The fight looked like a friendly play between two friends who didn't want to hurt each other. Too much ineffective holding down. No aggressiveness. Honestly, I would rather see a wresting match between two skilled hot chicks than this.
I have to disagree on this. The aggressiveness in this fight (especially in round 1) was on par with the Vika-Carmilla fight, but it wasn't as good because its harder to get someone to the ground or make them submit without proper hair pulling. I also didn't get the impression that Brooke liked Aubrey very much (so I don't agree with the friendly play comments), especially after she go smacked before the start. I don't want to spoil anything, but at one point one girl had the other to the ground and if there was face slaps allowed, it would've been a great submission. BUT, with no face slapping or hair pulling you can't really do much outside of what we saw. Yes there was ineffective holding, but that was more towards the latter part when they were obviously gassed.
I don't know if you got Steve's previous email, but since the fight wasn't up to his usual SF standards, he offered to give people refunds or keep the sponsorship and get the next fight between Vika and Alexa for free. I thought it was very gracious of him to do that, but maybe I'm in the minority here since I thought this was a unique match and really liked it.
I think I might have missed this email. I sponsored after the release, so that might be the reason. As for the offer, it doesn't surprise me because steven is a straight up guy, but, honestly, I wouldn't like a refund. Good or bad product, it's part of the deal with anything. As long as the rules were set and followed, that's ok.
A partial discount - for free I think it's too much - on the next sponsor, sure. But not because I thought the current release underperformed - as I said, it is part of the business- but based on sponsoring 2 and buying 1 of the last 3 releases. I already mentioned it here how I think discounts for cumulative sponsorships are a better deal than extra content, at least for me.
