Good commentary from you as usual, the fans getting Sheamus with the "What?!" chants was funny and realistic. I like how you said Rock left because he didn't want to confront Sheamus, that really seems like something he'd say to prove his worth. I also like how Sheamus exaggerated how he dominated both RVD and Rock () Sheamus telling it like it is about how David Vaughn and Evan Bourne are like the same person, I love the amount of RVD mentioned in the Rock and Sheamus promos tbh. Talking about each of your opponents was a cool idea, hopefully Del Rio and Y2J do it too because it's interesting to see what you all have to say. Great promo, it has me torn on who I want to win but it'll make an awesome match.

*A video package airs showing the build up between Randy Orton and Wade Barrett from the recent weeks.*
[JR] We're back folks, Randy Orton and Wade Barrett have had an intense rivalry for weeks now on Breakdown. Which recently led to Wade Barrett, taking Randy Orton's father and unleashing a sick, uncalled for attack. Leaving him in the hospital, fighting for his life.
[King] Indeed, JR. Randy Orton has every right to want revenge. Wade Barrett crossed a line that no man should ever cross when he put his hands on Randy's father.
[JR] Randy Orton has been impressive as of late, with some great victories. But last week he was moments away from defeating Barrett's fellow Corre member, Justin Gabriel, when Wade Barrett interfered causing Randy Orton to lose his focus, which allowed Gabriel to pick up the victory.
[Joey Styles] We now have a very special look at "The Legend Killer"... Randy Orton.
[JR] Very impressive career so far from Randy Orton. And he's looking to further it tonight by adding another Intercontinental title to his record.
[King] But, we can't forget about the dominance of Wade Barrett. Although we might not agree with his actions in recent weeks, Wade has being dominant in his short XWL Career. This man has only ever being pinned once in his singles career in this compnay. Impressive for any man.
[JR] Let's take a special look at that very man, The intercontinental champion... Wade Barrett.
[Joey Styles] Both men have been very impressive in recent weeks, I can't wait for them to finally come face to face.
*A Familiar theme hits across the arena to a surprisingly huge pop from the live audience* *Randy Orton makes his way out the ring with an intense look on his face* *Randy Orton stops before getting into the ring, and poses for the audience* *Orton gets in the ring and gets a microphone from the time keeper* *Chants of "Orton! Orton! Orton" are heard across the arena. Randy Orton stands in the middle of the ring absorbing the reaction before raising the microphone and beginning to speak* [Randy Orton] So, last week once again The Corre used their numbers game to get an advantage over me. I had Gabriel beat, I was on the verge of ending his career. His career flashed before his eyes, everything Gabriel has worked for was fading away in front of him. Then Wade Barrett had to interfere in the match, bringing out the bloodied cast of my father. I know exactly what you are doing, Wade. You are trying to get into my head, because you know you will never beat a fully focused Randy Orton. You've been at the top of your game in recent weeks, defeating many opponents. But you are yet to face someone of my caliber. You see Wade, if we don't happen to face tonight, just like I promised on Breakdown, I will still get my revenge tonight. When you least expect it, The Viper will strike. When you think, you are on top of the world, The Viper will pounce and your world will come crashing down. You wanted to make this personal,Wade. Then you've gotten exactly what you wanted. You've made your point, you've got my attention Wade. Two months ago, at Bad Blood you took away my Intercontinental championship. But that wasn't enough for you Wade, you had to order your lapdog Justin Gabriel to hit his 450 splash on me. I waited and waited for my chance to strike and get my revenge. Then at Sadistic Conquest I saw my moment, you was weakened after going through hell against my former partner Ted Dibiase. So I took my chance, and I hit you with my RKO.
*Chants of " RKO! RKO! RKO!" Get louder and louder throughout the audience*
[Randy Orton] Then it all comes down to... tonight. Taking back my Intercontinental championship is only half of my plans for Wade. Just taking away that title isn't enough for me, I will not stop until your career is... OVER. You are not the only one with a history of putting people on the shelf and ending careers. My punt to the skull is one of the most devastating, career ending moves of all time. And tonight, Wade I guarantee that you will know exactly what it's like to get kicked in the skull. Over recent weeks I've been getting back to my best and when I'm at my best, Nobody in this company can beat me. Tonight Wade, you won't have Gabriel to help you through it, you won't have him to help you beat me. Your worst fear will be realized, you'll be one on one in this ring with me. There'll be no more two on one attacks, there'll be no more attacks from behind. Face to face in this very ring. Tonight, Is about one thing and one thing only, and that is .....
*Randy Orton is cut of by familiar theme, which is followed by huge heat from the audience, as The Corre member, Wade Barrett makes his entrance, stopping at top of the ramp.*
[Wade Barrett] What Randy? What is tonight all about? Is it about Randy Orton once again failing to live up to his name? Or maybe it's about remembering the legendary Cowboy Bob Orton for the man he once was before Justin Gabriel and I beat the holy hell out of him and turned him into nothing more than a bloody pulp, now confined to a hospital bed for the rest of his days?
*Orton is clearly seething at this point and begins to foam at the mouth in anger. He drops his mic and quickly makes a beeline for Barrett.*
*Suddenly, numerous XWL security guards rush out and form a barrier on the ramp blocking Orton's path to Barrett. The crowd roars in disapproval and a "Let them fight!" chant starts. Barrett smirks.*
[Wade Barrett] You really need to get that temper of yours under control. I knew you'd try something irrational which is why XWL have decided to insure one of their biggest matches tonight. Do you really think they would let you attempt to take me out before the huge Gauntlet match tonight? So these guys will be following me around all night long. Such a shame... but your time will come in the Gauntlet match Randy. When you stand in that very ring, face to face with me, with my Intercontinental Championship on the line, you'll get what you wanted. But trust me when I tell you that whatever vision or daydream you have running through that crazy head of yours is wrong. There will be only one outcome and that is Wade Barrett standing tall in victory over your unconscious body.
*Heat again rains down on Barrett. Orton struggles to get past the blockade of security but he his held back.*
[Wade Barrett] But you are right about one thing Randy. Tonight is all about one thing, and one thing only. Tonight is about Wade Barrett. Tonight, I will defeat five top contenders for my Intercontinental title one after the other in a showcase of dominance and skill. I haven't been pinned or submitted since my perfect record was blemished by supernatural powers at the hand of The Undertaker back in February. My one and only loss in singles competition. Tonight, I have the chance to overwrite that blemish with an accomplishment that is unheard of and unprecedented.
[Wade Barrett] And Randy, I don't care if you're the first or the last to run the Gauntlet, we will meet in that ring later on and you'll be sat alongside dear old Bob Orton in a hospital bed in no time. You have my word.
*Randy Orton is seething in anger, doing anything he can to try get past the XWL Security, that is keeping him from his rival, Wade Barrett. Orton continues to push to try and break free past the security but is out numbered by them, and is held back. Wade stands smirking still, which infuriates Orton even more.*
*Orton begins to pace back and forth down the ramp, thinking of a way to get to Wade Barrett. There is no way past the security that Wade Barrett has defending him from The Legend Killer. Orton has tried everything he can to get past the security but Wade is out of his reach. Realizing that Orton can't get to him, Barret walks to the back with a huge grin on his face. Orton just stands on the ramp, looking furious. But you can tell from his face that he knows he may get a chance at revenge tonight.*
*Unforgiven fades to a video package for the Triple Threat match for the United States Championship.*

