Riot 538

[Antonio Everrett]

Hey motherfuckers I’m back, seen a decline in reviews recently so I’ll pick up the torch I put down for a lil bit.

 

Doc and Dupree with a lovely little segment. Doc is quite an underrated promo in my eyes, and Dupree is obviously phenomenal. Getting a new #1 Contender, yay! Was looking forward to Doc’s original match for Consequence though… #justicefor#1contender.

 

I’m not quite sure what the T.Y Sparks character is, but I like the look and the moveset, just missing a bit of the promo work and he’ll almost be ready to do some serious damage. Pretty good match with Nicolas Maximus, I remember a lovely little ending sequence and Sparks picks up a big win, nice!

 

A good ominous promo from Leo Grimm, never seen so much deliverance in one promo, let’s hope he DELIVERS in the ring… I’ll see myself out.

 

Lovely RP between 3 of the biggest stars on Riot at the moment. The main event on the Xbox side is looking STACKED, with Cort, H20 and Boingo all looking like they could be a serious threat to Doc’s throne. Keeps all the plates spinning, great stuff!

 

Nice visual created with the Archer Academy guys, with Benji ominously watching over the goings on, made me think of like a mob boss or something which is pretty cool. Haven’t been following the Academy too much but it’s nice to see loads of Turmoil guys looking to get involved, I’ll definitely be paying attention at Consequence with whatever segment ensues.

 

Great RP between Heather Angelo and Dragana, I’ve definitely missed Heather as a prominent feature of the Women’s division,very good foil for the baby-face heavy division.

 

Solid match between Klein and Caine. No issues but nothing really to rant and rave about. Just a smooth, solid TV match, with Odon picking up a big win over Solomon. Not much more to say.

 

Great promo work from the Riot rookies, if Grimm, Klein and Parca keep this up, we could potentially get a half-decent rookie class, which is always appreciated. Keep it up, guys!

 

Match between Telos and Tre was… fine. A few issues obviously but nothing that can’t be improved upon, Telos picks up a big win on his way to his big match against Booby at Consequence.

 

CQC somewhat teasing a split after Consequence? I hope not, the Tag Division needs the star presence that they provide, however it will be interesting to see what happens at the PPV.

 

Heather kind of got her ass whooped by Dragana. Don’t fuck me Harvey… Heather somewhat managed to get a comeback towards the end but I think Dragana is back to her best, will be interesting to see how her character develops over the next few months, might be seeing her making her push back to the top?

 

Nice back and forth between Empress and Valkyrie in their promo. Would say that Valkyrie needs to show and not tell a bit more in her writing, instead of saying ‘You are the Villain and I am the Hero and this is a fairytale’ I think there could be some ways to work around that. That being said, this was some nice build to a match I’m definitely looking forward to, even if it was a bit long for me.

 

Bobby is the fucking bomb, I have nothing more to say.

 

Overall, a pretty nice show once again. The RP's were awesome on the show, nice to see so many people fueding and whatnot. Consequence is looking like a REALLY REALLY strong show, I’m definitely excited.

 

RPOTN: H20, Cort, B17 car promo.

 

MOTN: Sparks vs Maximus, no real standout matches this week.

 

Overall: 3.75/5
