That Rebel Guy

[Eyesnsane]

If this is what the first PPV of the year is like, what will the rest of the year bring? We went all out in this one, great work eveybody!!!!


Drazin: The return of the Great God, Where to begin, the concept I think was outstanding and the way you dressed each opponent down was quite thourogh. I could see it as I was reading it, awsome work I liked this promo very much.


Gabrielle: The flow of your promo was great, it seemed to show both sides of the goddess, there's how she feels about her fellow seige members and the others, almost like two separate promos, but it flowed together nicely.

Bullseye: Wow, is all I can say, I feel like I learned from your promo being newer around here. The background of not just the match but your experiences with everybody and the history of the match was awsome. A great approach to this one if you aske me.

Anthony: That promo was right up Killemall's alley, I like the fact that you went a different direction with it, and I thought it was a good one, it really kept me interested.

Sara: I thought this was a very solid promo from you, I liked the press conference set up, and I ccould really feel the passion in your words.

[Eyesnsane]

Kennedy: A very good promo, this character makes me think of chris jericho (WWE) In the way that you like to not like this guy, he cocky, arrogant, condescending. There was a very nice flow to the whole thing seemless, yeah it was seemless, one thing is certain you made a real hard charge for the win with this one. Kennedy knows what he wants and has eveything planed out for the seige as well.....

Ashley: In the begining I thought one way about the character, but by the end, I was loving how it all wound up and came together. Setting the place on fire, your assesment of the organization, job very well done.

[The Golden One]

eyes, you're reviewing every promo and props to you for such. I'm going to review yours tonight to show the hard work isn't going unnoticed. Again, props for reviewing all the promos.

[Eyesnsane]

Devin Golden: As the face turns, I like the way you went about explaining both your history with your opponents and mixing in the history of the belt as well, this is a very well thought out promo, I can’t wait to see this guy fully embrace the dark side…..


Bovine Stallions: I found this to be funny and a little weird; I like the “different” characters. Oh and I thought the different locker room was a nice touch also. I can’t wait to see more from these guys

Carmine: A very solid promo, well written. Seems like the potential is there to keep the feud going.

PAJ: A very solid promo from you here, it flowed very well. You made sure that we all knew it is only a dark match as well in case we forgot, but it was nice I like the approach you to with it the sort of behind the scenes look.

Thomas Princeton: A kidnapping, forced feeding, a little girl on girl kissing/ food exchange. The cold and calusness of this guy shines through this one.

[Eyesnsane]

Stu: It was a good promo, you defended yourself pretty well and really drove home the point that you are not a shadow. Also a pretty good dressing down of your opponents.

Jack: I really like how you describe the scene, though it seemed like this characters mind is in more than one place at a time, I think it worked well.

Andrew: I was looking foreward to this one because it seemed like your opponent took there hardest shots at you, or bullseye. It was solid, but I think I was expecting more, it was like a meal that was good but missing something you just can't put your finger on....

Nemesis: Very descriptive, in general a very nice well written and thoughtout promo. I found it to be even toned and paced or deliberate. Good job

XXX: I find myself interested in the characters story, as you wrote that very well, but I feel like you could have and should have focused more on your opponent.

Cross: It was ok, it seemed like a regular promo for a crossfire episode more than a PPV promo.


All in all these were good reads and I enjoyed them, truthfully this is the first time I read them all for a show, there are some characters I will be paying more attention to as we go foreward on both shows as I don't normally get into crossfire that much, but great work everbody who did promo. Juan as you were my opponent I did not want to give you a review, nothing personal, I did read yours and if you want one juste let me know.

[DramaShark]

Gabrielle, well written promo. As always, you deliver. Though this was nowhere near as good as your Mile High promo, it's still top notch and deserves to be acknowledged.

Eyesnane, your promo was good and you made it known that you were gunning for Juan. It was an awesome promo and it helped build the tension towards the Eyensane/Juan Lopez feud, which has been very good so far and will only get better.

Golden, I am loving this character now that he is heel. The whole promo was great, and Golden has pulled a complete 180 which isn't always easy to do when you have been promoing one way with one character for so long.

I enjoyed the Thomas Princeton promo, the guy is a real douche-bag. Right up Kennedy's ally!

