Riot 9-02-2010

[Iceberg LeTuce]

Riot was fucking amazing this week.

 

I'm really liking the valmont/trevor/aries storyline.

 

I'm not sure if i like this "black uprising" we have going on here. I'm a Wigger.... can you let me live?

 

Also, i mark for D.Jones......just about everything about him.

[Trevor McManus]

The Underground thing only works if you genuinely get 'superstars from all over the world' which would entail getting people like Nate, Steve, Majin etc to compete using Japanese or Mexican wrestlers or something.

 

Otherwise the Underground thing is kind of pointless on the info we have at this point. You win a championship ring...which we can't actually get in the game.

 

I dunno. Call me nega-trips but it just sounds like a lot of energy that could have been used on a productive storyline.

[Seth Morrison]

Goddamn DJack. You are a weird mother fucker. It looks like my 4 yr old daughter put your oufit together for you... LOL

 

But damn good show. First one iver watched in a while. trying to get back into them

[Chris Baxter]

the attire took 10 minutes to put together it was simple but efficiant for a pirate look ... seriously would you rather have him look like he previously did where lookin better then him took 4 minutes of work

[Val Finale]

you might aswell play DJack's matches already to.

Yep... it's official, your new name is now Negative Nancy, or "nega-trips" which actually sounds a bit racist. Anyways, I was afraid something like this would happen so let me explain:

 

I may have been overselling a-bit when saying, "from around the world" but consider the tourney a separate entity from OCW. You can use your OCW character, of course, but it's not necessary because there is no storyline or gimmick to follow. Having said that, when I say "from around the world", I'm referring to the actual people involved, not their characters. You, for instance are not from the U.S. so that alone makes this global... if you were to join the tourney, that is. Same thing if Hazard or Mania were to join.

 

The comment on the "championship ring... which we can't actually get in the game" made me laugh, because 1) You've been competing for a belt, which you can't actually wear in real life and 2) If you win the tourney, you WILL be given a REAL, physical, custom CHAMPIONSHIP RING -- similar to the image shown in the video.

 

Let me say that again: If you win the tourney, you won't be getting a picture, a logo or stamp of a championship ring, you will actually win a real-life ring... that you can wear or keep on your mantle or whatever you kids do with rings these days.

 

Hence, why, in the first Underground article, I made reference as to how most people don't even know their ring size. Having said that, I suggest that everyone learn said information, if they have interest in The Underground Tourney.

 

Once I'm finished watching my RIOT -- made it to page 2 and I'm enjoying it so far -- I'll post my Mad Rep report and then post more detail about The Underground Tourney, to better clarify.

[Useless Dane Xavier]

If there isn't a spending limit on this custom championship ring, better believe Dane will be staying warm for the tourney.

MADNESS REPORT

 

PAGE- 1

 

FAUSTO

Smythe’s Agony Makes Everything Better

----------

Despite the inclusion of Smythe D. Wonder during the Summercide PPV, Fausto feels that it was still a success. With the ratings and positive feedback that Summercide has received, one would be hard-pressed to disagree. It didn’t go exactly as Fausto had envisioned, but no need to go splitting hobo hairs.

 

The PPV aside, Fausto has been ordered by JCS (CEO: Jaysin Sensation) himself to add his essence to the shows... and not by urinating on the backstage ficus. No, this time around he is simply ordered to add commentary. Sounds like a recipe full of win, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves and hide the ficus just in case.

 

Also… Fausto really, really hates Smythe. I’m talking the kind of hate that Double-A has for the hearing impaired; the kind of hate that The Steve has for laughing children within’ the vicinity of his front yard; the kind of hate that Americans have for soccer. Get what I’m sayin’?

 

PARKER

Restraints and Roofies

----------

Parker looks to start another streak of wins in order to put some prestige on the title currently keeping his waist company: The Television Championship. He feels he has the face of a champion while the #1 contender has the face of a registered sex offender… allegedly. But first, he has to worry about Dane Xavier, who he faces later tonight.

