Ascension #389
TOP THREE MOMENTS:
1. The World Title Match - Alright, this one was rather exciting. I thought for sure Felix Foley would have a long reign to come, but nahhh.. Doom said fuck that. Looking forward to another Doom World title run, personally.
2. Invasion - When this was announced, I was stoked. Every single name that made it into this Invasion match could have walked away with it. But, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't rooting for Sunshine here. I'm glad to see him pick up the victory, and nearly jumped from my seat when it happened.
3. Strange Bedfellows - I'm picking this one to be a bit of a homer, I think. But, I enjoyed the implications from this segment. We're about to see a whole lot of hostility in one ring. Nero/Graves on one side and Cade/Redgrave on the other? This screams fucking chaos and I'm here for it.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
- Can Nero and Graves coexist? For that matter, can Cade and Redgrave?
- Is there more to Redgrave kidnapping Nero's family than just trying to get into his head before Ring King?
- What history do Kincaid and Tombstone have?
- Could Ayame be apart of The Kingdom?
MY FAVOURITE PROMO OF THE WEEK:
Admittedly, I didn't read many. However, I did read that Doom roleplay and boy howdy! That was definitely deserving of a dub!
HAVE YOUR SAY:
Some top tier fucking mind games from Redgrave this week. I was given absolute chills as the camera panned back to see Jasper Redgrave asking what Lucien's wife thinks of him now. That was such a sick twist in the segment. I really enjoyed the writing here and I can't wait to see more! More importantly, I look forward to seeing what Redgrave has up his sleeve.
TOP THREE MOMENTS:
- Invasion! Great work on this PPV quality match. Everyone got a feature, and I feel like this match did a lot of promote Ring King by showing the vast amount of talent scratching for the top.
- Great tension in the Heir segments. Jackson knows that Zeus is playing with a full deck while he's missing some key cards. Unfortunately, I think Zeus is right in that Jackson is going to take Arcadia from him, whether he realizes thats what he's doing or not.
- Listen, I know I comment on Captain Arcadia stuff a lot, but I like the delusion he lives in. Saying Wolf Fang Ayame is part of the Zookeeper's stable just because she has Wolf in her name? That's brilliant writing.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
Destructo and Michaela love story incoming?
Is Doom on a quest to redeem himself?
MY FAVORITE PROMO OF THE WEEK:
I knew when I saw Doom vs. Foley that Frank was going to come out swinging, and boy did he ever. A great promo by one of our finest in his grand return. Brilliant work and Congrats!
HAVE YOUR SAY:
Gemini - Interesting to see The Night getting stopped from taking out Gem by Harold Attano. There's a lot of nuance in this story, and I'm interested to see if that gets explored.
Slade Kincaid - Brilliant introduction for big Slade. Just love it. Fine work!
TOP THREE MOMENTS:
1. the world championship switching hands the very next show was the top moment for me. i didn’t really too much expect this to be the outcome coming into the show, but doom of course is a formidable opponent at any point and time so i shouldnt really be too shocked. it was a crazy matchup regardless of how long it was that i enjoyed from start to end.
2. the invasion match was a crazy read as well. so much action going on all over the place with so many capable and viable possible winners of the match, and it was mr sunshine who came out on top of everybody. like i said before, hes been one of my favorite characters here and hes had a crazy run with him so far.
3. im intrigued by this tombstone and kincaid situation. mainly because its a new character here and from what i see, usually those new guys dont get into the mix with someone as polarizing as a tombstone. on top of that, his character is interesting to me as well. so when we put that with tombstone and what we know about him, it should make for an interesting next couple weeks.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
whats the history between kincaid and tombstone?
could nero and graves ever really coexist?
will jackson embrace being perseus?
what happens to nox when doom gets his hands on him?
MY FAVOURITE PROMO OF THE WEEK:
i enjoyed doom and foley’s promos alike. i enjoyed how personal both of those were, and how they both had me fully invested within the first hundred words or so in general. much deserved win by doom absolutely but i thought they both brought it this week.
YOUR SAY:
super excited to have a chance to challenge for the world championship man. to be able to possibly join a long list with the best of the best is definitely a bucket list item, and it would mean alot for me if i could accomplish that. im thankful for all the opportunities and challenges that have come my way in my time here with yall, and i cant wait for whats ahead.
