Riot 508: THIS IS AMERICA

[Jacob Trance]

Ashley Moore vs Karissa Dawn

 

Ashley might be the thickest girl on the roster, but my god those boots cannot be safe.

 

Nice DDT from Ashley off the middle. Should have just went for Karissa when she fed up onto the ropes, she can reverse like a big girl.

 

She could pin me like that any day... Karissa goes for her finisher but has a stroke instead. All that backing up doesn't do Moore any good and Dawson sneaks the comeback win.

 

Decent match.

Haha haha haha haha haha haha Ricky is dead haha haha haha haha haha

Cort Marshall vs Telos

 

America, fuck yeah! Cort gets a ropebreak without touching the ropes. Another nice jumping DDT but it looks like the bandwidth has went down the rabbit hole or has went to Space. Drago's old finisher there as a transition move. Quite like Cort's attire, not too sure on Telos. Cort eats what feels like his 40th spinebuster.

 

Telos' first finisher is a blatant FPR break. You have followed up on a knockdown with a ground grapple, should be a reset from there, not a wakeup taunt into your finisher.

 

Telos picks up the win, but it's tainted. Match should have been redone.

[H20_]

Telos with the victory over Cort!

 

I popped!!!! Good job!!!

Cort Marshall vs Telos

 

Telos' first finisher is a blatant FPR break. You have followed up on a knockdown with a ground grapple, should be a reset from there, not a wakeup taunt into your finisher.

 

Telos picks up the win, but it's tainted. Match should have been redone.

 

I was made aware of the FPR break last night, as neither Cort or I noticed as it happened during the match. If we did, the match definitely would've been redone. As is though, gotta move forward with that blemish on my record and be more aware of moments like that.

Baker vs Shephard

 

Owch, Shepherd scores zero damage after a major and loses a reversal to boot. Baker looks like a mess, but I love Shep's attire.

 

Dat glowing hand tho. Tombstone into the BME > Botchiest Moonsault Ever. Nice little kick reversal encounter. Very nice finish!

[Quartz]

ah quartz, you see how he was comfortable in the ring and pushing you with no reversals and you had 4? gotta make him respect you, H2No would NEVER do that in the ring with me. OOOOOF ran right into the fancy corner spinning dropkick. AYE, you hit a fin first, good try but dem stupid girl high kicks are the worst.

 

Also you gotta add fired up Quartz, saw you hit your Quartz elbow sig and still only had 1 finisher. No Bueno

 

 

Pretends I held on to the reversals on purpose and didn't just wiff on every attempt.

 

Kass stay drinking a bottle of Shade2O over there but it’s all good. I AM at an advantage Jay being that I’m always in The World Heavyweight Champions Head lol.

 

But no I seen that Quartz was holding onto his reversals like they were gold so hell yeah I forced him to use them. I want him to more confident in the ring. He held back compared to his previous matches in my opinion.

Pretends I was holding back and had control at any point

[H20_]

My man Baker walk away with the victory!

 

He carries his own light in the palm of his hand!

RUDO’s RADTASTIC RAYGUN RIOT REVIEW:

 

+ H20 and Quartz throw shade at each other to build their match tonight. I wish more people did these kinds of simple interactions, even if it’s not for a feud but just for their match. It makes the viewer want to actually watch the match and see who wins. Promo’s 101. I’m sure there’ll be a few more coming throughout the show.

 

+ Lost in Translation – B17 vs. Ligermask. I love when RIOT guys and Turmoil guys RP together, it just sort of makes the whole fed feel like it’s not separated just because of the brand. Mmmm…Tamales.

 

+ Here we go, another promo for a match on the card; Cort handlin’ his bidness. Looking forward to him vs. Telos, seems like a good match up skill-wise. SUGAR RUSH! New tag team name for anybody who wants to use it.

 

MATCH:

Karissa Dawson vs. Ashley Moore

 

Great showing from Moore against a vet handler. The kick out at the end of the DDT 2 count was clutch as fuck, had me on edge, thought the rook was gonna take the upset win. Overall a pretty competitive match, really liked watching it, and it wasn’t too long. Sick Kick for the win. BOOM!

 

+ Ryu mixed up in some strange plot; no surprises there haha. I dunno if this Cyborg fella is from a past angle but I’m intrigued to see what he looks like and how this whole thing is gonna play out.

 

+ Coolidge seems like he’s gonna do what he wants, when he wants. And with a frame like Lesnar I’d say that’s probably how it’s gonna go down.

 

+ Archer and Lee make their presence known and Trance falls right into their trap! Sid Harrison! Trance took a beating, hopefully he’ll be recovered enough to exact revenge on Sid tonight.

 

+ I don’t trust this Dennis guy. His client I’m not sure about, but until I see action from Tayy I won’t know if he’s Jedi or Sith. I am definitely looking forward to his debut after weeks of build-up.

 

MATCH:

Cort Marshall vs. Telos

 

This match was fuckin awesome. It was a slow build to 2x finisher kickouts (one a piece) and then when Telos had kicked out of the second finisher from Cort, the Marshall made me mark out with an IRL OMG when he took to the skies with that cross body to the outside. I don’t think that would have had the same impact on me if it happened at the beginning or even the midway mark, as this seemed like Cort going outside the gameplan having been unsuccessful with his last two attempts to put Telos away. And then Telos hitting the Endgame for the win was devastating (cos I want the heel to lose, obvs); such a brutal finisher too, suits him. Grats to Telos. I didn't actually notice the FPR break until I read the comments on here and rewatched it. Something to note going forward, sure it'll get cleaned up.

