK was never actually a babyface character but rather a tweener who acted somewhat heelish (such as his revenge attacks) and yet still get cheers from the fans. I've always said that I would never try to hide the fact that he had a bit of a darker side, that just came out a bit more for the past year. Plus I think most injury angles with heels always end in them becoming good guys again when they return anyway . As for the rebels, I am hoping for more matches with them over the next year, and with Paul holding the Chaos title, I'd say that'd be a strong possibility, which should rectify that problem. Stay tuned, you won't be disappointed
Real feedz to come, but great capper to the end of the year!
Post by T-Robosaurus Rex on Dec 6, 2011 21:14:31 GMT -5
So another Horizons is in the can.
I just realised tonight I've been involved with this show since 2008, and have been in control of three of them (alongside Steve obviously for the last 2, though he was a big help on the first too). Is this the best Horizons I've been involved in?
And the answer is yes, I may still be high on the whole experience but I do have my reasons.
Now it might be fair to say other Horizons have had better Main Events (The HIAC Between BoolZ, A-Kis and T-Rob was pretty sweet, but I may feelt hat for selfish reasons), that maybe their have been some matches in previous shows that added a more epic scope I.e The Vigilante Match. But I have to say that The Dragons Cave match was probably the best of the three that have been written, as I helmed the other two that might not be the highest praise, and is a definate MOTY candidate.
Add to that The 'Bitch of the Hill' which I think was an inspired idea, as it followed in the footsteps of having a different gimmick match each year, yet kept itself confined to simple wrestling scenario without Penguins or Torture Gardens and the like. WWE Have their MITB match, but I truly think they would have benefitted more by revolving the stip like we do.
But this years Horizons strongest point I think has been the fact that pretty much every match had significance. I'm pretty sure no other Horizons has had such long running storylines come to a head. Usually there are one or two feuds that have been brewing for 5-6 months previously, this year we had a Plethora. The various HRD/Jet/Gabby threads, A-Kis and Donny which is a strong Feud of the year contender, Rudo and Zeke had an intense and focused build from before Outlast that culminated fantastically, and JK/TVK. Add to that the stories that came together the reveal of Rudo, the end of the FSC, the return(?) of Johnny Blake, the New Gabrielle. And I'm probably forgetting a load of other stuff.
But all of that combined to make this one hell of a special show, which feels like a huge combined effort from everyone involved in the fed.
This seems like a good point to mention Ru...Mo...MoRudoss for his three videos. I have to say last night I was struggling to write, the G/F is ill, my incessant 'fucking typing' had kept her awake through the thin walls in out apartment, and I was finding it hard to motivate myself. At this point Steve tells me to watch the vids Rudo just sent.
I'm not sure anything has ever been a more instant validation of what Steve and I spend a lot of time doing here. The fact that MoRudoss spent the time to create and upload those meant a lot to me from the perspective of an owner.
And what a great way to make Horizons feel special, three superb hype packages, a few inconsistencies with events (but mostly because you weren't around at the time), but given the drama and epic feel you gave them that can easily be overlooked. Each video was a major compliment to each of the feuds, a particular favourite moment of mine was the shift in music during the Rudo/Zeke hype package.
I really appreciate the effort made on them, and if anyone has not watched them I urge you to do so they bring a whole different dimension to the show. I've watched them twice, and EVEN MY GF appreciated them. I won't say enjoyed, it's still wrestling after all.
And Ichy/Jet (Can't call you Brandon I think of Brown), thanks for your kind comments. You've been a joy to work with this year, we had some communication problems for a while, but I'm glad we got through them because your idea's, suggestions and willingness to adapt have made things run a lot smoother this year and I know Steve and I are grateful for this.
Back to the Bitch of the Hill match, man Matt, I miss you having a more active role in the fed. That's not me trying to guilt you into sacrificing that fabled 'life' thing we've all heard rumours about, just a genuine feeling. When you write a match you put the same level of effort and thought into it as you do your promo's, and I always, always enjoy reading them. The line about Travis being cagey about his information mad eme laugh, as did many other momments.
And obviously then there is Ty/BoolZ, what a year you've had. I think even your defeated opponents this year, and their have been many of them, would all agree that Tyvola ending this years Horizons as the pinnacle of our industry was fitting, and on a few different unsaid levels. It took you a long time to capture the big one, it was a mystery how you never captured it with BoolZ, and I honestly can't think of a better person to be the first of us to retain at Horizons. You are one of the most talented writers I've known, even if your PM's occasionally need a few re-reads, and I've been proud to have you represent us as Champion for the majority of the year.
That's not a slight on the rest of you, cause I'm proud of you all, and I mean that in a non patronizing way. It's no real secret that we're a relatively small unit, and that I have a habit of sucking and posting shows late, but this place feels incredibly important and special because of yoru commitment and skill.
