What a BANGER!

Couple days late on my review, but this card was packed as hell, and I needed a few days just to read through it all and digest it!

First and foremost, huge hats off to DOLLY WATERS! It's about time we gave our top community member the top belt. The RP they dropped on my head is easily the frontrunner for RPOTY right now: it was 10k of relevant story aimed right at my character, accompanied by a huge payoff to the months-long story arc of her faction's union push.

Brilliant storytelling, through and through. I think Dolly's RP honestly should ask us to consider: should we permanently raise the word limit for uni matches? Either way, Dolly's RP definitely raised the standards for the entire main event scene!

But damn, she's got SEB nipping at her heels with a briefcase! A revolution taking power just as the former Emperor comes home and reclaims his 'divine right' to the title, if you will. I think that could be a very interesting dynamic!

Them No Good Bastards keep retaining their Anarchy tag belts by DQ, which I find hilarious and excellent heel work! I'm interested in seeing the story with Scoops/36 play out on Thursday Nights. Scoops and 36 have BOTH ALREADY defeated TNGB, but due to nonsense shenanigans TNGB retained the belts both times! I'm hoping that TNGB's next defense will be a NO DQ tag match, and in a NO DQ situation, I think things could get pretty wild between Scoops/36 and TNGB!

I'm sad to see Lucy's reign as TV champion end! I think she did a tremendous job holding down the TV division, with very consistent defenses and awesome RPs every cycle. But if the TV title is meant to turn people into stars by the time they're done with it, I think Lucy may have accomplished everything she needed to accomplish with the TV belt! I can definitely see Lucy rising up the card and challenging for even bigger belts, despite her setback against the always awesome Sarah Wolf!

Speaking of Black Rainbow, those XWF Tag belts keep playing hot potato back and forth! Not going to lie, I was shocked when Glazkov and Cambric won the belts on Warfare, but after I read their roleplay it all made total sense. I was excited to see their rematch against The Exiles....and now, I'm DEFINITELY excited to see the inevitable trilogy match!

BOOK IT NOW, THAD!

I also have to give a hats off to Thunder Knuckles, who walks out of Leap of Faith as the ONLY double-champion in the XWF. Justin York was an incredibly game opponent, and he came out with some heat this cycle. But I'm not sure there's anyone in the fed right now who's quite as cerebral as The Knuckleman. TK has started to become a real problem on Thursday Nights, and I would LOVE to see TK vs Graves at 1k a piece...but with TK and Graves holding opposite belts on Anarchy, I think Jimmy Stars has a lot of time to EDGE US before giving us what we want!

Speaking of Graves....holy shit, I'm honestly not sure he's beatable. He's a damn machine on Anarchy, and it's no surprise that his dominance extends to pay per views. In order to beat Graves for the Anarchy Championship, I think someone would have to sacrifice their first born...but Charlie already tried that, and it didn't work! So if anyone ever figures out a way to pin Graves....please let a brother know! We've seen dominant champions on Anarchy before, but I think Graves's reign is going to go down as the GOAT Anarchy reign hands down...and that's a #TACTFACT!

BTW, I love ya still Larry: your RPs always put a huge smile on my face.

All in all, this was a tremendous show- and definitely a great prelude to Relentless! Huge thanks to everyone who wrote matches, submitted segments, and roleplayed their asses off!
