Oh hello I didn't see you there. So I woke up early and I had to get out of bed because for Dark Side of OCW 2009 a requested file cluster was read only access. So now that I'm up coffee in hand and feeling like its 2009 it's time to run down a fairly succinct shoe! La Resistance Part 1 Love this grouping of eclectic minds, could gush for literal hours about everyone except stupid Jynx and Stupid Bolek but there's a whole lot of history with these ppl and they for they most part nailed down all the points needed in less than 5 minutes can't really complain. Power struggle angles are weird (see Tibby Dupree thoughts). I'm just here for the ride but solid foundation for later. Before I forget I scrolled up to type this I am legit sick of "Word A Day" H20 I legit cannot stand his written work but now to see and hear him be so fucking loquacious is quite simply vexatious and I will not and cannot allow this irksome inability to speak with normalcy exasperatingly bothersome, maddening and displeasing. Fuck you michael Kaiya Crowly vs. REBORN THE REAL STIXX @Cheryl Stixx@Alex Asher I really hate pre match text role plays before the opening match and by hate I mean despise. That being said in 2025 we are lucky to get any kind of words because y'all like Dupree also don't know how to read or y'all like John Carter don't count the Web Show possibly because you are a fucking clown so I am OK with it. Really sweet double baby face heart felt promo between the two acknowledging Stixx growth and just all around up beat shit! I can dig it The match itself was 17 mins which in 2k25 times is wild not gonna recall the nuts and bolts but it was very fun to watch and both have very good chemistry with each other. I do vaguely remember Cheryl kind of holding unto fins, just use em! In it to win it. Either way fun match and Cheryl breaks her losing streak! As for Kaiya my only side note is the Temu Skadi shit I saw is not it some of y'all throw stones in class houses with no self awareness, I do belive they have the same build (husky lady #3) But it's not really a 1 for 1, The only kicker for me would honestly be the entrance I wanted to shout JACKPOT but Quartz would never show up :(. Either way at this point id just make kaiya 7ft tall but then it would be thats just OKI Udoka IDK, B! Yall dumb sometimes! Paul Harris with the 2011 riot theme If you need the 2025 Riot logo and song holla I got you fam! Loved this promo as I said in public and in private I really couldn't have given a fuck about Paul Harris for most of his career (it sounds harsh but its more indifference if you nasty). I really love this edge and not because of HEEL but because its not boring to me it's solid work it's not just the "I wrestle good to ok guy" But there is more to it. The Tre , Harris stuff is very solid pro wrassling I dig it immensly. From a production stand point especially given what happend later in the show this could have been about 2 minutes shorter less is always more. The Old Lady, The Rookie And The Le Miserable More whatever the word is for Beatrixx with a new focus on the "Rookie" Serena but oh no here comes Buffalo's most miserable, Shianne! I find it hysterical that Shianne gives me Bubba Ray, Grumpy as fuck vibes. Either way solid pro wrestling backstage shit. Producers note shoulda ended with Serena walking through the frame past Shianne with the "We really got to work on your attidue that was pretty rude" Camera fade woulda popped me fucking HUGE! Skadi Promo with the 2013 riot theme If you need the 2025 Riot logo and song holla I got you fam! Touching on what happend last week with Dragana, putting over champ, nice side bar by Double Wide, Skadi continues and keeps the same energy throughout trying to guide double wide to not be an asshole and it seems to be working. Metal Gear Solid Bobbi! Pretty much breaks down to book me! #IMALIVE! We got you on ambition boo! Super Sakomoto Silent @Satoru Sakamoto I can't complain about a rookie promo there's a lot of production stuff. Like LACK of CROWD, and just showing up in ring but again that comes with time so all I can say is add some crowd and keep doing what you are doing kid its a marathon not a sprint! Gooner vs The Giant! @Devon Flash@Rust Cohle IKE and MONIICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Bog standard pro wrassling much like Cheryl 0-3 could tonight be the night? Guess we will find out. But again if there aren't copious glazing notes just assume you did well. Handler Devon is a good motherfucker so I have grown to accept he will be solid no matter what and this is no exception. SUPER FUN FUCKING MATCH BOYZ. Very competitive a lot of wild spots and swings in momentum. I'm not gonna right a 19 page love letter others can do that I don't even know how to read but one of my fav matches of the night or maybe this season good chemistry! Gnarly fucking finisher. And just like Cheryl, IKE not EEEKAYYY AHAHAH is 1-3 good shit! (this shoulda been an ambition main event) Che GueSheldon & Steve Hat sich nicht zu lange aufgehalten, solides Pro-Wrestling, Sheldons kleine Baskenmütze ist einfach bezaubernd. Ich weiß, die Idee ist, CHE Gueverra darzustellen, was Ende der 90er und Anfang der 2000er angesagt war, aber man sollte bedenken, dass er, obwohl er als Popkultur-Ikone verwendet wurde, eigentlich ein Stück Scheiße war, offensichtlich besser als Castro, aber ich schweife ab! Abgesehen davon passt der Look perfekt zu dem, was gerade passiert, ich finde ihn einfach irgendwie urkomisch und ironisch. Stability Perros! I'm gonna say this A LOT because there really isn't any reason to expound in text sometimes. But this is bog standard pro wrestling for most of it. Parca comes out as the Toyota Corolla, or Camry of OCW! Actually Definitely the Toyota Camry of OCW Corolla's ain't shit. Camry's are for the most part far and away more STABLE and RELIABLE. That being said usual Parca fare comes out pops shit and someone gets beat up! But this time THE TABLES HAVE TURNED and Ry has struck first! Nice lil change of pace. I wouldn't have this issue with this segment if we didn't have the match later with pretty much the same outcome. It would have been really cool that once Harris came in (Since the other one nova was taken out) if Tre Golden ran out (once again like earlier) to get in Harris ass and chase away the heels. But I also get the (It's TRE I want nothing to do with him type shit) Wrestling is simple, having RyVaughn get tuned up prior to then not really sell it in the subsequent match was weird (but I can chalk that up to logistics I suppose IE no Bandage leg) I'll elaborate more when we get to match portion. Ad STIXX! It's an advertisement rehabbing double wide! I liked the older voice that sounded more country FYI Marisa vs The World Feat, Ashley, Deb, Cheryl and Silent Queen Sue and more. With so many people involved it was bound to run long as usual only producer note, less is more! Solidish Sports Entertainment. Silent Sue entering the brooklyn zoo was a neat touch popped. I'm not sure how I feel about Sue potentially skipping to the front of the line. I mean personally I couldn't care less (did I just negate my prev statement I think I did! LOL) but there's a legion of bad mama jammas so we shall see OPTICS wide it could be weird especially with whats been going on with Sarah Moore. The Tammy stuff is interesting but its an NPC more or less so I never was really invested in her at bare minimum she needs to choke slam the shit out of sturdy bird or something this is almost a year or half a year of disrespect. The King not Queen and Kirkland Valkyrie Skadi (I'm KIDDDDDING relax!) @Owen@FknParker Ok gonna break this down because there is a lot of unpack. Initially having seen a "JOBBER" entrance of Alyssa Loretta, Most assumed Elliot was Elliotting in 2025 and as we are want to do shitted on him. However during the usual post show Dinner and wine session Elliot showed up and clarified some things. On Tuesday he sent out his video and entrance apparently to a cloned account of Skadi (2 accounts with same name I guess IDK) Never heard back and assumed everything was hunky dorey only to show up Friday evening and get the Diddy Special from everyone. Now the only reason I am posting it here is because its public knowledge and also to highlight what I can only assume is a breakdown in communication. What I do not understand is if you need Footage/Entrance from someone and you don't hear from them why wouldn't you just go "HEY I NEED YOUR SHIT" or "HEY CAN ONE OF YOU RECORD OR GRAB THIS CAW FOR ME" or Any number of things. To give you an example I'm old as shit and my brain don't work often (still sharper than any of you deluded motherfuckers) That being said on Thursday I forgot to send him my audio for comms (or I sent it to someone else by mistake IDK) either way Friday morning Jake let me know I didn't send it so i sent it! problem solved. So either Skadi never hit up Loretta with the (WHERE IS YOUR SHIT) or Loretta msged Elliot and never heard back or Skadi never asked (Where is your shit) and opted to do the jobber ent and Austin Skadi exit. I don't know whats what but this is a very clear lack of communication, And I can understand totally if its a time crunch but more often then not you take 20 seconds (Hey Boss, there's a mix up with this or that can I get an extension) and you get it. This kind of came off like a hatchet job on Loretta because they won and it played out as such during the live show making loretta look like shit. Speaking of the live show the match had everyone in there feelings thinking loreta fucked on skadi and then got to beat skadi's ass. MATCH ITSELF really emotional because Skadi made a huge comeback but because of all the other bullshit it sullied Lorettas win in the end. IDK just fucking talk to each other its not hard. An other wise really solid match was kind ruined .This was a bad look that could have easily been prevented just spending 5 minutes communicating. MY BOO A SNAKE AND PRICK THE BOOZER Don't talk to Dillinger, EMP he's a fucking snake fuck ADE, and motherfuck that sweaty snake skin, husky shit bag WREX! H20 & Edgy Names! My producers note was this was too long but it was less than 2 minutes. See above about H20 Promos. I don't hate Kraven (I'm not typing KraVen so you can fuck that sky high) I just hate his voice Dorian. Solid work had to go later in shoe fix the voice and fuck h20. CLARK EFFECT GETS OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHED Shit we half way this is turning into actual work on a Saturday fuck me! Gooch is the KD of Writing you aren't going to get Shakespeare or drolling on. TLDR Flojo admits that Beatrixx was right and that she let the shit from the locker room shake her confidence, and will be tuning in next week! Simple and to the fucking point 420p Marcus in 2025 Glad the locks are gone they ain't look right with that water head. Now he looks like TRT RZA. I'm looking forward to Marcus vs THE WRESTLING MAAN thats it. Also its pro wrestling also this coulda been 1 min 30 seconds! Steven does drugs with rookies! D.A.R.E to be better Stevie. This lil feud is fun, will it be on ppv probably not (theres a lot on docket) but I'm enjoying it for having so many ppl involved. WHOSE THE 3RD MAN! JUBEIIIIIIIIIIIIIII SEE BOG STANDARD PRO E-WRESTLING - Quietly promoting next weeks match! Adapt Adjust Overcome its fine Jubei nobody gonna read it cuz they cant reeeead! BEEF AND ACCOUNTABILITY @Tre Golden@Marisa Welch@El Parca Oh DEAR! Where to begin, I didn't catch the discord shit obviously cuz you know streaming and I saw everyone dog pile there favorite submission boxing punching bag Tre. First and foremost there are 3 but really 2 points of Failure. #1 Both participants should record (just in case this doesn't always happen but you know redundancy) #2 The match was something like what 10-12 minutes and NEITHER PERSON not just TRE NEITHER nor RY NOTICED till after the fact. BOTH are at fault and to there credit both have admitted as such. #3 Why the fuck is Parca given the match when he isn't apart of it? I don't care if he said to send to him you say no doesn't matter who if they aren't in the match unless you are missing a limb or some extenutaiting circumstance (YOU are responsible FOR YOUR STUFF PERIOD) If you it's agreed upon Between the parties in this case (Tre/RyVaughn) that TRE is putting the match together. Then anything that had to do with the match between (TRE/RY) goes to TRE thats it the afterbirth gets sent to TRE to EDIT into the end of the match PERIOD unless his hands fucking fall off. I really do not fucking like 3rd parties being involved in matches they are not apart of unless absolutely necessary. Because the simplest solution would have just been to air the match next week and then potentially jerryrig another ass whipping This week I suppose. But that couldn't happen (Or technically it could but its like why when entrances and post are using RIOT). And what really annoyed is is Tre catching it from all angles as if he is the only person 2 blame. And then Hurricane Season kicks in and Tre does himself no favors. It took that motherfucker 7 business days to book Turmoil so I get it but having all you motherfuckers punch down is lame and cuz he is not 100% to blame. On top of that @Sheldon TremblaySheldon, lass das das letzte Mal sein, dass du jemandem sagst, er solle aufhören oder gehen. Du warst die letzten 4 Monate eine Bratwurst! Was zum Teufel glaubst du eigentlich, wer du bist? KOMMT SCHON, SOHN! Du hast nicht das Recht, jemanden zu tyrannisieren und ihm zu sagen, er solle aufhören, du hast nicht das Zeug dazu. Ich bin froh, dass du dich nicht mehr wie ein Baby benimmst, und ich sehe das und kann das absolut schätzen, aber tu so etwas nie wieder einem anderen Community-Mitglied an, zumindest nicht in den nächsten 2-3 Jahren. Ich muss mir erst mal deine Glaubwürdigkeit wieder aufbauen, Junge! ❤️ Now that all that bullshit is out of the way! The match itself I enjoyed for what I watched (went to heat up some BACCALAITOS baby! Very hard hitting match and I thought hurricane tre had it locked in but Ry came back in the end and got the W. Woulda probably been a contender for MOTN had it not been the fucking arena bullshit. Now as for the end I called it afterbirth earlier but that's kind of harsh. I didn't mind the ending But the same person did the post match scene and the Precurser segment so its just wierd. RyVaughn got fucked up again and now Tre got fucked up from harris. I think if the previous segment was the heels running away instead of pulling out RyVaughns Knee the segment would have sat better with me. Because logically I'd book Tre/Ry vs Harris Parca, but we already know the (I DONT WANT TO DO A TAG WITH TRE) bullshit potentially so who knows It will more then likely be booked so fucking cry about it. OVERALL I didn't hate the segment it was really good just the previous segment on top of this whole other arena bullshit pissed me off. Ya'll are better than this! ❤️ AKITA and THE BEST GAL AROUND I like the Jiirota Saga but maybe im just vibing with my favorite student Junki! EMP nails her char She's SO MEAN! And Maybe pain in the neck akita gets that rematch for junko vs deb! WHO KNOWS! (I DONT) Bad Aspect Ratio'd msgs SO LIKE I said this a thousand times but maybe yall missed it or maybe I wasn't clear so ill say it again. This is not a current day issue so much as something thats happend on and off in OCW for the longest time. I'll give you the standard example from old country! Back in the day despite copious words most era some people wouldnt do shit, but as soon as they won a match or title you would a RP which would basically conclude (OH THEY WON THE MATCH). In JynX Case he always does content so the first part of my example doesn't apply to JynX directly. Initially I saw this as (Put Right Before My Match) I didn't watch and when the outcome happend I saw RED. These types of promos are I don't know the word so I will try to expound! If you're in a low stakes TV match (see C NOTE coming up) then its fine. If you are in a high profile match or title match these are annoying UNLESS YOU LOSE (see c-note) because you subvert expectations. Promo itself other then aspect ratio was fine but I felt I had to get that off my chest. Condition your Audience to expect the unexpected. Best example The KD Quartz Package, went into that with OH SHIT KD WON OH SHIT! NOPE Expectations subverted master stroke. Marisa TEXting I've said it more than once Marisa rarely writes but when they Do I lock in its always good shit. I'll be honest I wish Marisa wrote more some of the videos are better (and less taxing) as Text. Just a follow up from earlier shennagins. Simple to the point, Dug it! The 3 Amigos Lulu, BENJAMIN, and 12 @Maxx Edwards@C-Note@Joe Deaver Prematch promo THIS IS HOW YOU #1 THIS IS HOW YOU SUBVERT EXPECTATIONS! Promo was quick to the point ans GAS! #2 Even if Note won its LOW STAKES MATCH so who cares if promo said he was gonna win! Match itself super fucking fun, everybody looked great everybody got they shit in. Some wicked spots I cant remember and the accidental 2 on 1 assault patterns. Finish was fucking chefs kiss as well bang up job! Backstage Assault patterns Well given we was told there wasnt a clear caw or whatever I guess this is one way to write em off i guess. Le Resistance Part Deux Like the women's segment I wish this was shorter but there's so many people involved! Again id said maximize your minutes. Also Alistar Sauce popped me more than I thought it would holyshit. I don't know if EMP's lines where voiced than AI but they had more Life to them other than JANX! The LOSER Shit took me out so so petty so so factually accurate and so so hilairous. WARGAMES! I've had my reservations but ive been told continously that it WON'T be a ball ache so OK. This is looking to be a fucking Super star affairs, KILLERs vs. KILLERs ok Baker is more of a chew toy but fuck off MOSTLY KILLERS + Baker there you happy you bitches! Quartz with the (you fell right into my trap) like EMP hasn't won WarGames was certainly a choice. Also fuck h20. KILLER KAM REHAB @Drago Cesar@Rust Cohle ❤️ SHE'S LEARNING Fun lil fued im enjoying, its very KUNG FU, sure its happend often but its no different then a majority of the running angles here. And if you don't agree I ask you who in the hell teaches you kung fu? Your master must be an idiot as well! Wrestling Man & The Snitch @Devon Flash @John CarterI told devon the day before I like the improvement in RP with the text but then the john part came out and I was like (EHHH) Production shit aside. I am very much looking forward to this match. Both of these guys are fucking STUDS, or KILLERS as I say. This is more so a huge test for Devon cuz John is no fucking pushover. So amped, I'm a lil pissed Dev aint DEV BUSTA this man after he got perl harbored by john last week but its minor. Main Event - @Nate Ortiz @JynX Kidding aside since 2005 Nate has always been a class act always fighting anyone put before him title or not. JynX is a bad muthafucka period exciting match and a worthy succesor to what Nate has done for almost 300 days with the International Championship. Now the world champs can breath a sigh of relief! I give JynX a lot of shit but he's one of the people like Stupid Benjamin, Devon, Bash, Bolek ET AL who are the future of this place. Also fuck JynX If you are still reading thanks for reading my words. And know while they may come off as harsh, they are meant to be but it's also not that serious we all fuck up just do better next week no biggie and always remember OCW works best when it’s a melting pot of different ideas and opinions coming together to create some cool ass shit. It’s at its worst when people are only invested in their own/their pals’ content." See You Next Week Fantastic job! Even when we lack entrances or use wrong arenas our match quality is till leaps and bounds better than the norm! So shout out to y'all! (I will probably just desk my thought next time or cherry pick shit this took way too fucking long from my off day YOU ARE WELCOME!

