She's Back!

Awesome stuff. I'll probablly watch it on loop for a hot minute.

too much talent, awesome video emp

Just some amazing stuff. EMP really knows how to kick us off right.

SUE VS ASHLEY I've played James enough to know that you can't know which Jamie you're going to get. He's going to be consistent, but will he have the extra heat? I want to say yes, but Ash probably running on extra motivation and is likely in a better competitive position to win. WREX VS H2O I expect a pretty even match. I haven't fought either one of them recently so I don't have much to speculate with outside of a desire to give Wrex a marginal advantage but Harvey has Quartz as his Hype Man and that's got be enough to sway it. H20 with a grueling victory. FLOJO VS MARISA Marisa just has the confidence and the momentum that I won't pick against here. Jynx vs Scotty X vs Devon Flash My eyes will explode if I watch, probably. Flash is my pick if for no other reason that Jynx and Scotty will focus so much on each other that he steals it in a flash... C-Note vs Telos CNote. This is just his moment.

SUE VS ASHLEY I will be rooting for Sue because I love her. Outside of that biased allegiance, I'm sure this won't end without some kind of overexaggerated self-aggrandizing dialogue about how one of the two did something wrong and our new Pride title will continue it's not-so-rich history of being more famous for controversy than sport. WREX VS H2O Wrex has been the silver medal for a long time as Mr. Turmoil but will once again be reminded that he's not what he thinks he is and can take his fat worthless ass back to Michigan after the GOAT buries him. FLOJO VS MARISA Will be an interesting match leaving us wondering which will take the next step, but will ultimately just be another "great match for the sake of great match" FloJo style that leads to nothing. I got FloJo in this one which will only be less relevant when Action Hero Marisa turns it into something amazing. JYNX VS SCOTTY VS DEVON FLASH No real point to guess this. Match will not happen, server issues or something of the like. Some kind of replacement match will fill in and will... exist. HARRIS & MARTIN VS DNS My instincts tell me this match also won't be happening, but for the sake of it, DNS wins and there will be controversy of some kind to ruin whatever fun the match could've had. TELOS VS CNOTE Viktor didn't die to watch Telos lose in his first defense. Or maybe he did. /shrug

Could slide him into the OCW Title Picture too

Oh hello! I didn’t notice you there, welcome back to the Pepperton Dungeon. I’m Ryu “The Spider” Matsumoto, and if you’re back here today I can only assume you have a better technical grasp of Wrestling. So let us now talk about the art of wrestling, The Promo. First things first, Who Are You? Have a clear idea of who your character is, and what they are about. If you’re just starting out,use the patented Pepperton Dungeon KiSS method. Keep it Simple Stupid! Take whatever you think you have, all that you hope for your character to be and boil it down into a single concept. That concept should define every action or reaction your character makes. For me that has always been “Chaos”. No matter what I have done face, heel, winning, losing, feuding etc Spider’s main driving force is being someone chaotic. It creates a simple thread that can be followed throughout my career. No matter where you pick up that thread you know that Spider is at the center of some kind of chaos. This makes it easier for your audience to drop in and out of storylines. Show, Don’t Tell The complexity of your character should come from your actions. Don’t tell me what your character is about, it will always fall flat. DO! Take that central thread of your character and build out from it with your actions. The reactions of those you feud with, the interactions between your peers, and even the response from your fans will not only inform the audience but also will inform you about the complexity of your character. Do What You Know! Don’t try and do or be something you don’t know. This unfamiliarity will show in your RPs. More importantly, the RP won’t be fun for you to write. For example, I know Japanese Culture, I'm a natural heel, and I know how to be Trash. So my character, Spider is an embodiment of that. If you don’t know how to be a scumbag, don’t try and be a scumbag, if you don’t know what being a super athlete entails don’t try and depict a super athlete. Do what you know and you’ll be able to create an engaging character that won’t be a chore to write for. Think OUTSIDE the Ring Wrestling is more than what happens in the ring or inside the arena. They don’t even have to happen the same day as an event “Previously Recorded…” can be your best friend when laying out an RP. Doing something somewhere a little different can really set you apart from your peers and leads directly into our next point. You Can do ANYTHING E-fedding, is fake fake wrestling. When you realize/accept this you realize there are no limits to what you can do. If you find it hard to get over doing the standard wrestler man promo, do something crazy, challenge the perception of what wrestling is. Not only is Spider a US Governor, he is a partner in a major corporation, an interdimensional time traveler, a mental patient and a myriad of other strange things. Your character potential is literally LIMITLESS due to the nature of OCW, if the wrestler thing isn’t working, take advantage of that. Be Open to Criticism Not everyone is gunna like what you do but that doesn’t mean their criticism is invalid. Glean what you can from every criticism and use it to push forward and improve. Most people who are going to comment about something are doing so because they sincerely want to see you improve. HAVE FUN OCW is supposed to be fun, so HAVE FUN with your character no matter what you do.