I can't see William Regal without thinking of Hastings, I can't listen to Green Day without wondering why a man called Enigma needs a split personality (j/k), I see anything about MMA and I wonder how Jet would really fare in that world, I lock my windows at night because I am not entirely convinced that Tyvola is completely fictional and that his 'handler' doesn't live around the corner from me, and I watch various TV Shows and Films and wonder why the fuck MoRudoss isn't directing them and Uwe Boll still has a career.
Why we're so small isn't much of a mystery, I'm not sure many people other than former peeps know about us. I don't think there is a single handler here that wasn't with us in either GIW and LWF, which is a shame, but it just goes to show how committed you all are. We have our ups and downs, but we always finish strongly at Horizons.
On that note I hope all the RobCapping was worth it, I can't guarentee you won't see more on future editions of Synergy, but I guarantee never to Robcap a PPV...unless it makes sense to do so.
I like Steve went to bed (at 5am in the morning) and started thinking about next year, and despite my dire need for a break that proves to me this place is worth the hassle from the G/F and the late night writing sessions for me. And I hope it's worth it for all of you.
Ok, so I've been gay enough for a long time now, I've probably given P enough material to come up with a whole new derogatory term never heard by mankind before, because I have a sneaking suspicion he'll have read this and been thinking about just how gay and retarded I really am.
If anythign more comes to me I'm sure I'll reply later in the thread, as I had a lot of thoughts throughout the day.
But just one last thing.
For those of you that didn't know.
I was NBK.
Hanson: "May Roberts' soul go to a better place, free of chunky Asians, who do flips."
To join in with that 'ideas for next year' feeling, I had actually written an OOC post detailing the Top Ten Things I want to see in 2012 and Top Ten Things I don't want to see in 2012... I had some GREAT angle ideas... but it didn't post for some reason. Now that I think about it, I think I might just get you staff guys in a private convo and drop those ideas on you. I really think you'd like them.

Whaaaaaat? Ok, I had Moss clocked as Rudo a few months back. I mean, Hope/Grace, it's like you were trying to spell it out. Having the same birthday set on both accounts wasn't smooth if you were tryig to keep it secret either. I didn't for a second think Rob could be NBK though, damn.
A note on videos. Awesome of course, I really enjoyed all three but whats with that A-Kis? He's got a freakin' mullet.
As for this show, I didn't expect the broken up World Title matches. For what ended up as the opener, Ty vs Jet was incredibly intense and having two title matches just felt new, I liked that.
I wondered what was going to happen with the Chaos title and I like how it got handled. Congrats JK on picking up another title and your first (right?) with a secondary character.
Glad people liked Bitch Of The Hill. I wasn't sure how well it would work so it means alot to have gotten such positive feedback on it. I wanna congratulate Bryan on picking up the win. Marek has always been one of my favourite characters around here (which should be obvious to anyone who read Horizons '08s tag title match) and I'm excited to see him step up in competition. As for Johnny, first it was good to hear how much everyone hated Duncan by this week. I made such an effort on that in the hopes that seeing him get his ass kicked and chased out of the arena by a dual baseball bat weilding psycho would be a pleasurable experiance for everyone.
But, in response to Jet, no I'm not trying to make things hard on myself. Neither of the team formerly known as The Thames Valley Hit Squad will be back next year. If anything I'm streamlining. Rob and Steve aren't the only ones with ideas for next year.
Cooperative title match was great and it was sad to see FSC break up but from the ending I'm excited to see Fear hopefully back to the way he was immediatley after the merge. I also think Steves girlfriend (sorry, I can't remember if I've seen your name anywhere yet) is the one who really won it for us so thank you for that.
It's probably because of the personal investment I have in them but Dragon's Cave matches are always big favourites of mine and this one didn't disappoint. It was brutal, people got slashed up, beaten and burnt and I loved every moment so thank you MoRudoss. But I want to note that T-Rob, don't sell yourself short, A-Kis vs Crimson Ghost (or El Diablo Magnifico if you want to be exact) remains one of my favourite matches in the last three and a half years.
I wondered how the main event would go. I remember last time those two went head to head in just turned into a massive bout of unusual public foreplay. This managed to keep the same twisted sexual charge to it while coming off as a real Horizons main event. Congratz to TyoolZ for his dominant and continuing reign and to DJS for putting in such a good year and a strong challenge.
2. The videos were awesome. Moss, putting Yoshi Tatsu as A-Kis was pretty funny. They look nothing alike but it's okay. Again, I really liked the videos.
C. Chaos Title match: Once again, the Chaos Title gets the shaft on any form of sanctity or respect which sucks but after Paul chasing the belt for so long, I'm glad he's champion.
4. 10 Million Dollar Match: Ahem.. WOOHOO!! That is all.
4a. Just kidding. The Bitch of the Hill was an awesome idea. I really hope we use this more often. It was really well written which isn't much of a surprise because A-Kis is rather awesome with his writing abilities. Thank you for voting for me, folks. It feels good for Marek to actually have a claim to fame besides winning the GIW Tag Titles.
