RIOT - February 21st, 2008

[Robert Fearo]

Fearo is still and idiot...

 

I love the irony here.

[Parker]

Dam i marked hard for the AA return vid, cant wait for R2G

[Leon Valentine]

point of Note... This match is a play over and a horrid one at that... Pee Stee was not controlling Pee Stee in that match... I can tell immediatly cause Stevens is one of OCW`s most aggressive wrestlers and he looks like a jobbing mutt throughout this whole match... I also had my "handler" controlling me... shouldn`t I be walking around the ring doing something instead of sitting on the apron staring into the crowd... so many crappy spots in this match... I hate playovers for this reason... at least have the guy playing Pee Stee try to make the damn thing watchable....

 

We tried to connect one night and the game decides no were not letting you connect. Did i tell you why i hate 08? Then the next day you couldn't join to us. We did the match a first time but didn't look good so we re did just to have a more of an impact effect, the next time parker got dc. Then eventually had to go so someone replaced him and due to lag, and not being able to face people but we tried are best but its hard on this shite of a game. It took literally a few hours to get this one match done.

 

Seriously it pains me so much having to play it but anyway that's my rant over with.

Is it the game...or is it your guys connection? Bold was having problems connecting with people a few weeks ago but he updated his router settings and now its fine.

[The Guy Fausto]

I only have one thing to say...

 

RAAAAAAAAAAAAPAAAAAAAAAAAAADOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Cross Examination

*** out of ****

Riot kicks off with Strider asking Vimes for the night off. Vimes wants to see the EX and Tag champ in action so Strider gets booked against the rookie Aries.

 

So I thought this would a major squash, but DAMN! First match of the night has potential to be THE match of the night. Starts off slow but the ending is great. Aries reverse a ground finisher attempted by Strider. Aries then gets the upper hand and has Strider set up for his Frog Splash but that’s reversed! Both go at it again back and forth again but Strider, as expected, pulls out the victory. I was VERY impressed by Aries performance. Damn good match and Aries already has proved he can be a top competitor in the EX division.

 

A backstage promo between Smythe and Leon takes place. Leon is determined to win the Hardcore Title against the unstoppable Stevens. After the ruthless attack from Stevens last week, Leon is determined to get some revenge. Smythe says he will be at ringside to make sure things don’t get out of hand. It also appears that Leon and Smythe have put their issues aside and are ready to coincide.

Fearo aka “Lard of Love” is locked inside his pitch dark room backstage, with a delivery boy, sound proof walls, and Forkhead is going to kill them. Both realize they are going to die. And it’s BACK TO RINGSIDE!

 

Someone stole Parkers shoes, most likely it was Leon. Stevens’s demands the matched to be cancelled but Vimes doesn’t agree. Looks like Parker will be wrestling shoeless. LEON….GET THE…Tacks? Yeah not included in the game.

 

“Smythe DaWonder is back”…from last week’s Riot and he takes on Captain Chris Baxter. New attire for Baxter, liking this one a lot also. The match is fairly even all the way through. I liked the running shining wizard by Baxter on the turnbuckle…then Smythe no sold it. Smythe hits his “ “ yeah I forgot the name for the win. Solid match, but nothing amazing.

 

Anthony Martin comes into Vimes’ office demanding to be placed into the hardcore title match tonight. Since he was also attacked by Parker, Martins wants revenge as well. However Vic Vimes tells him he must wait until after Road to Glory to get a match with Parker. If Vimes doesn’t handle the situation, Martin says he will take it into his own hands. I dug this promo a lot, I don’t know why exactly. I’m definitely looking forward to the post Road to Glory match with Martin. Nice RP added in there.

 

The Drunk is returning! Classic video, only Double A could get away with nudity ha. Oh man that got me laughing hard when I saw that naked chick. Nice promo, nice choice of music as well.

Smythe takes a trip to see Stevens. He tells him not to go overboard on Leon and that he wants Stevens 100% for the PPV. However, what Smythe said went in one ear and out the other and Steven warns Smythe if he gets in his way he may just have to make him bleed as well.

 

I’m liking the new entrance Parker. Good stuff. Match was damn close took awhile for the weapons to be used. But with Smythe on the outside you knew something was going to go down. Leon hits his finisher but Smythe is right there to deliver a sledgehammer to his gut. Smythe then helps Parker retrain his hardcore title. Interesting turn of events, nice work guys the storyline is really developing nicely.

 

Lard of Love is trying to escape out a vent but ends up getting stuck. The delivery boy Johnny…I mean Donny helps him out then rushes to try himself. The vent breaks sending both guy falling into…a paddle pool? In a room with no doors and a camera? What the hell is going on?! HA! Fearo begins banging on the walls and of course finds a trap door. AND ITS BACK TO RINGSIDE!

