I don't mean to be that guy, I apologize.

 

Keith Hendrix, killer theme, killer entrance, the social media comments are pretty cool.

 

The effects, however, make my eyes water. Maybe it's just me because I'm a four eyed fox and my eyes suck. I get that it fits into the gimmick, but it's like when DX did it with their entrance back in 97 (except that was fuckin seizure inducing), it gets a bit overbearing at times to where you can't concentrate.

 

Just my two cents, continue on.

 

… Also "loser community?" Don't tug at the gi of Goku now...

 

I feel you. Thanks for the feedback. It's inspired by Beat Club, this old psychedelic German tv show. It's way too much by design. But then again, the effects are supposed to change a little each time. Maybe next time they won't be so overwhelming for you. But I appreciate you taking the time to say something.

MATCH B17 vs Keith Hendrix

 

Quick note on Keith Hendrix regarding character stuff. First, I would definitely not recommend having ‘Call Me Up’ on the back of your tights if you don’t want people to think you’re a complete rip-off of Velveteen Dream. I thought the video using his footage was an appropriate use of his promo, this just felt like a complete rip-off.

 

A return to our regularly scheduled Bingo for this match. Only issue I have with this is the clear continuity issues that come with suddenly growing hair and then having it come back, unless it was a wig. In that case, then Bingo has the ability to wear other wigs to the ring, and will wear them for matches, so why doesn’t he here?

 

As for the match itself, pretty enjoyable as a whole. Couple of nice character pieces to kick off the match; Hendrix’ moveset fits him well. Nice leg caught spinning heel kick, with Bingo regaining the advantage until Keith reverses again with a nice trip into the bottom rope, following it up with a decapitator on the top rope. Nice moment with Bingo finally hitting the clothesline to the outside, but whiffs on the bingo elbow, sed. Popped for Hendrix hitting the nut grab, if only the game knew the pure phallometry going on in B’s trunks; Keith wouldn’t have stood a chance.

 

Match finish was a bit confusing purely because we couldn’t hear the officials counting properly over the music used, but I think once you got the idea of what was happening then this was an interesting little end to the match. Surprised to see the RAW arena make an appearance, one of you must’ve forgotten to change it when recording it and didn’t notice/didn’t care to change it. Whatever the reason, just make sure that it’s all at the right location next time.

 

Waheey, we got an RP with all three members of the Experience in there at some point, at long last. Good to see the beginnings of an Experience vs OtaKru feud coming on, some quite nice matches you can spin from that, Outlaw Prince vs Anime Prince? You can leave my royalties in my pigeon box. Cheers. In all seriousness, glad to see The Experience kicking into gear finally so keep this up.

 

I appreciate your feedback. Honestly, I'm not completely on the same page about the tights thing (although I don't disagree, tbh). It was something I really liked and it immediately matched with my tag team partner's tights. Also, as far as OCW goes, who is the Velveteen Dream? But still, point well taken, but in the case of Keith I'm not sure the comparisons are avoidable. I believe B17 was sick the night before we submitted, may explain some of the editing stuff. I loved the outcome of the match because it felt different (although not hearing the count sucks). I'm glad you enjoyed the promo. I really appreciate the thoroughness of your review. I wanted to take the time to respond.

Here's my review: I made these notes while live streaming a read/watch along. I hope to provide more thorough notes in the future.

 

OCW Turmoil 218 Review

Jan-18-2019 Episode

 

Opening: Ashley Moore

- I really enjoyed the character work. I loved the dialogue and the scene details. I was left wanting more as opposed to wishing it would end already. Good work.

 

The Arrival (Empress)

-Loved it. I know someone commented about using Corey Graves's voice. That didn't really bother me, tbh. We could always pretend that's the voice of someone else. Great job, more please.

 

Valkyrie vs Belle

-Just, yes. Valk! Valk! Valk! I loved the segment at the end.

 

Jackman promo

-Short and sweet. Really helps the show have a nice rhythm. This promo did well to keep their plot moving forward. It's also nice to have the C-Community segment directly followed by The Experience. I liked this.

 

B17 vs Keith Hendrix

-(My match) I loved that this match felt like something genuinely unexpected happened. I like the draw to setup something down the road and it sets up nicely for the story The Experience is trying to tell. I'm really thankful to B17 for working with me and for taking the time to add the perfect additional segment and get everything submitted, despite having a very rough day. I appreciate it.

