Summercide 2010

[Nathan Gaines]

First of all I loved loved loved the PPV. This shit was hot and definitely tied together some great storylines. I think in all this has been one of the best stretches in recent memory with storylines on all different levels of the card. So kudos to everyone who had a storyline that really impacted things.

 

Just some random thoughts not in order of apperance:

 

--I dug the Darkside Faction. KD looks badass by the way coming out I really hope he accepts his role as enforcer and embraces it. I think working with Smythe will be a great rub for Jook and KD, and I hope to see all three members flourish. With KD wrestling well and Jook having a great performance I think it definitely helped give the group backing. Nothing kills a group faster than a bad start in matches.

 

--> D-Jack has really come back strong and as long as his FPR stays strong I'm glad to see him back. YOu can tell he really enjoys being here and it's great to see him in a good storyline and writing some Solid RP's.

 

-->Parker looks like a badass and wrestles like one. Glad he's back and I'd like to see him continue to move up the ranks. It's always cool when a Hardcore guy is in the Main Event picture. Parker is the new age Majin in my opinion. Looking forward to seeing what he does.

 

--> EX Match was blah. Some nice spots but some clusterfuckness as well. I wasn't 100% happy with it or how I ended it seeing as it was a major PPV, but it lasted forever and it was within the rulebooks so it is what it is. I'm happy to have the title, and will do my best to continue to add to the prestige but just know I wasn't thrilled with the match myself.

 

--> Poe better find a solid storyline and get himself in mid-card again cause he's a huge asset. I love the way this guy writes and his characters are great. Woulda loved to see Joker Poe come out to face Parker. Woulda been a mark moment for me.

 

--> Arnaud returning didn't do much for me but he might be a nice addition to the EX I suppose.

 

--> I liked Rox's idea of the invitational but I guess I was expecting someone bigger to answer the call. Judas is a cool character I guess but he never seems to build up when he's around. Here's to hoping that changes this time if he sticks around

 

--> Dane is a prick but that's a good thing. If he keeps rollin like this he'll make for a nice mid-tier heel

 

--> Was disappointed there was no Trips-Smythe match. Both of these guys are on the cusp of being mainstay main event fued-ers and I woulda loved to see a solid wrestling match between the two. Valmont coming out was so so cause I know he needed to get involved somehow at the PPV but this didnt' do it for me. We've seen Trips Valmont so often so these two interacting sucked in my book.

 

--> Hostile Trance was a solid match, and I was suprised by the outcome. Hostile had a shit ton momentum comin' in, and I hope he still keeps rollin at the pace he's at even after Summercide, cause he's the hottest prospect right now in OCW hands down.

 

--> Main Event. Now I know there's been some discussion here, and from a story telling point I understand what the match was about, but it was billed as two legends facing off and I woulda loved to have seen a clean match between the two. Overall though I wasn't completely disappointed. Smythe getting involved made sense, because of how Fausto won the match, but he over blew the type of heel heat he would have generated from the crowd. WAY OVERBLOWN. Either way looking forward to see where Smythe takes this and I know he can spin it into something entertaining. I thought the ending was cool where Fausto sorta stood by Mayhem saying Smythe is in for it. I'd love to see a new school old school fued and I thought we were going to see Mayhem and Fausto team up for a second.

 

-->Finale: I was pumped when I saw that Aries was going to cash in his FI. It made sense after the destruction of Mayhem and was an "Oh Shit" moment. Valmont attacking him was pretty good, same with Trips getting Valmont. What bothered me was how the fuck does Aries get jumped by Valmont and kicked a few times and needs to be carted off where Valmont gets hit with a lead pipe by Trips and can rebound and fight?

