My OCD nature hates late shows but I'm working on being okay with it. I also hate shows I feel are subpar and this definitely fits that bill.
There's only so many hours in the day and sadly efedding is losing the few hours it had in our schedules.
It might be bumpy the rest of the way but we'll get through the PPV and Illuminatus.
Appreciate you all sticking with us and being supportive.
You can leave a review for this show if you want...I really don't care. I think the matches are trash. Aside from the opening match, it was written by Bobby. Thanks for the help, buddy!
I'm going to be on the road most of tomorrow. I'll try and get the lineup for the PPV updated on the forums sometime tomorrow as well as the location details and whatnot. Hope you all have a great Mania weekend!

How would you rate Night 11 on a scale of 1-100? I know that Will doesn’t think this was a good show, and that’s his perfectionist showing. We all understand real life comes first and even with everything going on Will was able to put up a show that I would put on par with any Fed out there. Was it up to the usual Triad standard? No. Was it still better than a lot of places out there? You bet your sweet ass. With that this show gets an 81.
What was the best match? With everything going on I’m going to say the opener. I say that a lot here in Triad but again it sets the tone for the show and Bobby did an excellent job doing so.
What was the best spot? Egotistically Shawn finally not over thinking things. But the ending to the main event was phenomenal. It was almost as if any one of the three could come out on top and it was beautifully written.
What was the best segment? This King and Freedom segment had me laughing.
What was the best line(s) of commentary?
MoMo: It’s tough to move a man that weighs, like, six hundred pounds. Hood: Especially when he’s wearing a black robe. MoMo: I’m not sure what the black robe has to do with it. Hood: It makes him more menacing
Best moment of the show? I’m A Survivor.
Most shocking moment of the show? Honestly, Meyhu winning. Not that I don’t think he’s skilled or great at this game but to win all four matches in a cycle of Triad is extremely impressive.
What did you think about the match/event concept? I loved it because it showed that at least for Team TLS we were all on the same page.
Suggestions? Yeah. Will please understand that we are all happy to be here. You kept us in the loop about when the results were going to be up and that’s a step a lot of places don’t do. So as long as you’re communicating no one should have issue with “late” results.
Anything else you'd like to add Apparently bothering Will was the tactic this week and it worked. Back to the DMs.

Here's my feedback, then:
Please don't be hard on yourself.
You said yourself that everyone had a lot going on, but here's what you're leaving out - you communicated with us. You were open with us, you gave us reasonable expectations. For a hobby where you didn't really owe us anything and a lot of folks typically ghost in that situation until either they complete the show or they vanish? I think that's admirable.
I do think the short turnaround you have from deadline to expected show release does you no favors, even if you pre-write things before the deadline is up to give yourself a head start (at least, that's what I'd do), and I think it's perfectly reasonable of us to expect that you may need to delay the show if something comes up in your personal life.
As far as quality goes, eh. Sometimes it goes that way. You were under the gun and I think we had the expectation that things were going to be a bit rushed compared to prior shows. But please don't kick yourself over that, because again, you had a lot going on and you gave a lot more than I think most would have. I know you may not feel it's the quality you'd want to give, but still, considering the circumstances, you did a good job. (And if you really don't like it, then okay, it's in the past, we can't fix it, onto the next one. Let's rock that out.)
You work hard to give an environment that people want to be in, like Warstein said. We appreciate what you do. But moreover, we appreciate YOU. I'll take a hundred late shows if it means you're doing well and are happy.
How would you rate Night 11 on a scale of 1-100? I don't really know how to rate this one. By typical efed standards, this was a good show. By TRIAD standards? Yeah a little less. But it was probably more the connective tissue between the matches that was missing - which is kinda ironic. 83 maybe? 1 less than what I think I gave last week because the segments were really just Freedom and I, and LCP who isn't even in the Wit Trials, and then 1 less again because fuck Team TLS.
What was the best match? There was real variety in the way the matches played out this week which is great. I'm just going to send some love to TLS (his team can still go fuck themselves) for picking up the opener. It read differently than a Will match, but that's not a bad thing. The resulting product created a mat h that felt like it was fast-paced and high-tension, which worked really well given there were 3 non-heavyweights in the ring.
What was the best spot? Warstein and Parker faking out Plethora with Warstein clotheslining Parker to then take the big guy out from behind.
What was the best segment? Me goddamn it. Fuck LCP!
What was the best line(s) of commentary? MoMo: Ouch. Warstein almost had him down...almost. Hood: Yea, but he got that fuckin scythe out of there. MoMo: True...bringing his chances of being murdered significantly down. Hood: Yes, but still not zero. MoMo: Never zero.
Best moment of the show? Warstein getting back at Doc
Most shocking moment of the show? Meyhu going unbeaten
What did you think about the match/event concept? Some variety in how it played out, especially with Freedom, so that's good. It was nice to have a general theme that still allowed for some more classic wrestling storytelling.
