this buffering is very very very annoying

[Mr.Sensation]

We might have to scale back file size then. Or you guys are going to start encoding in flash.

[Mayhem]

fuck that

 

 

the buffering is fine and so is file size so we dont get distorted matches

[Mr.Sensation]

On that note bring on the Riot discussion!

The show kicks off with Leon responding to Pato's recent actions, and it doesn't take long for the Samoan man eater to come out and start whooping on Leon. Pato and all of Lotus are fucking awesome. They're doing a great job of getting noticed as they've done a lot on Ambition and are carrying it over well to Riot. The future of OCW looks bright with these guys around and I like it when I see Leon and Pato mixing it up, they have original ideas that involve beat downs, which may be over done but it works in their situation.

 

Jacob Trance is aware that his career could be over on this night and does a good job of showing it in his RP. Short, sweet, and to the point.

D-Jack vs. Dorien Arnaud: Arnaud got his ass whooped, straight up. D-Jack must have hit like 5 sigs/fins, but everyone has their off weeks Dorien. You've been hot up until lately, keep your head up, you'll be alright.

 

The RP with Ryder/Storm/Creed was creative and hilarious. I like how they used this platform to improvise for replacing their original matches. They really thought outside the box on this one and I mark for originality. Nice build for a TV title match.

 

Guy Fausto returns to Riot and isn't happy with our simi-new GM. But I know Cash Creed knows what's good for business, his name says it all. I like Fausto coming back to Riot after goofing around on Ambition for months, this is a good way to get more people watching Ambition, especially me.

 

TV TITLE: Cody Storm© vs. Chris Ryder: Cody Storm won the title last week and defends the belt that's been passed around like a fat blunt. This match was WAYYYYYYY too long! I could say that maybe FPR needs to be tweaked to repair the problem of long matches, but you never know how long a match will be, it could be 6 minutes or 36 minutes. These two seem to be evenly matched, but Storm is transitional and Ryder regains the TV Championship. This wasn't a bad match, it wasn't even sloppy for the length it was and for that I applaud the two of you. Good match.

 

Something tells me that Smythe isn't too happy with Parker after he screwed him last week, maybe it's the bench press bar that Smythe is using to crush Parker's chest. Smythe's had a very different attitude ever since he started this thing with Sensation and I'm liking it. He's showing his badass side and steals Parker's 'suck it!' line. This does a great job of setting up the Main Event between these two along with what went down last week. These guys know how to build a Main Event!

 

Chris Ryder is happy to have his TV title back, and I like how he uses the long match to blame the referee for having a slow count. He's doing a fine job of building his feud with... referees... It's funny and original at the same time, he's like OCW's Eric Young.

 

Guy Fausto vs. Iceberg Le'Tuce: This is a very even match and Le'Tuce seems to have improved since I faced him, or maybe Fausto's just that bad. Either way, this match was great and I love the ending. Pato comes out, a member of Lotus invading yet another match. He knocks Le'Tuce out with a single punch and I had to laugh at Guy celebrating, only to have Pato turn his attention to him a split second later. Pato squashes Guybrush with a modified Samoan Drop (which actually doesn't look bad for a CAF) Before tossing the seasoned vet out of the ring. Pato is dominant and I can't wait to see if he can end Leon's streak at Lution.

 

Tiberius Dupree is probably one of the most creative people in OCW right now, and the best babyface going today. His RP's are hilarious and full of charisma. He's great at talking shit about his foes and I hope he gets a Lution spot. This was a very good spot for him as he builds Ambition and his involvement. Keep up the great work, and don't stink up the joint while taking that Haz.

Jacob Trance vs. K.Dangelo: Another great match, and the stipulations had me on the edge of my seat. It was obvious that both guys knew what the stakes were and were fighting their hearts out. Jacob wins and protects his job, while KD doesn't get another TV title shot and will probably take it out on Jookie. Interesting paths that this match creates.

 

Smythe vs. Parker: Match of the Night by far. These guys are evenly matched and it seems Smythe has stepped his game up. But Parker's on a roll, he's on freaking fire! I thought Smythe might have him but Parker drops that devastating elbow to win it. That's why this is the Main Event, they built it from last week's shenanigans and the match was amazing.

 

And to top it all off, Sensation comes down and is all business now. No limo, no billion dollar smile, just business. He seems to be hinting at a showdown with Smythe, or maybe he'll just have Pato come whoop his ass again. Either way, the boss has something in store for Smythe and I for one can't wait to see what it is. You never know what you're going to get when The Boss is involved.

 

Final Thoughts: There seems to be a trend of a lack of RPs on pages 4 and 5, not just this week, every week. I wanted to see something from KD or Jookie, definitely wanted to see something from Trevor after his magnificent RP last week, but he just turned face and is letting it sit in for everyone and I like that. Other guys that were no where to be found: D-Jack, D.Jones, I wanted to see something from Le'Tuce as I'm intrigued by his last RP. All in all, this was a great show. The smoke is beginning to clear and we're starting to get a good look at what's to come at WrestLution. I can't wait for next week, keep up the good work everyone.
