Journeyman’s Cup Episode 3
Was a blast! We saw Matthew Caulder ‘s Razor return from beyond the grave as Scythe, a not-so-reluctant servant of Reaper; Joe Zantek ‘s Golden Boy Joey Crak had a not-so-impressive debut (that’s just begging for a second chance); Rohit Ramnath ‘s Bolt made a grand challenge to returning Veteran, Jason Cox ‘s Professor Atomo, and they engaged in an epic bout scored by WRESTLING SCIENCE. Unfortunately for Bolt, he was unable to overcome the Professor’s pro wrestling proficiency, but the two men were able to at least respect each other at the end…for now.
This session felt like it’s starting to really gel. The storylines are becoming more organic and surprising. I just realized while writing this that I’d intended for the Bolt/Atomo match to be a tournament match, but there was so much going on at the top of it that I forgot to say that out loud! Whoops. Maybe this will be one of those post-hoc “last week on” corrections that we’ll see at the beginning of the next show.
Stras Acimovic ‘s Reaper and Adams Tower ‘s Blind Man Simons both cast shadows over this episode even in their absence! Joseph Le May ‘s poor Brainburg did not make an appearance, but he’s a Jobber anyway…they just didn’t have anything for him this week, again, I guess.
It was awesome good fun!
I had a blast and hope I get to continue the exploits of Joey Crak.
I already have ideas to run by creative!
I hope so too! Now that I feel like I’m getting my head around the format better I may be able to swing more players. I’d love to be able to host everyone who can make it for any given Episode.
Jawesome.
One idea that might help, is if players have ideas, to only feature their talent in a non-wrestling capacity, like a backstage segment/run-in/promo/guest announcing. Basic stuff to keep heat going.
