OCW 15th Anniversary! Show!

[EMP]

Cool RP by Dupree who mentioned past legends. Can't say much because I don't know them but still it was an interesting read and helped building the historic feeling of the show

 

 

Spider Bobby

This will go down in history as the match who killed OCW (momentarily). I wasn’t really rooting for someone in particular but I felt like unifying the titles, regardless of the winner, was the right thing to do as there were way too many midcard titles on Xbox. I hope Bobby sticks around.

 

Main Event

With all due respect to KD who is an OCW legend and probably started here when I was in primary school, the entrance was bad. Aside from the Balor face paint, watching the most imposing and fearsome OCW superstar crawling on the floor as if he was possessed was a bit ridiculous. With that out of the way, the match was solid and told a good story, with two players who clearly know each other well and it shows on the overall quality. Some awkward spots up until the 20 minutes mark as the ladder was more of an obstacle than an actual object and with H2O who probably forgot to put his ladder daredevil skill on and that’s why he couldn’t dive (guess). Action really picked up towards the end with the table spot, some cool finishing sequences and the final running finisher to a KD armed with a weapon. Solid match throughout, a bit long, but absolutely a good conclusion to the Inception arch.

 

 

Okay this warp this up.

 

Love the RP from Dupree it was amazing. I feel like I can't appreciate it as much as most because I'm not familiar with most of these people. It doesn't change my feelings toward the Rp. Great work.

 

I love the build to this match. Was the match as good as the Wrex vs Parca Match? No, but, It told a better story it told a story you gave a shit about. Mr. Sensations reactions to every pin attempt, to every signature move, to ever finisher. All because he didn't want Spider to win. This was a great story fight and I for one loved it. The ending couldn't have been any better. Bobby and Spider put on one hell of a fight.

 

Main Event ...I for one 100% agree with Valk's Review on this matter. My biggest gripe has to be the KD entrance with Balor Paint. I know it's KD and KD does what KD wants. But, it felt cheap like no time at all was put into it. I would have preferred KD to just walk down the ring stone-faced with some wrapped hands and a look of I'm about to destroy you. Other than that just read Valk's review.

Doom Machine did go after Valk. The actual footage ends when Valk leaves the ring. What you didn't see was me slam her onto the stage and then walk back for the count out victory because I forgot I couldn't win the title that way.

[B-17]

But I was completely happy with the ending. I didn't want to win the title...... yet. And i wanted to beat Valk. Two birds, one stone.

 

Plus this kept it open for Moore to Cash in on Valk. So 3 birds 1 stone.

I loved the ending to the Blaine and Valk fight. It’s keeps Blaine looking strong as well as giving Ashley the options to cash in. I think it means more with Ashley cashing in on Valk then it would if blaine ended up winning and Ashley trying to cash in on her. It was a great match the an maxing ending. The only thing I see I could expect different is if Valk didn’t make it all the way to the back and Ashley got to her sooner. But even without that I think it was pretty good.

Mr. Undeated or whatever hoodie was funny the first time. Following the typo in the promo video. But, don't let that be your gimmick. Kinda difficult to push yourself as a serious competitor and walking around promoting Watt's like an idiot that doesn't know how to spell. The match was good but sorry to say I didn't see Watt's winning.

 

Yeah. Embracing a spelling error is just silly

Review Video will be up tonight, it had to be rendered and Didn't feel like losing any more sleep!

I have nothing to say about this that Valk hasn't said. It was a damn amazing match and I agree it stole the show. But, honestly, it stole the show for me in a way of performance rather than entertainment. It's the difference between watching two people fight and watching two people tell a story. This wasn't a storytelling fight it was just a fight. You can see moments where Wrex was trying to tell a story with getting a weapon and just leaving the ring to clear his head but eventually just went into Fight mode as for Parca, it was all just fight. The suspense of who would stay down was the only thing that kept me invested.

 

 

I have already proposed the question on discord, but I propose it again here. Starting from the fact that what you say is legitimate, because maybe you're more focused on the RP part than on the competitive one, but honestly I think differently. As you rightly said, the match between wrex and parca was fantastic from a competitive point of view, and in my opinion it's the best thing that can happen. In my opinion, storytelling is important (for example, as you said, and on this I agree, the one between me and the code, for various reasons, was weak) but I still think that the story telling should be the outline of the match, and not the other way around. When there is a match, those involved should be focused on giving their best to win, rather than making it part of the story telling. Or rather, if everything happens genuinely, great. But if it all seems forced, for me (it is my opinion not the absolute truth) it is quite useless.

 

Which is why I think the match is sacred, and I don't look kindly on the possibility of reshoots, because when I go to watch the matches, I have to be sure that everything that happens is pure.

 

As already mentioned this is my impression, everyone sees OCW as he wants. That said, I agree with many other things you wrote in the reviews.

All I was saying was I have seen amazing matches and amazing matches that tell a story. I didn't say anything about having to do re-shoots or anything along those lines. I agree the match stole the show and it was a very good match. But, It didn't really tell a story and by telling a story I'm saying it was like watching two people playing a game for me.

 

And I give credit to both men Wrex was playing Wrex - Wrex would do his moves, do some taunts, try to cheat, and no offense to Parca but, Parca was just playing the game which turned Wrex into just playing the game.

 

When I joined I heard this a lot about playing the game versus playing your character and telling a story. I didn't understand it when I joined but, started to get what people meant as time went on. It's like having a moveset that best represents your character. Like some people might have a problem with the pop up move based on a technical problem with it. I saw it more as How can parca a lightheavy weight throw Wrex a heavyweight up in the air to do that move? It's not like he caught him jumping off the turnbuckle or anything. It didn't make sense. But, everyone has the right to see the match they way they want and I'm saying it was a good match that played like watching two people play 2k19.

Yea, as I said your point of view is absolutely consistent, nothing against it. Is only that, from a competitive point of view, I don't dislike people playing the "game", that is, learning its mechanics to the best to try to win. Obviously, on one thing I agree. There are moves that do not fit the character perfectly (as you said a light heavyweight can hardly lift a bigger competitor in that way) but otherwise the fact that the parca has done its best to try to win (as long as you follow the rules okay for me) I didn't mind, and I'd like to see it in every match, because it gives me the feeling of real competition. Then I repeat, different points of view. I respect yours and that of anyone else who can see it this way. Absolutely.

Pop up catch finishers are all GARBAGE, they are there because the couldn't code AI properly . it shouldn't be done, ever
