And no love for me making the match card template.

 

Or Kent for the arena.

 

This is why we quit.

Who hurt you b? I said 'and many more' because I was anticipating it would be more than those who I mentioned, thank you for your contribution but don't get upset if your name isn't plastered all over it so a lot of people won't catch that it's your doing.

Alright motherfuckers, let’s review some Lution shall we?

 

Thomas Archer vs Bray

Can’t remember too much about this one to be fair, but I don’t think it’s important anyway. Archer retained, something which I didn’t expect but I don’t mind. Jake’s cheeky digs at Bray kept me going for a bit. Not the best start to Lution, but a half-decent match at least.

 

Antonio Everrett vs AC Cobra

‘Good slams there’ - Jake

 

Women’s Future Investment ladder match

This was a fun match for sure. I liked the dynamic between Empress and Ashley Moore, where they were helping each other at the start and eventually Empress was like SIKE and smacked her across the head on the outside, slightly popped for that to be fair. Ashley Moore picks up the big victory, she’s definitely the perfect person to be holding that briefcase, especially after what happened later in the show (we’ll get onto that!). Everyone looked pretty good in the matchup, so nobody really loses here!

 

TTT vs P3: Battle for Space and Time 2

Oh boy am I glad I didn’t watch this live. This went on for way too long, simple as; it probably should have been 20 minutes at a maximum. This could’ve just been a one off special show by itself, I don’t think it really had any place being a main event of Wrestlelution: Prime. I didn’t watch most of it, just the bit they were playing Minecraft for like 2 minutes, and the start of the match where they were actually wrestling, and I lost interest afterwards. I didn’t know what to expect coming into the match, but I was very disappointed.

 

Overall, Prime really wasn’t great. Other than the ladder match, none of the matches felt like they had stakes or felt like they mattered, or anything I could really get engaged with and invest in. Looking forward to what Ashley Moore does with the briefcase however, that could be some good shit right there.

 

Onto the main show!

 

Bobby Minio vs Maxwale

Bobby wins lol, what more do you want me to say? The whole idea of this weird work thingy where Bobby got moved to the main show really did nothing for anybody, just left everyone confused. Didn’t make me anymore invested in the match. Maxwale looked like he had jeans on, no wonder he lost. Liberation Frequency through the table was cool, I’m sure nobody else on the show will be going through the announce table, right guys?

 

Men’s Future Investment ladder match

I actually really enjoyed this match, a lot of glitches and no-sells and people moving around weirdly, but that’s the game’s fault so no knock on any of the guys in the match. I LOVE Tre’s new/old look, much cleaner, looks more like a star to me. I think he was the star of this match, just seemed to be everywhere and involved in most of the cool moments. Cort and Shepherd working together despite their differences was cool. Cort then out of nowhere just twats Tre in the face with brass knuckles, USA! USA! USA! Was probably meant for Shepherd, not sure if he realised Shepherd is actually white. Cort wins, I am a prediction god! Now enjoy your arse whooping from the champ like a man.

 

I don’t care about the Troupe

 

Jehst vs Capo

This match was decent I think. Not the strongest on the card but still a decent watch. Jehst’s look is phenomenal, great work on the attire, Capo’s I wasn’t so enthused by but still alright. Not much more to say other than they beat the piss out of each other and Jehst got the W. I see some big things for that man, not too sure where Capo goes on the other hand. Perhaps a tag team run after whatever that was after the match, not gonna lie I zoned out and didn’t really care, but I think they’re friends again?

 

CQC vs Scumciety

As far as tag team matches go this is one of the better ones I’ve seen I think. Some actual tag team moves and interaction between all four men, lovely stuff. Scumciety got the edge early but once CQC got in their groove there wasn’t too much going back. This is where the show picked up for me, and it only got better and better from here. CQC wins, because they’re the freaking best tag team ever. Will be a shame when myself and Doc win the tag titles and hold them hostage on Xbox <3.

 

Joopiter and Mark Reese segment next. This should’ve gone on a Turmoil.

