awesomemiz Posted July 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Sorry if this seems a little rushed towards the end but had a couple of things come up with work and wanted to make sure it was at least posted as close to time as possible.

kevinmcfl Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Nice first show. Mike Graham vs Tiger Chung Lee would be a great main event for tv in the 1980's. Looking forward to your tournaments to crown your champs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 The Spoiler with Freddie Blassie seems like a solid pairing. I like the Sawyers in Portland, good place for them to succeed. I noticed you got your managers mixed up for the Samoas, started with Humperdink (best choice I think) and finished with Johnny V. Mike Graham vs. Tiger Chung Lee is very much a good TV main event. You could do a lot worse than Mike Graham as one of your big name babyfaces. Ending with the teaser for Graham was the right way to end the show. Solid first effort that puts some of the pieces in place for the fans and gives you a base to build upwards from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowBlowPodcast Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Pretty good write up and detail here for your first outing. You've taken that roster and turned it around in a good way so far. Consistency and writing along with some creativity will keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Indeed, very good writeup to get you started. Again, don't get too hard on yourself at first, it's normal to look for our groove early when it starts. But you seem to know where you're going and that's what matters. Keep it up!

spaldoni Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Portland Wrestling is off to a great start. It's good to see a lot of wrestlers who have been on the sidelines get a chance to shine here. Strong showing of the Spoiler. Pairing him with Blassie is brilliant. Solid tag team debuts of the Sawyers and Samoans. I always liked vignettes so I enjoyed the one here with Ranger Ross. Vignettes are such a great way to introduce a wrestler coming in. Smart move having Martel comment on the upcoming Gauntlet. It really shows the importance of your top title. Great way to end the show with Graham surprising Chung Lee. Ends the first show with a pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneJackson95 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Great debut! I'm excited to see the Spoiler in action here, he's someone you can really build around especially paired with Blassie! The Sawyers are a great tag team that are a good fit for Portland. The Samaoans should do well with the Big Kahuna Oliver Humperdink, I always enjoyed that persona for him.

gordi Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Good job with your first show. Bret & Bart and Coco & Tama are great teams for that place and time. They give you a good foundation to build on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirEdger Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 No problem, we're getting the gist of what you're doing so that's what matters. Like I said earlier before, it takes some time to find our groove at first and to be comfortable with the writing style as well. Things are looking good for the Gauntlet for Gold. Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawho5 Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 I will be the first one to tell you that TV squashes are the way to go. Keeps everybody heating up even with house show losses. The Bodies vs. the Sawyers seems like it could be a good midcard feud if you wanted to go that direction. Ranger Ross getting his own vignettes signifies he's going to mean something within the territory. Glad to see you're getting the wrestlers you need to run your big shows. Rip Oliver in Portland warms my heart. He was such a fixture there. Graham advances, but at what cost? And will the Samoans leave his next match be? I for one doubt it.

gordi Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 That font and layout make your show literally unreadable on my old iPad. Please consider a more basic style. Something less like a fancy restaurant menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinmcfl Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Interesting Gordi. I was just about to say how much I liked the format. As for the show... the squash matches did a nice way of pushing your talent. Superstar and Sika is an awesome TV bout. Keep up the great work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 I agree with the squash matches. It's a great way to keep all your talent strong on TV. I've enjoyed the Ranger Ross vignettes, they did a great job in hyping him up. Love seeing the Heavenly Bodies debut. Prichard works very well with charismatic managers Cool seeing a potential Superstar/Sika feud. Portland can be a great place for these guys to really shine. Really looking forward to the Gauntlet Match. I'll be cheering Rip Oliver on LOL. You're doing a great job with the Summer Gold build.

gordi Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 No idea. It's a really old iPad (getting replaced soon, most likely). It has all kinds of little quirks. Maybe it doesn't have comic sans installed? I agree that it's odd. Looks like Miz has kindly changed to font now, anyway. It looks great. I can read it on my iPad or on my PC no problem!

GeneJackson95 Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 I love seeing the Heavenly Bodies with Johnny V, this should make for some fun promos and interesting action. Bugsy McGraw is a great fit here as well. I think "Superstar" Billy Graham can really give some value to Portland and allow you to build of his history and reputation. Speaking of Graham, great main event against Sika! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
