Ring of Poison presents POISON TV #1

[whatthe[img]http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif[/img]isrop]

The most hotly anticipated return since Bastion Booger at Wrestlemania X7...Poison TV is back, and in a brand new format! Hosted by Mikey Reynolds and Excalibur, this week's show features two matches, tons of promos, and all the usual hi-jinx to be expected from an ROP show, but condensed into a compact, concise half hourly format! Hooray!

I love your show mikey! The DA'S look like giants for the smaller scale rings and and some of the paint is kinda chipped/smeared on your customs. Great to see a bunch of string poses but i can see the string in a shot and in the Desmond Wolfe match i can see your finger. Tighten up those pics and you have a winner. I was really entertained with this show and absoulutely loved the vignette with Raven. Cant wait for the next episode.

I WILL LEAVE A FULL REPLY, but I just wanted to say I love Gresham being in ROP. I've got plans for him in indypendent.

Great show! I really like the energy in the first match and felt that it was very entertaining. The only complaint I have about the first match is the little bit of a lack of time. But, this might just be my way of thinking because nothing was wrong with the match. Eddie Kingston had a very good promo to build up the ROP Roulette that is coming soon. I love the bit where Desmond cut a promo and insulted the fans to set him as a heel. The promo about a possibility of a Rick Rude vs Rhett Titus sounds great I just don't understand how wrestlers like Rick Rude fit into ROP. But while I don't understand why he is in ROP I understand he is there for a bigger ROP fan base. Smart Idea! Jonathan Gresham is being built great for only being on one show. From his astonishing match with The Dragon to putting on a promo with Brian Kendrick who calls himself "The Man With A Plan" which is true. Jonathan Gresham will most likely have one heck of a match with Brian Kendrick next month and I hope you add The Dragon as Jonathan Gresham's tag team partner and possibly have someone such as Desmond Wolfe or Alex Shelley as Brian Kendrick's partner. I believe a match like that would be great. Now, its time for the Main Event!!! Great show thus far. Man is this music off for Johnny Nitro. I love how you blended the Wolfe intro from TNA into the Nigel McGuinness theme. This will certainly be a great match. I liked the match and thought that it really put Desmond Wolfe over in ROP although I had never seen Johnny Nitro on ROP which really took away the Debut feel for Desmond Wolfe and made Johnny Nitro seem like a very young Jeff Hardy from the early 1990's. I hope Desmond gets to wrestle again very soon because I always have liked watching Desmond Wolfe wrestle in the wrestling ring. Hopefully next weeks show turns out very well like this week.

Overall I liked the show and thought it was very good. Next week I would give some more thought into the formula of match making because if I remember right and I am pretty sure I am right, You only had two matches and several promos. ROP reminds me of a 2005 TNA or a current ROH on HD Net product. I hope that next week you give some more match time for the matches because the superstars you have in your show certainly have talent and I believe they just need more time to shine in the ROP ring. But with the very few tweaks that could be made to the show we know as "ROP Poison TV" where I intend to see a great show like always from a great pic fedder named Mikey. I'm not saying the show was bad but just give the matches more time because besides that the show was great. Thanks for reading my reply and I hope you use some of my suggestions because that is what I am here to help you with.

Alright lets get to it shall we. I have to say that right now ROP is def my favorite fed in terms of consistency and and just over all feel. I love the music and the promo's and the poses and in ring action gets better and better with every show so Im really happy with the product. Raven promo was great. Man I don't know who either of these guys are but they put up one hell of a match. Eddi kingston promo was good but I've already seen him and HERO a bunch I want something new. Sweeney promo was decent, Rude in ROP seems cool hopefully he kills titus. Desmond match I LOVED his entrance all he needed was shades and his look would have been complete. I like your DA poses (I'm a mark for DA's so) I loved the moveset by wolfe great debut by him, Hopefully we don't see Nitro again he just does'nt feel right in this fed to me I don't know.

Poses	Presentation	Progression	Promo's
A real improvement in this area with the addition of some DIs. The main event was slick and I really like that Desmond Wolfe figure. I'm tempted to start another fed with just DI figures, haha. I won't though. Really fun contest there and plenty of good poses. Despite the extreme limitation on RAs, I think you did pretty good in the first match as well. I still think some of the backstage interviews could use a little more life. Overall Rating: ***	New camera and it certainly cleans up the presentation a lot. That's a good thing... Although this also means that certain things are more evident. Two steps forward causes one backwards, in that sense. I caught a fair amount of fingers and a little string. With the darker picture, these would have been less evident. I think it may be time to invest in a new ring or perhaps build some new turnbuckle corners out of the ones you have. Raise them up, find some better ropes. ROP needs to go prime time baby! Overall Rating: *** 1/2	No real long term booking elements, beyond just a couple of promos. To me this felt like an exciting, but not main show. I think that's what you were going for. Like Sunday Night Heat (before it became irrelevant).. A chance to introduce some new stars, show off some talent and move forward. If that's what you were going for, you achieved it in spades. Gresham particularly excited me, alongside Wolfe. Nice setup for next week's show as well. Overall Rating: ***	The promos were simple, short but served their purpose. I still think this is one area that ROP has plenty of room to grow. It seems like you definitely tried to grow it some though, and that I can appreciate. Again, Wolfe gets high honors here as he felt quite real. Overall Rating: ***

