I didn't get the sense that anyone was damning you for the short RPs, but maybe I just read it wrong. I enjoyed it actually. I think your problem sometimes (because of MUH ENGLISH MAJOR) is that you can drone on in an RP. You basically cutting it up essentially eliminates the problem, you get to tell a longer story with out dragging it along. As we see with guys like Valmont, a long RP ≠ a good RP. Good on you for calling an audible (MUH FOOTBALL MAJOR).
As for match-o-the-night, I'd definitely rank Mugen v. Dupree up there. Great back and forth action, a lot of reversals, and plenty of nice spots. I'll be damned if Mugen isn't a main event player after carrying his fair share of this feud and playing this well in the match. Also not to toot my own horn in a match I was in (3!) The hardcore match was everything the division has been missing. I've always considered it an unnecessary title, but a brutal match like that makes me reconsider.
ALSO tooting my own horn again (though the credit goes to the other guys in the match), the Bombshell match told a great story, and its cool to see that kind of psychology in a match.
