Danny vs Maxx

 

- Woah Danny boy, where is the young excitement and possibly-not-19 vibes? This new Danny but with the same music creeps me out. What’s to come? And a haircut! And a 45 hit combo! Holy shit. Both men comboing like their life depends on it. Nice to see some submissions get used outside of trying to finish a match. Big major into the FPR breaking OMG move. Gotta make sure they’re orange before OMG, Maxx.

 

Watts gives no fucks though, right back on offense. Seems like he has literally every “keep them on their feet” move in the entire game in his moveset.

 

Decent little match, never a squash or anything. Like the competitiveness. Wish we got a little less meta/combo-ey as time went on but oh well. Gratz to Maxx. Huge win to get some in-ring momentum

 

- Just a comment on how much I love Jehst’s dynamic and how well he operated with others within the universe. It feels like he’s the most connected to the entire OCW team. Let’s hope Troupe Strats reign in our Main Event.

 

- Leo seems to have found his m.o. In OCW, these creepy ass promos. Going after Kasstianity again, as he did at the PPV. Better job staying on focus on this one than he did at Clash. It’s really hard to do voice promos and whether you like this kind of thing or not, you can’t deny that this motherfucker really commits to the character.

 

- B17’s “leadership” with the lost boys continues. I think these three do a good job at mixing shitty heel promos with B17s natural comedic timing. Ohhhhhh shit. B17 talking about the case that is forgotten. Cort’s slow face turn is (as always) very well done. Taking his time with it and not going “hur dur the crowd pops huge for cort!” in his promos. We’ll see if this leads somewhere later.

 

- Draven’s character has shifted pretty dramatically, but again, committing to the bit itself has to be commended. I respect Draven’s decision to find his own voice and not be a Brock knockoff (Brockoff?). Everyone should follow the voice that they enjoy most, it leads to more impactful RPs.

 

- KD might be 2nd to only P3 in being this entertaining in 40-60 second spurts. I’ve never seen someone annoy me so much in the ring yet be one of my favorite RPers consistently every show. Again - these kinds of promos are tough to pull off, but you all wish you were KD. SISSIES.

 

 

- Jackmo has never been one to slack on the RP side of things, and it holds up here. Glad he didn’t lose any momentum despite coming up short in the International title picture. JackMo vs Danny is…. Interesting. With this new more violent side of Danny, could lead to more good stuff like this RP.

 

Draven vs El Parca

 

- The first entrance with the title is always the best. Loved seeing champion Parca, just warmed my little heart. Was the perfect one to defeat Archer. Real test time against Draven now.

 

A ton of early offense from Parca. Knowing how Jett is in the ring, I was surprised to see that. Hammerlock clothesline leads to a flurry of offense, and he didn’t even lose his crip shirt around his waist. Oh no. Major. Exactly the fight you’d expect from these two. Insanely competitive with Jett staking his claim to the title (again, feels like he’s had to do that 100 times since he came back) with a massive win after THE PILEDRIVER. Love that Jett brings back such an oldschool finisher and makes it look good.

 

- Heel H2O is the best H2O, there’s no denying that. He seems to have an angry confidence again shades of Season 13’s LHW title run. Will Doc be his Mugen? I’d take exception with H2O if I was Antonio… seeing as how Doc lost :smirk:

 

- Very pro-wrestling transition for Empress, coming off of a PPV losing streak, and moving into a fresh, new story with this therapy thing. She’s usually great, so lets see where this goes.

 

Cobra vs Leo

 

- NGL, the new attire for Cobretti popped me. Haven’t seen him regularly in abit and he comes back really new and great looking for Lution season. I hope this translates to a better in-ring look…

 

What in the hell is going on with this aspect ratio… Did Cort render this Leo entrance? I am glad that Leo went with a better, more appropriate theme for his character rather than generico rock/metal/edm (even though his old theme was dope, I just feel this is a better, more ominous fit.) Now get it over and don’t change it in 2 months!

 

I said it before but I don’t usually have enough time to review, HWY, power Leo is way better than flippy indy finisher every move Leo. Cobra is ACTUALLY reversing some of this offense, I’m shocked. If he mastered his moveset better and could anticipate, he’d be dope. Leo playing a very patient match. Cobra needs to go back to rushing him every time. He’s just waiting on a whiff.