 

Stephanie Bank (The Experience) promo:

-I wrote this. From the reactions I have read, I'm happy about the feedback. The purpose of this promo is really to introduce Stephanie Bank, one of The Experience's cast of auxiliary characters. The early promos are really designed to create intrigue about The Experience and plant the seeds of unanswered questions.

 

CQC promo

-I thought this was super fun, reminds me of an Edge and Christian-type thing. Can't wait to work with these guys. This was quality.

 

Empress promo 2

-This was great, I really enjoyed it. I love the images, they really sold it. I like the dialogue.

 

CQC promo 2

-Very good, built nicely off the previous segment.

 

Loki vs Rust Cohle **

-This was an awesome match...really good shit. The segment at the end just took it up a notch. I could watch on loop for a bit.

 

Terra, Jehst, & Elsa promo

-I really enjoyed this. I thought everyone was well represented.

 

Alyssa Winters' promo

-This was a pretty cool promo. Gotta get me one of them gamer dream girls... or two.

 

Jacob Trance and Wrex promo

-Nice entrances. Awesome exchange. I'd buy tickets to see this now IRL. Great ending. Really cool shit. Get over, boys.

 

Aries and #Austin

-Good promo. I enjoyed the dynamic between the two.

 

Bourne promo

-So many questions, so many questions. Good shit.

 

Jay Fury vs. The Anime Prince

-I liked this match a lot. Good contrast in styles. Great entrances. This was fun. The Anime Prince vs. The Outlaw Prince was mentioned...that would be fun.

 

Austin Lee vs Damian Bourne

-This was all very entertaining.

 

Valkyrie and Belle segment

-Nice follow up to what happened earlier. I would like to see where their relationship goes.

 

PSA from the C-Community

-Yeah, you guys are weird alright. But no for real, this was very cool. I'm looking for more from the C- Community. Man, I appreciate all of the production that went into this segment. Let's get it.

 

Bourne vs. Thrace

-Let them fight! Let them fight! Let them fight! I really liked this.

 

Else and Jehst segment

-Loved it.

 

Matteo vs Code Jackman

-This match was really good. Again, it had a great contrast of in-ring styles and a sort of high-risk offense vs great defensive awareness back and forth. Very easy story to tell. I enjoyed the bit in the middle and the bit at the end even more.

 

Dragana promo

-This was a fun little character builder. I enjoyed it and it made me buy into the rivalry.

 

Valkyrie segment

-Valkyrie promos are the reason I joined OCW. Valkyrie promos alone would keep me here.

 

Drago

-”The champion left a clear message”. I concur.

 

B17 segment

-Popped for this. It was funny but sympathetic at the same time.

 

Cort Marshall segment

-I loved this promo. This shit was money.

 

Main Event: Wrex vs. Aries

-This felt like a real main event. The match was really awesome. The in-ring work was just really, really solid. The commentary really put the presentation over the top. It was a wonderful mix of calls and color. The segment at the end really felt like a big deal. Simple story really, but the best often are.

 

Overall impression: This was a really great show. I was very impressed with the quality and consistency. There were a lot of really cool surprises. Great production. Go team!

RUDO’s TURMOIL TOP 10 TAKEAWAYS:

 

1) The ME scene is in good hands. Jamie and Wrex always add something to their ME’s which add to the overall story they’re telling and this match was no different. A great contest between Aries and Wrex ending in a dramatic fashion as Wrex just don’t give a fuck and low blows Aries. I’d watch a re-match of these two for sure. I popped for the Trance save.

 

2) Keith Hendrix/his crew finally get some decent air time. The match with B in itself was great and left a story opportunity open for a future encounter. Was disappointed it was a draw because it was so close at that point. Then the RP from Keith shows what he can do on the writing side of things and it was great, really well written and engaging RP which met the goal of not wanting to reveal too much about Keith by having a mouthpiece do the talking for him.

 

3) I’m assuming the Mistico interference was talked about and agreed upon between Lee and Bourne before their match? If not, and if I was Lee, I would’ve been PISSED at the constant attempts to interfere AND the times Misty actually did. Also, Bourne changes his look again, but I do like the attire on this particular CAW. Tightly contested match despite the Mistico fuckery.

 

4) CQC floating across the show was a nice change-up on the Turmoil scene. Even going as far as trashing the Blue Brand GM’s office. Not sure that was a wise move, boys. And then beating down a victorious Loki after the match? Real heel shit. It was a brutal beatdown too. Quartz vs. Loki plox.

