The Bray v. Ed match highlights a major issue of short term pay off for long term build. I get it earn your spot, get gud, just win, but the Lution match is two weeks away (right)? And putting them against each other sounds great but we've already committed to Ed v Blaxk at lution and for the past two weeks Ed has been squashing ppl, putting him against Bray was bound to expose him. His loss derails him, a win gains nothing. He already had the match. No reward to be had.
He should have continued squashing the small guys. It may not build him but at least you don't run the risk of derailing him and keep him as a mysterious commodity. Now it highlights Bray as the man should be fighting for the title.
At the very least you guys needed to do something that kept him looking strong at the end.
Bobby just posted something important, stop kayfabing. And has a point, I'm one of the biggest breakers of that concept but I also honest to god believe that on Turmoil we are going to fake it until we make it. We will build stars and we will not allow this to be a hodgepodge of matches, no. We need structure and organization, one day we won't feel the need to be so stingint but regardless of how good some of us are, we all need work. Me included.
Bobby is damn right about the vets, if they want to kick our asses they can. Aries and Trance are damn good at this game, I've got 4 losses that highlight, 80 percent of my losses! But it's made me better, maybe not at the game as my obsession with Tour De France is currently interrupting my time, but it's forced me to develop my character and write myself out of losses, I'm thankful for that.
Turmoil is close, so fucking close. Let's not forget that.
