Aw, but c'mon-- they're so cute..! That aside, this show was epic from top to bottom. I'm glad that I was able to contribute the little that I contributed, and I look forward to working with you folks in the future!

D'awwww baby piggies. It was a show full of surprises - Kliff's remembering who he was, Gryphon's surprise appearance, Kane's introducing himself in Kane Fashion. New champs (which is always a good way to shake things up) and whole lots of new things about to happen. That's really what I love to see in a PPV - both sides of the 'war' got triumphs and took their licks too. With all the new talent and attention coming to EXODUS I think everyone can see what a good thing this is. Very enjoyable show

I lost, but besides that the show was really good. 9.5/10, but it would've been 10/10 had I won. I kid obviously. I'm not Christian Kane. Lol

Such an amazing and emotional show! I think this has been one of the best E-Pro shows that's been done so far and I know from here, it's only going to get better. Everyone put so much hard work and effort into it and it came out beautifully. I loved everything, and that match with Kliff and Jon? GOT ME RIGHT IN THE FEELS.
thank you to everyone for making this show amazing and probably more exciting than WM was. LOL!

I would just like thank you all for the lack of votes in the prediction thread, because it makes this victory so much sweeter. Suckas!! *bows* :-p
Now that my ego trip is out of the way, I must say that this show was nothing short of amazing! Congrats to all the winners and new champs. Thank you to all the writers who put the time in and gave the love it takes to put a show like this together.
Most of all, big standing O to everyone who put their hearts into their RPs and made results like this worth writing.
Everyone gets a round of applause.

I think that Invincible was the best show Exodus has put on to date, and I am a person that is of the mind that there hasn't been a bad show yet.
First off, props to the match writers. It needs to be said. Double props to the writer of the TLC match for 'tenacious Tennessean' which I now feel obligated to steal borrow. I think in a night of solid happenings, the bit with Collins/Gryphon stole the show. You know, in a good way. Taking out a pillar like that sure is a solid way to make a statement.
Legion's presence was certainly felt but not in an overwhelming way - which was good. I am a fan of the whole big bad stable concept but it was good to have a mix of them winning (in more ways than one) and losing.
Everyone on the card came out looking solid - to me, anyway. Also Christian Kane is now my hero. The confetti had me, but then you went all in and now I love it. Even if you are still a monster from that whole Genie in a Bottle business.
Now for the cheesy part.
We're all winners with a show like that!
I'm done. I think.