 

5) Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. The C-Community angle now has fresh legs with this betrayal by its leader on OtaKru, which is good for the sake of them staying as a Face tag team. Loving these vid packages, Kramer, keep em comin.

 

6) Bourne/Thrace segment confused the fuck outta me. Was that meant for Ambition maybe? Cos Bourne didn’t fight Thrace on Turmoil??? Regardless, rookies overall showed up on the show and it was good to see the effort put forward by Empress/Hendrix/and all the other rookies who put in content.

 

7) Matteo is slowly working his way through the roster and has shown marked improvement on the sticks which could land him a shot against the one and only Drago. I fuckin hate trying to counter that damn Pele Kick though, fuck. Will be interesting to see where he goes from here.

 

8) Cort bringing the verbal heat in a segment that took me by surprise, it was like a worked shoot sort of thing. It was just a side of Cort I hadn’t remembered seeing since his heel days. The frustration is obvious from Cort who still has unfinished business with Shep. He will have numerous challengers for his #1 contender spot on the rankings while he attempts to gain some revenge.

 

9) Pretty much every match on the card was super competitive which was great to see. I’m not sure if that’s a result of deliberate booking of skill levels or if everyone is just getting better at the game and evening it out. Either way it makes the shows a lot more enjoyable to watch.

 

10) As we rapidly approach The Clash it is going to be interesting to see which rivalries will culminate at this PPV and which will carry on into the year. There are a lot of feud’s brewing and angles playing out in a wonderful web of storytelling. Keep the stories rollin’ BAYBAY!

My image don't load no mo so fuck it.

- Moore convinces Blain to help her take down Valkyrie… Blain could definitely be a Stone Cold esque face, but she’s heel by default if she attacks Valk. Though, I don’t blame her, I fucking hate Frozen. One note, if your character is going to be thinking something, and it isn’t in a highly edited pretaped style thing, might as well just have them say it out loud. It’s expository and weird, but that’s how wrestling is.

 

- Another well-edited debut tease from Empress. With her and Keith here now, maybe Kass can finally shirk the chain of GRAFIX GUY? Listen, if him or Pugh try to talk you into taking a possibly cursed copy of adobe photoshop, refuse. It will bind you to do arena graphics via a soul contract.

 

- Belle looks a little too much like a Bella, but I’m not gonna lie--I nodded my head to that theme tune. Sue me! Starts the match with a poison frankensteiner… first match and you go straight for the neck injury huh. Liking all the reversals that send her to the ropes, don’t see that very often--I assume only certain running moves/reversals proc it. Belle’s corner move late match looked weird, I guess Valk is so short it fucks up the mocap lol. No pin from Belle after the moonsault to the back, and she suffers the knee outta nowhere… but here comes Blain, with a hammer! That’s a bit over the line, even for what Blain THINKS Valk did! Thankfully Belle saves her from the chair afterwards… good match, clean editing on the end. Valk was in the lead the whole time but it wasn’t a squash, Belle held her own. No FPR issues that I could see.

 

- So why DID Flojo get suspended? I swear it slipped my mind. I just remember her fighting Dragana and then being stuck at home playing with herself.

 

- Slick editing with how the B17 ent fades in instead of cutting! I liked BEEE 17 BAAAAAALMER coming back before but now he has no hair again so that hair was a wig but that devalues his entire current quest, which is for a wig. THE wig, I guess, but still. Kind of steps on its own toes there. As I said in the stream, I’m tickled pink I could recognize the first match song--Clutch by Miami Nights 1984. Usually I mute matches so I can play my own music overtop and get two things done at once, but good song. Interesting matchup with a rookie vs B17, who’s a relentless motherfucker if you get behind on reversals because he combos eeeeverything.

 

- Nice rope running sequence and a nice classic heel move from Hendrix by simply pulling B into the ropes… something old Cort woulda done. Headbutts with a helmet… somebody stop him. That’s clearly illegal.

 

- Hah, I can even hear the cars from the music video of Le Mans. When B17 rolls into the ring after the chair drop, Keith does parker, so watch that. B does that weird thing where he just stands there and stares at the guy for 4 seconds before doing anything, it’s creepy. Shame about the countout, as Keith was keeping up better than I expected, but at least the ending of him swooce-ing out fits well.