 

The ever resilient Cobra! Cobra May Cry! This match is indyriffic with all these finisher kickouts. Started hot, slowed down at the end but still fun to watch. Competitive though, and that helped.

 

- Terra coming back to fight next week!

 

Aerith vs FloJo

 

- New FloJo has been much better in-ring imho. More serious and less bubbly (pun intended). Aerith returns from her L in the QOCW tourney. Should be a good one! (11 minute timer worries me, but I’m still chanting team Flo!) Change your fucking tron, Jamie. You have the option to turn it off if you don’t have a custom deal.

 

Holy cow what a start from Flo. Veteran move using the whip to allow Jamie to reset off the ropes. Nice work FloJo. The change of pace is interesting from FloJo so far. Passive at the start and now more aggressive can do wonders throwing off Aerith’s timing. Now we’re back to patient match style. Waiting on a whiff. It’s working /shrug

 

Boooo. Getting kinda ridiculous by the matches end. Need to engage eventually. If I was Aerith, I’d rush every reset lol. The Flogameplan works though, and we have a new #1 contender. Wasn’t pretty but interested to see a Flo/Ashley match with all the marbles on the line.

 

- I don’t review P3 segments, they review me.

 

- FloJo has played tweener so far in S15 imo, but this is as heel as it gets, which is a smart storyline move, because Ashley is still riding a wave of babyface momentum.

 

- “Welcome to your cup final mate” is a great line. Short and sweet promo and keeps all of the other pieces of Jehst/Doc’s other stories connected to hype the main event. I love both of these guys in ring and out so they don’t need a 6 page promo to keep my interest. Very VERY good stuff.

 

KD vs Cort

 

- Popped at Cort adding the bandage, continuity hoot!

 

Nice back and forth to start both-- and there’s a KD crapple. Took like 1 minute lol. Solid DDT from Cort to ge-- and there’s another one. Gonna be one of those kinda KD matches, I see. Cort still battling despite the FPR breaks. Cort still trying his best to tell the story with transitioning to babyface. PALEST MOONSAULT EVER!

 

KD just chucking cort around now. Some lengthy outside spots in this match but both offensive guys break the counts. Even at a nine count! Spear out of fucking nowhere, and ther eit goes. I talked my shit at the start, but tbf, KD’s breaks stopped after those first two that I noticed, maybe he didn’t get any more chances. Either way, okay match.

 

- El Parca protecting himself with an injury, makes sense. Champion dropping one but still looking like a fighter by going against the doc.

 

HOLY SHIT IT’S THAT MASKED MAN AGAIN. Beating down an injured El Parca and hits the… Oh heavens. I know what finisher that is.. Welp.

 

- Ashley calling back the QOCW touney and how Flo probably missed her boat with that, nice. Good guy Ashley being nice is still weird to me. Little… strange at the end, maybe hinting that Empress and Ashley have been COLLUDING THIS ENTIRE TIME!? :thinkx3:

 

- Hey, it’s me! Fuck off B17!

 

- This Cort/Jehst RP seems to have been misplaced, supposed to be before the KD match. Cort is all over the show, though. I love it. This confrontation between the new friends is impactful. Go and read this one!

 

MAIN EVENT Doc vs Jehst #1 contenter LHW

 

- I am rooting for Jehst so hard in this one. Sorry to all 2 of my fans that I wasn’t on commentary for this one. This was my first match listening to Brian on comms and he was damn good! Looking forward to doing more with him in the future. OHMGZ Live backstage reporting from big yake, getting all the scoops! Antonio gets his match anyways! Harvey you dastardly heel!

 

Time to play: Who do you hate more? Harvey or Doc?

 

The match itself was super fun, even though Antonio. Two of the best “workers” we have here. No tomfoolery and just straight action. Was hoping for a better competitive outing, but that’s what we do here. I’m just glad it was clean. Jehst is so great he doesnt’ need to dominate in the ring to be over, so it’s okay. Antonio coming BACK FOR HIS GOLD. WATCH YOUR BACK TY.

 

Nice showdown at the end. This is a great post-PPV ME showdown.

 

I liked the show! Wasn't the best Riot, but didn’t drag and wasn’t a trudge to get through (hence why I wanted to write a drunken review). Remember RPers to try and keep your promos on focus and move a story along. Sometimes shorter is better.

Why for you don't come out with both titleS?

Why for you don't come out with both titleS?

 

I don’t think double title entrances have been a thing for a while boss.
