OCW Riot 11-15-2012

[Leon Valentine]

I was really expecting a heel turn by Tibby at the end :( Embrace the hate already asshole! This Scumbag took the championship from you, he mocks you and you still try to be the nice guy? You disappoint Dupree.

 

Matsuda it seems I got through to you on the anniversary show because you took over Riot. Matsuda Mother Fucker!!!

 

Looking forward to Pugh vs Tyro next week. Both are putting out good content.

 

Smythe Dawonder please save us from Scumbag Parker because Dupree wont.

 

Also the A-Team are badass!

[Cody Storm]

Ok, I am WAAAAY late here, but I figure better late then never, I'll save the excuses for another date.

 

I have two cents on the topics going on in this thread, and while I thought that on one hand maybe I should let them go since the topics appear to be somewhat controversial, I decided that Jay wants 9 pages, and I'm going to do my best to give him 9 pages so I need as much shit to talk about as possible.

 

The "Inner Circle": It exists. You can call it what you want, you can deny its existence, you can do whatever you want really, but you can't change facts (unless your my roomate apparently because he seems pretty good at that).

First off, this is the most friendly inner circle I can imagine. I like every person that I believe to be a part of the inner circle, so they have that going for them.

Second, an inner circle is going to happen. I think that's obvious, I think that's natural. Jay isn't going to talk to everyone, do you (any of you) talk to everyone? I know I don't. So how do you pick who you talk to and who you like best? Well for every person I would think there is a different, personal, set of criteria. For the owner of an Efed, I think it only makes perfect sense that it's the guys with the moniker "Team Reliable". These are the guys consistently putting content on the shows and coming up with the most creative ideas, of course they are the ones that Jay is going to go to, they should be the opinions that he cares about the most. Again, that's only logical.

I don't think anyone not in this circle should really worry about it, they're all still very nice guys, and if anything the fact that something like this exists should only push people further. You can sit there and say you don't want influence all you want, but again it's only a natural thing to be flattered by the fact that you have it whether you want it or not.

 

 

Mayhem's Stat past: Jay, you're crazy sir. I obviously haven't looked at the entire archive because I simply don't have that kind of time right now, but I've seen a couple of Superheavyweight Mayhem in action, and I remember one in particular that K.D. showed me where Smythe was whipping his ass and somehow Mayhem came out with the win (it was in 2011 by the way, so you already confirmed that he had the stat and size change).

 

This isn't me trying to say anything about you Mayhem. Frankly my opinion of you is still pretty up in the air, I haven't ineracted with you all that much so I don't feel as strongly against you as a lot of people seem to, but I know this situation well because your character strongly resembles one that I delt with in my efedding past who was also a superheavyweight jackass. He was a great guy, but he had the stat boosts that are afforded to the weight class, and he was borderline unstoppable, I only managed it a few times so I understand where people would be coming from with this situation.

 

Finishers on uninjured people: Eh.... I really don't like it, I used to play, much like old OCW did with the double red rule, and that included not hitting a finisher until your opponent was double red, so I'm still stuck in my ways a bit with evidence of damage taking the place of double red in these newer editions of the game. If it is decided that it's not a big deal as long as it looks good, I'm not against that, I just don't know that I'll be one to do it. The finishers definitely deal more damage than any other move in a moveset and just because you happened to get a cool looking reversal doesn't seem like any reason you should use it over me who may have had a finisher saved for 5 minutes now but hasn't had any cool reversal moments.

That being said, I play this game much more for competition than I do for a good looking match, or at least I used to. OCW has changed me a bit in that way, and it's one of the top reasons I pick this place over others, you all put together great matches that are terrific fun to watch, and I strive much more than I used to to get that same effect, but I'm still here for the shiny belts and the "W's", so take that for what you will.

 

 

 

 

On the the show:

 

I seem to be much less familiar with Jay's new theme than others, but I like it none the less. I think that everyone could tell that a show down of this type was coming, and I think it came off very well. I didn't expect what happened later, but I'll talk about that when we get to it. I agree with your own opinions about your character Jay (doesn't that just sound like I'm kissing ass xD), he's got a couple of screws loose and that makes things very unpredictable since he holds power and it makes everything more entertaining.

 

And, actually I think the easiest way to do this is to talk about the characters of the show instead of the events in a timeline, I'll talk about the characters as they pop up in the show, but I'll talk about everything they did throughout the show as many appear more than once.

 

 

Mr. Sensation: I already started yours above, but I want to add that I love the Geomon skit and the A-Team stuff. I don't know all that much about Geomon (hopefully this angle changes that, if not I'll use some of my christmas break in a few weeks to catch up on my OCW history), but the reaction that Sensation had to him on the skype call leaves me feeling like his inclusion in this angle is a very big deal. Obviously the main event for next week has a big question mark on it as Kent is the handler of two of the participants, but that just leaves room for something big to happen, so I like the match Sensation has made and the alliance formed.

 

Parker Stevens: I think Parker's words were spot on, they are exactly how everyone expected him to feel, like he was overlooked and like this is finally his time and he wants to savor it, and that makes it resonate all the more. I can understand exactly what this character would be feeling and it made this a bigger moment in my head. I'm excited to see what the "Scumbag" edition of the OCW Championship looks like as I wasn't a huge fan of the Ambition Title. I think this era nonsense needs to be kaboshed though, "The Scumbag Era" really? Sounds like Orton when he decided it was going to be an Orton Dynasty or whatever he went on about in 08. You got your ass kicked later on in the night huh? You have your first big test as champion as the champ, no matter what situation he's in, always has the most to lose. I'm excited to see how it pans out next week.

