----------------------------------------------

Round 2 of the Unscripted 2015 cycle saw many debuting superstars, as well as some huge upsets. WZCW wants to know what you thought of the shows. Feel free to answer some of the prompt questions below or start your own discussion on a certain aspect from this past round. We want to hear your voice, WZCW Universe.

1.) It's hard to say that anyone other than Noah Ryder had the most impressive debut. However, as a fan, what new superstar are you most excited to see weekly on WZCW TV from this point going forward?

2.) After Team Russia won via DQ on Ascension 93, they are surely in line for a rematch at Unscripted with the titles on the line. With absolutely no plans announced yet, what stipulation would you like to see the teams face off in? Keep in mind that the tag champions have already been in some pretty extreme stipulations the last two PPVs!

3.) Mikey Stormrage did a great job on Ascension 93 as special guest commentator. How did you feel about his presence on the show? Would you like to see more guest commentators in the future?

[Spidey Revivey]

1.) Such a hard question to answer this round. I personally enjoyed all of their debuts and they are all destined to do some pretty cool stuff here. But if there's anybody I'd watch for, it would be Cassanova. Love to see a guy like him and maybe Ramparte, another literature nerd, duke it out over books or some shit. Reading is fundamental.

2.) I'd like to see Team Russia face Cerberus in something outside of the arena. Lots of people hate the idea of wrestling where a ring isn't involved, and there are companies out there who flop with such ideas...but WZCW could capitalize on it. Have them in something brutal. Something that all four monsters could really get in to. It would work.

3.) A thousand times yes. Guest commentators make it all the more special.

 

[John McCass]

1.) Well, I'd go with Ryder. Undoubtedly, he had the best debut. It's not that easy to defeat the World Champ in your very first match.

2.) This needs a brutal war. An "I Quit" match or a street fight will define such a bloody feud.

3.) Stormrage entertains the hell out of me. His character is just lovable. And don't ignore the fact that Stormrage did some great job on commentatory.
