This was an awesome show. MitB was really well done. Cool spots as I expected. Happy with the winner as well. Sheamus vs London was alright, a little bit short IMO. Same goes for the tag title match. Now to Elgin vs Joe. Match was good but I kinda expected a bit more from it, did´nt really click to me. But still it was a good match. Now Cesaro vs Ziggler was fucking great. So many great counters in this match, really really good. Taker vs Davey. First off I gotta say I did´nt think that this match would work out but holy shit. Match of the night. Everything about this match was just perfect. The chokeslam into cross armbar looked amazing. Loved every second of this match. Street fight was another good match not quite as good as the previous 2 ones but still really good. Surprised that Punk won here. Now to the main event. Great match, one flaw was that the guys did´nt stay down long enough after a finisher or big spot IMO. But I understand that you wanted to get as many great sequences into this match as possible. Especially love the running knee to Bourne right into the Walls of Jericho sequence.

Overall a really good show with a little weak first half, but outstanding second half and a match of the year contender with Taker vs Davey. Great job.

[Dylan.]

Thanks for the reviews so far.

The IC and Tag title matches were a bit short because I didn't want my show to be too long. I noticed some points you guys addressed and you'll all have to see. Some storylines take time to develop and need some more things. Just wait for the pay-offs and you'll understand.

Thank you.

Opener - Really good match. I think it kicked off a little too quickly. I mean, forty five seconds in and we've already seen a super kick, a big boot, a DDT, a yoshitonic on a ladder, and a double foot stomp. It didn't ruin the match but the pacing at the beginning was pretty odd. The dive that Ricochet did looked really nice and the Rollins dropsault spot was dope. The ballplex onto the ladder was kind of odd looking but it was a cool spot. I like that you had Reigns come in to help Rollins and the spear looked cool. The catch RKO also looks very odd but was still a cool spot. I loved the straight jacket german on the ladder. The ending was nice but seemed anticlimactic. I just think more frames of Cole climbing the ladder and holding the briefcase would've helped this out a lot. Overall I liked the match a lot and it had good spots but it did seem kind of rushed. Not bad, though.

IC Title Match - This match sounds really good and I'm glad to see the IC title back. All the tournament matches for this were really good so I assume to finals will be killer. This match started off really well with some fast paced moves and it quickly went into hard hitting which I think really worked for these two. I liked the SSP off of the entrance stage. This match seems to be going very quickly so far and it's surprisingly working very well as I usually don't like matches kicking off quickly. The Celtic cross reversal looked really nice and I liked the finish a lot. I understand why the match was short because if you did everything you wanted to do then it would've been close to four minutes and it also leaves more ideas and moves for future matches between London and Sheamus. Great match.

Tag Title Match - You use both of these teams very well so I'm excited for it. Honestly the way you made the attack sound just made me think it was stupid and a really bad idea but now that I see how it went down it was well done and didn't make them look like bad guys. It also helped the match kick off quickly. The suicide dive doomsday was really nice and I like how RVD landed on the stage. I also really liked how RVD did the diving leg drop on Sami. I feel like this match could have been a lot longer without it impacting your show too much. It seemed to zip by and ended out of no where. A good match but I would've liked it to go a little longer. Kind of disappointed with it. I hope that you do this match again so it can live up to it's potential.

Elgin Vs Joe - I'm excited to see this match because hoss battles are the best. I'm glad to see a little bit of technical wrestling because all of the matches so far have gotten straight into fast paced wrestling right away. The german reversal that made Elgin roll over looked really nice. I like the hard hitting that's going on and it was pretty dope that Elgin caught Joe and threw him into the post. I like the action that's going on on the outside and the spots were done really well. I liked the spinning backfist into a german and then later on the backfist into a suplex elevator. They both looked really nice. The jump up enziguri by Joe also looked really nice. The sleeper suplex and rolling germans were both very nice. I think the finish worked very well and made both men look very strong as Elgin was in that submission for a hell of a long time. I also liked how Joe caught him coming off of the top, too. Very, very good match. I loved it.

