And that does it for Night 7! Only one ‘Night’ left in the Strength Trials before we hit Angkor Wat and the finale here in Cambodia!

Results can be found HERE

I’d like to remind everyone that they are still in this. Even if you can’t win your division, your team is still in the hunt. All four members from the winning team will receive entry into The Great Illuminatus and will have a shot at uniting the TRIAD and winning it all! Everything is still in play!

I don’t have much else to say. You all know the drill. Rps were great. You’re all amazing, blah blah blah.

If you wanna leave a review, go for it. If you’d like to send any suggestions use the suggestions form on the website (HERE).

Individual feedback will be distributed over the next few days.

I’ll see you all again next Wednesday for TRIAD radio.

How would you rate Night 6 on a scale of 1-100?
What was the best match?
What was the best spot?
What was the best segment?
What was the best line(s) of commentary?
Best moment of the show?
Most shocking moment of the show?
Suggestions?
Anything else you'd like to add:

How would you rate Night 6 on a scale of 1-100? 90? 95? I'm gonna say 92, my height.

What was the best match? Sahara/Dadbod/Bacchus/Knox - This one had big red hot opener vibes and a ton of drama with the scores going in versus how they came out after. Bacchus scores big to help keep Triumvirate strong heading into the back half of the trials, while Knox carries on Glum's curse and has some ground to make up after Sean Parker says hi. Dadbod and Sahara are both in tight spots points-wise, but shit could get wild in the last two shows.

What was the best spot? A couple of spots tying together, but basically Marx attempting to pin both Strat and SEB at once, so Strat and SEB decide to double up on their finishers to Marx so they can eliminate the match's monster. Cool display of mental gears turning for multiple characters shown via action in the match.

What was the best segment? Alias chatting with Wolf then PIC. Just the line "Get my stuff," with an innocuous sounding phrase having sinister implications, nice JJ Abrams mystery box, is that still a thing, is Alias' stuff the mystery box?

What was the best line(s) of commentary?

MoMo: Tremendous strength by Dionysus who is looking very Xtreme right now...as he wrestles on TV.

I'm sure this line was a reference to something, but I can't imagine what it would be a reference to.

Best moment of the show?

Not really a moment, but I loved the exploration elements added to the Tears of Ta Prohm, with added violence, and checking the different doors. Reminded me of Legends of the Hidden Temple, if the competitors could actually fight the temple guards instead of just having to fork over a medallion so they weren't captured.

Most shocking moment of the show?

Nickleman gets deported as Sean Parker gets imported.

Suggestions?

I know I mentioned Mortal Kombat, Indiana Jones and Legends of the Hidden Temple as part of the Strength Trials stew. Honestly, just more of that, I really like the different elements mixing together on these shows. Just being distinct from regular efed shows, the Strength Trials and Bravery Trials both feel distinct from each other based on the locations, the gimmick matches, and the plot lines popping up based on the event.

Anything else you'd like to add:

Excited to be in the home stretch for the Strength Trials. Conceptually I think I'm more into jungle temples than ghost ships, mainly for the Indiana Jones and Mortal Kombat vibes and I'm hyped to see what other crazy shit gets thrown at everyone.

I apologize for being lackluster on the feedback as of late... a lot going in in my personal life, limiting a lot of my time to really give feedback worth a damn.

Still, as always, amazing writing and attention to detail is what continues to set this place apart from all the others. While it's not perfect (nothing ever is, is it?) it's just as or even more polished than anything I've ever seen. And that goes from the writing, the introductions, to the graphics and the promotion on Twitter. You make it feel like a big deal, so it comes across as such.

If I was asked to be greedy and want more of something, I'd say I'd like more radio shows and reviews. While the one we have somewhat goes over the Triad it tends to go into depth on the other show... which is probably the point of it, but I said I was being greedy.

This show was great, as always, and I'm sorry for not leaving better/more detailed feedback.

In b4 deadline! Woooooo!

How would you rate Night 6 on a scale of 1-100? 85. Big fan of this show. The only reason it's not in the 90s is because I hate double knock down spots in wrestling (e.g., double clotheslines) and this had a match finish that way. I understand the logic, just don't like it personally.

What was the best match?
I'm going to throw kudos to the main event. It was very different compared to anything else that has been written in the Strength Trials and really tried to hone in on each of our characters, not just in terms of how they wrestle but who they are.

What was the best spot?
Like Cat, I'll say Marx trying to pin both Seb and Strat, but more for the symmetry and throwback to earlier in the show. Wrestling tries to avoid that sort of thing usually, within shows (between shows happens more), but I think there are cool storytelling devices available there, and this was one of them. Fans would have popped at the attempt.

What was the best segment?
Knox taking out Parker. Makes team TLS super interesting, and hits the interpersonal relationships thing that I've mentioned in the last couple of feedbacks. More segments like that plz everybody!

What was the best line(s) of commentary?Welsh: Hey, fuck you wine man!

I have no idea why but I laughed so much at that. That whole match had great commentary lines throughout.

Best moment of the show?
Seb beating Strat. I think the way that came across in the results felt like a big deal, which given Bacchus and Watson had similarly gotten the monkey off their back earlier in the show, is no easy feat to sell.

Most shocking moment of the show?
Nickleman out, Parker in. Tall order this late in the game, but getting reps in and feedback will be really helpful for him.

Suggestions?
Plz more segments fellow roster members.

Great stuff, LIAS, A

I joke around a lot but I do appreciate the reviews left here by ALIAS, Sahara Duke, and supersmashcat. It’s not mandatory. I’ve reached the point where I don’t even bother to ask much anymore. So, to get some from you guys and to have them be as detailed and informative as they are means a lot.

As writers, you guys know as well as I do that you can’t improve without feedback. And while I’m fine just doing whatever the hell it is I do without knowing how it goes over...I'd prefer to receive some direction to improve the results for you guys and TRIAD.

Only reason I do this is for you all. I’ve got no other reason to stick around. Your opinions on these results are paramount.

I had no idea how that main event would go off and I’m happy to hear it was, apparently well received. That means I’ll be eager and willing to do more matches like that.

Anyway, much love and respect to you all. We here at TRIAD think you’re all amazing writers and awesome people.

If you have any suggestions for this week’s results you can reach me via the Suggestions page on the website.
