Riot 516

[B-17]

Most Are.

 

We have rookies on the back of milk cartons over on Turmoil.

[Tiberius Dupree]

The amount of times I laughed this show, kneesus christ you guys can entertain.

 

Dug the Main Event match, BIG WIN BOOBY!

 

KAT you nasty nag.

 

Nomad, big timing Stacey Clark was the real low blow.

 

That Bingo cameo!

 

Name dropping is such a mediogre strat.

 

Can't wait for Devils Night, even tho I so miss my Chill Faktor.

Nate and Tibby were referenced at least a dozen times and I was only responsible for two a piece.

 

You're getting Betelgeused.

[Valkyrie]

I'll review the show as long as you don't review my English

 

It’s not in order but I swear I’ve reviewed everything

 

 

The show opens with Doc and Everett. They are consistent with their RP which is good, they wrote something for every episode of Riot if I believe. Keep it up. I popped for the “weird flex but ok” line Doc wrote last Turmoil.

 

Code wants a piece of B17 but is B17 aware of this? Are this two ever going to settle their score? I want to see a closure to the best storyline in the history of efeds

 

Telos is convincing on the mic and he is very angry. He was already good at writing but now his partnership with Redacted Dillinger will benefit him for sure. Also I like the new caw's look.

 

Braddock vs Antonio

Very good FPR from Antonio. When Braddock whiffed the major he stood still and allowed him to grapple him again, some people would have just snap jabbed him. Braddock's fpr could use some work, multiple hovers and reverse hovers. A bump is a reset, you have to give space and allow your opponent to back away from you. The finish was already discussed on Discord.

 

Bourne Vs Steele

Damian changed appearance again, this time he's more heelish looking. Mistico wanders around the ringside area, he's probably bored or looking for a man with a horse head. Tyler had some potential on the sticks, but I don't think we are going to see him again.

 

 

Cort flexing like no tomorrow, but it's ok, he's allowed to.

 

Loooooong RP from Bobby. He's sad that C4 is now P4 and that his staff is clearly incompetent. Well if wrestlers don't get properly paid around here how can you expect staff members to be top of the line?

 

Rusty figured out that if you use curse words in a language that's not English, Jae is not going to censor them. Let's give it a try: Putain = Pute = Porca Puttana

 

 

 

Me Vs Kat

That was our comp match. It just happened. I asked staff and I was told to keep the match and work an angle around it. I'm sorry if you were expecting a five star classic

 

Crazy amount of details and effort was put in Telos/Dillinger storyline despite Dillinger being an alt. It should be noted.

 

Doc Telos

Solid match. Kinda hard to find someone to cheer for since they are both hard working rookies who constantly put effort in their RPs. FPR seemed on point to me as well. Doc wins but Telos is not affected too much in my opinion.

 

 

Spider steals Drago's smartphone and changes the password, but Drago realizes it's TTT. Does this mean that all of your other accounts share this same password? Interesting

 

The Clark Effect was missing

 

H2O Cobra

4 minutes for the entrances and 5 minutes for the actual match. Sigh. I like Cobra’s attire, there are a lot of other video games characters you could cosplay as and getting the assets from Google should be very easy. Think about it for you next match

Looks like KD and Harvey have had enough of Trash. I wonder if someone is going to join them

 

How to understand Quartz's RPs 101: if he has blue eyes then he's Ijitu Quartz which is the evil Quartz. If he has red eyes then he's Innes Quartz who is a little bit different. Hope this helped

 

I find these Drago Mugen interactions very funny but now I want to see P3 in action (or probably I've already seen them if I post this on Saturday)

 

TTT making fun of the legends in hopes of a Ortiz Vs Spider match? I doubt it's going to happen though

 

 

Bobby doesn't like trash and that's understandable. He doesn't like people dabbing either and that's even more understandable. I hope I'm not the only one who reads Corts RPs with Hulk Hogan's voice in my head lol

 

 

Quartz Mugen

Quartz was in control for most of the match, I thought he was going to win this but somehow Mugen managed to make a comeback. Very evenly matched. It boiled down to a kickout battle and Mugen won it.

 

 

 

Ghoul Priest Francis talks about snowflakes and Kassifixions. Mmmm…. Too bad Riot is TV 14 so we can't have that happening.

 

Cort Bobby

Definitely main event worthy, entertaining to watch and a lot closer than expected. I liked the finisher/signature reversals exchange at 14.00 despite some moonwalking, it was a neat spot. Cort got really good at the game, he was in control for most of the match but then he decided to waste his hard earned resil and it cost him

[Mr.Sensation]

Valk your english better than half the site!