5. Co-Op Title match: For idea purposes that I had, I was hoping that FSC would win this. On a side note, I put more thought into my vote then just that. Anyways, congrats to Chralypso for retaining the belts. Well done, kids.
6. Hell in a Cell: Oh man.. I'll address feuding with RudoSS in a minute. This match was awesome. When the Rudites were climbing the outside of the cage and on the roof and all that, all I could think of was 'I,Robot' when the chick is trying to disarm the thing and all the robots were climbing and Will Smith almost pooped himself. Such a great match. Thank you for the effort you put into this. As for the reveal, I didn't see Moss revealing himself as Rudo but I did already know they had the same handler. Well done either way, bro.
G. Dragons Cave match: Ouch. Lots of ouch. I liked how Owen's attempts to save Donovan ultimately ended with Donovan still getting burned. This had a lot of moving parts and I really liked how the heat shields were utilized into the match. Again, well done with this one.
7. Global Title Match(es): Damn. I knew going against Tyvola was a challenge and this dude showed WHY he is one of the toughest mofos to beat in this place. Jet and Gabrielle are not to be toyed with and Tyvola took them both on and won. I applaud you, sir. Well fuckin' done.
Now that that's done with.
It's been a great year for everyone. A few of people brought in secondary characters and let them shine, mainly JK and A-Kis. I've never been with a fed this long and it's awesome to see how dedicated everyone is with this place. Even with folks getting burned out, we still had shows. Robcaps and Tycaps are better than recaps so I totally accept it.
Trav, it's okay to be a little gay sometimes. We know how much you appreciate our hard work and we appreciate your hard work right back, bro. Plus, doing everything you did and RP as one of the most interesting characters in the fed. High five. Multiple times.
I can't remember who said this earlier but I have to agree that Donny vs A-Kis is definitely a Feud of the Year nominee. The way you guys both used each others characters through all this was amazing. I told Matt how it didn't seem any different between posts on who was writing as who. I'm interesting to see what Donny has in store next year now that his main target is out of the picture.
I can't say enough good things about this year. I found the most success I've ever had as an efedder this year and was able to work with some awesome people. This feud with Rudo may have been my favorite this year. Even though it wasn't a World Title match, I'd say this was Ezekiel's biggest match of his career. I'm glad to have been able to step up my game and receive was awesome feedback from some good folks.
Congrats to everyone on a great year. Glad to see this place end the year on a high note and continue onto the next year.

I'm glad everyone liked the videos. As to why Alex was portrayed by Yoshi Tatsu, it was the only way to get a decent dragon graphic on his tights haha. They haven't given us Wii-users a paint tool yet.
And I was really worried that I wouldn't have done the Dragon's Cave justice so I am so relieved you guys liked the match.
Splitting the main event on either of the rest of the card was very cool, and each of the matches were unique. Ty and Gabby working out their relationship issues in the ring was very entertaining, and I really wasn't sure if Ty was going to walk out of either match with the belt.
Congrats to JK for the cool return segment and for getting Paul the Chaos Title. I've always enjoyed the Paul Cockatoo character and I'm glad he has a reason to continue growing.
I saw the Deimos turn coming after his promo, but it was still handled very well. It didn't feel cliche because it fit into their history.
AKis, that match concept was genius, as was the moment of "My daddy's gonna kill you". Congrats to Bryan for winning a giant purse. Hope it goes well with your shoes.
The HIAC match was such a clusterbang, very cool stuff to read. And I could not have asked for a better foil the last couple months, I just know that some time over the next year Moss and Zeke are going to tear the house down (this time without people crawling on it). I definitely left lots of clues over the past few months so that the reveal would make sense, both IC and OOC, so I'm glad it got a positive response.
I missed a big chunk in between, but from the shows I have been around for, this is the best overall result, all killer no filler.

Really great event! Loved it from start to finish, I'm not going to touch on every match, but a few things that stuck out to me...
The videos were awesome to watch, and it was really neat to see Pierce and his presence in them.
Of course I'm disappointed to have not won Bitch of the Hill, but it was a lot of fun to read with the characters played perfectly, congrats to Zeke getting the win with Marek. I had a lot of fun with my cash-in storyline last year, hope you can top it.
Enjoyed the Hell in a Cell and the reveal of Rudo's true identity, certainly changes a lot of things from the past year. I guess when they were both in the same place, it was one of the Circle wearing the mask instead?
Having a bit of trouble with the logic in JK's return. Ezekiel has just been through a brutal HiaC Match during which he was repeatedly pretty much dicked over, kicked out of Rudo's special big match finisher, before finally falling in part due to the shock of the identity reveal, and as he is lying in a bloody heap, JK returns to attack him and...JK is the face? The reaction didn't feel genuine, but that's just me. In any case, looking forward to how this develops next year.
Dragon's Cave Match was great, perfect end to a phenomenal feud, and Tyvola ending the year with another big defense is the right way to end. At least I can say I lost the title to a guy that's still undefeated lol.
Great work everyone, a really fun ride, can't wait for January!
