[Supreme Olajuwon]

NEW AGE PRO WRESTLING

Intro

• Like the idea of flashing the talent to open the show, but you didn't tell us who they are so while reading this I'm not hyped and don't really give a shit.

Opening Segment

• Absolutely love the idea of win loss records determining contenders. It's so simple, yet nobody does it.
• MVP as boss is eh. I like him but I'm not drawn to him as an authority figure. We'll see how that pans out.
• Main event sounds good. I hate any form of the word flashy. I can't take anyone seriously who is described as flashy.
• Gateway to Glory is a pretty cool PPV name.

Match One: The Hart Dynasty (David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd w/Natalya) vs. The Long Island Inception (Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder)

• Too much summary to really care. "The Dynasty dominate at the beginning with their trademark double-team manoeuvres." "Eventually, heel shenanigans allow Ryder & Hawkins to gain control of Tyson Kidd." Tell me what the fuck is going on.
• A Doomsday Rough Rider sounds like the most badass thing I've ever heard. Hope this is their finisher.
• Dunno how devastating a double blockbuster would look since you're supposed to grab the opponent with two hands. Also not crazy about throwing out a double blockbuster before we even see a single blockbuster.
• Like the post match interview with one exception. The Hart Dynasty "have no problem being Tag Team Champions"? What the fuck does that mean? So some people do have problems with being champions?

Match Two: Homicide vs. Jay Lethal

• Again with the summarizing. What is this, Sportscenter? Let's have some substance.
• Finish is pretty exciting.

• I dunno who would buy Sheamus and Yoshi Tatsu as a tag team. I don't.
• Austin Aries hype. There we fucking go.

Match Three: Eddie Colon vs. Joey Mercury

• Best match so far. And guess what? It had detail!
• Good promo after the match

• MVP and Homicide backstage was a good exchange. Gives MVP cred as boss and sets the expectations for NAPW.
• The Regal appearance sounds awkward.
• Yoshi and Santino was entertaining. Santino's doing interviews and wrestling? Interested to see how that works.
• "Gabriel says he looks so good because he does the hurting, and doesn’t get hurt." What the fuck does that mean? Is Gabriel selling himself as a threat because he avoids injury? That's lame.

Match Four: Sheamus vs. Yoshi Tatsu

• The handshake thing is kind of pointless when nobody does it.
• Why are you ripping your commenator? Aren't we supposed to like your fed?
• You have a bunch of stuff about Sheamus and Tatsu's history and how they know each other so well. That's all well and good, but if all their history happened away from this fed, then nobody knows what they're doing or why it's important.
• Yoshi & Kiyoshi working together is interesting.

• Why is MVP telling us about all the matches that have already been announced?
• How did Sheamus ask for a match with Kiyoshi? Wasn't Sheamus just in the ring?

Match Five: Rey Mysterio vs. John Morrison

• Good match.
• Having your top star job on the first show doesn't really make him your top star.
• Why do you have fans who boo your top star? Again aren't we supposed to like your fed?

Next review will be in a little while.