X meets X: So… I’m happy to see Scotty is doing video content and doing something self contained that is only reliant upon him continuing it. The video itself was decent and got the point across however there were a few things I wasn’t overly in love with. 1) Originally I wasn’t in love with the crowd at the Combat Center but I’m almost certain consoles can’t do empty arenas so I won’t harp at all on it. 2) We have seen the whole conscious vs subconscious and all sorts of different aspects. Parker did it, Quartz does / did it, I’ve done it and so have others. While I understand nothing is “unique” or “original” I do think there may have been a few different ways for Scotty to approach THIS specific type of way. 3) Continuing on point 2, maybe Scotty has a dream / nightmare and THAT is how he meets his subconscious or the voice in his head. Maybe he is in a therapy session and times freezes and THEN he meets it. Overall a very sound video and building progress to something that we can all see and know. It’s nice seeing Scotty and I can only hope & want that he keeps it up and continues to push himself. Quartz & Baker Promo: Quartz has had some suspect as lackeys and hype men in his time here but my god Baker is the fucking worst. The dude is the OCW equivalent of Logan Paul, I don’t wanna see you, hear you, anything please get off my screen and fuck off from my ears. Thankfully my ears only bled for a little before the big FRAWG- I mean Crimson Sentinel came out before Steven Jackson took a note from Petie last week. The layers and levels of storytelling that Quartz does is some of the absolute best in all of OCW. While I as a fan want to see him win FI because that would be his version of when Kass won it there’s so many variables that we can only hope. Steven cuts a great promo and just feels so comfortable on the mic which we then get that beautiful challenge of a street fight between the two. Beautiful camera work, lovely all around really. Not a huge fan of the Universe promo clips but I rather new stuff be used and experimented with cause it can be reused and made even better with repetition. Sadly need Quartz to murder Steven to keep his righteous warpath going strong. Damian & Mistico Promo: Words, disgusting. Short, to the point, I am not a fan of dialogue with quotation marks it looks weird and takes me out of it, idk I’m weird fuck you. The nicknames used also were cringe and I hate as well but hey, do you. Both dudes basically putting the tag division on notice which is nice, Jackmo is 100% NOT Big Country as there is only ONE Big Country and he ain’t here. Maybe Damian and Mistico will get some momentum and then we can see them become more prominent in the tag division standings. Scotty vs. Ike This match was just… not it. There was so much awkwardness, then there was 2 specific moments that totally took me out. 1) Scotty had Ike rolled up in a crucifix, Ike was not going to kickout and Scotty let him out.. why? 2) The bigger of the issues was the FPR break of not only having 2 paybacks equipped but then using them lmao. Cmon man this isn’t rocket science follow the rules. I like Ike’s name but that’s about it… look, entrance, no special trons, all of it’s gotta change. The moveset (that we got to see) was okay, but just how the match went down was really awkward and didn’t really yearning for more. Dragana & Beatrixx before the match: Beautifully done segment. That zoom out showing the younger Beatrixx in one of her earlier promotions, the cutscene being used for specific stills, Dragana using positive magic and dipping out. All so so very good. Beatrixx has been one of my favorite women’s characters since she debuted, it was all closed off so nice by have Flojo just stalking in the background, excellent work. Amart Promo: Beautiful, to the point, and didn’t miss any note. THIS Amart is the Amart I wanna see and see often. This is the Amart I could see becoming a more prominent roster member, would’ve been extra dope if this was a video but I’ll take what I can get out of him. Junko & Akita Promo: I’m convinced Junko just wants to be a menace.. shame she can’t always carry that energy in the ring hehehe. However the interruption in the middle of the video made me scream “WHATS THE CODE” but anyways, Akita having his lips moving and his position was a nice touch. Junko had a really nice shirt and I’m just certain she has a fetish of getting fines. Marisa Still Yo Champ: Short, to the point. She’s still our champ and she’s gonna take down anyone who opposes her. Love seeing Marisa in the spotlight and in the position she’s in now. Mistico vs. Satoru: Pretty standard rookie vs someone in OCW who has more of a grasp on the sticks. Not a fan of Misticos theme or attire, Satoru looks leaps and bounds better from what we saw on 24. Only real moment where I was like meh is when Satoru was about to be stunned and Mistico punched him to get the stun then hit his fin. You had a fin + an sig just go for it lol you don’t gotta stun em. Also it’s the big year of 2025 why the fuck are we seeing any part of the loading screen for the match? Devons FI Promo: This is exactly what I’m wanting out of ANYONE who is in FI / wanting to up their position in OCW. Devon has shown he gets it, he had a beautiful rise with the tag division and as tag champ but now that he’s solo? This is the Devon Flash I’ve been waiting to see. Absolute FIRE promo, so many bars and so much harsh truth dropped in it as well however… you gotta use FI at Cide if you win bud. The video itself was pretty standard, def left a lot to want. This could’ve benefitted by having some added images, maybe some clips of things you were mentioning, I’d also always advocate for subtitles. I know doing subtitles can be a ballache but depending on where the viewer is watching especially during the livestream they can be so beneficial. Excellent stuff though and I can’t wait to see Devon’s progress. John & Jackmo backstage: This is going to probably come off harsh but I have no other way atm to really articulate it but.. this was a very disappointing promo. John should be such a bigger character, entity, and overall person in OCW. To see him revert back to the tag division and talking about winning the tag titles again is very disappointing. You main evented anniversary, you were a cunt hair away from becoming OCW world champion, you had a good feud with Sheldon. You’re IN THE FUTURE INVESTMENT! Why are you talking about tag stuff? Excellent line by Jackmo mentioning eventually he’s going to have to choose. Because regardless of discord antics, or whatever other shit the handler will try to say / do, he is gonna have to choose. There isn’t any double champs and I just wish John would see the potential he has that so many others do already. Hurts man, hope UE can pull off the win later during their match. Underground Elite confronts Cold Front: Loved this segment. Beautiful showing from both the champions and the challengers. A perfect example of how you can do a friendly rivalry about respect while also adding it some spice and grit into it. Video was well done on how it was made, wouldn’t recommend anything because I feel this was a beautiful weekly segment that progressed these guys story. Underground Elite has grown on me heavily as champions, seeing them eventually fight Cold Front will be an awesome match for the tag division. Hoping the champs can pick up a huge win later tonight. Flojo got issues: Pretty simple and to the point. Flojo don’t like Beatrixx and doesn’t appreciate her getting a title match with Dragana… and she also watches some really weird shit. Collateral Damage: Ngl this kinda gave me Dragana video vibes if it wasn’t Dragana making the video. Christine giving off this like overly positive vibe was hilarious especially with what she was saying. Did Junko try to throw the chair then Kameyo intercepted it? Or was it meant to look like a handoff? Just a little odd thing but the fucking music with the chair traveling through the air eventually hitting her grandma had me cackle. Junko just dipping out was also hilarious. Tre Golden vs Joe Deaver: Y’know I gotta give props to booking for actually booking this. On the secondhand I would’ve loved to see Amart get a second shot as well but oh well. With all of the hoopla surrounding the gauntlet I didn’t care about this match because I am just checked out with boy guys. Both are smart, they know how to succeed in OCW and I’m just not gonna carry on too much about it. Joe getting the win was a pleasant surprise because the ties he’ll have with Quartz + B17 are something that MAYBE he can use to help catapult himself even if he doesn’t win the FI. Ashley Promo: Love to see video content by those who don’t normally do it as frequent. First Ashley was losing me with the promo as I thought it was just gonna be anti wrestling 101 where she’d bury everyone but she turned it around and was just such a good asshole. I think the FI for the women will be really wild when it finally happens but I’m glad to see more content of participants building the match and the stakes… more please! Pilgrim & Omen: Pretty interesting promo / segment from mainly Pilgrim. The fallout of DNS 1.0? 1.5? Has been in a lack of words a bit disappointing. I’d have liked things to pan out in other ways and more exciting ways but alas, be how it be. However… big man Omen? I want to see more of him. I’d like to see him start stepping out on his own feet completely without DNS / BASH. He showed in his time of running Temple of Omen he can be a leader and not a follower. Maybe the flame will be relit once he realizes BASH has more important toys than him in the future. But the big guy is coming back which means trouble. The Davis Siblings: Mad Dawgs slow and methodical climb to being a baby face is gonna hit like the atom bomb hit Hiroshima when it’s finally time. I’ve been wanting Dawg to be a babyface for quite some time and we’ve seen time and time again the handler CAN be a proper baby face character with Petie, but now that Dawg is starting to slowly change over and be a good guy? This is the shit I’ve been waiting on man IS STILL REAL TO ME! Something I would recommend though is if you’re using AI voices, try and do voice to voice so that way it’s way less robotic compared to text to voice. Good standard video though and we love to see the progress. Marisa & Cheryl go crazy: It’s like mean girl #1 vs mean girl #2 I fucking love it! These two are the epitome of high school cafeteria shouting matches between the two popular girls. Always a massive fan of Marisa / her content and Cheryl has been terrific ever since she’s returned to OCW. This feud gives me hints of somehow someway if they have a match with each other afterward they’ll become friends and just be the bestest besties ever. Same thing like I said earlier though, would strongly recommend adding subtitles. Sarah Moore backstage: More FI building promos / segments! Hell yeah. Pretty to the point and didn’t overstay it’s welcome. I would just make sure to double check promos before submitting them since you can see a few Morrison method issues with the promo but oh well. Triple Threat Match: Pretty standard but also kinda awkward triple threat. There was a bit too much outside fighting especially near the end of the match where it felt like we were just avoiding getting in the ring cause we didn’t wanna get pinned. Finish was also pretty outta nowhere, wouldn’t have expected Claudio to pick the win up like that. Something that I need to see end forever is hitting the circle breaker on the outside of the ring. Whether you’re getting thrown in the ring, barricade, corner post, or announce table just let it happen. Seeing so many Irish whip reversals look so awful to me personally but be what it be. Marcus & BASH Backstage: Seeing Marcus back is such a wild thing. Dude was at the literal top of the world and had to be relegated to tag division due to how the fed was at the time. I don’t know if he’ll be able to get that sort of lightning in the bottle again but I still wanna see Marcus with championship gold and as a top threat. Targeting BASH though is an interesting choice, the resident cockroach doesn’t go away no matter how bad the beating or by who it is. So this 6 man tag next week probably will be chaotic so can’t wait for that. Collection Day: Very cinematic type segment. Really loved B17 calling out Nate, it is without a shadow of a doubt B17 is single-handedly the greatest and best CCW Champion of all OCW. Ever. The man has a target on his back from so many different angles that the nostalgia run turned into the most historic CCW title reign ever. The parts where his old self? Came on screen and then all the madness with Junko / Blaine / Dragana / Clickbait was just that, madness. Some cool cutscenes used so that probably made the work behind it a lot less of a hassle and it was neat to see. Will be interesting to see where exactly this leads for B17 in the future. Paul Harris in the back: This seems like we’re inevitably gonna get some sort of confrontation between Amart and Paul which is gonna break my heart. Forever will miss and love the Pivot. Underground Elite vs Executive Order: Man… fucking yikes. That is probably the worst type of match the champions could’ve had and I feel very bad for them. Honestly this is a match I’d have never even wanted in the first place. Now this muddies the water even more, EO is 2-0 over UE, John is in FI, but has TWO wins one before they were champs now one after they are champs. And this win was just a straight up ass beating. I don’t really get the Samsin / Damian run in, if it would’ve maybe devolved had the match get sullied and maybe save some UE face it could’ve been a bit better. But just plopping it there was just like not necessary. Just man I feel bad for UE, losses like those feel sickening. Hope they can keep their heads up and don’t lose track of the main mission. Cheryl’s Backstage Rant: Cheryl is so unhinged it’s fucking incredible. She got slapped so hard her pussy clenched I might’ve almost pissed my pants. These two constantly going at each other is nothing but gold time and time again. Like seriously that was so hilariously fucking great. God I love you Cheryl. C-Note is upset: C-Note has his sight on Mad Dawg and it ain’t gonna be pretty. Love C-Note, dudes one of the people who can fit anywhere you put him. Really wanting to see him have a breakout season and remind everyone who he is. Clark Effect w/ Ricky: Hell yeah! Love seeing rookies out here doing vid content. Didn’t use the entrance which is good I’d just try to make your cuts smoother. The promo / interview itself was pretty standard normal rookie talk. I’m excited to see where Ricky goes through his rookie season if he’s able to take a loss with Grace like how he has then he’ll be good in no time. Don’t just abruptly end your video though, fade to black for 1-2 seconds and end an ender so it’s more organic not like the sopranos. Skadi backstage: MORE FUTURE INVESTMENT BUILD UP FUCK YEAH! Skadi doing her thang and talking that talk! The womens FI continues to heat up I love it! Rust makes a statement: Rust coming back and making a statement and a powerful one at that. This is very much a challenger JynX wants. His North American championship reign for lack of better words hasn’t been very great. He’s held it for awhile but the defenses + names haven’t really been what I’m sure he’s wanted / it’s deserved. However when big game comes around it’s time for that pivotal step up. We all know Rust has made those step ups all the time and this will surely be JynX’s biggest challenge yet. So I look forward to how this fully plays out. Wasn’t overly in love with the robotic voice JynX was using though. Cheryl & Kira backstage: Cheryl is all over the place and that is just awesome. Seeing certain figures who were anchor beings for the women’s division who now maybe aren’t around, as active and are not being replaced but there’s others who are now stepping up and taking that spot. That woman is Cheryl. Her written promos are just as good as her voice promos so she’s got it all around. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with her and Kira so that’s nice to see Kira getting involved in the mix more as well. Main Event: That hype package was so awesome and just showed how you don’t need one million videos of history and lore and all sorts of things to be able to make a kickass hype package. Made you hyped for the match which is exactly what you want. Match itself was not what I was expecting, was definitely expecting more back and forth but Dragana was just on top of Beatrixx from the moment that bell rang. I’m also glad it didn’t have a decisive finish (fuck you Flojo) because it just means we hopefully get Beatrixx and Dragana again at a later point. Overall the match itself was entertaining and the ending was phenomenal on how it was recorded. Really excited to see what comes of this and what the implications of it all will be. Real good time for the womens division. Overall pretty decent show, I’d absolutely say the segments carried it a lot more than the matches themselves. Main Event and the Triple Threat were easily my top two matches of the night. I still absolutely can’t stand seeing the dodge when someone reverses early or late but good game is good. Something I noticed through a handful of the videos is people really gotta start covering up the camera controls. You wouldn’t want a breakout hud or any other non OCW hud to be shown so do it for the camera controls. Jake has a post how to get rid of it or you can just slap a logo over it for the 2-3 seconds it is there. Anyways, that’s my mega review I’m gonna disappear for awhile again.

@Sheldon Tremblay@BASH Good shit @Gabriel Vincent great turning chicken shit into chicken salad! @Eddie RamosLOVE THE VOICE!!!! So many great lines!

Resistance Promo -The opening promo with the Resistance was fucking great man. Its the past, present, and future of OCW ready to stand against the tiny terror running the show. Team ups like this really boost Bolek and Jynx's standing and to me thats what its all about, building dem new stars. Kaiya and Cheryl Talk -The werdz with Kaiya and Cheryl was very sweet. I dig Kaiya and the tarot reading. Kaiya being a pleasant woman despite the broody look is a cool contrast Paul Harris verbally spanks Tre -If I had a nickel for every Paul that cooked Tre on the mic, I'd have 10 cents. I wouldn't stay in the ring too long to get Tre's response either knowing he aint gon be looking talk to the young star on the rise runnin them lips. Good cooking PH. He dodging the generic guy allegations and settling in to this arrogant prick persona. Cherly Stixx vs Kaiya Crowley -The Real Miss Stixx getting a win after finding her new why was dope to see. I enjoyed it and didnt notice it went on long but ending fell a little flat with the running face buster, but tht makes sense when its closing time. the match was solid on both sides overall. Cheryl's postmatch promo probably solidifies she is going to tone it down with the being that loudmouth shitstarter I quickly got accustomed to, but I can't wait to see where Cheryl goes with this uplifting version of herself who's doing it for the girlies.(HUH!) Beatrixx x La Diosa x Lovelace -That guard had me fucking dyin. We getting Beatrixx and Big Punch inna match next week and im pscyhed for it. "You can call me mother or call me nothing at all" was a fire ass line from the Spooky Mami. Serena go ahead and tell someone about that weird ass guard lmfao Skadi talks -Skadi is a really good promo and I rock with her character trying to teach others how to a better person for themselves. Dont know if she wanna try that with big Sarah but we gon see. Bobbi wanna wrestle -Bobbi looked rough, I blame the bodysuit but I'm excited to see shawty get back to bumping in this booming women's division we got. Sakamoto talks - Love to see newer people trying to get themselves seen and expanding on their character. I would say try going the extra mile on your work. If you wanna succeed here the best way to do that is show love to your work. Add an entrance, add sound, get us immersed. We are watching a show. Don't be afraid to ask for help and tips, I've been there. When you show you are committed some people will even reach out to give you a platform. WE WANT YOU TO SUCCEED. Shelly's got a third -That beret is fuckin fire on Shelly. Our prodigal crashout gonna have to handle his Steven problem but it seems he aint too worried bout it seeing as he got just the person in mind to even the odds for him. The Pillar of Stability, El Primero -Our Primero truly is a shining pillar of stability. Even when it seems like his back is against the wall he ALWAYS has a plan. Ry clearly wants to get his hands on the world champ and im all for it he just has to get through whatever the ADE throws at him like Pretty Boy Paul jumpin from behind. I like that the OCW World Championship has been having some younger faces chasing after it. The new boys are coming to shift shit. Stixx x Sarah -a fun video, technology is scary man lmfao Marissa and her opps -Marisa's reign as champion as been hella fun for me. She and her lil posse she got real heat on them now with Big Deb, Sue(Fire ass shirt), and Ashley all trying to get their hands on Marisa and tht championship. Marisa better pray these women dont put their pride aside and realize teaming up might be the move rather than fighting to get screwed over. Tammy didn't want NO SMOKE LMFAO. Skadi vs Loretta -Skadi you broke my heart then you made me laugh. The match was coo. Loretta shouldve went for the pin imo but she got the dub. Skadi wasnt selling that shit lmaooo ADE x EMP x Wrex -Lady Sensation concocting plans which aint good for the Resistance, I love how professional these promos make OCW feel. kraVen lore dumps -Cool little lore dive into the brother. Idk how to feel about Jynx guvment be tossed around. It takes away from the mystique for me loll Flojo's Epiphany -Flojo had an epiphany and drop some Yu Yu Hakusho reference, and an offer seems to be coming Beatrixx's way who selling who soul to who? cool building for next show McMichaels speaks -Devon's illegitmate older brother Marcus McMichaels come out spitting before his match wit his former stablemate John Carter. He promises no distractions for the two stars trying to reach the top when they meet next week. Quick nice words to hype next week up. Steven smoking Obama Runtz -NEEGRO! We got a smoke sesh with Steve and the young bucks. Rayzah and Hawke getting involved in Steven's fight against Shelly is a good development for them both hopefully they can handle this mystery man the leader of the Crashouts got pullin up to even the odds Jubei's a wrestle gooner -Jubei a wrestling geek and I'm wit it. It's gotta be hard living in ya older sibiling shadow. I wouldnt know cuz I'm a older brother so haha nerd. Hopefully his lucha research helps him against Mistico who really aint a slouch. LIVE ON TURMOIL BABY -We interrupt this episode of Riot with an episode of Turmoil. Fr tho Happy Ry won for the momentum towards his push to Primero. ADE come out and take out da opps one more time physically. Cohesion. Dennis D and Archer hitting their money dances. Akita for Dad of the Year -EMP is savage. She got old men begging for their children's futures. Junko just might get Big D we shall see Jynx gon bring it on home -Jynx with a promo being all creepy and foreboding. Brotha damn near a complete package Marisa stressing in them werdz -Marisa opps got her venting. Tammy B might be cashing in on unemployment checks in the near future. Her man in rehab. Her side dude not sending no more checks(Unconfirmed). It has not been a good friday. We love seeing our women's world champ on the show though! Maxx get a taste of his own medicine -Maxx wants wat was his. C-Note aint tryna hear that ish right now. Always slick with the words he takes a jab a Maxx and dips. I fucks with it Luis B vs Joe Deaver vs C-Note -I said Luis B was an upper card talent and he showed why I believe so. A fun match where one wrong button quickly changes the outcome. I laughed when Maxx pulled up on stage like "What happened G?" Lmaooo C-Note finna get disrespectful Ashely layeth the Riot -Deuces Rachel The Resistance wants War -WAR! WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? THE FUTURE OF OCW. I just gotta say man this pint sized terror has been the big bad for some great ass matches in the time i been and has come out on top of them pretty much every time. She got her hands full with with wargames shit but I find it hard to doubt her especially if she got Wrex, BASH and her darling legend of a son in her corner. Cant wait for wargames between some experienced people who know how to do great shit. Dragana-sensei learns Kameyo a lessson -Hada shoulda did Christine shit in for the funsies but it looks like Quiet Mami snaking in with them lessons. A Pride Champion representing the values. What a goat. Jynx vs Nate Ortiz(c) for the International Championship -You know Jynx is great because his only losses are those where he was the strong favorite. He gets the one of the best dudes on the sticks here shows him he can go all the way. I knew Quartz wasnt going to let Nate get away with hoing him at Summercide and now its only one champion in the family again. Someone hand Jae a black and mild. Overall solid ass fucking match yall frfr

20 fucking years is crazy. Just wanted to give a shoutout to the Bossman, Jaysin Sensation on sustaining 20 years of this beautiful place that will always hold a large place in my heart. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the podcast recap of the years gone by. Show's that we've all seen some shit over the last 20 years when it comes to OCW, but with the dedication and hard work of all involved, OCW has stood the test of time. I always thought OCW would sustain a long run because the community was always solid even with a few heels. But to see OCW get even stronger with the high level production of today and knowing folks on a first name basis still has me in awe. I am eternally grateful for my very short time in XWA, but I couldn't be happier that Sensation came along and found the Goat, Nate Ortiz and a solid player in myself. OCW is home and I sincerely pray that it will be around another 20 years even if Sensation passes it down to someone. This corner of the internet deserves to live forever with the fans of wrestling, storytelling, and competition that's wrapped into one through this place. Quick sidebar on the mutiny. Most of your what you said was correct, however, it was actually Nate that told you about the mutiny in the AIM chat. I had invited Nate to the AIM chat as a "Ayo, come look at this shit" moment. And he had the quick thinking to bring you in as I was just dumbfounded and enjoying the show. Especially when you popped in and all of the plotters went on quiet time. I'm sad I don't have the chat log anymore, but that Mr. Quinn was definitely selling them cats hope. And on the GCW super hacker moment, I was just doing my job to try and recruit and keep the peace as you once did for me in XWA. That little moment in time will never not be funny though. Was nice to reminisce and hear names I haven't heard in ages... Kael, BosAir, Vega, Hoppus (The man responsible for getting Strider a last name) And even Yohansen and Danny Williams, etc. Danny Williams always gave me Dan Severn vibes. I don't know why, but that's how he came off to me. Big shoutout to the anchors old and new who also helped this place stay afloat and thrive. Nate, Leon, Betterness, Trance, Hayes, Pugh, Jake and those who I've missed that I do know and the new folks that I don't. I appreciate all of you for real. Keep going. Keep making this place great even in spite of these fraudulent games y'all make work! And to Sensation once again, thank you for everything and congratulations on this huge milestone. You're hands down the Mr. McMahon of the online wrestling space and I'll die on that hill with whoever want that smoke. This was just another small love letter I felt compelled to make because of how important OCW is. I look forward to seeing the PPV that will be held this weekend. Good luck to everyone and make some more history! Rodney

