Justin Jehst

RUDO's SCATTERED TURMOIL THOUGHTS: The Bobby promo was great and just another example of why he's touted as one of, if not the best, on the mic in OCW. Just a roller-coaster of emotion and you could feel the weight of his win. Tying it all into "Pride" was a great little wrestling narrative piece too, making the promo work with the championship name. Good stuff. Terra / Alyssa culmination was a great match I thought; very competitive and a different approach for Valk's play-style as Alyssa went after the vegan legs of Terra. Face goes over; good ending. Also the after match clip of Terra selling the leg was a small but great tool for consistency and shows that Terra went through a ton of pain but still emerged victorious. TY vs. Parker - plenty of room to improve for both of these guys and I think they will for sure. Dig both attires as they're both something different from the norm, though I don't know if Parker's theme fits the ninja thing? Maybe once I see a few RP's from him I can make a better judgement on that. Bray promo popped me cos it was out of nowhere. Need more of this from him; he's a skilled player that could make a run at the title if he stays consistent on the mic. Maxwale RP was an awesome throwback style promo - straight heel swerve on 'em. Really liked it; simple but effective. Tre Golden using Jehst's sub fin as a regular sub REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! And using the Black Phoenix MKII as a finisher? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! Otherwise a pretty enjoyable match. I like Tre's MMA/shoot style moveset for his character. I think AC handicapped himself with his Payback though; I mean you can win with any Payback but if the opponent has +Rev it's usually a wise idea to also have +Rev or Possum to get that Rev level evened out. Not necessary to win but it definitely helps I think. Empress in everyone's business. Flojo and Belle have been targeted, get Empress a partner (Moore?), tag match on Turmoil writes itself. Sad to see AA drop the tag titles to Bournistico due to obvious reasons but hey, hopefully Misti can make something out of it. Great attire from AA and it was good to see both teams just having matching attire colors like any good tag team should. Bertha is legit frightening. Good short match that was still competitive but Dragana shows why she is still a dominant force. Ace comes in and shoves her so I'm guessing this will be the next feud for Dragana, which I think will be good for the Ace character overall in terms of exposure and feuding with a former champ. I popped for Jay calling Valk a "raggedy bitch" hahaha so outta no-where but I just imagine Valks surprised face as he says that hahaha. Despite the entrance music debacle for the Riot Tag Title match it was an entertaining watch. I thought for sure Uncrowned had it won at certain points near the end but CQC managed to retain in a very competitive match up. I'm sure UC will get another shot down the road. Great main event, exciting finish with the double fin reversals into MDFMS for the pin. And with that post-match beat down its obvious this feud is far from over. Once again, Wrex/Yamie/and Co. put on a great story/RP segment in the Main Event scene on Turmoil. There's always something happening at the top on Turmoil that's intriguing and this was no different. Then betrayals happened!!! Scumciety grows! Will they continue to eat away at the Turmoil roster and consume those who do not abide by their laws of deviance? FIND OUT ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF DRAGONBALL Z!!

Interesting cast, I enjoyed it. Me and Cap were messaging after listening and in terms of the RP we put together, Capo wrote the first part until the Masked Man showed up, and I wrote the rest. I enjoy working with Cap cos we know each others characters so we can do that. Even though I'll be away from the sticks for a little while until our container rocks up to our new place we'll keep this story going. Me moving threw a spanner in the works but we'll do our best to make it work until we can finally have our payoff match.

I would say "nonsensical" might be a little harsh, I didn't mean to come off that way. Maybe I'm just old school in that respect where faces and heels should be enemies, not to say it's not an interesting angle. It's just like Bayley hanging round with Mandy Rose or something I dunno. Maybe that's just me.

I know who she is, I'm saying I don't k ow why they're friends when Valkyrie is supposed to be a lawful good paladin and Alyssa is a neutral evil Warlock whose patron is The Internet. Their personalities, to me, just seem like they should... clash (lol).

