On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate RetroMania: 9 Which was the best match: main event was great, tls/cj was a rollercoaster What was the most exciting/fun point: thinking Marcus K had won it... What did you like the best about the show: i love the 80s. What surprised you about the show: that I lost. Best segment: crash disguised as optimus prime Best commentary spot:Victor escapes with a kick out to a collective gasp from the Charlotte crowd as we were inches away from crowning new Duo’s Champions! A chant of “THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME!” echoes throughout the arena. *
Markson: THIS IS AWESOME!!!
Hotcakes: Wait, fans didn’t chant this in the eighties.
Best wrestling spot: The crowd goes wild for PUC and Optimus Prime as the robot continues its path toward the ring. The distraction is enough for TLS to wiggle his way out from under the ladder. He begins pushing it as CJ holds on for dear life. TLS manages to tilt it over the top rope as CJ leaps off, his body flying across the air and landing in the crowd. The ladder topples over the top rope and onto the arena floor. Negative thoughts: Personal comments: congrats to the winners.

On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate RetroMania: 9.6
Which was the best match: The main event was pretty exciting.
What was the most exciting/fun point: Everything 80's related that popped up.
What did you like the best about the show: How competitive it was, as every single rp'er showed up and put out great work.
What surprised you about the show: El Diablo Blanco, Jim Caedus, and The Influence
Best segment: I'll go with the Influence return.
Best commentary spot: Markson: THE MALVADOS ARE THUNDERNG UP!!!
Hotcakes: They can’t do that, that is trademarked.
Best wrestling spot: High Times off the cage. I know it wasn't the finisher, but it was the move that made me wince the most lol.
Negative thoughts: Not from me
Personal comments: Really amazing job from every writer. I know some will probably be hurting from losing a close one, but almost every match was surely a nearly impossible choice for our owner. You can tell from the work that was put in on how strong the rp'ing was.
Suggestions: Take a few day's break and everyone recover... except for Terry, you can stay in 1989.

On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate RetroMania: I’m just a simple caveman lawyer, and I admit I have not been reading all the other shows, but I’ll give this one a 10. Seems like everyone enjoyed the card (the feel of it), and that’s all that matters.
Which was the best match: Again, I am not familiar with all the stories going into these matches. But from what I read, the Texas Death Match between Marshall and Vaughn had a ton of emotion in the match and made it my favorite.
What was the most exciting/fun point: All the new/returning/surprising people who got timewarped to the 1980s. All of the references to the 80s were great to see.
What did you like the best about the show: The retro-theme was great. Waiting for the 90s, grunge, and everything xxxxxtreme to dominate next time around.
What surprised you about the show: The lack of run-ins. This was a good surprise. Matches were decided without a lot of shenanigans.
Best segment: The Marshall segment which sold the drama before the match.
Best wrestling spot: Main event three person at the top of the cage.
Negative thoughts: None.
Personal comments: The graphic for the SEX makes me wonder, are they holding hands while banging or is it afterwards? Or something more sinister?
What did you like the best about the show: The retro-theme was great. Waiting for the 90s, grunge, and everything xxxxxtreme to dominate next time around.

On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate RetroMania: 9.75
Which was the best match: There were so many man... What I call the Gettin' Rick Rolled match was so good... The fight for TLS' mask had so much going on... Texas Death Match was so bloody violent, loved it all. Duos was on point and the main event was that despite one point I will address later.... So yeah, can't pick just one, sorry!
What was the most exciting point: RETROMANIA VIDEO GAME!!! Until 999 ruined it... (but OOC, awesome job dude, 10+!)
What was the most fun point: TLS vs. CJ's match was so fun to read... had everything, including Optimus Prime! Very creative match put together by all involved, very entertaining.
What did you like the best about the show: All the 80's aspects of it... Hope we go to the 90's next year.
What surprised you about the show: It's a tie for me... The return of The Influence! But for the record, we beat them too Markson, so we're 1-1. *grumbles* and The return of El 80's WWF superstar rolled into one chimichanga: El Diablo Blanco.
Best segment:
*Z stands over Colton who appears to be lifeless as he lays on the mat. Zolton wipes the blood from his head and then writes a large “Z” on the chest of Colton. *
Markson: OH, THAT IS DISGUSTING!!!
Hotcakes: Hey now, people just weren’t as aware of blood-transmitted diseases in the eighties.
*Z grabs Colton by the hair and drags him to his feet. Colton’s lifeless body would fall if it weren’t leaned against the body of Z. Z takes the rope from Colton’s fist and wraps it around the throat of Colton, tying it in a knot. Z then takes Colton and throws him over the top rope, but Z holds onto the ropes so that Colton doesn’t hit the floor. Z holds onto the rope, essentially hanging Colton. Colton’s legs swing and he comes back to consciousness, clawing at the rope. Colton soon fades again, his body going limp, and his bloody face starting to turn a shade of blue. *
Markson: GOOD LORD!!! GET SOME HELP OUT HERE!!!
Hotcakes: Zolton is going to kill Colton Maxim
*The crowd suddenly switches from hard boos to cheers as “TonTon Macoute" Henri Toussaint comes running down the entranceway with a steel chair in hand. Z pays no attention to the crowd and just watches Colton's body. Toussaint slides into the ring and immediately slams the chair into the back of Z.
Z drops the rope and staggers forward. Z turns around to see Toussaint. Z begins to charge but as he does Toussaint throws the chair right into the race of Z. Z goes down and rolls out of the ring. Security and medical staff surround the ring. The medical staff begins working immediately on Colton while security ushers Z from the ringside. Z slowly walks up the ramp starring at Toussaint the whole time.
Toussaint stands his ground in the ring telling Zolton to “bring it on”, as the scene fades from the commotion to a pre-recorded segment. *
Best commentary spot:
Markson: Up next, we have a match that is surely to be a banger, and will see these former team mates rip into each other.
Hotcakes: The Dream Weavers are exploding, and I can't wait to see Brooke Blakely.
Markson: Can't wait to se her do what?
Hotcakes: Oh, I don't care what she does I just cant wait to look at her.
Best wrestling spot:
Terry grips the baton tighter, lifting it up… and then the weapon falls away, dropping to the stage, as Terry, gasping, deals with the impact of another low blow!!! This one, though, came from behind, as the camera moves… showing Alexander Marshall behind him!!!*
Hotcakes: WHAT THE HELL???
Markson: Alexander just low blowed his own brother!!!!
Negative thoughts: Um, so Marcus was hung to death? Refs didn't check on him after, so dead yeah? lol
Personal comments: I always love Eric's PPV intros, because in keeping in line with our 'family' of federations, he knows what I mean, they set the tone, get you excited for what's to come and he's gotten really good at this. Hats off to you man. I really do love the design of the prestige title, might have MK stick around for that one . Congrats again to him, the match writers and of course the role-players.