Stu St. Claire proved why he is the man on Crossfire. Well written promo and I loved the way you dissected your opponents.

[The Golden One]

Eyesnsane: You've come a long way, and this promo proves such. It started off a little slow, showing the backstage area and talking about how Juan is trying to send a message, and then the Chadwick part made it seem like there wasn't much direction, but once we get to the warehouse the promo seems to find it's direction. Showing eyesnsane with a dark, demented side was good. Showed some of Stu's playbook in this promo, and it worked. The best part and what I think is the part that may actually win you the title is:

You, know Juan has made a big deal of the fact that in one month he has attained a title that I have sought for almost a year now. In his world and in his mind that is an advantage or justification of how much better he is than me. Although deep down he knows the truth, the cold, ugly, unrelenting truth of the matter is that the advantage is really mine. Consider how easy it was in fact for him to acquire my precious title.
There was no flirtation, no chase, and no foreplay. It was just a cheap, quick, no frills one night stand. It’s like going to the bar just before closing and walking right up to the lonely drunk chic for the quick ride. Then you wake up the next morning and realize what a mistake last night was. Or to put it more mildly, Juan actually makes for the perfect transitional champion, and the worst thing is, he knows it.

That was some quality stuff right there, and I think you could easily become the new YL champ. Talking about how it's been a struggle and a journey for you and how that will benefit you more so than Juan's easy candyland trip was good. It was a good way to turn Juan's argument around on him.


More reviews coming later

[Eyesnsane]

Thanks that was my favortie part right there....

[Tommyspud]

At the start, there is nothing but darkness. Two voices are heard in the background.

???: Damn it Larry, you stupid bitchcake, you have the cap still on! How are we supposed to review everybody's talking if they can't SEE ANYTHING!

Larry: Well, I'm sorry, it's been so long since we have done this.

???: WE? YOU NEVER DO ANYTHING! Just work the damn camera!

The sounds of the cap unscrewing are heard as a man comes into view, and he is recognizable instantly, the former FWA show reviewer and pure beacon of awesomeness known as Chris Smith. He's dawning his normal black sweatshirt, black jeans, and his stylish black sunglasses. He also is holding a kendo stick in his right hand. He gives a cocky smirk at the camera, standing in front of a brick wall.

Chris: That's RIGHT, bitchcakes, guess who's back!

Chris points his kendo stick at the camera, laughing to himself. He takes a small walk to his left, as the camera catches the concrete floor, it's obvious that they are stuck in some kind of basement, with the wooden planks overhead, water pipes slowly dripping on the floor, as he walks over to a something covered by a black sheet. He uses the Kendo Stick to fling up the black sheet, revealing the FWA logo on a large notepad on an dark brown colored wooden easel, he taps it with his Kendo Stick, speaking.

Chris: Okay, so I've been ASKED to review everybody's promos. I don't know why should I... You all know my opinion of you. But, no, I HAVE TO BE THE PROFESSIONAL, review the promos fairly, as if I'm a robot. So, shut up, you stupid bitchcakes.

Chris mutters something under his breath about stupid contractual obligations, and then rips off the FWA Logo page, revealing a picture of Duke Drazin

Chris: Let's see... What did Bitchcake Drazin do... Possession, editing of a so-called religious tome, mocked everyone in the tome, injured people in the tome. Was that supposed to scare me? It seems like some fail of a horror flick. I mean seriously, it dragged on forever... Though, I guess I can blame the original fail of a tome for having that many pages as well, right? My soon to be the most awesome tome ever made kicks your tome's ass and you know it, Bitchcake. But, I got to admit, some parts were truthful, and some parts were entertaining... specifically the random gyrations. Anyways, let's GO ON.

Chris rips that page, and proceeds to tear it into many pieces before taking a glance at the next picture. Bullseye Johnson. He chuckles a bit and then gives a small sigh.

Chris: Do I have to review the continuous loser? Okay, okay. Stupid contract. OOH, BITCHCAKE JOHNSON HAD A DREAM! And arguing with a conscience... WAIT, haven't I seen this before with one Zed Manix? Like from when HE STARTED UNTIL HE LEFT? No, but really, hey great job, say you'll win. Everyone usually says that. Talk about your opponents, great job. More past history... You know, I've noticed that is a common thing here. People like to bring up the past. THE PAST IS THE PAST, BITCHCAKES, AND IT'S BETTER LEFT THAT WAY.