RUDO's 'THE CLASH' PPV NOTES: Opening match wasn't as competitive as I'd hoped but shit you're fighting Drago so, y'know *shrug*. But the closing angle of the match was great and a good way to start a show, with great energy, a surprise return that I personally popped for as I was never a part of OCW while Matsuda was competing so now we have another legend return to the ring, who I assume will join TTT. Good to see Empress and Flojo continuing their feud through the PPV, keeping eyes on them. It was also a good bit of character building for Flojo who has been described as directionless or 'scattered' in terms of the character so I was happy to see that. And of course, Cap putting in the work to get others involved with the show as well. I know a lot of people thought this match went too long but watching it again at 2x speed it was fine. A lot of great spots in this one and it felt bigger as there was actually something on the line in the match in terms of a career which made it feel tense during the end phase. That finish was fuckin’ awesome too. Will be sad to see Dillinger gone as I liked his dickishness on the shows and his slime-ball heelish ways. Now we gotta find out how Telos fares without him. I really enjoy the Alyssa Winters Twitch thot gimmick, it's a great heel shtick. I just can't see her being friends with Valkyrie though, it's just polar opposites personality-wise. LG hanging out with NE, like, what? I'm sure this friendship will be explained in time but for now that has me slightly puzzled as it brings all of Valks previous Face work into question. HEEL VALK CONFIRMED! Empress again showing initiative and creativity with her video package disparaging Flojo. I was watching this live and was in the viewing party at work and when "Don't be a Flojo" came up there was a cacophony of laughter and I had to cover my mouth and hold my LOL in. Funny stuff for sure. Even though the 6 man tag had its issues which I won't go into, the fact that B took on the number one contenders to the tag titles by himself was a glorious thing to watch. It was a great story moment in the match of the face being outnumbered and coming back to win the match with the Bingo Punch on his hammer-wielding opponent. Cort surprised me coming out as a third man in this one, I wasn’t aware there was going to be a third party in the match so I popped when his music hit. Great match, Cort was on fucking fire for the most part too which was cool to see. But man, it’s been a long time coming for Minio and even though the angle leading up to this match has been more about Cort vs. Shep it was still a ‘holy shit’ moment when Bobby made the pin. GG, and grats, champ. Holy shit, this one was long too but what a fucking knock down and drag out fight. I felt like Blaine was going to be Dragana’s biggest challenge yet and with the great build these guys have put together to lead up to this title match it was worth the wait. There were so many times where I thought it was over only for Blaine to kick out (I thought the rule was on the 3rd lay down) but the kick-outs only added to the atmosphere. Congrats to Blaine on the win; there’s a line of challengers to come after that belt with a strong women’s roster building on Turmoil. Possible Uncrowned vs. CQC feud happening now? Great RP and video package to kick it off. With consistently good RP’s, great ring work and FPR, the rookie tag team have shown they deserve a shot at the gold, and working with Quartz and Rust can only bring good things and experience. With these two in the mix and the newly formed tag team (I’m guessing?) of Wagner and KD there are a few more teams emerging on RIOT now, which sorely needs good tag teams to boost their division. Maxwale and Buddy continued their feud with some great RPing and a beatdown vid package. I was hoping Rhyme Time would engage in the tag division but who knows, maybe they will after this feud is done. This one feels like some sort of gimmick match will be the only way to end the obvious bitterness between these two rivals. Syzurp on a pole match? The CCW Title match I thought was great. It was just a straight brawl which I felt made it feel like it was its own thing rather than just another match on the card. That announce table spot...’holy shit’ seeing Trance fly that far was nothing short of miraculous. And the ending, though it felt a little sudden, was a great heel way of using Wrex’s win to not make Trance look weak in the process. And I’m pretty sure that was Jay Fury in a mask not Mistico lol, but I could be wrong. Scum-munity? Congrats to Wrex who now holds the fate of Turmoil in his hands as the torch-bearer. Will be interesting to see what feuds come about now that this saga is over (I assume). The Main Event of RIOT was a thriller and had me and the viewing party going nuts. When H2O was eliminated first I felt like Kass was going to get his belt back but Pugh proved to everyone why he is considered one of the best of all time, sneaking a win with a devastating Pugh-digree right on the top of Kass’ head. And with the end of match segment came a huge announcement as Nate and Tibby showed up to form a new stable of legends alongside Pugh; FAME. The entire landscape of RIOT is shifting and it’s fun as fuck to watch. Brilliant moment. Overall the show was great; plenty of moments as well as great matches (though some not without their faults) and that’s what you want, and all you can really ask, of an e-fed PPV. Angles and stories have grown, ended, morphed, began, and new champions have been crowned across the board. It’s genuinely an exciting time to be in OCW, especially with the influx of recent rookies as well. Fucking top work everyone. Thank you to all those who put in time to put the show together and get this shit online for us to enjoy. You are appreciated.

