Raze need to show up for shows .

I feel like this is an on going argument that recycles itself every few years. As it has been pointed out, this is an efed where storytelling and feuds factor into success more so than straight competition.

 

I like to think of the people that focus solely on "wins and losses" as Halo People. With that game its all about who can have the most kills at the end of the allotted time. Who ever has the most kills is usually recognized as the best.

 

In OCW its almost the exact opposite. While wins and losses do count for something, the people that tend to be most successful here are the ones that can tell stories and progress feuds regardless of what the outcome is. I know this is probably ancient history, but back when I feuded with Matt Wilson, we had a best of 3 series (stretched over the length of about 2.5 years) When Matt and I had our first match at a PPV, we had a scenario where if I lost the storyline would play out one way. If I won the storyline was set to play out another way.

 

The only way to really be successful in OCW is to find strong people to build feuds with, be creative with brainstorming ideas, and always have different avenues for a story to play out based upon the outcomes of matches.

That's what separates \m/ from the rest. Like some old wrestling cunt said (JR or Cornette or something) sometimes you're booked to lose to see how you react to losing. Exactly the same principle here. If you can't make a loss work just as well (if not better) than a win you're in the wrong place.