Larry: What do you mean, you still rememeber when Player One left.

Chris throws his Kendo Stick at the camera, angrily, as he rips off the Bullseye Johnson pic, revealing a pic of Gabrielle.

Chris: SHUT UP, THAT BITCHCAKE STOLE FROM ME! Let's go on, shall we? Gabrielle, first off, let me congrats you for holding that title, you Bitchcake Bitch. Surprised, honestly, I was. Really, FEEL GOOD MOMENTS ALL AROUND! Does everyone have a religion now? Seriously? You said a lot of the obvious points like other people, but hey, it's easy to mock the others, isn't it? I guess it was good. Oh... and you'll never be better then me.

Chris rips off the Gabrielle picture, and heads to the next one, Eyesnsane

Chris: Oh, hi, Zed Manix Version .75. Let's see, abduction, beatdown, possibly murder? Hmm, yep, sounds a lot like everyone's favorite brooding Split Personality monster. Are you brothers? You may be, it wouldn't surprise me. Meh, whatever, decent I suppose, Bitchcake.

Chris gives a shrug as he looks at the camera. He rips off the picture and heads to the next one, Anthony. He looks at the easel, and pushes the entire thing over, looking at the camera, angrily yelling at it.

Chris: You know, what, SCREW the Easel. I don't need it. Okay, Anthony, let's see... another dream sequence. I guess it's not as bad as doing the obvious over and over, you know, like a one shot gimmick. Like a certain BEAR SUIT I know. Anyways, what can I say, Bitchcake? You deserve the title, I guess. Though, got to be honest, I'm not exactly as keen on who you make your friendships with. PAJ is ultimately full of Bitchcake Fail. Rebel should be a bit worried with you.

And then we have Sara Wolf. Great, a female Jeff Jarrett. Sort of... Oh well, it's better then the countless stripper gimmicks that inhabit the world of wrestling. This is your moment to prove yourself, female bitchcake, and it looks like you are ready to do it on your own. Good luck, no seriously... You'll need it. I did yawn a little bit while watching this, but you know, I can attribute that to various things, specifically the Bitchcake Bakery and Bar doing so much buisness.

Oooh, Chris Kennedy. Hey, we share a first name, wow. History, blah, blah, blah. I don't know how I can actually live through watching this stuff. The thing's we do for the damn contracts, right, Bitchcakes? Your time is obviously important, since you must spend half of it bitching that your ice isn't a certain temperature. I do like the mocking of Duke Drazin, and I see you provided your own picture. How much money did you pour into that one? Anyways, more mocking of Bullseye can't hurt, RIGHT? RIGHT? And some mocking of Porter. I'm about to just.... yawn. Your time?

Ashley O'Ryan... Ash, I'll buy you twelve pints if you do me a favor and sing for twenty four hours straight. Way to talk about the corruption of the company, but... Isn't that in almost every big company, bitchcake? I mean, really? Also, you ARSONIST, I knew it, I'll have you arrested. Kidding, kidding, but I scared you for a bit, didn't I? Anyways, ooooh, FWA screwed people, big deal.

And then we come to the BAD Devin Golden. The Apple was a lie, woo. Also, let's have more fires, shall we? Someone obviously has been planning this ever since Luigi turned on Mario, wanting his own videogame, right? Things are not as they appear, eh Gold Bitchcake? You know, I'm going to be honest, I'm not a fan. You are one of the most boring people I've ever listened to, so let's just go on. Oh yeah, before we forget, DREAMS. Now we can proceed.

Then we have... The Bovine Stallions? With possibly the most random bitchcake promo in the bunch? Everyone knows the Sega Nomad was better then the Game Gear, you fools! I had a small idea of what you were saying, but besides that, I wasn't too focused on anything else. Though, you kept me watching through it all, so whatever.

Carmine turns Sadistic Bitchcakes. Yes, threaten Princeton, have fun with that. Put him through a billion tables and keep the wood buisness alive. That's what everyone wants, right? RIGHT? Anywas, a personal promo from a personal sadistic bitchcake at the moment. I'd comment more, but the previous promo killed millions of brain cells.