Tension between Bold and Cross continues to build. Bold is waiting for Cross before he goes to his match. Bold begs for Cross to hit him, knowing that if Cross does it will break the restraining order and Cross will go back to prison. However, Cross says that things will be done the right way and stooping down to Bold’s level won’t get him anywhere. After Cross heads out to the ring Bold leaves along with his sledgehammer he had been hiding behind them

 

So my match with Guy I thought was pretty good. Guy pretty much reversed all my big grapples. And his little run before grappling through me off every time. I’m obviously lacking in setup moves after watching our match and the Nate Bold match. I got elbow dropped for the loss two weeks in a row…I’m a little heated. Look for me to put on a good match with Mayhem this Riot, looking forward to it!

 

Speaking of Mayhem…he wants to make sure everyone forgets his loss last week to Smythe. Yeah I said it, take that anger out on me in ring. It will make for a good showing.

Guy is sure he will ended Versus career at Road to Glory. Guy thinks it’s only fitting to have a tribute video for Versus before he leaves so he made one himself. Of course the video is of Versus getting owned by him. Once it is finished Versus runs out with a chair but just misses the fleeing Fausto. Versus has a few words to say. He is convinced that he will beat Guy come Sunday and then will go on to win the CCW Title. Should be a good match at Road to Glory. Like the stipulation on this one.

 

MATCH OF THE NIGHT….possibly MATCH OF THE YEAR thus far (match that had no edited ending to make it look good, just a straight up fight). Bold proved he is capable of headlining and taking out the top talent on OCW. Nate gets worked and only if Bold would have done some head damaging moves it would have been over much earlier. However, kudos to Nate for sticking in there and fighting back. Once he saw the opportunity to end it he did, making Bold tap out. DAMN GOOD MATCH! If Bold would just shut up and fight, he could do some great things. But hopefully backstage politics don’t hold him down.

 

Fearo and Donny are now in a dark boiler room. They flick a switch and tons of forks begin filling up the room. Somehow the duck Fearo is caring is a switch which triggers a door to open and the two guys fall down and land on some pillows in front of a crowd of cheering people and a stupid game show host. They both have been randomly chosen for the game show “The Human RPG” and have one $1 million dollars and a trip to Vegas. Can’t argue with that. Reading this whole RP I was like what the hell is going on ha. Damn funny and interesting though. Nice RP Fearo, well done! …oh AND ITS BACK TO A CONFUSED RING SIDE! HA!

First I would like to say this next RP was written by our very own rookie Eddie Mace. He sorta just told me he would write an RP, I said go for it…but I was actually very impressed. I wasn’t expecting much but after reading I thought it was damn good (had it colored all right also) so I had him submit it for Riot. So well done Mace, keep that up dude. A-Jax and Eddie Mace come out while Bold is still recovering in the ring. They are without Cross because this business is between Mace and Bold only who will meet each other in ring at Road to Glory with the Restraining Order on the line! The rooks don’t allow Bold to get a word in, pointing out that Bold proved he couldn’t walk the walk after losing to Ortiz. I’m looking for a HUUUUGEEEE upset from Mace at the PPV….”YOU CAN DO IT!”

 

Alright Main Event time. Wow Blake actually looked a like a Champion in this match. He won one with no interference or anything. Ma’jin pretty much controlled the fight, but Kaang was able to get some shots in. Decent match. Oh and Casey is starting to annoy me standing on the damn ring all the time. One I don’t care for her much in the first place, I wish Brad would have taken her out for good in that match. 2nd she does nothing but stand there and run around. I don’t know it’s not that big of a deal, I know it’s for storyline purposes, just had to point out she annoyed me.

 

Final Thoughts: The show is over and I’m still thinking back to Double A’s promo found it really funny. Fearo’s promo had me laughing as well. Nice humor there guys. Riot was awesome it actually had tons of SOLID matches with some well written RPs as well. Like Smythe said we lacked a Sensational Alliance RP this week but I’m looking for big things come this PPV.

 

Match of the Night: Bold vs Nate hands down, possibly the best one on one match so far this year. I hoped this proved where Bold is able to stand. Still needs that win though. But damn good match to both.

 

Well that’s it for this week’s Cross Examination. I will try and get one for the PPV possibly but most likely it would only cover the OCW matches can’t write about them all.

 

CROSS HAS SPOKEN

[Chris Mania]

Wheres the Cross Examination for Turmoil then? I will not read or mark out for the Cross Examination until one is done for Turmoil. The Wonder Report can only be understood if you can read morse code.

 

EDIT: Just noticed you said you'd only cover OCW matches at the PPV, little biased don't ya think? It's your decision if you only want to watch the B Brand.

Honostly I wish I had the time too watch both and report on both. But im super busy with school as is. I was going to add at the end of it that someone from CCW should step up and write a Report it would help me out a lot!

[Chris Mania]

If I could write mate I'd be doing that asap, Gaines can write and he loves to write maybe with a nudge he can summarize our shows.

[Adrian Bold]

I MARK FOR THE CROSS EXAMINATION!!! That report makes all the hard work pay off when everyone gets a little bit of credit!

 

 

 

and Nate one hell of a match I'll get you next time franchise
