Lord of the Ring: Week 9

[Michael Morrison]

Baxter tries to Parker his ship where the sun don't shine, BDTTP faces a tag team thats straight out of cell block R (for rookies), Double A goes for his first Double U, Kage faces Kang but kan he konquer his kourages kombat skills, OCW double "Parks" once again and Guy avoids another ranked match as he faces three opponents. That's right, we're going around the net... or at least stopping at one corner of the net to check out what OCW.FED has to offer.

 

Before I get started, let me give a shout out to Ministry and Crowe by posting the updated results to their match on Turmoil.

 

Ministry: 336 + 30 = 366

Lucas Crowe: 272

HIGH SCORE LORD

KANG JAMES: Sitting at 420... which is actually a number that's popping up on the charts more and more. Odd. None the less, James may continue his losing streak, but comes out smelling like roses. Sure, roses that have been ripped apart, peddle by peddle each week, but even a dying rose smells kind of nice. Actually, that may not be true, but for the sake of argument, lets just say it is.

 

As I mentioned, The Kang has the longest running losing streak on record so far, but he's a consistent fighter and averages about 302 points per match so far. He tacks on another loss, but with also scores his highest ranked match against Kage - my favorite to destroy Nate once and for all.

 

Could The Kang finally be on his way to beheading all those that stand before him while his peasants cheer with glee for more? Perhaps, or could this just be a case of Ring-Rust on Kage's part? Hard to say, but if Kang does start climbing the ranks, remember this day as the first sign that lead to his warpath of destruction.

 

CLOSEST MATCH

KAGE vs. KANG: Hmmm... it was the closest match as well. However, I wasn't able to rank Bold vs. Stevens, so if I am able to get a video of the match without chunks missing, this section could be edited later.

 

BIGGEST GAP

LEONHEART vs. DOUBLE A: 95 points before pinfall - only two points bigger than Stevens / Baxter - but with only three rankable matches this week on RIOT, it's slim pickin's. Umm... RIOT is making things hard on me here. Leonheart is a tough guy to start off with, but at least Double A didn't piss off the SensAnal Alliance.

 

I did mark for Double A's entrance video, which features a nice montage for the most popular single mothers of America. That's right, I'm talkin' bout Strippers.

 

Also, a nice clip from a movie or show that I've never seen, but features one of the best bar beatdowns I've eva seen. I remember seeing the full clip during his promo: The one that lasts 30 minutes and features a never ending bike ride. However, he does lose some cool points for busting the can on his head with a bandana for cushioning. Break the skin and let the beer drip in.

 

HONORABLE MENTION

GOOD USE OF 3-ON-1 SITUATION: Even though I usually detest these 2-on-1 or 3-on-1 matches, I actually really enjoyed what they did here. Fausto fought each member, one at a time, one after another, with each opponent tagging out once Guy had them in DR... with the exception of Ma'Jin.

 

First up was Smythe, who had the most amount of ring-time with Fausto, I believe. Next up was Casey, who was able to finally get the dork DR. Lastly was the ring-leader if you will, Ma'Jin, who picked apart the remaining pieces.

 

After the match, they proceeded to go ToP on Fausto, which was a surreal scene for me to watch, considering how many times we've done that to others. Aw... good times. It leads to a nicely done RIOT moment where Smythe hoists the limp (hehe) Fausto upon his shoulders and carries him up the ramp and beyond the curtain to an undisclosed location.

 

Some of you may know how tedious it can be to coordinate even the simplest of ideas while on XBOX Live, no matter how simple it may seem when first thought out. Also, to Fausto's credit, it took a little over 13 minutes and two opponents to get the bastard DR.

thanks for the 3 way credits as we tried to find a way to make it not so boring to watch.... Majin came up with the idea...

 

yet another great week with the LOTR stats... Reversal Kang gets his moment on top... and I wasn`t surprised at all... he`s pretty frustrating in the ring.. as he keeps you from doing what you want to in the ring...

[Versus]

Hey Mike, whenever someone scores a 420, can you put that in green? Just seems fitting.

[Nick Kage]

fucking KANG JAMES!! he is a machine with reversing. if you look back i hit 0 power or strong moves. thats why my points where low. nice one Kang but let these be a lesson... you may think can out play Kage but i will still win.

[Nate Ortiz]

We will see about that on April 6. I'll out play and beat you sir.

[Versus]

Nate, what did I tell you about talkin trash? NEVER end it off with sir!

[Nick Kage]

We will see about that on April 6. I'll out play and beat you sir.

 

im gonna gut you from nuts to neck and watch you fade as the ring turns crimson red!

[Nate Ortiz]

That will be a nice little dream you can have as you lay knocked out in the center of the ring. If I feel like it I may just grab a bottle of 151 and do what I should have done in 06 to you.
