Worth the Wait
There were so many great things to talk about with this last chapter. I'll try to get to them all. Hopefully my comments don't seem too disjointed.
First and foremost, as with the original, my Pale Princess Paige reigns supreme! That's my girl!
I don't know why people keep calling Paul Heyman a liar. First, he tells people that Brock Lesnar is going to conquer the Undertaker's WrestleMania Streak... and he does it. Next, he tells everyone that Brock Lesnar is going to massacre John Cena at SummerSlam... and he does it for sixteen glorious minutes. Finally, he tells the WWE Universe that Paige is going to strip AJ to become a 2x Divas Champion at 22... and she does it. If Paul Heyman kept this up people would be calling him a seer instead of a liar.
Paul Heyman definitely proved his worth in this epic final chapter. His pre-match promo (along with AJ's) brought us right back into the story after our time away and really promoted the match to give it a big fight feel. He's the greatest manager in the modern era and I'm glad to see you used him properly. All-in-all he was a great addition to this match.
Aesthetically speaking, I liked how you changed AJ's attire around for this big match. The pink and black outfit has been getting cliche' at this point so it was nice to see you guys mix things up and give her a different look with the blue and white Ice Cold outfit. Meanwhile, you had Paige wearing colors that were practically the opposite with her red and black ensemble which provided a nice contrast between the two competitors.
The match itself was great. Thinktank once mentioned how your story is very realistic and we could see it happening in the Attitude Era. You continued that trend with this final match and mixed in some really extreme moments that would make it go down as some of the most watched diva footage in history.
Paige was really rough on AJ in this match. Not only did she beat her but along the way she also nearly stripped her topless and whipped her with her leather belt. Then after she'd won she stripped AJ bottomless and gave her a demeaning bare-assed spanking in the middle of the ring. Perhaps those extreme moments are another thing to attribute to Paige's tutelage under the Father of ECW.In the end, I guess that's what it took to tear the Diva's Championship away from AJ Lee.
I like the new aggressive edge you gave to Paige with this big win. The story ends with Paige cemented as a force to be reckoned with in the Diva's Division. With AJ out of the way and only Natalya and the rest of the Total Divas to oppose her, I think my pale princess will reign for a long time.
In conclusion, great story. I loved every bit of it. Thank you Jack the Ripper and Doctor Ohno for coming together to create this masterpiece. The only thing that would have made it better was if it was longer. But I understand that sometimes real life gets in the way of writing and doesn't give us the time to write everything we'd like to. It was short and sweet and you guys surpassed the WWE's storyline in every way. The only thing the WWE had going for it was that semi-lesbian thing from after SummerSlam. But they didn't have the balls to go through with it and lumped the Bella garbage in with Paige and AJ. You guys managed to knock it out of the park. So once again, I'd like to thank you for all the effort you both put into writing this amazing story.
Here's hoping we see more from DoctorRipper Productions sometime in the future.
P.S. What the hell? Paige sold out and joined the cast of Total Divas. Now not only is she not going to get to win the Divas Championship again but she's going to be dragged into the staged drama with all those other Total Drama Queens. If nothing else, I hope that the show gives Paige a chance to display a personality and show how she's NOT like the other divas. Lord knows the WWE Writers (who are inferior to you in every way) really dropped the ball when it came to developing Paige's character. Maybe this will pave the way for Paige going back to her roots as the Anti-Diva.
