September 2 Remember (October Edition)

[Mayhem]

Congrats to Crowe I had my money on him but I felt Tibby was the under dog that I was rooting for.

 

The scramble.... Eeeegh you know I'm not a fan of the match type because the targeting just makes it a cluster but it was well managed by the players involved. Sooooo With the ending, sense Irving defeated Aries doesn't that kinda put Irving as the next #1 contender? Hmmmm Only if Aries knew where the belt was as we still have a unclaimed belt on the loose. I WONDER WHO REALLY HAS IT.......

 

Good to see wonderful Wesely back but i truly do not know if VV has controll of his characters at all as of late... Hopefully so.

 

Was hoping for more spots in the EX match.

 

I am hoping for tuce to get a good fued going against some one but I guess your working on your connectivity, or maybe both?.....

 

The tag match: Tag team matches is something that I want to see more of for a long time. "The Order" with Poe was a tag team, Thanatos & Fero, APEX, Lotus , all tag teams / factions that where around at the same time that never got to face each other due to negligence of booking. If people put together a tag team or faction, booking should take note and start booking them matches tag matches 3 on 2 , 2 on 1 , etc. When they dont book these faction is mainly the reason for them desolving. When you have a faction / team you want to face other factions or teams not just run aimlessly around OCW jumping people with the purpose of cleansing OCW of bad or good. That shit is old and over done, no one wants to do that. We want to face enemies.

 

think how fun it made having TDS vs REV inc, Rev inc vs ToP, Dogs of War vs Hughes & J.T Campbell etc. You need to book them in order for them to succeed at being a faction or tag team. It gave all these teams purpose.

 

 

thats my 2 cents for the PPV

[Michael Morrison]

I am also a fan of Tag Matches, but even when we had a larger and active roster; trying to get all four people online at the same time was like pulling teeth. Then you had to worry about their connection an blah blah blah. Even so, the conversations, alone, made it all worth while and the matches were all-around fun to be in.

 

Maybe we should have a Tag Team based PPV, where everyone is forced to enter a group. The group with the most wins, must then face each other for some kind of prize or contendership. "Tag Team Turmoil" or "Divide and Conquer"?

[Brandon Hostile]

Not a fan of Aries winning the championship.. I thought him being in both matches was a little dumb.. I marked for the Seth Aries feud, but seeing him in that championship match just didnt seem right.

 

Dupree sorta got squashed by Crowe.

 

Wesley's return is good.

[Vincent Valmont]

It seems that Smythe starts off the ppv, but not in a good way. His brief return was short lived after getting banned, and then arrested. Who knows what it can lead going into Riot. It starts off a ppv in a good way, no offense, but a main event wrestler getting banned makes the ppv play out as if alot of "what ifs" can happen tonight.

 

Kindred vs LSD/??? -

First match to start off S2R, and it's a tag match. There's not much of a tag division left due to roster size, but I predict with good booking, active wrestlers, and commitment we can see OCW have a good tag division. You don't need huge factions, just maybe 3-4 solid tag teams to get it going. As for the tag match there was no intros, but it's the opener, and opening matches are important. It sets the tempo for the rest of the ppv. LSD reminds me of The Steve, and Guy Fuasto. In his play style, and with his look it's actually different compared to the current crop of wrestlers on the roster. I'm not too up to date on Kindred, my bad, but I hope the best for them in near future because tag division can start with them, and evolve. Keep active, and keep getting booked. Both of you look like a tag team, and play like one too which I like out of tag teams it makes tag matches a bit more interesting. The match was a bit back, and forth in the beginning. Everyone was testing each other out, and trying to gain control. Not too many mistakes in the match, and there's always gonna be a few of them. There was alot of nice spots, some missed, some connected. In the end the stronger tag team won the match, and can continue to gain off momentum.

Entertaining RP from the International champion, Dupree. Which he's basically got everything he needs to have a great future, and be the main reason OCW has a strong midcard again. If he can keep the title, or atleast while his reign lasts he can resurrect a midcard that was very strong in the old days of OCW.

 

Look like another banning has taken place, this time unemployment follows. It seems a rookie RJN has been fired, and unless I missed something he might not be missed. Just sayin..

