IWF: Half Baked - 05/06/2008

I definitely loved my surprising appearance... and that it was a good match, though I lost. Thanks for giving me some props (felt like it at least)

great start to the season guys things are shaping up nicely!! was suprised to be in the show!! If I had known I'd have done a promo!

Cris Mastine introduce yet another manager into the IWF. - But honestly, I would totally mark out, if at the end of the season we all find out, that the Dark Being is indeed a woman. Man, that would be awesome... AND realistic.

Hmmm now that is a good angle

Right, well, I have to speak my opinion. I'm glad everyone liked it (with the obvious exception of you-know-houly), as that means we're all happy and things are going well. I noticed a slightly different look to the show, particularly at the start, which was a nice change. The first promos and the first match were great, and really hit the season off to a great start. Then the sameyness kicked in. After several seasons, our storylines (not all of them, but many of us are guilty, me for one) are looking very obvious and linear. Though the change in look worked, that can only happen so much before it becomes samey too. Maybe it's just me, but we also have some seriously messed up characters, and not in a good way- Someone who wrestles because they want a mystical sword seems like a japanese martial arts flick, not american (well in this case mostly British) pro wrestling. However, some bits work despite this, but I just feel that our shows are becoming, while not dull, at least slightly samey. Most of us are guilty of this, and I think we need to remember this when writing promos, although some of alternatives do appear to have less to do with wrestling and more to do with mystical quests.

But those are just my thoughts. I just want to say what I think, and I'm criticising myself as much as anyone else, and I'm not criticising everyone. I'm just trying to help.

Damn, I had not notice but I have to agree with SpamuelG on this. I guess the idea I had about Biquette being an ancient voodoo godess is not that good anymore. Oh well... :p Hehe!

Looking back at the show after spam's comments I must say I see what he's saying. Its a good job I have an idea for a feud thats different and it has to wait till next season !! lol

Valid point Spammy, I feel I need to balance the gimmick out a little but that shall come in the coming weeks