 

**Sidenote and I'm being honest here. I don't think Valmont should be near the main event picture. He's improved drastically over the years no doubt, but he threw a tantrum like a 5-year old after Lution, and called Jay out big time. He said that OCW wouldnt' survive without him. In my eyes and I know it's not a big deal in the scheme of things but that killed how I view him. He should not be near the title for a while in my eyes. Guys like Trips Guy Mayhem Smythe(Who I feel is a great heel in terms of making people hate him) and Aries who I'd like to see get a run are all more deserving than someone who quit on OCW and said that he was bigger than the company

 

 

Overalll though freakin awesome show and glad I could be a part of it and thank you all for giving me something entertaining to watch on a Sunday

[Wesley Adams Poe]

Oh fausto I was invigorated to be on the ppv, and Invigorated by some of the talent on this show, and everything else. I mean I know I've flaked in the pass, but you are right I need to get my shit together and be someone here. I think it's time I work on it.

 

I agree with your notes on Darkside, Totally agree with your notes are Parker, but I'm not minding that he'll probably build some prestige to the tv title.

 

I get where you're coming from with the Trips Valmont feud but theres no title in this picture so their might be room for something different, which brings me to a point smythe made on this show, we all need to start being willing to work with anybody, despite this showing we still have few people, and part of why some storylines aren't going on is because, this guy won't work with this guy, and this guy refuses to work with this guy, there are people I don't like, but I'm gonna do my best to stop being so petty about shit and have fun here. I think thats what summercide brought back, no legends or old schoolers, but It seemed to bring the fun back. Sorry I'm posting so much, I'll shut up for a while now.

[Chris Baxter]

yeah.. was a bit off with my button mashing when it was recorded .. but then again it was like 3 weeks ago when i thought i was going to have to move back so my heart really wasnt in it ... and hey at least i didnt have to do a 2/3 times with dane this round

[Michael Morrison]

MADNESS REPORT

 

PAGE: 1

 

THE DARKSIDE: All Black Everything

 

With the absence of Leon, the Doomsday Theory was crumbling. Smythe, being OCW’s version of Starscream, saw his opportunity to once again lead a group as its one true king. The next step was gathering a set of dark knights to sit at his new round table: Jookie and Dangelo (D-Evolution) would be those knights.

 

http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/179/c/b/Megatron__s_Last_Supper_by_shibamura_prime.jpg

 

Calling themselves The Darkside (due to their lack of pale faces) and armed with a mobile patio – that can attach to any arena like a… patio Lego… or Patiego, if you will – they plan to stick it to the man with the giant black dildo of justice… which is ironic, because justice is blind so she technically can’t tell what color her dildo is. Huh. Anyways, moving on before I take this to a whole different level.

 

Smythe is no stranger to factions, having been a member of The Sensational Alliance, Bloodline and the recently disbanded (or so I assume) Doomsday Theory. He risks being labeled the anti-solo artist, having spent so little time without an entourage, but so far, whether they’ve lasted or not, the list of factions consisted of the whose-who in OCW. Will black-lightning strike again with The Darkside, or will Smythe be looking for another team in 3 months?

 

More importantly… what does the WHITE POWER ranger think of all this?

..................No sir, I don't like it................

SINGLES MATCH

Justin Rockstar vs. ?????????

 

Who would dare challenge Justin Rockstar on such hallow ground? See what I did there? Also, I prefer the mystery man’s old entrance music better… fit his swagger betta.

 

One last thing: concerning who ever supplied the soundtrack for the match; please don’t tell me your music library only consists of TNA entrance themes, because if it does, you are truly missing-out my friend.

D. JACKSON: Butterflies Have Transformed Into Woodpeckers

 

I can’t make lines like that up, but I must say it makes for an intriguing title. Jackson seems to respect his first Summercide opponent, Dylan Jones, but Jim Black worries that Jackson’s growing hatred of D-Evolution may cause him to look past Dylan Jones. Jackson assures everyone that he’s not looking past Jones; in fact, he claims that Jones is his primary focus tonight.

 

OCW TV CONTENDERS MATCH ?

