This was just great, it was so extreme! 9/10!. But I have a question. What do you make the light tubes with and how do you make it look like it shattered?

Thank you! The light tubes are lollipop sticks from a craft store with electrical tape on the ends. The shattered glass and light tubes was cracked sea salt.

This show was awesome.

The first round was super brutal. Harper looked strong and Bigelow got fucked up bad. The suplex on the ladder looked badass. Glad Harper got the win. Cactus and Drake was a good match. Cool to see you finally have a Younger. The spots were crazy again. Elbow off the apron looked sick. Thought Drake nearly died. Happy that Younger advanced. Fandango and Rhino, looking forward to this one. Fandango is pissed. This was probably my favorite match of the night. Fandango was used well and Rhino looked strong. The Barbwire board spots were brutal. The ogre looked awesome and you posed well with that Rhino. What a brutal fucking Piledriver! And Rhino wins. Wyatt and Pillman was a cool match, Pillman was used well too. Nothing really stood out to me here, but I enjoyed it and was surprised Pillman won over the PRIME Champ. The ladders and light tubes match was crazy, 2nd favorite match of the night. Absolute highlight of that whole match was undoubtedly the huge fucking chokeslam from that scaffold through those tables. I think Pillman just died again. R.I.P. BABAY. The Bullrope match was also awesome and Younger looked strong in it. The spots with the rope were cool and it was utilized to it's advantage. Younger advances. Cesaro vs. HBK was a good match on the card for it being a non deathmatch. Liked Cesaro targeting HBK's leg. It was different from the other Cesaro vs. HBK matches, and that is good. HBK kicking out of the Ricola Bomb was a cool moment, and I'm glad to see HBK win. The main event was insane. Younger and Harper really fucked each other up. Younger kicking out of the Discus Clothesline was a cool moment and showcased him being an underdog. Nice touch by the way with the bandages and dry blood. Oh my god! Cop Killa off the apron! Fuck. Harper might be dead. Younger wins the whole shebang! And Harper is up, and he's pissed! What an end.

Overall, this was a brutal, awesome show and I enjoyed Fandango vs. Rhino the most. Great show, looking forward to where you go with Drake Younger after this.

pretty hardcore show I was hoping bam bam would last a little longer but overall pretty decent show I like the creativity and effort that went into this 7/10

I actually was looking forward to this. Don't see the KOTDM concept tossed around a lot so this should be good. Plus it's got Pillman in it, so let's give this a go.

Bam Bam vs Harper was actually the match I was looking forward to most, as it's the most KOTDM worthy matchup in the tournament. And suicide dive...meh. Okay then...kind of making Bigelow look like a pushover here. Since when does Bam Bam Bigelow use a tiger/dragon (whatever it's called) suplex? Would've liked to see some of this stuff saved for a later match. At least Bigelow's showing more offense.
What didn't I like?
Where were all the pin attempts? Should've been some nearfalls, though is the rule you have to answer a ten count, or did it just end up ending that way? Eh. Some really good poses, like the Brodie Bomb. Liked how he struggled to lift Bam Bam, You overdid it a little on the chair shots. I know it's supposed to be a deathmatch, but maybe you could've used some chair spots (like resting one in the corner, powerbombing someone onto an open chair, ddting someone on a chair, etc) instead of straight chair shots, but it wasn't match ruining.
***

Wyatt vs Pillman
So you're going with Flyin Brian..I can dig that. And suplex through the table. I don't know what the pacing is in modern death matches, but I at least know in some old ones like Cactus vs Terry, Funk vs Mr. Pogo, and Cactus vs Kanemura that they did a little bit before they moved on to hardcore spots. That's the way it should be. Pillman doing a foot stamp? He might've done one before, I don't recall at the moment, but there were better moves you coulda used there. And there goes the glass..And Pillman does a superkick.....since when? And another one, because it wasn't odd enough the first time. Pillman won? Eh, I thought for sure Wyatt was gonna win. Not too satisfying of a match. Could've gotten a bit more creative with the spots, though you had a good one with the lariat through the table.
**1/2

Rhino vs.....Fandango?
What? This is an odd matchup. Like really weird. I'm sure there'll be some good spots, but this is a really strange matchup. I wouldn't even think Fandango would be anywhere near a death match setting. And there's Fandango talking about Extremely Crappy Wrestling...that joke never gets old. This promo is very out of character for the ol Fandango, but I really enjoyed it. And a gore...reversed... you know you can have well paced deathmatches. Even for a match that's just a bunch of spots in succession, you could get a little more creative then suplex onto weapon. Powerbomb onto weapon. There's a lot of great spots you could do...so far your best was the finish for Pillman vs Wyatt. Oh well. Really liked the direction you took with Fandango though, rest was a bit of the same old, same old to me.
**

Cactus vs Younger
Now this is a deathmatch! Starting off with some brawling, which is how all of these should. And glass broken.....Really? I know death matches aren't supposed to be technical classics, but you've really gotta work on some of this. The setup for the reversed cactus clothesline was terribly unnatural. Oh good, a trash can. Another reversed suplex, and another similarly setup glass spot (though the setup for the elbow was pretty cool) And he goes for the double arm ddt, even for a deathmatch a lot of this is rushed. The pacing for this match is probably the best of all. Overall...besides the barely noticable pacing issues in this one, I enjoyed this match the most so far.
***1/2

