small thought, probably nothing

This is gunna seem like a complaint or a criticism and I am happy enough with that because I feel it should be said, I know the people's choice have their own storylines to follow and have their own thing they want to do I am fine with that but hijacking an entire match to put your own storyline over is just a little bit shitty to do to the other people in the match. Barely anybody who wasn't involved in all that had any offence in that tag match because who ever wrote it focused on the angle I believe they are heavily involved in, Everybody RP's everybody deserves the same treatment in the matches, my one piece of offence in a match I worked damn hard on an RP that I really could of done without writing (my brother in law had a seizure at the weekend) was an irish whip to my own partner into a set of ring steps. We all work hard and yes some may work harder than others but anyone who takes the time to RP should be given at least a little something from the match that they can use, in that tag match this week everyone but the people's choice where pretty much jobbers and I don't care if it looks like I am just being in a shitty mood after reading results, read the match and tell me I am wrong, as much as I appreciate the time the match writer took to write the match I don't appreciate being a prop because they feel the story they have to get over is more important than what everyone else is doing, that's what segments are for not matches

That's a fair criticism dude, honestly the match was full of stuff, so let me be completely honest with you.

When I was writing it, the main goal was to express the random teams as frustrated. Zombie was refusing to cooperate with Caliban and he couldn't find a spot to get things going, so he responded by hurling Zombie into the steps. Sticking my part in with Kyle Kemp wasn't meant to say "hey everyone look at me" so much as it was an attempt to do something new and unexpected.

The other focus I had, and I admit this may have been more personal, is giving Night Rider a proper send-off. As this was his last match, I wanted to give him the majority of the spotlight. 

I would like to respond to the criticism that everyone but the people's choice were jobbers though, considering that the match started with Core almost immediately destroying Spencer and Teo's primary contribution was getting hurled over the ropes and helping with the finisher.


The problem was the way the match was set up was that I was already at 2700 words by the time I got to the finishes, and by that point Caliban was outside the ring and Zombie was the legal man- It would have taken at least another 500 words to have Caliban jump in and do something more convincing, so I had him go for Zombie since Zombie was basically shooting on Caliban in his RP- kind of a chance to let the maniac side show through.

Finally, and let me make this perfectly clear, I wrote an ending where Zombie and Punkin won, I can PM it to you if you want to see it. The match was 100% decided by Seth. If that ending had gone through, Teo wouldn't have gotten in a single offensive move either.

But the problem was the match was already running pretty long and late at the time, so I had to kind of leave Punkin out of the big spots due to a length issue. It was not a knock against you personally, it's just how the match came out in my head. I tried to make it clear the loss was not Caliban's Fault so much as it was a lack of cohesion between teams, based on Zombie's RP. I'm sorry if you were unsatisfied with the result, but what's done is done. If you would like, I will refrain from writing any Caliban matches in the future.

I appreciate the breakdown of what was happening dude, please don't refrain from writing Caliban's matches its hard enough to find match writers round here, as you said what's done is done and I appreciate you taking the original post the way you did

No problem man, my goal is that everyone's happy, time just caught up with me this week. Caliban will receive better treatment the next time I get to write him, you have my word. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk about anything else. Or put it here, either way lol.