Probably the first show where throughout the FPR breaks, small production blurps, and other small things this was a REALLY good show. This really had an Ultra Riot, Go Home Show type vibe to the entire thing all night. All the matches really played hard and well even with the small hiccups whether it's FPR, selective ethics whether good or bad is up to you. The segments as well really just had a nice vibe to them all, so I'll go on a random little thing because why not. EMP Opening Segment: The run that EMP is currently on is something that is just about rivaled in terms with what Deborah has done. Both of these women are totally unstoppable, no matter who steps in front of them they both continuously come out victorious. Some might say the The Irresistible Force meets the Immovable Object, and that's what is making this feud + segment all the more interesting. Obviously Deborah as of late is trying to rectify her past sins and just overall be a better person while EMP is not about that life and is gonna keep reminding everyone that this is her company and she gets what she wants. The segment was real well done in terms of production and what it relayed for the story, people should take note on the aesthetics selling from Deborah and how both Deborah + EMP sold each others stuff and it wasn't just ah I'll beat your ass and BOW I'm back up. When you make your opponents/feud partners look like threats it just makes it all the more worthwhile since no one wants to see total domination from any side, the build for this is only gonna get more intense and I'm all for it. mab vs. Zoe Cohle: Really fucking insane opening match, you can tell both of these women wanted the win no matter what which really gave us an intense match for about 90% of the match until a few hiccups happened near the end. While normally I'm understanding of people not wanting to win off of subs because of how the look, especially if the character doing so isn't a total sub artist, I would've rather seen the match end there than the really forced/awkward ending sequences we got. You can tell both handlers are comfortable with one another which really adds into the match but when you're breaking up subs, doing a rollup that is an FPR break, and just forcing the match to keep going because you didn't pay attention to your fin meter/special bars is small things that just take me out. Jay mentioned in VC how OCW isn't a full on comp fed in the sense where you always gotta rush to the finish which I totally agree with, when you tow the line of trying to win but also put on a good match/performance it gets a bit mucky, I don't really put too much negative on it for what the two were trying to do I just would've rather seen one or the other at a certain point bite the bullet and just eat the fin & call it a day since the match didn't hurt anybody's momentum after a certain point. I know that may be a bit "controversial" of a take but eh, oh well. There's nothing wrong with cutting out some of the filler and just getting the moment you want so you can have that crisp ending instead of taking a few extra steps to eventually getting there. Had those little blips not occurred this easily would've been my MOTN. Jordan Trance Gets Hit: Lil Trance has shown that losses really won't define him after such a huge win at Lution against John, I'm content seeing him and Tre getting mixed up with one another because this is a good stepping stone feud for both guys. This let's Tre get back into the mix with a credible opponent while not immediately torpedoing himself into the Main Event / Title Scene (even though I highly doubt that would happen respectfully), Jordan has the opportunity to help create a baby face with Tre and then squeeze that once the two inevitably clash. I like the start of this, especially the comedic value of Trance getting fucking socked and just not getting up for the rest of the night. Simple, easily digestible, content like this is all you can ask for when it comes to a feud so I'm keen on seeing where they go. Marisa x Nate Divorce: Seeing Nate back into the prime of OCW is a really nice thing that I've personally been missing. While I'm sure some might not agree with this, I'd really like for this whole Marisa x Nate x Mad Dawg thing to fully end, I want Marisa focusing on herself again and not being intertangled within the Nate x Mad Dawg x DNS saga. Marisa for the last few months has played an extremely key support piece for the mixed tag match + the Nate/MD stuff as well but it's time for her to be the centerpiece again. I'm not saying she can't have these interactions still but I want her primarily focus / energy to now be applied to her progression and not being stuck as this support role, you're a main character, be that bitch and start your conquest to the Women's World Title again. the Marisaverse is obviously always entertaining with the fits, skanky attitude, and all the other fun elements so this made for a fun watch, I'm ready for all parties to now move on to bigger and better things for themselves. Claudio Stardom vs. Joe Deaver: Catering's favorite client found himself working tonight which while I can't stand that attire / colorway it was nice to see Joe back in action and actually on the screen. While OCW's #1 Gaslighter has been sitting in the trenches and sulking in catering, Claudio Stardom has found his edge again battering rookies and anyone who really gets in his way. Claudio becoming this angry, resentful vet is an approach I initially wasn't anticipating but I think it fits his current attitude just right. The man at one point had the entire world in his hand and he essentially has gotten fucked time and time again whether it's by his own mistakes or outside factors, so seeing him become more and more angry is a story while simple to tell is intriguing to unfold when the weeks go by because you never know where it's gonna go next. Claudio obviously has his sights set firm on Rory Miller and the two large men when they inevitably clash I'm sure will make the ring crew work extra hard that day. Claudio has direction, now I wanna see Joe get some direction as well. Keep showing up on my screen and make me care about you, don't just do this match and fuck off back to catering. Clickbait #AD Segment: Clickbait is definitely a first for the type of character it is, at least while I've been here. I gotta admit I'm on the fence because while I enjoy the meme-ry and the silliness Clickbait does (cause how the hell are you gonna do a Rick Roll'd in 2024?) I am waiting patiently to see sorta the "true" identity of Clickbait so whether we get that in x weeks, months, years, never who knows. But the comedic value for these segments are a nice switch-up in terms of content that usually happens in OCW, part of me wants to see true chaos and have Clickbait as Pride Champ + Tag Champ. JynX + C-Note NA Champ Segments: I'm gonna bunch these two together since they obviously are tied into one another for each guy. JynX is showing the effort and trying to become a more proficient video editor which, practice makes progress and I've already shared my thoughts to the handler, however. I want to see more of JynX's actual personality, we get it you can win matches and you won a championship, but I wanna see you go back to the type of stuff you were doing when you and Paul Harris were feuding. Show me the witch doctor side, show me how crazy and fucked up JynX can be especially now since he is a champion and would want to keep that championship as long as he can. Onto C-Note, that segment was fantastic, the small things I REALLY need from you is please lord audio control, make that bitch a bit louder so that I don't gotta crank my volume to 100% and the very next segment ear humps me. I loved just about everything that segment encompassed and tbh, I'm cool if C-Note wants to get rid of the Prince Mamon alter ego/personality, I wasn't really a huge lover of it in the first place and if we wanna just put the blame on him and shove him out I'm totally good on it. I will say I need more to be convinced on this rematch, mainly from JynX I wanna see him take that next step into being his own champion and showing the audience + C-Note that he means business. Sue Plex vs. Kira Nightingale: Very very back and forth match from both of these women. I wasn't hugely in love with Kira standing in the ring when Sue is at a 9 count on the outside, you're a baby face (or I assume at least) go out there and get the woman who is trying to hide from you and avoid fighting. She is a champion, the momentum you could obtain from beating her is nothing to fuck around with and I will not accept the whole "I played her like she's newer" that's a very lame cop-out to me. Whether you were nervous, confused, etc it is what it is but just go get her and try to win by any means necessary. I'm also not in love with the whole claiming not to know you can win a match by sudden death at any point, that was another hot topic that was discussed in the VC, I feel it's been so normalized to just win matches by however that when I <- literally me, Brian, see the let outs or w/e that it does take me out a small bit. Back to mab v. Zoe, I understand wanting to get a crisp finish but if the win is right there, just take it at times so the match looks cleaner and not like eh. Sue obviously got the better of Kira by fucking her over and throwing a chair in her face which is hilarious heel heat, this is one of those times where I yearn for a baby face to emerge and come take the championship from Sue to give her that comeuppance. Sheldon x John Segment: Sheldon has been very up and down in terms of his momentum + alignment for the past couple years in OCW. The momentum part is one thing but alignment is another, while Sheldon is being positioned as a baby face against El Parca, we do see these glimpses of the resentful, frustrated part of Sheldon peeking out which I'd say is fine since you can't expect a person to immediately change their personality over night. I want to see this relationship with John grow and adapt more since these guys have a storied history together on how much they clashed against one another throughout their entire careers, John is also slowly but surely becoming another big emerging baby face in OCW that at this point in time is desperately needed. John v. Sheldon is 100% a world championship match down the road and these two are going to be tied to each other for quite some time especially with their crusade against El Parca, I just expect them both to continue this branch and not just ignore it after these few interactions. Claudio Upset Backstage: Simple and to the point, Rory needs to watch his back as he has truly angered the Tribal Cheeks. This just continues to build upon Claudio and his turn back to being the Tribal Cheeks and continuously being more and more frustrated with what has been happening to him in OCW the past couple of years as well. Dragana Saves Hifumi: Uniformity for segments is a good thing but it's an extra special/good thing when select characters have that extra razzle dazzle and spice to their segments. I love the Draganaverse and the overall vibe to the segments that we get from her, the music, camera angles, the emotions that are told through the segments while mainly just utilizing things in the game just goes to show the finesse and effort that is being put into them when they get created. I assume we eventually will get Sue vs. Dragana? Whether this is a PPV match or a TV match I'm cool with either as it ties back into my point of wanting a baby face to emerge and take the title from Sue. I'm sure Jay is somewhere crying that I back this but it'd be cool to go from a bitch heel to one of if not the most beloved woman on the roster as champ. I love these segments and it's always a nice palette refresher from our typical pro wrestling approached segments. Tag Team Battle Royal: God bless and kudos to everyone who thought this match would've been an 8 man match. Not only would the game have said go fuck yourselves but I just know the playing experience for a match like that would've most likely been dog shit. I wasn't really too fussed with the match, there isn't a whole lot you can expect from an OTR match, however I'd have liked to see Nate / OMEN not just do their own forms of 1v1s until they eventually had to meet because of the breakers/reversals making them get closer. It's a small thing but idk, seeing the two big guys go and target a small dude each is a smart thing it just wasn't the greatest type of thing to watch as I'd have liked to see more variety from them, Gabriel going out first was def a bit of a bummer, I love Gabriel and I really wanna love Underground Elite as well. I'm ngl I am not a fan of throwing 4 potential teams into one match and then getting a number one contender from it, because we're sorta back in the spot we were before Paul & Amart really became a team but now with Mac + Samsin. I trust and hope/expect both of them to try and give us as much as they can in the time to the build up before the PPV to make the pairing make more sense and be more organic. I also need DNS to lock in and dedicate two people into the tag team, I'm tired of them just freebirding people in and out, find two guys who wanna do the team and have them represent the faction in the tag division. I don't really know where Paul/Amart go from here but I imagine they will recover and be just fine as well. Valk Visits Home: It seems like Valks personal life is just a Blumhouse horror movie. The girl just doesn't seem to be able to get the type of personal life she truly wants, the segment was 3:35 but all that was covered + shown in it made it seem even longer in a good way. Perl really committed emotional damage to Valk on a level that I haven't seen like in quite some time. I assume Valk in time will recover from this and the build up back into that will be tremendous but I'm loving seeing this personal turmoil go on with her as it lets us explore more of who the woman is behind Valk. Also let me just say fuck her manager and fuck that woman who bought her parents house, Valk needs to surround herself with more positive people that aren't gonna lay salt into the damn wounds man, shits not cool. Aleksander Bolek vs. SAMSIN: This hasn't been uploaded to the youtube yet so I almost forgot about it. This match was just violence dude, I don't know how SAMSIN was able to keep going in that match with all that blood coming from his head but that shit was insane. Both of these dudes DID NOT want to lose to one another which added a level of intensity that I can really appreciate since this was a big match for both of them, tbh this match was a PPV esque level match on how they delivered. I'd be proud if I was either guy since yet again, this is a match where neither one of them looked "bad" or truly "lost" anything from it. I love the new level of presentation and seriousness we got from SAMSIN and I hope he keeps it up in both singles + the tag stuff now. He's been here long enough where he is more than capable of breaking that glass ceiling and truly getting some highlight moments for himself. Bolek will recover and be fine I'm sure, I'm still just patiently hoping he tries to take DNS over from BASH as that would make my dark soul happy but alas, I'll keep waiting hopefully. Samsin x Mac Segment: Both Mac + Samsin being successful tonight is a huge momentum wave they can ride together. I loved seeing Samsin with the bandage on his head as he sold that match like hell which y'know aesthetics and they are everything. Mac definitely needs to slow down at times when he's cutting promos, I get being in the zone but there's just times where he's saying so much and going so fast where I'm like holy shit what is happening right now, but more or less it'll be the same like I said before. I want both guys to be successful and I anticipate to see how they build their tag team now considering they got themselves a dance at the PPV against Mass Effect. I'll probably do the written stuff when I wake up or some shit but that's all I got in me for now, other people can talk about the Main Event and shit as well. But overall really good fucking show, everyone involved should be proud of themselves. Good shit people.

The faint sound of the final wave of humanity exiting the Barclay's Center grows quieter with each passing minute. In the backstage area, many crew members and OCW staff begin shutting down production and preparing to leave the arena for the final time before Road 2 Glory in Atlanta, Georgia. As more and more arena and OCW staff begin leaving, the silence grows even more present. The secluded area where The Frontline had been meeting for the past several months, now void of the comradery and brotherhood that occupied it mere hours ago. In its place, seated on the floor, the picture of defeat. Despite standing on his own two feet at the end of the show, surrounded by his allies, Inness Quartz now sits alone. His head rests against the concrete wall behind him, desperately trying to stop from sliding to the floor. Next to the former World Champion's husk, his white hooded sweatshirt. Quartz' dead eyes slowly peer over to it, seemingly to read the words on the back, the same words that he has championed since Certified Greatness... "Again. And Again. And Again. Forever." Quartz says nothing, simply opting to toss it off of the balcony, watching the shame and sweat covered top fall quickly to the level below. Ding His head turns slowly, watching the elevator in front of him as the doors slowly pry open. Inside... Nobody. Nothing. Quartz stares straight ahead as the doors close back again. The quiet surrounding the foolish man becomes deafening. Alone in his shame. The buffoon who believed Rust Cohle's façade. The imbecile who put his faith in the faithless. The coward who sat by and watched an innocent man framed. The egomaniac that risked the careers of 3 men to chase his own goals. The broken down washout who passed his prime years ago. The dipshit meathead who has been embarrassed at every turn. The disgraced hypocrite who viscously ended his former mentor. The disingenuous crybaby who pinned his failures on B17. The remnants of what used to be a respected champion. They're all right. They always have been. The words that once echoed throughout the Toyko Dome at Red Sun Rising begin playing again in his mind. "A soldier is a political tool, nothing more." No tears are shed, not so much as a blink dare interrupt Quartz' loathing. "That's doubly true if he's a career soldier. Right and wrong have no place in his mission." Lights begin to shut off in sections in the backstage area, the clank of the industrial lighting rigs provide the only auditory escape to the silence. "He has no enemies and no friends. Only the mission." Another rig shuts off. "Sooner or later, your conscience is going to bother you." The powered off fixtures begin enveloping Quartz in darkness. "In the end, you have to choose whether you're going to live as a soldier, or just another man with a gun." The overwhelming pride he took in what was CQC, in what was his first and closest ally, now a haze of uncertainty 8 days before he is scheduled to compete inside the Wargames cages. "There's a saying in the Orient..." Quartz eyes peer up to the final lighting fixture above him. The lights shut off with a loud clank, leaving him broken and alone in the darkness. Darkness that caused him to miss everything that was playing out in front of him. Darkness that could cost a man his career. Darkness that could render him an utter failure in the eyes of his allies, his peers, and himself. "'Loyalty to the end'... Do you know what it means?"

It was a very good show that was extremely full of content. It’s been a while since I have tried to do a review but figured why not. (After finishing this, holy shit there was a lot to review) OCW even in the time I have been here has grown a lot in terms of the production standard and the bottom floor of our production if you will. So, congratulations to everyone because that is quite an accomplishment. There has been a Megan Suzuki sighting. I like the character and hope to see more of her. I am more interested in what we find out about Beatrix. She seems cold, confident, and calculated. Nice hype for the opening contest and will get to more about them on the match. Belle and Ashley have put together an extremely intriguing feud to this point. I am glad they are continuing to do this. Ashley as the heel was the instigator and had Belle on the backfoot for a while. It’s a nice reward to see Belle getting her back. Nicely done with the camera angle of Ashley at the end. Samsin has a good voice for his character and can writes some very nice promos. I won’t discuss the garbage spewed during this promo however. As we all know it’s not true and an unfounded accusation. Our first Marisaverse appearance of the night in an interview with Brian Williams. Her and Mad Dawg are giving some very toxic vibes here and Brian doesn’t help by hyping up the El Parca connection. Nice written segment that begins to further tensions in multiple directions. Nice match between Beatrixx and Megan. Beatrixx appeared to be in control most of the match. I will need my royalties for the “Bingo Died For My Sins” you hit on Megan FYI. Loved the Flojo cut in during the match. Beatrixx has an interesting blend traditional moves, more modern flashy moves and strike combos. I hope we see more of Megan, she has a good look and could be a nice baby face in this women’s division. On a personal note, it’s crazy to hear your voice open a video package and not be expecting it. Quartz is at an interesting place in his career, and this does a good job of illustrating his issues with B17. He has really made this a personal issue and loved vibe around the entire segment. Quartz seems to have a list and he’s crossing names off of it. I thought the Omen promo worked for what it needed to accomplish. He is getting better at video production and his presence is being felt. Nice to see Scotty X getting back into things. I wish him well and will continue once his webshow segment is up. John dressing like Jackmo was funny. Jackmo getting mad about it is funny as well. I liked the Make Ambition Great Again name but can understand why they dropped it. DARK MAGA is such a dumb idea that it fit well. Not sure about the name but I will give it time to grow on me. Marisa vignette, won’t say much. Short and sweet, Ry is super talented. Back with Scotty X he is reliving all of his past encounters with DNS and The Temple of Omen. The Wake up thing feels like some stuff I have seen Wrex do in the past. Not saying it is him but that left me wanting to know more. Not sure I love the empty pain killer angle, but if he rises above it and overcomes it’ll be a good story. I don’t normally comment on DNS stuff. However, I heard some commentary about him. Petr is filling a valuable role in DNS and I look forward to Baker getting a bit better on the sticks. Glad to see Belakor doing stuff to keep furthering himself even outside the DNS ecosystem. Jacob Hawk should probably watch his mouth. Should be interesting to see what these two come up with. Good work liked the still shot of Belakor near the end. Nice to see Christine making the rounds on the interview circuit. More on her later. I will cover the multipart Sherlock/Watson with the main event. Mad Dawg cuts a nice promo here and begins shedding his DNS aesthetic. Nice promo overall even if it was all bullshit. Nice short segment with Christine seeing Dragana. I like the way they’ve worked Christine into the Draganaverse. More to come on this. BAE BAE is huge man. I say that everytime he shows up on OCW TV. Jackmo and his ring rust were exposed here. John fought hard as any good face should. Nice length for a team match both teams worked quite well together. I would like to see some uniform gear from the Executive Order. Nice win for ClickBAE. Kass challenges Bolek to a match at End Games. A steel cage with no escape allowed. Guess they watched the Apocalypse match and said fuck that. Should be interesting to see if Bolek accepts the match. I like you sold out chants, and Quartz gear looks very nice. The daddy line build up was chefs kiss. Really enjoyed the aura of Quartz and they are building quite the interesting story here. The womens fatal 4 way match that would never end. I would cut it differently if we were cutting things. The Apocalypse match for me was a good learning experience regarding that. Sue plex showed out in her last match in the company. Big win for Skadi getting her some momentum. Bobbi’s gear was absolutely fire. Pugh working the rookies out at the combat center has finally had enough of this. He is back in business for himself only. I am very happy to see a more focused Paul Pugh if he stays out of my way. Pugh told them how he really felt about the situation. Segment was very well written and served the purpose. Very nice celebration segment for UE. Damn that thing was long. I am really starting to believe in them as a group. The hype video of all them was done a good recap of their short history. They deserved to have this celebration and I want to keep seeing big things. I would like to see the in game stuff cut in the future for a recap video like this. Just a small nitpick. We just talked about Skadi and her big win in that fatal four way. Now we have her addressing her last feud partner in Marisa. She still seems to have an axe to grind with the world champion. Nicely written and I like the “Storm is coming” stuff. Sheldon and Petie was my MOTN. Two guys who just really get what OCW is about. Lots of drama with long counts for people to get back into the ring. This match was so back and forth anyone could have won it at anytime. These guys also understand their characters strengths and how to play up to them. I loved the couple of near falls they had and was legit on the edge of my seat watching. Great work to both of these guys. Devon Flash is getting in his shit heel back and I am here for it. Who is not here for it is Nate “The Great” Ortiz. Told the young man he wasn’t ready to step into the ring with a legend. Monica big timing Devon was also hilarious. Nate saving her at the end with the “Come On” was also a very nice touch. Liking the direction I am seeing from Flash, and always appreciate the fact Nate is willing to mix it up with just about anyone. Marisa is so damn toxic and her relationship with Dawg is too. Dawg messed up leaving DNS for this strumpet. Also touching JCS isn’t the thing I would advise anyone to do. As always waiting for more of this trainwreck next week. Dragana is always trying to bring up new talent. Christine is no different in this respect. Her involvement in a feud with Dragana could serve to give her the momentum it did Junko. I like Bolek too, so I am happy he is getting this chance. Christine and her growth as a character in terms of her look has been nice. Sheldon shows up to give Luis Bishop a warning. I like the “You already went through one “Foster parent” and Parca won't be any better.” line. Sheldon is in an interesting place as he has clearly changed. I don’t think I buy that all the light has been let out of his heart. Luis is the type of character who fits in a group setting quite well. Good segment and I hope to see more between these two. A Larry Mugen sighting in our Quartz Inner Struggle video. Very nicely put together and this continues to add to my excitement for their encounter. Whenever that should end up being. The Mugen thread between B17 and Quartz should be noted as I think it will be a factor in some way. The Sherlock/Watson stuff was fucking hilarious. I am happy to take a joke at my expense and others did as well. Both guys leaned into their funny and less serious sides. I think they managed to balance these things quite well. Iceman is a taco mark so him getting distracted by those makes a lot of sense. It was a nice way to do a secret warz main event. Speaking of the main event Cold Front was ultra impressive after their respective losses at Clash. When this thing started I thought there was no chance for Cold Front and the early part of the match supported that theory. Iceman countering the Trouble in Tijuana right into the Icebreaker was a great way for this to end. The Nova appearance adds an extra layer to this. Sheldon showing up at the end to back Cold Front leaves me a lot of unanswered questions. I get he hates El Parca. Overall a fun main event and a good show. As always thanks to JCS and everyone who helps make these shows possible. Thank you if you read all of my rambling thoughts as well.

OCW CHAMPION LEAVING OCWFED? With the hugely anticipated start of the historic twentieth season of OCW there has been a lot of news in the past few weeks. Let’s dive into all the glitz, glam, drama, and horror. All sources involved in this article are currently going to remain anonymous unless explicit consent was given beforehand. OCW World Heavyweight Champion El Parca has yet to enter into the testing pool for the historic twentieth season. Sources are reporting a number of issues facing why the champion has yet to enter thus far, the two main talking points have been… Parca is on a contract year and is in a standstill with negotiations involving management and his longterm manager, Dennis Dillinger. Details are sparse as the negotiations have been ongoing for as early as Anniversary in December after Parca retained his championship against John Carter. Talks were at first very positive but with whispers of complaints about management, they have gone to a standstill. Feeding into the issues about his contract, sources backstage claim to have seen Parca throw the OCW World Heavyweight Championship at OCWFed Owner/CEO, Jaysin Clinton Sensation. Sources are also claiming that Sensation went on a ballistic tirade trying to chase after the champion with some unsavory words being exchanged between the two men. Brian Williams reached out to El Parca’s longtime manager, Dennis Dillinger, asking for his input, which is what Dillinger sent back. “Aha! Comical "journalism" as always, folks. First of all, obviously I am not going to comment on contract status regarding ANY client of ADE Holdings. I'm a businessman, not a mark like you all. The only thing El Primero is "sick of" at this point are the same biased, unsubstantiated nonsense claims that you people used to turn the world against him and quite frankly, I am also sick of it. So as the greatest entity in sport and entertainment, we are going to push through the noise and come out the other side, stronger than ever. ...No, no more questions. You look like you own a Marisa body-pillow anyways. Eugh.” While it still is very unclear on the status of the OCW World Heavyweight Champion, one thing can be sure, this would be a disaster for the company if one of their champions were to walk out while still holding the most coveted prize in their company. Williams sought out a response from JCS but to no avail. We here at Snarkaholic will be sure to keep all of you in the loop when we find out more details surrounding El Parca and his future within OCWFed. Newest Class at the Combat Center! Shockwaves were sent through the roster during the off-season, the rookie class of Spring 2025 was announced. We saw and would like to congratulate the following rookies for being promoted to full-time wrestlers. Perl, Petie Wheat-Straw, Eddie Ramos, Gabriel Vincent, Sammuel Omen, Paul Harris, BAE and Junko Jiirotta. With the promotions comes the companies annual signing spree where we see talents from all over the world try and stake their claim for a coveted full-time wrestling contract with OCWFed, the signing spree was a complete success as OCW General Manager, Legend, and outright Best of all Time, Tiberius Dupree went far and wild to sign some of the most diverse talent we have seen signed in quite sometime. Ricky Colon, Kaiya Crowley, Cheryl Stixx*, Daryl Webster*, and Serena La Diosa have all been signed or resigned with OCW bringing them into the fold for the historic twentieth season of the fed. Cheryl Stixx and Daryl Webster are returning competitors we have seen in the past few years that were beyond promising and it's a pair of excellent additions alongside with the newest rookies signed as well for the promotion. While signing season is never truly over for OCW and we have seen that many times throughout the years, Tiberius Dupree really drove it home at a press conference when addressing the new signess... "Competition and competitors never sleep... which means my phone is always going off and interrupting my me time and snack time... fuggin animols... but I breathe, sleep, and bleed OCW so I will endure all the pains you ruffians and poors could not handle." Season 20 Premiere is beyond Close! Wrapping up our story today will focus on the return of OCW, the return of RIOT with the Season 20 premiere.

Flash, a successful tag team wrestler, former tag team champion and a successful snitch is looking to secure his first singles championship in his OCW career but he must go through the Franchize if he wishes to do so. The road to Summercide and the road to the Future Investment starts here, we have THREE of our Future Investment qualifier matches with the stakes higher than ever before. The first being a SIX MAN Gauntlet match between Nate Mac, Samsin Simsin, Tre Golden, Anthony Martin, Sheldon Tremblay, and Joe Deaver, this is going to be a war to see who will advance further into the tournament trying to get their shot at the finals at Certified Greatness.

okay so let’s talk about the first match bcs like… emotions. valkyrie vs. perl hell in a cell, and honestly they did their thing. like these two have been beefing for months, and valkyrie has been losing every single time. i was so nervous for her 😭 but omg this match??? valkyrie walked in vag firrrrsstt. like, she wasn’t just there to fight. she was there to END it. the cell was such a vibe, all dramatique. perl was there too. i actually like her from a heel standpoint tho i think its just her annoying skinny boy body that kinda pmo lmaooooooo 😭😭 the outfits….wellllll. perl still needs to figure out what the hell she’s wearing bcs none of the things she wears are very flattering to her tbh. sister needs to put in the work in the fit department. now valk……. i’m afraid not a single gear u wear now will ever top ur hard target gear. that was so gorgeeeeeeeeee !! do more like that gear i’ll be gagging over it !!! not really a fan of extreme matches tho this one..it was giving chaos but like… the kind u can’t look away from. there was one moment where perl did the headscissors from the top of the cell into falling to the ring LOL oopsiee, and valk going down from the top with a jump too okayyyy miss batgirl ! the finish was sooo satisfying. valk finaaally won something, it was such a moment. she finally got her redemption after all this time, and it was just... IT. 💗💗 ngl i really thought it was over for the good sister when she lost to bash..... sis didn’t deserve to lose to some white obese man. hard to watch!!! but at last she rose above it ! so so proud of her. what a queen. 🦋 the marisa vs skadi match was, like… layers upon layers of storytelling wrapped in chaos, and it had me feeling things from start to finish their clash wasn’t just physical, it was a whole debate in a ring, and i’m here for the layers, even if the story felt low-key messy at times. the match itself? didn't expect it to be that much one sided where skadi is almost afking n marisa just doing all kinds of moves and taunting the whole match. lackluster for me. the match did not live up to the story i fear. now, let’s talk about the message here because… eek. i’m not even sure if i should even try explaining my nuanced views on this story, but whateverrr. both sides in this story are so very wrong. i don’t find any of the perspectives presented here to be cute, sassy, empowering, or otherwise defensible. and since i’m not a man, they’re not titillating either, just tedious n irritating. skadi’s whole beauty doesn’t matter stance has validity, society’s obsession with looks is suffocating - but here’s the thing: women like marisa, who love their makeup, outfits n showing off their bodies, aren’t the enemy. this shouldn’t be about making women feel bad for how they present themselves—it’s about choice. that said, skadi’s point of view felt like yet another instance of how, time and time again, jealous, hateful, ugly women disguise their envy behind academia, intellectualism or philosophy. feels like an attempt to justify bitterness, but honestly, it’s just complete bs. however, marisa’s response, relying on the classic misogynistic u’re just so jealous of me trope, isn’t any better since it's used particularly to silence women when they have a valid concern with another woman’s behavior. what makes this trope even weaker here is that marisa isn’t even the epitome of the so-called beauty standard. there are several other women who outshine her n objectively look better. that makes her claim of being envied lose a lot of its power, it’s hard to even say, sad but true ! bcs it’s not. i also don’t get the obsession with connecting hyper-femininity or taking care of ur appearance to something shameful. i didn't like her speech criticizing women who embrace femininity and fashion as a mask, suggesting that we are somewhat compromising our feminist principles for personal gain or societal expectations. it’s also worth pointing out how both characters, in their flawed perspectives, leave a lot of destruction in their wake for goals that feel small-minded n unambitious, like being personally adored and admired by all. sure, it’s obviously preferable to be seen as pretty vs ugly, but if that’s ur entire core construct, u’re kind of a moral loser. i really shouldn’t overthink this bcs it’s pretty clear this was written by people that have never personally experienced the issues they’re trying to tackle in this story but i guess from an outside point of view and not looked through a gynocentric lens this is a very entertaining story lol content is content after all as they say. ps. save the fake deep weaponization of social justice terminology… from the bash/jordan segment i only have to say; the bobbi mouth line so fucking disgusting. stop it forever. i’m literally begging. NO more. junko vs dragana. how refreshing is to see junko wearing something different than a recolor!! really pretty gear junkoooo. keep them coming ! 🖤 oh god..i still have no idea why steven is purple-ish. giving rotten pork skin jjsjsajsjahaj i literally cannottt with that character i don’t really know what to say about the bertha emp thing, very predictable, bertha played as if a toddler was on the sticks. i thought it was kinda ironic that this was promoted as ‘’her biggest challenge’’ buuuut slay. this felt like loading into a quick play match not gameplay wise but where ur opponent’s caw looks like a whole ass mess sooo unserious. the dns vs team b17 hype package is my favvvvvv of the night. i rlly rlly liked the graphics n the introduction of the members soooo cool !! and the match well, dns cleaning the house hard. mad dawg and marisa... their relationship it’s just soo unglamorous and so doused in co-dependent addictions. like they both need rehab asap. also please silence mad dawg. i feel no sympathy for a man who would willingly put himself in that position. a man see one biscuit head ass good looking woman n think they gotta smash. he asked for it. marisa going home with a dry coochie. u think you need a boyfriend but u really just need to workout and eat an avocado. drink some green tea my sista, it will be alright. main event time. i was so disheartened to see john lose 😞 i really wanted him to win but it is what it is. star of the match, spot of the night. the match was very entertaining to watch really good. they both did great, and the chemistry was unmatched. every move felt personal, and u could tell how much it meant to both of them. parca's gear was so beautiful gjgj i love me a second string loser !! being champ is suuuper overrated anyway !!!!!! and please let’s stop making fun of the way people , especially women, talk 😘 xx

