Because even in Loss they are worth more than your career.

You guys figured out a code. I’m going to break it. Enuff said

RUDO’s RIOT POST-SHOW NOTES:

 

+ Valkyrie/Moore/H2O segment was great, I loved the effort with the video package at the start; smart use of using what the game gives us to make something of those cut-scenes. And then the split from Inception...damn, some heavy fifi’s going on. I’m pumped already for Valk vs. Moore, but I fear the direction Valk’s taking.

 

+ Uncrowned getting shafted again. FIGHT THE POWER BOYS! Those security guards are dicks; reminds me of bouncers at night clubs who won’t let people in cos they “don’t have the right shoes”. I HATE EM.

 

MATCH:

Alyssa Winters vs. Zoe Cohle

 

Zoe just couldn’t ever get the upper hand on Alyssa in this one. Saw the ‘Valk special’ go down after that major rev. I think Alyssa could have more attire dedicated to video gaming or streaming logos, she just doesn’t come across as a streamer visually if that makes sense? The kick pads are nice though and look good after that roll through the ropes during the entrance as they’re in full view. Good win for Alyssa regardless and a rough start for Zoe.

 

+ LOL, Ashley acting all scared on Insta then shills her merch at the end hahaha.

 

+ Cowboy Quartz / Cyborg segment did its job both in hyping their match on the card but also teasing a RIOT Tag Team Title match at CG. Will be another great challenge for CQC to overcome.

 

+ Dupree’s RP was so good. Great descriptions of the scene and the OCW staffers alongside his hilarious dialogue (“moose scat” lol). Sets a plan in motion to stop Bobby from doing what Bobby does best; how much more of a villain can you be in this situation? *thumbs up emoji*

 

MATCH:

AC Cobretti vs. Kalix Eastbrook

 

BLOCKED BAYBAY

 

+ Alyssa getting sick of the Valkyrie hype too? Nice an short RP just showing that she’s here to stay and make sure everyone knows it.

 

+ Bobby Minio gets silenced... BOOOOOOOO!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! BOOOOOOO!!! Get FAME outta the control room! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

 

+ That’s my ‘ish, that’s my ish.

 

MATCH:

Tyson Wagner vs. Quartz

 

Winced when Quartz hit that spinebuster on the outside hitting Wagner’s head into the concrete. Lol’d when both guys just start smacking Ted upside the head with strike combo’s hahaha. I enjoyed this one; not too long, and had a few cool little sequences like Quartz rolling out of the ring, Cyborg follows, Quartz back in, tries to run for a rebound attack but gets flattened by Wagner. That finish was slick too; major the move then hit the BLACK PHOENIX BAYBAY! Keeps CQC looking strong going into CG.

 

+ Billy Saturn promo was almost generic heel intro promo talking about being the ‘one to cleanse the locker room’ but he spiced it up with a little ‘beauty shit talking’ charisma here and there. Better than a lot of usual rookie openers that’s for sure. Looking forward to seeing the CAW in action and if he can back up his words.

 

+ H2O gives Scaggs some insight into his rivalry with Kass. So will it be another triple threat or is Kass fighting H2O at CG? Seems to be a lot of talk about CG matches without a card being announced yet which is confusing me a little. Good promo regardless, character progression and building the story behind the match.

 

+ OOOOHHHHHH Secret Wars = FAME vs. UC – nice. Great promo from all four involved, you could feel the heat between both teams, and this pumped me up for the ME. A match between veterans and an up and coming rookie team? Yes please.

 

MATCH:

Telos vs. Cort Marshall

 

This was actually really fun to watch as Cort was coming off a great showing against Kass and Telos was vying for his shot at the Pride Title. The finish was great and I marked out for the EndGame cos it’s such a brutal move. So this now puts Telos in the title picture I think, beating the former champ. Pride division is looking good.

 

+ Bobby Minio pipe-bomb!!! YOU CAN’T STOP THIS MAN!!! Great promo – giving a little flame to FAME on the mic while still getting stopped by them before he could finish his thoughts. Great heat building segment.

 

+ This is an example of how to sway a loss into an RP. Nice short promo from Tyson to show off his PTSD personality and predator gimmick.

 

MATCH:

Tre Golden vs. Kass

 

Decent match. I got legit annoyed at Kass for rolling out and staying on the outside of the ring for so long at times lol, heel heat. Those majors really messed Tre up but he held his own against the former champion. How did the ref not see that low blow? H2O interferes due to nut shot or just cos he hates Kass? Either way this further builds from earlier in the night.

 

+ P3 bring more insanity. Good start by Drago bringing in the serious tones of consequence for Dragana and then Mugen quickly turns all of that around in an instant with hilarious wackiness. Best moment was Mugen trying to get Drago out then Mugen ends up in the cell hahaha. I just imagined one of those 80’s spin circle screen wipe transitions and Mugen is sitting next to Drago on his cell bed hahaha.

 

+ Looks like no-one in the RIOT locker room is safe from FAME’s ego. This stand-off was great though, I loved Cort’s response to Pugh and the fact he didn’t give in to his demands. We’ll see where this goes in terms of Pughs “promise”.

 

+ Uncrowned pump themselves up for their match and try to inspire their fellow rookies. Whether they’re pumped or not it doesn’t matter, as long as Uncrowned bring it in their match against FAME.

 

+ Mugen...I mean, Empress shoots hard on FloJo and OtaKru. Pretty funny stuff from Empress – good bants/burns. Hopefully we see a triple threat with Empress/FloJo/Ace in the future>

 

MATCH:

FAME vs. Uncrowned

 

Awesome match and great commentary from Angus. This right here proves why Uncrowned deserve all the praise they are getting at the moment, beating two legends in a well worked ME. Give these men their title shot! Would be awesome if they got one at Lution if not at RtG. Anyways, congrats guys on the win, and I’m sure you won’t squander the opportunity to use this win in future RP’s.

 

 

Overall great show, lots going on, fun matches with consequences or building towards an angle, and RP’s getting to the point and not waffling too much. Really enjoyed this episode I have to say.

 

MOTN: ME for sure. The match itself was good but the rookies getting the win over the legends was just a great moment.

 

RPoTN: This show had so many good one’s but I think it’s between Bobby’s pipebomb and Dupree’s OCW Staffer Drill Sarge bit.

[Tre Golden]

Speaking of that, I like the fame angle. I like having heels that can fight but also hold legal power over you, makes whoever takes them out bigger.

 

Inception feels like the good guys living long enough to become the villain, Valkyrie as well, the holier than thou and doesn’t like to admit that she has done some questionable things and doesn’t like to admit it, but hey she’s 20, and when Tre was that she he was going on coke binges so yeah... you mature.

 

which this all for good character growth as I feel like the days of white meat babyfaces are over.

 

More random thoughts later because I’m too scattered brained to do long reviews like the rest of you savages.

LAME lost yet ANOTHER match. Why are they in the ME again ?

 

Of course a rookie is only worried about winning.

 

This is why you will never get a rub from anyone but a Midcarder like Trash.

Dont need to explain yourself LAME member. We saw how you do things in the ring.

 

But I guess this is the OLD COUNTRY WAY, right ? Apparently Old Country means "not adapting to time and environment" cause, boy oh boy, that is painfull to watch.
