I saw it for the first time after seeing their website and reading a thread on here about their past episodes. I thought it was pretty good.
#1- Obviously they are financially challenged, the set-up wasn't the greatest, but I was interested in the wrestling, not the commentating. I think they should advertise RPW merchandise, or atleast plug their website. I would really like to see some instructional videos from these guys, an instructional take down video would be awesome and probably profitable.
#2- MORE WRESTLING. They showed two full matches (the semifinals) otherwise they just highlighted the quaterfinals. And they could highlight the action, I didn't see many (if any at all) replays.
#3- Please explain the rules a bit better when something happens, I guess they have challenges and some other "TV friendly" u rules, but how they work is beyond me, basically because they were never explained.
However I will definitely watch for it on PAX next weekend!!! (4 pm)
I actually watched it for the first time also that episode...I agree with you totally. I saw 2 highlighted fights and 2 full matches. Rulon and Matt aren't the most skillful color commentary. The matches were pretty good. In the beginning they explain the rules and the point system. I have now TIVO'd it to catch it whenever it comes on to watch it again.
I saw one episode. I wish I could say it is gonna be a success, but I can't. I dont see it having any appeal to the regular joe or for that matter anyone who even wrestled before.
this past episode was the last of the weight classes. the championship final will be on may 15 and will replay on FSW on may 18.
the episode you saw on sunday (pax) will replay this wednesday on FSW.
this is their first year and they have areas they need to work. hopefully the show continues, i can't believe we finally have a "PRO" wrestling league. support the sport.