 

I dig the video package, which includes one of the few clips of Mad Mike with short hair -- brings back memories… so many angry private messages.

 

MAYHEM

Run Off Back To the Chickensh*t

----------

After the events which transpired at Summercide, Fausto sends an olive branch to Mayhem, who, in turn, snaps the branch in half and uses it to scratch his left nut before sending it back to Fausto with a message of his own. Their truce will be temporary; there WILL be a rematch and sins will be paid for. In other words, Fausto’s actions wrote a check and Mayhem wants to make sure Fausto’s ass finally attempts to cash it in.

 

POE

I Needed OCW

----------

Even though the “Hollywood” angle has been done before, Poe puts an interesting twist on his character as he attempts to reconnect with the audience and bring forth an era of less-ego and more entertainment. With that in mind, Poe asks that his followers call themselves “The Entourage” as opposed to the “POEsers” – although I must admit, POEsers was a damn good fan-base name.

 

Another refreshing twist is how Poe diverts from the ever-growing refrain of “OCW needs me”. In fact, Poe claims that in this particular case it’s the other way around: Poe needs OCW. You mix this new persona with Poe’s unique sense of style and he could possibly POEsess one of the most unique gimmicks in OCW at the moment.

 

Poe ends his speech, not by resigning to the locker room, but by joining his Entourage as he pulls up a seat in the front row. He is… the people’s Poe… and there are allot of Poe people. <

 

SINGLES MATCH

Brandon Hostile

vs

Dylan Jones

----------

Dylan Jones continues to produce new shirts, although this one was a bit harder to read. None the less, I like the white attire and the match was fun to watch. Some people may not like how it ended, but I actually thought it was nice to see a non-finisher finish.

 

Brandon continues to use the war-paint… to be honest, I'm not sure what to think of it. I guess it’s one of those things where, whether he has it or not, doesn’t really affect my view of the character, so meh. I was surprised not to see any mention or appearance of Hazard, but maybe that was a pleasant surprise lol.

 

ARNAUD

What’s In the F*ckin’ Box

----------

Coincidentally, after Poe’s speech, Arnaud comes off as the anti-Poe or perhaps the love-child of Poe and Dylan Jones. Either way, Arnaud also claims to be a man of the people, for the people, but goes a different route in order to win the audiences favor. How is that, you ask? Easy… he tries to buy their love with gifts.

 

It’s a rather short RP, but gets the message across and does it fairly well – a good way to end one hell of a first page.

 

PAGE- 2

 

D.JONES

That Doesn’t Make You a Chef

----------

Dylan Jones is not pleased with the current condition of his money-maker and blames the WAP. Apparently, there’s only room for one actor in OCW and Dylan Jones is looking to rub-out the competition for OCW’s leading man. He challenges Poe to a match, although I snickered at the idea of both of them participating in a casting-call competition.

 

It’s good to see interactions like this. More often than not, I’ll read an RP that garners a response from another OCW character, but due to the lack of communication between members, it just goes unanswered. Just to clarify, I don’t mean that as a put-down to the current roster, it’s just that we typically don’t PM everyone our RP’s before the show, so it’s hard to respond to one another.

 

D-JACK

I Have No Idea What Rat-Hole That Came From

----------

Mr. Jackson is still stealin’ wallets and poppin’ comments. Seriously, say what you want about D-Jack, the man gives me the best material to work with when it comes to making titles for my Mad Rep segments. If you remember, the last gem was “Those Butterflies Turned Into Woodpeckers”. Good stuff.

 

D-Jack is aware of his current position as the #1 Contender and fears that a loss to Poe could cost him the contention for the OCW Television Title. But, as D-Jack so eloquently put, it all comes down to who be the better man… and that can easily be determined within three seconds or with three taps to the mat. It poses the question, "Who betta’ than Jackson?"