Bustling about inside the lobby of The Theater at Madison Square Garden, OCWFed hosts it's annual Season Premiere Party. A drone camera catches shots of hundreds of OCW Faithful meeting with some of their favorite stars. The social media montage continues covering a very busy Wednesday afternoon. Stacy Clark sits on stage facilitating interactions and enjoying some admiration herself. A shot during the montage shows Jaysin Sensation and Tiberius Dupree in high spirits, waving to fans. Another shot sees OCW Ambassador Terra Daturas signing autographs and posing for photos with fans of all ages. As the montage fades out, we head back to the live action as Monica Lesaro is on the ground floor, navigating around the excitement and smiling faces. Monica: Yes, we are incredibly excited to see the turnout for our OCWFed 2025 Premiere Party. Fans have traveled from all over the world to join us here at the Theater at Madison Square Garden where they get the opportunity to meet and greet with some of their favorite wrestlers. Monica smiles as a "DRIFT. DRIFT. DRIFT." chant breaks out behind her amongst a group of excited Goddrifter fans. She needs to raise her voice so the camera crew can still hear her over the cheers. Monica: We already saw Mr. Sensation and many others on the main stage earlier today and as you can tell, the people are undoubtedly ready for Friday night. Monica continues shuffling through a pumped crowd, the camera catching many young fans together dressed as their heroes in OCWFed, a young man dressed as Iceman Nate Mac notices the camera and throws his shades on, twirling his finger in the air and posing in support of his favorite. As Monica continues, she steps past one of the rope barriers with the camera crew to one of the many "Meet & Greet" stations posted inside the venue. Standing at the desk in front of a large banner is one of OCW's newest rookie sensations, Beatrixx. She smiles wide as she speaks to a young red-headed girl, no older than 7 or 8, standing with her mother. Monica: The Premiere Party is one of the best opportunities to meet with the stars of OCW, as we all know how focused the men and women of the locker room get once that first bell of the season echoes throughout Madison Square Garden. The camera crew approaches closer as the family of fans notice Monica and get even more excited. The light in the young girls eyes is incomparable, her happiness radiating through the lens. She continues chatting with Beatrixx, who is leaning over the table to be sure to not miss a word. Young Girl: Your hair is so pretty! Beatrixx: How sweet, I only wish it were as pretty as yours. Young Girl: My mommy said she used to watch you too! I don't believe her though! Beatrixx raises an eyebrow to the mother, who is also smiling with love watching her daughter so full of joy and excitement. Mother: Yes, I used to be a production assistant for DNA Intensity during your tenure there. Beatrixx: Ahhh! Well, I do appreciate your work... Both in our business as well as in raising this future champion. Beatrixx smiles and looks back down at the girl nodding. Young Girl: No way!! Me and my mom are going to be in the front row for the show on Friday, right mom? Her mother shrugs coyly. Mother: I've never stopped loving the game, what can I say? Young Girl: Are you gonna be wrestling on Friday?! Beatrixx purses her lips for a moment in thought, before they return to the smile. Beatrixx: Hmmm... Those are great seats. I will be around on Friday, but I do not have a match. Beatrixx: I will be on Turmoil though... The girl, though still excited, seems to try and hide her disappointment. Beatrixx: ...but maybe, if mom doesn't mind taking a ride to Brooklyn.... Beatrixx peers back up to mom again, whose eyes seem to light up at the implication. Beatrixx: I can talk to a few people and make sure you're there to see it. The mother nods feverishly, her own excitement beginning to mirror her daughters. The Young Girl jumps up in excitement. Beatrixx: Here, write down your information. I'll be sure there's space for you both... But only if I can hear you cheering in the front row on RIOT, promise? As the child nods and celebrates. Young Girl: WE PROMISE!! The mother hugs Beatrixx tightly and the two pose for a quick picture, before she is handed a piece of paper to receive her gift. The camera backs away from the conversation and back to Monica, who herself has gotten caught up in the gesture of kindness. Monica: Dreams coming true all over the place here at the Premiere Party and we're just getting started! Monica: We're very close to the Season 20 premiere of RIOT on Twitch.tv/ocwfed, brought to you by RUSH TV. You do NOT want to miss it! Monica corrals the crew back through the crowd as we cut to a graphic promoting the first show of Season 20.

The scene opens on the busy streets of Sumida, Tokyo, Japan. Through the bright lights and steady traffic, A large tour bus sticks out like a sore thumb making its way down the street. Inside the tour bus, we see the Super Rookie Junko Jiirota sitting feet up on a comfy chair. Staring intensely into her cell phone as it rings.........she ignores the call and continues examining a text message from her godfather Akita. Reading the text message out loud for the 23rd time. Junko: "Hey Junko.........first off I just wanted to say Omedeto. Not only for an amazing first 10 months in OCW but in America as well! I know I was hyper critical of your decision the last couple months. But not only have you captivated the audience, you've shattered my expectat-" NOBODY GIVES A F-.... Junko's outburst scares the tour bus driver causing him to swerve. She looks up embarrassed and apologizes. Taking a deep breath, she continues reading. Junko: "You've shattered my expectations in terms of how quickly you've grasped life over here. I know you're probably rolling your eyes reading this right now......." YOU KNOW ME SO WELL! "I figured that you coming over to America and me no longer having to ref matches full time would've awarded me more time with you. Turns out it was the opposite. I know its probably not a good excuse for you....." Junko scoffs Junko: Not even close old man... "But I really am committed to making this up to you and bringing our family together. I owe that to you both. And it starts here. I know you're in Tokyo for physical therapy. I'm also here scouting new talent for OCW. Haven't really found any promising prospects so I have a bit of free time before the new season start. I have a surprise for you. Meet me at this address friday night. See you soon. Junko growls and slams her phone down on the chair. As angry as she wanted to be at Akita, she couldn't help but be excited to finally get some long sought after father-daughter time. It had been years since they had done so. He was very pivotal in Junko tapping into her physical gifts, pursuing sumo than venturing into professional wrestling. However, Akita was widely renowned in the country for being an elite level trainer in combats sports. He founded one of the most popular training facilities dubbed "Jiirota Fight Team". As the business grew in infamy, his time with wife and two kids shrunk, affecting Junko the most. Eventually Jayson Sensation and OCW came calling giving him an offer he couldn't refuse. With the gym bringing in more than enough money and the coaching staff, Akita was able to retire as a coach and possibly expand to western territory. Him and his wife were able to move to America, leaving their two children in Japan. Her phone rings again...... The tour bus comes to a halt snapping Junko out of her reminiscing episode. She exits the bus in the parking lot of the prestigious Ryogoku Kokukigan Sumo Hall. As she steps foot onto the concrete, much to her surprise, the super rookie is flooded by fans yelling her name. Junko: Hmm...I guess they do watch OCW over here....why in the world did Oyaji bring me here? She reluctantly takes a pictures and sign autographs staring up at the large building she once called home. As she scans stadium walls her eyes fixate on a billboard titled "SAIGO NO INORI". Seemed to be a kickboxing event was being held tonight. In the middle of the billboard there was a a photo of a man facing the opposite direction. Slim but athletic build. Buzz cut hair. And a large tattoo of Buddha on his back. Clearly this person was who everyone came to see. Junko still confused, made her way into the arena. The security guards greeting her almost as if they were expecting her. One of guards offers to escort her through the arena to her seat ringside. With memories of her Sumo days now rushing back like a tidal wave, Junko found herself getting teary eyed As she gets closer to her destination, the sounds of oriental hip hop instrumentals paired with an traditional Japanese instruments grew in octaves mixed in from noise of the crowd ........her phone rings again. As she reached her ringside destination, Junko took to her seat a few rows back from the action, ignoring the attention from the fans and observing the two kickboxers in the ring attacking one another. In the seat beside her, she notices a petite woman smiling at her sweetly. Junko ignores her momentarily still focused in the ring now, double takes realizing who the woman was. Junko: Okasan! Teary eyed but excited Junko wraps her mother Emiko in a joyful bearhug. The two embracing. Junko: But wait, what brings you here? I was gonna call you but Oyaji told me to come to this place. I just cant find him. The bell ring sounds interrupting Junko's interrogation. With a not so innocent smile on her face, Emiko motions her head towards the ring. Junko shifts her focus back to the ring seeing the two combatants. One of the kickboxers makes his way back to his corner in the same direction Junko and Emiko were seated. He stops for a moment, notices the two women and smirks taking a seat in his corner. Junko locks eyes with the man still confused, she questions her mother. Junko: Nani? Whats with that dork? Whys her smiling at us? Why is he toying with his opponent? What the hell is going Okasan?! Emiko still smirking suspiciously Emiko: Surprise Jun-channnnn. Junko continues starring at the man, whos now sitting in the corner focusing on his breathing and instructions from his corner men. Her noticing the large tattoo on his back. She finally deduces that the man on the billboard is the same kickboxer in the ring. She continues analyzing him and finally comes to a shocking realization........ Junko: No way........baby ....bro? Junko then focuses on the two corner men. One of the older men garners her attention more than the other. Her eyes widen after she puts two and two together.....Emiko smiles even harder. Junko: Kudaranai koto! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME !!!!! The tattooed kickboxer hearing the noise, now grinning as the super rookie's voice now booming through the crowd. Finding his sister's anger amusing. The scene ends with Junko finally answering her phone. Realizing who the caller is, her lovely assistant Pom, her anger grows even more. Junko: Very bad timing Pom-u... What do you want?!?

Hello OCW, Short Update post as the dates are approaching for new season. As Jay's announcement in discord said, Move thread will be going up Next Saturday, March 22ND. Early Access had a broken first week with the game and now full release is here and you all get a week with the game. Which brings me to the first DCAWS change this season, Our upload hashtag for your caw's stats. These caws should be your caw with nothing that needs unlocking from any mode, their stats, proper weight class and fighting style that will be used in matches that shouldn't change without another check up. If you are accused of cooking this upload will be the comparison to what you used in the match. On top of what is already mentioned this caw should have the appropriate number of paybacks equipped or No paybacks equipped, making it so your OCW caw should never accidentally have the wrong amount of paybacks when loaded into a match. #S20WT : Only one version of your caw needs to be uploaded under this tag, all other attires and changes throughout the season that does not effect stats should go under #OCWFed or whatever private #s you share amongst each other. Again this upload should have the following: Stats Weight-class Style Paybacks No Mode Unlockables If any of these things are not correct, you will fail. FPR Changes are still being discussed and will remain a open topic, beyond removing the current dodge rule out of necessity, nothing is yet set in stone. Please play the game and provide feedback or your experiences with each other, the first few weeks to months will be a fluid time of change for FPR and the Handbook. That is all, as always, Good luck Have Fun.

Quick one from me. Thanks to Jim, Jay, Emp, Parca and Jake for help with production stuff on this. It came out great. Shout out to the people who put in content - this kinda could've been a shit show because, if we're being honest, we didn't have the rookies taking the initiative this season the same way we did last season. It was being booked as a PPV and I was really clear in November - there would be no handouts. I had to pull some levers to get us into a position where we had a viable show, which I'm not complaining about because it came out great. I just wanted more from our rookies... not named Junko, Vincent, Omen, Petie, Eddie, Goddrifter and whoever else I missed (I apologise). With that being said, this was my last Ambition. I alluded to it the other day, but I'm the only person still standing who was involved in the first Ambition to be still involved in Ambition 100. It's time for me to go. I've had a great 2 years working with all the rookies that are now hassling each other on the main shows and that means my version of Ambition has served its purpose. I initially didn't wanna do it, but it was fun to expose the roster to a taste of what Ambition used to be. I feel like it's been a great proving ground for people to get their footing in what OCW is about. It was also fun to do comms with Jim, Twin #1 and Voldemort, so shout out to those folks for always being down to work around my schedule. I don't know what is next for Ambition, but if it became Jim's show I would not be mad about it - he's the new Jake. Finally, shout out to Jay for streaming the fucking thing every other Wednesday. You all don't appreciate the shit he does to make this place not only function but excel. Also, PS - Ace Angel was supposed to fight Clickbait, not Bash. PPS - Fuck you Dupree.

The OCW arena buzzes with activity as the crowd murmurs in anticipation. Suddenly, the light dims. A low unsettling hum echoes through the speakers, growing louder as fog begins to flow onto the stage. A large figure with a scarred face, Markus Belakor. His rugged clothing and the worn duffle bag slung over his shoulder catch the light briefly before he stops at the center of the stage. His eyes sweep across the crowd, both thoughtless and erratic. Belakor stands silently for a moment, letting the atmosphere build. Then he reaches for a microphone tucked into the side of the bag. The crowd quiets, intrigued by the new presence. Belakor: You don’t know me… but you will. He paces slowly, his boots thudding against the metal ramp, his voice low and deliberate. Belakor: Places like this, they’re always the same at first. Full of noise, bravado, people puffing their chests like it’ll make a difference when it counts. But here… He gestures toward the crowd, with a faint smirk. Belakor: Here feels… different. It’s not the noise. It’s the cracks I see underneath it. Belakor stops at the edge of the ramp, staring into the sea of fans as if trying to see through them. His expression is unreadable, his voice dropping to a near growl. Belakor: The question isn’t if this place will break. It’s when. He grips the strap of his duffle bag tightly, the knuckles of his hand turning white as he lifts the bag slightly, showing it off slightly. Belakor: You probably wonder what’s in here, right? You think it’s a weapon, a statement, or maybe some token of a past I’m running from. He chuckles, shaking his head as he takes a few steps forward. Belakor: none of those. What’s in here? It’s a reminder of why I’m here. A reminder that sometimes… He raises his head, his gaze locking with the camera, his voice sharpening Belakor: Sometimes, you have to tear everything down to find what’s real. The audience murmurs, some intrigued, others uneasy, as Belakor steps back into the fog. The ominous hum rises again, and the lights flicker briefly before returning to full brightness. By the time the haze clears Belakor is gone.

Swamped per usual pretty sure I typed something out but I probably forgot or didn't hit send so random musings. International Hospice Championship - Very sweet capstone to a story/angle thats taken place 95% in Text (THE OLD COUNTRY WAY) I don't think a lot of ppl can appreciate that. Although I haven't seen ppl mention it so either they don't know or they actually read shoes. I'm excited for the match is PUGH gonna turn on RUST? is Rust gonna turn on Pugh, Is Nate gonna murder everyone? Is Larry going to "B17" Nate?. Can't wait Dark Bishop - Probably not dark at all, being under the tutelage of one of the champs who has a chip on his shoulder you would think Lui is going to the dark side. But it doesn't feel like that. Will he have an edge? Mebbe but this feels like its just Lui Lui with another "insert word here" IE with Wrex he really wasn't Scumcity like he was just there. So maybe we will see a mean streak with this iteration? OCAEW - Sammy vs Dawg So like I said I don't know what happend but from Sept to Present we had this weird slip! There has been hardcore and outlaw matches every week and we will have 2 more at hard target. AFTER NEXT PPV its back to the status quo! IE in moderation. ANYWAY match was fun didn't overstay its welcome and the finish was perfect pro wrestling. Cyber Bolek & Baddie Jesus fucking just the visual of sith lord bolek popped me. I guess its official now bobbi is brain washed! Wonder where this leads as bobbi is tied to chance. The RyVerse Meets The BashVerse! Skadi-Isms- Not sure how I feel about the writing style as a departure from Morrison its more mini short story almost. It's not bad or good just different. The Story is about the journey not the destination I suppose just along for the ride. Beat The Clock - Kass vs Nate GOD DAMMIT @Nate Ortiz JUST TAKE THE COUNT OUT! This match was over twice in record time since Kass had a concussion. (Kent and I was very against all 3 matches since essentially its mini ppv matches on TV Tapings) But fuck it give the people what they want. Anyway Nate showed honor and Kass is a dickhead. On the plus side this opens up a definitive 1 v 1 which whenever it happens WILL BE ON NEXT PPV! fuck kass FloJoing with Bae - I'm just happy to see Flojo on an rp if im honest, and I kind of like the kind of likeable scumbag that is bae. There is a lot of potential for B.A.E to kind of be OCWFED's Booster Gold. REAL GLASS - Gabriel and his segments have been a real treat these past few weeks, I only regret that this wasn't later in the show. I legit saw Petie in my imagination running out to help, petie and Eddie oh well. Solid seggy. Jordy Being Jordy & Tre Being Tre- Jordan does a great job of just being a smary asshole, more so that the guy he is cosplaying "Jungleboy" The Tre x Jordan thing as been refreshing, Wrestling can be simple and fun and this feels very simple and very fun. Deb Emp Hype - Whats to say quick to the point slick we are too good at this (she is too good at this) Belle vs Junko - Really solid match. I don't rem if it was my MOTN vote but maybe it should be! Watching this match you heard me bitching about Belle's rating in the survey. Belle don't be having bad matches and if you think so you are wrong! Although it takes TWO to tango! Junko has been a house of fire since finally figuring it out and defeating Skadi in her debut. Like I remember the voting and it was like nothing for Junko then Junko comes out here Dump Matsumotoing everyone. It reminds me of like when Wrex figured out how to stop being stinky at the game, or when Super Mario Bash kind of figured it out. Watching it in real time with a rookie is so cool. But yes this match had lil bit of everything. ACTUALLY I REM why its not my MOTN Junko in her John Carter bag of OLE dodgeroo, Wakeup Dodge, Dance, DODGE. Either way solid outing and fun to watch. B17 B17ing - I will never abide with the whole "Choke me Daddy" thing its weird and not for the reason you think. B17 doesn't even have a fucking choke sub or fin or move! Anyway B17 is an odd duck but he servers his purpose and is leaps and bounds better than Boring 17. The build for the match which will later be splinterfest had OODLES of fucking history so delicious. Also shout out to the A-Team Shirt (they will never know) If you didnt one of the most decorated tag teams in the ambition era or shit 2013-2014 idk. Clark Effect - Melon has been delivering consistent wholesome content in the form of P3 written content from like 2019 and then some to now with these short videos (Not bad for a part timer). Always hilarious always awesome, the build with Sue is super simple and once again super fun. Cute Glasses, (insert dragana laugh here) Tag Team Turmoil - Pivot vs Underground Elite - Bog standard tag match up nice blending of tagtastic moves by both teams. Pivot has grown to work very well together, UE is almost there on the cohesiveness but are well on there way if they remain consistent, lil ring of honor , honor to cap things off. Kind of popped me how Harris was like youll get there dudes, as if he also isn't a rookie. GOOD BIG BROTHER THOSE NERDS! C-Note High Jinx - I haven't hated this build and the presentation have seemed to have elevate both creativity. Only quibble would be the transition at the end I mean I could get all aghast and be like WTF but shit happens. Looking forward to the match. Tonight Show Seggi - The Presentation was fucking TOP Notch. I guess Fallon is Canon. I'm one part on the fence with using "Made up entities" vs "Actual entities" but that just a me thing. I dug this segment a lot my only quibble would be it seemed like Valk was trying to downplay the mugshot as BOYZ BEING BOYZ kind of like the Kayfabe deal. I could kind of see that argument. Trying to downplay it since she has a HUGE SHOW coming up as BOYZ BEING BOYZ, but then a giant ginger nerd comes and beats the fuck out of her thus showing "ITS REAL" I don't know if that was the intention but if it was BRAVO. We have had loads of Intergender matches when you look at it. This one is going to be interesting and potentially fatal. Loved the whole Valk/Perl/Bash thing. If your coming back to OCWFED heading into the BashVerse ain't a bad deal its kind of like Old Pro Wrest but with Modern Trappings good shit. Blaining - Basically I'm here and I need work! Standard modus operandi BEAT THE CLOCK 2- B17 vs Mugen - So like I thought they where friends! I would have never predicted Larry walking into a match with the CCW World Champion and handing him his ass. Because #1 Fuck Larry, #2 Fuck Larry. But here we are. It wasn't as one sided as I'm describing but it was just wild to witness. I guess Larry didn't forget about there first match. It's only fair Larry debuts "Bingo Died for his sins" at HARD TARGET...LOL. And much like the Kass Nate match prior this opens up a rubber match (so mission accomplished) but Jesus Christ I thought y'all was friends. No More Mister Nice Guy - Super slick, the parallels in career highlighted where nice to see. My only gripe Sheldon is to low (I don't mind his reserved nature) but we need to pipe him up a lil bit. The end bit was icing on the cake parca being a cunt is always a good time. Last bit for some reason I think Sheldon doing promos in German with subtitles might be better. And no it's not a heel thing! I just think he would probably be more comfortable which in turn would kick things up a notch. Hell hit the german with sub titles then you can cap off with english at the end for emphasis. Example would be "Cuts promo in german with subs" then at end in english "AT HARD TARGET, ITS BLOOD AND WINE" MIC DROP! Sit Down Interview - Really well done. BOO is like one of the best to do it, shit so is Deb. Sidebar I really love the dynamic of Monica (new) and Stacy (Legend) seeing them together doing things feels right and feels like a natural progression for a legacy char! But back to the action this has been a slowly boiling build (if you look back and pay attention) that got kick up a notch post cide. It's going to be a showdown for the ages! or sumthin. It's also very pro wrestling! Main Event - WREX vs Rust It's Great, Wrex is a dick. Incorporating the Folks in the International match in the CCW picture I don't know if it's ideal or not but either way match was to the point and succinct and Wrex along with Kass showing they will do ANYTHING TO WIN! Closing Thoughts---------------- Bummed didn't see a single thing from the tag team division. I don't mind missing a show or 2 on the lead up but for the go home not having anything is kind of a let down. If videos are time consuming on time crunch couple of sentences would be fine. HELL you could even do a mini rp and a photo of a face off to end things. I might be wrong but I think tag was the only thing that did not have a go home segment. GOING TO USE CAPS FOR THIS IF YOU ARE DOING A PICK YOUR POISON MATCH OR WHATEVER AND THE PARTICIPANTS ARE UNKNOWN THEN HAVE THEM COME OUT FUCKING LAST HAVING THEM COME OUT FIRST IS A WET FART. AND THE EXCUSE FROM BOTH WAS "THAT'S HOW IT WAS GIVEN TO ME" OK COOL OPEN UP YOUR VIDEO EDITOR AND SWAP THE ORDER OR WHEN DONE WITH MATCH TELL THE RECORD "HEY COME OUT SECOND" AND IF ALL OPPORTUNITIES ARE SQUANDERED YOU CAN ASK ME TO HELP FUCK. I would complain about the clock but I'm aware of real life circumstances and sometimes you coulda just wing it. I think that about wraps it up for me. P.S Stop fucking dodging Junko