WHC Match - Good technical wrestling which I think this show lacked a lot of. Not a bad thing, but I definitely think you need more of it soon. The moonsault reversal with the uppercut was really cool and I also liked the moonsault to the outside. I think you use Cesaro very well and you have his moveset down very well. The reverse scoop slam out of the corner was really cool. Also the Swiss death looked really nice. I liked that Ziggler threw the belt away and the olympic slam that Cesaro did looked really nice. I don't think I've seen that before. This match was also very well done and added some much needed technical wrestling and not so fast paced action to your show.

Davey Vs Undertaker - This was probably the match I was most excited about and it delivered very well. The kick reversal when Taker went for the dive looked really nice. Also the chokeslam on the apron was cool. I think this is the only match that really needed to start with a lot of fast paced action and big moves. However, this ended up being my least favorite match. I think it was very big let down as this match should have gone on WAY WAY WAY longer. Seemed that it was over in no time and maybe the big moves right away wasn't the right way to go because it seemed like there was nothing else to do. I think that you could have done a lot better with this match overall. The finish was great, though, and the SSP caught into a triangle choke was awesome.

Punk Vs AJ - I think this match surprised me the most. I thought it would be good but not this good. I really enjoyed it and these two really have chemistry in your fed because of the way you use Punk and AJ. The spots were really nice without being over the top and they had a lot of really good back and forth wrestling. I liked Punk using the turnbuckle I loved how the neckbreaker that AJ did looked. The elbow drop on the table was nice but the knee to the head was a little unrealistic. I liked the finish because AJ was already going to be beat but it really made it personal and it worked well.

Fatal Fourway - Having Bryan and Bourne begin the match worked out really well. I liked the wrestling between the two a lot and it had a lot of really cool reversals. This was definitely the best match of the night. All of the cool and unique spots combined with the wrestling that went on just worked out really well. Of course all of the people in this match are probably the four people you use best. I really liked everything about it and I think it was pretty flawless. I'm glad you didn't make it elimination but you were still able to make it really long. I also liked the psychology in this match as you used Gargano's injured arm a lot. I really liked the warrior's way on the outside. It looked really nice and was a good way to have Bryan down for the rest of the match. I think this main event really shined and you did a very good job on it.

Overall this show was well done but clearly had it's flaws. I think that you rushed it a lot. It seems like a lot of the matches didn't live up either because of the lack of technical wrestling or they were cut show in time. I will say that I still enjoyed the show and nothing ruined it completely for me. I would just work on pacing. It sounds just like what everyone says. "Pacing pacing pacing blah blah blah", but realistically, a lot of these matches started off way too fast paced and then seemed to cool down to much for the finish to be big. Very good show but I would definitely work on expanding time on some matches and just work on overall pacing of your matches. Great job.

[Dylan.]

hheeeeyyyyy yoooouuuu ggguuuuyyysss!!

[f1gh7er2]

I apologize I can't write out full reviews, but just wanted to say that this was a great show! Had alot of great fast pace action, amazing poses, and good match length. The Ricochet and Low-Ki(I believe that was a figure of him) figures in the first match are pretty cool looking. I really enjoy your shows and always can't wait to see more.

[FWL]

Opener was great. Nattie's yoshi tonic on Ricochet onto the ladder was awesome. Rollins' dropkick on Orton into the backflip dive was so creative, loved it. That spider suplex by Nattle onto Orton off the ladder was insane. So many awesome spots. Was really pulling for Nattie at the end, but I'm happy with the winner. Awesome match.

Sheamus vs London was good, short but sweet. Really liked the finish.

Tag match was okay. Loved RVD's legdrop off the barrier onto the stage. Finish was good, just wish this match went a little longer. I was left wanting more.

Joe vs Elgin was really good! Elgin catching Joe out of the dive was pretty crazy, perhaps a little over the top. Joe's a big dude. Finish was awesome, great match.

Cesaro vs Ziggler was so fucking good. I was really looking forward to this one, and it blew me away. Lots of awesome sequences and false finishes. Finish was great.

Davey vs Taker was awesome, definitely exceeded my expectations. Taker catching Davey out of the dive and turning it into a chokeslam on the apron was awesome. You made Davey look really strong in this match. Loved the catch into the Hell's Gate. Very surprised with the winner, but he earned it. Really good match.

Punk vs Styles was awesome. The moonsault reverse DDT on the outside looked awesome. Loved the hurricanrana catch into the Styles Clash attempt, so good. Great storytelling in this match, loved it.

