Review for Smokey Mountian Wrestling

[tony]

I must have missed the last show but either way Corino as Heavyweight Champ is a good thing! I like the rules OLD SCHOOL!

Im actually mad that I missed the last show because the match seemed really good and of course the description is flawless. I LOVE the freeze frame on the finish

Scott Hudson and Cyrus?!?! Never thought they could be so good together

1st Match:
Mr. Peanut in SMW!!! Nice little squash. O'Haire is a monster! Hopefully you do him better than the 'E. I LOVE the finish


R'N'R Express!!! Are you kidding?! Since James E is commish I'm BEGGING for one night only Midnight vs Rock and Roll!!! Anyway enough of my fantasies. Bossman and Leviathon? FACE IN PERIL!!!

2nd Match:
As short as it was I liked it cuz Nova rules. And the commentary kicks ass especially Cyrus

I really cant wait to see Edge and Christian w/o Gangrel because they obviously reek of awesomeness

3rd Match:
I was really suprised at how good this match was especially since Im not a HUGE LA Parka fan but I liked the match a lot. I loved the commentary as well or at least Cyrus' remarks on Litas twins

4th Match:
It would have been hard to believe if the R'n'R got any offense on Leviathon and it worked out good because they won and Leviathon was still kept strong

END PROMO:
I liked the Corino promo and wanted more!!! He needs to be on every show. I HATE Scorpio but thats why I love Fantasy booking because I really like your Scorpio and the Benjamin interaction was awesome.

Overall good show and cant wait for the next one. I think I like this as much as the other 2. Can you do no wrong?

Thanks very much for the review, tony! I'll go on and tackle Weekend of Thunder Night 2 if that's OK with you...

The last show is actually linked on Book. The link is in the "Archive" portion of the SMW page. The show is called "Crowned."

Glad you like Corino as champ. He might be a better heel but I like the challenge of getting him over as a face champion. The freeze frame in the intro is an homage to the old Jim Crockett Saturday shows from the 80s, which often opened that way.

I have high hopes for O'Haire, and for the team as a whole. One guy didn't like their theme music but I liked the idea of giving a heel duo really cheesy, horrible music. You're not SUPPOSED to like a bad guy's music. He's evil!

Glad you liked the RNR's return. I figured it'd make sense in real life to sprinkle in some legit guys the SMW fanbase would know to help the new guys and younguns get established...

Glad you like the Cyrus commentary, and Edge and Christian will have a major role in SMW heading forward. I decided it made more sense to put them in SMW, rather than languish in the midcard on Mayhem.

The Lucha Libre match was an absolute BEAR to write, but I'm happy with the final product.

I know it wasn't much of a main event but it appears you got what I was trying to do with the booking. Hopefully it raises the excitement level for next week's rematch, and it will be interesting to see if Bossman can better control Leviathan with tag team gold at stake.

I'm a big believer in the heavyweight champ being the focal point of a show. It especially makes sense in the "retro" environment of SMW.

Like I said, I think Corino makes a better heel and Scorpio a better face but I'm trying to flip what would be expected and go against the grain. Shelton's coming to SMW for the same reason Edge and Christian are staying there post-draft. They can be stars there, rather than midcarders at the top level.

What I like about the Scorpio direction is that yes, he's making a heel turn, but he's totally justified in doing so. He was legitimately screwed in the match by a bad call from the referee, and he's now understandably bitter as a result.

I'm really excited with where I am headed with the Scorpio-Shelton partnership. I hope you and everyone else will be, too.

you're welcome to review anytime

overall the show had a very old school sense. corino is easily a better heel but so is CM Punk and he is a face in my show but anyway Scorpio vs Corino should be awesome becuase it is a REAL feud not some phony bullcrap where that comes first and the belt comes second. excited for the next one.
