No, Vasquez loses but making someone look better is usually beyond his reach - just like Wright! |

Thanks again for taking the time to do one of these, Picky. Don't worry, Tasogare no Prince isn't coming back. Bucky on the other hand... |

Gibson will have a scheduled opponent not appear due to injury, so he'll come out and claim that he'll fight anyone. Then Bucky runs out for the Ultimate Warrior-Honky Tonk Man Summerslam 88-style squash. |

Here's my take on a couple of your topics. You spent so much time repeating yourself about Craven that it came off as campaigning for him to not be booked to take the title from you. Even if that wasn't your intent, that is what it sounded like. While I agree with some of your opinions on Craven, I guess I'd break it down like this: - Moze can write very well. This is important, as that's the ultimate bare bones essence of e-wrestling; a writing contest. While not as overt "me vs him" writing competition as it was in the old days, i still is ultimately a competition for the attention and the interest of other readers. This is not the problem with Craven (nor did Picky claim anything of the sort). - Craven's major flaw as a character (besides the analgesy) is that he rarely sells for anyone psychologically. He's not the only one; Spectre and Nevermind are very similar with their unflinching mentality. The difference is that here, it weakened an angle, because Craven comes off as a Marty Stu. I agree with Picky that the RP on Showcase really undercut what happened on Shockwave. - I don't agree that such a character cannot be the champion, as long as he is willing to FINALLY have that break happen at the end of it. You can turn it to a "who can stop this monster" using the title as a reason for people to want to try... but someone has to actually do it, and Craven has to sell it. Not necessarily physically; you can beat a monster in a match without him losing his aura. But if the world title is involved, it has to be either an actual definitive loss of some kind (and this can still be done without ruining the monster aura!) or the establishment of another chickenshit bitch heel as champion. -- The 'mentioning other places' thing that Manson's RP brought up. I think it was used very well here. It served an actual, tangible purpose. The 'extraneous references' showed that these experiences were very real to this person, and provided a depth and realism to the reference. A real person who is trying to explain something to someone else, when it is not a shared experience, is prone to add a fact/opinion or two to convey a bit more context to the person he's speaking to. That is my opinion. -- Regarding Detson: the Detson I remember from WWO was very good but not great. A character that could have held his own anywhere, but probably not been main event material. The Detson I see now is main event material, and I love the fact that characters (read: handlers) from places that didn't get much 'mainstream' attention in this circle are now in a place where they are side-by-side with handlers that did... and absolutely fitting right in and showing themselves to be just as good. I think the competition made Errol step up his level (the talent pool here is DEEP), and the same is happening with Uncle Frank, Nevermind, and Manson among others. It makes me very happy to see that. |

Actually, I don't care if Craven beats Gibson for the title because even with Craven doing his typical no selling, Hayes will still be a strong character and have something to build off of (one of the merits of a bitchier heel). What I was getting at is that Craven did what Fontana did - undercut HvD as a threat when, if you think about it, Craven isn't that bright and he always does this to every character. Craven goes from madman to more lucid only when he has to ignore something that threatens the character. Moze has never shown that he will use Craven otherwise, in recent memory, and I have no inkling that he ever will and that is why Craven is fundamentally a weak candidate to carry a title unless it is to build him further as a monster (unnecessary). There are only two characters I would never drop a title to without massive protest and one of those is retired. |

And I think the reiteration came from the fact I wasn't finding the right way of framing what I wanted. Jer, you've known me long enough to know I generally don't care about losing but I do care about things making analytical sense and logical outcomes. I was annoyed with Craven basically shrugging off the psychological effects of having his ambush turned around and being the hunted. Seeing HvD get the shaft again bothered me muchly. |
