Some thoughts on Riot:

 

- KD made quick work of that guy. My only concern is I hate that jab combo. Very random-like.

 

- Can someone tell smythe to ease up on the pyro? Second hand smoke kills.

 

- No entrance for Tre. So hand write in a detailed way. NO WAY you should use some random JOSE. (Did you get it?)

 

- Nathan with a lot going on as far as designs on his attire. Big win for him.

 

- I'm interested to see where Bear goes from here.

 

- FUCK TIBBLES!!!

Other than me [with broken stats, yes I took a L, but I had like 40 points less than everyone on the roster from November - Lution and still didn't do too bad against everyone] , has Smythe actually fought anyone this year besides rookies?

 

He's talking a whole lot of shit for having done nothing.

 

Only one I can remember is Arnerd, and we all know how that turned out

 

 

Also, Crossbones has been defending the Hardcore title every week, [apart from last week when Jay didn't book it]

[Bobby Minio]

Smythe lives the gimmick. It's like Ric Flair sans charisma, character and content.

With regards to the Hardcore title I'll just point out a few things.

It's changed a LOT since Majon's time with that title, and the truth is that the belt IS a 3rd rate/lower tier title now due to the fact it's defended weekly. That's what devalued it, as it's almost impossible to do a feud when you never know who will hold the title from one week to the next. (In pretty sure only myself,Gibbs and Pugh have been able to do it)

 

The only way it really gets any momentum and respect is if the champion builds up a decent couple of defences.

It also doesn't help that the main challengers are fresh off the boat rookies or (usually) really bad alts.

 

The only way to elevate the Hardcore title up the card really is to stop the weekly defences, but I feel that's what makes that title unique as it gives is something different to watch instead of just normal matches every week.

 

The other belts actually need defending more often than just PPV's though in my opinion.

More title defenses ALWAYS devalue the title, and I'm ABSOLUTELY certain the NA and World titles have had more than one Riot championship match this season, actually a handful. People just like to run their faces when they know ZERO shit about booking or building for a ppv match.

 

Booking Drago to a random NA match while he's working a program devalues his ppv opponent and the championship.

 

The HC Title is a lower teir title because we don't have one and everyone was crying we don't have enough title matches. So what does staff do? Give them a HC title, give them a title match every week. What happens, ppl start crying that the HC title is a shit title and is defended too much. What I suggest is let the ppl upstairs handle the booking, it obviously must be working we've been here 11 fucking years.

 

Rookies NEVER got as many opportunities as they get now, shit it was nearly a year before I got my first shot of any kind.

 

If there's 2 interesting Ex feuds going at once then it's easier to throw in a random title match, but nobody wants to put in the work to receive the opportunity, nobody wants to build the Division, they just want a shot and want to point fingers when they don't.

 

Currently the HC title isn't defended weekly, so it can actually get built up again, but now there's no lower card title.
