My God man, I don't know where to start except by saying thank you for what you do. After watching this event I can truly and without question say that the URWL is the best CAW fed alive to today, and that your are a creative genius. From the first match to the main event Popular Demand surpassed every single CAW CPV I've seen this year the production as a whole was incredible. Once again Goldash thank you for everything you do to make the URWL a reality I have nothing but the utmost respect for you. Now Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

...I barely noticed this, but does anyone find it ironic that GWN uses HBK's entrance video? XD;

Well, I watched it. Long, but great show. Here are my comments over most, but not all of the matches:
Great work on the Intro. It was just AMAZING!
Seeing Fusion with hair made me realize how many people in URWL are bald.
Nice to see a victory for Hog. Wish he'd do that in the singles division though.The color commentary bothered me in this match; too much mentioning of WWE and the guys (JR and King). You should NEVER mention real companies in fantasy wrestling. But I did like listening to two color commentators for a change.
If you want, since your color commentators sit in a booth, instead of announcer tables call them technician tables.
AWESOME attire for the Commander. lol I'm really glad my man AK-47 is the new North American Champion. I simply loved the Cold War Match idea. Submissions only, and great use of whatever video program you use.
Man, the Tag Team Turmoil III Match reminded me how much of a fan I was for Carnage back in 2006. But I just can't stand the DFS gimmick. I was hoping EOE would pick up the win but as long as we have new Tag Team Champions, it's all good. lol
Akina v. Blood... How in the HELL am I supposed to know who to cheer for? I love them both. I didn't care who won, it was an awesome match. However, I was hoping it would end with one of them taking the other one out with the garbage truck.
One thing about Blood, I've always hated how the corner logo and nameplate are behind the red special effects; IMO they shouldn't be altered. Speaking of great use of your video program, that score indecator you used for the Hardkore 2/3 Falls Match was frickin' shweet. lol I wish you could have used that for the Cold War Match, but the damn game score indecators would make it ugly and pointless.
WOW @ what you did with Vince coming out. How do you do that talking anyway? You did it with Emo, too. And Stern. How?
What was that promo in between the Hardkore 2/3 Falls Match and the Cage Match? Something about 2009 with Akina fighting Stern; I couldn't read the font.
If you decide to use SvR2009, I'd love to see !nterogative get himself a Knox beard. lol I miss his old theme... I'm serious. One again I would like to mention that you should NEVER mention real companies in fantasy wrestling.
Holy ****, plot twist. lol I forgot who Shane Perkins even was for a few seconds. Holy ****, bigger plot twist. lmao
lol, you did a YAY-BOO thing with the fans. I love when they do that. And I have never been a fan of Jamie Emo, ever, but it's cool to see him retain.
So overall, it was some great show. Best of the year that I can remember.
8.8/10
I called the matches: 5-2-1 (didn't care who won Akina v. Blood since I like them both) Not bad if I do say so myself. lol

All right, I thought someone would bring the WWE references up...it was our first time doing true color commentary together and we basically went down that path many times. But, if anything, we made fun of them. Some of it went on like normal discussions we have about wrestling, which include making reference to other leagues. Even though it's a fantasy fed, I like to think of URWL as existing in the real world. But it's our first time doing something like that and, quite honestly, I think we were able to make some good jokes out of referencing WWE (the "goons" lines, the Iron Sheik bit, the Edge and Christian bit).
But if it pisses too many people off, we'll stop doing it in future shows.

I started laughing when ever Cobra began putting Scorpion through the announce table. Vince said,"Now he's doing what he should have did in the match. Throw someone through the damn table..."

This is by far one of the greatest CPV's you've done i must say it was awesome the Cold war match was by far my favorite even though those indicators were kind of bulky *shrug* I just loved that match though The Emo Stern match was good too the ending was not one I was expecting (i thought emo would win, but not that way) When Shane B attacked Barry (or is it Berry I don't remember cause i'm dumb ) I was like WTF?! OMG but I can kind of see where this is going if I'm right and what was the message near the middle where Stern and Akina were fighting, a promo for use of 09 or a promo for someone new ? I can't read that font so well anywho, that was a great show man, it truly shows that if a person has patience like we all did , the rewards are great cause that CPV kicked major ass!

Does anyone happen to know what the messages said during Downfall Syndicate's entrance?
