I didn't get to experience SnowJob and March Madness the day they came out because I wasn't here.

Relentless was great as was Leap of Faith, but my two favorites were Bad Medicine and WarGames.

I like the vibe that there's a larger story carrying from match to match, instead of the matches taking place in a pocket universe, the ring gets cleaned up, onto the next one.

WarGames does this by design, because the entire event is based on everyone's work output. But Bad Medicine had to become this, because of the excellent segment work between APEX and The Exiles, starting with APEX winning the tag titles, then the Exiles attacking Jim so Bam would steal the win for the X-Treme, then stealing the briefcase, culminating in the Vaughn stolen cash-in on Alias, FOLLOWED BY the real cash-in of Jim on Alias. The thing took on a larger narrative because of just how much everything tied together.

Haha, I started writing this post to explain why I was voting for WarGames, because it had the start of or contributed to so many future stories of the year, (Betsy vs BoB, Corey vs Thad, Dock vs Alias, Flynn vs Thad, Dolly vs Jim, Charlie vs Dick Powers).

...But, after writing about it, I think I talked myself into Bad Medicine. The whole night was really, REALLY good. Star-Making night for Jim Caedus, immediately set him up at the top of the card, which sometimes a cash-in just starts a timer for like "Okay, how long will this last before the title is back where it belongs", but narratively, set Jim up as a guy who could pull double-duty and take both division's top-titles in one night.

...Yeah, in another real tight race for me personally, I'm going Bad Medicine.
