I can't hear you over the sound of how expensive my shoes are.

 

Your shoes are as expensive the wi-fi on a cruise ship.

Shit.

Like your communication skills.

 

Don't try to get smart, you're not in my zip code.

RUDO’s TURMOIL POST-SHOW NOTES:

 

+ This little set-up RP from Trance made me feel like I was watching the opening scene of a movie. Great use of a short RP to create intrigue as to what is going to happen in that scum infested part of town. SHIT’S GONNA GO DOWN SON!!

 

+ I found it hard to figure out if Elliot and Evelyn think they are literal angel and demon or if they use those terms as metaphors, mainly cos I haven’t seen (or at least don’t remember) any set up RP’s to explain it. In any case, Valkyrie can only give solid advice and tell Evelyn (who?) to move on with her chin up. Hopefully there is some clarification at some point as to what’s going on with those two cos I was confused.

 

+ B-17/Code go wrestling feud 101 with a little tussle and a GM demanding they keep their hands off each other til the match, which I now assume will be for either CG or the SS. This has been building for a while since Code had his victory so will be interesting to see what happens when they collide again.

 

MATCH:

Soloman Caine vs. Loki

 

Soloman’s look is ok but without having much insight into the gimmick it’s hard to tell if it suits him. His build is good for a technical striker which his move-set portrays him as. Went to the well a few times on same moves but also left some damage on the table (you can do three ground strikes, Soloman, before needing to pick up/bump). Also make sure to make use of the payback system. You’ll get there, FPR was good, just want to see more of your character in RP’s now. And Loki is wacky as always, that music/entrance always cracks me up.

 

+ Empress/Belle saga continues. Swerve from Empress with the coffee gesture. I SO SORRY!! Attire change on aisle 4! Fun little segment to keep this feud moving along.

 

MATCH:

Belle vs. Flojo

 

Give me dancing Flojo back! :( Belle coming out dressed for a clean-up. And maybe she’ll clean Flojo up in this match, who knows?! LOL that moonsault botch. Decent action, bit of outside aerial stuff, but eventually Belle was able to put FloJo away and push her further down the women’s division rankings.

 

+ I hate guys like JBS; “if you don’t fight me, you’re a bitch!” then proceed to call them names until they give in and fight. Too much talking JBS, get in the ring with Tayy and see what happens to your Macho Man-lite ass.

 

+ Despite the circumstances surrounding the ME, Bray did a good job of explaining it in this RP and bringing his character to life again which was great to see. Also looking forward to seeing him take on Blacksmith who is a great competitor.

 

MATCH:

Mark Reese vs. Tayy Briezee

 

I like Mark’s CAW and theme but there’s definitely room to grow in that sense and evolve which is exciting as he’s proven he can bring it in the ring. I felt like Tayy just couldn’t reverse anything in this one and it was weird cos Jake is a great player. I dunno if Mark threw him off with timing or what happened but it was strange to see him get so manhandled. In any case, Mark is a refreshing presence in the ring with his move-set and everything so I’m excited to see if he gets involved in a feud or something soon.

 

+ I mean, great to see you writing Asher, truly, but perhaps try using something like Grammarly or something just to spell check and make sure your sentences make sense as some parts are missing words, or the wrong words are used etc. Always proof read over the whole thing at least once before submitting. And the “would” shit grates my fucking eyes when I read it. I’m guessing either you got permission from Keith to use his character or he’s back/not flaked? Not sure which one. As for the meat and potatoes of the RP, Asher did not take advice from his stable-mates and foolishly wandered the OCW arena alone; it’s a zoo out here I don’t know what you were thinking man! So Asher is in a feud now I’m guessing? Let’s see how this plays out.

 

MATCH:

Empress vs. Ashley Moore

 

I saw three minutes and went “DAMMNNNN someone got FUCKED UP” but then shortly realised it was cut short due to an alleged backstage attack on Moore. Great little video piece; I lol’d at the attire change when it said “ugly Valyrie” hahaha. Oh man. I like the multi-man feud element with both singles feuds kinda crossing over due to friendships and dark alliances.

 

+ And here we are; the dark alliance of Moore and Empress. A mutually beneficial arrangement between these two dastardly women to take out both Belle and Valk. The ‘glitter eating’ line got me hahaha. Also the misspoken English parts were hilarious too. Great work guys.