Show had some amazing moments, and viewing party almost made me burst out lol'ing a few times at work hahaha. PAGE 2

RUDOs TOP TEN RIOT TAKEAWAYS No sign of Kass on the show was a little disappointing; I would’ve liked an RP to set up the Clash match, but perhaps something will come on Turmoil this week? No Spider either. Could these two be plotting something devious while no-one is watching? Rust Cohle vs. Antonio Everett would have been a good match if not for the crappling. Noticed a couple of them in the Telos/Golden match as well. Bobby did it a few times too, but he lost so not as big a deal. The Cohle ones were ultimately forgivable (as Everett would usually get the upper hand anyway) but not the final one; wasting Everett’s last reversal and then hitting the fin. I would have asked for a re-match if I was Everett. The stipulation for the Telos/Briezee match has got me a hell of a lot more interested in the contest. Either Dillinger or Briezee will leave OCW and it has me torn. Dillinger is such a good character and I’d hate to see him no longer on OCW TV. And on the other hand, Briezee is the face so it would be a ‘feel-good’ revenge angle closer if he won. Damn. I thought the foreshadowing around the Austin Lee segments was genius. I honestly thought he was taking some dark turn towards being an addict or something, but the swerve to Terra was just brilliant. Loved the writing in these too, felt dark and gritty, seedy as fuck. Welcome to the Plant Side, Austin Lee! #nokillmeal #plantlife I loved the psychology of the Valkyrie/Karissa/Moore angle throughout the show. Moore drops motorbike on Valk’s arm; dick heel move. Karissa targets Valk’s arms during the match; smart technical wrestling. Valk RP’s keep that psychology going. It was great. Also, Valk’s combos are deadly; so many ‘keep-opponent-standing’ moves you can’t afford not to reverse. Not sure if I find it smart/tactical gaming or cheap/cheese, I’m kinda torn on it. In any case, the Moore/Valk match at The Clash will be her shot at closing the curtains on Moore. Maxwale lookin’ like cross-dressing Kerwin White! The gear-bag prank was a good go-to face move from Rhyme Time and added a little more hilarity to their feud and the match itself. Will be interesting to see how Maxwale’s look is when it’s not chosen by his feud partner, cos I was digging it pre-gender-swap. Jerry Boy Savage…Uhmm…I didn’t mind the CAW’s in-ring attire but that entrance attire was a fucking eye-sore and in no way meshed with his entrance music (which I couldn’t fucking stand because I like hip-hop artists who can rap in time with the beat and have skill). It was just all a bit too mish-mash for me, but I’m sure he’ll find his feet eventually. I mean, I debuted looking like a game-reviewing YouTuber and now I have a more distinct look. AC Cobra’s theme always gets me too; why is a white guy coming out to a song which calls him an “N-Word”? It just doesn’t work for me, I mean I’d prefer not to hear that word at all during a wrestler’s entrance music, but that’s just me. I mean, I appreciate the effort in recording an entire entrance theme, and apart from that it’s fine, it’s just, yeah…Also, I want to see a different AC attire, just a different colour scheme would be fine, cos I dig the general look. A win for JBS but I’d give yourself another rev if you want to not handicap yourself in OCW. Cort and Bobby both put in a lot of work on this show and I hope that kind of effort doesn’t burn you guys out. Cort did well to show determination through an injury angle and also disappointment at not being able to compete. And on the other side, Bobby had no qualms rubbing his face in it and also locking horns with Quartz which provided some quality RPing. Blaine/Dragana continued the competition angle and it is one of top matches to match on The Clash purely because I have seen how good Adam has become on the sticks over the last season and half and I think he has a good shot at upsetting the champion. The RP was nice, built a bit of tension, and then concluded with a handshake which showed that Blaine isn’t a complete savage and has respect for a tough opponent. Either way, it’s a good clash (lol) of styles and a very deserving challenger. Main Event was a classic. Such a gripping contest. With three top guys it was always going to be something to watch. There were a few times I thought it was over and then; nope! The superkick to Shep, then H2O rolls out the ring. Drago’s rope break. Then the finish was just a thing of beauty with Drago narrowly missing the save. This match kept all three guys looking strong as they all had their moments to shine and the World Champion ended up as the winner. The post-match TLBS segment was a nice little touch I wasn’t expecting and I hope him and Drago can have a really competitive match for The Clash, which is now shaping up to be a great PPV.

