Very cool.  I really like your roster's mix of TNA and ROH talent, and I look forward to seeing what you do with it.  If memory serves, the Tag Team Tournament is next week.  I'm going to predict a Second City Saints victory there.

Seeing Steve Corino apparently allied with Homicide after all of their issues is strange, but they should be a very dangerous pairing.  Likewise with Joe & Low Ki.  Keep up the good work.

I like half your main event scene, as Corino and Joe are both great talents. It'll take a lot to sell me on Ki and 'Cide though.

While I'm not Homicide's biggest fan, I do like me some Low Ki.  While I can't deny that he works a bit stiff and no-sells a bit, he's capable of having excellent matches with the right opponents.  And, at this point, it seems that MCW is full of the right opponents, so to speak.  Maybe he's not so hot against larger and less technical wrestlers, but since MCW isn't exactly overflowing with those, someone the stature and skill of Low Ki can do great things.

Should be interesting to see how well the M key treats this circuit.  Rick's rules rely heavily on it, and the sudden appearance of a huge megastar in the early months of MCW could make things very different than most of what we've seen thus far.  NDW had a few international stars in its roster to start, so it was at least somewhat resistant to that.  MCW (which, I've just noticed, has a name where the first two letters are actually incremented up one from NDW - that amuses me) doesn't have any huge names thus far.  So that's something to watch out for.
