Overall Rating: B

THOUGHTS

-WCCW reaches a new milestone - it's first "B" rated show. We've had 26 shows to this point, and only reached B- twice, so this is huge. And it comes as a surprise, I didn't think it was going so well when I was booking it. Texas popularity keeps steady at 69.9%. If it takes a "B" rating to stay at 70%, we've got a little further to slip in Texas, I think.

-Obviously, the main event was the most important factor - David and the Super Destroyer validate my decision to run their match as the main event, rating an excellent B+. 9 of the last 11 matches David has been involved in has reached B- or above. This appears to be the 3rd match in my tenure to reach B+. That's the end of the current loan agreement with the Destroyer - there may be more in the future.

-My road agent says Akbar's character needs "freshening up". I'll look into tweaking it, but I'd say a guy named "Skandor Akbar" only has so many options.

-The Manny/Kabuki angle was hyped throughout the show simply because I wanted to get through all the angle segments and complete the feud tonight. It may have helped give heat to the angle - the segments themselves were all pretty mediocre, but the cage match delivered a solid B, and took up almost 18 minutes. This was Kabuki's 13th match for me, and highest rated - before this, he only had one other match reach even B-. In Manny's 7th match for me, it is also his highest rated yet.

-The Fritz/Akbar angle also got a lot of time, and the segments were once again highly rated. The match (which at 5 minutes, took up much less time than the related interviews and promos) got a C+ even though Waldo was apparently "off his game".

-I didn't intend to have a "Dusty Finish" in the 6-man tag. I set the titles to change, the game gave he warning asking me if I was sure I wanted to do that without Hayes being involved. I either accidental said "no", or I discovered a bug, since the titles didn't change hands. So the Freebirds are still the champs - for now. .

-The Adams/Bundy angle mercifully comes to a close, with a pretty good C+ match. It may be time for an Adams heel turn.

-The Garvin/Casey feud is just getting started, but unfortunately, it's obvious the first time they wrestle that they don't have good chemistry. We'll go ahead with the angle, but it will stay at the bottom of the card. If Garvin can make this interesting, my opinion of him will go even higher.
