I love how Karim even manages to turn the ppv thread into as flame war..lmao...and to be fair, the first like, 9 minutes of your match against Trips, he beat you like a red headed stepchild,your comeback was mainly running moves and whips...and Smythe would bury you..but keep it up dude :D you generate ALMOST as much heat as Craig and Doug.

Road 2 Glory was probally one of our better PPVs lately and I hope that how well done R2G went it'll be a sign of things to come for Lution. On a side note for R2G. The commentary was top notch. Many people don't notice it, but the commentary plays a important part of a show or ppv. I hope yall enjoy this big ass review for R2G.

The show is only beginning and we already have someone being kicked out of the arena. A brief altercation spills over between current Turmoil GM, Regan and former Riot GM Vimes. It seemed Regan used his extra height and ordered Vimes to be escorted from the building, but don't worry because Hobo Fausto is a gansgta.

 

I mark for Air's video. I admit it felt like a soap opera, but one of those good episodes. Can't wait to see what Air has planned to get revenge against VFM and Coop.

 

I suppose Blade got his driver's license from wal-mart.

Rox is a very brave man to be calling out Poe for a rematch. Although it is a nice change of things to see someone else going after Poe instead of vice versa. :) Overall I think Rox is improving on his RPs, but he's not quite there yet. He does a good job in presenting his character in his RPs, but he still uses the old generic heel attitude of "I'm better than you and everyone. Never be like me". Just be more creative, but continue with the efforts and you'll get to where you need to be over due time.

 

A-Mart vs Karim 3/5- Before I review this match I would like to say that I personally dislike Karim's theme music. Even though the cam ninja makes an apperance, I still hate manager views and will continue to do so. This match reminds me of those TNA heavyweights. I see LHVY moves, but these two wrestlers are supposed to be heavys? What's so bad about being a lhvy? I can understand A-Mart being a small heavyweight sorta like a Jericho, but Karim needs to go lhvy. Match started off slow for me and didn't pick up much pace until near the end where you saw neither was wanting to lose. I personally had A-Mart coming out with a W, but half way during the match my prediction started to feel wrong and Karim pull an upset. A-Mart got red limb dmg first, but it came off of head hunting imo. I don't know whether to feel sorry for Karim or laugh because he doesn't know of the R/O rule. All it took was a simple search or even ask. Besides the people's elbow is weak so A-Mart would've probally kicked out, but in the end the match belonged to A-Mart.

 

It seems that Cruz's better half of him seems to be gone. I hope so because OCW doesn't need anymore people hearing voices in their head. Overall it was a solid and simple RP. Carlos tries to pull a Deano and ends up pulling nothing. Better stick to the latino women.

It seems Karim is speechless from his L to A-Mart. I suggest therapy to get over such a tragic event.

 

Justin Roxx vs Poe 3.5/5 - The intro doesn't fit with the music or the music doesn't fit with the intro for yourself, Roxx. I will continue to mark for Poe. For 3 reasons. His character is the most menacing in OCW right now with Parker a very close second, Poe's intro music is markworthy and fits him perfect with his intro, and when he's having a good day in the ring I don't think there's anyone except a few who can beat him. I also like to add that I mark that he hasn't yet gotten that scar removed. :) Chris Mania comes down to the ring?! I guess 80s rockstars gimmicks gotta keep together. I mark for the new attire of Mania. The jacket is what brings it all together and the bits of orange. Only thing I have a problem with 2on1s is that the end result is almost always automatically predicted. Poe just proved my above statements are true with his strong performance in this handicap match and Poe's CAF is amazing if nobody caught that. I saw a few chances for this match to be ended, but I assume Mania was wanting to finish this with a CFC and i'll be damned if that ending was he best ending to a match i've seen in quite some time. Props to Poe for hanging in there, but the end result was coming.

 

Blade finally shows some emotion and hate in his RPs directed at VFM and I'm happy he finally does because it just make things better. I mean seriously?! VFM is pimpin' ya mom!

It seems a interesting stipulation has been laid on the line for tonight's match between Irving and Mayhem. I dig the direction that Irving is taking himself. I just hope he sticks with it for the long haul.

 

Pride Title Match 4.5/5- Hobo Guy Fausto vs Parker Stevens - Before I start to review this match I want to say that this match had the best hype leading up to it. Both of these men put the effort into what makes a feud into a great feud. This match couldn't have went any better. These are the type of matches that I want to see from OCW and especially at PPVs. I didn't mind Guy's running in this match. When I saw all of these finisher reversals I was already sold for this match to be motn, but when Guy kicked out of the elbow?! That was the deal breaker, but then again him kicking out at 1? Maybe a bit too shocking? Overall this was MOTN and I give props to both men's performances and hope this feud continues with the same fire that they started off with.

 

It seems Bloodline has a plan, but what if that plan backfires? What if MMM and SDW are the last 2 men standing?

Page 5-

Mayhem vs Irving 3.5/5 - I never said this yet, but I think Mayhem looks his best that he's ever looked before. I was disappointed that we didn't see some crazy shit in his intro. Irviing has one of the best intros and themes because it just fits with his character. After I saw the intros and looked at how short the match was I swear I thought someone got squashed, but as the match continues and the ending came. I admit I was shocked. I really didn't see Matt Wilson making a return. Complete markage, but my only negative thing is I would've liked to have seen more of a match between Irving and Mayhem before the return of Wilson and his big boot.

 

Vinidcator reveals that it's indeed him that has been haunting Gaines and he's not come to terrorize Nathan, but instead come help him? I personally think this feud is a sleeper heading to Lution if it can continue to be presented in the way it has been.

