Review for CWF Mayhem - Redemption!

Review for CWF Mayhem Pay Per View: Redemption

Card looks great… cannot wait to read all of these matches, Tenn!

Great opening with the kid in confession, Tenn. Pretty bad ass.

Match: Kurt Angle vs. Dean Malenko
I loved, loved, loved this opening match. I was rooting hard for Malenko to win, especially after reading his comments on the pre-show. The match itself was awesome, lot of near falls. It looked like Malenko was going to be the sure winner of this match but I guess it was not his night. I loved how Angle ended up winning the match... it suits his heel character so well and also continues his ‘never pinned’ streak. Excellent opening match.

Nice promo from Van Dam…

Match: Rob Van Dam vs.
William Regal as the mystery opponent is pretty awesome. The match itself was really good, I loved how it flowed. Regal plays such an awesome heel in real life and I think you captured his style and attitude extremely well. Of course, I was rooting for Van Dam but I liked how Regal won the match with the nasty heel tactics. Gotta love his brass knucks. Decent match, brother. The ending of the match was almost more entertaining than the match itself! I am a huge Taz mark so I am pumped he is now a member of CWF. Davey Boy vs. Taz!?!? Right now!?!?!? Gotta love the special attraction matches!

Match: Davey Boy Smith vs. Taz
Awesome that Taz gets the win with the Tazmission. There will definitely be a match between the two soon enough.

Ha Lash taking Davey Boy’s spot in the Gauntlet…

Match: Intercontinental Championship Gauntlet
The entire Gauntlet was really put together well. I loved how two giants like Big Show and Haku start the Gauntlet off. It looks like Big Show was going to dominate after defeating Haku and Lash but The Road Dog does some heavy damage (while eliminating himself in the process) in order to allow Billy Gunn to pick up the pin and eliminate The Big Show… but Ken Shamrock eventually beats Gunn to become the Intercontinental Champion. Pretty damn awesome match there, perfectly put together.

Well at least Davey Boy and Regal have a cooler name than ‘The British Bulldogs’…

Match: Six-Man Mayhem
Oh man what can I say about this match. Very fast paced, lot’s of excitement. The ending of the match was quiet a shocker as ‘Super Calo’ un-masks only to reveal the sneak Justin Credible! What an awesome way to debut Credible, bro. Looks like Chavo Guerrero Sr. has a crisis on his hands…

OOO the debut of Vince’s daughter, Stephanie!

Goldust with a bizarre promo as always… and pays for it as a pissed of Big Show nearly kills him! The Outlaws better not show up on Mayhem…

Looks like we can be expecting some great future Cruiserweight matches. Eddie vs. Credible is an obvious must…

Match: North American Tag Team Championship Three Way Dance
I really digged this match, Tenn. Lots of great action and I am very happy Hostile Takeover where the first team eliminated. I was pulling for Test and Hakushi and they eventually retain their straps. Looks like a D’Lo vs. Mark Henry feud may be coming up. Excellent match though, buddy.

Really amusing Kurt Angle segment…

Match: Kurt Angle vs. Rob Van Dam
Wow what a match, Tenn. Probably my favorite of the night for several reasons. One reason was that it was a greatly put together match. Lots of excitement and I loved how Angle and Van Dam combined their styles. Second reason was that I love Van Dam. I love Angle, don’t get me wrong… but I like RVD a bit more. I’m really excited for RVD and winning this tournament is something that may possibly elevate him to better things.

Nice plug for Windy City Wrestling!

Match: Sabu vs. Chris Benoit
WOAH! MATCH OF THE FUCKING NIGHT, TENN! What a total, shocking swerve. I cannot believe Benoit joined up with Vince and Sabu! But I simply cannot believe that TAZ shows up and WINS the World Championship! HOLY SHIT! I am so psyched. What a mind blowing debut for Taz… my God.

Tenn, I give you a standing ovation for the entire pay per view. The main event was simply spectacular. As a young booker, as someone who looks up to you, I was simply blown away. Amazing show. 10/10

Don't mean to insult you but I have just wrote you a review but honestly matey the more and more I wrote it just seemed like I was criticising your work which I appreiciate you have busted your balls over but in my opinion there was to much wrong with that PPV some good but not enough.

What I will say is, is that your are making the hard things look easy but the easy things look hard...

I know you are probably thinking...who is this punk? what has he posted? Maybe you don't care for my opinion and why would you but that is my opinion.

Final thoughts... Less is More

Didn't mean to cause any offence, Peace

Negative criticism does not bother me in the slightest, so long as it's intelligent.

I'm a big boy. Fire away.

Before I want to start I want to let you know that I have re read your show and I'm going to admit that it wasn't half as bad as I made out. In fact after re reading there is alot that I will give you credit for overall it is a very good show, I applaud you...

However the main things that bothered me are still bothering me even after reading it again and I've been trying to work out why and these are the two possibilities

1. The show was a really good show and these things stopped it from being an even better show or

2. You have a reputation on here and from previous sites as one of the best and I'm sure rightly so but after reading the show I was probably expecting better

These are what my main problems were with the show for my liking there was to much going on and some it wasn't needed on this show, there wasn't enough clean finishes in the matches, didn't like RVD losing to Regal, Justin Credible pulling off the mask ruined what was going to be the match of the night for me if that was the only shock of the night it would have been huge but it was just apart of the show and quickly forgotton about after, Big Show didn't need to come back out it's obvious he is going to want revenge. Also with what was going to happen in the Main Event I think that Taz's return was wasted on Davey Boy Smith but it did give an RVD-Tazz tease but that still could have been saved for another time...

Now on to the Main Event... Ok to start with was never a fan of the proposed Sabu-Lash Main Event but then Chris Benoit replaced Lash after beating him on the pregame show that was good and it promised to be a good Main Event and Benoit and Sabu have history...

(I would have just had Sabu go over and then after the match had Sabu and Vince beat down on Benoit then have Taz return and make the save choke out the champ as Vince watches in horror. Crowd goes home happy, Sabu would then look like a strong Champion and people would want to see Taz get a shot and win the title at a later point)

With what you did you turned Benoit when there was no need to turn him then you cancelled the 2nd planned Main Event on the Pay Per View and then you gave away Taz-Sabu to early, I know we are just reading this and don't want to get to involved but that would have cost you alot of money not advertising that match!

I know there is alot there that I have had a complaint about but honestly it was a good show your attention to detail is great and you do things that I would have never thought off, all of your matches were very good until your finishes it was like you were trying to protect everyone also apprieciate how you shock us and you can tell there is long term booking planned (Taz-RVD?)

Maybe I am the only one that thinks this and everyone else may thing it was a great show which they could but that is my opinion no one has to agree with it but at the same time I am looking forward to your next show and maybe there was this many things going on because it was a debut show I just feel they could have been spread out a little better.

Hope that's intelligent enough for you,
Til next time, sleep easy... Peace

I look forward to your review off my first show which will coming soon!

Thanks for the feedback. I'll respond when I'm not working a 12-hour day tomorrow.

As far as the intelligent comment, at least you explained why you disliked some things and didn't just say "OMG UR SHOW IS 2 LONG!"