 

Iceberg vs ??? -

Our third match has Iceberg going up against a returning Wonderful Wesley. Overall the match was pretty one sided in the beginning, but Iceberg doesn't go away easy, and he fought until the last second. Iceberg is another person who can help the midcard, and Wonderful Wesley is a nice welcome addition to the midcard, and even ex division that needs competition. After failing to hit his signature, and finisher, Iceberg made a comeback against Wesley. The constant back, and forth taunting between both wrestlers was enjoyable. Neither man wanted to lose, and it showed because both was non stop in trying to end the match early. A rematch wouldn't be too bad of another watch, but have to wait, and see.

 

 

I will admit I didn't get too much of this RP from Matsuda, and his sister, but I did understand it for most part. I enjoyed it, and think Matsuda needs a big feud against someone. He's another fresh face that needs to get more booking time, and step up. His rps are entertaining, and his character is very unique. I seem him wrestle, and he's no slouch. Overall the RP was a good buildup for Matsuda's match tonight.

 

Page 3-

A nice promo to hype Jacob Trance's quest for the OCW title, and for the OCW title match itself. I know if Trance won, we would never hear the end of it, and I wouldn't care. I know he would do his best to be the best champion around, and he's going to be tough to take out in the championship scramble.

 

Aries vs Irving -

I liked Aries coming out to Nate's theme, who knows what it will eventually mean, and if Aries is teasing something he needs more than he wants. Over recent time since Aries has returned he's shown complete change in character, and it's reflected in his rps, matches, and activity. I have faced both Aries, and Nate, although I faced Aries more, I will admit both men push you to play your very best or you'll be getting an ass whooping. There's very few errors to be made against these two, and Irving is someone who is capable of beating Aries. The chances go even higher due to it being inside a steel cage. Aries starts off on an aggressive arsenal of strikes, and fast movement. He sends Irving flying into the steel cage as the first big spot of the match. So far Irving is two steps behind Aries, and that's never good. Irving gets small offense, but quickly finds himself trying to survive outside the ring inside the steel cage as Aries uses the cage to his advantage. Spot of the match, and maybe for the ppv goes to the suplex through the steel cage. This match was gonna be a hard fought battle. The match got closer to someone getting caught, and defeated as both men climbed on top of the steel cage. I thought Aries had beat Irving once thrown off the cage, and through announce table. However, Irving didn't give up, he stay aggressive, and didn't give up. After the battle got back on top it seemed Irving gained control, and got in his best offense all match. The match was over after Irving hit that finisher on Aries, and both falling through the cage. Aries tried to fight off Irving relentless assault, but wasn't enough on this night to defeat Irving. This may be MOTN, it certainly deserves some votes.

 

An rp between Mania, and Rox. It seems Rox has completely lost it, and the character works. Just keep with it, and don't go too over the top. The ex title is a good way to get noticed, being a champion means you're the best, but maybe Hostile has other plans?

 

Page 4-

It seems Aries doesn't like losing, or atleast how he lost tonight against Irving. A rematch should happen, and I see this ending in a last man standing match.

 

Another quick promo from Dupree. It seems the time for questions is over, and time for Dupree vs Crowe is around the corner for the title. I liked how Jim Black played the question of LSD turning on Dupree, but I would hope not, and it's just personal problems to help make the tag team stronger because OCW needs tag teams.

 

Matsuda vs El Dorado Oro -

Both of these wrestlers played each other very similar. Alot of high flying, and big spots were attempted in this match. For most part of first half of the match was both men trying to keep momentum in their corner, but was difficult. Best spot of the match is at around 4:20 where Matsuda sends El Dorado flying off the top turnbuckle to the outside. The part where the ref is attacked, and Matsuda uses the chair to his advantage was clever, and a good spot. It seems pretty much the second half of the match belonged to Matsuda, and it turned into a fight inside the ring as the high flying from earlier was cut down some. In the end Matsuda wins by submission.

 

It seems like Dane has had enough of Jay's antics, and he's ready to prove again why he thinks he should be OCW champion. Will Jay show up, and screw Dane or grant him a chance? I guess Dane will have to stick around.

No need for introduction, the promo says it all. All I can say is... sweet dreams for OCW if I become a three time OCW champion tonight.