Someone understands me!

[Quartz]

So here's this -

 

I spend almost 100% of my time here joking around and not taking myself seriously... But I noticed something interesting today.

 

I spent a good long while going through the forums archives today. Mostly to lul at our lord and savior Paul Pugh put dipshits in their place... but I noticed while going through old show threads... There is a hell of a lot more conversation in those threads.

 

I'll say this: Yeah, the hoots cleaned up the waste that lingered pre-discord and it's a better place these days without the constant arguing in the threads, but those guys had show discussion. I just think we have far too many damn good writers and content creators on a newer platform for their work to go un-noticed.

 

I don't know if it's Discord's fault, but if it is, it's pretty shitty because even conversation in there is lackluster to say the least. It's mostly banter. (I'm guilty of that too.)

 

For those of you love the OCW experience and enjoy it, it's great to see comments in the thread. I refresh all the time and I pop for reviews as much as I do shoes. ! Even if it's a few comments. It doesn't have to be a full show review. I'm fascinated (personally) by how others perceive not only MY angles, but the shows overall angles and atmosphere of the fed in general.

 

With what I read from people like Drago Cesar, Bobby Minio, Valk and others every week, it's criminal they don't get more recognition.

 

For those of you that only show up each week to look at yourself in the mirror - don't even bother commenting, because it would be forced. Hopefully those that do that are few and far between.

 

Just something I noticed today. Take it how you will.

 

OCW >

 

Review below.

[Quartz]

"NUT UP OR SHUT UP, OCW VETERAN!" basic review.

 

I feel like I'm too generic and positivist with my comments in these, so I'm giving you unfiltered this time. Fuck you.

 

- I am ecstatic to see Doc and Antonio putting their bare-feet forward in front of this rookie class. I feel like more constructive call outs would make the rookies notice their mishaps, but if nothing else, just watch the Uncrowned every week. RP EVERY WEEK ROOKIES. I have a basic understanding of their characters. They already have the catchy entrance and the lovable face appeal, which we're lacking on Riot. Keep up the good work.. If I have to be negative.. I'd say reach out to some of your OCW brothers for some co-op RPs or feuds. It's a slow build, so nothing bad but I'd love to see what Antonio would say reacting in a conflicting situation. You guys do the English thing so well and it's why you're kicking ass early in the season.

 

- Telos! Another rookie big balling. As someone with inside information (being his manager and all), i'd like to see more intrigue and more interest in OCW and everything it entails. The short RPs DO work for the character, so keep up that consistency. Hoping for more communication and ass-kicking in the future. Rookies doing great work early.

 

Bourne vs Steel

I give shit to Bourne all the time (and will never stop doing so) but for a kid as young as he is, he has been able to maintain a level of composure since coming into OCW as Bourne (and not Frankie G.). I wish you would fucking write more. You're one of the better young talents on the roster stick skill wise (which is demonstrated in the match) and you ruin it by being a lazy fuck. As of this moment, I know stuff is coming on Turmoil so I'm looking forward to it!

 

The match itself was about as interesting as a DM could be, especially with Tyler Steel, who had potential as a rookie but is clearly not interested in OCW and has his foot in other feds, so a nice cameo here, but more of a job for Damian. Good win and good FPR!

 

- Code, your RPs are short and don't tell me much. I will take writing over not writing though. Code is super active in the ring and anytime I get a look into the character, I'll take what I can get.

 

Antonio Everett vs Braddock

Braddock caught me right in the lip last time with his crazy person Clark Effect interview, then he let me down again. Disappointing because I actually WANT to know who he is. Oh well.

 

What's more disappointing is the misunderstanding of FPR and ethics. It's your 3rd match, there should be no more hovering/reverse hovering/lack of bump understanding. You bump, you back away, you re-engage. It happened all match, but Antonio being a soldier, fought on and made it work. We already know what happened with your new move. Weird end, something must have happened that you needed to edit, but it works for me. Antonio continues to show his in-ring prowess!

 

- Bobby Minio will never cease to amaze in the RP department. As someone that's increasingly interested in OCW lore and background over the last 14 years, I love shit like this. References to other OCW storylines that don't necessarily involve him + inclusion of other characters connect him to the universe in a way that few others do. Reminds the reader that you're in OCW RIOT, not just pulled into the wonderful Bobby Minio purgatory. I get rock hard for Minio RPs every review, but get used to it. He's that damn good.

 

- Heeeeeeyoooooo! The masked man is Telos! Surprise! Like I said, would like to see Telos take more initiative but he's been great so far regardless. I fucking love the new look (that was all him) but I hate that you don't care enough to fix your skin color condition you got going on there for your new face texture.