VFM/Cooper vs Blade/??? 4/5- I would like to personally give props to this feud between Blade and VFM. With or without the backstory between these two guys, I think this feud makes you wish OCW was back in it's glory days. Back when feuds wasn't scared to push the limits and got creative. VFM and Blade has done that and I'm letting them know that I mark for this feud and I want it to continue to Lution and even further than that. Don't forget that this match also has another feud involved. As for the match itself and Blade's tag partner? I marked for when I first saw this. I didn't think he would return in the same night. That video from earlier kinda threw me off a little bit and made me believe that Air was returning on Turmoil or Riot. I swear The "New" Air looks like he just came back from a porno movie with a Street Fighter theme. The tag match went better than what I expected. You gotta feel sorry for The Air. His return match to seek revenge and he ends up fighting VFM and Coop in a 2on1. I lol'ed at the Ballin' taunt by VFM when Coop was tossing Air out the ring. Finally Blade comes back into the match, but only to get more punishment....or does he?! I don't know if this was planned or if Cooper just snapped for the hell of it, but I didn't see it coming and I can't wait to see what VFM has in store for Cooper, Blade, The Air, and even Blade's mom.

 

Irving lays down the law for Team Irving. He makes it clear that he's the captain and Wilson is the hired guns, but I wouldn't be surprised that in the future, Wilson grows tired of Irving and wreaks havoc. Because that's what the "Maniac" Matt Wilson does!

Ex-Title Match - Aries vs Trance 3.5/5- Two friends doing battle for the biggest prize for any LHVY in OCW. I assumed this was a TLC match? This match went as expected. Fast paced and there was blood. I wished I would've saw alot more spots in this match. My favorite spot was the ladder spot with the rolling powerbomb and the five star frog splash to the outside, but my only negative thing to say about this match was that it felt like both of these men was just trying to hit as many spots as possible. Overall the match was good, I didn't like how the match could've been over way earlier than when it was, but I guess they was trying to add that neither man was wanting to pin the other. Congrats to the new Ex-Champ, Aries. I wonder if this will damage this new tag team of Aries and Trance?

 

Trips interview reminded me that he's S.O.L. I agree this BR seems more like a handicap for him, but if it's any wrestler that can win under pressure and in handicaps then it's Trips.

International Title Match - Kip vs Deano 3.5/5- Who's pink is stronger? Deano's or Kip's? I almost forgot who the INT Champion was going into this match. Another match with a manager view!? I loved the soundtrack to this match. In the beginning of this match it felt like both men was testing each other out. Not taking away anything from both of these men or this match, but there was nothing spectacular in this match. Both of these men gave strong performances and either one would've pulled away with the W. I did mark for Rachel getting knocked off the apron as it was only a matter of time. In the end it was Deano's night to walk away with the W and as the new INT Champ. Props to both men for their performances. I'm sure this W will be interesting to add to the already hyped feud of Nate and Deano.

 

Although I fount this video interesting, I sadly didn't understand what the hell it meant. I can only hope that we'll see what the big news is about on 3/29/09. Perhaps someone returning?

Page 9-

It's unbelievable that a feud with alot of hype and anitcipation and has yet to reach a match. With more weeks to follow until Lution, I personally think this feud is the top feud to beat. It already was a grade A feud, but now has the INT title thrown in the mix. I personally liked how Nate seperated himself from the others at the end of this RP between him and Deano. Nate's character is probally one of the most complex and controversial among OCW and without even having to try that hard. All of his promos are sharp and this was another one of those. Whether or not I believe Deano can beat Nate on the biggest PPV even in OCW history? I guess we'll see with the weeks to continue.

 

A nice little recap video for the hype going into the OCW Title Match. I hope yall enjoy it.

 

OCW Title Match - Valmont vs Leon - I never rate or comment on my own matches. I would like to thank Jay, staff, and Leon for giving me a shot into the main event for R2G and a chance to prove that I belong in the main event. I will continue to prove so until one of these days that OCW title will be around my waist. If anyone thinks otherwise then I'll be gladly to prove you wrong. I also like to agree that the hunting LKO would've looked amazing if Leon would've hit it after he reversed my finisher, but in the end the match was amazing and props to Leon for showing why he's indeed the OCW Champion.

#1 Contender to OCW Title Battle Royal - MMM vs Trips vs SDW vs Nate 4/5- A match with four of the most deserving wrestlers to be in this match. Before I review the match I would like to say that Smythe is probally the most creative when it comes to attires, intros, and his theme. Whether you hate him or like him, you've gotta agree with that statement. If there was ever a match that you wouldn't be able to predict a winner, this match would be one of them. Match starts off strong and for how bad targetting is in these type of matches, I was amazed at how well it didn't turn into a clusterfuck because of it. Then again you shouldn't be surprised because of who's in this match. Trips puts on a strong performances, but gets eliminated first. MMM is second, but after that ropebreak I thought MMM might have a chance then he taps and then predictable ending begins. My favorite spot of the whole match was that counter spear by Nate on SDW near the end. Props to SDW for pulling a clutch W and beating 3 other men to have the right to main event Lution against Leon.

 

Page 11-

The OCW Champion, Leon makes his way to the ring. A brawl occurs between SDW and Leon. I liked how Nate just stood in the corner and was awating the outcome. After seeing what happens to Leon, a smile was lifted on my face due to that LKO I received earlier. I guess when you're OCW Champ and the MF'er of the year, you'll draw some heat and to make it worse, it's heat from Nate Ortiz and SDW.

 

After the brief beating he just received from Nate and SDW, Leon crawls for a mic and let's everyone know that the games ends now. He's no longer the victim and with that we get a page 12!?

All I gotta say is welcome back. No spoilers for this page because you'll have to see it for yourself, in which I hope by now everyone has because it's total markage.