 

Hostile vs Rox - Ex Title Match -

Just like I said about Rox earlier he has a unique character, and only going to be himself to evolve it. Take nothing, and turn it into something. Like I said Hostile might have different plans for Rox, and the ex title. My opinion is the ex division, along with the tag division needs to make a resurface. It can grow strong, and become something OCW can book. Hostile, and Rox are paving the way for others to step up into the ex division, and try to make it worth what it once was. Onto the match as what seemed to be a ex title match looked like it was for the hardcore title. Both men didn't want much high flying in this one, but the violence was around. Was an even match until the weapons got involved. Hostile looked like he had the match sealed up, but somehow Rox was able to kick out. I'm not a fan of kickouts happening too much, it doesn't do others justice on their character, or finisher. Makes it look weak, and the person doing it. I'm not saying one or two times isn't bad, but it's something that will happen on this game, and something that cost someone a match. Another match that went down to the last few moves, and the one who took advantage won.

 

Enjoyable promo from Matsuda, needs a big feud like I said earlier. Alot of promos, and good Ws are nice, but feuds create character, and building character is main key in stepping up, and climbing the ranks.

Another promo hyping the addition of Trevor to the championship scramble. This match has a few wrestlers with alot of past, and history together. Should be a great main event, despite a potential clusterfuck, I think it will surprise people, and can Trevor surprise people with a big win tonight? Not if I'm in that ring.

 

Dupree vs Crowe - International Title Match-

Same thing about Dupree is what Crowe can also provide OCW. A very strong midcard is what OCW hasn't had in a while, and with this roster it can happen again. This title means everything to that cause, and these two have the chance to take over the reigns of the International title, but to claim the midcard as they see fit. I also want to add I like Dupree's theme, one of best in OCW in a while. The match was probably the slowest pace match of all night. Both men was conservative, and made sure to take advantage of any errors made by one another. I didn't have a sure winner because I felt the match could go either way. Dupree, the champion never really took over the match. It was at a evenly pace of momentum, but near the end the hunger of a contender makes the difference in Crowe becoming a new international champion. Hopefully Dupree gets a rematch, and this leads to a feud for now between these two. Both are the strong point for the midcard, and a feud for the title leading to a rematch need to take place.

 

 

Jerimiah Johnson has my attention... now keep it. Fresh faces is a good thing for OCW because new competition. I like the extra bit that you made sure you wasn't seen. Prolonging something to add buildup is always good.

 

It seems after Smythe's banishment, Aries has fount a way to get himself in the championship scramble match. Can he take two losses in one night? Or will a revenge seeking Aries just take home a title that everyone is claiming, but only one is holding.

Dane vs Trance vs Trevor vs Valmont vs Aries - OCW Title championship scramble match-

I won't give too much comment, but congrats to who won. The match was fun for myself to take part in, and I just hope it means big things for the OCW title. If not, I will take it off you sooner or later.

 

The finale will forever shake things up for OCW following S2R. Who assaulted him, and why? Will he get away with it, or will revenge be dished? Alot of questions, and no answers. A good cliffhanger to end a ppv, and let's hope everyone steps up their game in weeks to follow.

[Justin Rockstar]

Another match that went down to the last few moves, and the one who took advantage won.

What match are you watching? I think you need to go back and see what you missed.

 

I... I still can't believe...

 

Why would he do that?

[Parker]

Nice review VV...but Crowe and Dupree have been feuding for about the last 6 week!!

And I'm sure it's not going to end anytime soon :p

[Vincent Valmont]

I'll admit I was behind on feuds, and who was where, and was doing what. So I didn't think it was as much as 6 weeks, but if that's so then the feud needs to continue. One thing OCW needs when it comes to feuds is feuds to last longer than a month. Establish some sorta of continuity as like I said both will help revive the midcard.

 

 

What match are you watching? I think you need to go back and see what you missed.

 

I... I still can't believe...

 

Why would he do that?

 

I watched your match... what are you trying to say? I know why you mad, but when someone gives credit to your match, character, and rps then can atleast be happy. What do you want me to say about the screw job? I said one who took advantage won. If I spoil everything, what will make from someone going to watch it. While I'm at it for ya... I'll spoil that Jay got abducted by aliens at end of the show, they turn him into a six thousand dollar man, and he returns bionic with super powers.

[Matsuda]

Great review VV, though I want everyone to know that I'm not avoiding feuds out of laziness... Post LOTUS I wanted to focus on character building, hence the gimmick shift, and because of the football season, I have had little time to put in the legwork to have a feud of the caliber that I would like to be known for-- so trust me, everything is happening for a reason, just building a little background ;) Big things are in the works.