Main event was amazing. Loved the sequences with Bryan and Bourne to start it off. I loved all the action with all four guys in the ring, you did an amazing job of making it all flow well and keeping it easy to follow. Loved the sequence with Bryan hitting the knee on Bourne which turned into the Walls of Jericho. Finish was awesome. You did an absolutely perfect job of giving all four guys a chance to shine. Definitely match of the night.

Excellent PPV overall. All the creative action I've grown accustomed to seeing from you with definite improvement in posing as well. Great job man.

MITB- This started off the show really good and had some fast paced action. This match moved pretty fast for me but everyone was used well, that Orton-Rollins spot with the moonsault was well done, I also liked the way you wrote off Ricochet during the match. Nat's reverse Rana to Orton looked great as well. I was very surprised by the outcome of this as I actually thought Orton was gonna win, but I do look forward to what you do with Cole going forward since he's in the same stable as HBK and Dolph.

IC Title tournament final- From the sound of it, this match has a lot of potential to be a great match. The SSP off the stage was a really good spot and the match made both guys look good no matter who won. The Celtic Cross reversal was really cool and the Celtic Cross in the corner looked fuckin' sick, nice touch with it being followed by a Brogue Kick. I was again surprised by the outcome of this match since I had thought before hand that London would actually win, but you use Sheamus very good as a brawler and I like that he won the title. Hopefully we get some more Sheamus/London matches in the near future.

Switchblade vs. RVD/Rey- This was a cool tag match too but I do agree with Jordan that it did seem to go faster than what I thought it would be. Although I do understand why you finished it so fast if you didn't like the way the match was going anyway. The suicide dive Doomsday Device was really creative and one of the best spots of the match for me. RVD's leg drop to Sami on the stage was cool too. Ambrose's headlock driver seemed to have come out of nowhere for me but that was fine. You've continued to make Ambrose/Callihan look strong as a team but I would've liked to see them face a bigger challenge than Rey/RVD at this show.

Elgin Vs Joe- This is gonna be a really good Hoss Battle since you've always used Hosses so well. This is a really good brawling/technical hoss battle and Elgin looked like a machine even in just his first match. I love how you've always made Joe look like a monster in any match he's in.

WHC match- This was also a good technical wrestling match and one of the best matches of the night. Not much I can really say about it because it was fine to me the way that it was. I'm happy Ziggler won the title.

Richards vs. Taker- This match from the get go sounds really good, but I too do think this went by too quickly for me. The reversals were really well done and the shooting star reversal into the Hell's Gate was amazing. I loved how Davey went all out towards the end and totally dominated Taker. I didn't expect Richards to actually beat Taker, but now that he did I'm expecting big things for him soon. Can't wait to see where he goes from here.

Punk vs. Styles- I've been looking forward to this grudge match for a while since the last couple of matches they've been involved in were really good. The build up to this match and even just this feud was really good and I've loved everything that's built up to it with Punk's neck injury and what not. The brawling was really well done and their chemistry has always been top notch. I liked that Punk took off the turnbuckle and the elbow through the table was great. I liked how AJ teased the Styles Clash during this match too. The Piledriver through the chairs to top it off made me say holy shit. This was probably the match of the night for me and honestly I can't wait to see this feud continue and how you handle it from here.

Fatal Fourway- This main event was amazing and I really loved the opening sequence between Bourne and Bryan. Again, there isn't a lot I could say about this match because to me it was perfectly fine and I'm happy Gargano walked out as champ still. Hopefully Bryan gets a one on one match with him soon.

Overall this show was awesome and to me so far one of the best shows of the year. You really draw people in with the storylines you have and have just such a way of building feuds in really good period of time. I would've loved to see some matches go just a bit longer (Davey/Taker in specific) but this show was awesome to me. Really really great job here Dylan and I can't wait for KOF!