David Jackson vs. Dylan Jones

 

“The One and Only” Dylan Jones t-shirts are now available at OCWear.com. I dig the shirt; not sure about the back, but the front is all win… just like an Asian stripper with implants. Speaking of big, circular objects: Dylan, I don’t know if it’s just me, but you gots ‘a big noggin. Maybe it’s the hair?

 

It seems like this was a Television Title contender match, so I’m running with it: One man scoots closer to the TV, while the other is sent to the kitchen to retrieve snacks. Yeah, I’m not sure where I was going with that reference either, but it made sense in my mind’s eye.

 

XAVIER: Man On the Moon

 

OCW really needs to have an annual Human Resources training class for its interviewers… not exactly the most professional bunch. None the less, Xavier was able to turn the other cheek. He seems ready for his match against Baxter and showed no signs of fear or trepidation. In fact, it was like everything was going according to plan.

ARNAUD: Guys Going Hard In Ex-Division

 

It writes itself, really. A relative unknown (I sure as hell don’t know him) returns to put his Canadian stamp on the Ex-Division in a manner befitting of Chris Ryder, himself. No love for fellow Canadian, Tyler Ewanchuck? Captain Canada? Nothing huh… that’s cool I guess.

OCW TELEVISION TOURNEY: ROUND 1

Parker Stevens vs. Wesley Adam Poe

 

Parker is back in action and faces the WAP. Oh, it’s on. If you were to try and distinguish which superstar was more macho by their looks alone: Parker is sporting the leathers, denim shorts and Chucks while WAP is sporting traditional tights with frilly boots… but then again, he’s rockin’ the mullet, so I say it’s about even.

 

As far as whom wins… let me just say, “Snap into it!”

 

XAVIER/HOSTILE: Like a Fat Kid Going to McDonalds

 

Not sure what the reference meant, but I’m out of touch with today’s youth, so I’ll overlook it. Before his match against long-time rival, Xavier has a run-in with the Herald of Hostility, Brandon Hostile. Unwarranted comments of weight were exchanged, but subtextualy (yeah, that’s a real word) it was all about who pushes more weight… me thinks.

 

It could also be a way to throw us off a possible alliance. Imagine the horror if Hostile and Xavier joined forces… I just vomited a little in me mouth.

ARIES/GAINES: Two Different Paths Begin

 

Future Investment winner, Aries, makes it to Summercide after resolving his Visa troubles. Visa, it’s everywhere you want to be… even if you can’t go there. Gaines is still a little upset about Aries’ lack of help during his “car accident” but they both agree to put the past behind them… like a car that just ran you over, hehe.

 

Both men have, what adults like to call, a mutual break: they both have different roads to take, so they part ways… supposedly with no bad-blood.

 

SINGLES MATCH

Dane Xavier vs. Chris “The Thickness” Baxter

 

As mentioned in the card, this is a rematch, 1 year in the making. Although both opponents are quite different from one-another, they both see this match as a symbol of their progression. This may pull-up a seat for Xavier at the “high rollers” table while simultaneously providing the ground-floor of Baxter’s rebirth. When we look back at this match in a few months time, which symbolic moment will be predominate? I’ll leave that up to the gentlemen in the ring.

FAUSTO: No Matter How Much I Hate and Despise You All

 

That’s right, no matter how much he resents us all, he’s willing to put his very body, and possibly his soul, on the line to ensure that people walk away from Summercide with their minds blown and their money well-spent. With such a selfless act, it begs the question… what’s Fausto really up to?

 

That’s right, like a priest in a Kindergarten…

 

http://www.damnfunnypictures.com/thumbnails/funny-animals-watching-you.jpg

 

…I’m watching you, buddy.

 

OCW TV TOURNEY: ROUND 2

K. Dangelo vs. Iceberg Le’Tuce

 

Good match. Le’Tuce didn’t really look rusty at all and even managed to counter a ground finisher near the end. Nice, but was it enough?