 

+ Johnny lays out the thoughts of the OCW universe in relation to Valkyrie’s recent actions but Little Bubba refuses to let others seeds of doubt get in her way and once again storms off alone and from what I can tell, feeling misjudged.

 

MATCH:

B-17 vs. TY Sparks

 

This was an ass whooping that didn’t really feel like one, but TY just couldn’t get the upper hand at all during the match. Nothing to be ashamed of though as Adam is one of the best players on the sticks. Great finish, love the catch Bingo Punch; and it connected! B keeps his record intact and continues his climb towards the CCW title.

 

+ Valk and Belle about to have a convo with Clark until BAM! Blaine comes in and ruins the party. She’s not wrong in what she said, however; Belle did not earn it, what with Valkyrie interfering like a HEEL and giving Belle the dirty win. Blaine will be a true test for Belle when that ever comes about.

 

+ Ace is fucking disturbing. This segment showed a very vulnerable side of Dragana as well, letting her emotions show which rarely happens, well at least in the case of anger and rage. But even then she still couldn’t pull the trigger on the chair shot. Interdasting. I wonder what Ace knows...interdasting.

 

+ Zoe Cohle and Aisu reflect on her match/loss. Aisu get’s bigged-up by Zoe but Aisu shows he is humble and willing to wait for his chance to prove himself.

 

+ JT promo was weird but flavourful, in the sense that I didn’t understand what was going on in terms of the character but there was definitely charisma coming through. Maybe once I see the CAW it will all come together, but for now, keep it up man, keep writing.

 

MATCH:

Valk vs. Dragana

 

Is it 2K’s lack of imagination/not giving a shit or is throwing your opponent into the cage wall the only grapple you can do on the outside of the ring in these matches? Cos if that’s the case that’s balls. Should be able to do normal moves too. Said in chat but the Sister Abigail was weird, with the kiss and everything, unless you were to spin it in the way of "it’s Valkyrie giving her opponent a kiss good night after reading a fairy-tale"? Otherwise; creepy Valk confirmed. Other than that it was a surprise to see Dragana fall but a testament to how much Valk has improved on the sticks over the last year and she is definitely up for a title shot in the near future I would say. It looks like it’s heading towards Valk/Blaine, which if that happens at Lution it will be a banger and I will have front row seats.

 

+ Nice face promo 101 from Mark Reese; big up the opponent and stay humble, throw in a catch phrase --- BOOM! I like this guy.

 

+ This segment was so good, I felt like I was watching a gang-lands movie. And great scene setting and dialogue aside, that stipulation puts a whole other level on top of this feud. We could potentially be seeing the last of Trance...forever. Damn son.

 

+ Valk and Dragana match fallout. The emotion from Johnny was great, pushing Valk away who you could tell was sincerely remorseful for putting Dragana through such pain, but knew she had to in order to stick it to Sensation. But she made her choice. What a predicament. Had me feeling some type of way; great stuff.

 

MATCH:

OtaKru vs. Scumciety

 

The fact Bray wasn’t in this match didn’t really make too much difference although it was basically Nic Betamax vs. Jay Fury in the ME of Turmoil which was kinda weird but it is what it is (commentary had been done, etc) but it was fine. I thought that it told a decent story with Mistiscum staying on the outside for the most part, letting Jay have a go at tearing apart Nic. But of course the heels needed to gang up on Betamax at some point, and eventually took him out for the 1-2-3.

 

I appreciated the video content at the end with Bray/Blacksmith but I felt it made the ME seem insignificant to an extent as it didn’t relate to any of the guys in it at all. This gives Betamax a chance to do some RPing; your boy let you get whipped by Scumciety and was at the arena the whole time (or at least, when he got there he didn’t help you). Don’t squander that story hook, it’s a given, even if you guys don’t break up because of it, use it to grow his character and create a little friction between them.

 

 

Decent show overall, some weird moments but also some great stuff coming out on the road to Lution and I can already start to see seeds being planted for it which is exciting.

 

MOTN: this would have to go to...hmmm...probably Belle/Flojo; I liked the flow of it, and it had some cool spots here and there.

 

RPOTN: Scum/Trance bar/clubhouse scene. Like I said, straight out of a movie, loved the description, took me right into the scene.

5 takeaways

 

1. Mark Reese is an old-school wrestler with a great slammy moveset and a very positive face character with a lot of potential. He's proven he's got what you need in terms of a look and in-ring work, but now we need to see more writing. Decent pre-match promo from him here - again, very old school. Once we get some more insight into his character, we have a star on our hands.

