Really wanna thank everyone for all the hard work they put into their roleplays and segments for this show. It was stellar as always.
Also really enjoy and appreciate the positive energy you have carried from the start here in the Wit Trials. It just makes this so much easier and fun for everyone!
Roleplay feedback will be distributed over the next few days. Team captains will hand it out to their team. If you have any questions or issues with the feedback hit your captain up. If that goes nowhere, feel free to reach out to one of the other two fedheads.

How would you rate Night 9 on a scale of 1-100? As a man who has been in the trials since day one-ish, this was one of the better “weekly shows”. So I’m going to give it a solid 93/100.
What was the best match? This is tough because one of Will’s strengths is making everyone look good in defeat and making the matches flow as you think they should. I could easily say the Main Event, but I’ll go with the Opener. It set the tone for the Wit Trials and I’m excited to see where this set goes.
What was the best spot? That fucking Scyth. It’s such a good element to the Penalty Box match. It wasn’t used in some murder-haus (see what I did there) way. It was entertaining and also a dangerous element to an already dangerous situation.
What was the best segment? Egotistically LCP, but the team PIC ones were great and really showcased all of them as characters and writers.
What was the best line(s) of commentary? I showed Will this as soon as I saw it and I called him a dick. (From the Opening of The Show) An image of Shawn Warstein is generated.
“Now we’re talking.”
“Where shall I assign him?”
”Team TLS, obviously.”
Best moment of the show? I can’t get over the ending of the Main Event. It’s a personal thing for me but the way it was written was fantastic.
Most shocking moment of the show? Did Penelope stop Plethora with one fucking hand? (Rereads) Holy fuck, she sure did.
Did you like the LIVE posting format? Always do, but that’s because you don’t use long breaks in between the segments. I personally wish you’d just post the whole match but that kinda defeats the purpose. I want it now god dammit!
Did you like the 'connection' element of previous matches playing into future ones? 10000000% it added a bit of fun to the matches not knowing what wrench would be thrown in there.
Suggestions? At this moment no. Now I’ve got to go slide into TLS’s DM’s and bitch at him because… well apparently that’s what I do.

What was the best match? They all had a main event feel, but the main event had a mainer event feel to me. But again, all were good!
What was the best spot? Most definitely the leap of faith! Obviously an exciting moment on its own, but a clever way of doing it to get around the rules! Honorable mention to the X-Factor to the crotch. The crotch-factor.
What was the best segment? I’m an LCP mark, but I also appreciate the Disneyland Saga. Your intros are always exceptional also, give every event a big time feel.
What was the best line(s) of commentary? “WEAK ASS BOOKING!” x2 (OCW! OCW! OCW!)
Best moment of the show? Hard to pinpoint one. The closing sequence to the main event was great, really a nail biter. I enjoyed how close it all was (and will not enjoy that moving forward). I liked CYPH3R lending a helping foot! I'm also going to enjoy cheering on Paul all season.
Most shocking moment of the show? Team TLS on top!?
Did you like the LIVE posting format? As always, I really enjoy the live releases. It’s tough to wait, but manages to make things 10x as exciting, and just easier to get through.
Did you like the 'connection' element of previous matches playing into future ones? Really enjoyed the format here with the stipulations. You did a great job as always factoring these things in. As I was reading the other matches, I thought damn I didn’t go hard enough on the stipulation I chose, but even that was used well at the end for the last second breather for Warstein.
Suggestions? More Buckley
Anything else you'd like to add: Very strong start to the final chapter of this story. I can tell it's going to be a wild ride.
WHAAAAT? FEEDBACK WITHIN 24 HOURS?!!!! Don't get used to it. I promise my feedback for the PPV will be like 2 months late.
How would you rate Night 9 on a scale of 1-100? 90. Great jump out the gates. So many segments, quality matches, all good stuff. Now time to see the characters' stories evolve!
What was the best match? The main event was very main eventy, so let's go with that. I do have a soft spot for the opening match that I was in as it was the only standard triple threat and it was a cool read.
What was the best spot? Parker can't climb the top rope? Off the balcony it is then!
What was the best segment? Freedom 'rallying' the troops.
What was the best line(s) of commentary? Hood: The fuck is up with Penelope. Did she drink like 10 five hour energy drinks before this match or something?
That one Warstein mentioned was good too.
Best moment of the show? All the little teamwork spots, e.g., CYPH3R helping Meyhu, Plethora's hooded peeps helping Corey.
Most shocking moment of the show? Penelope catching Plethora's swing with one hand. Pretty sure there were supposed to be no Space Wizards...
Did you like the LIVE posting format? I do, but I don't really get to participate much due to being at work so it's no real issue for me one way or the other.
Did you like the 'connection' element of previous matches playing into future ones? Absolutely. This made every match tell a different story and I can only imagine that made writing them a less torturous experience too. Great addition to the Trials.
Suggestions? More people should call Parker an uggo.
Anything else you'd like to add: Two things from a selfish end: 1 - You got the general gist of the Kieran King character in-ring. Was cool to see. 2 - I really appreciated the summary of Strength at the start. I think it'll actually help me sell my ALIAS story when I circle back to that, so thank you.