RUDO's TOP TEN TURMOIL TAKEAWAY's 1) Opening RP was “we’re fighting, let’s write” 101 Face/Heel interaction. You’re fighting someone on a card who’s not involved in your feud? Do this. Find one thing one character does/is/has/ that pisses the other one off, have a confrontation, fight. This was a good little character development segment too and I’m glad I’m seeing Benji’s character on a more regular basis. An their match showed the world that Benji is not to be taken lightly on the sticks either. 2) Again we have rookies RPing and getting involved in feuds with each other, and they feel fresh and interesting so far. Belle vs. Empress is looking to heat up in the coming weeks. I honestly think “SO SORRY” could go on Empress’ first merch run of t-shirts. 3) It’s good to see the Women’s division diversity on Turmoil and having all comers take on Dragana in non-title matches has been fun even just to gauge the overall skill-pool on Turmoil. And while Ashley only got her to single red it’s a good start. Anyone who has played against the champ knows how much of a boss-battle it is. And with the Terra/Alyssa heating up as well the division as a whole looks extremely healthy. 4) Even though Ashley/Valk have a match at The Clash I can’t see that being the end of their feud. I feel like it will either end there or escalate into something much more intense but nothing in between those two extremes. I can’t say I wouldn’t watch another month of this feud turn into something truly nasty and gripping from a watchers point of view. 5) Corn Ricketts seems to be filling a gap left by JackMo in the hillbilly category and I hope Kramer keeps developing this character as I’ve seen the CAW on the CC and he looks hilarious but also like he would squish you with a Vader Bomb. Nice little introductory RP in any case, displaying his personality in no uncertain terms. 6) Code’s feud with B-17 has done nothing but good things for him, and backing up that rub with good stick-work and major skill upgrade in this season has me seeing Code elevate himself into the ME scene on Turmoil, at least I feel he’s on the cusp. New look, his own stable, what else can he bring to the table? 7) More classic wrestling story-telling from the Cort/Shepard feud. Reminds me of late 90’s/early 2000’s WWE angles that guys like Stone Cold etc would pull on Vince, etc, with all the car trashing, etc. The letter reading RP was funny as fuck and I lol’d a couple times. I hope he gets either a rematch against Shep for the title at the next PPV or if Shep loses to Bobby, give em another grudge match together. 8) Bournistico fixated on titles; welcome to Thirstmoil everyone! I still need more personality other than “yeah, we’re gonna win cos we’re the best!”, unless that’s their gimmick? Cocky youngin’s? Anyway, Aries dropping to Mistico gives me even more reason to tune into the match at Clash so I can see them and Code get their comeuppance at the hands of AAB-17. 9) Bray vs. B-17 was a great match with a great story behind it in the B-Community angle. The action looked like some of it was pre-arranged but if that is not the case then perhaps the numerous DM’s these guys have had has just made their chemistry in the ring amazingly fluid. Bray coming out on top also propels him into the ME picture, which is only a good thing for Turmoil as the top of the card is relatively thin. The ending sequence of this match must’ve taken a lot of work to put together with all the cut scenes etc. Well done for putting this all together all of you involved, it’s one of my favourite combo angles going into the PPV. 10) Main Event was a swerve I wasn’t prepared for and with Jay Fury taking out the champ with the help of Scumciety it leaves that Clash title match all up in the air as to who will come out on top. Either way, as said earlier, the ME scene is beginning to pick up and either of these guys could have a good program with the others. This is actually one of the matches I’m most looking forward to as it has the potential to shift the entire landscape of the blue brand. Special Mention: Drago’s RP was fuckin hilarious with the horses.

FYI guys, the Capo beat-down was supposed to be after my arena RP, just for context.

