WFWF presents "No Remorse" - Results

It was a well written, good match. Don't second guess yourself.

It's a little different having to write matches for characters that have established movesets while trying to make sure everyone looks strong. You have full creative control in text and fantasy, especially about outcomes because you control the entire roster, but as someone who's written for all three, I ultimately like writing matches here more. It gives me a sense of satisfaction that my piece is just part of a larger scale project, and I helped in the effort.

I mean, I normally write my own matches and as a result, get to take a few extra creative liberties with the opponents to benefit the story I'm trying to tell. If someone not affiliated with the main event this show would have written it, I highly doubt:

A: Wolf would have gotten to look as strong as he did for my team because while he put a solid showing, someone would see his partner, me, did better so give my guy more time. I wanted Wolf to get more screen time so to say because he deserved to be showcased.

B: No one would have put over the mind games Sam and Drakz are playing with one another and have for a while now. They wouldn't have thought to have Drakz blow off Williams, get pissy when he realized this was a bigger problem than he anticipated, and let the champ get it taken to him early by the brand new Wolf. Drakz is the world champ, Wolf is the new guy who lost his debut. Why should Drakz be worried? He's the cocky heel. When when he's taken to task, he's not afraid, but knows he has to get out to wrap his head around the entire situation as it had become entirely bigger than he expected.

C: Not have Wolf take the cover. Dean taking the win away from Drakz was pre-determined by the group if that team won. Logic would have said, because of A, have Wolf be the one to take the fall. Nope. Williams takes the fall, protects the new guy and tells a better story because of the short history Dean and Williams had before Dean left in 2008.

D: Dean using Trace's finisher to further their feud. I ran the idea on a quip by Dean not expecting him to like it, but he did. I didn't even consult Trace. Risky. But you know why I chose that? Because the fade to black was Demon over Dean after the brawl. Why not give Demon a chance to show off how much of an arrogant dick he is by using the same move Dean did, but to much more effect. I'm not even involved in the Dean/Demon feud other than I'm somewhat in the loop. And it turned out perfect for both of their characters.

You still have a lot of creative liberty when you write matches. And like I said, yours was good. You're not even required to conform to the traditional style the every show match writers (me, Drakz and Dean) use. You can write it as you please. The only real rules would be keep it in current tense, and don't have someone completely break their character in the match. Like, I managed to write it so Drakz was confused. That's completely logical and fits in his character. But if I would have written him as afraid, Drakz would have flown the pond and murdered me.

It's a delicate balance. But I knew you could write because I'd read your shows. I didn't anticipate you being THAT good at RPing, but you were a match writer before everything else, and trust me, it was good and fit with the show. Maybe once you're here a bit longer and get to really know the characters you're using through previous matches and their RPs, you'll fully come around. You literally wrote cold for a bunch of new characters, as a new character yourself in your first go. That's impressive.
