[The Monster]

I only got up to the Tank/Dennis match so that's what I'll review up to for now cause this is a lot of content for one sitting (it's generally good content though, so I'll definitely finish it later).

 

Fuck The Steve! His entrance is immaculate and I hate him for that. He was able to tell me exactly how to put it together and it sounded perfect with that live version of his song and all. If I ever find a new song that I like and can find a live version, I'm ripping your idea off! Good to see him back, better to hit him with a clothesline before he knew what was going on!

 

A kid that's too sick to even watch TV may as well just be killed.....

 

It's a good thing Abbott stole that sandwich, he may need it in his corner next week.

 

The Table of 9 was so much fun to write (really to read, cause I only wrote a few lines myself). You all are just mean, best line was probably Fuck the Handicapped! They're straight bitches, all of them.

 

Xander, do you know how much Jay spends to give the staff medical benefits? Do you know how high his premiums are about to go with this shit. You had to have dropped that poor man on his head at least 15 times. I don't know if OCW has started doing concussion research, but for our public image, we may at least want to look into it.

 

Madison comes in complaining she's still not 100% and still wins the match, what a boss. In my personal opinion, I think the Wanda CAW looks weird. Something about her face makes me cringe when I see her, forgot to mention that at The Clash.

 

Bray S. Spur: You can write, so you have that going for you. I like your attire. But all of that aside, I abhor the fact that you've made yourself a Jericho clone in every other way. You can draw inspiration from someone without becoming them. You use his theme, tron, entrance motion, and finisher. Makes me disinterested.

 

KD be burryin' bitches!

 

Dylan Graves: I don't think Lonely train makes the greatest theme song. I tend to stay away from things that were used on a WWE soundtrack though. I don't know why, they've just always felt off limits to me, low hanging fruit I guess.

 

This fake Jimmy Henry is fantastic! He really knows how to push the product, he's a go-getter! I say we keep him.

 

I thought for a second that fake Jimmy was actually going to win. I'm VERY glad he didn't. Would have made Joe look bad. I like Joe's look a lot, the facial hair is a nice touch. I'd maybe ditch the jacket because several others are wearing it, but it does fit you.

 

When Aries went as far as to turn the bag inside out to get to the crumbs I started cracking up.

 

Tre's getting shit on by his own team. To be fair, I still think he's an inside job! Also, I swear, I thought there was an actual ceremony at some point too. Cap and gown, official OCW diploma to frame and put on your wall, the whole 9. I think those things existed in the past, but with Mr. Sensation's financial troubles, and his apparent drinking habit, they got nixed.

 

Not sure if Austin wrote the drive through RP or if Matt did, but you all are doing a fantastic job. It's fun to read what Sid's doing now, and I didn't think I'd say that any time soon. Enjoy that diet water you fucking fat-shaming schmuck!

 

I liked the concept between the B-17/Kass interaction. I thought that the post-match RP about it was well written, but I thought that the in match execution was a little weak. I would have preferred if he had actually walked out on the ramp or something, just cut a little of his entrance in there instead of just the shot of the crowd. But either way, it led to a good RP.

 

Dejsus! It's our Savior (and false prophet. You know that if he comes back as a regular, and Cody takes control of his own head again, we'll have three people all claiming to be the true Son of God. That's just messy. Plus we all know the real answer anyway). Pretty sure he learned finances from Mugen:

 

"ARTIST: Listen here, what’s the Artist’s is the Artist’s and what’s yours is the Artist’s, you feel the Artist?" - This sounds a lot like the Income Funnel.

 

Tank vs Dennis:

 

I know a lot has been said about this already, and most of what I'll say is probably rehashing anyway, but this is a hobby we all put a ton of time into so I'm going to indulge and say some shit anyway because I'm invested in this mess.

 

I didn't think that the start of the match was bad, I thought it looked decent for what they were going for and I kind of like that they didn't go through the chain grappling stage, because Tank doesn't look like much of a chain grappler so I think that part worked out for the better.

