Score out of 10: 9. And that's only because of a couple of very, very minor quibbles, or it could have gone to a ten.
Star of the Night: Rob Riot. OK, fine, not Rob Riot. Frank Windsor. Or the new Greg Salazar looking resplendent in defeat.
Match of the Night: That can't be anything other than Riot vs Oni. With the boat rocking it played out like a movie in my brain.
Segment of the Night: I laughed at the sheer cheek of Val using her segment to remind RJ to update the stables bio for Future Shock Society. The closing segment felt awesome. One or two more segments would have been a factor in lifting this up to a ten, but the staff can't do anything about that - that's got to come from us. OH and the Windsor segment, which planted a lot of seeds.
Spot of the Night: The vomit spot. I have seen many things in e-fedding, but never that.
Notes/Thoughts: The build for this show called for "epic," and epic is what we got. My congratulations to every match writer and staff member for getting this beast out - expectations were high, and you reached them. The standard of graphics is noticeably better between this show and the last as well, I liked the event-specific motifs and the consistent look. Those little things helped a lot. I don't think we needed to go as long as we did in cases where there were no-shows - that would have reduced the demand on the writers - and I'm still not sure whether I'm supposed to be reading anything into what's going on with the referees or not. I appreciate a good Leroy Jenkins reference as much as anyone, but I'm not clear on what went down with referee Leroy at this show. Maybe I'm just not paying enough attention to stuff, in which case it's my bad. These are very minor quibbles though - the show was awesome and the fed feels hot right now. Let's see how much hotter we can make it.

What can I say. It was an amazing show with some unexpected twists and results like Eron Hunter losing to Von Krauss, Oni losing to Riot, and Ravenna to Frank, unable to make a perfect Valor run.
Valora is now Elite Championess and to be honest, there was no other way, kudos to her. Although I have to say that especially Iro Waters and Eddie Samo did good job, too.
The few segments were top-notch, like Valora's one again and Iro Waters in von Krauss' office. I didn't expect Frank Windsor to make such a strong message relating to Valo(u)r Championship, leaving a lot of potential to use in future. I'm starting to think that Frank might be actually a perfect candidate for this.
The matches are damn good and PPV-worthy. I like the creative ways how to handle different situations (for example as Riot already said the vomit bucket). The idea where Kintaru and Billy were already brawling backstage and get cancelled because they broke in Armand's office is a good idea to solve a no-show match.
DemoniK vanishing from casket is nothing new but perfect fit for that sinister thing with Wendi.
The structure of the whole PPV was clear and straight which I really like because it makes the whole thing a easy read despite of the length. The two-part publication didn't bother me at all - I don't mind doing it again with future PPVs.
Like other people here, I agree that graphics and layouts are superb, though I have a minor issue - I'd like to see championship belts on the match-up banners, too, to clarify the title matches. Is that possible?
Except for some unfortunate no-shows and poor performance of me regarding TAC, everyone did their best to make the Naval Warfare the whole. Kudos for everyone and special thanks to the staff stemming the huge thing without much delay!

Score out of 10: ... 9 out of 10 easily. much like Riot said there were just a few small things that prevented this from being a perfect 10 out of 10 but overall, this show was what I as a wrestling fan would expect from a Pay per view.
Star of the Night: ... There are a lot of candidates for this and as I can't pick just one, I'll give my top 3. Rob Riot, Frank Windsor, Greg Salazaar. Firstly, Frank Windsor ended the very dominant and amazing run Ravenna had as Valor champion and deserves a ton of credit for that. Then you have Rob Riot and Tetsu setting the bar for what a pay per view main event is supposed to be, and then as if an amazing match isn't enough we see Tetsu reveal himself to be Greg Salazaar and further signs of dissension in camp Bastard as Valora and her team come down to ringside but refuse to get into the ring and celebrate with the Bastards. A great segment all around and I'm honored RJ asked to include my characters in such an epic moment.
Match of the Night: ... Main event no question. Which is as it should be at a pay per view.
Segment of the Night: ... The segment covering up for the double no show of Billy Fowler and Kintaru. This was actually something I never have really seen before in dealing with no shows in a way that doesn't punish the writers and keeps a storyline going.
Spot of the Night: ... The vomit bucket. I know I'm voting for my own writing here, but the fact that others agree with me says that it was a good decision to showcase that Val ain't kidding when she says she will do what it takes to win. Even throw vomit in a wrestlers face
Notes/Thoughts: ... There was a lot on the line coming into this pay per view. The Bastards vs. the Future Shock Society. Valora the newcomer getting involved, the budding rivalry between Valora and Iro Waters. A card full of title matches, personal vendettas. There was a lot on the line and every match felt like it was important, which again is what I expect and demand out of a pay per view card. The show being on a boat and the way that came into play was brilliant. From seasick commentators to the cruise ship hitting rough seas, forcing the wrestlers to adapt to a ground that was constantly moving and shifting beneath their feet.. The clever use of environment aka the pool at ringside.. A lot of feds would have said they were on a cruise ship and then treated it like a normal arena..
But we didn't get that here, from roleplays showcasing the packed in nature of a cruise ship to clever use of environment and setting from the match writers.. this show was amazing.
