Riot Episode 321

[Vincent Valmont]

Which brings me to my next and final point--the cliquey nature of the title picture is tough with all the titles. The champion has the right to work with someone who will put in half the work and put on a good match at the end of the month for a 3 month program. The champion doesnt have to give a shot to a Valmont who might flake halfway through a promising feud. Its annoying and it demeans the championship.

 

I would like to know any facts that can prove I flake halfway through feuds? My last return on wwe12 had me beating Dupree, and Aries in singles(great matches btw). Every other singles match I didn't lose except 2 countout losses. I didn't bitch for a title shot at those times. I was forced pretty much into a feud with Dane for 6 months. After that I was burnt out by feuding with Dane something pretty much nobody else would do. I took a break since nothing was available. I was around prior to that, and nothing was there. I didn't get booked although every week I been around. I rped, and even created my own storyline of having to win a contract to return. It was the whole reason I had to feud with Dane.

 

So since then other than retiring, and Dimsmore wanting to kill me I'd say you can't put flake on me.

apex.

 

That was a stable, not a feud. :)

 

Also I wasn't alone in leaving, and my reason was personal not because I was lazy or tired of game. Memory serves me correct I tried getting us a feud, but everyone except me who had a singles title at the time had singles feuds in which what was the point of Apex?

The main flaw was Chris Ryder, having a feud with referees and off having gay sex with Thanatos.

Riot Review

 

I like Dupree's new look. reminds me a little bit of Petey Williams look after becoming little Petey Pump, which is a look I kind of think looks cool. I like the shirt, admittedly better than mine, but so is just about everything everyone wears (On a side note, I apologize that we had similar ideas, I was unaware).

 

This whole RP is very quipy. Great mic skills but I'll be damned if it didn't sound just like a rock RP all the way through, which many people love, but personally I think it's just using comedy to get over. I much prefer the more serious tone of RP's, that's why I really liked the Chill Faktor work of these three over this. This new branch of the security force sounds intriguing. Our Hero wants to shove this man down people's throats that's fine, at least he's wise enough to turn John Cena heel.

 

Lucas Crowe vs Damian Kain was an ass whipping, Kain didn't stand much of a chance, which kind of sucks for him coming off that PPV win. He did manage to mount some offense towards the end, but it was too little too late as Crowe planted him twice with the impaler to secure the W. I think Crowe was only booked because the fans demand to see that eerie entrance.

 

Suda has a hell of an ego on him huh? That suit is crazy, and everyone is going to like it because it's no where near a traditional suit. The one thing I will say about this that I was a little put off by is that you changed the belt. Now, I think that belt suits you much better, that's not the issue I have, it's a general issue. All of the belts seem to be being changed. The World title recently changed, you changed the Ex, Pugh changed the Hardcore, and I believe Tyro changed the Int. Granted some of these were minor changes, such as strap color, but still, that's quite a few changes in a relatively small amount of time.

 

Hollywood's character still bugs me, and that's all I can think of the entire time I read anything from him. Granted, that means he's doing a good job as a heel, but I just don't like how Jericho-ey it feels to me. Also, I'm not sure you want to publicize the Dark Knight thing. You say you upstaged Christian Bale, but in fact you were the one that Noland was willing to do without when it came to promoting big stars to sell the tickets and get the hype, so all you did was make yourself seem like shit.

 

Jookie's in the building for one of his four annual appearances. I didn't realize the man had a legends contract.

 

Trance got out of jail fairly quickly for the kind of assault he was convicted for, and the terrible thing is he doesn't seem rehabilitated at all. He is a prime example of the problems we have with out justice system in the US, all they did was round him up for a few nights and put him back out pissed off like a bear you poked a stick with. It's not a good look for the rest of us that have to deal with this guy. I'll be surprised if he's able to lock K.D. into the Fat Rack though, seems like a tall order.