RUDO’s TURMOIL TOP 10 TAKEAWAYS: 1) The ME scene is in good hands. Jamie and Wrex always add something to their ME’s which add to the overall story they’re telling and this match was no different. A great contest between Aries and Wrex ending in a dramatic fashion as Wrex just don’t give a fuck and low blows Aries. I’d watch a re-match of these two for sure. I popped for the Trance save. 2) Keith Hendrix/his crew finally get some decent air time. The match with B in itself was great and left a story opportunity open for a future encounter. Was disappointed it was a draw because it was so close at that point. Then the RP from Keith shows what he can do on the writing side of things and it was great, really well written and engaging RP which met the goal of not wanting to reveal too much about Keith by having a mouthpiece do the talking for him. 3) I’m assuming the Mistico interference was talked about and agreed upon between Lee and Bourne before their match? If not, and if I was Lee, I would’ve been PISSED at the constant attempts to interfere AND the times Misty actually did. Also, Bourne changes his look again, but I do like the attire on this particular CAW. Tightly contested match despite the Mistico fuckery. 4) CQC floating across the show was a nice change-up on the Turmoil scene. Even going as far as trashing the Blue Brand GM’s office. Not sure that was a wise move, boys. And then beating down a victorious Loki after the match? Real heel shit. It was a brutal beatdown too. Quartz vs. Loki plox. 5) Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. Change. The C-Community angle now has fresh legs with this betrayal by its leader on OtaKru, which is good for the sake of them staying as a Face tag team. Loving these vid packages, Kramer, keep em comin. 6) Bourne/Thrace segment confused the fuck outta me. Was that meant for Ambition maybe? Cos Bourne didn’t fight Thrace on Turmoil??? Regardless, rookies overall showed up on the show and it was good to see the effort put forward by Empress/Hendrix/and all the other rookies who put in content. 7) Matteo is slowly working his way through the roster and has shown marked improvement on the sticks which could land him a shot against the one and only Drago. I fuckin hate trying to counter that damn Pele Kick though, fuck. Will be interesting to see where he goes from here. 8) Cort bringing the verbal heat in a segment that took me by surprise, it was like a worked shoot sort of thing. It was just a side of Cort I hadn’t remembered seeing since his heel days. The frustration is obvious from Cort who still has unfinished business with Shep. He will have numerous challengers for his #1 contender spot on the rankings while he attempts to gain some revenge. 9) Pretty much every match on the card was super competitive which was great to see. I’m not sure if that’s a result of deliberate booking of skill levels or if everyone is just getting better at the game and evening it out. Either way it makes the shows a lot more enjoyable to watch. 10) As we rapidly approach The Clash it is going to be interesting to see which rivalries will culminate at this PPV and which will carry on into the year. There are a lot of feud’s brewing and angles playing out in a wonderful web of storytelling. Keep the stories rollin’ BAYBAY!

Damn it, Adam, I haven't seen Die Hard yet!

RUDO’S SUPER TURMOIL TAKEDOWN: + Opening segment was brilliant. Show the former champ without his title and then H20 comes out to show the world who the new champ is. Having Pugh and TTT all come out as well made this RP feel huge and worthy of the opening spot. It made them all shine equally and make you believe that anyone could have won that match and DN (which is true). I’m also having visions of a possible H20 and Pugh vs. CQC on RIOT before The Clash after that confrontation. + Cort just wants to talk Shep! Also “Billy and Chuck” hehehe. Seems bossman don’t want Cort running amuck on Turmoil tonight; we’ll see how long it takes for him to find a way around security, he’s crafty enough. + Short video segment from Code rubbing in the victory over B-17. Wonder how much the C-Community will feature tonight and if B-17 will get any revenge in this situation. + MJF does what MJF does best; talk trash and put himself over. With his match against Telos coming up it’s a chance to live up to his own hype. Let’s see if he can do just that. MATCH: Telos vs. MJF Telos you need to fix the skin colour to match the face texture my man, otherwise CAW lookin sharp as always. MJF looked dominant throughout this match from start to finish except for a few short bursts from Telos. I was thinking maybe Telos was gonna turn things around after the kick-out mid match but it never happened. FPR break has