Cody Storm Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 They aren't even close to the end of the story, but if you're not interested you don't need to pay attention. I'm OK with that, and I like how the stories progressing thus far. Plus I'm not controlling them. If you knew who they were it'd make more sense to you I think. 1
Pugh Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I'm going to say something that makes me feel physically ill. Trance is impressing me at the moment. No longer trolling, and currently carrying the 280lbs of General Deadweight to a somewhat entertaining feud. Long may it continue (I'll give it til May) 2 No.
Pugh Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Plus I'm not controlling them. If you knew who they were it'd make more sense to you I think. Its not that it doesn't make sense, its that as a viewer, they've not made a big enough impact in 2 weeks for me to care. Last week they threw Tobin through a table - massive impact, this week they just kinda... were there. So last week, if I thought "OMG i wonder who these are", this week I'm thinking "So we know they're Cody's lap dogs, and Tobin has already overcome them". You can only sell "Who is under the mask" as long as the actions are interesting. I don't think they were this week. I'm more than willing to let it develop or whatever, I'm just expressing my opinion. Now: Why is nobody hating on Suda for never defending... he never defends. Why is Trance entertaining? Why has nobody noticed that Leonheart phones it in every week? Why is Our Hero still inside? When will Drago catch his prey? When will I run out of movies to rip off? Find out this week on the desk (or discuss here obviously) No.
Bobby Minio Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 They aren't even close to the end of the story, but if you're not interested you don't need to pay attention. I'm OK with that, and I like how the stories progressing thus far. Plus I'm not controlling them. If you knew who they were it'd make more sense to you I think. It's honestly not about being interested or not interested, it's sort of something that people have nitpicked about in wrestling and storytelling for a looong time. You build up a mystery and lead it to the payoff. Not sure if you're an active WWE viewer, but one of the few things people credit WWE for doing right is the Shield. Originally they were helping Punk protect his title, but they were never affiliated to him. If anything, Punk's manager Heyman had hired them behind Punks back, which was one of the seeds of the two splitting up and leading to Punk's face turn down the line. The Shield was then bought out by the Authority, who used them as enforcers for a while. In addition, the Wyatt family has been used in a similar mysterious fashion. There's a lot of debate about the Wyatts, but their motives and intentions have largely remained a mystery for almost their entire time in WWE. They've made reference to carrying out orders for someone else, Wyatt specifically said "The devil made me do it!" as he attacked Punk and Daniel Bryan, two wrestlers the Authority were trying to keep down. Then, when the Shield began beefing with the Wyatts, Triple H came out and tried to tell the Shield not to take that fight against the Wyatts, which the Shield quickly disagreed with, leading to them becoming more of a tweener stable and less affiliated with the Authority, all while leaving tiny seeds that the Wyatts could be working for the Authority, without blowing the proverbial load. A slow build is a great way to build interest and intrigue. That's all Pugh was trying to say. You can really be more effective with a storyline by plotting it out longer, and not just for the reader, but for YOU, the writer, because it gives you more to do naturally without having to force it or squeeze it out, or worst case scenario, blow your load or diminish interest and then stand around wondering where to go. Why is nobody hating on Suda for never defending... he never defends. I'd call him out on it in character but I don't want to put anyone to sleep. Why is Trance entertaining? Because he finally went all in on that character and his turn and he fucking rules now. Why has nobody noticed that Leonheart phones it in every week? No one can tell because he removed everyone from any form of social contact. Why is Our Hero still inside? He's terrified of the ONE MAN REVOLUTION. When will Drago catch his prey? He should probably start hunting super heavyweights, I think Tyga is going to run circles around him. #CARDIO When will I run out of movies to rip off? Jay will run out of OCW steam first. http://ocwfed.tv/recapppv/Awards%202k18/UpdateOTY18.png
Cody Storm Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I've seen some of those angles, I do pay a little attention here and there. But I don't necessarily want to do that. And if you knew who the masked men were, which you don't, that wouldn't make any sense at all anyway. I hope by the end I'll have people's interest, but if not all I can do is try. But I'm going to try it my way, not necessarily how you all tell me you want it done because that's not fun for me. 1

Parker Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I thought Hardcore title was defended every week? Has that been stopped now since the merge? And Cut-Throat hasn't even fought yet..why would he get a title shot over established wrestlers? http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/5774/sig2uq.jpg 2 x Hardcore Champion (Longest defending OCW champ,19 defences) 1 x NA Champion 1 x Pride Champion 1 x TV Champion 2 x OCW World Heavyweight Champion F.I Winner 2012 MOTN vs Leonheart @ Wrestlution 7 'Don't worry about no one else, hows my hair look' - Tiberius Dupree 'Wipe you ass and go to bed' - Sensation to B17

Matsuda is the Super Junior Triple Crown Hardcore champion, and that title is FOR PAY PER VIEW ONLY! Except next week. 1