Hi Jermaine... Jobber Bitchcake Promo, okay. BYE JERMAINE!

Hi Dinorah, also a jobber promo. LET'S GET READY TO SPEAK THREE, NO I MEAN FIVE, WORDS!

And PAJ has a dark match, but hey, it's not that bad for a dark match promo. Congrats PAJ. Though I still hate you. Failure of a bitchcake.

Thomas Princeton has abducted someone, and is feeding them Italian. Talk about Carmine, talk about how he's going to be beaten. So on and so forth, a good promo, I'm worried about the cops coming to your house during the PPV.

Then we come to the X-Champ Cameron Cross. Okay, well, a basic short promo. He actually got his points off easily and quit skipping around the obvious, and didn't waste much of my time. Not bad, bitchcake, not bad. Surprisingly, I did enjoy this promo a small bit. Because... it didn't go ON AND ON AND ON!

Then we come to Stu... Stu, you are a snake. It seems like you bit into everyone you talked about, and poisoned them. Enjoyable, but, really, are you a Bitchcake? Actually, wait, yea, you are, everyone already knows this, but you know... Snake's aren't that dangerous if you strike first. Because, if you can crush the snake before it can strike, it doesn't become a threat, and even if it does inject you with it's lethal poison, you can kill it either way.

Jack Severino with... another sadistic promo. Is it just me or is there more sadisticness in FWA then ever before... Have you guys been learning from Zed or something? Is Zed teaching you guys this? No, seriously, I don't know what's up with these things. Anyways, I guess it was good... If you like breaking FWA Property. Which I do, but SOMEONE won't let me anywhere near the Headquarters.

Juan Lopez with some barbarism... There seems to be a common theme to this ppv, I guess. I don't know what I can say to a promo like this, I mean, woo you attacked some people before anything Bitchcake. Really, the whole sadistic thing has been DONE TO DEATH AT THIS EVENT! I'd rather watch a Grizzly Joe Promo then this sadistic crap right now.

Andrew Johnson really speaking the truth, and it's not a Sadistic promo. Just one that mocks everyone else. We've come back full circle, haven't we? But, like everytime, the obvious insults come up, don't they? I am curious about this plan, though, Bitchcake Siege. Does it involve possibly getting owned BY THE GREAT ONE, CHRIS SMITH? Nah, you aren't on my level.

Nemesis with more arson, and Ash mocking. You know, Ash may not belong in this, who knows, I'm not sure anymore after the constant messages of sadistic, arson, abduction, dreams, whatever else is there. It is called Trial by Fire, but NOT EVERY PROMO NEEDS TO HAVE CONSTANT ARSON ATTEMPTS! Damn, Bitchcakes, give me something else to read, these promos are starting to mesh together. Oh well, I read all of it, I guess it's worth my time, slightly.

Then we get to... Xavier, isn't it? This was possibly the one promo that really didn't fit in with the rest, not that it's a BAD thing. Live up to your father's expectations, eh, you rich Bitchcake? You just got an ultimatium, and you know what, I really think I liked this whole thing... In fact, I never thought about sleeping through this one, at all. People are fickle, it's true, no one ever wins playing the hero. Grizzly Joe knows that deep down.

Are we done, Larry?

The camera turns slowly to the side, as Larry begins speaking.

Larry: I think that's it, but, uh Chris?

The camera catches a shadowy figure hiding in the corner, and quickly turns back to Chris.

Chris: What in the hell is it, you hair brother Bitchcake of Paul Phoenix?

The Shadowy figure hops into the scene, jumping at Chris, yelling CONTRA, at the top of his lungs. Chris just kicks the guy in the face, and the man falls like a ton of bricks. It's everyone's favorite videogame referencing former friend of Chris, Player One. Chris looks down at the mask wearing, d-pad shirt wearing, A and B button pants wearing idiot, with a smirk on his face, as he covers the camera eye.

Chris: Turn that damn thing off, and grab his legs.

The sound also cuts off.

((This is just how Chris is, no complaining. You all did an awesome job, except, I did notice some similarites, specifically, in themes.))

[Tommyspud]

Okay, there, I reviewed every promo.

Took a while, but hey, good for me.

[TheBigBang]

Great job, Tommy.
