I like that Mondo won, I was actually kinda assuming he'd be used as a jobber.

The only time that I found myself being like "what the fuck?!" was the fact that two of the biggest names in Japanese wrestling (some can argue that at this point in time Masahiro Chono is THE biggest name in Japanese wrestling.) did the job for some indy guy who just got brought up to what I'm assuming is a major fed. I'm not saying it's not possible, it was just a "WWE Booking logic" kinda moment for me.

Other than that, I like the match-ups so far, but a little more write up would be good, you said that this is the first offering though and that we can expect more from here on out, so it's no biggie. Like I said, I'm having a hard time caring about any of the created guys on the level that I would assume that you would want me too (I view them all as nobodies, which I guess is a pretty logical reaction since no one has ever heard of them), which is why, in my head, there's no way Chono and Fujinami should have lost to Anselmo...I already don't like him...I hope he's a heel so I can relentlessly boo the crap out of him.

I'll start now

FUCK YOU PETEY! *Clap...Clap...ClapClapClap*

I read about them, but knowing about a wrestler because you read a profile and actually caring about a wrestler in a wrestling sense are two different things.

For example, I know a lot about some of the current WWE superstars, because it's easy to find information on them. However, where they to pop up in a fed that I watch regularly (IWA:MS, Chikara, PWG, and ROH along with the usual puro stuff), I'd have a hard time giving two shits and a fuck about them despite knowing about them. That isn't to say I'd write them off right from the start (unless they really deserved it, ala Great Kahli or something.) but that I'd have a hard time getting behind them because I'm probably more familar with the other wrestlers because I watch the fed that they preform in regularly. Giant Bernard is a great example of this, I was totally against him when he first showed up in Japan, but over time I got behind him.