 

Wow, Spider is back from the dead too, is there a party no one told me about? Everyone's coming out from the woodwork. Sadly for Spider, he doesn't get quite the warm welcome that Jookie got. But I guess Suda feels like he's bigger than home now, that's what makes him a villain.

 

You're trying to tell me an entire security force and a former world champion can't stand their ground against a rookie and his "posse"? BS. Wait to look like shit Dupree. That sueing thing was a bluff, if Trance can get off with a slap on the wrist and some extra security for what he did to Mania, I'm sure you'd have been fine, but you're a pussy.

 

Smythe's back too. Maybe he'll stay this time, specially if he's as good as he says he his. He wants the challenge, maybe he should seek one out instead of waiting for it to come to him.

 

The whole next segment kind of made me laugh seeing Ace and Justice get dumped like that, but I didn't read it because I'm an asshole who isn't up to date on that storyline so when I tried to read it none of it made sense to me. It sounded like gibberish.

 

The fourth time we've seen Suda in two pages, now that's exposure.

 

I don't think that Aiden actually gained anything here. He told Cash his demands, Cash said no, he knocked him unconscious. Did he get the girl back? No, did he use the weapon? No. I think this may have been one of the worst negotiation outcomes for a man holding a weapon against a defenseless man ever. I mean genuinely, I will never ask Aiden to broker a deal for me EVER.

 

More Mayhem vs Pato. Seeing two bohemeths go at it is always something fun, but Mayhem's gimmick is just too demonic for me to get behind. It's like, everyone loves Undertaker, he has a similar gimmick to Mayhem, but he's vague about it all and that works for him. I think it'd work for Mayhem too, I think all of the details he puts into this stuff only work for about 10% of people who read it, and I personally think it sounded like some Middle English work written in like 1300 that no one can really understand anymore.

 

Man, Romero is D...E...D...DEAD! I didn't even realize that was him at first. The segment after the bed video intrigues me, I can't wait to see how that develops, but I have no guess as to who the man is.

 

And I was wrong, Trance did in fact 'Fat Rack' K.D. And I know K.D. was pretty pissed off about it. On a tactics note, I don't hate the pick up finishers. They just aren't something that really bug me, I don't know why they bug everyone else. Do I prefer the wake up taunts, yeah, but I feel like people dislike pick up finishers because they are harder to reverse, and I think that's a bit of a cop-out.

 

I think everyone's work on this segment between McGee, Tyro, Pugh, and I was very good. I don't like reviewing my own stuff though so I won't touch it much, but I do want to say that it's not what I thought we were going to be doing for Riot. What I thought we were going to be doing originally was more along the lines of what I did in this thread earlier, that's why all of that was so bottled up. Anyway, nice work guys, I look forward to the match.

 

Suda vs Jookie was pretty awesome. And I think I know why. It was fast paced. I mean yes they are Ex guys so it's going to be faster paced than will a heavyweight fight or something like that, but I think it's the gameplay mechanics. I don't mean to throw Suda under the bus here, but he plays more aggressive than most do and he stays on top of you. Some, most apparently, think that's cheap. I think it makes the most sense. You stay on top of your opponent and take it to them. In a fight you wouldn't ditch the advantage, you'd keep on them. I think it's also more entertaining to watch, I realized this when comparing this to the Crowe vs Kain match. Crowe was constantly backing up and it kind of killed the match for me. I understand doing it in the beginning when it looks like two wrestlers are testing each other out, but after the match gets going some it just looks too coerced, too restrictive to me. But that's just my thoughts. I thought the ending was pretty sick, and it almost looked like Suda was trying to four corners Jookie dragging him around everywhere, but then he pinned him after two so that kind of confused me.

 

No offense to Trance, but if this match does indeed take place I hope K.D. wins. I'd hate to see him leave.