 

PAGE: 6

 

SMYTHE: Zero Relevance

 

It doesn’t look like the fans will get their match as Smythe refuses to compete against Trevor one-mo-agains. From his point of view, there is no relevance to the match, thus the risk outweighs the gain for the dark one.

 

McMANUS: Oh, It’s Relevant

 

Trevor doesn’t care if Smythe doesn’t see the relevance, because to Trevor, this match is another step towards the OCW Heavyweight Championship.

 

VALMONT: It’s Not Personal… It’s Personal Business

 

Valmont puts the boots to McManus… because that what he do. Unfortunately, it looks like Smythe also gets his way, because we don’t get to see the match. Boooooo, Boooooo….

 

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lo54dCVcMlA/S6JRd-YVXHI/AAAAAAAAAd0/7xlTFUF-oKk/s400/princess_bride_boo.jpg

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

FAN’S CHOICE MATCH

Smythe Da Wonder vs. Trevor McManus

 

Yeah… not happenin. Booooooo.

 

MAYHEM: Because You Are A Pussy, Jim

 

Can’t argue with that logic. But seriously, when Mayhem is asked about his Fausto infestation and the ever-persistent presence of Smythe, he replies in true, dominant fashion by simply stating, “The thing they both have to realize is that you can’t stop me.”

 

Considering his current reign as OCW Heavyweight Champion… you can’t argue with that logic either.

OCW EX-DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

Nathan Gaines vs. Jookie Marley vs. Katinzo Hatachi vs. Aries

 

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Aries in the ring, but I gotta say the hombre looked clean. Nice fade going; some new tights and colors. Now, in order to avoid any “Mikey has a man-crush on Aries” comments, let’s move onto the match itself.

 

Not too many spots, considering the recent Ex-Division hype, but seeing as the Ex-Division Championship was on the line, I can forgive that. I did notice that Hatachi tried to pull a sit-n’-pin, as he stepped out of the ring for a good second. Unfortunately he wasn’t quick enough to capitalize. Coincidentally, he came up short, twice, allowing the Dark Horse to cross the finish line.

TRANCE/GAINES: Easy With the Hostility

 

Trance is faced with the task of putting down his former protégé, but due to Brandon/Brendon’s past actions, Trance is worried that their one-on-one match could turn into an ambush. The idea of losing this battle because of a sucker-punch, doesn’t sit well with Trance so he asks Gaines for a favor: to watch his back for one night.

 

Gaines, however, turns his back; showing the world that he still has no trust for the supposedly changed man who calls himself Jacob Trance. The drama is thick in the air, along with a foreboding and uneasy feeling. The story is coming to an end and we are left without a hero… or will a hero emerge from the ashes of villainy?

OCW TV TOURNEY FINALE

????? vs. ?????

 

Jesus… after that performance, I feel sorry for the #1 contender.

OCW NA CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

Jacob Trance vs. Brandon Hostile

 

A long dramatic pause after the intros, followed by a no-soundtrack match. At first I was a little saddened by the lack of muzak, but in a match like this, it’s sometimes better to let the audience focus on the action.

 

Congrats to the winner and in-no-way do I mean to take away from either competitor, but I could tell how it was going to end by the way the match was going, so that bummed me out a bit.

 

PAGE: 8

 

TRANCE/HOSTILE: Cue the Music

 

Holy shit on a stick (or as we call them in America… corndogs). The match may be over but it looks like the drama continues to march on. A new and surprising ally is revealed while a tittering hero must make a decision to solidify his wavering allegiance: return to the light or finally succumb to the weight of the world and its unfair nature. I actually couldn’t tell which way he was going to go on this one, which made it all-win for Mikey. Good stuff fellas, show them how it’s done.

OCW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

Guy Fausto vs. Mayhem

 

Or, as the card appropriately puts it, Legend vs. Legend. Two of the most respected and currently active HoF members, face-off for the first time and for the greatest prize on this damn planet: the OCW World Heavyweight Championship. The title that says you are the best in the biz at what you do.