 

SINGLES MATCH

Wesley Adams Poe

vs

David Jackson

----------

Watching the two of these unique characters battle-it-out made me wonder: If someone were to visit OCWFED.NET for the first time and this was the first match they saw, they’d either think we were all five years old… or that we are ahead of the curve. I like to think we’re the latter.

 

Poe, I think someone already mentioned it, but I’m digging the skull n’ roses design. I don’t know how you manage to pull-off your look, but you do pull it off, so kudos to you. Unfortunately, style isn’t enough to pick-up the dub in this fairly quick match.

 

XAVIER

Betting Dollars to Dildos

----------

Xavier may have a career in politics if OCW doesn’t work out, as he has a knack for twisting old negatives into current positives… or at least into good RP banter. He is reminded by Jasmine (his “assistant”) about an upcoming commercial shoot that targets the female audience. When Xavier asks why they are going after the female demographic, Jasmine points out that they make up the main percentage of buyers. What are they buying, you ask? It’s big, red and has Dane’s face on it, courtesy of one Chris Mania. Really brings you back, doesn’t it?

THE UNDERGROUND

You Should Have Put A Ring On It

----------

“Whoa, uh-oh… oh, oh oh, whao, uh-oh. If you want it then you should have put a ring on it. If you want it then you should have put a ring”… I just know the words because of the SNL skit… moving along.

 

Big reveal, although not allot of people really commenting on it; I’m assuming because many assumed, much like Trevor McManus, that the Championship Ring was an imaginary object, or perhaps they are still a little confused… or, maybe people just don’t care, in which case, boy is my face red with embarrassment.

 

In-case it’s just one of the first two, I will be posting more about the Underground after I finish watching RIOT… and maybe grabbing a bite to eat. I also got my Netflix in the mail – Breaking Bad: Season 2 – so maybe after watching a few episodes of that. In other words, it may be posted around midnight or something.

 

For those who did comment, I appreciate it and hope to see you signing up. And yes, as I explained to Jay, the main reason I had “The Announcer” come out, was because I wanted to use “Partyman” from the Batman soundtrack. Good catch on Leon’s part.

 

Originally, it seemed like most people thought The Underground would be some kind of storyline involving past superstars or some kind of NXT variation. Trance even went as far as to ask JCS about it, only to be told it was a Tournament, not involving SvR, which he took as a red-herring (false lead). I laughed a little when I read that. Fausto, not surprisingly, was the first to really figure it out.

 

SINGLES MATCH

Dane Xavier

vs

Parker Stevens

----------

Dane put-up a good fight, but in the end, he couldn’t stop the White Mojo from rising and then dropping the ‘bow.

 

TRANCE/GAINES

Heroes Reborn

----------

Although Trance was able to retain his North American Championship and sweep-the-legs right from under the “Hostile Takeover”, that’s not to say the threat is obliterated. Now with a protégé of his own (always two there are, no more, no less… a master and an apprentice) Trance looks to even-the-odds by joining forces with the new OCW Ex-Division Champion, Nathan Gaines.

 

For now, it looks like Nathan is willing to give Trance the slightest benefit of-a-doubt, but like I said before, Trance can be a dick. However, I’m sure Gaines is well aware of this fact.

 

PAGE- 4

 

HOSTILE/XAVIER

I Know What You Are But What Am I

----------

Yet another encounter between Hostile and Xavier: This can’t be coincidence. Brandon tries to give Xavier some advice about making enemies, but I’m betting Xavier knows plenty about making enemies. Although I still fear the notion of these two joining forces – along with Hazard – it looks like this could be turning into something more territorial. We could be seeing a battle of bad attitudes, down the road.

 

SINGLES MATCH

Trevor McManus

vs

Aries

----------

As Fausto mentioned, both men are proven competitors, but I’m sure the thought of Valmont, lurking in the shadows of OCW, weighs heavily on their minds. Speaking of which, it looks like the match will be postponed: After McManus makes his entrance, Valmont enters the picture… so where is Aries?