-Nice arena. Nice protical droid. Nice VHS with those cool CWA covers on for the barricades.
-MitB has a great list of superstars. I love the Lowki figure. Some great spots in this match, I enjoyed it a lot. I liked the Orton powerslam on the ring apron. I was pulling for Chris Hero. Loved Lowki doing the cartwheel back flip only to be stricken with cyclone kills. I was happy Cole one.
-London vs. Sheamus was another good match. Glad the IC title is back. Every since you brought Sheamus back into your fed he has been like a mash up with Tomasso Ciampa which is pretty cool, I like to call this mashup Sheamasso Ciampa. Nice SSP off the stage. I was really pulling for Paul but I loved that finish.
-Switchblade vs. Rey and Rob was a pretty sweet tag match., however I thought it was way too short! I had some high hopes for this match and it didn't really fully deliver, I hope you do a rematch, because I know you have a classic just waiting to happen between these 4. I liked the Doomsday onto the stage.
-Joe vs. Elgin was another match that didn't really meet up to my expectations, not in a bad way. I was expecting to be an ALL OUT WAR. However you gave use a sweet match that had technical and brawling aspects. All in all it was a good match. I didn't really like the finish to be honest, I thought Elgin should've looked stronger but either way, good job.
-Cesaro vs. Dolph was a really good match. I enjoyed how technical it got. I liked the alpamare mud slide and the finish of the match. I was really pulling for Cesaro.
-Davey vs. Taker was a pretty sweet match. You use Davey well enough to even get past the presentation of the custom. I thought you got Davey's moveset down and used him in a great way with Taker. There were so many surprise counters and great stuff in here. I thought 2 tiger drivers were brutal but had to be done to stop Taker. Good stuff.
-Styles vs. Punk was a pretty cool match. I liked the brawling and loved how you played up how the clash is banned. The finish looked brutal, and was awesome. Good stuff.
-The main event was WONDERFUL. I really enjoyed the way you presented each wrestle. I loved the tapped arm of Gargano. This match some awesome action and I am happy my boy Johnny G picked up the win with Hurts Donut aka Uniquely You ... Good main event..



Overall this show was really well done. Besides some matches being short it was good. Your posing seemed to be better as well. Great stuff Dylan, Keep up the good work.

Review: This will be kinda short as I don't have much to say about MITB, Tag Titles, IC Title, or Richards vs Taker. Although I will say that the money in the bank was insane and I'd love to see a rematch for both title matches and Richards vs Taker went a different direction than to what I was anticipating. Cesaro vs Ziggler was nuts! It started off good but then got even better bout 1/2 way through the match and seeing Ziggler win was alright as I was hoping for Cesaro to retain.
I loved the street fight for how well Punk pushed Styles into attempting the clash only to then be stopped by rules. I wished that they would've utilized the street fight stipulation and a little less on the clash being banned.....but it was good nonetheless.
Joe vs Elgin was brutal and I loved it more than the actual match that they had. Elgin being the face here is much better for I feel like he puts on a better match this way than if the roles were reversed. The exchange of ole kicks on the floor was amazing and the use of the backlist by Elgin was crazy as well as Joe having to knock Elign out in order to secure the win which was a plus for me as it adds to the story that much more.
I liked that the main event being a four corners style rather than a fatal four way type match for it can tell a better story in my opinion. The exchanges throughout this match were sweet as well as Bourne top rope moonsaulting onto everyone. Gargano hitting hurts donut on Jericho in order to seal the deal was nice and possibly eliminates him from the title picture for now. Although I kinda expected the finish to have Gargano and Bryan but the actual finish was much better than what I had expected.

Overall though this was a tremendous show and I'm left wanting more and I can't wait to see what's next.

If your looking for a review on this show you've come to the wrong place, but if your looking for an outstanding pie recipe you've come to the right place.

Ingredients:
1. 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2. 1/2 cup white sugar
3. 1/2 cup brown sugar
4. 1/4 cup water
5. 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
6. 1 pinch salt
7. 5 apples - peeled, cored and sliced
8. 1 pastry for double-crust pie

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. Combine butter, white sugar, brown sugar, water, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and set aside.
3. Roll out half the pastry to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate; pour in apple slices.
4. Roll out top crust into a 10-inch circle. Cut into 8 (1-inch) wide strips with a sharp paring knife or pastry wheel. Weave the pastry strips, one at a time, into a lattice pattern. Fold the ends of the lattice strips under the edge of the bottom crust and crimp to seal.
5. Pour butter-sugar mixture over top of pie, coating the lattice, and allowing any remaining sauce to drizzle through the crust.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake until the crust is golden brown, the caramel on the top crust is set, and the apple filling is bubbling, 35 to 40 more minutes. Allow to cool completely before slicing.