 

Ever since Mayhem was able to retrieve his precious, he’s been reluctant to let it go; guarding his gold like a demonic dragon. Many brave souls have entered his cave with the intention of plundering his treasure, but they all barely escaped with their lives, let-alone with the gold.

 

Now, an unexpected hero comes forth, not for gold… but for reasons of valor and honor. Some say he’s finally lost it; that he’s suffered so many contusions he’s officially become retarded. I say he knows exactly what he’s doing. What better man to kill a beast, than one who cares not of its treasures? What better hero to send into hell, than one who is possibly mentally ill and doesn’t realize what hell is? To you, good sir, I proudly salute. Let the show… begin.

 

The beginning of the match doesn’t look good for Fausto, who had trouble building momentum. Even though Fausto went for the first cover of the match, Mayhem kicked out before the ref could even make a one-count. Yeesh, best describes my thoughts at the beginning.

 

It wasn’t until 15:00 – 16:00 in the match, that Fausto managed to hit some good spots that left Mayhem reeling. At this point, it was anyone’s ballgame… it was at this point I began to think that Fausto may very-well pull this off. Unfortunately, due to interference by Smythe, the match concludes on a sour note, leaving many to wonder if a Mayhem/Fausto II is inevitable.

 

Why would Smythe taint such a monumental match? If you remember, Fausto and Smythe had a match to determine who would face the Monster. It was here that Mayhem shocked the fans by making sure the Neurotic Nerd had his hand raised after the dust settled. Sure, Smythe seemed to have moved on, but did you really think he’d let something like that just slip-by? It’s funny, because this makes my Starscream comparison even more relevant lol.

 

Some might say that Mayhem’s actions sealed the fate of The Doomsday Theory; thus forcing Smythe’s hand. Smythe would use said hand to repeatedly put metal to Mayhem with chair-shot after chair-shot. It was none other than Fausto who eventually ended the assault, leaving us and Smythe to ponder a haunting question… is it better to quickly end thy enemy… or allow nature to take its slow, but often painful course?

 

SURPRISE: But Wait… There’s More

 

EDIT: Ha, Poe and I thought of the same title.

 

If you thought Valmont was done for the night, you guessed wrong, buck-o. Also, don’t forget that Aries has the power to challenge any champion at any time for their title… because that’s kind of important stuff to remember. Of course, technically, he who holds the contract; holds the Future. Chew on that.

 

</ NEXT>>

[Mayhem]

POE and Gaines I have to say you guys did a really good job on your reviews kinda made me discouraged lol.

 

Great PPV anyhow guys

 

*EDIT*

 

Yea now Mikey comes in with the slay

 

nope no reason to proceed

[Smythe D. Wonder]

to comment on what people are saying about the Main Event finish...

 

Mikey hit it on the nose... and it's something you'd have to be following to understand I guess... basic facts are:

 

Smythe is the most self-centered wrestler of all time.

Mayhem Screwed Smythe out of Summercide outright.

Mayhem vs Fausto was hyped as a "dream match"

Mayhem is dark by nature but isn't heelish in actions.

Smythe is Heelish in actions... all the time...

it's Fausto that hates Smythe with relentless Passion... from his way of life to his assholishness... Smythe simply can't beat Fausto in a wrestling match... which leads to rivalry hatred...

 

Smythe pretty much attacks Mayhem because Mayhem is all that is in Smythe's way of having his dream. He deliberatly stopped Smythe from Summercide. Almost holding him back, Smythe hates being held back more than anything.

 

Makes perfect sense TV wise for Smythe to ruin the Main event and attack his former Ally... He's done it to Leonheart, Nate Ortiz and Guy Fausto... it's what he does...

 

now with that aside...

 

SUMMERCIDE WAS FUCKING EXCELLENT...

alot of angles... alot of storylines and alot of matches... some better than others but for the most part even the wrestling was really good... I was impressed with that!!!