 

The redesign works to me, because his character has never really had that cult leader appeal. He's been more of a straight forward ANGRY heel so this casual look works better than a faux Kane

 

Telos vs Doc Green

Unlike Antonio Everett matches, I just hate watching Doc Green's matches. I've mentioned his constant rushing in previous reviews, and TO BE FAIR, he seemed to not do it as much this game, but I just don't like watching matches where one or both sides do running moves a strong majority of their knockdowns. Just a preference. That being said, Doc is DAMN good on the sticks and I wish nothing but the best for him because he's putting in a lot of effort. As for Telos, he needs a better understanding of the game. He doesn't seem to grasp damage optimization and backpays, which hurts him BAD in the long game. I hope everyone is enjoying the Dillinger addition to his character, I know I am.

 

- Drago flies under the radar for how much work he does, but he really goes after it. I don't know if I was in the dark last season but I just recall him being a relatively silent ass-kicker. Now he is a person. He's a wacky Eastern European with Mugen, but he's way more impactful this season to me personally now. I recognize that this COULD be due to my direct conflict with him.

 

- We haven't had a power ranking in a while, but I would THINK that Cort Marshall would be at the top of it (even above Kassidy or Trance). Cort's character LAST season to me anyways, was boring and overplayed and I honestly couldn't tell if he was a heel or a face. This season he has been able to turn that Patriot Act into an incredible push. That booking vs KD at the Riot after Anny was one of the best booker moves I've seen in OCW. It helped the fed as a whole.

 

- Speaking of which, this unlikely face pairing of Harvey and KD should definitely go somewhere. I really hope it does. Harvey has kinda fallen off the face of the planet for me. Last season he was at the top of the company and now he's low-mid card in terms of draw. Doc is one of my role models in OCW so I hope to see H2O back at the top once Doc's schedule evens out.

 

- Valk transitions so easily as a serious face to comedic points. This was just a small RP, but knowing that Valk made this happen as a way to explain the awkward end the comp match should give you more respect for her.

 

- Oh great, Quartz is crazy again. "GET BACK TO THE WACKY TTT STUFF"

 

AC Cobra vs H2O

Now this is what I'm talking about! H2O showing out! A pretty thorough ass-kicking from start to finish, AC Cobra continues to display week after week that his lack of understanding about FPR and WWE 2K are crippling him in terms of success. He is doing a super fun job of being engaged and developing AC into a human being this season with RPs, but his consistently wasting damage opportunities and generally looking lost between the ropes... Happens every week. H2O took advantage and wrecked havoc. AC still won't talk to me after 2 straight months. If you're reading this...

- Not the best P3 I've ever watched, but since Anny 14, none of the P3 segments have failed to make me laugh. I always considered both of these characters to be serious/dangerous characters, but their commitment to the change is very convincing and most of all - hilarious.

 

- NEW COUNTRY WILL REIGN SUPREME. WHERE MY NEW COUNTRY GUYS AT?

- Minio's character is quickly becoming tops in terms of a draw. He's piling up wins as well, which makes me even more excited to watch this main event. Bobby usually doesn't take himself too seriously, but recently this P O W E R F U L Boob is fun to watch. No stranger to long RPs, I'm sure he is aware that could be draining for people... Not me - but I'm positive others are seeing it. Either way, two of my favorite characters collaborating and building each other in the process. Awesome stuff.

 

Mugen vs Quartz

I was shook from the ground up when he kicked out of the Black Phoenix. I never recovered. Embarrassing loss to Mugen who has ADMITTEDLY stated he didn't have much experience in 2K19, whereas I've played the shit out of the game. Still an honor to share a ring with Mugen. Will be a bigger honor when I beat him at the PPV.

 

- Valk vs Heather is probably my #1 match I'm looking forward to at Devil's Night. A classic example of how to build a feud, these two have done a great job working in original angles (together and alone), incorporating other OCW wrestlers, unique RPs. I hope Valk wins.

 

- Francis going AT Nomad. I don't know him well enough to speak on his situation, but I'll say this... as a fan, #1 contender doing 2 bland RPs since Anny and doing hardly anything to build the hype for DN has disappointed me.

 

Cort vs Bobby Minio

Awesome match. The bookers deserve real credit for making this the ME. Equally talented on the sticks, it was a match that you NEVER knew who was going to win, which isn't often the case in OCW. This match told a great story as well, two characters I love and having their RP in the back of my mind the whole time was the icing on the cake. I sure hope nothing terrible happens to Cort on Turmoil! *wink*

 

There you go, you cretins.