A very cool touch to the promo by having two custom video packages shown for Wade and Orton, which are very well made might I add. An awesome start to the promo by Gaz, you've really hit your stride as Orton and you're getting better in promos as him every week. Wade of course getting into the head of Orton but he has security to make things better, which really hypes their eventual confrontation seeing how much Orton wants to get to Wade. Wade really showing how determined he is to win the gauntlet, which would really be a huge thing for him. It seems like Barrett has gotten to Orton bigtime which could effect their match, fun co-promo with great parts from the both of you.

***As Unforgiven continues, the Pay-Per-Views logo swipes across the screen, as Mark Lloyd and Kurt Angle are stood by***
Mark Lloyd Ladies and Gentlemen, I am being joined at this time by the man who tonight will go one and one with Muhammad Hassan, and the only Olympian to grace an XWL ring, Kurt Angle
***The crowd cheers for Kurt Angle, as Mark Lloyd waits for the cheers to settle down before he asks Kurt a question***
Mark Lloyd Kurt, tonight you'll step into the ring with the undefeated Muhammad Hassan...
***Kurt Angle cuts Mark off***
Kurt Angle Tonight? Tonight, I'm a man of action. Tonight I beat Muhammad Hassan, not only for myself, but for America. For week Muhammad Hassan has came out, and berated about American's won't accept him in our society, through actions what not of his own, but of his heritage. And because of that he feels that he has the right to come out every single week and insult these people and this great nation, and thanks to his delouded mind, he believes in this warped version of reality, that he's somehow concocted in his mind. And he feels that I've been given a free ride. A free ride in a fancy car, all the way to the top. And everywhere I go people know how I am, and they respect for winning Olympic Gold. And what bugs him? It bugs him that people have respect for my achievements at the 1996 Olympics. He thinks it was easy. Do you think it was easy Mark?
***Kurt looks at Mark, until he uneasily replies***
Mark Lloyd Of course not Kurt.
***Kurt Angle smirks before speaking again***
Kurt Angle You're right Mark, it wasn't easy. I've spent my entire life up to that moment training for the Olympics, and then after I took my training and reapplied it to become the greatest professional wrestler of all time. And there's any doubt of whether or not if I've still got it then just look at what I did to Ted Dibiase on Redemption. Ted's a good kid, and he's got a heck of a future ahead of him, but as of right now, Kurt Angle's got his number, and I should have finished the job a lot sooner than I did.
Mark Lloyd Kurt, its all well and good beating Ted Dibiase, but Hassan is undefeated since his debut in XWL. He's beaten Kane, Sean O'Haire and JTG, aren't you concerned that Kurt Angle could be the fourth name on that growing list?
Kurt Angle Concerned? Why would I be concerned? I'm an Olympic Gold Medallist. I won it with a broken freakin' neck! What's Hassan's three wins compared to that?
***Mark waits for a few seconds, before he goes to speak, but Kurt continues to talk***
It's nothing, that's what. Not just that, but here in XWL, I'm a former United States Champion. A title that I was robbed of. And did I even get a rematch when I returned? No I didn't. Instead they gave my title shot to AJ Styles and Kevin Steen, a man that I've already defeated. And I'm really looking forward to seeing Justin Gabriel getting his ass kicked later tonight, and whoever walks out of that match victorious, they can consider themselves officially on notice, that as soon as I'm done with Muhammad Hassan, Kurt Angle is coming to get his championship back.
Mark Lloyd Well Kurt...
***Kurt interrupts Mark as soon as he begins speaking***
Kurt Angle Now Mark let me ask you a question.
Mark Lloyd Kurt, that's not really how this is supposed to work.
Kurt Angle Who do you think is going to win tonight? Kurt Angle or Muhammad Hassan?
***Mark Lloyd looks at Kurt Angle, before going to reply, before Kurt quickly cuts him off***
Actually why am I even asking? Everybody knows who's going to win tonight. I'm an Olympic Champion, I represented this country, I'm an American Hero, and I’m the personification of red, white and blue. America doesn't need another self-righteous guy with no real accomplishments, what America needs is a man who represents everything Americana stands for, what America needs is a man with three I's.
***Kurt Angle holds three fingers up to the camera, one for each I***
Intensity, Integrity and Intelligence, and you're looking at him. This is my night Mark, this is the night that Kurt Angle puts an end to the short lived story that is Muhammad Hassan.
***Kurt Angle pauses, and nods his head, before continuing to speak***
Some people may look at me, think say I'm cocky, and I say
***The crowd shout "What?!"***
and tonight, I show to world that Kurt Angle can still back it up. Oh it's true, it's damn true.
***Kurt Angle grins, as he leaves the interview area, leaving Mark Lloyd stood there with the microphone, as Unforgiven continues***
Great Kurt Angle promo as I'd expect, your stuff as Angle is always just like him and fun to read. The dream match of Hassan vs Angle should be a good one, Mark Lloyd is such a badass btw. Kurt seems determined as he heads into his match to finally (and hopefully) shut up Hassan. I like how you're still tying in Kurts long term goal of re-gaining the United States title while keeping things in check talking about Hassan, awesome Kurt promo as expected.