 

Loved watching the TV title tourney... Parker was the favourite going in... K D really impressed me... I love his moveset now!!!

D-Jack and D. Jones was really good as well... the eveness with Judas and Justin Rockstar was a good watch... Thought Hostile would show better against Trance... and good to see Gaines with the EX title... overall great show...

 

I think the answer to the kickout blues is just not allowing the hold A button kickout meter at all... and leave it all to the button mashing... the hold meter is green while the button mash one is yellow... very easy to differenciate... somethign to look into...

 

best Video of the night was the finale... fantastic Dialouge... I loved it all pretty much... great PPV guys!!!!

 

oh yeah... the ALL BLACK EVERYTHING catchphrase isn't about three black guys... it's a reference to the Free Masons and their dresscode... The Darkside is more than a faction it's an elitist organization with plans for total domination!!! deep I know... lol

[Michael Morrison]

PS. No Mad Mike and OCW U info made me sad.

Yeah... sorry 'bout that, but considering how everyone and their mother was boasting big announcements/events at Summercide, I felt it was better to wait until after the PPV for the big reveal.

 

Do not fret, for the Underground will make it's emergence soon.

[Michael Morrison]

to comment on what people are saying about the Main Event finish...

 

Mikey hit it on the nose...

Thank you... thats kinda what I do... I hit things... on the nose.

 

oh yeah... the ALL BLACK EVERYTHING catchphrase isn't about three black guys... it's a reference to the Free Masons and their dresscode... l

Oh boy, don't tell me you're one of those people who think Jay-Z and Kanye are part of the Illuminati?

 

I discovered this group of people after posting the "Power" parody video. Apparently, allot of people think the "Power" video is full of super secret hidden messages and images, revealing that Kanye is in fact part of the Masons or some-such.

 

Considering the director, and having seen the original video, it's all just people reading too deep into things. Not that I'd judge Smythe for believing is such a thing...

 

 

 

 

 

...sucker. o_O

[Vincent Valmont]

-->Finale: I was pumped when I saw that Aries was going to cash in his FI. It made sense after the destruction of Mayhem and was an "Oh Shit" moment. Valmont attacking him was pretty good, same with Trips getting Valmont. What bothered me was how the fuck does Aries get jumped by Valmont and kicked a few times and needs to be carted off where Valmont gets hit with a lead pipe by Trips and can rebound and fight?

 

**Sidenote and I'm being honest here. I don't think Valmont should be near the main event picture. He's improved drastically over the years no doubt, but he threw a tantrum like a 5-year old after Lution, and called Jay out big time. He said that OCW wouldnt' survive without him. In my eyes and I know it's not a big deal in the scheme of things but that killed how I view him. He should not be near the title for a while in my eyes. Guys like Trips Guy Mayhem Smythe(Who I feel is a great heel in terms of making people hate him) and Aries who I'd like to see get a run are all more deserving than someone who quit on OCW and said that he was bigger than the company

 

don't like having to do this but just to clarify things it was fairly easy to attack a guy smaller than me who competed in a fourway match earlier in the night so Aries wouldn't exactly be 100 percent. Also i don't think it said he was carted off just helped to get away while the brawl erupted. Aries was just trying to get away with his briefcase and well being still in tact. Who knows if Trevor was going to give the briefcase back before he saw me getting up? Plus Aries wouldn't of been able to cash in his briefcase anyway due to being attacked, and his small window of chance to cash in the f.i was most likely closed with the attack.

 

As for me I wasn't booked, and so for the person who has fought Parker Stevens more times in hardcore matches than anyone else I think I'm used to taking punishment with weapons. As you see the damage from the lead pipe was done as it took it's toll in the end.(no spoilers)

 

For that last comment each has their own opinion on things, ill leave it at that. good reviews so far.

[Michael Morrison]