Greetings friends,
First of all, I would like to say how great it is to be writing with you all.
The show was excellent, just as you'd expect from a White Dean/TLS/Pike production. I was only able to do the live format for the first match due to having company staying with me this week, but I look forward to taking more advantage of that in future shows.
The show was an easy read, I got the feeling that those writing are writing deep and interesting characters (I didn't get a chance to read RPs other than my opponents this week sadly - next time around should be better).
Having first class results like this, and such a positive vibe to the roster, really inspires me to put more into my work.. so I shall RP even harder next time when I'm fighting.. oh shit, what? I'm fighting Meyhu? NOOOOO! Weak ass booking (but first class writing).
But seriously results were spectacular.
Also I'd like to re-emphasize how good it is to be somewhere with a super positive vibe. I stuck around for a few shows of OCW after THE BIG CHANGE and the vibe there was not particularly positive. I think the roster was just very... divided and confused. It generally made me less motivated to RP. I didn't think I was going to come over here because.. meh.. I'm kinda OCW-only. But I feel a very positive vibe here and I'm glad I decided to jump back into the pool. I've been pretty busy getting ready for the company I'm hosting presently so I haven't been able to hang around the Discord much, but whenever I stop by it just feels very fun/positive. So, after my company leaves, I hope to be able to check in a bit more often.
I don't know if I know who Penelope and Warstein are (I don't follow the E-Fedding world at all), but I enjoyed reading their RPs this week. Cheers to both of you.
Also - because in-character I absolutely must rag on Mario non-stop.. to do anything else would be disrespectful to the Bifford/Mario feud.. but here in the HALLOWED HALLS OF THE OOC BOARD, I will say it's so awesome to be able to do e-wrestling with him again. He's responsible for The Big Bifford being what he is, so... it feels very fitting that this all continue. And with that I'm going to go on Twitter and harass you now...

How would you rate Night 9 on a scale of 1-100? 90
What was the best match? The Main Event
What was the best spot? Sean hitting the Leap of Faith off the balcony.
What was the best segment? Penelope’s Haunted Mansion at Disneyland
What was the best line(s) of commentary?
MoMo: He’s got his attention on Penelope. I think he senses she might be more than meets the eye.
Hood: She’s a Transformer?!
Best moment of the show? Penelope stopping Plethora with one hand
Most shocking moment of the show? The closing moments of the main event.
Did you like the LIVE posting format? It’s good for those who can participate and be part of it but I won’t be able to stay up for it all the time so it doesn’t really affect me. Good to see everyone enjoy it though.
Did you like the 'connection' element of previous matches playing into future ones? Yeah, it makes the impetus on whoever wins the previous match more pressing. Not only do you win points for yourself and your team but your actions play into what happens next.
Suggestions? From a selfish standpoint, it’s cool seeing Sean but it would be good to see him be more than just a spot-monkey. It would be good to see him be a more all-round credible threat. That’s just a very minor point from my side though

How would you rate Night 9 on a scale of 1-100? I'll give this show a 91. It was excellent for a "regular" event and gets things off to a great start, but I wanted to leave room to grow!
What was the best match? The main event. It managed to feel like both a natural conclusion to the preceding show and its own thing at the same time. The intensity was high, every spot was meaningful, and it gave me as a reader a strong impression of how the match was unfolding in terms of space and of time.
What was the best spot? To be selfish for a moment, the Svoboda Special to cap off Paul and Corey going toe-to-toe had me marking out while belying a strong understanding of the character I'm trying to portray.
What was the best segment? Team PIC at Disney was a whole lot of fun while still providing some insight into the characters involved. Can we treat all of those parts as one super segment? I can't quite choose!
What was the best line(s) of commentary? This is tough to choose. There were so many references, in-jokes, and Easter eggs!
Hood: Tomaytoe tomahtoeyourmothersucksass
I'm a man of simple tastes!
Best moment of the show? Sean Parker and the Flying Loophole!
Most shocking moment of the show? Team TLS white-knuckles its way to an early lead!
Did you like the LIVE posting format? Are you kidding me? I love this shit! Once I got caught up to the flow of action, each update seemed to come just late enough for the suspense to build up without the wait becoming an annoyance.
Did you like the 'connection' element of previous matches playing into future ones? I did! It did wonders for making every match on the card matter, and for more than just the participants. I have to imagine it was a little bit tougher to get results together in a timely fashion when you couldn't really start writing until the winners were decided, but I also feel like it paid off.
Suggestions? After reading this show, I really don't get the impression there's anything I need to suggest!
Anything else you'd like to add: I knew I'd be kicking myself if I didn't at least try to get in on the Trials, and I'm glad I took the leap of faith to apply. This is already clearly something special and I'm thrilled to be part of it!
I really appreciated the care and depth that went into producing this. I know that it's not easy to give such attention to all twelve characters within this format, but in reading this over I felt that there was supreme dedication given to ensure that everyone was given a great return on the work that they put in. I think that narrowing things down to a "best" would be a little unfair because as an overarching show itself, this was quite a satisfying read, and I'm so glad I was able to participate. It really makes me look forward to what's to come, and to really improve what I'm writing with my silly little art project to match the level of enthusiasm and skill that everyone else is bringing, as well as what the finished product provides us.
Oh, and the ham. The ham is important. (Even though I personally don't eat ham.)
All of these reviews have been amazing! Makes me want to hug each and every one of you...but, HR is kinda weird about the owners putting their hands on the talent.
So I'll just throw you each a solid nod of respect and appreciation.