First off, great job here by whoever made it, i believe it was Gaz? Amazing video package here hyping all the feuds nicely. I have said for a while that ppv's should have a video and/or theme to go with them, add the commentary in and it does well in getting everyone excited for the matches
Punk Promo
Wow, outstanding job here Shuggz, always been a fan of your Punk promos because you play the character so well, like a few people have said, what makes a great promo is when you can hear the superstars voice saying it as you read it. You've set the standard for yourself now because this is your best imo and now you'll have to top it every week keep up the great work
Daniels Promo
Short, but like someone mentioned, very intense. Great writing here and he really comes across as pissed which just hypes up your match later even more. You are getting better and better and your promos are always solid, my only suggestion is that you take more time for them if possible, i know some people are busy and thats fine but longer promos from you would be excellent
The Rock Promo
Damn that guys awesome, perfect promo tbh
Sheamus Promo
The fun begins nice use of commentary to start off with which i'm guessing was added last minute because you had just read mine, good job there. Nice rebuttal straight after my promo, using the crowd was a nice touch and the explanation of why you left Bourne was nicely done. Also had a good laugh at calling David and Bourne the same. Then you done what I did and ran down the list of opponents and it was excellent, like Adam said, i'm hoping Rene and Seme do that aswell to really hype the match and set the tone on just how big this is. Awesome job as usual on the promo and i expect nothing less Keep it up
Randy Orton/Wade Barrett Promo
Awesome promo from start to finished, the formatting was excellent, started off with a real professional feel by using video packages from both men which were nicely put together btw. The images used were perfect aswell with Barrett using security to really get under his skin, Orton is pissed and ready to rip him apart. Writing was top quality from both men, Orton promos are getting better each time and more like him. Wades parts were spot on as usual but writing won't win him this match, can he run the gauntlet?..........well yes probably but try to act surprised
United states title video package
Wow, great video here. Got me really wanting to see this match. Top stuff, two questions, who made it? and what song is that again? It's familiar.
Kurt Angle Promo
Once again Bang, another awesome promo from you as Angle, you just play him so well and i can hear everything you write being said. Well written all round and you do a good job of looking into the future aswell for your US title plans. Keep up the great work and good luck in ending the streak.

[[King:]] Well isn't this surprising. The Hack Break Kid making an appearance!
[[Joey:]] HBK obviously wants to entertain the fans here in the Staples Center, the greatest fans of the greatest wrestling league in the world, THE XWL UNIVERSE!
*Michaels comes out on the stage, with a vintage strut*
*Michaels continues walking down the aisle, stopping to slap the hands of his fans a few times.*
[[HBK:]] Hello, Los Angeles, California!
*The crowd cheers for HBK's cheap pop.*
[[HBK:]] You see, tonight ladies and gentlemen, The Heartbreak Kid is in action here at Unforgiven!
*The crowd cheers wildly, they obviously want to watch HBK beat The Dashing One.*
*HBK looks down, trying to keep calm, knowing in a few short moments, he'll face his rival, Cody Rhodes.*
[[HBK:]] You see, I go one on one with Cody Rhodes tonight. A young, arrogant punk, who's mooching off his daddy's name, and trying to make himself a star based off some stupid poll of the WWE Divas, which he probably made up. Because there's only one original Sexy Boy, and that's me, The Showstopper!
*The fans, ladies especially, cheer for HBK.*
[[HBK:]] There's only one "Heart Break Kid", the original ladies man of XWL, SHAWN MICHAELS!
*The fans cheer and chant: "HBK!"*
[[HBK:]] So now, looking back on the last three weeks where I've been screwed out of title shots, destroyed by some CLB when I wasn't anywhere near 100%, and been attacked with trashcans...it was all worth it. Because now, I can finally get my hands on that dashing son of a bitch!
[[HBK:]] Cody Rhodes, I know...I know you're watching. You're sitting there putting on your face cream, or cleaning your fingernails, or putting cucumber over your eyes like a prissy little girl. There's a little saying I want to tell you, boy...And that's...
*Michaels pauses as the crowd cheers.*
[[HBK:]] My favorite part...was when Cody Rhodes...got superkicked.
*Michaels tosses the mic down, and walks up the ramp.*