 

+ Kass does not know de wae Ryu has been taken by the Cyborg.

 

+ Tyson Wagner is BACK! And he’s on a mission to get either revenge on Telos or at least a snack to feed his hunger in the ring!

 

+ Scumciety are coming for those Tag Titles and putting the whole division on notice. Now with a sanctioned match against Ricky, will Wrex duplicate his efforts against the Dragon, or will Ragnarath even the score?

 

MATCH:

Anthony Baker vs. Shepard

 

First time seeing Shepard in a singles match in a while from memory. Brah, that AJ Styles glitch hahaha, surely that could have been cut out? Funny, though. Plenty of counter battles to be had in this one, was fun to watch the back and forth wars. Haven’t seen a lot of either guy so it’s been fun getting familiar with their movesets. The end was rad; a close call with Anthony Baker almost getting the 3 count call, then a counter and a Bakers Cut to end the match.

 

THE CLARK EFFECT w/ Damian Bourne

The main thing I took away from this is Damian is still as arrogant and cocky as he was before interview. He faces a veteran CPT Alex this week on Turmoil so let’s see if he can hang with him before allowing his currently delusional mindset to begin to manifest into any kind of truth.

 

+ Lost in Translation 2: IQ Test Edition. Again, more humour between these two, great to see. It’s also refreshing to see Ligermask on “TV” as I hardly ever see him (I know he’s an alt, but he’s a champ).

 

+ Shep and Cort talk love, life, and losses. Ok… just losses. Can AWOL make a comeback in the tag division and get those straps back? Also “train my kick-out shoulder”; gold.

 

+ RYU is in deep trouble here. This some MIB shit, wiping memories. Then implanting new ones? If these crazy dudes are successful, what kind of RYU will emerge this time?

 

MATCH:

Quartz vs. H20

 

For a while there it looked like H20 might gradually start running away with this one, but Quartz, who has been on a mission to get himself up the rankings of RIOT, had a brilliant come back, even getting frustrated and powerbombing H20 on the apron. When he hit that fin near the end I thought that might seal it, but H20’s resilience was able to save him and give him enough breathing room to put Quartz away. Great showing by Quartz, even in losing the match.

 

+ B-17 is all over this SHOE! So is Cort! Two of my favourite RPer’s in one segment? Bodacious, bro. The hospital has been a great scene for B-17 to roleplay with a host of people in the company. As for Cort not being a shitty human, I’m sure Shep will keep him in line if he begins to stray.

 

MATCH:

Sid Harrison vs. Trance

 

Cracks me up the show has dookieshoe replacing swears but Harrison’s theme is riddled with cursing haha. Nice quick match that showcased both mens physicality in the ring. Great clash of styles, props to the bookers (or the guys themselves if it was self-booked) for having these two particularly face off. The Frog Splash was able to connect but couldn’t keep Harrison down for the 3. Despite an effort to come back, the Codebreaker put him down for the count.

 

+ Code Jackman was gifted a great angle by Wrex with this box thing. I hope Jackman keeps up the crazy persona and carries it over to the weeks after his time in a box is up.

 

+ AC Cobra calling out MJF, who makes his way out. Classic fight build up, then heel bails leaving the crowd hot. I’m looking forward to seeing this match at Savage Lands for sure.

 

+ Valk/H20/Heather interaction. Is H20 going to turn face again at some point, or is he luring Valk into a false sense of security, playing mind games for an eventual in-ring encounter with Heather? I’m not sure, but I will say, I am intrigued.

 

+ Quartz RP. Some great imagery and storytelling in this one, giving a background insight into the history and mind of Ijituzukiminoru-goku Quartz. Enjoyed reading that one.

 

+ Kass is on a mission of his own now that he knows Ryu is definitely missing. Will the Dark Master find his fasha before his memory is wiped and replaced?!

 

MATCH:

Wrex vs. Ricky – Extreme Rules

 

Some brutal spots in this one; the straight-jacket German onto the chair was nasty as fuck. Ricky was getting pretty heavily bodied for the first 10mins then seemed to kick it up a gear, staving off the announcer table beat down and hitting a few moves on the outside. Was a bit iffy for a moment but then he put Wrex through the table, AND hit the Twist of Fate, which Wrex kicked out of! Ricky’s throat will be broken after that chair stomp! BY GAWD KANG! It’s all over with the Mercy Kill! Then the dirty buzzard, Code Jackman, comes out to lay down more punishment! Good match, lots of variety in terms of the hardcore spots, went all over the place, ultimately finished it off in the ring. Great job guys.

 

MOTN: It’s a tie between Main Event and Cort/Telos for me. Both were awesome to watch even with the FPR break.

 

RPOTN: I’m gonna go with Quartz little flash back piece. It was different and well written, I enjoyed that.

 

There were a heap of good RP’s and angles happening on this show. The champs had their stuff going on throughout the show, putting in work. Matches were good lengths and entertaining, really good showing from everybody, no duds. All in all a solid show for me.

 

Ricky in the ME and no RP? Come on man, just a few bars?

 

And shout out to those working 3 characters and still putting in work.