been explained, would not mind a re-match on RIOT at some point. + It’s good to see Damian RPing but I can’t handle the grammar/writing style of the constant “would” usage. Damian would...The clock would...As Mistico would... I dunno it kinda messes with the tense maybe? I dunno what it is but I would recommend trying to use different sentence structure to vary the language used as I find it gets very repetitive. Maybe that's just a personal taste thing. That aside, I am secretly hoping for a white angry tattooed Damian just for the lolz after that safe code was revealed. + Jolly good promo here from P3 and B. Was a fresh change from the mind-fuck that is P3’s usual talk show mayhem without completely losing that same wackiness of character entirely. B vs. MUUUGENNNN. QUICK MAFFS. + This was a classic face gets beaten down by heels segment and I enjoyed it cos it was wrestling 101. I really liked the initial brotherly banter etc at the start and then BAM! Coolidge in this bitch! I also liked the little swerve by CQC where you think ‘wait they’re gonna help Everett?’ and then BAM! HEEL TINGS! Good stuff. I’m guessing it’s gonna be a one on two match now? Guess I’ll find out later. + Short succinct promo from Code, was able to get his point across re: B-17 and still add a bit of his personality to the mix. MATCH: Code Jackman vs. Keith Hendrix First of all, it’s great to see the evolution of Code take it’s next step. I think his win over B-17 was what he needed to elevate himself and it was definitely a fitting time to get the new attire, etc going on. Keith’s entrance was cool too, I liked the little Twitter feed thing. Need and RP though I got no idea what this dudes about. Nice quick match, a few FPR things here and there but they didn’t affect the match too much. Code could’ve capitalised on a couple of de-buff rollouts from Keith but just stayed in the ring; I would’ve chased that sumbitch down. Shock win from Keith, although haven’t seen a lot of him. After that win over Code he can’t not be considered for some bouts with the heavyweights of Turmoil to see if it was a fluke or not. Want more RPs from Hendrix as well as he seems like an interesting character, if not slightly derivative of Velveteen. Also why does he wear a boxing helmet? I can only assume it’s to ‘protect his pretty face’ but no RPs so I dunno. + I liked this RP as it wasn’t the normal interaction from these two and also had a cameo from Natoli Joe which is automatic A+ from me. Pushes the rivalry along which is the point of it I assume. Also got around the protection order which was a good move on Tayy’s part to keep that fresh. + Alyssa Winters; still no idea who the handler for this chick is. Got Karissa Dawson’s entrance but I guess there aren’t too many female one’s to choose from. Need sound during that silent mic grabbing part (I converted a YouTube sound clip of a crowd to MP3 to use in those silent parts). Doesn’t look like I expected her to look like either, not that that’s a bad thing I just expected more of a glamour-gamer type I guess. Good character progression from both ladies here, particularly Terra who seems to be changing if ever so slightly. Be interesting to see how this plays out. + Couldn’t tell if this was a piss-take or not in terms of Benji and Damian being “wrestlers” and punishing a rookie; a play off the Discord gen chat saga? That’s all I’m gonna say on that, no need to rehash that conversation. But in saying that, it’s good to see both guys RPing and I enjoy the Jamaican styling’s of Benji; he Jookies better than Jookie. Asher being involved is a good first step for him, now he just needs to have some RPs of his own to push more of his character. If I understand correctly, Muay Thai fighter wearing HBK love-heart tights? HE’S FIGHTING FOR LOVE, BAYBAY! + Very clever and humorous vignette from Shep here of Cort’s career failings; had to let out a lol on a few of those. Must’ve taken time to put together so props for that. Great story progression as always from these two, having Cort try and even the scores but be held back by the heel henchmen. This is far from over. + If this doesn’t end in a contract match for rights to the apartment I don’t know how this ends. Maybe Ashley’s point of view changes after living with the virtuous Valkyrie? Or maybe Ashley drives Valk to the point of insanity and she throws her off the balcony? Who knows? + POWERFUL Drago in his new Drago Mac get-up (Drago Mac figurine available at OCWFEDshop.com) with a pre-match speech before taking on Spider. Old school style interviewer and interviewee hyping the match. Always a good, simple option. Also good to hear P3 are still going to be around. MATCH: LHW Title: Drago Mac vs. Darth Cyclops That shooting star to