Subject: Re: XWL Unforgiven: 6/19/2011 - 6/26/2011 Tue Jun 21, 2011 12:00 am
Joey Styles: My my my what a very interesting start for Unforgiven we have had...From CM Punk to Sheamus to Kurt Angle and even Randy Orton and Wade Barrett we have heard a lot of talk regarding tonights matches. But can they back up their words?
King: Well it definitely has been an unusually verbal start to this PPV but can you blame them? We've got quite possibly our biggest show to date and that has our men and women more excited than ever so they can barely keep their thoughts to themselves!
JR: That's an interesting perspective you've got there King and I kind of agree. The Rock is excited, Sheamus is excited, and they should be because tonight in our main-event they will have a huge opportunity to become XWL World Heavyweight Champion!
Joey Styles: But enough talk ladies and gentlemen, because our first match is up next and we're kicking off the show with a bang!
King: Shad returned to XWL last week on Breakdown and laid out a challenge that couldn't be denied due to the rules of the X-treme Championship. Evan Bourne must defend his title tonight against Shad and these two aren't strangers to one another that's for sure.
JR: They last collided over a year and a half ago for Evan Bourne's United States Championship. While Shad may have gotten a cheap shot or two in by assaulting Evan backstage it wasn't enough to topple the gutsy champion that Evan was beginning to become.
Joey Styles: But that was then and in just a little while we will see if Evan still has Shad's number, or if the brutal bruiser Shad Gaspard has picked up a trick or two since his absence.
King: Honestly anyone could and will beat Bourne tonight. This man was destroyed in front of our very eyes on Breakdown there's no way he can possibly be in physical condition to endure what an extreme rules match brings.
JR: I wouldn't count him out but I agree it will be hard, but not impossible. Evan vowed to one up RVD by doing what he did at Final Stand III but better...Can he live up to those words and retain his title like Rob did, and win the money in the bank briefcase from him?
.......
..............
..............................
...........................................
Evan Bourne's theme sounds and the crowd loudly boo him as he holds his ribs in pain clearly taking a lot of damage from that very high risk dive.
JR: Bah Gawd! Evan certainly did show tonight why he is the X-treme Champion.
King: I'll admit that was wise on Evan's part to target the big man's legs for most of the match and even wiser to basically snap his leg out of place before attempting the shooting star press for a second time through a table. He crashed and burned the first attempt and while I find it stupid to try it again I'll give him that much that it was impressive.
Joey Styles: Can Evan do it guys? Can he defeat RVD for the third time and walk away Mr. Money In The Bank?
JR: That's a tough call that's for certain. Both men in that ladder match will put on a spectacle for us all to see and you can bet your last dollar that they will use ladders in ways we may not even think they can be used.
The referee hand's Bourne his title and he raises his arms up then he yells "I'm still the champion!!!" the fans continue to boo him but he ignores it and rolls out of the ring as the referee begins to check on Shad after that brutal crash through the table from Bourne. Evan begins to head up the ramp with his title dragging along the flooring and a grin across his face.

