A Turmoil 310 Review By, B17

 

SCup Intro

I enjoyed the SCup intro, minus Jake's overly husky voice. Dude already has an epic voice and didn’t need to add the extra spice. Emp’s voice inclusion was excellent, and the song fits quite nicely with the idea that Emp is pulling all the strings. I think it will be extra important for all ladies involved to be sure they don’t get outshone by Emp in this and bring their A-game.  

Emp’s questionable tactics

Jesus, so kinky, Emp. I laughed at, “What an incredible leader and thinker.” Oh, I love Spider. This is just a continuation of the P3 segment style that Drago and Mugen made happen all those years ago. I was never a fan of the crazy concept because I wanted the characters involved to be more serious (and fight each other). Emp and Spooder doing it is more…idk, acceptable for my thoughts of their characters. Emp is pure crazy, and Spider is pure idiot.

Ashley Moore vs. Marisa

Spikes on the crotch is a fashion choice. The spin kick right to a pin is a great idea and immediately creates a beautiful sense of immersion. I can hate excessive dodging and accept that it is part of the game all at once, but I hate it; it just doesn’t fit my thoughts of what a wrestling match should look like. One or two, ok. However, that dodge away from the jab was straight Ali, and I popped at it. I don’t know why the thot hammer made me excessively angry. I started crying about Jackson Montgomery and then moved on quickly. It's nice to see another pin attempt. Does Springboard dropkick from Marisa seem weird to anyone else? The idea is crisp. An outside attack on a springboard is an offense that should be applauded. The Thot bomb is devastating, and I think the fans were chanting one more time, but submitting her was the right choice.      

Victor Segment

Does Victor know about the family because he is a nice guy, or is he secretly plotting a future diabolical tactic? I have trust issues. I like that Victor calls out how unoriginal the idea of attacking him in the parking lot would be. Attack him in the shower!  Not my style anymore…hm. Who has attacked people in the parking lot before…Again…Hm. See how he draws us into the implications that Karmine knows this person, but we don’t get to reveal it just yet. It creates anxiety for the character and the reader. Someone crazier than me is going through all the VK matches ever hosted.

Pervs Limo

Let him go.

Reese/Cnote Segment

Mark’s particular lessons have to be hurting. He loses to Owen, but Owen loses to Aries. He beats Bingo, but Bingo gets a title before him. He can face Pervs one-on-one, but Cnote interferes with it. And by god, the poetry of the video shows the same damn thing. I love poetic moments  Every time he gets momentum, something derails him. I do feel bad for him. He’s sympathetic, the opposite of CNote, who is infuriating. Is he infuriating because of the discord beef with some vets or because he is telling a compelling story? Has anyone on the actual show commented to him about not following advice, or is it a carryover from the discord spat? On the last show, B17 cut a promo about how you just had a star-making performance at Anny. Idk, he’s a heel, and I’m mad. I’m getting worked.

 Owen/Shelly Combined Tings

Overly long, didn’t need to be. The quality was good. The promo was good. You’ve sold your match well. Very dickish, and comes off as jealous, I like that. Heel betrays his morals when it suits him. Five bucks says there was a call to Baldie, and Owen just swiped right.

Perl segment

….Perl isn’t a robot; she has actual feelings? Nope. Don’t buy it. Ugh. Gross. Character building. Nothing to comment on.

Johnny vs. Bae

I’ve fought two BIG, HEAVY WEIGHTS to start my career here in OCW, and I was robbed of one win. We need weight divisions, this is unfair and unjust. Thanks for putting it together, Johnny.   

Instrumental

The notion that Flojo and Dragana can rock out is hilarious.

John is a clever idiot

I like John’s current injury angle. I think it’s fun, and I also think it helps cement what his character is genuinely all about. Any advantage he can get. It also reminds me of an OLD OCW SUPERSTAR who had a funny way of trying to avoid matches. Read the lore, kids. The ouchie got me. I could not stop laughing. Nice addition of Trance getting beat up in the back. Oh no, the white background with the yellow/Red/white and black outline was jarring. I did not like that. Put it off to the side and blackout where the characters aren’t. Seems like a bunch of teams want a shot, gotta love a lively divison.