 

- One note to both Keith and Belle, both matches were good from an FPR and watchability standpoint, but one ingredient to add are flavour pins. In real matches people try pins more often--just because you can’t shoot win until a fin doesn’t mean you shouldn’t kayfabe try. So after big moves, try a pin to make ‘em look good. Or strategically to get more reversal regen time after a heavy combo! Or be a desperate heel and pin off the nutgrab because you wanna steal one, etc.

 

- Long segment from the collective members of “The Experience.” Very good writing here, establishing Sparks as a seemingly nice enough dude and Bank as an IMMEDIATELY annoying heel. Congrats on getting out of the gate strong with that one, I was already going OH PLEASE, SISTER by the third paragraph. Many have tried to topple the pecking order… but 99.9% of yous FAIL!

 

- CQC attempt a DX and try to blame The H20 Foundation for property damage and sic the Nation of Malu...nation… on them. That comparison got a bit tortured, but oh well. Great slimy but comedic heel shit.

 

- To be fair, that kid’s sign was pretty trash. Empress vs Flojo huh? Should be a good matchup, unproven rookie vs someone who usually has good matches but struggles to put down the upper echelon players. Reminds me of… me!

 

- Laughed out loud at the wet willy from Loki. He’s just B17 after his sanity meter drops all the way and he becomes hollow.

 

- Loki’s music should be quieter so we can hear the pyro. Sounds like it was dubbed over instead of played into an arena. Rust’s genre-schizo music is interesting. Once again we see a taunt->get bodied combo. Rust coulda had a ground attack on that first reset. Fierce, strikey match as I’ve come to expect from these two. This ref must be stronger than the ref that Trance hit because he got up like “nah fuck that buddy.” Also apparently one person was watching this match. Was it you, Mikey? Rust falls flat on his got damn face and barely gets Loki with the running move. Botchamania! LAST RIDE for Loki… he didn’t go soft on that one either. B17 claims another victim with the “stand there menacingly” strat.

 

- Finisher by Loki but Rust says PLEASE GOD NO and kicks out just before the 3. Somehow Rust manages to counter the flying punch despite the ref being in the EXACT FUCKING WAY. OUT OF THE SHOT, KID. Standoff… Rust is gettin nervous! Another kickout by Rust. Both men are down after a springboard… see that would be a great time to flavour pin. Both men exhausted and down. Though, he could actually win off it at that point. Loki counters a Rust fin! Weird move where Loki chops Rust after he’s already ran past… it supposed to look like that? Reminds me of that Shenmue counter the old homeless guy at the docks teaches you. Finisher counters everywhere!

 

- And another postmatch attack… is this WCW? One of the things that happens when you’re all producing content separately and don’t let others know about it to keep the surprise from the audience--because we’re he audience--is “Dammit D’Lo” moments like this where we get repeated angles or spots. Oh well. Beatdown went long IMO; after all,Loki is just a random filler character and it’s not an angle or feud--you don’t always need to get your heat back.

 

- I’m imagining Terra riding up on one of those little pink Walmart tricycles. I want you to know that. This bullying angle sure gets sympathy, but it also kind of reminds me of my childhood. Cheap heat? You decide.

 

- Fucking cat ear headphones. Ugh.

 

- Trance, the big scary guy in a blood-covered goat mask, kindly apologizes to the referee he splattered with his gravitational cross-body. Not quite sure about Wrex with hair--it makes him look a lot younger, less evil. More like… the other guy who isn’t Tim Allen from Tool Time. Or a millennial lumberjack, or some sort of motivational speaker who douses himself in aftershave and clasps his hands a lot. I like the Nasty Boys-esque jacket though.

 

- *Would HAVE.

 

- Like a classic heel, Wrex talks good trash and then gets his lackey to take out Trance. Nice and short, too, even though this one would have also fit a longer beatdown as well unlike the Loki annihilation. Back in the territories that kind of shit put people out for months!

 

- I laughed that Lee isn’t ashamed of reading yoga books, it’s just books entirely. Also a good line with the “no, I’m gonna kick him in the face” line. Nice interplay between the characters with Aries being all rage mode and Lee being like “So? This is Tuesdays!”

 

- Damian is now taking orders from Palpatine. Who could it be? I hope it’s DDP, here to stalk Jehst’s wife and then get fired a year later. Fuck you, Vince, the invasion ruined EVERYTHING.

