Just asking, since the title was vacant, so there was nobody to actually cash in on. Again, not a big deal, just good to know for future promos. The way I see it, yes. It is the result of trying to cash in on Aaron Enigma's corpse, otherwise it would have been just Vokoun/Enigma. If enough people disagree and think it shouldn't, I suppose it could be overturned.

By the way, only a few people were aware of my return and I thank them for keeping this very secret until the time had come.

Hey, as someone who kept a big secret for a year and had to trust others to help out (Man in Black and Majority Shareholder angles), the least I could do was help someone else out if they had similar ideas.

Ok....I'm gonna level with you on one thing The East V West Match's ending was done on the fly....everything after the second Kaioken was completley re-written from my original draft. B.A was supposed to basically "kill" Demento with a point blank Kamehameha Wave and pin a broken Demento. The "Hooded Figure" was supposed to be Mickey Mouse who would be disgusted with B.A's Actions and brain him with a Mallet.
Though I do like how it ended, and have another way to change B.A to make him a full-on heel. Expect a new profile shortly.

Guys, I have to thank Socko for his help with the match - I wasn't feeling particularly creative and some of the better parts of that were down to him.
I liked the BRB segments, and Connor's use of the Transformers was brilliant.

Here is a question: did the fact that The Animated PPV had more than twice as many matches as every Niteraw preceding it result in an overall grander product?
Also, I personally think we used the five week build better this time around than we did for Lord of the Ring. I hope we do even better on the road to Wheel of Misfortune.
Last, for those who think they could have done better - at least you stepped up to bat. Furthermore, I would take more opportunities to write Niteraw matches for practice to hone your writing. More writers means bigger shows. Better writers means better shows. One of these days I should write down some writing tips of my own and toss in tips from anyone willing to contribute.

Guys, I have to thank Socko for his help with the match - I wasn't feeling particularly creative and some of the better parts of that were down to him. I liked the BRB segments, and Connor's use of the Transformers was brilliant. Actually, it's funny you should say that, because I was planning on giving you credit for writing most of it. (I wrote Blood's entrance, the part between when Castle tries to run Blood over with the truck up until he rams Blood's face into the glass window in the boiler room door, and the last part with the trip down the escalator and the fighting in the lobby, although Punisher came up with the idea of using the security shutter.) In any case, I'm glad that it turned out to be so well-received, because when I read some of the other matches on the card I wondered if they might not steal the show. There is one thing I noticed, though, which is that while both of us kept on going down stairs, we never went up. And yet we finished in the lobby somehow. Maybe the Parts Unknown Arena is like this place. BRB & Viva, I'm planning on having Blood off tv for at least a week to sell his injuries, btw. Jono, the courtroom segment worked very well both as entertainment and commentary on the state of cartoons, I thought. You had me feeling nostalgic. And welcome back Seth! I'm glad to see you giving the fed another shot, and it should be interesting to see where this angle goes. It really was a great show, and I enjoyed the various guest appearances as well as the VIP Lounge segments. Btw, was that "Jungle Book" Shere Khan, or "Tale Spin" Shere Khan? By the way, only a few people were aware of my return and I thank them for keeping this very secret until the time had come. And take it from somebody who's been there: it's not as easy as it seems! When the Majority Shareholder reveal was postponed, having to keep the secret even longer damn near drove me crazy.

Huh, well that PPV happened, it was pretty good, got a little super violent for my tastes for something animated, but it is what it is. Kinda disappointed that I couldn't get it done, but again, is what it is. Yeah, I may have gone a little far with the beatdown after the triple threat match. And you're, maybe it was too violent for an "Animated PPV". However, I felt at the time that since it was a very important match on the card that it needed to have that kind of tone in it. The PPV worked out very well with the Animated wackiness. But I just felt that the more important matches should be a lot more serious and (In a way) more violent then the humorous stuff that was going on. But you're probably right in it being a little too violent.

Yep, Tail Spin Shere Khan, though it would be funny it it was a full-fledged tiger placing bets with otherwise humans.
I'm glad the VIP lounge segments are well-received. If I may guess why, aside from character interaction, is it because they add an extra layer of suspense to each match?

Anytime you've got a fictional character pulling a gun and threatening to shoot, maybe you need to back down a little.

Also, BRB, good adjustment to my promos and such, loved the underdog appearance. I also almost sent you that Magikarp should come out of the Pokeball for the humor, I guess good minds think somewhat alike.

Also, something I'm just wondering about, although it doesn't actually matter to me one way or another. Did that match count as me cashing in my title shot? Just asking, since the title was vacant, so there was nobody to actually cash in on. Again, not a big deal, just good to know for future promos. I would think not, since you didn't demand to be in the match and use your briefcase to get booked in it, and since the one time you did try to use the briefcase there was no body to pin. I was actually guessing that you'd try to cash in after the match was over, and when Smokey was destroying Aaron with the chair I thought "Okay, yeah, M's definitely cashing in on him." So I was surprised when that didn't happen.

One in particular that Jesse said I hope someone might have noticed. As well, I wracked my brain on how to get something more out of the whole monkey thing based on this little gem... www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0e3wMzQx8sBut I couldn't seem to get anything sensical. lol

So I was surprised when that didn't happen. I almost asked if that could be done, without even knowing about the beatdown. But honestly, I don't deserve the title right now. I've done exactly three promos since I returned and I barely follow what's going on in the promo thread. Once WWE:FAN WrestleMania is over and we get through the draft, I'm going to make a greater effort to be more involved here.
