I feel the obvious points of improvement that everyone will suggest would be to try adding a bit more color to your promo/rp to make it look more interesting and exciting to the reader. Adding something simple like this:
"Getch Yer Knickers ina bunch,"
Could help the reader connect more with who's saying what and is a real advantage we have in e-fedding over the novel format that some people tend to write. The style was fine, that's just a friendly suggestion. Also make sure it's not a color that hurts your eyes when looking at it on this dark background.
For another clean-up suggestion, I would try centering images in your works as it helps draw attention to them and keeps in line with the paragraph format. Speaking on the paragraph format, if you space your blocks of text out a bit more, it helps keep the reader moving through and also gives the illusion of length to your writing. Also some of the spacing you did do seemed inconsistent and made it tougher to go through top to bottom.
Example:
"I'll let you know that my scheduled opponent from earlier tonight also moves on. So once again Ill dumb it down for you. That means next week on unstoppable, I have the pleasure of kicking not one but two guys asses.""
And
"It doesn't really matter though. Because at the end of unstoppable you two WILL have something in common. A sacred similarity that you can hold onto forever. Come That night you two will personally have your asses handed to you by the 'Self Proclaimed Main Event Superstar.'
And when you do you'll both be knocked out of the tournament and be forced to watch me win while you warm up your spots on the sideline. Well I've got a hot date with this sexy rich hotel heiress. I'm out bitches."
End Example.
Now, onto the character. You play the character well and remind me a lot of a show-offy type like Dolph Ziggler. It's nice and interesting, but maybe work on your insults a bit. "You're the pussy." Just seemed to throw me off a bit. But hey, if that's what you're going for then go for it full force. I'm excited for your matches next week and this piece of work really gathered my interest in watching how the character does in the rest of the tournament. The v-logs idea is fine and I notice a lot of people going with it. Next time, try putting something interesting going on in the background that your character can interact with while v-logging. Maybe a car alarm goes off and you have to deal with recording with obnoxious background noise. How would the character react/play off of that event? Stuff like that really adds another dimension to promoing and makes the character have more of a personality outside of just being a wrestler.
Good work, good content, good idea, just needs some cleaning up. Hope this helps, and I hope that we can all work together to keep a board like this updated and full of helpful criticism.

I think the body of the work is just fine, but yes, some differences in the appearance of the narration vrs. the speakie-chatty bits would be cool. Some issues with syntax and such, but I can still fairly clearly get what you're saying anyway. Umm, I suck at these. So, yeah. Colour. Maybe the use of bolds and italicses? Aside from that, good stuff!