 

2. The Cesars really don't get the love they deserve in the writing department. Very vivid and creative work from Dragana and namely Johnny Law here. Drago's may go creatively underappreciated because a lot of his work is in the humor side of P3 these days, but you can really see how great it comes out when Dragana's more serious writing is put at the forefront. It only serves to help the segment when Valkyrie is in on it too. Two of the best we have in OCW.

 

3. Empress' new entrance is amazing. Her segments have needed a little more nuance but this show really shined for Empress. In a show with an odd main event and kind of a weird vibe, I think Empress really took the opportunity (along with Ashley) to make herself stand out. I really enjoyed the swerve segment with Belle too.

 

4. Code Jackman and B17's blood feud could continue through CG but likely will split their separate ways after the #1 contender's match. It's good to see two people who haven't been involved in the world title picture getting involved and a #1 contenders match in a blood feud is a fantastic transition. With only 4 names near that CCW top-card spot, I'm interested for maybe 2-3 people to get more involved up there. Bray and Jehst are two names that come to mind that have the ability and the platform to do so, they may be next!

 

5. Belle's ringwork is very solid for someone as new as her. Her matches are very fast paced and her moveset is energetic and fun to watch, just like her CAW. Great match and good to see FloJo back in the ring, despite me being bummed out that she's shifting a bit away from her old persona (pun definitely intended). Focusing on this new less energetic, more focused underdog could be the boost she needs!

 

The road to CG continues!

@Quartz

 

This fued always had the intention of helping B17 climb the ladder again while helping to bring Code closer to a main eventer. In many ways it worked out better than I hoped for and I'm very happy that I've been involved in a fued that has been ongoing for 4 months.

The road to CG continues!

 

I agree!

 

MARK REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE, I think Mark benefited from being booked with reliable Sophmores who ain't leave a stanky taste in his mouth. Mark reminds me of Cort Marshall when he started, as Cort was HEEEL, Mark is white meat babi face. I love it just keep on keeping on!

 

On Drago you are on the note, everyone gushes about so many ppl but y'all (me included) haven't really given Drago the props he deserves....now I'm in my emotions bag.....hello darkness my old friend.. Drago has been the lynch pin on both Riot and Turmoil since the season started all that despite being a SCIENTIST IRL!!!!!!! ILU Drago, I see something gold and shiny in your future.......<3<3<3 <3 CLOSING TIME

 

EMPRESS more like THICCCCCPRESSS.....

Let it be known you can always holler at me if you want to discuss something. Empress and Moore are obviously a bit of a duo, so Empress asked if it was ok to do something else in lieu of a match. Knowing that they are a bit of a duo I suggest a debate.

Empress why Flojo is fugging awful

Ashley why Valkyire is fuggin awful

Even suggested some kind of simple video content so it would just be a short segment. Holy shit did those to deliver!!! I really love that Ashley has turned into a Spider/Trash like Villian, the video they did had me on the floor. It felt like one of those sitcom story dream sequences where the storyteller keeps changing the story as they go. The Swap to homeless Valkyrie along with the dialog took me the fuck out. Checked all the boxes. Lets just hope ashley gets a lil better on the steeeks!

 

B17 and Code are like Dimsmore vs Dupree, its a blood feud that will resonate years later, haha B17 vs Code #1134234 in Season 19. The new Aries vs Trance!!!

 

Belle fights dummies in Japan (online matches) so having to constantly fight idiots who will cheat while still using OCW Caws/FPR will naturally make you better. Not to mention she also has the age factor (Younger players have better reaction times and perception) Flojo got waffle stomped imho, thats what you GET FOR CHANGING UR MUSIC!!! :(

 

Lastly So is OtaKRU just Bray and ACE idk!!!!! whats going on send HALP!

 

ALSO Lastly: If you are going to send in an RP proof-read that shit. Joint was a throwback to 2005 when I had to install a grammar and spellcheck mod on the site because grown men couldn't grasp the English language.

Lastly So is OtaKRU just Bray and ACE idk!!!!! whats going on send HALP!

 

Absolute lies. Nicholas Betamax is stronger than ever and The Anime Prince welcomes his brother.

OtaKru is FINE.

[B-17]

I found the cage match to be odd not only from a visual standpoint but also from a story standpoint. If she's getting punished I understand Dragana as the selection, but what's the next stage of escalation. It felt like a big jump from punishing her to a cell match reserved for the ultimate settling of a feud.
