Also shootout to all the guys in the 3 way match. Malu is the OCW's Jeff Cobb and Mistico is one my favorite guy to watch. Taiga is really good at dictating the pace. Nice Work.

In order to optimize safety, Mugen limited Ricky's offense.

My folks came over and surprised me for my bday weekend so didn't have as much time to get this out or watch the show.

 

RUDO’s SMDFTB SASSY SUPER TURMOIL SHAKEDOWN:

 

+ We start with the purple brands champion, #AustinLee, bringing his newly won championship to the crowd for a bit of a show off. #flexin-on-em’. Then out comes Archer, feigning injury, luring the crowd into a sense of sympathy, until revealing the hoax and drawing the ire of the crowd. Heel shit. “Fries to Go”, LOL! Heel shit. So Archer has his own title now? EnTITLEment at its finest. New Era of Turmoil? Bring it on.

 

+ Dragana and Johnny Law drop some history bombs to build up to Dragana’s goal of facing Sentai Hare. She’ll need to take out Flojo tonight to advance. Sentai vs. Dragana is destiny, BAYBAY!!!

 

+ H20 with another great promo, gracing the purple brand with his Good Light. Looking forward to seeing him against Cort Marshall later in the show.

 

MATCH:

Kass © vs. KD

 

I saw the timestamp and went “JESUS, 37mins?!”, but I don’t think I ended up skipping any of it. Seeing how much damage KD took in the first ten minutes I thought Kass was gonna run away with it but KD crawled back to make it more even as the match progressed. Some awesome spots in this one including the announce table brainbuster, leg drop off the ladder onto the chair across the throat of KD, and KD slamming Kass’ head down onto the chair with the Muryo Slam (I can’t remember what it’s called so it’s called the Muryo Slam now, deal with it). That sub finish was fuckin knarly, never seen that move before.

 

+ I agree with Kass on this one, should be using the interviewers names by now. Apart from that, the RP was fun to read. Should have been a couple “dookieshoe” replacements in there but what ya gonna do? Looking forward to seeing if Flojo can bring some of that magic back to the ring later.

 

+ KD has a son?! Oh damn! Wonder if he’ll be a face or a heel in this sitch.

 

+ Kass deservedly proud of himself after fending off KD. Ryu wins in alternate timelines. you can’t stop him because you can’t stop time unless you have a level 9 spell slot and you’re a wizard Harry.

 

+ Cort/H20 meet up before they face off tonight. H20 as always being an arrogant slimeball, while Cort just chills and throws cheeky jabs at the LHW champ. I’m hoping Cort can step up against the champ, it would put him in a really good place on RIOT; definitely has the potential.

 

+ This RP with Cheryl and Danny Boyd was great as it showed a peek into a more vulnerable and caring side of Cheryl before she returned to her self-obsessed self by the end of the RP. It will be interesting to watch how her character evolves in the coming weeks.

 

MATCH:

Cort vs. H20

 

FUCK YEAAAHH!! That new Cort attire/entrance is lit AF as the kids say these days. Loving the new look and music. And does H20 have new music too? This match was so damn good, it was basically a counter battle the whole time up until the finish. Corts moveset has that very 80’s vibe to it, it’s rad as hell. And H20 seemed to be doing more flippy shit than usual, or maybe I’m not remembering that well. In any case, this was one of the best matches I’ve seen in a while from the back and forth, inside/outside flow, well timed taunts and generally keeping me immersed. The final counter off the sig into the Superkick was so good too, and even though Cort lost I still felt like both men came off looking strong.

 

+ Valkyrie RP. So she’s still a little banged up but seems like she’s gonna recover, seeing as she was able to get up and get a can of Coke. I’m sure her eventual in ring return will get a huge pop from the crowd.

 

MATCH:

Flojo vs. Dragana

 

Really enjoyed this one. Honestly was way closer than expected; Flojo has really improved a lot in ring and it’s showing in her matches against top tier opponents. I like that Flojo has unorthodox moves in her moveset, it really helps set her apart from the other ladies in the division. Dragana, in the end, 2stronk and picks up the win with a cool little finishing spot.

 

+ This Ashley Moore RP did two things for me. Confirmed the character is a bitch and put over her DDT finisher. With Echo in the background, I wonder if they’ll end up feuding.

 

+ Flojo looks forward to a rematch someday; so do I.

 

+ A lot going on in this RP, main thing though, Cheryl and Riley’s argument/mini-feud is apparently over, as long as they can work together and not clash again. After the make up talk, it seems like Riley’s words of encouragement have lit a fire under Cheryl.

 

+ CLARK EFFECT – I was in this so I’ll leave it to others to comment.

 

+ Nick Bates and Benji Moore trade words in a build up to their match. Haven’t seen Bates wrestle in a minute so will be interesting to watch.

 

MATCH:

OCW Pride Championship

Taiga vs. Malu vs. Mistico

 

I must admit, Mistico held his own in this match against two veterans on the sticks. Malu is a dang beast, hefty motherfucker with spin kicks that I could only imagine feeling like getting punched by an angry Mark Hunt. As for the match, I felt it flowed pretty well with all three guys trading spots/move combos. That missed shooting star press to the outside looked like it hurt; ouchies. Thought Malu was gonna get DQ’d with that chair shot but didn’t realise it was No DQ. Good match by all, but no one kicks out of Malu’s POWERSlam.