International Title Vid: The build for this feud has been very grounded in the OG ways of OCW. More written over videos, which usually I don’t mind. I think there’s some things missing when you don’t really capitalize off of videos but that is what it is. This vid definitely in my eyes “salvaged” the feud in a sense because we just haven’t seen all that much from all four of these guys. It just seems like 2 1v1s in a fatal four way match which I’m sure will lead to a lot of tension between Pugh & Rust since they’re both infamous traitors. I gotta be honest though, I really don’t wanna see like any of them as international champ. I like The Lobby and I wanna see them fight for the tag titles so if they breakup or betray each other that would make me sad. Nate is in a weird view for me, he’s been this absolute legend basically the entire time of OCW, right now he gives me 2022? John Cena vibes where he just can’t really get the job finished but gets super close so I don’t know if I’m really wanting to see an int reign from him as Nate only comes off as a world champ. Mugen has been on a really weird run. Dudes winning matches that people probably aren’t thinking he was gonna win (me included) but I just want more from him + the title scene in general. The video did what it needed to do and was produced very well I’m very torn on what the outcome for the four way is gonna be but hopefully the aftermath sorta itself in a good way. Samsin vs. Mad Dawg: These guys just beat the shit out of each other. Samsin has definitely found himself in his look / presentation. I have a feeling that regardless of what happens at Hard Target he will stay in the upper midcard whether in the tag division or vying for singles gold. Dawg has also started to find himself, I personally would like to see Dawg probably phase out from DNS as he doesn’t really need them anymore. Obviously we don’t get what we want but I can see these two being perpetual rivals for the foreseeable future especially since Samsin is going on his DNS Killer streak. Neither guy lost any momentum when it comes to the result so both should be proud on that. Slowly but surely they’re making the steps needed to both solidify themselves higher on the card. Bolek is a psychopath: Truthfully, I do not like what Bolek is doing. Originally I was trying to give it a chance, no pun intended but idk this just doesn’t hit right. This feels like regression for Bolek, he became international champion and feuded with Rust and looked like he was gonna do something with Kass. Idk if Kass being in the CCW feud stopped that or if it was just world building between the two but I just am not fond of going back to the well in this sense. We get it, you’re a vile dude and a threat to women but I wanna see you be a threat and vile to other people where you can get a payoff. Chance isn’t here, he’s the only one who in reality would come and save Bobbi so seeing all of this is just a big confusing situation for me. Maybe some baby face will pop up and try to save Bobbi instead of Chance or maybe Bolek will just keep her as his slave? Idk. Skadi’s Trial: Now this was fucking epic. At first I wasn’t overly sold on Skadi, her tron + look were nice and her moveset as well. She came off as a filler character, something to help bolster up the division but not much depth to her. This however changed that thought, this feels like the true beginning for Skadi and for a new baby face in the womens division that is sorely needed. The visualization and everything in this promo made me feel like I was there watching it all unfold as Skadi was battling this trial that Odin had set upon her. It also was nice that this had ZERO to do with in the ring, it gives me this feeling that no matter what Skadi doesn’t always need to win and she just needs to be courageous and make sure she stands her ground when the time comes. It really set a nice pace and was a good read. I can’t wait to see where it shakes out for Skadi in terms of feuding but very well done. Beat The Clock (All of them): I’m gonna do all of these because I just find it easier. Firstly, I hated every single guy that was going against the dudes in the CCW title match. We seen two of the challengers in the International 4-Way lose, and Rust lost very decisively for that matter. I was letdown by the production of no uniformity with the timers and having both Rust + Mugen coming out first. I understand shit can happen on a time crunch but every single dude knows a beat the clock challenge is all about the mystery of WHO is gonna be facing the person. Kass & Nate did it properly which is why that was my favorite out of the three, however Wrex definitely made it seem like he was trying to fucking MURDER to get his stipulation of choice. I also wasn’t overly keen on how Wrex won and that was really it, once again I get it shit happens and all that but I feel like this sort of challenge was probably let known ahead of time especially between the 3 guys. I’m also not overly in love that Wrex would choose a Splinterfest, I kinda? Get it but not really. I know we’re not gonna kick Kass out of the match even though that’s what I would think Wrex would want to do in some way. I’m sure the match itself will be good but idk just a bit odd for my taste. Also B17 losing to Mugen was super unexpected so I see him going into Hard Target with a vendetta. Flojo & Bae Backstage: I really wanna see Flojo do more. I love the character but I just feel blah with her. The ups and downs just break my heart but Bae is so fucking goofy. Clickbait + him are such meme characters that are silly in their own way. Stop interrupting someone’s cinnamon roll time you horny fuck. Gabriel & Dawg Collide (unfortunately for Gabriel): Obviously Mad Dawg was not happy losing to Samsin hehehe. Poor Gabriel just was trying to go to his car? And get something I imagine but Dawg just couldn’t handle that whistling. It was a fun video and Gabriel is definitely starting to become the breakout rookie of his class, he should be very proud of himself with that because the dude is applying himself and doing a really fucking good job at it. Underground Elite is still somewhat growing on me, I hate Eddie’s name, the unknown leader looks goofy as shit. But Gabriel? That’s the money man right there, the glass comment made me chuckle but very well done on the segment. Jordan Trance Backstage: With how this promo was written I would’ve liked to see this as a video. I think with the actions that were written it would’ve been nice to see literally and could’ve been executed in a way to make people laugh by Jordan just being this goofy dickhead, I’m not in love with the bare knuckle thing. I hope that’s just a meme and not gonna lead into their blowoff match like that because I can’t be fucked to watch a match that just would be inorganic on how to play it. I want more from Trance, the potential is there to go to the very top so I hope he capitalizes on it. The feud is a nice stepping stone for both guys regardless of result for their inevitable match up. Deborah / Emp Interview: Oddly enough I could’ve seen this segment happening earlier in the feud and then all the rampage laying hands on each other being what ended the feud leading us into Hard Target. I liked the interview and I thought it was a neat concept, I hate Monica and Stacy’s voices. They are the most blatant computery ai voices that just makes me mute them when it would cut back to them. I don’t really know how to feel about the end of this because I don’t really know if Deborah wins their match that it would be the end between Emp & Deborah. I don’t see Deborah winning an ambulance match and Emp staying away for awhile, maybe I’ll be surprised if that is the case but I just think this is only the beginning if Deborah retains (she absolutely will go Debbie!) kudos to them for also doing an ambulance match, i hope that with this we actually get an ending and not a cutscene, no shade but if this does happen to be the end of the greatest women’s world title reign I wanna sob and watch Deborah go out not have some sort of cutscene that diverts from it. I feel this will be violent and I doubt you can get blood on women even on pc? But somehow if they’re able to bleed then that’s absolutely the match where I wanna see them bleed. Junko vs. Belle: Definitely 1 of 2 MOTN contenders for sure. This was just an absolute battle between both of these women and I respect both of em for just taking it to one another. I definitely thought Belle was gonna squeeze it out but man what a surprise! Junko getting a win was a pleasant surprise and I’m happy for her. I’m curious to see where she’s gonna go as I don’t think she’s really done anything other than just be EMPs new lackey which can be good but I wanna see you feud on your own. Belle can go anywhere in the division, whether it’s Pride or World I see Belle fitting legit anywhere. She’s one of the few baby faces that are believable but same thing with Junko. I’d like to see just a bit more out of Belle whether it’s video or written. B17 Meet & Greet: I like Bingo touching on how there isn’t always such clear ways to do things. This promo was nice, I liked how he presented it but I feel like it was missing something. Something to actually provoke him and have him show signs of being angry and losing his cool a bit. It was a solid world building promo that touched on the feud so can’t complain. Quack Effect: Another Dragana video another lovely time. These videos are easily the most sports entertaining videos we have going in OCW right now. The fucking cat now being with Dragana is so hilarious, this is a HUGE mountain for Sue to climb. As much as Dragana in the segments comes off harmless she is absolutely one of the biggest threats in the division. She’s probably the biggest threat to Sue’s reign right now and I think win or lose this will be a good time for the Pride Championship. Sue can elevate herself by conquering a legend or Dragana can begin a run like no other. Really looking forward to their match at Hard Target. The Pivot vs. Underground Elite: This was tag team wrestling! While this game is absolute dog shit for tag matches these two teams made chicken shit into chicken salad. It was nice to see Eddie & Gabriel matching and looking like a proper team. The Pivot is one of the best examples of an organic team that grew together. This guys are absolutely my #1 to see them become tag champs. I want that rematch between them and Mass Effect yesterday. Really good match and the 2nd MOTN contender for me. Easily one of the top tag matches we’ve had this season. C-Note & JynX: I gotta admit, C-Note is doing the god damn thing. His baby face turn, or so I assume, has been really good. At first I didn’t buy into it / believe it but now I’m really all in with it so if that’s the direction he’s going into I want him to keep going cause it’s so good. But while this segment started off good it did not end good whatsoever. This feud has been extremely confusing for me on the side of JynX. I don’t know who the JynX character is, the Paul Harris feud he was this voodoo witch doctor that did all sorts of shit, but now he’s just… a thug in facepaint essentially. He broke into C-Notes house which I wasn’t a fan of but i kept waiting to see what would happen… now this segment? Ya man you lost me. I just don’t know the direction you’re trying to go for the character. I also didn’t understand the Prince Mamon double? Then it just ended. This was without the whole ingame hud that immediately took me out of the segment entirely by the end. Idk if you were wanting to look strong or what but at least for me it seriously missed the mark. I’m hoping their match can bring some sort of conclusion for them both but honestly I am worried for JynX if he does retain because outside of being champ I don’t know what he really does to make his character make sense. Valk On the Tonight Show: This is just a me thing and I get I’m being weird, but for some things I just don’t like irl shit always being tied into OCW. I’d have liked a more OCW universe type show just for the aesthetic, there’s ample journalists / people who could’ve been in this segment but that’s what ever. Wasn’t entirely in love with Valk sorta killing the kayfabe side of wrestling for the segment either. I know it’s ironic when I say this since my character has done it but I am extremely tired of men laying hands on women when it comes to DNS. It’s overplayed and something that SHOULD garner a huge reaction just makes me groan and not give a fuck. It’s good in moderation for shock value but when Perl had Valk get jumped, Bolek kidnapped Bobbi, now Bash is smashing her head on a desk? On something that would be on national tv? I just eh idk man it didn’t really hit right for me. Like I’m sure the match will be good but the build definitely missed a bit for me. Blaine is frustrated: Pretty straight forward. Blaine wants to be head of security and we should let the big woman because head of security. Tre on a mission: Pretty solid promo from Tre. Yet another thing that I personally would’ve liked to see be in video form. But it’s nice to see him have content on the show and continue building the feud with Jordan. Overall, this really didn’t feel like a go home show, I feel like the last Riot felt more like a go home than this. This show was still pretty decent but seeing no content from Cold Front, Mass Effect definitely stunk would’ve liked to see what they would’ve done to build more but alas. Also nothing from Victor Matt, I don’t need video all the time but one short replacement match doesn’t mean you immediately bought all the good credit back. Nothing from Deaver as well was rather disappointing. There’s a handful of people who have been real stagnant that could’ve benefitted by being on the show but oh well. Onto Hard Target.

Some things. - Interested to see what comes of the Valk/BASH interaction. Would be cool to see them have an actual match at Hard Target (as opposed to a Valmont beatdown video). - Cold Front vs. DNS was a fun watch, and quite chaotic! This felt like it could've been a PPV (not saying FLE) match. Cold Front with a ton of momentum heading into HT. - I really enjoyed the "No More Fairytales" video. I'm surprised this got dropped on a weekly show, I could've seen this being the promo package for HT. But I guess that means Shelly/Parca are cooking something even better. - Bolek stop being a creep. U nasti. Where the hell is Chance? This shit gross b. - Lady of the Hugging Dragon....Might steal that. Very much enjoying the Junko RPs.

EMP x Deborah Opener: I'm sure others have shared their opinions on this, but the main thing that stuck out to me about this segment was the attention to details and not really letting anything slip from one cut to another. I wasn't overly in love with EMP being bloody off jump, but i get it, they've been fighting all this time so wounds are likely to reopen and that's just me being weird. The crowd noise in the beginning all the way until they broke through the X-Tron I'd have preferred if we heard more crowd interaction since I'm assuming like real wrestling they'd have been watching this while it was happening. But the blood, the crashing through the X-Tron, altering the Turmoil arena to make sure it STAYS broken and fucked up were apart of many small things that really made my jimmies happy. I just know that was time consuming because of caw editing, arena editing, and other shit but the execution was really well done. This feud gives me a more brutal / physical CM Punk x Drew McIntyre vibe where both women just can't stand each other and they will just beat the shit out of one another until Hard Target. It's very evident by the work + who is involved that this is prolly gonna main event Hard Target with the IC stuff + OOC stuff mixed into it but this really was a fucking incredible opening segment that ANY World Championship feud should strive to have. Jordan Trance Is Suing Tre: Wasn't really in love with this tbh, this probably could've been a much better written promo. I do understand how it is nowadays with the expectation of wanting video content every week, but the handler involved in this video is a phenomenal writer so I would've liked a little bit more meat on the bone for a segment like this. It was a solid effort and I hope to see the evolution of Jordan Trance through video work but I also want to see what Tre is thinking / feeling in this time when Jordan is just being mega-cunt. ClickBae x Underground Elite: I did not like this promo at all from any type of character perspective. Maybe I'm being harsh, maybe I'm just an asshole but idk. This just did not hit for me at all, Clickbait is... a character. The cringy, content creator, womanizer?, incel? Type beat just misses the mark for me in the written format. The video content is silly and does get a chuckle out of me but I don't know this was eh, BAE as well just seems artificial and not like what I'd expect a "dirty white boy" but then again maybe he's that type of dirty white boy and it's not clicking for me. Eddie + Gabriel, rough man, very rough. I've been very vocal I cannot stand a luchador who is wearing a mask going by a government name. I fucking hate that, think it's one of the silliest / dumbest things and wish it would change. I love Gabriel, I love his look, I love what he does, but their promo / presence is off for me, I want them to be the babyfaces where no matter what happens, no matter how many losses, they just keep going and are constantly positive. This doesn't really ring off like that for me. It gives me tweener vibes of like oh we wanna be menacing but also not heel menacing, once again could just be a me thing but I'll let it breathe more before having a full judgment atm. Marisa x Stacy Backstage: Another incredible showing of the Ryverse, initially I hated the start of this segment because I am just so very tired of Marisa + Mac, I just want them both to be on their own paths and not even mentioning one another. Obviously the segment took a turn with the video stacy showed Marisa where on one hand I assume this will continue the Marisa / Nate saga but on the other hand I did like the creativity of it. I said it before and I'll say it again, I want Marisa to stop being a supporting character / role, the handler behind her can easily be the Women's World Champ if the opportunity is extended to her once Deborah + EMP is settled, and I understand that the women's division is quite lacking in terms of Main Event talent for feuds for Marisa but I just need her to become the main character again and remind people she's more than just some mans hot girlfriend/wife/fuck buddy, etc. I want nothing more than to see Marisa take over the women's division and make it hers but good golly PLEASE end the Nate stuff and tbh, fuck Mad Dawg as well shawty don't need no man. John's Hard Target Announcement: Kinda the same thing with the Jordan Trance segment, I just need more. It's okay to have shorter segments and get right to the chase but this was lacking in a few areas. Where is John's voice that he's used? Why did we just jump to a grainy photo of him with a couple walls of text and no pop / reaction from the crowd when he made this announcement? It's all about the small things when you do promos without a voice, shit even with a voice tbh. I'll just assume maybe this was done in a quick amount of time and it was just there so we could get something on the show without making it text but just like the Jordan segment, this probably could've been executed better in writing and then the people who truly read / indulge every facet of OCW would know what's going on and the posers would get exposed. SKADI vs. Christine: This was a pretty solid match start to finish, I really liked the polar opposite colorways & attires for both women. I'd like to see more Christine, I feel like she's probably held back in a few ways beyond her control (sorta) but still, we can world build and do RPs lemme see what this woman is all about. Also please change your tron it terrifies me and is scary, I also need more SKADI as well. I definitely thought she came shoeless to the ring in her ent but man her trons? FIRE. Match was probably about as even you could possibly want it as both women had their times of control and they would just basically trade back and forth, one and done for ole girl but really pleasant watch. BASH x Bolek: What has happened to the game I love? We used to have compliance paint and now we're savages again and using electric bracelets? This is just down right diabolical and I'm the bad guy for saying fuck DNS? Good lord they need to be stopped! When do the RICO charges get dropped on all of them because they're just a criminal enterprise, SOMEONE PLEASE! This loss to B17 has not sat well with BASH at all and this is just a reminder why you do not go after B17 because he just breaks your heart and ruins your dreams. DNS But In a Heist Movie: All I can see is the interaction between BASH and Bolek going down and Bolek just pockets the bracelet as BASH goes to sitdown as they prepare for this segment lmao. Omen's big ass is probably hunched up in the van just WAITING to get his hands on some guards but can't just because he's huge as fuck. This is just madness in word form that is hilarious, I feel like if this was a video it would've been like a Tom Cruise movie trailer, C-Note still teetering this line that I just don't understand to a certain degree, it seems like he's wanting to be more a good guy but then it's like does he really? JynX definitely got me with "Nah I came to converse with you about you being my partner" maybe it's because I'm high or what but that got a good chuckle, inevitably these two are going to clash again and I can respect not trying to do physical stuff all the time. We know they can throw down but I do enjoy seeing the madness they cause one another without needing to legitimately fight. The Macs Divorce: Ah yet another example of just how great the Ryverse is, while I want it to end they just give me something that keeps drawing me back each and every time. I loved this segment from top to bottom, very well put together and even though it wasn't voiced it still kept a good pace and had a lot of small details. This did give me some faith that this story is probably on the ice for now at the very least, dig it. Mad Dawg killed Marisa but I mean at this point she prolly just likes getting hit since she always gets in the way or is in the right place at the right time hehe. Iceman laying out Mad Dawg afterward was also solid, I am all in on the Tag Title run because Nate is just such a great fucking character. From looks, to promo, that man is MONEY, I'm curious to see where Dawg goes as well, the world is for the taking and I wanna see him elevated as well. Rope Break Segment: EMP is no stranger when it comes to getting her mugshot taken... I am curious to when exactly she'll serve actual time but that's besides the point. We need to make sure that there is no more spousal abuse from her, someone check in with JCS and get him some help! Deborah and EMPs inevitable clash does make me curious on WHAT they might actually do matchwise since I don't think we just end this in a standard one on one match. Give me blood + death, I'd take an exploding ring just saying. The Lobby Backstage: If Pugh or Rust get TWO STRAPS in 2024 / 2025 then by gawd this is for the real sickos. All about The Lobby fighting for the tag titles, definitely think that should've happened but I understand how all four guys involved with the International Title and just each other were bound to stay intertwined. Rust touching on how people are expecting either him or Pugh to turn on the other well... please, yes, Pugh skull the fuck out of Rust to win the international title and laugh to the bank. Or y'know, stay partners and become tag champs Valkyrie x Perl: Like the Ryverse, Valk never disappoints either when it comes to her segments. I love Perl's voice, I wanted to hear what that stipulation was though damnit! But seeing Valk bloody up Perl made it okay that we didn't hear what it was right away since hey we gotta tune in for the next show, the second meeting between these two will obviously have more weight for Valk when it happens so I'm curious to see if she can knock the mental gymnastics Perl has done with her or if it'll all be too much for our hero :(. Dragana Meets Megan Suzuki: SOMEONE GET DRAGO AN ANSWER! WHY DID WE END WITHOUT GIVING HIM AN ANSWER!? B17! YOU WILL RUE THE DAY YOU DO THAT TO DRAGO + DRAGANA! Holy shit did that make me giggle obnoxiously, that was so pleasant to go from Valk x Perl into Dragana meeting Megan, I hope this is the start to seeing Megan Suzuki more! The character looks awesome and I'd love to see her ball out more, the Dragana/Drago Anime Cinematic Universe is #1 brotha. Dragana perhaps setting her sights on Sue whether that be legally or in the ring is something I can't wait to see whichever route this ends up taking. Amart vs. Nate Mac I'm not done watching the match yet but FUCK SON THAT NECKBREAKER!? Last moment neckbreaker making Amart be exhausted and Mac roll out? Holy fuck that was amazing. Man that match in general was so goddamn good holy shit, incredible win for Mac and I'm digging Amart trying to be more of a good guy as well this is the shit I can get behind. Definitely MOTN for me that was just BALLING from start to finish, very good job guys golly. Kass x B17 Backstage: Why do we just allow Kass to come back into the fucking CCW Title scene with no outrage, THE BIG FRAWG did not die for this goddamnit. I expected more out of OCW but we have failed the BIG FRAWG, sad ribbit, however I expected B17 to shit the bed in the past but I hope to god that he + Wrex don't shit the bed and let Kass steal this away from them, genuinely if both of them somehow fuck it up and Kass walks out as CCW Champion they both deserve to be fired and given the full walk of shame. DO NOT LET KASS BECOME THE CCW CHAMPION. The Renaissance of the Shogun of Harlem: I fuck with this heavy, I feel like there is room for so much opportunity for Tre in the current OCW so to see him getting his shit straight and acknowledging maybe he was a little too lax these past couple of years is a real good thing. Lemme see the Shogun of Harlem just fucking THRASH Jordan Trance when he's able to lay his hands on him again without y'know being served.. ALSO ANYONE WHO IS SUING IN WRESTLING IS A BITCH! ClickBae vs. Underground Elite: Midmatch atm but need to pause and write where I'm at before I forget. On paper I definitely was really looking forward to this match, then the realization came back that it's the current game and tag matches on them usually are less than pleasing to watch. And so far it has been exactly that, Eddie why are you not wearing a shirt or even matching with your partner? I get you guys have a secret / unknown leader but idk it doesn't rock for me with them being apart of the entrance especially the teal mask / hat lol. The over-reliance on running as well is annoying to see constantly, the BAE spot doing it 3 times was cool but as we got deeper in the match my god we just are just running, running, and running. The pin break-up definitely stunk to see, but for my taste was disappointing, I get doing Irish whips is far more common to be breakered so tag moves are damn near nonexistent a lot of the time but this just seemed like a prolonged ass whooping. Maybe when both teams get more chemistry together they will flow better and not come off more like 2 1v1s Bolek fucking kidnaps Bobbi AGAIN?: Bolek, my man, what in the fuck do we think we are doing? Why Bobbi? What the fuck? I am disgusted to see Bobbi who is already a victim of this horse shit not being subjected to it AGAIN? BUT EVEN FUCKING WORSE THIS TIME? Bro... sometimes this company just makes me wanna throw up on how women cannot be safe anywhere, whether it's in the ring or it's in the backstage area or just anywhere! ICE Cold Contenders: While I love Mass Effect and what they do most the time, I wasn't huge on the battle royale, in my eyes I'd have just let them sit for a little bit, talk their shit and force the division to create a challenger without forcing an odd match to happen. Now I'm not huge on that but I am however starting to get into Nate Mac + Samsin as a team (i am not calling them the Icemen, please god make sure you have a cooler name) I hope for the division that they stay a team if they lose because the pairing of them is nice while they also even AFTER the Mass Effect match could still go to war and shit who knows maybe they find a few like minded friends? DNS v. Good Guys WarGames? Shit I'm not saying I'd hate it but depending on who is involved i'd hook that shit up to my veins. Nate x Mugen Backstage: Nate realizing he's about to get hoe'd again is a bit humorous, bro is having Lution flashbacks to when Kass came out and fucked him out of the world title. See this is why if Pugh smacks the shit out of Rust with a chair and steals the win from Nate I'd probably fall over laughing, Nate's gonna manhandle in the match and then boop, stolen from him. I would like to see some video stuff from the four but it is a reminder of how OCW used to primarily operate when a lot of stuff was primarily handled in the written media which is fine and does serve the feud. I really don't know what to expect out of the four-way especially if Mugen wins, it feels kinda like even though he is the champion he is a wildcard in the match. Underground Elite Gets a Gift: There is nothing better than a burger.