 

The Hardcore Title defense was fantastic. Much better than expected. No offense to Mania, but I expected it to be a bit of a squash, but he hung right in there. Hopefully this means that Mania's rust is starting to get shaken off. The match was a good one and gave Pugh another reputable defense. The only thing that kind of made me laugh was how long that table was on fire for, it was never even broken, it just kept burning, we have durable as fuck tables.

 

Trance just took Mania out again. the poor guy, and how is Trance not back in cuffs already? Better yet, with the security detail that was assigned to him earlier, how did he get out of that dressing room?

 

See, I told you Aiden got nothing out of that negotiation!

 

Tyro vs Dims was a competitive match, like I think everyone expected it to be. I wish they had done something to hype it up a little before hand, but Tyro was busy with Pugh, and Dims is busy being Suda's lackey.

 

I feel like we just saw this segment a couple of weeks ago here.

 

I enjoyed this Parker RP more than I did the other one, it was less insults flying everywhere and more serious and intense and I think that makes for better work 95% of the time.

 

The main event was a good performance, but for some reason I just wasn't in to it, and I kept forgetting the Tiberius changed his look and wondering who the blonde man in the ring was xD.

 

Anyway, it was a very work filled Riot guys, a good show on all accounts, but it seemed to me like a couple of guys got a little overexposed. But you can't blame them if they're the ones that are going to put the content in, specially if the content is good, which it all was.

[Cody Storm]

If I was Cody or McGee, I wouldn't have joined with Leon, i would have feuded with him instead, that would've made more sense, but that's just me.

 

I may be mistaken but it wasn't too long ago that you had back to back tag title shots with 2 different partners, so I kinda don't see where all the whining is coming from lol. McGee also had 2 or 3 shots at the Hardcore Title.

 

Don't get me wrong you definitely deserve a shot at some kind of title, anyone who puts the work in, deserves it. But I also wanna see work a solid feud, something you really haven't done since Josiah Cross.

 

Work hard, be patient, opportunities happen.

 

Without trying to put the magnifying glass back on myself, I do want to risk saying one thing about this: The tag division doesn't count for shit. I was trying to help you all make it work. You can't really count shots given based out of necessity. We were one of three teams, another being you all, and the third being the team I beat each time I got a shot at those belts. That being said, when I finally did get a shot, I carried that feud Kent. You didn't. Gibbs didn't. I did, even without Jake. You were busy with all of your other stuff, so I put ideas out there and kept running them by you and Gibbs.

 

Not that that's a problem, but I have a problem with you saying that I haven't done anything since Cross. I worked with Hostile as his partner. I won the FI and tried to make an angle out of that despite the fact that, that FI fell to shit and everyone knew it. I then tried to keep myself open for a title shot I thought was going to come and never did because I didn't want to be too busy when Jay finally told me I could cash in, but I put work in still every week until the last month or so of my being here. Since coming back I did the feud against Trance which fell apart because Trance couldn't get the partner that he thought he could. I carried the feud against The A-Team with the Storms. I tried to make something of Sean, K.D. and I.

 

I've put work in every week, which I'm sure you think is nothing because you do as well. You're team reliable, and that's great, but fuck you, I do try around here.

You want him to feud with a guy who can't wrestle? Silly coon!

I agree with you here. Also tactically, after one wake up taunt and being reversed, why would it matter. Just because your not getting a wake up taunt warning you saying here i come with my finisher again, get ready.

 

I personally don't see this mattering at all as long as you at least try once to with a wake up taunt to make a legit attempt for a good finish.

 

*NOTE*

 

If you and your opponent agree to any stipulations like no pick up finishers, then you would have grounds to be pissed off and a RM if time was available. You would just need proof, not word of mouth.

[Mr.Sensation]

Um, not sure if anyone remembers or if im old but missed it. But cody got dumpstered when he flaked, and his FI was taken. He is FI less, but theres still WRESTLUTION 8!

I remember that, but I also remember you saying at Indy live who ever wins gets a title shot, and Cody won, granted it was like 7 months ago , but still.