Subject: Re: XWL Unforgiven: 6/19/2011 - 6/26/2011 Tue Jun 21, 2011 3:04 am
As the camera goes around shots of the sold out crowd here in the XWL arena live from LA a few moments pass before AJ is shown on the titantron and he appears to be on the phone to someone.
[AJ Styles] Hey look I’m sorry of what happened last week I really didn’t expect him to do that…..yes I know what he did and I mean I gotta’ give Steen credit for a man who only thinks about cake it was smart. But look…….yes…….ok…….tonight I’ll take care of him. He made things personal last week and I am going to make sure and don’t you worry because this is not a threat this is a god damn promise…I’m going to shove my foot so far in this mouth he’s going to be pissin’ my goddamn shoelaces for a month…..yeah…..ok…….look you get some rest, I gotta’ go out to the ring and clear a few things up, I’ll come visit you in the hospital when I win my title.
[Jim Ross] Bah Gawd, was that his brother in law he was on the phone too? I’m surprised he is able to talk after the beating Kevin Steen gave him. That man is just sick and to be honest I can’t wait for AJ to get some revenge here tonight.
[Jerry Lawler] Oh don’t give me such crap. Kevin Steen is smart. He thought on his feet and outsmarted AJ. I mean he was able to get inside the head of AJ and get an advantage without even laying a hand on him. It was great! Personally I can’t wait to see Steen walk out of here with that Championship around his waist.
[Jim Ross] Please King give it a rest will you? Besides if Steen even did win the belt it wouldn’t fit round his waist anyway! AJ has suffered beatdown after beatdown by this man and tonight AJ will get retribution and also the United States Championship.
[Joey Styles] Look you guys are both wrong. We all saw the way Gabriel is playing this match, he is going to watch AJ and Steen practically kill each other then come in and retain his title.
Before the commentators get a chance to speak AJ’s theme blasts out of the PA system and around the arena. The sold out crowd here cheering as AJ comes onto the ramp and strikes his signature pose. He walks down to the ring shaking hands and hi-5’ing spectators on the front row. He jumps onto the top of the steel steps and gets into the ring before asking for a mic from Justin Roberts. He hands AJ the mic and leaves the ring before AJ begins to talk.
[AJ Styles] Last week Steen took things too far. I mean he went out and abducted my brother in law. That man had been away travelling for the past 5 years and that was his first night back in the states. Now look, he is going to be in hospital for the next 5-6 weeks. Steen, it’s one thing get yourself disqualified, heck it didn’t really bother me when you got your little bitch Steve Corino to come out and help you beat me down either, but when you laid your hands on one of my family, you crossed the line! My wife, my kids there all traumatised! So now, you’re going to pay.
[AJ Styles] Now I’ve made a promise. I made this to my wife, I made this to Antony heck I even made this to myself. I will not quit, I will not give up until I have this United States title and if you think your going to be walking away with it tonight Steen don’t go counting your chickens so soon because your going to see a new AJ Styles, a new AJ Styles who dosen’t take crap from anyone! A new AJ Styles who will do whatever it takes to get the win. A new AJ Styles who is even more sadistic than you Steen.
[AJ Styles] Now Steen all who was destined to be was a indy wrestler. You was never good enough to be fighting with the big boys. I mean seriously you’re wrestling skills are mediocre at best. Now, back in the day a year or so ago I was in a little wrestling company called “Total Nonstop Action” or “Impact Wrestling” I think it’s called now. When I was there I was called “The personification of total nonstop action.” TNA is the place which made me phenomenal. At that company I had done it all. I beat some of the best superstars to step into the squared circle, I won every title, I am the only grandslam champion that company has ever seen! Hell I was the face of TNA.
[AJ Styles] Now when you accomplish so much and look back you begin to wonder…..What more can I do here?.....Is it time to move on? So you can kinda tell what I did, I decided to move on to another company in the hope I could accomplish more and become an even greater superstar. I’ve been in this company for almost a year and in this time I have never won a title. The most I’ve done is pick fights and get injured but that’s all going to change tonight. AJ Styles’ path to greatness in XWL begins tonight. Gabriel….Steen I hope you both are listening because I don’t care what I have to do or who I have to pin. After tonight I am going to be the new United States Champion because I am truly Phenomenal.
[AJ Styles] Tonights match is no holds barred. That means anything goes. You both are going to see a new side of AJ Styles. I bet you both just think I’m some sily little redneck who enjoys pleasing the fans but I will take some risks, I will perform moves only I can do right here tonight and I can guarantee both of you two will be needed to go to the hospital just like Antony is right now. When I win the title tonight I’m going straight out of the arena, straight back to the hospital and I’m dedicating this for him, he did’nt deserve what happened to him he was just an innocent man so tonight I’m going to live up to our brands name. Tonight is all about Redemption.
AJ drops the mic and heads back to the locker room area as his music blasts through the PA system one more time.

The Rock Promo
Vintage Rock is all I can say Was a great promo had me laughing as your promos always do. Nice running down each opponent for tonight's main-event and providing some lulzy comments to fit with each person. Casper the friendly ghost had me lol and when I do that early in the morning you know you've done a great job
Awesome work though and I really do look forward to seeing how this all plays out tonight and can't wait to hear from Alberto and Chris Jericho as well on your comments about them.
Sheamus Promo
I liked how you began your promo by having the commentators play up what The Rock said it's a nice flowing format that can never go wrong. Great beginning dialogue by having the what sequence and then explaining why you did what you did on Breakdown. One error though Bourne screwed you at Bad Blood
But anyways the rest was top notch stuff running down your opponents for tonight and explaining how you've been at this for months trying to regain it and tonight that all ends. Also lol'd at Evan and David Vaughn being one in the same
But great promo and like I said for Rock's promo review I look forward to this match and the outcome.
Randy Orton & Wade Barrett Promo
Much like Sheamus you start this off with commentary and it's a great addition by playing up whats been occurring between Wade and Orton including the sickening attack by Wade to Orton's father and Orton's streak as of late being ended last week by Gabriel. Nice touch having video packages for both men play it's a unique approach and it hypes up both men. Just gotta say I love the usage of pictures, I personally feel there can never be too many pictures in a promo because they turn text in visuals.
Great stuff from Orton about what happened on Breakdown and then we have Wade interrupt . Great lines from Wade hyping the gauntlet match and toying with Orton to make him even more frustrated. I also love the use of pictures for this portion again great choices by both men. All in all loved the promo and it has me hyped to see this gauntlet now even more
BTW can't review the video package for the U.S title match because it keeps lagging and skipping so
Kurt Angle Interview
Good interview starting off talking about your match with Hassan and even mentioning your Olympic gold medal. Then you get into your match on Redemption with Ted, you explain you've still got it by bringing up how it wasn't exactly a hard match but you also remain respectful and praise Ted
Great bringing up Hassan's undefeated streak and Kurt pretty much squashing that by you again bringing up the gold medal and how you won it with a broken neck. Interesting to see what happens after tonight since you brought up how you never got a rematch for your title so that should be interesting to see how that all plays out. Good luck tonight and I'm probably a broken record by now but I look forward to this match between you two as well.
F Me Another Prom- I mean Shawn Michaels
Good usage of pictures I can remember a time where promos never had pictures ...Just makes me sad thinking about it. Well it's a short promo but nice none the less. You could have perhaps spoken more and played up your rivalry more but what you did was good. Insulting Cody and mentioning him screwing you out of becoming X-treme Champion. Nice effort just personally would've liked it to be a little longer perhaps.
AJ Styles Promo
Nice beginning with AJ on the phone with his brother in law getting an update on him after what Steen did to him great follow up from that event. While the commentators were talking AJ was on his way to the ring and then grabs a microphone to address the crowd and by the way again love the usage of pictures. Interesting to hear what AJ has to say including a "New" AJ Styles and a more "Sadistic" side of yourself even more than your rival Steen's.
Was an awesome promo though it hypes your match tonight, it plays up what happened last week with your family and bringing them up. It's something that adds a bit of uniqueness to it by the feud becoming more personal now than it was before. And for like the million time I will say I can't wait to see this U.S title match and more importantly I can't wait to see who walks out the United States Champion.
My god...I'm finished....

