Hometown Pop (WIP 2)
Result
New Death Row def. POV for the World Tag Team Championship
Grade: A
Analysis
This could not have been booked any better.
With all of the nuclear heat POV was getting, both from fans and sponsors alike, this was the best thing the company could have done to hopefully appease everyone across the board, especially in light of the more recent news that some of POV's talking points might actually mirror some of Aiden Prince's real-life viewpoints (perhaps the reason why Big M.C. stiffed him so hard on that Sawed-Off). Coupled with the mark-out moment of seeing New Death Row make their shocking debut, (credit to everyone who managed to keep a VERY tight lid on this), it was appropriate to see the group emphatically shut down (pun partially intended) by the very kind of people they've been insulting for so long, and in front of a red-hot hometown crowd. Some may argue that it's way too early to put the belts on Dante and Cortez, but they are a well-established team and pretending their previous career doesn't exist and making them start at the bottom makes no sense. This move legitimizes them in the eyes of new fans immediately, although in the case of the Barclay Island crowd, that was already well understood. As an aside, expect that pop when Dante first walked off the bus to grace many Top-10 lists for years to come.

Shaping up to be a very dynamic piece. There's so much going on that you're not sure whether to look at the background or foreground first, which creates a frenzied vibe that mimics what's going on at the event.
The rats have a lot of personality via their expressions and poses, and the crowd is great, too. Found myself perusing through them like a Where's Waldo thing. I did spy a non-critter type in the middle, looking like he was rooting for the other guys.

I figured to be realistic I should put the occasional non-rat in there. One could argue that since I often depict rats as being a financially oppressed group, that there wouldn't be that many of them in the front row but, I need the visual. Otherwise it should probably be a group of distraught red foxes.
Per the rats' personality, I wanted to do what I could to establish one as the more energetic, agile one, and the other as the no-nonsense powerhouse.
