Riot 494

[Justin Jehst]

I know it's hella late but I just got back from a weekend away last night and been catching up on all the shows. Certified Greatness review to come too.

 

 

RUDO’s RIOT QUICK NOTE BREAKDOWN

 

 

After doing the CG breakdown I’m no longer going to review every single part of the show. I’ll do match reviews and plug in any RP’s I thought were significant or I liked, etc. Full reviews just take way too much time to put together, especially for a PPV.

 

 

 

+ The show started off with those involved in the controversial angle with the Womens title; this RP gave way to a new direction for the angle and will hopefully solve the dispute and get the division shook up a bit.

 

 

 

MATCH:

 

Billy Bones vs. Sasha Banks

 

Billy is just a badass looking chick, like, I’d want her on my side in a fight. There was a moment where I thought Rose wasn’t gonna even get a single yellow on Billy but by the end of the match it was down to the wire. Nice match and another win for Bones.

 

 

 

+ Rust vs. Jookie is still alive. Interesting to see how this impromptu tag team will fare in the invitational.

 

 

 

MATCH:

 

AC Cobra vs. Masuku

 

Masuku look like he gonna put a Japanese curse on your ass if you cross him. Or he’s boys with the girl from The Ring and the kids from The Grudge or some shit. AC’s entrance was a nice touch, made it look like he was pumped to finally be back in an OCW ring. These two fought all over the place before AC was able to pull out his top rope finish for the win.

 

 

 

+ Tobin Frost with a little history lesson. Always appreciate knowledge of past OCW events, bit of a lore buff. Let’s see how Tobin live up to his message from here out.

 

 

 

+ Ijitu’s arrival to the arena didn’t quite go as planned it would seem. Looking forward to seeing his first in ring appearance.

 

 

 

MATCH:

 

Dimsmore vs. Tyson Wagner

 

Battle of two big guys. Lots of high impact slams, strikes, and suplex’s. In a world where reversals are often used one after the other until someone has none left (I’m guilty of this myself), I felt like these two left their’s for key moments and it just made the match flow a lot better. Something I’m going to try and include in my matches going forward. My money was on Dimsmore but Tyson got the sneaky Powerbomb off to pin the B20 member.

 

 

 

+ Ayyyyyye, Capo tryna get with Stacy haha. Good on you. Also, if you got any auditions going for the film company, Jehst is looking for a leading man role ;)

 

 

 

+ Tag Champs have their challengers it would seem. Will Rust and Jookie put their rivalry aside to give themselves a chance to be champions in OCW?

 

 

 

+ Sean McGee goin on his anti-Sensation rant; seems to be an ongoing occurrence. Wouldn’t want to be in the firing line of that dumbbell.

 

 

 

MATCH:

 

Ryu Matsumoto vs. Mugen – Extreme Rules

 

KENDO STICK BATTLE! Alley-Oop table smash was friggin sweet, same with the top rope elbow drop/steel chair combo. Lots of great spots overall to be honest, match of the night for me. Mugen taps to the Rear Naked Choke after a huge battle.

 

 

 

+ I really wish this was a work – the first title I wanted to aim for was the Light Heavyweight title (not knowing it was an Xbox exclusive at the time) and I saw Tiberius’ cut out on the OCW site as that belts champion. I always wanted to eventually challenge for it but alas, I do not possess an Xbone-1.

 

 

 

Great show overall this week, some interesting post-Certified Greatness angles evolving. Looking forward to the following weeks to come.