Tyson goes backstage after his victory and is shown walking backstage, tired after his hectic match with Chavo Guerrero. Tyson leans against a wall and takes a few deep breaths, his signs obviously showing Chavo is no pushover. He looks over at the camera as Josh Matthews emerges from behind it, standing next to Tyson, obviously wanting an interview.
King:Oh great, what's this smug little runt gonna say now?
JR:Now come on King, even you have to admit he put on an impressive showing against such a decorated veteran as Chavo Guerrero.
Josh: Tyson, you have just come back from the ring to here after an impressive showing tonight, knocking off none other than Chavo Guerrero. Now, you and Chavo have recently had some serious issues, and I was wondering if I could get your thoughts on your match tonight.
Tyson looks up at the ceiling and lets out an exasperated sigh, before a smile comes across his face and he chuckles. He pats Josh on the back, obviously happy about the situation. Although, there aren't many other things he could be feeling.
Tyson: Trust me when I say this Josh, I have been waiting for tonight for a VERY long time. All I've seen Chavo do over the past few weeks is run his mouth about how great Chavo Guerrero is. And I'll give the guy credit, he's done a lot, and when I told him to bring it, he took his ass all the way here, in sunny LA, California...
The crowd pop at the mention of their hometown. Tyson smirks when he hears the reaction, and continues his answer.
Tyson:And when I told him to bring it, he most definetley did. I don't know if you saw it out there, but I went out, wrestled a Guerrero, which ain't no easy feat, and I made him give up on a match. That's it now, I'm absolutely positive I'm going places. I've beaten Triple H, Edge, and now Chavo Guerrero. If anyone doubted me before, they'll be cheering me and chanting my name now.
Tyson reaches over to a green crate lieing next to him, where a water bottle sits on top of it. He grabs it and takes a large swig of it, and while he takes his refresing drink, Matthews asks yet another question.
Josh:Tyson, last time we talked, you said your next goal would be the United States Championship. Tonight, this title is contested between Justin Gabriel, AJ Styles, and Kevin Steen. Is the United States Championship still your goal, and can we get your thoughts on that matchup?
Tyson takes his last swig of water before taking a refreshed breath and screwing the lid back on. He thumps his chest once and places it back on the box, before talking to Josh, not looking at him, since he starts unwrapping his hand tape.
Tyson:Well I gotta say that, yeah, the United States title is still my ultimate goal for now. I'm gonna get through what I need to get through, and I don't think I need to prove anymore to management or to the rest of the locker room that I'm a serious contender, I've pinned former WORLD champions. As for that match, I have to say, that's one of the ones I'm most looking forward to. We got 3 of the most phenomenal athletes in that match, Steen's got the power, AJ's got his speed and agility, but Justin's no joke, the man's resourceful. He doesn't just have a pretty looking 450 Splash either, he's got a big english friend ready to squash you and a very sharp intellect. So, I gotta give it to him retaining. The other two guys are great, but I think they'll be way too focused on each other and he'll capitalise.
Josh: Tyson, you talked about how you've defeated former World champions, and we could see a new one crowned tonight, in our main event of the evening, with Alberto Del Rio, the Rock, Sheamus, and current defending World Heavweight Champion Chris Jericho going at it. This is an elimination match, so can we get your thoughts on that as well?
Tyson:Well, uh...damn, that one's gonna be close. We got Alberto, that sneaky little weasel, who can slap on that Cross Armbreaker at any time. The man's good in the ring and he's smart. The Rock of all people, the People's Champion, is gonna be in that match. He's tasted gold before, and I got no doubt that he wants it back. He's been in this industry for so long, and he's a 3rd generation superstar, this is in his blood. Speaking of blood, there's a man of Irish blood in there too, Sheamus. The man's a brute, there's no way around it. Did you see what he did to Bourne on Breakdown? Did you see what he did to that referee? The guy goes out of his way to end careers, you say the wrong word, and he snaps. He's definetely gonna be a force in this match. And then, I'll finish with Chris. Chris Jericho, Y2J, The Ayatollah of Rock and Rollah. My fellow Canadian, and I hear he likes ham sandwiches. That guy's a legend in this business, in this company, and all across the world, people know Chris Jericho. I definetely wanna see what he pulls out of his hat tonight. If you want my prediction though, Rocky all the way. The man has sucked it up on a championship level before, and I know he can do it again. So yeah, I got places to be man, thanks for the talk, but I'll see you later.
Josh:Thanks for your time.
Tyson points at him in a friendly manner with a chuckle and walks down a corridor. He turns the corner and we hear a door open and shut, as Unforgiven goes to the next segment.

