Event: Chapter II: World War Night One - May 21st, 2015
Best Match: Salazar/Mandell, got the "big match feeling" just right for me.
Best Segment: The Driftwood/Blake segment was extremely good, set up both of the characters really well.
Best Spot: "You don't even care! Because you don't have a face!"
Best Angle: Salazar and Gonzales establishing their friendship both in the segment and in the post-match
Best Roleplay: Thought it was Salazar and Gonzales tied this week, very well-written.
MVP: Pedro Gonzales
Biggest Surprise: Olethros getting the better of both Salazar and Gonzales at the same time - pure kayfabe-wise, Armada winning is up there too.
Other Comments: Not much more to say, psyched to see the pre-show peeps on the main roster this cycle.

Event: Chapter II: World War Night One - May 21st, 2015
Best Match: Olethros vs Pedro. Great match!
Best Segment: Definitely enjoyed Cutter coming down in an attempt to steal the belt. It fit his personality to a tee, and then bringing Brooklyn out to stop it was a nice touch. I think and hope this leads to a story with Brook/Cutter. I'd love another chance at him.
Best Spot: The submission on Mandell where he refused to give up and instead passed out.
Best Angle: Too many good ones right now to pick just one.
Best Roleplay: Olethros
MVP: Olethros. Big win in the main event and then he made a statement after the match.
Biggest Surprise: Avalon Blake being knocked out by Armada. I don't think anyone expected that when the match was announced.
Other Comments: Great follow up to Convergence. Last time the stories were told through matches, that continued this week but the segs mixed in to help build/develop feuds and stories were a nice addition. I prefer this show to the last. I'm also a big fan of what you do with the commentary, it really gives the reader a glimpse into the character and what they are about. Nice job on that. I also like post match happenings whether its attacks, or reactions from the wrestlers, or just letting us know if the wrestler who lost is getting up or if they are hurt, you had that in this show too so great great job.

Event: Chapter II: World War Night One - May 21st, 2015
Best Match: Mandell v Salazar, in the vein of a Lesnar squash match ending with an incredible comeback, but without the howling of a determined Cena. Good. That's not what this one called for. Cesar didn't need to be that kind of babyface. Again, as I said in my previous feedback, you must keep up the character development through in-ring action. It's the best thing Pangaea does, to me, and although it isn't an easily marketable trait of yours to tweet, I can't see even those who lose here not appreciating the amount of care you put into writing these matches. Unlike a lot of your eWo stuff, I feel here we see you use violence in a way that enhances all the characters because that's what this entire story depends on. You've always been good with spot monkeying and stretching the action to feel 'Main Event' to some, but this one here really feels Main Event for character reasons and not descriptive flash.
Best Segment: Pedro & Salazar's hallway encounter isn't what either of us handlers had in mind. Our version would be backstory heavy and add color to these grey men, but you stripping the submitted idea bare made me laugh because them as acquaintances releases a lot of hot air in our balloon. Perhaps they needn't be so serious about a previous fed's wartime. And given how the show ends, the usual set up of two babyfaces respecting one another and later both are disrespected by an emerging heel does set up the next card, and it works because of the character dynamics. I don't have a problem with this at all. I laugh because this is such a wrestling thing to do, and Pangaea (more so than eWo and PWA) is unashamed in its embrace of standard wrestling.
Best Spot: "Blake went to get up but Armada hit her with a surprising snap roundhouse kick to the face. This must have had some serious force as Blake's eyes rolled back into her head and she fell, out cold. Armada, knowing he had a small window to capitalize, climbed to the top rope and nailed a beautiful Divine Rapier. He landed hard on Blake and pinned, getting a three count!" - a wonderful win following an embarrassing debut
Best Angle: There is no angle deserving of this spot right now. Pieces are moving across the board, and seeds are plant for later returns.
Best Roleplay: Olethros
MVP: Pedro Gonzalez
Biggest Surprise: Grand Championship reveal. I figured this tournament would be about a belt but I kinda anticipated a prize stipulating a match for the real thing.
Other Comments: So much of the answer to winning matches depends on bonus points. I don't know if that's good yet, but clearly it helps the fed in activity.

Best Match: Salazar/Mandell for the assbeatings, Armada/Avalon for the feel goods.
Best Segment: "I did it! I killed the beast! I beat a boss fight on my first try!"
Best Spot: Mandell rubs his head in frustration and called out for the end. Salazar stood, bloody and fucked as Mandell ran and went for his KTFO! but at the last second Salazar was able to transition it into a Texas cloverleaf! The audience could not believe it.
Best Angle: Seriously? All of us are still figuring shit out.
Best Roleplay: All roleplays are best roleplays.
MVP: All people are valuable...for now.
Biggest Surprise: People not dying with all the blood being spilled.
Other Comments: lol no.

Best Spot: Olethros' post-match beatdowns
Best Angle: Brooklyn vs. Driftwood, I don't know.
Best Roleplay: Not mine. That'd be unfair.
MVP: Olethros
Biggest Surprise: I have no idea. Really no surprises.
Other Comments: Disappointed that I was the only person to promo for my match. Thankfully there were only two no-shows that I know of. Hopefully we have less next time.