 

+ Wrex making the stipulations for the match with Jackman? I didn’t realise the homeless homeboy had that much pull. If you got the clout, may as well use it to your advantage I guess haha. Plus, there’s no way that agent is fucking with Wrex.

 

+ The 0.5% make another appearance. So Aerith match next week, and Karissa vs. Stixx? I can dig that.

 

+ Damian Bourne: first RP I’ve seen from the guy. Things I learned about his character; he’s an abrasive, entitled asshole. He’s confident, but probably to a fault, making challenges to legends and champions. He does not value tag titles as much as other titles, which is a shame. Perhaps he should face some tag team division wrestlers to test his mettle.

 

+ Mistico seems to be pretty peeved he lost his title, showing a more aggressive side of his character. It wasn’t clear until the last leg of the match who was going to win. Next match you get, Mistico, keep your opponent in the ring; don’t let him leg it up the ramp with your title. And don’t try and put your opponent away until it looks like their on their last legs. Ok, too many leg references, I’ll stop now.

 

+ JackMo speaks was hilarious. JackMo drank straight from the cow, and he turned out just fine. That’s a great way to promo without having to write anything; so to those who never put content up for shows, or those who put in the minimum, you can do like JackMo and KD and do a video RP so no writing is necessary, if that is what’s stopping you. This one was great, using the face replacing filter. JackMo has the FI, so when will he cash in?!

 

+ Jackman and Tay with words for the tag division. Any time you boys want it, Hollywood Money is ready! And Code is still relentless in mocking Wrex… All I can say is keep your head on a swivel in that match later cos he’s probably going to throw everything including the kitchen sink at you; and I mean literally throw things at you.

 

MATCH:

Karissa vs. Stixx

 

Ah, so from earlier reading I thought this was happening next week, but it seems the opening was meant for this show. Loved the catch off the tope rope dive - that was cool. Pretty even match, I don’t think I’ve ever seen these two handlers play each other before so that made it interesting as well. The end sequence was great, countering Cheryl, taunting to get up, then hitting the running fin for the win.

 

+ HM segment, will let others comment.

 

+ Valkyrie RP: some creepy guy who I thought was a weird rape-o coming in to do some molests, actually turned out to be someone Valk knows…maybe? Wasn’t very clear so I guess we’ll find out in the coming weeks.

 

MATCH:

SAFETY FIRST

Ricky vs. Mugen

 

Mugen straight out the gate with the cultural appropriation headdress. The SJW’s will be swarming Sensations office any time now. Fuck this match was unsafe, but holy shit it was fun to watch. So many weapon spots I can’t list them all, but a couple of my favs were Mugen’s counter neckbreaker onto the ladder, Mugen missing the senton on the outside onto the ladder, and the Japanese table not breaking (“I AM THE TABLE!”). If that top rope arm drag sent Ricky onto the steel steps I was gonna start a “holy shit” chant on the train. With Ricky battered and bruised, Mugen puts him away with the fin and butt drops the table for good measure.

 

+ CJ, the nice guy he is, perks up the still disgruntled Cheryl, but gets snapped by his sister. And after Riley and Cheryl had made up earlier, perhaps this will create another gap in their friendship?

 

MATCH:

MAIN EVENT – Loser Lives in a Box for 30 Days

Wrex vs. Code Jackman

 

Again, this was another one I thought was more evenly contested than I had thought it might be, but Code held his own in this one against one of the top Turmoil talents. From the get go Wrex was out for blood, chasing Code down wherever he could, bringing weapons into the fray, and hitting him in the nuts. Both men had timely counters during the bout but I felt Code left some moves on the table in places after them; punch his face man! The pin after the announce table break was telling; Wrex is not done yet. Ladder powerbomb; the pain continues for Jackman. Able to mount some return offence, Jackman begins to level the health playing field, but it isn’t enough to stop a return comeback from Wrex, who cheekily steals Code’s fin for the win. Who the heck is that helping Wrex take out Jackman?!

 

MOTN: for me, personally it was Cort vs. H20, I just felt the flow was awesome and it was immersive as fuck, which I like when watching these matches.

 

Thanks to anyone who helped put the show together.

[Benji Moore]

Enjoyed the feedback/input, was very agreeable.

[El Místico]

Thanks to the guys that said they liked my character and to Jehst talking about how I did in my match. I thought I had it when I hit Malu with the Superkick though lmao

[Damian Bourne]

Exactly what I was going for with my character, thanks for the feedback Jehst.

Love your reviews Jehst

 

Is that new music by H2O? The answer is yes. This new theme is heel-ish! The other one is uppidy too fan favorite feel to it. As far as his move set is concerned those flipping moves has always been part of his arsenal. As I become a better handler I’m learning to use a wider range of moves for entertaining purposes of course. BUT I have changed some flips due to his attitude change. I’m always thinking ahead to keep H2O fresh. On the flip side I don’t want to change too much and mess up the foundation of who he is..oh and

I thought so (re: music). As for the moves, I'm the same way, trying to use more of my moveset in matches rather than just grapples and strikes from the front.