Pillman vs Brodie
And...dropkick through glass almost immediately...ugh. Running up a ladder, jumping off it, getting caught and being slammed into the glass. Some good spots here, but right out of the gate they don't make a whole lot of sense, unless they're trying to finish quickly. And Pillman does another superkick. I know Pillman's done a superkick once or twice before irl, but he doesn't do them this often. Brodie hits a big boot. What's pacing? Suicide dive spot. You know, I wouldn't be loathing these spots so much if you didn't start right out of the gate with 4 spots. Tables, oh boy. Where is the creativity here? There are tons of spots you could've done. Neckbreaker off a ladder. Superkick off of that weird platform Brodie chokeslammed Pillman off of. Big Boot off of the platform. Brodie Bomb off the platform. Tombstone off of the platform. Clothesline off the platform. Instead, you did a chokeslam. Reminds me of Prime Time Brian Lee. It's still a good spot, but considering all the deathmatches here so far are just spot after spot after spot after spot, you could definitely use a couple more creative spots like the diving lariat into the table, the cactus elbow onto the glass.
Overall, I really don't know what to rate this one.
Spot/10

Bullrope match?
Bullrope spots. Oh boy. If you actually pull this off and make it exciting, I gotta applaud you. This is actually the most well paced match so far. Even deathmatches need to start off with wrestling, then you should move onto the hardcore spots...and superkick. Ugh. Spoke too soon about the pacing, huh? So what exactly is the point of the bullrope? It's only come into play once so far. Spoke too soon. Surprisingly, this is the best match so far. I probably would've enjoyed the other matches a lot more if you didn't go overkill on the spots as soon as the bell rings.
Overall? Best match so far. It could've used more weapons. Yeah I know it sounds weird, after all of my bitching about the hardcore spots, I'm saying it could've used more weapons. It's still KOTDM, and you can have weapons and not go overkill on weapon spots. Heck, I don't even have a problem with the weapon spots, just the lack of creativity in some of them and how rushed some are.
***3/4

Cesaro vs Shawn Michaels? Thought this was just KOTDM. Oh well. This should be good. Bah gawd, pacing! This is proof that anything can happen, in the Prime wrestling federation! Shawn doing his comeback this early? WTF? Okay, you're getting there...Diving spot is a little too early for my taste, but so far no one's traversed into spot monkey territory, so far it's just a fast match. Swing already? You were doing good. Superkick setup? It's less then 3 minutes into the match...Of course he reverses it. And then after some more wrestling, he actually hits the superkick and wins. Match was a bit too short for my taste, but it had a fast pace without being a spotfest, so props.

Big Boss Man wants to talk to Vinny Mac?
So you're building up Steen vs Brock. That's the most story development I've seen in 25 minutes.

Harper/Lee vs Younger
It seems you've saved most of the creative spots for last. Really liked that chair dropkick. Again, happened too early for my taste, but eh. A lot of good stuff here. Not the best match of the show, but definitely the best death match of the show.
***3/4


Overall?

Well....I'm torn.
Your posing's improved a bit. Unlike before, where there was a couple stiff poses, all the poses were great.
Some great creative spots (elbow onto glass, lariat into table, chair drop kick)
Good concept.
Alright technical wrestling in the form of Cesaro vs HBK, still minor pacing issues but you've improved a lot in this area.


And then on the flipside
Minimal story development (Only feud that seems to be going on is Brock vs Steen, and the only feud that started was Brodie vs Younger), and even if you have more feuds then it seems, you could've had backstage segments to continue them, or in ring segments to continue them.
Bad pacing for deathmatches even. You have to make the hardcore spots count. And when you made them count, they were great. When they were just violence just cause, they were awful. Slamming someone into glass shouldn't be a small thing that they'll get right back up after, nor should it be something that happens all the time.
Lack of creative spots.
There were 4 or so creative spots. When you get creative, it's awesome. When you just slam someone onto barbed wire, it's boring,



Overall, 7/10. Good posing, good concept, a good technical match, and a few creative spots are overshadowed by almost all of the deathmatches, boring spotfests that don't bring anything new to the table (beyond those 4 great spots),

[Gnaddi]

First off I have to say that posing was on point the whole show. Probably your best posed show ever. Matches were all very well done as well. Lots of creative spots and the whole show had a great feel IMO. Bray losing to Pillman was surprising. Also liked how Fandango did´nt want to compete at first. Harper looked great in this tournament and I wish he would have won. I think you did very well not making the matches too crazy. Maybe a bit too many piledrivers. The Cop Killa to the floor was freaking crazy. Great way to finish the final.

Great job on this one man, PRIME keeps on getting better and better.

[f1gh7er2]

Great show! I really liked the posing, it looked very realistic with the reactions too. My only possible problem is that guys who don't do deathmatches in real life where doing them here. Not a big deal (could just be a pet peeve of mine). Anyway great show with great matches. Blood was good and not over used. Also love your Drake Younger figure, it's awesome!

[Dylan.]

I enjoyed this show alot more than I initially thought that I would. Each match was drastically different, and unique in their own ways. To me everything delivered really well. No real gripes from me other than Harper getting RIP'd then getting up like nothing but that's no big deal whatsoever. I'm kind of going back and fourth, but yolo. Pillman digging him boot in the glass was very creative and made me pop even though I already knew it was coming. Everyone had teir place and Bray losing out right was a huge shock. I wish you would've had Cactus interfere with Fandango, but that doesn't bother be as much as Brick the dick up there. Steen and Brock progressed well. I'm glad shows are starting to include a bit of promo work. I know I and a few others want to follow suit with that too. Good development and great spotty "kill people because we can" show. Good job, Jordan. That one was my favorite PRIME show yet.

[Steiner Recliner]

You improved a shitload on your posing this show dude. Plus the new camera work and it finally felt like prime was nothing like TNWF. I loved this whole show and thought it was well done. Had some pretty fucking awesome moments and like I said the posing was too notch. Keep this shit up and I will start looking forward to your shows!

Solid stuff Jordana

[xhwrestling]

this was really awesome! loved the first round between Bam Bam and Harper, really good job on all the Drake's Landings throughout the tourney, very good work, keep it up