 

VALMONT/McMANUS

Words Will Never Describe the Hatred

----------

We establish that McManus really, really hates Valmont. I’m talking the kind of hate that Fausto has for Smythe; the kind of hate that… wait… why do I feel like I’ve done this bit before?

 

It looks like Valmont sent Aries on a trip to Dreamsville so that Valmont and McManus could spend some quality time together. Once Valmont manages to get in the ring, they both give-and-take some massive damage, with Valmont getting the upper hand as he beats McManus out of the ring with a steel chair. Enter Aries.

 

I guess Valmont didn’t do as good-a-job as he thought. Aries comes out and attempts to return the favor. Awww, now they’re even. Valmont still has the upper-hand in my book, because Aries actually has something to lose and that something is his Future Investment opportunity. As long as Valmont is alive, he threatens any chance of Aries successfully cashing that bad boy in.

 

THE DARKSIDE

All Black-Gold Everything

----------

A few weeks back, I made mention of D-Evolution’s efforts to become main-stays in OCW. They were rough around the edges, but you could see their desire. Apparently, Smythe noticed as well, scooping up the young talent, in an effort to polish those edges and mold future champions.

 

KD is coming off an impressive series of matches at Summercide, almost defeating our current Television Champion and future Hall-of-Famer, Parker Stevens. Jookie Marley also managed to snag a spot in tonight’s main event, so one could say they’re already on their way to the top. Momentum can be hard to come-by these days, but The Darkside seems to have found a way to keep it going so far.

 

PAGE- 5

 

VALMONT/ARIES

Get Off My Case

----------

Valmont wants that damn Future Investment case… nay, he NEEDS the FI case. He looks for it in Aries’ locker room, racking up a hefty sum of property damage. This was bound to happen as Aries was still in the locker room when Valmont was looking for it. Some people just make piss-poor criminals. The trick is to break into the place, after the owner leaves. Where’s Posion, he’ll tell ya’.

 

MAINT EVENT

Mayhem

vs

Jookie Marley

----------

I don’t even know why I expect to actually see the matches I’ve been promised. More often than not, they are interrupted or hijacked and I can’t say anything about it, because the fine print on the card always reads, “card is subject to change, so if we promise you something and don’t deliver, you can’t do anything about it.”

 

None the less, Smythe’s influence can already be seen as Jookie and KD pull a veteran move on the OCW World Heavyweight champ. It’s not often that you see the Monster brought-down, but I guess he wasn’t aware of the arena's location, which sits on the corner of 5th and Martin Luther King Blvd. If there's anything white devils should know, it’s that you never… eeeeeever, want to find yourself in Martin Luther King Blvd.

 

Great show, guys and Fausto, the commentary was spot-on.

 

<< PREV / NEXT >>

[Wesley Adams Poe]

I Vote for Mad Mike and Fausto to be the official color commentators of OCW if they don't want to compete anymore. That review was practically as a good of a read as the show was In my honest opinion as if he was a real journalist reporting on this event. It's great, I hope this type of content continues so we can keep getting these types of reviews. Great week everyone, can't wait for the card to get to work on next week.

 

Plus I marked for the star wars reference there.

[Mayhem]

 

The comment on the "championship ring... which we can't actually get in the game" made me laugh, because 1) You've been competing for a belt, which you can't actually wear in real life and 2) If you win the tourney, you WILL be given a REAL, physical, custom CHAMPIONSHIP RING -- similar to the image shown in the video.

 

Let me say that again: If you win the tourney, you won't be getting a picture, a logo or stamp of a championship ring, you will actually win a real-life ring... that you can wear or keep on your mantle or whatever you kids do with rings these days.

 

Hence, why, in the first Underground article, I made reference as to how most people don't even know their ring size. Having said that, I suggest that everyone learn said information, if they have interest in The Underground Tourney.