 

- God Bray looks all sortsa fucked up. Ginger, weird stringy beard, the glasses, the halo, the shiny shirt… I’m sorry but this is just throwing your entire fridge into a pot and hoping for gold. I’d say change the beard, hair colour, remove halo, make scarf just black instead of inexplicably organza, change shirt to white cloth. Then we’re getting somewhere. Fury’s got a nice look, sort of slimy clubgoer.

 

- Oh god not the ass-to-face! Weebs don't WASH! I swear Jamie doesn’t reverse as often as he could. Is it strategy? Is he letting people get their shit in? Or is it just actual bad timing? Also does corner seated=ground move? Nice pin reversal off the powerbomb. Bray knocks down the ref and Fury attacks him afterwards, not a good week for refs. I woulda pinned after the airplane spin spot. Good ethics by Jamie after the roll reversal, lets Bray hit him after a whiff.

 

- Spine to spine contact on that senton… ouch. Ref down AGAIN! Just get out of the way ya striped fuck. Misses a dive and taunts, smooth. Bray hits him with a… really low elevation Rock Bottom. Maybe it was the angle? Kick at 1. Fury hits the 2nd rope Perfect Plex… REEE! Bray hits a sig and taunts, sits him up and THEN pins. Mind… games? Nice finisher reversal by Bray and the 2nd Rock Bottom puts him away. Not gonna lie, at the start I thought Jamie was letting Bray win because he was playing as an alt, but it got closer in the end.

 

- Damian’s CAW looks good, ripoff or no. Damian really takes it to Lee at the start… I see you on the outside, Mystery Hoe. Piledriver on a man as big as Lee can’t be safe. Damian tries a rollup thanks to Mistco interference… better watch out, hashtag squash puny mexican. Lee really isn’t pressuring Bourne on reversals, even though he has rev gain and Damian doesn’t; that’s where combos come in handy rather than just a ground move. I like how Damian leans down to shittalk and gets punched in the face. The taunts are very good here, appropriate for the situation, like Lee motioning for Mistico to get in the ring.

 

- IF THIS POST IS STILL TOO LONG, READ THIS. NEW MECHANIC WITH CERTAIN PAYBACK. Or... maybe you all knew this already. Anyway. VVVVVVV

 

- Bourne uses a payback, the momentum one I think, and it removes his heavy reversal debuff? Didn’t know it could do this. Dunno if this makes that ability balanced, because you’re giving up the anytime +1 advantage of the rev gain for a situational +2, or if it’s unfair because you can just freebie out of a heavy. My gut reaction was THAT’S SLIMY, but it would provide a nice safety net for people with heavies on their fins, and change the game so that a lategame heavy when everyone is legal to fin might actually be a bad idea rather than always a good one. Something to think about!

 

- Mistico gets some hits in on the outside but Lee gives no shits, comes in and slams Damian again anyway. Mistico does so many grabs from the outside, if I were there I would been running out and slapping his shit. Quite funny that both men were in the super videogamey DIZZY state at the same time, next to each other. This game likes to pretend for realism but then the dizzy animation is like Streets of Rage or something. That springboard neckbreaker could a been a pin. Holy fuck that suplex from Austin with the one leg up is so nasty, just low elevation fast impact. Yet another ref bump! Jesus!

 

- Austin finally gets Damian red--he was getting FUCKED UP earlier but he crawled back. Gestures for Mistico to come at him and he does, landing a quick kick before he can react, helping his partner up and leaving before the ref sees. Great spot. Damian tries something flippy but Archer just lazily kicks him and he lands on his head. That’s a Kevin Nash spot if I’ve ever seen one. Lee finally has enough of Mistico and slams him into the steps--this man plays so lackadaisical with reversals and yet lives. I love it. Unfortunately that leaves him open for Damian to hit his finisher and win, so maybe nevermind.

 

- They argue postmatch and… another beatdown. Man D’Lo is really fucking this show up. Maybe we do need a road agent to say like… 8 other people are doing your finish this week? At least it wasn’t too long.

 

- I hope this friend doesn’t turn on Valk by week three like the rest of them. She’s like female Sting.

 

- Much better editing than before on this PSA from Jackman, though the “CHANGE” bit was goofy as hell. Backstage attacks, promises of new members… this is an interesting and unique storyline, with Jackman as deluded and crazy as ever, just dressed like a character from CLUE. One thing… the fucking beep is still too loud. Love having unique video content like this, but please spare my headphone-wearing ears. I’m already going blind, deafness would suck.