Joey Styles: Well it's time for us to find out who has accepted this challenge. The seems to be in a confident mood based on his swagger about him tonight but is he prepared for the unpredictability an open challenge can bring?
JR: He seemed like he was on the rise to the top based on this challenge and if he can overcome it then he will obviously be on the right track. I just wonder who has accepted, if anyone has that is.
King: Could you imagine if no one wanted to accept because they don't wanna catch Miz's failure disease?
Joey Styles: That doesn't really make sense but okay....
The Miz stands around in the ring yelling at the stage for whoever it is to come out...
Joey Styles: Wow!! XWL's very own Pope, D'angelo Dinero has accepted his challenge! I bet Miz wasn't expecting him, or anyone from Breakdown for that matter.
King: D'angelo returned a few weeks ago and was scheduled to compete last week but for whatever reason didn't. So this certainly should be an interesting first match back for Pope.
JR: Will The Miz be able to defeat him? I mean surely ring rust will play a factor in some way...

*XWL Cameras fade to backstage where Josh Matthews is seen standing in the interview area.*
[Josh Matthews] "Hello Everyone, I hope you are enjoying Unforgiven so far. Now joining me at this time. Los Angeles, California's own.... JOHN MORRISON!"
*The crowd erupts in a chorus of cheers as the name John Morrison is mentioned. Cameras zoom out to revel John Morrison himself, who has a big smile on his face. Morrison continues to smile as Josh begins to speak.*
[Josh Matthews] "First of John, how does it feel to be here at Unforgiven, in your hometown of Los Angeles, California?"
*Josh moves the microphone to in front of Morrison.*
[John Morrison] "Honestly Josh, I've got a lot of thoughts running through my head."
*John takes off his sunglasses.*
"First off, we are here in the gorgeous city of L.A. Now before the show, I decided to do some sight seeing here in Los Angeles. You'd be suprised at all the places you can visit and all the things you can see. I mean, one thing L.A. is known for is the 'Hollywood Sign' that sits perched on the side of a cliff. After 88 years it still stands. That is just one of the many reasons why I am proud to say this is my own town. Because it has history."
[John Morrison] "Now speaking of history, I will make history tonight that i know, will be remembered. Now, Steel Cages don't come to XWL often and when they do, they are a match to be remembered. After my Cage match with Edge, I will make some memories that Edge won't soon forget. Those memories, will hopefully remind Edge not to pick a fight with John Morrison again. I KNOW I have what it takes to defeat Edge. History proves, I have what it takes to beat Edge. Just take a look here."
*Morrison points to the TV behind him. A clip from Sadistic Conquest is played showing John Morrison hitting the Starship Pain on Edge and covering him for the 1... 2... 3... We return to the interview are as Morrison begins to talk again.*
"That right there, proves I have what it takes to beat Edge."
*Morrison leaves the view of the camera and the cameras fade to the arena.*

A wave of boo's sound from the crowd at the site of Drew McIntyre standing backstage, the displeasure from the fans causes a small smirk to emerge on his face
Josh Mathews: Please welcome my guest at this time, Drew McIntyre. Have you been enjoying the ppv so far Drew?
Drew:.....Cute, you actually think I have been wasting my time watching this joke of a ppv? Drew McIntyre isn't even in the main event! I mean come on, what concern is it of mine how Shad does? Or if Wade runs the gaunlet? The only thing on my mind tonight is the fall of Captain Crazy, Christian and his best friend, what did he call it again? Mr.Chair?! The guy is a nut and the sooner he is gone from this business the better and later on I can guarantee that I will make him leave on a stretcher.
Josh Mathews: But Drew? Tonight you are in a chairs match, a weapon that Christian helped revolutionize by making it his signature. Aren't you the slightest bit worried about what he could do to you tonight?
Drew: Please tell me you are joking? If you're serious then you may aswell jump off a bridge because you do not have a clue what you are talking about! Didn't you see what I done to Christian last week? I damn near broke his ribs and I would have had I not needed him here tonight. Once I step between those ropes everything intesifys, I become stronger, I become quicker and maybe most importantly of all I become smarter. In that ring Drew McIntyre is the perfect rutheless package! I will do things in there tonight that you have never seen! Each move I make is cold and calculated, I ensure that the outcome will favour me and cause unimaginable pain on my opponent.
Josh Mathews: You seem confident going into this match, thats for sure. Is there anychance you could give me your thoughts on tonights main event before you leave?
Drew: Why shouldn't I be confident? Christian doesn't stand a chance. The main event? Who is participating?
Josh Mathews: Surely you aren't serious? The World Heavyweight Championship match between Chris Jericho, The Rock, Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio?
Drew: Sorry, doesn't ring a bell. Why should I care about that senseless drivle? Chris Jericho and The Rock are nothing but a bunch of old men trying to hopelessly cling onto their prime, they make jokes and try to turn every episode of Breakdown and Redemption into a damn comedy show. Alberto Del Rio is technically sound but the man is a coward, absolute zero honour and even less respect in my eyes. Now Sheamus is an interesting one, I actually kinda like him. As a fellow representitive of Europe this man brings a lot to the table, he's big, he's strong and he's smart. He doesn't play any daft mind games with his opponent, he just crushes them! Does this mean he should be in that match instead of me? No, I am everything he is times a thousand. But if I had to put my money on a winner, it would be Sheamus.
Josh trys to ask him another question but Drew quickly shoots him an intense glare that screams, "we're done here and if you open your mouth any further, i will snap you in half" smartly Josh keeps quite as Unforgiven cuts to a commercial

