PRIME Revolution 204 Feedback

1. The tone for ReVolution 204 was set from the very get go when the return of Hoyt Williams drove the crowd into a frenzy (albeit a venom filled one). He took the roster spot of a young man trying to make it in the big leagues in exchange for curing his father from cancer (As only Hoyt can do, right). Not even five minutes later, Lisa Tyler was told that Lindsay Troy would return. Well, someone else returned later in the night, but it wasn't Lindsay Troy. Unfortunately for PRIME fans, it was Brandon Youngblood conning everybody into believing it was The Queen. With the landscape of PRIME changing, how big of an impact are these two capable of having?


These two can have major impacts on the landscape of PRIME. They're both capable handlers who can write very good to great roleplays and they're usually darn good on the in show work as well. I'm quite excited to see these two characters back. I don't know how Troy will feel about having her name used to get the fans into a frenzy, by Youngblood, but I'd imagine she'll have something to say about that once she returns as well.


My only deal here is that with all the returns here I didn't do a better job of making it clear that Cross was making a return to PRIME as well. I had a feeling I'd better write my own match, to get that across, and I didn't and unfortunately I didnt get that information to the writer either so the announcers went through the start of the show acting as if they had no idea who Cross was. I'll use that to my advantage though cause there is nothing else that can be done about it now.


2. That damn midget. Tony Gamble spent the entire night trying to figure out who his Mystery Opponent would be, asking The Redeemed and being kept in the dark until Hessian showed up. The Murder Show seemed to know who the opponent was, particularly because it was him. Gamble lost his mind and asked for Devin Shakur and Christian Daniels to accompany him down to ringside because his boo boo hadn't healed yet. But it appears The Gamble didn't need anybody to roll off what could easily be Upset of the Year, defeating Hessian clean in the middle of the ring. Having gotten two straight victories in a row, is it safe to say The Grin is back? Could he get back to his PPV Main Eventing ways at some point in the near future with the stockpile of talent at the top?


If John is able to comeback and give his full attention to his writing then yes Gamble will be back to his PPV main eventing ways and that is nothing but a great thing for PRIME. I'm really hoping to see Gamble finally get that big time Universal run that I've always believed he was capable of. The win over Hessian only proves, for certain, that he's more than capable of taking anyone and everyone in PRIME at any time.


3. Jason Snow is never shy about coming out and telling everybody how he feels. He told Kansas to go straight to hell and boasted about finding a contender for the belt, only to reveal an old name from the past in Hank. Kaiser Vashaun wasn't too fond of Snow's antics and came out to throw his name into the hat against The Original Villain, but The Next in Line was denied. He left Snow with a little parting gift (Weight of the World), which had Snow irate later in the night when he was searching for Lisa Tyler. He once again stated Vashaun wouldn't get the Championship shot. Can Snow really avoid Vashaun or will someone else try to take the Dual Champion down?


I really don't think he can avoid Vashaun forever and that's going to be yet another epic showdown when they finally do face off. The real question is that unless Vashaun is the guy who bought the title shot then he's not going to be the only person gunning at Snow right now and that could force Vashaun to have to wait behind someone else. I did love the fact that Kaiser isn't going to simply walk away after their fight. I also loved how arrogant that Snow is that he thinks he can just pick and choose his opponents for his title defenses. The second segment of the night for Snow I thought was the best one though with him being all pissed at Tyler.


4. Hessian suffered a shocking defeat at the hands of Tony Gamble. If that wasn't enough, he found out who his stalker was at the end of the evening, The Man in Black Devin Shakur. Along with The Grin and Biker, Shakur roughed Hessian up and almost left him for dead. He would have been paralyzed if Chainz didn't come down for the save. The Man in Black also made a declaration earlier in the evening, saying he would not renew his contract which expires at the end of the year. Shakur and Hessian are two of the most macabre forces on the roster, maybe the two most evil. How much carnage will these two cause and how many heads are going to roll before they are done with each other?

I have to admit i was surprise to see Hessian lose and I was even more suprised to see that Shakur was the guy after Hessian. I don't know if he's just that crazy or if he's hoping that he wont actually be able to make it till his contract ends in December. It's quite possible that Hessian will be the one ending Shakur by the time it's all over. With all that is going on for Hessian right now he seems like the last person that Shakur should be attempting to make an example of in his whole injuring everyone he can on his way out idea. I'm not sure how many he'll take with him on his way out but I don't like his odds of doing much to anyone on his way out since he picked Hessian.


5. Jay Phoenix came out and appeared to say goodbye to the PRIME fans. Of course, Jason Natas followed a close step behind and told Phoenix to get steppin. Unfortunately, Phoenix had an ace up his sleeve, a classic trick in the annals of wrestling history. It appears Natas said I Quit two times before Phoenix did. Thus, Natas is out of PRIME. A later segment revealed that Phoenix and Tyler aren't at each other's throats like everybody might have expected. Tyler emphasized that Phoenix doesn't owe her anything. Is there going to be something from this strange little relationship?


That was an interesting way to blow the feud off and not have anyone really guess the outcome. I like the little swerve there by Jay. I do hope that it doesn't actually mean we won't see anymore of Natas in PRIME. That's too good a character to see it be gone and done already. As for Tyler and Phoenix...who knows. She says he doesn't owe her anything now but I wouldn't be surprised if she calls on him for his help as the threat of Nelson and his friends becomes stronger and stronger against her.


Wrestler of the Night: Tony Gamble - How could he not be the Wrestler of the Night after taking down the nearly unstoppable Hessian.

Overall Thoughts:

I thought this was a very good show. It had a really nice flow from start to finish and I enjoyed pretty much every single part of the show. The segments were all pretty much high quality and the matches were great. I'd like to thank the writer of my match, for sure, as I thought he did a really nice job of getting both guys over. I appreciated it for sure.