sooo many thoughts to share ♡ 🫧♡ 💌💋♡ don't get ur panties in a twist if u don't agree. all about having fun n sharing our vibe x 🍵🐸 deborah and emp. totally OBSESSED with these girls seriously, just been SO intense. these two women have been killin it for the longest. their attitudes are insane, and their outfits are 2 DIE 4. debbie hitting jay…. i mean, who does that? major power move but i guess it shows how serious she is about this whole thing. can’t wait to see how emp is gonna get her lick back. 🤭 i just wish they could find a way to keep the intensity without all the blood. probs the match i’m most looking forward to. perfect ending for deborah. poor valkyrie she's got some dirty sneaker out of the wood brittleboned running around town messing with her mental. can’t stand perl. like the wicked witch of the web is suuuuch a cool concept (within the geekism of it all) but i simply just do not connect. i guess some things are not for everyone. not saying she's not great. clearly what she does has necessity as it resonates with the people it's meant for. and honestly......the biggest part is her unseemliness. the language of her face isn't very honest. she has a very hateful, ugly, misanthropic facial language that just reminds me of racist public school teachers. i liked the idea of her before i saw what she looked like. she kinda looks like the count from sesame street in a terrible fashion. she needs an IV and a tan asap. totallyyy liked her way more how she first looked like in ‘23. i had such high hopes for valkyrie’s comeback. was awaiting this tiny, all-mighty force of nature that i last saw in 2019. unfortunately, it hasn't been quite what i expected, from that dns beta beatdown at the start from making herself look too damn weak, like….girl…..no need to over force the helpless babyface angle, you don’t really need to beg for sympathy, everyone is cheering u on regardless. probs it's just me being dramatic and still having her old self in my mind. i'm still getting used to her new vibe but it's like i'm watching a different person. anyway, i'm rooting for her too!! and i hope i can eventually vibe with her groove again. but for now, i hatehatehate her diner waitress look. ponytail included. marisa……ugh girl PLEASE stop doing these trashy degrading misogynistic uplifting male saviorist ass storylines. there's no way a woman can be so protective of good for nothing men. desperation n defeat are not a good look on you sis and it's sad. please realize that the game being played against you is bigger than whatever tired bs story you keep repeating over and over and over again. please stop trying to get entangled in men's business 24/7. ur anger and insistence of chasing men only leaves you being negative and unsatisfied. it’s like some 80's late welfare wife stereotype shit. maybe u can easily ''pop'' underdeveloped men foaming at the mouth in the front row because they just have enough brain cells to get through the day, but some of us are a little more delicate and need something more nuanced. so stop being a fucking hoe, abstain from sex & find out who u are first. and then, the universe will do it for you. and get back to fighting these girls or start chasing a title. it's getting stale and the division desperately needs some feminine substance n personality. even u can aim higher. lol whatever girlie best of luck. i think clickbae should get over their obsession with broke loose puccy and become a power couple. it would be way more monumental to see these two become an item. plot twist! it gets very tiring n boring to have these main events end like that but whatever, none of my business. making the title match a 3way more interesting good call tu amor? pero qué dice este chico 😭😭😂 not gonna freakin lie john's gear might be one the best men gear i’ve seen lately was really givinggggg. some of those who wear the same tired ass gear for 4 months shud take notes. tho i still can’t figure out how sheldon’s face is formed. there's something not quite right about that man. i wouldn't give the credit of calling him a mutant. his humanoid group emerged/crawled out of the caucasus cave system 15,000 years after the first caucasian homo-sapiens did. he's really a caveman. WOMEN DO NOT WANT YOU YOU VAGABOND not even the ran through no talented ones thats all xoxoxoxox 🩵

THE official OCW CURRENT LANDSCAPE LEX LUGER Tier List After an abundance of amounts of deliberation, the criteria for this tier list is the wrestler's overall total product. Due with that information as you will. S Tier (Living Legends): Nate Ortiz, Drago, Dragana, Pugh, Mugen, Kass, B17, Spider, Tibby A Tier (Certified G’s Bonafide Main Event-er) Parca, EMP, Quartz, Marisa, Maxx, Wrexx, Bash, John Carter, Tony Everett, Shelly T, Ashley Moore, Debbie Soto, Rust Cohle, H20 B Tier (Upper Midcard Monster): CNote**, Jynx**, Dev Flash, Ryvaughn, Sue-plex,** Iceman**, Coco, Bolek, C Tier (Midcard Solid Hand): Tre Golden, Luis Bishop**, Amart, Deaver, Eddie, Gabe, Texas, Omen, Misti, Hawk, Damian, Scotty X, Hifumi, Killa Kam, Belakor, Samsin**, Harper, Baker, Gooner, Christine, Jack Mo, Perl**, Paul Harris**, Junko**, Skadi**, Marcus, Claudio**, Stevie Jackson**, Cheryl Stixx**, Beatrix**, Shianne**, Clickbait, Flojo* D Tier (Fresh meat and needs more seasoning): Megan Suzuki, Jubei, Danny, Serena, Rachel, Goddrifter, Colon, Kaiya, Sakamoto, Dirty Cash, Rhode Island, Loretta, Mo Jae, Nova, Petr, Ike, Bobbie **Could go up a tier arguably. Had the most difficulty ranking to be honest. (Def open to discussion/debate about any wrestler actually) Sigh. I hate that I have to preface this lol, but this is how EYE view the OCW food chain currently. So don't take it too personal. If you do, OCW harder and change my opinion, Bakayaro. 😐 Have fun discussing! P.s. if I forgot anyone call me an idiot and tell me to add them.

Pugh & Emp: Off jump when I was watching I was nervous Pugh for whatever reason was gonna accept EMPs request. Thankfully he didn’t, because I probably would’ve lost my mind had he accepted. Also idk if it’s just me or maybe my phone speakers but at times EMPs voice sounds different and not always the same but may be just me. Janae Not So Goodbye: I really like the weight and continuity with this. Janae mentioning how she was originally thinking about training and then not being so into is was a very nice line. Siblings, partners, and many others we’ve seen ample characters join and then immediately become wrestlers. To see Janae not do that and kind of spite OCW for what it’s done to her brother was beautiful. While Dawg will be out for a bit I imagine when he comes back that babyface pop is gonna go fucking crazy. Kameyo Training: Pretty lighthearted and fun. Something you’d expect out of the Dragana verse and that style of video. Seeing the inevitable (I assume) Dragana v. Kameyo will be funny as both of them do not speak. So the anime stare down of their aura off would be cool to see especially with how Drago does his content. Also while I typically am not one to advocate for robots… you didn’t need to slam em after the hug. Bobbi Baddi is here: Bobbi wants to wrestle and be active. While she could be at home with her man and y’know manage other things she still has the itch to compete. Pretty solid standard babyface promo but I am a bit hesitant to invest much as the handler behind her is already a monster on all they do. But if this is the Avenue they wish to take her then hey as long as they’re happy we’re all happy. Paul Harris Trailer 1: Added weight into the newly changed Paul Harris. Pretty dope trailer that leaves you wanting more. Bayou Bubba Bruh: Drago isn’t “told stuff” because he actually forgot his email login awhile ago and knows the servers are held together by silly string and jays tears. So he just hopes nothing super crazy is ever sent to him because then he would still not know. The sister sigh walkoff is also just something every brother everywhere has dealt with ample times that was great. Paul Harris Explanation: Paul’s voice is just very very good. The subtitle text with the color overlay was very not good. Understand dipping the toe and trying something new but that did not personally land for me. Loved the crowd noise, did not love Paul not absorbing it and letting it soak for a minute. Maybe it was intentional and that he wasn’t gonna be disrespected but organically I feel with how loud the crowd was being he wouldn’t have been able to talk over them. Still a very solid establishing heel promo on where Paul’s mind is at. JynX & Harvey backstage: Some fucking heat getting thrown around in this segment. At first I was kinda teetering in and out but then it really picked up. Something I’d like to see is slight adjustments to the JynX voice. His pacing on how he talks is a bit too fast and non human like for my personal taste. Harvey had very nice pacing and overall sound so if JynX can tweak it a bit to come off more human in how fast he’s talking (just use dashes a bit more) then I think his voice can be ironed out better. Sarah Moore backstage: This sorta felt incomplete in a way. I really was digging Sarah leaning into the social media aspect and I feel there’s some room for her to play around with on that but it wasn’t maximized that well in this segment. It is nice though to see her more and more becoming more of a prominent fixture in the women’s division. Rachel x Marisa: Name your segments more impactful! Draw me in to wanna watch like how actual wrestling YouTube’s do it! Pretty interesting segment nonetheless. I’m less than enthusiastic about Sue being the challenger (I assume) as we last saw her being an absolute scum bucket. I’d be more open toward it with a feud or two before going after Marisa but maybe with the build time they have it can be convincing enough. I do like Marisa slowly but surely adding more women around her as she’s trying to get even more of an ironclad grip on the women’s world title. Hoping Rachel is able to stay around & consistent even after the Marisa saga is over. Dragana & Junk… NOPE: That fucking end was hilarious. Junko knowing she isn’t wanting that smoke right now was just so money. NOPE and then climbing the ladder made me start cackling. Maybe Dragana will figure her opponent out eventually. Mirrors ft Tre Golden: Stunning segment and an interesting use of alpha mask clips. That Tre promo is something I want & need from him all the time moving forward. THAT’S a babyface I can get behind THAT is a man I’m willing to cheer for and buy his merch THAT is a man on a fucking mission ready to get back to the top. The Paul feud is just starting and the heat these two are gonna bring is gonna be straight cash money. Clark Effect ft Loretta: Honestly, when Elliot came back and essentially gifted Loretta to Sheldon’s group I was a bit bummed out. I wanted Elliot and not Loretta, however I was open to see what Loretta could do. This has left me a bit disappointed. I know the handler behind d Loretta is more than capable but I do wish the energy was applied to the character itself. There’s a lot of things about her that make me wonder why exactly she’s associated with Sheldon and what her grander purpose is. This segment was very nice and her voice is pretty sound. I’d like to see this as the stepping stone for her being featured more on the shows as it’s another good women’s character that could flourish. Omen catches a beating: JynX and Harvey put the fucking beating of god onto omen. I better not see dude for at least 13 business days with all those bat shots + the car door getting slammed on him. Hopefully dns pays hazard pay. Underground Elite swears revenge: This shit smelled like something fishy is up and I don’t like it. I’m pretty sure it’s just Deaver but still, my beloved Gabe needs to be careful around him. And Eddie? Well Eddie will be able to probably fend for himself. But the vibes I got felt… off. Like something is brewing, stirring in the background just waiting to pop off. C-Note throws it dow : C-Note constantly reminding folks why he is and can be one of the top dogs in OCW. Dude has it on the mic and he has it in the ring. The fact he’s taking these steps and now has his eyes set on Maxx? Awe fuck yeah. I rock with that HEAVY. This is a big moment for him seeing as Maxx is a former world champ and a win over him? Huge momentum at stake when that eventually happens. John Reflects on Cide: John has so much potential to be this amazing babyface and singles act in OCW. I’m really hoping he capitalizes on it which at first he didn’t but now with his vision reset and he has to start over I am curious to see where he goes and how he handles the new pressure. Seeing him and Devon get intertwined is amazing. Goat Academy vs. Goat Support System, former tag champ vs. former tag champ, both standout rookies and now? Standout wrestlers who are at the cusp of their greatness. Draganas Quest 3: The fucking boss music for Deborah was fantastic. Dragana not wanting anything to do with Debbie is such an interesting touch that is just so cool. Dream match bound to happen one of these days. What’s next for Beatrixx: God I love you Beatrixx. Just don’t tell Debbie and we’re all good. Beatrixx is just so interesting to me and now that she’s free from Flojo is all the more interesting on where she goes from here. The fact she’s eyeing Serena is another curious thing to me as where does this go? How does Shianne react toward that? How does Serena react? When will we find out! God I love you Beatrixx! A Plea to Deborah: Deborah is the fucking GWOAT. Deborah is the fucking GWOAT. We love Deborah, then, now, always, FOREVER. DEBORAH IS THE GWOAT LET IT BE KNOWN PEOPLE! Rhode Island: Why is Maxx Edwards advertising for Rhode Island? Why are we lying about Rhode Island? What ultra rich propaganda are we pushing? Dragana Quest 4: Why’d you walk away!? Who was it in the hoodie?! Why didn’t you wait for them to turn around?! WHY DIDN’T YOU LET US SEE HER!!! Mo Jae & Gonzalo: I feel like this two are about to go on a best of 12 series which ends up with them being an impromptu tag team. Then the bromance will start there to the inevitable crazy underdog tag title run. But I also think it’s just delirium seeping into what I’m typing in all actuality. Ode to Emp: Pretty baller music video / edit. The recap of Emp is something any new viewer who didn’t know about her can easily get recapped with no problem whatsoever. Southern Dirty Cash is here: I wanna see SDC more in actual competition. I feel like these two are gonna be such a baller addition to the tag division. When they start getting rolling I’m gonna get all giddy because tag team wrestling is the goddamn best. Nate responds to JynX: Nate’s biggest test to date during this international title run and one of JynX’s hardest tests as well. A clash between two guys who seemingly are invincible. Can the clock keep ticking on the favor of Nate? Or does JynX put down another huge name? The real Cheryl Stixx: Easily promo of the night and my second favorite segment of the show. This was incredible and while it was a bit on the lengthier side for just a more traditional promo in our realm it was awesome. The intimacy and the raw emotion from Cheryl with the guard no longer up was excellent. While I was already a huge fan of Cheryl this stoked my interest in her even more and made me an even bigger fan. Quartz is down but not out: This end of the show segment kind of had me torn. The production errors, mishaps, overlooks or whichever word you wanna use definitely took me out. Rust Cohle coming out to make the save for Quartz and not a single crowd reaction? CQC is back and the crowd wouldn’t go wild for that? Crowd noise is such a vital thing when telling a more intimate story for the segments we make and at times they absolutely can make or break a segment. While there were some small spelling mishaps the crowd noise was definitely the big thing for me at the very least. The impact hit but not as much as I feel it could have. Seeing Rust and Quartz united again is such a wild fucking visual and to see what they do moving forward against Emp and the sensations will be fun. Didn’t really feel like reviewing the matches as I wanted to prioritize the segments. Maybe I’ll do the matches & the written content a different night.

SPOILERS BELOW Baker’s Turmoil 333 Match Ratings A-Mart vs Jynx (NA Title) **** The opening reversal sequence made me smile as I kind of figured it would be whoever did the most damage off the bat and A-Mart did as best as he could and he started to really make a comeback towards the middle of the match. The reversal of the sig was huge and started to turn the tide for A-Mart as he was battling back. Right when you thought it was over. BANG. A big kick out for A-Mart. And guess what….. A-MART F**KING DID IT! HOLY CRAP! END OF A RUN! A HELL OF A COMEBACK FOR A-MART. Beautiful fellas. Junko vs Megan ** For what it was it was entertaining. Megan looked good but had a small hiccup that I feel took away from the match for myself so notes are small here. Belakor vs RyVaughn *** I enjoy RyVaughn’s look. Belakor trying to fly made me laugh. This was a fun big beefy match. Ryvaughn looked great in this match and I hope he sticks around cause I think with time and a good character he could solidify himself well. (Reminder that I don’t read as much as I should so I’m not sure what has been written if any.) The ending was perfect. This was a fun ass match. I can’t be mad at all about that. Great match fellas. Iceman vs Mistico **.5 Iceman came to assert himself and I’m here for it! DIGIT! Match was fun and the interruption from DB was very very cool to see! Nothing crazy to note. B2O vs DNS Thank you. I’m very happy to be back and enjoying OCW like I did when I was 17/18 and using it as an escape. I love this family we have. You’ll hear that alot while I’m around. ❤️ (Sorry to Rayzah for the use of his beautiful theme.)

The following was broadcast on Wednesday, May 7th, 2025. The feed lights up with a bumper of WBAL-TV, the local Baltimore news station. Two anchors, a middle aged woman with tanned skin and a beige suit jacket and an older man with a receding gray hairline and a blue suit to accompany it, are seated at a table with several television screens behind them. Anchor: I’m Beth Watson, joining me is Don Wilson here for WBAL-TV. Don: The world-renowned professional wrestling organization OCW is hosting its annual freemium live event Certified Greatness here in Baltimore! Beth: And joining us this morning is OCW’s very own Pride Champion, Dragana Cesar. The camera pans out to reveal Dragana Cesar seated next to Don with the Pride Championship hoisted on her shoulder, wearing a red blazer with a black shirt underneath. Beth: Miss Cesar, how are you doing? Dragana types on her phone. Speaker: Wonderful, I hope you are all well. It is a beautiful day in Baltimore. Beth: For those who don’t know, Miss Cesar here does not speak, so she will use text-to-speech to communicate with us. Dragana nods and smiles. Beth: You are the head instructor of The Cesar Dojo, a now world-renowned school. Have you thought about expanding out of New York and into Baltimore? Regina Tacet lets out a nervous laughter as she types into her phone. Speaker: I would love to, but I am very busy teaching my students back home and competing. Perhaps one day when I am no longer wrestling. In the meantime, online classes are available for all to enjoy. Don: Now Dragana, you are set to defend that Pride Championship this Saturday against Lotus FloJo and Baltimore’s very own Beatrixx. What’s your thought process heading into this match? Dragana thinks for a moment, taking a breath before she types again on her phone. Speaker: The odds are certainly against me. Miss FloJo has been a thorn in our side for several weeks. The last time I faced her was Ladies Night years ago for the World Women’s Championship. I am sure she is raring for another opportunity at me. Miss Beatrixx may be new to OCW, but she is no stranger to our sport. She also has the home field advantage and the crowd will certainly be on her side. With two other competitors in the match, I will have to keep my wits about me. Beth: You’ve been holding that Pride Championship for a while, and as I understand it, you are currently the longest reigning Pride Champion in its fledgling history. Don: Not only that, but it’s also the longest you or your brother have been a champion for. How does that make you feel? Dragana moves her head from side to side to contemplate her response before proceeding. Speaker: It is an honor to be a part of this championship’s legacy. After defeating Sue Plex, I have made sure that this gold is defended with honor. It also signifies an opportunity for anyone: whether you are a new face on the roster or you are a veteran who feels they have been overlooked, this championship is a chance to become something greater. I would imagine my brother is quite happy for me. Beth: Speaking of your brother, as a surprise, we have him on the line with us right now! Can you hear us Drago? Dragana’s face turns paler than pale, her eyes widening. The feed shows a photo of Drago wearing his trademark shades with a cheesy smile on his face, the text below him reading, “COO of OCW”. Drago: Good morning! Yes, I’m hear you. Don: Thanks for taking the time to talk to us today, we hear you have a message for your sister! Drago: Yes, I’m want to congratulate her for her success! Hope she continue it at Certified Greatness. Drago: But uh…is not true, right? That she champion longer than me? Don: It is! Your North American Championship reign ended at 185 days, Dragana’s Pride Championship reign will exceed that come the FLE. An awkward silence hits the room. The Pride Champion covers her face with her hands. She knows what’s about to happen next. Drago: We still live right? Beth: Indeed we are! Drago: … Drago: AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH- The phone feed abruptly cuts off. Dragana can barely contain her laughter as the news anchors look at each other confused. Regina Tacet buries her face in the desk out of embarrassment. Beth: Oh, some technical difficulties there… Don: That’s all the time we have for now, we want to thank Dragana for joining us! Beth: Tune in to Certified Greatness this Saturday for can’t miss action! Don: After the break, is the truth out there? Alien sightings in the heart of New York as a “Manifestation” wanders the streets. More at noon. Dragana waves at the camera, her face still buried in the desk.

Darkness. Then red strobes begin to pulse slowly, revealing the silhouette of a lone figure sitting backward on a steel chair in the center of the ring. The arena is empty. Silent. He’s wearing a cut-off black tee, red-and-black camo pants, and scuffed red Jordans. A bandana tied around his forehead holds back long, black, sweat-damp hair. His arms are sleeved in faded, chaotic tattoos—ink that tells stories he doesn’t. Dax Lee: You don’t know me. Dax Lee: You’ve never seen me headline a pay-per-view. Dax Lee: Never bought a shirt with my name on it. Dax Lee: Never heard the crowd scream when my music hits. Dax Lee: That’s fine. Dax Lee: Because I didn’t come here to be seen. Dax Lee: I came here because for most of my life… no one looked. He leans forward, elbows on his knees. The mic hangs from his hand like a weight. Dax Lee: All I ever heard was “can’t.” Dax Lee: Can’t make it out of where you came from. Dax Lee: Can’t wrestle like those guys. Dax Lee: Can’t hang with the veterans. Dax Lee: Can’t outwork the system. Dax Lee: Can’t break into this company. Dax Lee: OCW is supposed to be the pinnacle, right? The apex. The place the best claw their way to eventually… And when I got here, before I even stepped through the curtain, I heard it again: Dax Lee: “Hall of Fame? Yeah, right. Not you.” He laughs—but it’s dry, bitter. Not a punchline. A scar. Dax Lee: But here’s what they didn’t see— In another life, I was on top. I held multiple championships at the same time… Dax Lee: Tapped out the man who raised me with fists, not love. Dax Lee: Broke records. Broke people. Broke myself… And none of it changed anything. He finally stands. The chair scrapes as it falls backward behind him. Dax Lee: I’m not inspired by doubt. I’m not fueled by it. Doubt didn’t motivate me—it hardened me. Dax Lee: Because the truth is, the world’s not out here trying to lift you up. It’s waiting. Just waiting for you to fall… so it can laugh. So it can remind you where you belong. Dax Lee: And right now? That’s all I see in this place. Dax Lee: Champions who’ve gotten too comfortable on their thrones. Fans too quick to write off the new name. A locker room full of eyes that say, “He won’t last.” Dax Lee: Keep watching… Because I’ve already outlived the narrative once before. Dax Lee: And I didn’t come to OCW to be loved. I came to make everyone regret overlooking me in the first place. Dax Lee: The spotlight? It doesn’t scare me. Because I’ve lived in the dark long enough to know how to make it mine. He drops the mic at his feet. The red light snaps off. Blackout.

