Stop being a hater 

It was a very good show that was extremely full of content. It’s been a while since I have tried to do a review but figured why not. (After finishing this, holy shit there was a lot to review)

OCW even in the time I have been here has grown a lot in terms of the production standard and the bottom floor of our production if you will. So, congratulations to everyone because that is quite an accomplishment.

There has been a Megan Suzuki sighting. I like the character and hope to see more of her. I am more interested in what we find out about Beatrix. She seems cold, confident, and calculated. Nice hype for the opening contest and will get to more about them on the match.

Belle and Ashley have put together an extremely intriguing feud to this point. I am glad they are continuing to do this. Ashley as the heel was the instigator and had Belle on the backfoot for a while. It’s a nice reward to see Belle getting her back. Nicely done with the camera angle of Ashley at the end.

Samsin has a good voice for his character and can writes some very nice promos. I won’t discuss the garbage spewed during this promo however. As we all know it’s not true and an unfounded accusation.

Our first Marisaverse appearance of the night in an interview with Brian Williams. Her and Mad Dawg are giving some very toxic vibes here and Brian doesn’t help by hyping up the El Parca connection. Nice written segment that begins to further tensions in multiple directions.

Nice match between Beatrixx and Megan. Beatrixx appeared to be in control most of the match. I will need my royalties for the “Bingo Died For My Sins” you hit on Megan FYI. Loved the Flojo cut in during the match. Beatrixx has an interesting blend traditional moves, more modern flashy moves and strike combos. I hope we see more of Megan, she has a good look and could be a nice baby face in this women’s division.

On a personal note, it’s crazy to hear your voice open a video package and not be expecting it. Quartz is at an interesting place in his career, and this does a good job of illustrating his issues with B17. He has really made this a personal issue and loved vibe around the entire segment. Quartz seems to have a list and he’s crossing names off of it.

I thought the Omen promo worked for what it needed to accomplish. He is getting better at video production and his presence is being felt.

Nice to see Scotty X getting back into things. I wish him well and will continue once his webshow segment is up.

John dressing like Jackmo was funny. Jackmo getting mad about it is funny as well. I liked the Make Ambition Great Again name but can understand why they dropped it. DARK MAGA is such a dumb idea that it fit well. Not sure about the name but I will give it time to grow on me.

Marisa vignette, won’t say much. Short and sweet, Ry is super talented.

Back with Scotty X he is reliving all of his past encounters with DNS and The Temple of Omen. The Wake up thing feels like some stuff I have seen Wrex do in the past. Not saying it is him but that left me wanting to know more. Not sure I love the empty pain killer angle, but if he rises above it and overcomes it’ll be a good story.

I don’t normally comment on DNS stuff. However, I heard some commentary about him. Petr is filling a valuable role in DNS and I look forward to Baker getting a bit better on the sticks.

Glad to see Belakor doing stuff to keep furthering himself even outside the DNS ecosystem. Jacob Hawk should probably watch his mouth. Should be interesting to see what these two come up with. Good work liked the still shot of Belakor near the end.

Nice to see Christine making the rounds on the interview circuit. More on her later.

I will cover the multipart Sherlock/Watson with the main event.

Mad Dawg cuts a nice promo here and begins shedding his DNS aesthetic. Nice promo overall even if it was all bullshit.

Nice short segment with Christine seeing Dragana. I like the way they’ve worked Christine into the Draganaverse. More to come on this.

BAE BAE is huge man. I say that everytime he shows up on OCW TV. Jackmo and his ring rust were exposed here. John fought hard as any good face should. Nice length for a team match both teams worked quite well together. I would like to see some uniform gear from the Executive Order. Nice win for ClickBAE.

 

Kass challenges Bolek to a match at End Games. A steel cage with no escape allowed. Guess they watched the Apocalypse match and said fuck that. Should be interesting to see if Bolek accepts the match.

 

I like you sold out chants, and Quartz gear looks very nice. The daddy line build up was chefs kiss. Really enjoyed the aura of

Quartz and they are building quite the interesting story here.

 

The womens fatal 4 way match that would never end. I would cut it differently if we were cutting things. The Apocalypse match for me was a good learning experience regarding that. Sue plex showed out in her last match in the company. Big win for Skadi getting her some momentum. Bobbi’s gear was absolutely fire.

 

Pugh working the rookies out at the combat center has finally had enough of this. He is back in business for himself only. I am very happy to see a more focused Paul Pugh if he stays out of my way. Pugh told them how he really felt about the situation. Segment was very well written and served the purpose.

 

Very nice celebration segment for UE. Damn that thing was long. I am really starting to believe in them as a group. The hype video of all them was done a good recap of their short history. They deserved to have this celebration and I want to keep seeing big things. I would like to see the in game stuff cut in the future for a recap video like this. Just a small nitpick.

 

We just talked about Skadi and her big win in that fatal four way. Now we have her addressing her last feud partner in Marisa. She still seems to have an axe to grind with the world champion. Nicely written and I like the “Storm is coming” stuff.

 

Sheldon and Petie was my MOTN. Two guys who just really get what OCW is about. Lots of drama with long counts for people to get back into the ring. This match was so back and forth anyone could have won it at anytime. These guys also understand their characters strengths and how to play up to them. I loved the couple of near falls they had and was legit on the edge of my seat watching. Great work to both of these guys.

 

Devon Flash is getting in his shit heel back and I am here for it. Who is not here for it is Nate “The Great” Ortiz. Told the young man he wasn’t ready to step into the ring with a legend. Monica big timing Devon was also hilarious. Nate saving her at the end with the “Come On” was also a very nice touch. Liking the direction I am seeing from Flash, and always appreciate the fact

Nate is willing to mix it up with just about anyone.

 

Marisa is so damn toxic and her relationship with Dawg is too. Dawg messed up leaving DNS for this strumpet. Also touching JCS isn’t the thing I would advise anyone to do. As always waiting for more of this trainwreck next week.

 

Dragana is always trying to bring up new talent. Christine is no different in this respect. Her involvement in a feud with Dragana could serve to give her the momentum it did Junko. I like Bolek too, so I am happy he is getting this chance. Christine and her growth as a character in terms of her look has been nice.

 

Sheldon shows up to give Luis Bishop a warning. I like the “You already went through one “Foster parent” and Parca won't be any better.” line. Sheldon is in an interesting place as he has clearly changed. I don’t think I buy that all the light has been let out of his heart. Luis is the type of character who fits in a group setting quite well. Good segment and I hope to see more between these two.

 

A Larry Mugen sighting in our Quartz Inner Struggle video. Very nicely put together and this continues to add to my excitement for their encounter. Whenever that should end up being. The Mugen thread between B17 and Quartz should be noted as I think it will be a factor in some way.

 

The Sherlock/Watson stuff was fucking hilarious. I am happy to take a joke at my expense and others did as well. Both guys leaned into their funny and less serious sides. I think they managed to balance these things quite well. Iceman is a taco mark so him getting distracted by those makes a lot of sense. It was a nice way to do a secret warz main event.

 

Speaking of the main event Cold Front was ultra impressive after their respective losses at Clash. When this thing started I thought there was no chance for Cold Front and the early part of the match supported that theory. Iceman countering the Trouble in Tijuana right into the Icebreaker was a great way for this to end. The Nova appearance adds an extra layer to this. Sheldon showing up at the end to back Cold Front leaves me a lot of unanswered questions. I get he hates El Parca. Overall a fun main event and a good show.

 

As always thanks to JCS and everyone who helps make these shows possible. Thank you if you read all of my rambling thoughts as well.