 

K.Dangelo: I'm waiting for you to finally keep the hate man. I feel like it's every other week you're a revamped K.D or one that's "lost it" again. You're a beast in the ring most of the time, and there's no reason you shouldn't always be "punishing the sinners" I liked K.D. vs Mez. I feel like K.D. was having a hard time dealing with the size of Mez (a strange keyfabe way of saying it was obvious you were having a hard time dealing with the combination of a champ stats opponent and the difficulty of landing chain grapples, you looked like you constantly needed to switch out of one for a more sure fire way to mount a comeback, so I can understand why all the irish whips and things of that nature). Win or lose K.D. is always someone who comes out of a match looking powerful, so he's definitely got that going for him.

 

Jacob Trance: It's been a while since we've seen you around these here parts Jacob. I understand the anger, but buck up, get in the ring, and give me a reason to care that you're upset.

 

Smythe D. Wonder: I thought that you were funny in the ring when you were heckling the fans and us backstage, but I'd watch your mouth with words like that (by the way, in case people are scratching their heads, I decided mid way through this that I'm going to talk about the characters themselves and not the handlers as much as possible), people backstage may not take kindly. People on stage, such as the returning Hazard, obviously aren't taking kindly.

 

Hazard: Hazard looked great in the ring at the live show with his ability to avoid the dreaded Black Rack, and he came back and got the verbal best of a known talker in Smythe, so this match is intruiging for sure. Hazard's interruption of Smythe was very nicely timed with the lighting and the music. The match was a bit of a mugging though, Hazard got some good moves in there, but they were really a flash in the pan, Smythe came back to OCW tough and cleaned his clock.

 

Hostile: Brandon talked a pretty big game to Pugh tonight, and he typically shows up in his matches whether he wins or loses. This was no different as the two put on a great match, but just as Vegas predicted in the betting odds, the champion retained his newly made gold championship.

 

Pugh: Pugh had a huge night with name drops alone. It seemed like he was mentioned every couple of minutes, which has to mean he's doing something right, right? Right! Pugh looked like he was in danger of losing his championship for a while in his match tonight, but he came out with the "W" and the Gold and that's what matters. The pedigrees did looks nice coming off counters (for what that's worth), but the submission was what sealed the deal. I can understand Pugh being angry with the ref missing his foot on the ropes, but he's kind of a jerk to demand a match from on the same night that the new champion enters a cage against one of the most vicious men on the roster. I am looking forward to the rematch next week however.

 

Omar Gibbs: Omar looked fantastic tonight ripping into Cody Storm (I don't know what everyone is saying, I think he kicked my ass pretty handily, though I give myself some reprieve as I could barely keep my eyes on the match with the flu I had going on). Storm took three jacknifes to go down, but Omar had the energy to throw three powerbombs at him, so who does that really say more about? Gibbs.

 

A-Team: Since Gibbs is here I'll mention the A-Team now. As I said Mez had a big night taking out K.Dangelo in a great match, but the big thing for this duo, trio with D. I suppose, was becoming the new butt-buddies of Sensation after receiving what we can only imagine is a HUGE stack of cash. They aren't even just going to go into the cell against Tibby and Parker, these assholes took it a step further and jumped Parker to close the show, I guess Jay is getting what he paid for.

 

Matsuda: Matsuda was hilarious tonight. Talking for Dimsmore was funny and showed that he has a great relationship with Dims, as Dims would hardly let anyone else get away with that. He didn't really need to break the camera though, I mean OCW has to pay for that damn it! Matsuda was someone else who was all throughout the show though. He had a very dominant win over former Ex Champion Marely, got inside current Ex Champion, Terry Romero's head, and got destroyed by the current International Champion, Mr. Tyro Kraven.

 

Dimsmore: Dimsmore and Matsuda are going to be a very fun team from an entertainment aspect, a very dangerous team from a competition aspect, and a TERRIBLE team from a heel aspect. The tandem brings with them a lot of new possibilities. Dims' match against Tyro was a great one, I feel like Tyro had the upper hand throughout most of the match, but Dim was never out of it. At one point I thought he almost had it won, but Tyro slipped out of The Dimolsher and picked up the win. I like the new hairdo and for whatever reason I was quite fond of Dim's new cut shirt, but it looked like it was sticking to his wrestling attire, so that was kind of off.

 

Tyro Kraven: Tyro has finally done it, much like Parker, and had a huge moment celebrating with the crowd. The emotion was almost too much for him as he was about to leave the ring as the crowd willed him back into the middle. The win was a huge one for him as it was over a still very legitimate threat and International Contender in Dimsmore, and it was in The Cage. It was probably the best season opening imaginable for Tyro (short of getting a world title match and upsetting the new champion).

 

Sean McGee: Sean showed that he's still an asshole disrespecting the fans. He came up short in the ring, but looked great doing it as always and was in the fight most of the time (I'm holding back a bit on this one so that I don't use all of my material for future RP's).

 

Tiberius Dupree: The poor former champion. He had to watch as someone else got all of the attention, that must have been hard..... Though I will concede he has something with his conspiracy theory against how Parker won the championship. The former champ bounced back pretty big against McGee, forcing a tap out after escaping a submission himself. I thought, much like others, that we were close to seeing him turn on the fans and strike Parker at the end of the show, but sadly we have to wait another day as he ran back to chase off the A-Team and Sensation to close the show.

 

 

It was a great show guys, I enjoyed every minute of it, and I hope next weeks (last weeks?) Riot is as good, hopefully I can watch it tomorrow night.

[Parker]

That was a bad ass review..well played sir.