- Big win for the double Katherines -- more so now that it seems that Stryfe'll be sticking around long term. Double Katherines seem like a strong contender for the EXODUS Pro Tag Team Championships right now, but more on that situation later.
- I am extremely conflicted on the Andrew Ashton character. He has X-Pac heat with me in spite of the writer's obvious capability -- if this is the intention, then bravo, good sir. Without knowing the backstory, he feels sort of like a '99 Jericho clone, coming in to be The Man of a company that already has several, and with several chips on his shoulder from a successful past. There's obviously story development to be here, but I'm looking forward to seeing him in the ring and how things shake out going forward.
- Good triple threat match between the group of relative newcomers. Dream Catcher's identity being revealed seems important going forward considering our working with KJPW, so developments for it on both sides of the Pacific seem likely. Daniels and Harakiri are both solid characters too, so this serves as a good base to build on going forward.
- Between Dan Stein and Andrew Ashton, maybe I'm just tired of eW cool heels. Again, the writing quality in Stein's seg is very good; I can hear the character in my head as he rants, but I'm just a little cold to it. Still well done and likely foreshadowing for any of a number of possible things.
- Gouken/Riley being no match was one of my bigger disappointments of the evening. I like both characters and was looking forward to it, but it seems obvious that this battle will continue. Nice usage of the barbed wire baseball bat. Conceptually, the Demon and his sister are probably my favorite act in the company.
- Lumping all of the Jonathan Collins pre-match segments into one spot here. I thought these were very effective to establish a sense of foreboding -- and I really didn't doubt Collins was winning until I read these, so they did a very good job of foreshadowing, well, pretty much everything that's about to happen.
- The San Diego Bay Title match is to this point an easy MOTN, and hey, I got a prediction right! Matthews feels like the most unique of the contenders, and the most likely to put a very unique stamp on the new title right away with his brand of religiousness. Everyone looked good, and the preacher's gonna have a metric ballton of contenders considering how quickly we're taking on new talent.
- EVERYONE LOVES MYSTERY DEBUT SEGMENTS!
- Collins/Ulysses was a very well written match, giving way to what's obviously a huge, colossal angle reveal that I know nothing about, so my ability to comment on it is somewhat limited. I would have liked this to be conducted SLIGHTLY differently -- with Collins getting shafted more quickly, THEN the big heel beatdown, so it would make more sense that EXODUS didn't run out and try to maim LEGION and their new leader, but as an emotional event this was tremendous. The Batemans involved also adds another layer to the proceedings and shows just how deep the Jonathan Collins rolodex really is.
- As pretty much everyone has commented, the Christian Kane segment was a highlight of the night just for the sheer mood whiplash of the moment. It's been done a few times in the WWE before, but I daresay never quite that well. Looking forward to seeing what sort of trouble Kane manages to get himself into; it is EXODUS, so there's lots of it to find.
- TLC for the EXODUS Tag Titles was another very well done match chockablock with angle implications and all of that stuff. New tag champions, which I didn't expect, but Park/Cannon make an interesting duo. I've really enjoyed Cannon as EXODUS' face Regal/Nigel hybrid sort of character, and after the Collins departure, this was a big win for EXODUS that in fact deprives LEGION of its only title in the company. The kidnapped/brainwashed sister bit is a little too soap opera/Attitude Era for my tastes, but it certainly sets up the final act of Tiami Tyler's career in a very clear fashion and establishes LEGION as even WORSE people, so it works.
- Enjoyed the EXODUS/KJPW recap segment under my clause of "anything that makes an eW show more realistic makes me a happy Sean."
- Thoroughly enjoyed the International Championship match (well, except the result of course, but. ;p). It was well-written and made total sense throughout considering the Harter-Halliwell relationship and a lot of things that we all touched on in our roleplays. Three ways can be a pain in the ass to write, but this one was done remarkably well and had the most satisfying finish of the evening, I'd say. Heather's only now got 84308753653 people presumably after her title, so good luck to her.
- Magnus Gunner is my favorite character in the company simply because he walks the line between being a genius and being a stark-raving madman so very well.
- I don't hate draws. I don't even hate draws in PPV main events. I do hate draws in PPV main events that are presumably grudge-laden enough to require a Chairshot Survival stipulation. Yes, WWE's done it in Last Man Standing matches, and it's generally silly when it happens there, too. If this was judged a draw, I totally understand -- and yet feel like this would have been better served as a normal match, particularly if the feud's going to go on from here (which seems likely, as Gunner's the primary thorn in Rourke's side and has been since she won the title from Wise).
I cannot, though, fault the quality of the match itself, which was tremendous and MOTN, as you'd expect from such as thing.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Overall, I thought this was a very, very good show. Some quibbles, but I'm a picky bastard and usually have a few of those. Good segment turnout, too, but I'd like to see a bigger variety of people turn in segs to add some more personality to the show and all of that. Sets up the ongoing LEGION vs. EXODUS war very nicely, with LEGION having struck a huge blow against the company's foundation but being unable to make any further progress (and indeed, having its holdings erased) in terms of actual in-ring competition.

I know its coincidental with '99 Jericho and me actually having that picture base but there is more to come from it. It goes a lot deeper than how Jericho was. As for how it's coming across, I'm hoping to word it better but in all honesty I'm rusty at shooting, I've not done this for ten years, haha.