Night has settled like ash over the city. The camera opens in silence — save for the low hum of distant traffic and the hum of arena lights echoing against concrete. We see a long shot of the OCW Arena’s loading dock. Trucks have come and gone. Superstars are already inside. But off to the side, nearly swallowed by shadow, a man stands beneath a flickering streetlamp — hood up, back to the camera, watching the building like a soldier eyeing a fortress. He’s not supposed to be here. He’s not on the card. He’s not in the locker room. He’s just watching. Waiting. Rayzah turns slowly, hands buried in the pockets of a cracked leather jacket. The hood drops. Just a face marked by survival — eyes heavy, jawline tight, every inch of him cut from the streets. A small, faded Anarchy patch is pinned to his jacket — the only color in a silhouette of shadows. He looks up toward the lights. Then finally, he speaks — low and calm, like gravel under boots. Rayzah: Funny thing about doors. Some get held open for you. Some get locked. And some... some you kick down just to remind them you’re still breathing. He takes a few steps forward, bootsteps echoing off cracked pavement. A gust of wind tosses grit across the asphalt. He doesn’t flinch. Rayzah: I wasn’t invited here. I didn’t get the call. But I’ve been watching. Watching names go up in lights while men like me are left in the dark. That’s fine. He gestures behind him to the arena. Rayzah: Because places like that — they love crowns. They love polished teeth and pre-packaged gods. But I don’t wear a crown. I wear scars. And this... He taps the Anarchy patch once — not for flash, just to make the point. Rayzah: This is the only name that’s ever meant anything to me. Rayzah: This patch? It’s not a brand. It’s a tombstone. For the ones who didn’t make it out. The ones who bled beside me in Riot Pro Wrestling and got buried before they ever had a shot. I wear it so I don’t forget them. And so none of you can ignore me. He looks down at his hands, flexing them once — scarred knuckles, veins rising like coiled wires beneath the skin. Rayzah: I come from a city where they called us statistics. Where dreams get buried long before the bodies. Where they taught us that if you want something... you don’t ask. You take. He turns fully to the camera now. Calm. Clear. No heat. Just certainty. Rayzah: So I’ll wait. And when that door opens — even a crack — I’ll walk through like I belong. And when they try to shut it again? That’s when they meet Capital Punishment. That’s when they feel the Fall of the Flame. And when the time’s right... I’ll burn their name into the canvas with the Chaos Theory. He lifts his hood again — shadow reclaiming his face. One last look at the arena lights. He turns. Walks off into the night. Voice trailing behind him like smoke. Rayzah: Chaos is the cradle of revolution. And I’m done waiting for permission. Fade to black.

BREAKING NEWS – Underground Elite Blame ColdFront for Recent Loss By WhereCulture Contrary to our previous false reports, Speaking on Wrestling Obsessive Radio, Gabe Seltzer said that multiple sources have confirmed that, the two teams are now in a confrontation after the events of the last Riot episode: “Tensions are rising in the tag team division after the Underground Elite, the reigning tag team champions, expressed frustration with ColdFront, a fellow top team in the promotion. The issue seems to stem from an incident two weeks ago, during a match against the Executive Order where the Underground Elite suffered a surprising defeat.” “While ColdFront wasn’t directly responsible for the loss, the Underground Elite believe that their rivals’ actions earlier in the match played a significant role in the unexpected outcome. According to sources close to the champions, Samsin Simins’ presence and timing in the match distracted the Underground Elite at a crucial moment, leading them to lose focus and ultimately the match.” “This loss has clearly left a bitter taste in the mouths of the Underground Elite, and they’ve made no secret of their feelings. In fact, sources say the champions have refused to share any space with ColdFront since the incident. Last week, the two teams were scheduled to appear at a same segment, but the Underground Elite reportedly chose not to attend when they found out ColdFront would be present. This avoidance has only added fuel to the fire, with many wondering if the tension between the two teams will soon boil over.” “While both teams have been popular with fans, the Underground Elite’s frustration with ColdFront seems to be growing. This week, the two teams are set to meet face-to-face on Riot, and with the level of animosity between them at an all-time high, things could easily escalate into chaos. Fans are on edge, knowing that this confrontation could very well turn physical before the night is over.” - said by Gabe Seltzer Stay tuned for more updates as this story continues to develop!

The camera fades backstage after a brutal Extreme Rules match. stumbles through the curtain, clutching his ribs, his face bloodied and bruised from the war he just went through. Sweat pours off him, mixing with the smears of dirt and dried blood on his skin. Trainers and crew try to approach, but he waves them off, gritting his teeth through the pain. He keeps walking—until he sees someone standing in the hallway: The Last Blacksmith, arms folded, silently watching. Jacob slows, then stops. Jacob Hawk (through gritted teeth): You just gonna stare… or say something? The Last Blacksmith (calmly): You lost. Jacob Hawk (half-smiling despite the pain): Thanks for the reminder. The Last Blacksmith: You fought recklessly. You fought with anger… Jacob Hawk: Yeah, well... that's kinda the point of Extreme Rules, right? I gave that bastard hell. The Last Blacksmith (tilting his head): “You fought recklessly, you fought with anger…" You know, I would have liked to say that, but the truth? The truth is that you fought like a trained monkey, with the sole purpose of trying out absurd moves to get the crowd to cheer you on. Jacob Hawk (snaps slightly): What do you want me to say, huh?! That I lost? That I wasn’t good enough? I know that already! You think I don’t hear the crowd? The Last Blacksmith (pauses, then steps closer): You see.. again … “the crowd”.. what is an obsession for you? When you step into the ring, your only goal should be to finish your opponent. Not keep him alive. Finish him, as soon as you have the chance. Instead... you played with him, got screwed by DNS and well, you went ass down my friend. So to answer your question…what you need to say… is nothing. What you need to do… is learn. Pain is a teacher, kid. And tonight, you got schooled. Jacob Hawk (angry but listening): So what, are you giving out advice now? Thought you were done with all this. The Last Blacksmith: I am done. You are right. Good luck with everything… Jacob Hawk: Is that what you became? A coward? After everything you have been through? I have those eyes that you no longer have. I have that desire to burn the world and make my name legendary. I have all that desire and passion that you have lost. And even if you don't see it, and you think I'm a trained monkey, I will prove it. Jacob starts to leave but Blacksmith's voice stops him The Last Blacksmith : Next Monday. 636 Broadway, h.8:00. Don’t be late. Jacob looks at Blacksmith in confusion The Last Blacksmith : The ring is not the best, but it will be enough. Show me if what you say is true… Blacksmith leaves and the scene fades

At the Cesar Dojo, Dragana Cesar is seated at the couch across from the television, bundled up in a blanket right next to Bubba. The giant lion yawns and leans his head against his friend’s shoulder. A gentle knock can be heard at the front door; Dragana carefully unwraps the blanket around her and walks toward the door. She slowly opens the door and peeks her head out. Dragana: Oh! She opens the door to reveal the ever mysterious Clickbait, sliding into the Dojo with the grace of a swan. They strike a pose. Clickbait: What’s going on, it’s yaboi! Regina Tacet appears to be enamored with Clickbait’s theatrics. Clickbait: Just wanted to stop by to see how ya doin’. Bubba leaps from the couch and sniffs Clickbait to investigate them. Clickbait: Holy shi- Uh, good boy? The big cat uses his ol’ olfactory bulbs for a minute, circling around the influencer until he perks up. He turns to Dragana and flails his tiny paws around excitedly, as if to tell Dragana something important. The Silent Queen gets on a knee and nods to Bubba. Dragana: Mmm. The Pride Champion stands up and pulls her phone out from her pocket. Clickbait nervously looks around. Speaker: You helped me at the Anniversary show after Junko attacked me. Why? Clickbait: Well, you know, cause I, uh… Dragana tilts her head, patiently awaiting an answer. Clickbait: Because I, uh….care about you. Dragana swoons, her face turning a shade of red. She pulls Click in and gives them a big hug, lifting them off the floor. She puts them down and types on her phone. Speaker: Would you like to come with me to the theater tonight? There is a play I have been wanting to see for quite some time. Clickbait: Yaboi is down for anything! Dragana claps excitedly and sprints off-screen. Bubba stands on his hind legs and stares at Click. He lets out a single grunt. Clickbait: I know, I know. The lion hops back up on the couch and rolls onto his side. The clicking of heels can be heard as Dragana walks back in, wearing a white polka dot dress with a beige blazer. She takes Click by the hand and laughs as they leave the Dojo. Bubba looks on while swinging his tail back and forth.

Side bar I need to stop putting shows in "CARDS" sections christ its getting worse. Any way some random not so random thoughts on Ambition since we are yapping about it on discord for posterity! Piligram As a side bar I appreciate written content on Ambition. A threat to Petie from the Temple of Omen. Which leads into the next match. Simple Pro Wres more less. Steven Motherfucking Jackson - First things for whatever reason its Stephen Jackson on youtube I guess ill have to fix that. So I don't remember who said it I think it was SCSA but Wrestling is who you are dialed to 11. This very much feels like that and in a Sea of "I am rich and wealthy" on the roster from Rookies like Victor Matt to Champions like El Parca an "Everyman" is incredibly refreshing. I enjoyed the promo it didn't feel forced which is when content can be at its worst. As I said my only gripe is all that fucking cussing. Like you see me on stream yelling at ppl when they get excessive yet this motherfucker is Fucking this, motherfucker that, shut up YOU'RE A FUCKING ROOKIE, B! And yes I can the the irony of ME saying tone it down. I try my best on comms to not to swear yall really don't want 2006 CZW JCS Comms. I've heard y'all gasp at some of the shit Ive said so cut it out! Make your profanity important. Cody Hagen vs Gabriel Vincent I'm not going to say I am surprised because we need to stop acting like people can't improve just cuz you don't vibe with them. Pretty cool match I think there was 1 moon walk so don't do that. Solid back and forth with Gabe trying to cut down the RED WOOD that is Corey Hagen! If I had one complaint Gabe kept recycling moves, like LONGEST MOVE IN PRO WRESTLING 3x. You're a rookie so its fine you learn and get comfortable with your moveset over time. Fun match didnt hate. That's not Deaver- So yea I got Pilgrim and Boss Deaver confused. To me they look similar him hanging out at ringside is very much on par with the prior RP earlier in the show ( Which I didnt read till after the show was posted because All I do is link the youtubes and upload the vids so great job on that. What I won't say great job is Apparently Cody ISN'T in DNS but in "Temple of Omen" This is weird to me. On the surface level who the fuck is Omen to have some higher power like gimmick while he is a heavy in DNS. Just have cody in DNS like nWo. He's in by association. This Side group within a group is why ppl say it's too big. But thats just me. Pugh with the News The Who, The What The Where The Why. Pro Wrestling 101 That's Not JAE! Solid video, nice building of char very pro wrestling. My only real complaint is some of the footage used. But even then its super mild. I'm thinking the heavy set dude in black with the mustache is Mo Jae but it probably isn't (it should be). My only REALLY REAL complaint is fuck tiktok AI voice. I'm so fucking sick of hearing it I usually will swipe to another video or close the youtube who uses it. Again thats not on the producer of video that just how I feel it fucking stinks and I hate it. But good job on the presentation and package. Curious to see the char in action we really don't have stuff like that atm. I mean Kass Kicks and ppl kick but no one does Taekwondo ill probably pop huge when someone gets fucking round housed ko'd. Junko vs Flojo Super fun match to watch very competitive. I'm a Junkie and watching junko go from EASY W to being able to hang with everyone is always delightful. Match had a lot of hi octane action A LOT OF BRIDGES. My one caveat was when 1st Rolling flo was hit and 1 kick out Flojo went hard in the paint on the outside (nothing wrong with that just kind of odd over and over) It almost led to a count out or close to it but flojo broke the count (like a face genuinely would) again super fun match. Just Perly Tings Perls Back and pissed at Monica for asking stupid questions. I love Monica being used now, Perl claims revenge will occur and her nose is broke. If this means Perl with a face shield I will pop huge! Bolek vs Werner Probably my standout match of the night between this and the Main Event cant really decide fully yet. Match had a lot of good back and forth and both people know there characters well. Bolek is a dipshit but he's improved his movements, his moveset and his in ring acumen. He very much plays the "Shit Head Heel" to a Tee reminds me of less botchy early Randy Orton or in OCW terms 2009 Leonheart (minus being as good as leon was in his prime) Both men got busted open the hardway and the finished was 1000% pro wrestling super fucking fun match to watch. Main Event - Rory vs Claudio This feud started on Ambition (I'm 90% sure it did) so it's gonna end on Ambition. The match itself was very hard hitting and back and forth basically at its essence to very big meaty mean bumping meat. Claudio returned to full Claudio form from 2022 or 2021 I can't remember as if he has learned nothing. But if all you know is how to be a bad person stick to what you are good at. The Stink Face was mad out of pocket (little did I know it would get far far worse). This kind of reminded me of a prison fight IDK why lmao. Either way between this and the Bolek vs Werner not sure which takes it for me from a match standpoint. Well done. Post Match - As I said match was great but the afterbirth. There is A LOT to unpack and I will try my best. On one hand I understand some of what went down. I don't feel as strongly as some but I often continually say "Less is more". We can start with the "Stain/Crash" I understand the intent, but I don't think anyone in VP or Twitch chat understood what was happening with the ring which caused a lot of confusion. We could have ended there but then it continued. Oddly enough while nasty as fuck I chortled at the jock strap thing I think if it had ended after that it would be what it was but then it kind of just kept going and going and going. I understand the idea is "you don't mess with claudio, do you see what happens larry do you see what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass" This reminds me of the Cinderblock thing from a few years ago. It just kind of feels excessive for the sake of being excessive. Like best example I could give would be when heather fell through the stage if EMP had lept from top of the tron through the fucking hole I woulda felt that same "ok this is excessive". I think the desired result could have been accomplished by just: Remove the piece of canvas to expose the wood (the wrex special) Hit the spot "giggidy" Blood on the exposed Wood where impact happend Then while still in ring do that nasty spot Gloat on stage while rory is stretchered out. It just felt very long while I will not use it as a unit of measurement IE a Valmont It was still long but no where near that long. That being said the other part I am kind of confused about is Rory is basically a new char. So getting written off this early is kind of weird? Is he getting written off? Am I wrong in thinking this is writing off a char because it felt very definitive to thoroughly humiliate and decimate. But then again during the Emp x Deb there was orbital damage then return 2 weeks later then more orbital damage to other. So it's probably not the end for Rory. IDK those are my thoughts I'll end with if anyone ever needs a set of eyes for a segment and they don't have a weak stomach feel free to hit me up I will let you know asap if its good shit or needs improvement. That being said I love seeing all the RP's for ambition. Very Powerful Hour. See ya Friday

I want to thank everyone who participated, fun event. Thanks for keeping OCWFED ELITE.

Fun show not as intense as the last couple. Loves boss man's commentary more than usual tonight Bravo. I don't like to FPR harp too much so I'll let y'all do that lol Oi Deaver! We are suppose to be babyface-ing harder brother! Brother, what's that brother?! Lol All these make-shift tag teams are being very creative (I hate make shift tags IRL but it works in OCW) Good quick improvements JynXy! I love Mass Effect. Dev was entertaining af tonight. Click-kun, I'm sorry (not really) Court scene was a nice change of pace Primero/Shelly/Nova programming is cooking. Okay I'm done.

After a long year for this superstar, He has finally made enough time to return to the ring. Former Rookie, Victor Matt is making his way back. After being caught up in some business scandals which he was found not guilty of. Victor Matt is training for a return to the ring. Being cleared to compete after many months of thinking and plotting. Victor Matt had only a few words to say. "The Bear is in the right mindset and will be coming to the Ring to Rule it." quoted from interview from Victor Matt. Full Interview will be released in a few days. Thanks for turning in to The Business Bomb Newscast.

It's a review, like it, don't, enjoy it, make use of it, get butt hurt over it. We open with Bash and his minions coming out having done the old 90's fake face entrance swerve. Good, Bon Jovi is dog shit as an entrance theme. Bash is here to save us from the Matrix, or give us a new sickness. Well, Bingo is here and he's driving like a mad man. Not going to lie, I really hate this "The Daddy" thing, why is he "The Daddy?" Is it because the handler is a dad? Cos there's not been any reasoning as to why Bingo is a Daddy, from what I can recall... Anyway, he smashes his way through DNS, then my ears bleed again because of that theme. I really liked the little look to the camera from B17 before he stripped the table down, if it was deliberate, awesome, if not... Happy accidents. Bash escapes ultimate retribution, fat dick. Next up we have a menagerie akin to what happens when you're force to do a group project at school and the teacher picks your team mates for you. I'm not sure who phoned them to say they're doing a good job, but they are, it's nice to see a new face in the tag division. I don't think PWS being part of this makes much sense, but I guess it's something new to get his teeth into. Petie makes great use of Reesisms. Texas Tough Love usually means beating the shit out of someone though, don't think you want to do that to poor Gabriel. 8 bit montage got a pop from me. Again, maybe a happy accident but Gabriel basically levelled up via I hate entrances without or minimal crowd noise, I feel like Perl is played too similarly to Bash, it was a conversation I had with Rust long ago. Bog standard match, it felt at times that Kira didn't know how to defend herself in some situations. Promo at the end with the voice over was a good touch. A warning for Ashley Blaine, that included a spelling mistake. Then the cool slow motion snow walk ends before the text ends, which I think was a creative choice... And despite the prior tone, I liked it. BAE promo up next, he takes all his gear off to cut his promo for some reason, which on anyone else would look fucking stupid, but he's a dirty white boy so it fits his gimmick. Second match of the night, and it's my favourite Luchador vs. my favourite BEEFYBOY. Eheheheh someone paused. Come oooooon, let him break out of the sub... Oh, he pinned him. Well, I expected Eddie to die, and he didn't, finish was shit. Why would you pin someone after a submission? I'm not really a fan of Holly Hunter, I don't get it, you can roll your eyes and skip past this part if that's how you feel. Very anime ending episode like with the dialogue and the dramatic music. Standard heel promo from Mad Dawg about the Ice Man. I still hate Ice Man looking so clean, but I get that's what happens when you're no longer dealing with a succubus, you get clean. Omen is back from getting his stupid face punched in! Sounds effects were too slapstick, but it's better than none. Very bad night for Omen, that's twice he's had his ass kicked now. The good guys stand tall though, which I always like. I really like the Megan Suzuki CAW, not sure on the entrance theme / entrance combo mind you. FloJo is FloJo. I really liked FloJo winding up the dive, I guess FloJo isn't always just FloJo. More competitive than I thought it would be, and an actually palatable finish. Ashley talks like a robot, but hitting her with the FLORENCE was a subtle little heel move. I really enjoyed the ME heel promo, then the chalk and cheese combo of A-Mart and Harris, even the entrance is perfect. The Pivot *lifts sunglasses.* So the next promo, it might feel like I'm being mean, and if you feel that way I am, and it's your fault. [Plagiarism]. I actually liked it, even if it was a bit of a grammatical nightmare at times. I enjoy seeing people that don't normally do work... Well... Do work. Bit of a dark storyline here with Scotty X becoming addicted to painkillers, but y'know what, keep doing work Scotty. Keep. On. Working. Big big win for Dark Reese... I mean PWS. Unsure if Luis was able to defend himself after the initial kick out because his arms do a little spasm that looks sort of like the FISTUPFISTUPFISTUPFISTUASOPTUASOIFUASIOF stupid animation, but inconclusive. C-Note now, the voice is great. Canada's second favourite son. I'm not sure if I'm meant to cheer him or not... Plus he's saying shit, then suddenly won't say fuck... So I guess he's the good guy? Time for the contract signing between Blacksmith and... Oops. Dad died. DNS fought Puro Country, Puro Country won. Bad night for the male members of DNS so far huh? Bolek vs Kass, and Kass is the face, because Bolek is a wanker. Kass' face paint seems to have reached the bottom of the bottle here as it's flaking off, or he just really wants to beat up Bolek. Another beating up of DNS, I love it. I don't blame Kass for going after his stupid face. And I'm stopping here, final page might get reviewed, it might not.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Leslie M Wu Media Relations, .boot.Y Phone: (555) 123-4567 .boot.Y: The New Era of Wrestling Footwear Pro Wrestlers Paul Pugh and Rust Cohle Launch .boot.Y, the First Wrestling Boot Brand Designed by Wrestlers, for Wrestlers August 23, 2024 – New York, NY: Get ready for the ultimate game-changer in professional wrestling footwear. OCW legends Paul Pugh and Rust Cohle have officially announced the launch of .boot.Y, the first premium wrestling boot brand designed by pro wrestlers, for pro wrestlers. Combining years of in-ring experience, athletic precision, and a passion for style, Pugh and Cohle have created a line of boots that will change the way wrestlers perform on the mat—and beyond. .boot.Y (pronounced "boot why?") brings cutting-edge craftsmanship, enhanced durability, and a fierce look to the wrestling ring, with every design meticulously crafted to meet the unique demands of the sport. Whether you're executing a high-flying move or holding the line in a brutal ground game, .boot.Y ensures you’ll be supported every step of the way. "Wrestlers know best what their feet go through," said Paul Pugh, OCW Hall of Famer and co-founder of .boot.Y. "We've been through every challenge imaginable, and we know how important footwear is to performance, comfort, and safety. That's why we built these boots to offer superior ankle support, flexible movement, and a striking design that reflects the passion and grit of professional wrestling.... now get out of my office" Both Pugh and Cohle are no strangers to innovation in the ring. Known for their technical prowess and iconic careers, they took their experience as elite athletes and transferred it into the design and development of .boot.Y. For them, it wasn't just about creating a new product; it was about addressing the pain points every wrestler faces with their gear. "We didn't want to just wear any boots, we wanted to wear the boots," explained Rust Cohle, a beloved OCW figure and co-founder. "The wrestling boot market has been stuck in a rut. It’s time for something bold, practical, and tough. We wanted to create something for the wrestling community that truly fits." The men will both exclusively wear .boot.Y brand going forward, beginning at Summercide in Barcelona, Spain a week from Saturday.

The camera opens up on a parking lot with people setting up for what looks to be some sort of event. Speakers are being tested, folding tables are being unfolded, and trays of food covered in aluminum are being arranged with care. The volunteers represent a wide array of cultural backgrounds with a strong presence of people of color. Among them is Jacob Hawk, wearing a black-and-white a weathered vest covered in pins, patches, and anti government slogans. He picks up a heavy box labeled “BACKPACKS” and carries it over to a table, unloading them and placing them on an empty table. The camera cuts through the bustling crowd, passing by a group grilling food, setting up tables and other equipment. The camera lands on Mistico. He scans the crowd, then spots Hawk. A smirk creeps onto his face. He adjusts his mask and makes his way toward him. Jacob looks up, a bit thrown. Jacob Hawk: Mistico? What are you doing here? El Grand Mistico(shrugging with casual flair):I heard there was a charity event and I decided to stop by. You know Mistico—Mistico loves the kids. Jacob Hawk (raising an eyebrow, still unloading): Yeah? Well, we ain’t just handin’ out balloons and taking pictures. This is about real help. We got food, we got hygiene kits, we got fresh clothes, boots, blankets. We even got books for the kids! Jacob gestures proudly to a nearby crate. The camera pans down to reveal a box full of hardback copies of The Anarchist Cookbook, Assata: An Autobiography, and a stack of zines with titles like Burn the Crown, Feed the Poor. Camera slowly pans back up to Mistico, who stares with a cocked eyebrow through his mask. El Grand Mistico:....Yeahhh, right. Books for the kids. Jacob Hawk(completely serious): Knowledge is power. Mistico(holding back a smirk): Power's great, but maybe start 'em with The Giving Tree, buddy. They both share a brief laugh Jacob crosses his arms, giving Mistico a once over. Jacob Hawk: You know, I gotta admit. I didn’t have “Mistico showing up to my community drive” on today’s bingo card. El Grand Mistico (grinning under the mask): And I didn’t expect to be greeted with a box of revolutionary bedtime stories. But here we are. Jacob Hawk (chuckles): Hey, don't knock it. You’d be surprised how many kids ask for the one about dismantling capitalism. Mistico: Sure they’re not just looking for the pictures? Jacob Hawk: There are diagrams. Mistico(laughs, then nods approvingly): Okay, okay, I respect it. You’re doing real work out here, man. I came thinking I’d hand out a few masks, maybe pose for some photos. I see you got the whole community moving. Jacob Hawk: Yeah, well… someone’s gotta show up who doesn’t vanish once the cameras stop rolling. Mistico raises both hands playfully. Mistico: Hey, hermano, don’t lump me in with the suit-and-tie charity squads. I care about my community. Jacob Hawk: Hey you're here aren't you? Mistico: Fair enough A nearby teen calls Mistico over to sign a OCW magazine. He holds up a finger to Jacob. Mistico: One sec, Duty calls. He heads over, signs the magazine, takes a quick selfie, then strolls back to the table, cracking his knuckles. Mistico:Alright, bet. Let's get to work. They both chuckle and start working side by side, handing out supplies. The camera pulls back on the two wrestlers joking and passing out supplies together, surrounded by music, laughter, and community before fading to black.