 

H20 vs Drago

Well then, H20 seems to have bit off more than he could chew. The minute he went down to 0 reversals it was over for him unfortunately. An even match to start off with, but Drago really turned it on later in the match and H20 couldn’t keep up. And that finish, what was H20 thinking? Lovely babyface retribution after being LITERALLY THROWN OFF A SEMI HOW IS THIS MATCH EVEN HAPPENING.

 

Valkyrie vs Blaine

This match was very very good, my favourite Valk match I think I’ve seen. So many near falls, lots of drama, all very tense stuff. I’m glad that Valk finally won the big one, but it’s possible that she’s better chasing the title instead of being the champion herself, let’s wait and see. What happened after the match was amazing too, I actually thought for a minute Moore was gonna become champion but alas it wasn’t meant to be. Still, a lovely cherry on top of Valk’s best performance for me.

 

Austin Lee vs Wrex

This match was BRUTAL. So many spots where I was actually cringing while watching them. The work on the arena with the floorboards and exposed floor was super cool and a nice touch that really got me invested in this match. Unfortunately, Austin kind of got his ass beat, but in the best way possible I think. Wrex looked like a beast. Lots of creative uses of the environment and somehow they were actually able to hit moves on the exposed parts of the arena consistently, which just added to the brutality and a sense of realism to this match, like they actually wanted to kick each other’s asses. Wrex got the clean sweep, but shouldn’t have when Lee kicked him out of his finisher, I think it was probably just a reflex where he didn’t realise it could count as a fall, or maybe he thought he had to submit him first. Whatever happened, Wrex needs to save that CCW Title Picture, do us a solid mate.

 

The Blacksmith segment was an example of video content that actually belonged on the show. This was thoroughly enjoyable, reminded me of the Undertaker vs John Cena angle from last year. Blacksmith’s promo was fine, didn’t really pay attention. Then, BLACKOUT. Are they actually going ahead with the Kass angle? S-S-S-SALAMI CAINE! This was bloody genius. Caine kind of got buried, but I’m sure he was okay with it, gotta get on Lution hoot.

 

Code Jackman vs Malu

Not seen too much of Malu, but he’s our CCW Champ so what can you do? Code Jackman needed to win this one to give that title an ounce of credibility back, ah well. The match was actually really really good, and I thought Jackman had it, until he didn’t have it. I have no idea who Malu will defend against, there is only a few names I can think who would be ready to fight for it right now, so we’ll have to see. Sad to see Code’s reign end so quickly but a good match nonetheless.

 

Doc Green vs B17

Doc got his arse beat for a good two thirds of this match, but it only made his comeback that much sweeter. I swear to god that dude has been within an inch of losing his title about 400 times already during his reign, but he always finds a way to pull through, as all good baby faces should. Reminded me a lot of the B17 vs Wrex match actually, except B17 was actually supposed to be the heel this time. Doc’s piledriver through the table was nasty, unfortunately was outclassed by the Wrex’s piledriver off the apron but what can you do? Good shit guys!

 

Nate Ortiz vs Tiberius Dupree vs Paul Pugh

Match of the year so far for me. The second the entrances started these three dudes looked like absolute stars. From bell to bell, non-stop action. The whole presentation of the match, how they looked, how they interacted, how they moved etc. was just brilliant. Great storytelling throughout, especially when Nate still couldn’t pin Pugh after all this time. I’m shocked Dupree was able to get the win, I’d wrote him off before the match but you can clearly never do that when these three were clearly all on top form. Fantastic end to a much much better main show, and the all shook hands and rode off into the sunset. How lovely.

 

Overall, the Lution main show was great. On balance, probably around an 8/10 for me. A huge well done and thank you to everybody who was involved in making this show as successful as it was! Quite a few question marks going into the summer, especially surrounding the CCW Title, but I’m ready for them to be answered. Until next year!

 

Predictions: 8/14 - Not bad I reckon.

 

MOTN: Main Event.

WL13 was better than WL12!

[Nathan Gaines]

Been a minute since I've logged on to OCW or watched anything, but I got to watch on Youtube and the show and production value were awesome! Obviously was partial to the Legends Main Event since Nate and Pugh were around back in my time. Great job by all though! Definitely fun to get back into OCW and enjoy the show as a fan!
