HOT DAMN!

[theSolomonCaine]

Nick's Review

 

Let's go.

 

 

PAGE ONE

 

 

Rust Cohle Is Looking For A Fight! -

 

Cohle was looking for a fight, and lo and behold he got one. With one show left until the PPV, I have to wonder what this leaves Cohle and KD to do.

 

VALcano and VALkyrie Promo

 

Love the HIMYM intro. The idea of a heel "superhero" who overestimates their powers is an interesting take. All it needs is a feud.

 

Manik Mercer vs. Maxx Edwards -

 

Manik Mercer makes his return. Mercer has an interesting look, but I don't know anything about him. No pre-match promo, no promo room segment, no nothing. I want to hear from him. Otherwise, standard match-up.

 

Parca and Reese Promo

 

Lucha Country ponder their next opponents during a classic comedy bit. I'm going to do a little bit of commentary here so feel free to debate me on this. There's been a lot of talk recently about how there aren't many consistent, long-term, successful tag teams in OCW. Thing is, outside of Lucha Country, the tag team scene is weakish. And competitively, beating Lucha Country is a monumental task. There is high risk and little reward to forming a tag team, beating some makeshift or weaker teams, losing to LC, and having no real competition left.

 

Marisa Welch Is Back On The Scene! -

 

Once again, I want to tune into Marisa's segment every week. She addresses what happened last week. She talks about Asher's big, strong BAT, which puts heat on someone that can use that heat rather than an AI, etc. She sets up a reason I should watch next week. Beautiful.

 

 

PAGE TWO

 

 

H2O Promo

 

Pressure makes diamonds, loving the metaphor here. Solid promo.

 

Joanna Silver vs. Sue Plex vs. Evelyn Parker -

 

Parca apologized for the awkward cuts already, standard fare match-up where everyone wanted to get their Sue Plex on.

 

Archer and Feinstein Promo

 

"No, not you, you’re not an imbecile, I was speaking to the Jew."

 

There goes our TV deal. Archer still trying to get the new UAE together.

 

Terra Daturas Has Some Choice Words For Valkyrie! -

 

The Diamond was Ashley Moore Consulting! Like the manager packaging, interested to see how Terra and Ashley will "destroy" Valkyrie.

 

Kassidy and TY Promo

 

Kassidy needs something to do other than game, taking TY under his wing will work. Will he abuse TY like so many others have? :(

 

 

PAGE THREE

 

 

The Last Blacksmith Has Had Enough! -

 

Iceman is doing what Blacksmith had done to so many before, getting under his skin. We're getting Matteo, not Blacksmith. I'm interested to see what that means, and I would love to see an attire to reflect it. He challenges Mac to accendi, and Mac lights the fire. Good stuff.

 

P3 Promo

 

Go read it.

 

T.Y. Sparks Jr. & A.C. Cobra vs. The Wrestling Club -

 

COBRA MAKE THE TAG GODDAMNIT. Anyway. Standard fare, WC loses again.

 

Colin and Parca Promo

 

Parca reminisces about old times with Colin, worth reading yourself.

 

Holly Hunter Has Crossed The Line! -

 

Holly pushed, slapped, and slammed around Emp's grandmother. Not her mother, her sister, her damn grandmother. Emp put her through a table and called it a day. I'm sorry, fuck a match. If I beat your grandmother to the point of being carried out on a stretcher, I wanna see you beat my ass to near death. That's my 2.

 

Purple Lotus and Lady Caleigh Promo

 

Lotus falls victim to the cult.

 

 

PAGE FOUR

 

 

Jon Carter Promo

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Aisu and Wrex Promo

 

The Benchmark, another team. Let's see how this goes.

 

Darryl Webster vs. Jon Carter -

 

Whiff whiff whiff whiff whiff squash.

 

Jehst and Morrison Promo

 

Michael can't get over it, and Jehst doesn't wanna hurt him. I anticipate a payoff.

 

BACKSTAGE EXCLUSIVE! -

 

QC Connect looks to get involved, probably during the Clark Effect next week. The climax [:p] is coming.

 

The Wig and B17 Promo

 

B is crazy.

 

Colin Locke vs. Aisu -

 

Scooooooop.

 

Valkyrie and Dragana Promo

 

Dragana is reasonably confused, Bubba is too big, and the hunt for a tag partner continues!

 

 

FINALE

 

 

B17 and Quartz Promo

 

B17 tries to play hero, Quartz reminds him that he did the exact same thing. A super match on the horizon?

 

The Clark Effect: Special Guest OCW Champ, Quartz! -

 

Quartz says Stacy Clark is Fake News and goes for an assault, allowing AC Cobra to make the save. Good use of Spider to take the heat beatings for Quartz.

 

Judge Leroy Brown III Promo

 

Unreviewed.

 

Danny Watts vs. Doc -

 

Watts convincingly beats Doc. When Watts did well against B17, I thought it was a fluke not gonna lie, but this is definitive. I know the full breakup of Dominion has been teased, but I feel like Watts could benefit with a manager post-break. Lesnar/Heyman vibes.

[KANG DOC]

Respect to Danny for showing me how it’s done, he’s come on leaps and bounds since Mr Undeated and is proving every show why he deserves to be a part of Dominion, and I hope he continues to kick on from here.

Replying to Salami’s take....

 

I’m really honored that Nate even accepted this challenge. So I’m taking this opportunity seriously because I don’t want to waste his time. He is a legend.

[Rust Cohle]

Holly Hunter... YAMEROOOOOOOOO

[Cort Marshall]

Holly Hunter beating up an old woman is good heat brother

[Quartz]

Replying to Salami’s take....

 

I’m really honored that Nate even accepted this challenge. So I’m taking this opportunity seriously because I don’t want to waste his time. He is a legend.

 

You're a waste of everyone's time.

[Nate Ortiz]

You're a waste of everyone's time.

 

Hi long time no see

[H20_]

You're a waste of everyone's time.

 

You can’t even intimidate Stacy...please don’t try to intimidate me.
