For those who are new to the fed or making your return/debuts on the past episode of Primetime, this is our post-show open discussion thread where you guys get to see the methods behind my madness that goes into the results, where you can see where I'm going in terms of storylines and weigh in what did you think.
House-Keeping
First of all, I want to thank senorvinnie for helping match-write on this show.
For those of you who are interested in participating in the Stardom Tag Team Classic, I have the following teams I have down for the tournament. If you want to add another team to this list or wish for me to make a tweak to this list, feel free to sound off below or shoot me a PM.
* = This team is competing under the Freebirds rule.
** = Unconfirmed team as they haven't either been formally introduced or I haven't presented the idea to the handlers
I'm not saying it's a problem here but I wanted to address something that became a topic of discussion after it happened an undisclosed fed. What am I talking about you ask? To make a long story short, a handler had their character(s) used without their consent in another fed. So while I have you all here, I want to address that I don't want to see that happen here and disclose a warning. If you use someone else's characters without their consent in your roleplays then your segments/promo/etc. will be disqualified from judging. That goes for roleplaying for the regular shows, interviews, or even ReAction. I have allowed it in the past, but I want to discontinue the use of writing your own commentary too for match-writers and segments. Why you ask? Simply put, it makes for a different voice in the show when you guys writecommentary and the individual interviewers (they count too as we have some handlers for some of them - if you don't know, simply ask first please) in your own voice that's strangely different than how I write them in the rest of the show. Going back and changing that essentially makes more work for me in the long haul when I'm coding and proofreading the results. In the recent results, I didn't bother changing this as I want you all to see what I'm talking about by example. Before anyone freaks out, no one did anything wrong. I want to add in a countermeasure in the event that something along the lines of this happens here.
Segment #1 - Senor Vinnie meets with Amanda & Rose
This was Vinnie's first of two segments he submitted to introduce the potential partnership between Amanda and Vinnie.
Segment #2 - Susie Price issues her decree over her loyal subjects
Much like the segment on our previous episode of Primetime, the Women's Champion is scouting her potential competition as she has no interest in the Stardom Tag Classic.
Amanda Cortez vs. Mariah ends in no contest after interference from Casey Cortez
❤Rose❤ and I agreed to this finish after the last show actually. The only thing I changed was that both Amanda and Mariah got some offense on each other before they decided it was enough and they didn't want to play into Xion's hand. Besides, it would be a pretty boring read for you guys if they didn't want to fight at all. I could literally picture that spot how Casey beat down Mariah and Amanda as I was writing it though.
Segment #3 - Return of the Bradley Clan
The Bradley Clan and I collaborated on this segment. I thought we ran on a bit longer than I liked, but I kept this in its entirety as it's Mike's return segment and I didn't want to limit him in that regard in terms of making an "impact". My goal with Xion here was merely to remind everyone (in-character) who's in-charge and set up the next match that starts off the Stardom Tag Classic.
Segment #4 - Arrival of Bred for Perfection
Squall Leonhart and I got into a conversation last weekend about the roster needing jobbers to put people over for the sake of storylines. He volunteered to sign up Bred for Perfection to serve that same purpose that I had for the Mega Busters originally. I hope he doesn't fall in love writing these characters like I did with those lovable losers.

Stardom Tag Team Classic - First Round Opener: Match #1: The Bradley Clan (return) def. Bred for Perfection (debut)
First match of two that senorvinnie wrote for this show. I didn't remember until after the results went up that Mike had a preferred choice on who would fight the first match here, so my mistake on that goof-up.
Segment #5 - Senor Vinnie comments on his debut
Vinnie's second segment; this time focusing on following up the success of his win in his Primetime debut.

Stardom Tag Team Classic - First Round Opener: Match #2: "The Iceman" Konrad Raab and "High Spot Hero" Equinox def. "Weapon-23" Ryan Kendrick and Jayson Heagerty
Second match of two that senorvinnie wrote for this show. I saw that KingOfHighSpots was disappointed that Equinox didn't get any action here while "The Iceman" Konrad Raab pretty much worked the bulk of the match. We both apologize in that regard. It wasn't nothing against you or anyone else in this match. I thought the deception by Patrick at the end to feed Squall Leonhart to the sharks was great. Jayson made it clear that much like Casey he wants the World Heavyweight title, so that being in the Machine's favor would benefit him in that goal.
I contacted a lot of people about this via group PM a few weeks ago, but the problem is that EVERYONE seems to want to feud with the Machine but the truth of the matter is that there's just the Enforcers (and my soon-to-be introduced goon squad that's a spoof off of J & J Security in WWE) and Brooklyn's Lily Evol (we'll get to her later) as the primary fighting force for that faction. C'mon, there should be more people defecting over to get in favor with the boss to their own benefit, especially in terms of heels.
Segment #6 - Bobbi discusses Eliza's upcoming match with Crystal Millar
I've mentioned this on multiple occasions. You can send in your promos as an on-air segment for the results. Just notify me of such beforehand. Bobbi Jackson and TheFrosts got this in well in advance before the deadline extension before the holiday for those wondering.
Eliza Frost (w/ Bobbi Jackson & Dominique Frost) def. Crystal Millar (w/ Talia Areano)
The double win-win scenario for the finish here was done to keep this potential rivalry alive between the Frosts and the team of Talia Areano and sarahrichardson. I haven't made the brackets yet, but that would be a good match in and out of the Stardom Tag Team Classic. Just sayin', ladies.
Brother Zachariah def. Chance Justice
This was a rather fun match to write as I wanted to level the playing field to make it like either guy could win, until Brother Zachariah picked up the win at the end. I just didn't want to sell either Superstar short, given the efforts put into the roleplays here.
Lily Evol def. Laura Jackson - Special Referee: Brooklyn Glamorous
❤Rose❤ wanted to have Casey attack Laura Jackson after reading her promo to add to the storyline. With the odds against Laura, I still wanted to continue building towards Laura finally getting her hands on SinCityDollz, but kept getting stopped before she could get her hands on the Glam Star. C'mon the payoff doesn't have to be right away in this feud.

Tornado Tag Team Steel Cage Match - The Enforcers (G-Money Briggs and Dequan Wallace) def. The Mega Busters (Matthew Miles and Psycho Sagus; w/ Ashleigh Cash)
I knew where I wanted to go with this so I didn't want to drag this out too long in terms of the Mega Busters getting their asses kicked royally by the Enforcers. Susie Price personally selected that spot that got rid of Ashleigh as I honestly was going to do a Cage Dive spot with her at one point, but with the Busters not winning it wasn't necessary. Carnage and Squall Leonhart came up with the post-match spots individually so I just combined them, because why not? Gotta show that there's people ready and willing to oppose the Machine.