Conclusion: As a secondary show, this was a strong B+ kind of performance. If this was supposed to be a main show, then obviously it's not as good. I'm getting a Hardcore TV/Heat kind of vibe and I liked it. I like a nice quick paced show that I can enjoy and ROP is really fun and different.

Final Rating: 12.5/20 - Solid!

I probably liked this show better than the score reveals, but it's my first time using Shifty's system. You may have sold me on a Desmond Wolfe figure too, if I ever see him.

[deskjet]

Your new logo is great. And your backstage setup looks good as well. great Raven promo. Gresham vs Dragon was good. I always like seeing these new guys in your fed. Love the Sweeney character especially in a role as agent. Stuff like that is so missing in todays wrestling. Wolfe/Nitro..Yes! That was a very good match and I'm glad Wolfe got the huge win. Really looking forward to where you go with him. Is his head really that big? lol. Great job man, and good to see you continuing to roll through this.

@bigeviljohn: Thanks for the kind words. I don't personally think the DAs look too big, if you look at the ring they use on TNA Impact i'd say mines is about in scale with that - and I'd look daft with the RSR lol

@mck: gresham <3

@brp: thanks for the great reply, glad you enjoyed the show

easy1986: i only used nitro because i had used him a few months back and i dont have any new sort of low level indy customs ready to go yet. glad you enjoyed the show apart from that, and nitro won't be making too many more appearances.

@odb: yeah, i was shooting exactly for a sunday night heat/wcw saturday night type deal - build the storylines and feature mid to lower card guys. i did it mainly for the old timers that complained my luchas de apuestas! show was too long COUGHgmoneyCOUGH

Denver Broncos Fan: thanks for the reply dude - and yes, wolfe's head is absolutely MASSIVE haha!

Poses	Presentation	Progression	Promo's
The poses on this show were a lot better than before Mikey, I don't know whether it's the fact that there was less to judge, or whether you've been using string more, but things flowed much better than they have done in previous viewings. Definitely enjoyed the main event, as it showed you have some great skill for posing, and perhaps maybe it's just the RA's that are limiting you. The best pose, imo, of this show had to be the whole Rebound Lariat sequence. That was awesome dude! Overall Rating: ****	The new camera has just made your fed, along with DJ and The Warsman's, the best presented on this board! Your arena captures the indy feel perfectly now that you've brought in an awesome new entrance way, and I dig the small ring, as it just makes things feel a lot more low budget, at least to me. While I feel you could do with diversifying backstage area's so there's more than just the commentary booth for promos, I don't mind it really, and I honestly feel that everything has come together now with the presentation. Camera, Site and Arena are all as good as they can possibly be! Overall Rating: *****	Despite this feeling very Heat like in how it ran, I think you got some good story development in. The Kendrick/Gresham feud looks like it's starting up, and you've established a new star in Wolfe, whom I can't wait to see move up the ranks! Overall Rating: ***	The promo's on this show were pretty good as they always are. I just feel that maybe you could do with more backstage areas to give you more ways of building rivalries, and characters, for example having two guys fighting somewhere in the arena and having it caught on some form of CCTV, or maybe some allies like Crossbones and Hero talking tactics in the locker room. The actual promo's you did for the show captured characters well though, and I feel you do this the best on the board along with DJ. I hope you take the suggestions I've made though man, just trying to help out! Overall Rating: *** 1/2

Conclusion: Solid little show here Mikey and a nice change of pace! ROP is slowly becoming one of my (if not my actual) favourite feds on here! I just hope you can stick with it along with Uni and all that jazz bro!

Final Rating: 15.5 /20 - Good!

[tirva]

Decent opener. It was hard to tell what the dragon submission was by the pics. Kendrick! Nice surprise. Gresham and Kendrick look like it's going to be a solid feud.
Huge string pose in the Nitro/Wolfe match! Glad you ain't holding the figures as much.
I'm very interested to see what you do with Wolfe. Solid match with him n nitro. Your poses were good in this one dude!
Keep it up bro!