 

- This promo has been established as going in the wrong place (smooth moves), but it’s a good one anyway. Though it does spoil an ambition result. Oh well! Thrace makes a good point that a 3 second pin is far from emphatic, sometimes. Kind of heelish of him to attack Damian first--proof that the Legion cannot be trusted. Join the NCR today! I’m eager to see how this man-mountain wrestles.

 

- Is Ace’s character like the mercurial but harmless retard of OCW? Everyone seems to just go along with her despite her ass being kookier than a cherry pie on a stump in the woods.

 

- Not sure about that horse head. Great rookie attention grabber, but doesn’t fit his serious character. Bad reversal by TLBS on the kick, gotta wait for that bar to fill! Jackman crowds in a bit after the pin. Jackman's moveset is very old school heel. He decides to bugger off, but then he reconsiders because of… what? Seems like there’s an action/thought missing between leaving and coming back to make him want to do so. Crowd reaction or something. Each man kicks out of a finisher, because fuck you Jim Cornette. TLBS hits the second pele, wins, aaaand gets kicked in the cock. Postmatch beatdown count: 56,241.

 

- Good old quarter muncher arcade machines. I heard this one actually got pulled from locations after it snapped a particularly weedy child’s arm in two. No redos, Bubba.

 

- Valk’s unnamed friend, the cigarette smoking diva, wants her to assert herself. I want her to stop watching Frozen. Please? Watch a better didney film like Atlantis or Treasure Planet or something.

 

- This carnivore may have bit off more than he can chew. Geddit? It’s the Carnivore vs the Hunter. Interesting matchup, pretty big deal for a rookie to fight Drago… even if he loses BUG TIME.

 

- Great, serious face promo from B17 after he stuffs a candle down his pants.

 

-AND IT WOULDN’T BE OCW TURMOIL… without an awkward pause.

 

- Nice job covering the belt being absent by saying it might get stolen by the Scummers. Wrex no-sells the FUCK out of a chop. He dictates an aggressive pace at the start, which commentary also points out. Main event RUN is too insider of a term to use IMO. Nice quick exchanges, but the ref is concussed from the events of the night and tries to run away in place like an anime intro. “How many brain cells does Wrex still have” was another good line; besides the insider type term commentary was very good.

 

- Both men’s movesets are very well set-up, Wrex with power and striking brutality and Aries with the athletic facey stuff. Aries didn’t have to reset after he threw Wrex in with that reversal. Wrex stops midcombo? Hrm. Wrex sliiightly moonwalked the superkick on the outside but it mighta missed anyway. Nasty suplex similar to the one Lee used, only a 1 count. Everybody’s kickin out at 1 based on pride! Aries kicks out of Scumchester! Wrex is angry and goes outside, Aries follows--to his own doom. Wrex tries to take the countout but Aries slides back in by 7. Finisher out of nowhere as Jake makes noises… kick out! This is the kind of main event I can’t be in because I can’t do that shit. Sigh! Wrex the heel immediately tries a rollup. GTS but Wrex’s arm is under the ropes!

 

- Wrex says fuck your spots and kicks out of a superplex at one. Wrex hits another fin but decides it isn’t enough and tries his opponent’s move! Reversed! Wrex is picked up… reversed! And Wrex says fuck it… if I can’t win, nobody can. Low blow, DQ win for Aries. Awesome finish, both men gave 150% and Wrex throws an anger/desperation nutshot. Fury comes in to assist in the beatdown, but Trance saves Aries… because he’s a nice guy or because #FUCKWREX? Also why didn’t Lee come out, dammit, that’s his partner! Oh well.

 

- MOTN, for sure. I’d give 2nd to the Bourne/Lee match for the storyline of Lee almost triumphing over outside interference via sheer lack of giving a fuck.

 

- Segment of the night is hard; The Experience had a very well-written establishing promo, Empress and Jackman had multimedia work, B17 did a rare heartfelt promo, and Austin/Aries showcased the differences between their characters.

 

- I think I’m going to give the nod to Jackman on account of the unique format of the video content, NWO style PSAs that ALSO revealed new information happening on the show, like the attacks. Which to me were a bit confusing because they were implied to happen after Bray’s match and promos, so the pretaped promo looked like it had parts filmed just then… if you know what I mean. We can suspend our disbelief, anyway.

 

- Good show, minus the fact that EVERY MATCH minus Bray/Fury and Hendrix/B17 had an attack. Just happenstance, but yeah, maybe we could have someone notify when something like that is gonna happen. Hard because almost everything gets in the last couple days before deadline...