Saturday, June 14th, 1:52am | Mount Sinai Hospital | New York, NY The ominous bustling of foot traffic and light breathy conversations fill a very bright hallway. Sporadic beeping can be heard to break up the lingering softness in the air. The view pans upwards to a door, “Room 12”. After a few moments, the door creaks open. Walking out is the wide figure of former CCW World Champion Inness Quartz. He takes one last look into the room and nods. Just behind his left ear, a gym bag and several organza pieces of wrestling gear are tossed on, blood stains visible on the top. Quartz steps out of the room and shuts the door behind him. Quartz hangs his head, standing in front of the door for a few minutes before a voice breaks him from his trance. ???: How he doing? Quartz snaps his head to the side, seeing the Cesar siblings, Drago and Dragana, standing just a few steps away. Quartz seems surprised to see the two of them. Dragana offers him a smile and wave. Quartz: Nothing a little time off won’t fix. You know how it is. The champ hangs his head again and starts to step towards the seat in front of the door. Drago: …How you doing, bubba? The Crimson Sentinel shakes his head, not offering a verbal response. Drago and Dragana walk to sit with Quartz. The bags under his eyes are more pronounced than usual. His expression is one of unfiltered guilt about the situation that unfolded on RIOT 640 just hours earlier. Quartz: I couldn’t stop her. Dragana’s smile fades as she tries to console her fellow OCW veteran. Quartz: I thought -- “Tonight… Tonight is the time we finally gain some ground in this whole thing.” Quartz: “Tonight I’m the one that’s 10 steps ahead…” Quartz: Everyone around me... Every week... I have to watch them punished, knowing I'm the reason why. Now Mugen, even after everything I did earlier this year- The conflicted Quartz buries his head in his palms for a few moments before firmly rubbing his face and taking a deep breath. Drago: Larry is strong, is not your fault. Drago: This little thing? Is nothing compared to crazy wars he been in before. He back on his feet in no time. The COO’s upbeat tone shifts slightly as he takes a deep breath himself. Drago: I’m be honest. I’m wasn’t sure when you attack Bingo, I’m no understand why. Drago: I know that not you. I know it. Mugen, I know he not himself the last few years either… But the Mugen I know was out there tonight, standing by your side… I see it now. Drago: We--uh… Drago rubs his temples in slight frustration. Dragana looks down. Drago: …we try not to get involved with EMP or Mr. Sensation, don’t want to upset the delicate balance you know. Quartz peers up from his sulking position to listen closely to the calm, but pointed delivery in the COO’s voice. Drago: I’m always think everything work out in the end, you know? Dragana nods her head, looking up at her brother as well. Drago: ...but this not fair. Not fair to you, to our fans, to anyone. Is my job to be COO for OCW… Is the responsibility I assumed when I beat Nate Ortiz. Before he continues, he looks down at Dragana who is furiously tapping on her phone. He smiles as she lifts it up and from the speaker: Speaker: Again. Dragana’s contagious smile eases the tension as her brother scratches his head before he continues. Drago: Is not much, but I think there is something I’m can do for you. Drago takes a few steps towards the door to Room 12, as Dragana stands up and walks alongside him. Before they open the door to visit their old friend, he turns his head to Quartz. Drago: I talk to Dupree. I talk to production… You do the rest at Summercide, okay? Hang in there, bubba… Everything always work out in the end, you know? Quartz’s eyes stay locked on Drago for a few moments before he gives a subtle nod. The Cesars nod back before entering Mugen’s hospital room. We fade out as Quartz takes labored steps towards the elevator at the end of the hallway.

YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. DAAAAAWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Cheryl’s Instagram livestream begins. She’s framed glamorously in soft pink lighting, holding a Citrus Spritz glass. A candle flickers dramatically in the background with the label ‘Redemption & Rosewater’. The screen is flooded with pink emojis as Cheryl launches into full Stixx-mode. Cheryl: Hiiii my gorge StixxStars!! I hope y’all are thriving, shining, exfoliated, and emotionally armed for Certified Greatness this weekend! Because, um—wow. The air is THICK with prophecy and petty tension, huh?! She fans herself gently with a manicured hand and smiles wider, soaking in her own drama. Cheryl: I’ve been meditating. Praying. Fasting—okay, not, like, fully fasting, but I did skip my fat-free salted caramel frappuccino with oat milk this morning, which in Bombshell scripture is basically martyrdom! And I’ve been journaling through the drama… in cursive, which we all know burns more calories… She tilts her head, adjusts her hair with a delicate flick, and continues, mock-earnest and theatrical. Cheryl: I’m in a place of spiritual slimming, babes. Trimming the fat from my life—emotionally, energetically, and in terms of screen time hogs. Because as you ALL know, I’m a God-fearing, legally-cleared, low-carb, gluten-free icon walking the path of peace, clarity, visible collarbones, and sub-10% body fat. She pauses for dramatic effect, lips pursed in smug triumph. Cheryl: I don’t carry grudges, sugarplum. Or excess water weight! She takes a dainty sip from her glass, then side-eyes the camera with a sly grin. Cheryl: And listen, listen… I know there’s been a lot of questions. ‘Is Cheryl going to throw hands?’; ‘Will she back it up?’; ‘Can she even back it up without breaking a nail?’ Cheryl: HUH?! Y’all are so nosy, and I love that about you! She sets the glass down, sits up straighter, and clasps her hands like a preacher’s wife mid-sermon. Cheryl: All I’ll say is this… Cheryl: Whatever happens at Certified Greatness? It will be legendary. Divine. Possibly violent. Possibly tearful. Possibly… therapeutic. Cheryl: And above all? It’s gonna be very Stixxational! She tosses her hair dramatically, her earrings glinting. Cheryl: Because I didn’t come back to OCW to be overlooked. I came to be unforgettable. And some people—bless their sturdy hearts—might just have to learn that the hard way. She leans in closer, eyes flicking over the live chat feed. Her expression lights up. Cheryl: Ooooh okay, question time! Let’s see… Cheryl: ‘Cheryl, do you think Marisa’s ready for you?’ Cheryl: Ready for me? Baby, she can’t even spell prepared… She grins cruelly, then shrugs casually. Cheryl: This is a woman who thought dragging my past would keep her in power—like anyone was paying attention to her promos before I walked back through that curtain. Cheryl: I’m not a rival. I’m a reckoning! She reads another question, her eyebrows lifting with theatrical curiosity. Cheryl: ‘What are you wearing to Certified Greatness?’ Cheryl: Well sugarplums, I’m still deciding between armor, leather, or nothing but divine judgment. Stay tuned… She pauses, placing a hand over her heart. Cheryl: And to all my little StixxStars: no matter what happens… Just know your girl is coming into this weekend with good intentions, great lashes, and the wrath of a woman wronged! She gives a knowing look, then leans in like it’s a secret between her and the screen. Cheryl: See y’all at Certified Greatness. Light a candle. Say a prayer. And bring snacks. Because whatever’s coming… is gonna be Stixxational! She raises her glass, then waves with the back of her hand, voice lilting. Cheryl: Stay Stixxated, and Stixx with me… Toodles! She blows a kiss, winks, and the livestream ends.

I GUESS I'M SAYING WE ARE BACK!

B17: I understand Mugen is protecting his investment, but come on, a hospital? It’s a bit overly dramatic. Underpaid cameraman: You suffered a concussion, and Mugen insists you remain here for one more night. Mr. Mugen believes this could help stir sympathy if you look extra vulnerable. B17: What do I look like, John Carter? I don’t need to stir sympathy. Wha- the hell is he doing here? Wrex stumbles in. Cameraman: Mugen believed that by using a friend from your past, the audience would feel a certain nostalgia and-- Wrex: Bingo! Wrex jumps at B17, and the cameraman splays to the floor. A confusion of flying limbs and comical sounds ring out from somewhere in the room. B17: Mugen doesn’t watch the show! Wrex and I didn’t part on good terms! Wrex: You kicked me through a fucking table! The cameraman gains his feet and steadies the camera again. Wrex and Bingo are circling each other. Bingo’s gown is partially open, revealing a perfectly sculpted ass. B17: Hey! Hey! No! Bad Wrex! Wrex: You know how big of a splinter had to be pried from my ass! B17: What the hell did you want me to do? Wrex charges at Bingo. B17, not expecting this, is caught flat-footed when Wrex catches him full in the stomach and drives him through the cheap wooden door and onto his back in a cascade of splintered shards. B17: Oooooo, you fat bastard. Bingo rolls away, clutching his ribs. Wrex: Now- we’re even! Standing awestruck at the two men who came crashing through the door is a petite Asian nurse holding a less-than-stellar fruit basket. The apples are browning, and the bananas have blackened. What might have been oranges have started to rot, and the sad-looking pineapple pulls the whole thing together. Nurse: Er, Fruit Basket from Sultan of Safety Mugen for Gucci Daddy? Wrex grabs the basket handle, but it breaks easily in his hands. Wrex: Cheap bastard. He drops the basket to the floor, giving it a good old punt kick, rotting fruit flying everywhere along the hallway. Before, of course, reaching into his coat pocket for an unsponsored alcoholic beverage. The can was cracked open as he spoke. Wrex: Alright, screw this. Ready to go? Bingo: Escape the Hospital Part 2? Wrex shrugs, heading for the stairwell. The can is emptied in one before smacking it over his head; it is a natural response. Wrex: Hopefully, there will be no horses in it this year. Bingo gingerly walks to the door with Wrex in the lead, but a weird beeping noise stops both men. They turn to face the source. The tiny Asian nurse’s head is twitching, and her face explodes in a flash of sparks to reveal the machine underneath! Bingo: Holy frick, Mugen made robots…. Robot Nurse: B17 is not to leave. B17 must stay for his safety. The fat one must go. More robots come spilling out of the rooms, and the cameraman is revealed to be a camera robot, oddly enough he keeps the bulky camera on his shoulder, but, I mean, if he’s a robot, he should be able to film through, like, his eyes or something. Wrex to Bingo: Do you trust me? Bingo: No. Wrex seems unperturbed by this and rips off Bingo’s gown, revealing him to the world again in Pixels. Wrex: Do you ever wear pants!? Wrex then wraps the gown around his hand and punches glass labeled: “Punch in Case of Robot Emergency.” B17: That probably should have been a giveaway. Wrex: Why is this even in a hospital… As the robots charge B17 and Wrex, the drunkest man in OCW pulls the laser tag guns, tosses one to B17, and starts…blasting? Bingo throws open the stairwell door. B17: I’ll cover you! Wrex dives through the door, and Bingo hears him flopping and yelping down the stairs. Bingo sighs as he puts a robot down with an invisible beam of destruction. The PA System bursts into life, and Bash’s voice fills the hallways. Bash Voice: SECURITY ALERT. Please identify yourself. DNS Emergency Protocol 17 was initiated. Please provide a voice sample for further prompt identity-based instructions. B17: Er… Bash: SYSTEM EMERGENCY! EVIL B17 VOICE IDENTIFIED. EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS IN IN ACTION. B17 in the best Mugen impersonation ever done: C4 Directive TOLMC! Bash: Acknowledged. Hospital Self-Destruct sequence initiated. B17: WREXXXXXXXXX! We gotta run! Jumping down the stairs three at a time, Bingo pulls Wrex up to his feet, and they begin descending as fast as they can. Wrex: Last time I try to bail you out of a hospital! The doors to the lobby come off their hinges from one of the sloppiest dropkicks around, it probably would’ve opened normally but where’s the fun in that! Wrex hobbled out behind Bingo as he rubbed at his hip, Wrex: Too old for this nonsense. As both men make it outside and wonder how they will get far enough away from this building that is about to explode, a midnight black 1967 Chevrolet Impala named "Baby" pulls up, driven by none other than Kassidy Hayes. Kassidy: Wrex, get in, come on, DO IT! B17: What about me? Kass: You can get in the trunk!? Be Careful of all the knives. B17: The trunk? You have a whole back seat! Kass: A leather back seat that will not be violated by your naked bare ass. Robots start breaking out of windows and pouring out from the door, Bingo, naked and in no position to negotiate pushes Wrex into the passenger seat, looking at the empty backseat with envy, B17 reluctantly gets into the trunk but is thankful for the escape. That is until he finds out who is also back there. B17: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Kass can hear B17’s scream from the front seat and giggles, Wrex: What is he screaming about? Kass: Your life-like Greg dummy must have rolled over onto him. He probably thinks it's a dead body. B17: Drive, you stupid bastard! None too soon, Kass puts the hospital and its artificial inhabitants in the rearview mirror as an odd figure hooded in white rushes into the hospital, followed by the robots. Wrex: That's gonna make a hell of a story.

Immediately following the opening match of the night, The Mantis was observed crawling out of the ring under his own steam and kneeling on the ring floor, clutching his throat as Belakor celebrated his victory. During the following commercial break, however, The Mantis then suddenly collapsed, face up on the ring floor. The OCW Universe stood in tentative, nervous silence as training staff quickly rushed to his side, but The Mantis was initially unresponsive, and would have to be lifted onto a stretcher and hurried to a local medical facility for emergency treatment. Belakor simply watched from the ring as his defeated opponent was wheeled away, seemingly indifferent to the unfolding events. Upon arrival, it was determined by medical staff that he had fallen unconscious as a result of Belakor, during his submission hold, pinching both The Mantis' carotid arteries in either sides of the neck, obstructing the flow of blood into the brain. Had Belakor not released The Mantis for just a few more seconds, we are told, the incident could very well have turned tragic. The Mantis himself has not been able to speak since his collapse. Due to the uniqueness and severity of the injuries sustained, it is considered highly unlikely that The Mantis will be released from medical care in time to attend Turmoil 326 Friday. Whether Belakor shall face any ramifications from this incident remains to be seen. More on this story as it develops.

This is less of a comment on the show, and more of a question related to my experience of trying to watch it on YouTube. I went to watch the PPV and the playlist was in reverse order to what you would want if you wanted to watch it from start to finish. Is it possible that on the admin side that can be changed? Reorder the videos so the first video is at the top and the last one is at the bottom please?

Dragana Cesar walks down the OCW corporate offices, wearing a beige blazer with dress pants and of course, the Pride Championship resting firmly on her shoulder. She walks up to the co-GM’s office and gently knocks on the door twice. ???: Enter! The Silent Queen slowly opens the door, greeted by the presence of The Betterness, Tiberius Dupree. Dupree: Just the woman I wanted to see… Dragana jumps up and gives the co-GM a big hug before Dupree shows her to her seat. She turns her head and is awestruck at what appears to be a giant spinning wheel with a paper cut out of her thousand yard stare in the middle. Dupree holds his hands out. Dupree: Yesh, let me explain. Dragana: Hmm? Dupree: With the elevation of our Woman’s division in recent months, we’re trying to expand the OCW brand into other regions. So I’m sending one lucky wrestler down to Mexico to work with a sister lucha libre organization. Dupree: That one special person will learn the ways of the luchador and maybe help bring OCW to a new audience. We scratch their back with a big star, they scratch ours with a little lucha. He points over to the wheel. Dupree: As you can see, we have a YUGE list of upstanding citizens to choose from. The Pride Champion leans over and notices the giant purple wheel has only one name listed on it: hers. Dupree gives the wheel a big spin and claps his hands as if he doesn’t know what to expect. Dupree: Come on, big bucks, no PHREAKING whammies! The wheel finally stops on, well, Dragana. Dupree lets out his classic half-smile and hands her a plane ticket. Dupree: Listen, we work with criminals, degenerates, and thugs. You’re the only one we can trust on the active roster not to embarrass us internationally. Stupid Spider set us back decades with the Japan incident. Dragana eyes the plane ticket and her eyes light up with a childlike joy. Dupree: Do what is needed here on Riot, then haul it over to the airport where you’ll meet your contact. Unfortunately, I had no choice in who your contact will be…You’ll know him when you see him. Regina Tacet seems to be stuck in a stupor before she snaps out of it and pulls out The Bucket List from her purse. She looks down at the page and back at Dupree several times in disbelief before the co-GM nods confidently. Dupree: Go get your lucha gear ready champ, and go have some fun. You’ve earned it! She stuffs the paper back into her purse and lifts The Betterness up in a huge embrace, swinging him around.

Hello Love when people feel strongly enough to provide feedback, regardless of whether or not I agree. RE: Deb/EMP from my perspective- I know there are times and places for more nuanced/non physical altercations and as EMP pointed out, both of us have gone that route plenty, including against each other. Just so we're clear, this is all a deliberate choice and not some lazily thrown together thing we just didn't have the time to build on. I asked EMP prior to recording with Shianne if she'd be interested because that is how the entire Shianne title build started and it played perfectly into the fact Shianne had never gotten her 1v1 up to this point, the insinuation being that both heel debbie and EMP didn't consider her "good enough", to which she proved she was, despite coming up just short. EMP was the next logical person and to me, her behavior is a logical escalation of how she already tried to handle Deborah before, with her power & manipulation of her friends/goons. That did not work for EMP, and if you recall, she was shrugged off once Shianne stuck to her guns, so of course she'd be furious. I think back to her initial interactions with Terra, Heather, and Harri Etiquette, where it started as mindgames/power abuse before turning to violence when that didn't work. The idea for "goodie two shoes" Deborah to try and start with a typical promo battle to address Summercide, only for EMP to go 0-100 and *skip past* the pleasantries, was on purpose. To me, it's meant to be viewed as "EMP is skipping the mental part and going right for the jugular." This is due to both her frustration with what happened with Shianne, as well as a less obvious sign of respect for how strong Deborah has been. (IE, I kill her before she kill me). Another factor was Deborah's face turn. She had lost a bit of her "edge" that got her to this point (something EMP pointed out with the House of Deborah and Shianne in total), so she was caught off guard by trying to just talk to EMP. This allowed Deborah to be something the other overtly violent feuds were not and bounce right back to show her she can be just as violent. EMP has long used extreme violence to get her way, but not always were the victims so ready and willing to get back up. (Most eventually do and do it the right way, the idea here being Deborah is not above sinking to her level, as that's what heel Deborah always did.) It was always meant to deliberately show that EMP can't flex on Deborah the way she has others. There's a ton of viable ways to pull this off, and we considered a complete abuse of power thing that coulda gone any direction, but I felt that was not appropriate given Deborah basically holds a similar amount of pull with the other authority figures. EMP is cerebral, so she would have known that IC and not bothered with the "oh hohoho traveler I'm here to strip you of the title and take it for myself!" More to come as we head to Hard Target, so I will stop there and thank y'all again for popping some show disco. Love it or hate it, it means you felt strongly enough to comment and to me, that's all that matters (also it makes Jay's heart happy so anything that does that is a ++) My point in the response is more to show that this isn't some hastily/lazily thrown together concept or something that's because of my IRL circumstances. If I wanted to mail it in, I'd just vacate the thing and move on. Not to say it was explicitly said, but just making sure it's clear that this isn't just some oversimplified thing due to IRL constraints, at least it's not to me, I enjoy rambling off all the tidbits and pieces of character development and logical reasoning behind things, so hopefully it's read that way and not being defensive, because I don't need to be. Maxx is right, there were other angles that coulda been fun, but to me, between these two at this point in time, violence was always the only option. I don't mind the Godzilla vs Kong comparison, but there's a lot more that goes into what led to this point and why aside from "two big monsters throw hands" in my opinions, but I'm obviously much closer to it, so no harm no foul. I suppose we'll have to see what happens after the no-contact clause was immediately and obviously broken. 😄 -- Aside from that, I admittedly haven't been as tapped in, but I always throw the show on while cooking or in the background because y'all do good work. Apologies in advance for any inaccuracies but here's thoughts from the brain: Iceman's return has been a fun surprise with him capturing the #1 contender stuff. His overinvolvement in lots of things we've seen before from other busy entities and it'll cool down before it becomes a bit much, I'm sure. Some creative new characters to fill in the gaps on cards and give fun matches. (both rookies and new characters alike) I kinda really like the Underground Elite. The mystery leader of theirs could make or break them but the group alone is fun and I always love early initiative from rookies. Parca is back to being a shitter, where he fits best. I don't mind Nova Rosalio(?) as a heater. John inserting himself into it as a three way was well done and organic via booking and I could easily see Sheldon being miffed about this. Also adds opportunity to build into the next show Loving the pride title being more of a tv focus since Cide Mass Effect are great leaders of the division, very easy to understand and they don't take themselves too seriously. Easy to fit in with any tag team when needed. I feel like I didn't really register the Loser Lemonade as that deep. If someone was unsure why you're selling it, you can take that as "I need to be more clear on my jokes/gags" rather than getting all snippy and throwing out insults. We love ya Dev, no need for that. All on the same team. BASH has slid himself in as a reliable guy who can hang with main eventers and legends from an OCW/IC standpoint. Valkyrie's battles with PERL and DNS are fun, an opposite sort of creative battle from what we're seeing elsewhere. I love when OCW accidentally/organically does different stuff and doesn't overdo one particular style of feud. This reminds me of when Valk's old streamer friend Alyssa Winters came back and gave us one of our first glimpses into her background & life away from wrassling. DNS has history of using hacking to fuck with people so it all fits. I love Dragana, all segments she's in are perfect. I do not love Kass being in the CCW picture, he was officially removed from it. This isn't a loophole in the wording or interesting way around it - such as when he cashed in *before* the Lution 15 main event since the language specifically read *during or after*. It's just shrugging it off. I WORKED TO HARD TO LET THIS MAN BACK INTO THE CCW PICTURE! WHERES MY RED COAT ribbit but hey, it's wrestling so anything is on the table, I just would like a better way around it than "emp said I could". thanks again world, be nice to each other for fucks sake.

After the brutal attack by El Parca on turmoil it has been shared with us that John Carter has been concussed. This unfortunately puts him out of the potential triple threat match up against Parca and Sheldon at Hard Target. This is why unprotected chair shots to the head have no place in wrestling. A future star in OCW such as John Carter could now have permanent brain damage. Hopefully we can see the OCW star back within the month. It is unclear if Parca will be fined for such actions but it was a very unfortunate end to a match between Carter and Bash that was just starting to get interesting. We tried getting in touch to those close to Carter to see how he was feeling before unfortunately realizing he has no one close to him to even ask about the incident. Sheldon seemed to be distressed over it though as he was unable to stop John from the brutal chair shot. Here’s to a speedy recovery for John as it seems there will be a pivot to a one on one match between El Parca and Sheldon Trembly for the OCW World Heavyweight Championship.

The scene opens in the OCW locker room, where Megan Suzuki stands in front of her locker, which is a reflection of her personality and passions. The locker is adorned with a Deftones sticker, her custom logo prominently displayed, and a photo of Avril Lavigne taped to the inside. Megan, wearing her ring gear with a confident smile, notices the camera and waves it over. Megan Suzuki: (grinning) Welcome to my little corner of the locker room. Some people like to keep it simple, but me? I like to be reminded of what fuels me. The Deftones? They’ve got that heavy, raw energy that matches what I bring to the ring. Avril Lavigne? She’s all about that punk spirit—never backing down, no matter what anyone says. And then there’s my logo, a reminder that this journey is mine, and I’m not done yet. Megan reaches out and lightly taps the photo of Avril Lavigne, her smile unwavering as she turns back to the camera. Megan Suzuki: I know there’s been talk. Megan Suzuki’s on a losing streak, She’s never gonna make it to Summercide in Barcelona. And you know what? Let them talk. Because every time I step into that ring, I’m not just fighting for a win—I’m fighting for something bigger. I’m fighting to show that no matter how many times you get knocked down, you get back up. And when you do, you come back stronger. Megan’s expression shifts from lighthearted to determined, her eyes locking onto the camera with a fierce intensity. With a confident nod, Megan closes her locker, her logo and the Deftones sticker still in view as she walks away, ready to face whatever comes next.