 

His moveset is so powerful! You just need to tone that down, a few other people have been asked to recently as well, namely Xander. I know you said you were going to powerbomb him all over the ring, but I think most assume that's blowing smoke because when you actually do it, it just looks bad. I assume you're going to talk big, doesn't mean you have to actually follow through with it in the match when it looks bad.

 

But really this whole thing comes down to one rule, THE RULE: Finisher Rules (btw, this is a link). Hovering, reverse hovering, how many moves can be hit at a time, these are all rules whose meanings have eluded rookies for years now (I know, cause it took me months to grasp them). But the most important rule in this place is how and when a match can be finished. We even bolded that shit and put it in bright red text. IF YOU CANNOT GRASP THIS RULE WITHOUT HELP, YOU'RE LIKELY A LOST CAUSE AND YOU SHOULD NOT BE HERE! (see how I made it match the rule and everything!) Sometimes accidents happen. Sometimes you hit a finisher early because it was just a sig, or you hit the button by accident, it happens. But if you keep reading that page, it tells you, you redo the match. My first match back as The Monster, I was fighting Ace Angel and he went to hit a diving move on me when I was trying to get up. I tap all of the buttons when I get up normally, and wasn't even thinking about it, but he jumped right into my hand and I hit him with the OMG Chokeslam unintentionally. We IMMEDIATELY restarted the match. No one else knew it happened because the match never aired like that.

 

This brings me to what bugs me most about this: It's an unrealistic expectation that something like this be dealt with strictly in private. You (and others in similar situations before and after, myself included with some of my past thirstiness) allowed this to air. You submitted it on the show for everyone to see, so everyone saw it, and everyone went to town on it. That is 100% fair. The podcast was in bad taste to an extent, but again none of this would have happened if the rules were followed and the finishers weren't hit (finishers; plural, because it happened three times. How does that happen?!) or the match had been properly restarted (even at a later time since Tank had to go to work).

 

I understand that having vets around to talk to and learn from is helpful and it's something that turmoil doesn't have a whole lot of (after reading this thread I'm hopeful that Aries and Trance will be kind and put some extra effort into this), but that's not the only way to learn. OCW is, large in part, a watch and learn kind of activity. If you go through and you watch the matches you see FPR in action and you should be able to pick that up to a large extent. DM's are obviously easier to learn from, but as Trance has alluded to here if you play clean in a DM and then get thirsty when the camera starts rolling he can't fix that in a DM. In fact, that makes it all seem more deliberate, like you do know the rules but aren't employing them.

 

Everyone should be proactive with their experience here. If you feel like you have a question about something, you should ask someone. If that someone doesn't give you an answer or they gives you an answer that leaves you feeling like you don't understand what you asked about better, ask someone else. We've heard several times in the last few weeks that the vets on Xbox aren't doing enough or giving enough constructive criticism before going in on people. If you want constructive criticism, go ask, and if you've asked and gotten nothing, go ask someone else. But nine times out of ten, people aren't going to come to you, you need to be more proactive about it.

[The Steve]

Mugen, why would you wait to run the credit card? You had to know that Jay isn't that dumb, and would have canceled the card as soon as he noticed it was missing.

 

The Savage dinner...awesome!

 

The Steve returning...epic. All the e-wrestling podcasts out there had a special show just to talk about The Steve's return, & how much of a dick Sean is for ruining it.

 

Congrats, rooks that graduated.

 

 

I'm not even close to being done watching yet. I was skipping around the show on smoke breaks at work. I'll comment more later.

[K.Dangelo]

Wtfizzle is happening !? We give these turmoil monkeys some time on the flag ship and this is how we are repaid . Stop acting like sissies and fight ! If a MF wanna quit deuces ! I have got ragged tagged for most of my career but quit ! Cry , whine then bury a sissy ! No Fav 5 till I calm down !

[Parker]

Sooo..aside from the Turmoil horseshit...the Steve returned looking exactly like new look Jacob Trance :( they both go to the same hairdresser...

 

Any thoughts on The Messenger character? I feel he's an alt , but that means nothing, I like the look, reminds me of Illuminate.
