Locked & Loaded
POP OF THE NIGHT:
Not to beat a dead horse but the Calypso debut takes top spot for me this week. A month of a super freaky build culminated in an even freakier debut that adds strength to Six Feet Under. Zeus and Narcissa have their work cut out for them now and when you consider that EMM and Gemini may be on the outs with Hydra, who's gonna protect the baron when Tombstone and his crew come for Raven and Mark Hayes?
BURNING QUESTIONS:
- Was Muerte an intended target or did Grizzly fuck up? Isn't he a drunk?
- Why did George meet with Zeus?
- Will Raven & Hayes survive?
HAVE YOUR SAY:
Color scheme, fonts and layout for locked & loaded was cool! The graphics were badass as usual but helped provide a different feel for the event. The storyline was okay throughout. It's a three way tag feud that focused mostly on Burning Justice, which was fine. It makes sense and continued a theme throughout the month that culminated in a good match.
POP OF THE NIGHT:
So, I'll give one shout to the debut of Calypso in A Shine to Your Soul because what a badass debut? Like, absolutely awesome way to bring in that character after a month or so of her tormenting Narcissa.
However, my biggest pop came from Hammer Time because I never get tired of mid-match segments, especially when they further both the match and the storyline outside of it. It got set up in the beginning of the show and the payoff was absolutely perfect. Will Hayes die? Will Raven die? I'm very curious to see the fallout next week.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
Are Hayes and Raven dead?
What's next for Grizzly St. Claire?
What will Tombstone do to Zeus if he kills Hayes and Raven?
What will we learn next from Fernicus' diary?
HAVE YOUR SAY:
Jackson Cade: I'm so fucking elated to have won the #1 contender match honestly. I'm very interested in seeing what happens next between Cade and his brother now that they're going to have to fight it out over the title. I'm also curious as to what happens next in regards to Jasper and CJ, or if Redgrave will actually even go after him and is instead just using the threat to torment Cade.
Hatchet: I really loved Captain Arcadia hunting Hatchet using his shield. I think it was smart of him! As for the segment as a whole, I liked it! I really feel like Hatchet's personality gets through every week with how he's portrayed.
POP OF THE NIGHT:
A shine to your soul takes it. I wanted to be different but I've been waiting for this reveal for a month now and it definitely fulfilled what I wanted. Calypso, an elder is not what I expected but it was such a great surprise. She seems to be a part of Six Feet Under or at least aligned with them and that is a great force to be involved with, this is a lot of powerful factions coming together right before chain reaction and I can't wait to see all those teams react to each other when it happens either with each other or as opposition. Calypso has so much potential and I can't wait to see her in more promos.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
Will Calypso and Tombstone work together to make Six Feet Under as strong as possible?
How much do Mark Hayes and Raven mean to Tombstone if he'll leave a title chance to save them?
How Wil the brother's title feud go?
HAVE YOUR SAY:
Well, it was nice while it lasted but Laner you definitely earned that title, great promo. I am really curious how Narcissa will act back on the chase especially after losing the title to a man she already beat and who wasn't supposed to be in the match in the first place until a favor was approved by Zeus. She has a lot a different directions she can take or must take and I wonder what will happen in the coming weeks. I hope to see angry her again soon because when she's emotional and desperate for her way, she usually gets it. I love the possibility for multiple routes she can to and I can't wait to see what she does.
POP OF THE NIGHT: A Shine to Your Soul
This is one of those shows where any number of segments could have went here, but I really enjoyed the debut of Calypso through and through. Im looking forward to finding out more about who Calypso actually is, but this first month of segments have been huge for the character and I expect the hits to keep coming.
- BURNING QUESTIONS:
- Are we about to get a Zeus vs Tombstone showdown? (I fucking hope so.)
- Have Hayes and Raven met their end?
- What is George Cade up to and why does it require meeting with Zeus?
- What will come from Fernicus' Diary.
HAVE YOUR SAY:
It truly is a never-ending story. What will happen next now that the Cade Brothers are heading for a battle against one another? Will that be when Jasper strikes? I can't see him sitting idly by while the two of them duke it out, but I'm unsure what he might have planned if anything. Will be interesting to see how the Jackson vs CJ match unfolds either way.
