Summercide: The Bitch is ODing

 

Summercide will just be a giant inter-group intervention, which will turn into a giant group drug session.

 

Which I'm all for.

ding aint about that life!

 

He's about that good snacks life tho!

[Big Ed]

Still deciding on the upset of the show. Dustin and malu or the main event.

[Jacob Trance]

In keeping in line with recent events I will now be posting comments directly upon FPR in matches in accordance with the rules.

 

 

Willow vs. La Reina

So the headlock break results in a weird, weird instant turn around grapple from La Reina, but then Willow walks out the ring to avoid it. Can't really call that as I'm certain La Reina was still holding the grapple direction for the headlock.

 

Willow does a ground grapple then picks Reina up for a fast reset who grabs her as soon as she comes out of the groggy animation. (Ethics)

 

Willow does a pick up into a grapple, into a ground grapple, into a pick up into a running grapple. That's a bad Willow! I understand there's a gap between the running move and the pick up at the end but it's still iffy.

 

Both competitors moonwalk. (Ethics)

 

Willow with a pick up grapple, followed by a ground grapple.

 

Other than the above this was a really easy match to watch and enjoy, it didn't feel like what I listed above was being done deliberately in order to obtain an advantage, but the ground rules have now been clarified so I expect to see less of it in the future.

 

Cactus Gauge vs. Bill Ding

 

Bill Ding could so easily be Turmoils Mike Awesome, except not dead. I like Gauge's look, actually.

 

Nothing untoward other than getting in fast strikes when reversed from both men. (Ethics)

 

Quite a bit of move repetition in what's classed as a short match, try to vary your offense, makes it more aesthetic.

 

Okay seriously, you've used that neckbreaker on almost every offensive state, clearly head hunting. It's boring seeing the same move over and over.

 

 

This match wasn't actually that bad, it seems Nightmare took on board what was said, it's just a shame he's like a Pokemon and knows like 4 moves.

 

Edit: I'm told I missed Cactus doing a ground OMG, into a taunt, into another ground grapple. That's against the rules sir.

 

 

Seb Abbott vs. Jacob Trance

 

So... 'Stralia couldn't connect and will be played by Gentleman Jack. #sneakers

 

Little bit of moonwalking from Jack, but I'm guilty of it too a little in this match.

 

A lot of DDT's happen in this match, but that can be put down to Jack not knowing Sebs moveset.

 

Kneeling move off of a missed dropkick into a ground grapple from me, I'm not sure if that's classed as two ground moves so I'll call it anyway. (Ethics)

 

Overall there was very little to fault in this match other than the DDT's, but again, it wasn't Seb playing so unfamiliarity with the move set will have played its part.

 

More later after what I've said has been digested.

[Majin]

I'll have a word with Willow about her FPR when I get home this evening. I told her about that shit! She's grounded! No matches for a month for you young lady!

[Jacob Trance]

Malu vs. Dustin White

 

It's upset time as the man who ate crow in all his other matches, Dustin White, takes on the Samoan superman.

 

Oh man it's been sped up, this'l be tough.

 

Lo'd at Dustin taunting and getting bitch slapped.

 

Shame about Dustins tights not downloading in game, apparently if you download the CAW BEFORE the match it reduces the risk of this happening.

 

Ground grapple into a running ground strike... Eh, it's not allowed but I dunno, I think that's one of Dustin's spots that doesn't seem to cause much of an unfair advantage, so I'll call it reluctantly.

 

When someone is getting out or in the ring you shouldn't be grappling them immediately, that's one of the variants of Rushing. Which also covers running moves as soon as someone gets up, gets in the ring, out the ring, etc. Generally just attacking someone as soon as the previously mentioned happen, this goes for people tagging in as well in tag matches.

 

Ugh that damn neckbreaker, I have PTSD.

 

It looks more like Dustin is simply surviving as opposed to competing here, but nothing major FPR wise so far. It's hard to call reverse hovers or hovers with the speeding up, but I'm sure Malu would have coached him if they did occur.

 

Ground sig into a pick up move, we've had that clarified that it's a no-no recently, so I'm sure Dustin will adjust accordingly. Never seen a reversal to a leapfrog in this game until now. Colour me impressed.

 

Malu with a knockdown, into a kneeling grapple, into a sitting strike. I done something similar but I guess this is technically against the rules like I said previously. (Ethics until confirmed)

 

I think there was moonwalking but the speed makes it hard to tell. (Ethics)

 

Dat scalp though. Well played, fun to watch, I hate to think how long it was outwith animaniacs speed.

 

 

I'll give it some time before I move onto the main event, most likely tomorrow.

[Jacob Trance]

Dennis Black vs. Kassidy Hayes

 

Dennis looks a little more heelish lately, I hope Madison doesn't do anything weird with my t-shirt though :|

 

Kassidy with a pretty nice intro video, well made. Well made.

 

Denis' attempted cartwheel dropkick spot gives me an idea!

 

Attempted springboard as Kassidy gets up is technically a hover but the game doesn't allow for any other ways to hit it. I'll put it down as ethics as if it was to connect I'm sure the attacking period would end with a pinfall. (Ethics)

 

Kassidy has my old sig, but has a sliding dropkick on the end of it. #newera

 

Hover by Dennis via a dropkick after Kassidy uses the ropes to pick himself up.

 

Very enjoyable, clean match so far though.

 

Kassidy murders the ref, but I notice Dennis doesn't go running for the bat, I see how it is Den-Den :(

 

Ahh the old reversal into button mashing to avoid being attacked thing. (Ethics)

 

Overall, a clean main event.

[B-17]

I'm still coming to grips with that Hulu upset, but is it really an upset at this point? Everyone that has faced him has beat him.