Sin Cara Vs Sean O'Haire
First off I'm glad Cara kind of got most of the control in the beginning because it shows his speed was too much for O'Haire to handle which would be realistic if this happened in real life. I love the fairness displayed by both men some nice counters by O'Haire countering Cara's corner top rope finisher. And I love how you ran off the ropes to do the first La Mistica. And when you countered him catching your gut kick into a flip into La Mistica I loved that as well.
One thing I didn't like is that O'Haire seemed to get a little frustrated by Cara's early control that he would like run at Cara before grappling. It's a minor issue since it wasn't like HUGE waiting but I personally don't care for any form of delay and all unless it's to position yourself for a weapon spot. But still was nice to see O'Haire take control with some cool moves like catching the rebounding off corner Sin Cara with a clothesline. I was also pleased to see you both let each other up and back away after a finisher.
Nice ending seeing Cara finally get to pull off the corner finisher but um I'm not familiar with his moves but has he done the Cyclorama? Either way a nice match between two guys in their first PPV match here and I honestly hope you guys continue this feud. The promos leading up have been unique but well written and for guys in their first feud here it has been pretty good so I look forward to it hopefully continuing.
Tyson Kidd Vs Chavo Guerrero
First off nice attires from both, I especially love Chavo's it's just really slick looking. Nice exchange between you guys, some reversals here and there. Some small points I liked was when Tyson locked in the sharpshooter for the first time and it got rope break you didn't keep the hold locked in. Like a true face you broke it which is nice to see in matches when you keep true to your character.
Lol'd at Chavo botching an outside dive earlier, and then he botched it again minutes later taunts it off tries another form of it but Tyson evades it and poor Chavo goes SPLAT! Just a good match between you guys, some basic reversals but sometimes it's just nice to see a basic match but it could have used something extra just don't know what... Anyways congrats to Tyson on the victory and should be interesting to see where you go from here.
Tyson Post Match Promo
You know it's amazing how far you've come Bronz, no lie. Like when you first got here you were just basic, kind of bland ( Wait for the compliment, this isn't an insult) but as the weeks have gone on you've really become something some may not have expected. Your promos are getting so much better, you're building Kidd's face character in a very well done way and it's just great to see your short evolution since joining XWL. This I think was by far your best promo you have done as Tyson. It had a nice setting for the promo, you had Kidd be respectful of his fallen opponent, you had little small details that made the promo visual. It just all flowed so well in my opinion.
I like that you brought up your big victories, and then brought up what we could see you doing next which would be challenging for the U.S title. Was great to see you hyping that match and the participants in their own way and mentioning how you feel Gabriel will retain because of Steen and AJ's hatred for one another is a very wise and good point. I also liked how you had him hype the main-event up and praise all involved.
All in all by far your best promo to date. The small commentary at the beginning was nice and I'm really proud of you for taking notice of comments given to you and using them such as longer promos, colors and other things.
The Miz's Open Challenge
I won't review the commentary or the split up of the entrances to add more hype to it since that was all me
So The Pope makes his one on one return at Unforgiven by accepting The Miz's challenge, this should be interesting. Was a good match with some good reversals, Pope basically shows no rust whatsoever and defeats Miz in 18 minutes flat. Liked some of the back and forth reversals even if there weren't many of those and nice win for Bang.
John Morrison Interview
Good little interview with great usage of gifs and all. Like that you had the fans pop for the hometown superstar and bringing up how LA is famous for history then you follow that up by basically saying tonight will be a night to remember in the steel cage match. Following that then up by him claiming he knows he can beat him because of what happened last month was also nice. All in all it was a nice promo but you really could have made something awesome if you kept going.
I felt like you ended it too soon and perhaps could have brought up some other things or mentioned some more things about Edge. But still nice short interview hyping your match.
Drew McIntyre Interview
Awesome interview with Drew it's really nice to see how you're giving Drew a nice heelish character that he hasn't had before you picked him up. Insulting the show and naming names was a nice approach and also hyping your match with Christian. Talking about how you transition when you step into that ring and hyping yourself up was nice a very nice touch there. Then and this is becoming a trend which I oddly like you talk about the main-event in some form but you add your own twist by insulting it and claiming since you're not in it you don't care really also was cool.
But good job on the interview and I can't wait to read the results of your match with Christian and perhaps hear some comments about what you've said.

It's the closet you can get to his top rope C4, I believe.

Ah well that's okay then since the closest I can get to my Swan Dive DDT was that extra spin DDT and no one has said anything about that.

) Sheamus telling it like it is about how David Vaughn and Evan Bourne are like the same person, I love the amount of RVD mentioned in the Rock and Sheamus promos tbh. Talking about each of your opponents was a cool idea, hopefully Del Rio and Y2J do it too because it's interesting to see what you all have to say. Great promo, it has me torn on who I want to win but it'll make an awesome match.
Was a great promo had me laughing as your promos always do. Nice running down each opponent for tonight's main-event and providing some lulzy comments to fit with each person. Casper the friendly ghost had me lol and when I do that early in the morning you know you've done a great job