the outside made me pop. Some interesting reversal animations were used in this match that I’ve never seen before so that was neat. Drago basically did what Drago does in this one, although Spider did have some good moments that let his cockiness/weirdness shine (taunts, etc). Grats on the retain, Drago Mac. + 3 RP’s from Bourne so far. I mean, it’s good he’s putting in work, I can’t get mad at that, I’m psyched he’s putting up RP’s, but it’s like the Terra situation at DN; it’s starting to over-saturate the show with Damian. Was good seeing Thrace debut on screen and I must say, this was probably my favourite Damian RP so far purely because IT TOLD ME WHAT HIS MOTIVATION IS (finally). So I’ll be watching over the season to see how he plays out his ‘gimmick’ and how he carves his niche for his character. + The desperation from Heather in this RP was glaringly obvious and I couldn’t help but feel bad for her; really well portrayed. And H2O, like the champ he is, helped her even with her attacking him. Heather is a character I wasn’t into a whole bunch last season but her character progression was hard for me to ignore over the past months and she’s grown to be one of OCW’s ladies that I’ve now come to want to see because she’s both unpredictable and H2O writes her so well. MATCH: Doc Green vs. CQC Matching attire colours; tag team 101, good to see. I really wanted Doc to hit that springboard corkscrew move, it looked impressive as fuck. Doc held his own for most of the match but with 2 v 1 it was always going to be an uphill battle. But, on the upside, we still haven’t seen The Uncrowned vs. CQC so that’s a potential match up for either The Clash or an upcoming RIOT depending on where they’re at. + Flojo getting cabin fever locked up in her apartment with only action figures to play with and talk to. Can’t say I didn’t enjoy the RP, pretty funny. And also hints at Flojo going to Ambition; not a bad move, can only do good things for her. + Cort seems defeated in this RP but I have a sneaking suspicion he is probably plotting something in his head to get back at Shep. I mean, he has to, right? Shep has embarrassed him in front of the world. + YAASSSSSS Heel vs Face 101; injured face returns to save the day! Loved it. Classic wrestling story-telling which worked as it should. I’m left feeling good because Everett saved the day, and the fact that Uncrowned are still due their match as a tag team against CQC. Great work including Coolidge as well, as his singles rivalry with Doc has room to grow or, alternatively, conclude with a match at some point. MATCH: Bournistico vs. OtaKru Off the rip, Bournistico out OtaKru’ing OtaKru, though I don’t understand the reason behind the turtle power outfits. No RP, no special PPV event, no mention of trying to out-do OtaKru with cosplay, so really no reference point for this. Neat attires in any case. Bourne, you know you can’t just attack the legal man on the outside if you’re the illegal man right? I mean, irish-whip him back into the ring for sake of quickening the match, sure, but you missed a headbutt or something; I wouldn’t think that’s legal (maybe someone can clarify, I could be wrong here). Or maybe that would just count as your one interference for the match? LOL Damian taunts Bray, Bray goes “aight” and flies over the top rope. I popped at that. Didn’t think OtaKru was gonna put up much more fight after they were both pretty coloured up and Bournistico was colourless but they clawed back to have both double orange by the end. A few good shots at the end from Bourne just got Bates on the chin and sent him down with the MALIBUUUU DRIIIBAAAAAA!!!! It’s over. Bournistico were just the better tag team in this match with some great team work. + Two members of the C4 faction have a wee chat. I thought this was good from a standpoint of building the Main Event without taking away from Pugh’s confidence. Bobby built up H2O’s prowess instead of Pugh saying he was a worthy competitor, so Pugh still looks confident and assured. Good bants, looking forward to main event. + Blaine gets Dragana drunk hahaha, pretty funny RP, I enjoyed it. Short and enjoyable, and it’s only a matter of time before these two square off for that belt I’m sure. + Rookie initiative; good to see. Short and sweet promo vid to hype the CAW, sometimes that’s all that’s needed to have people hooked to see what you do next and finally debut on screen. Good stuff. + Damn, b. TLBS laying down the challenge to all on Ambition and to the damn LHW Champ himself! This was nothing out of left field in terms of it’s format but dammit I was listening to every word he said, especially when it came to mentioning the LHW Title. Can’t take anything away from Blacksmith, he’s been consistently good in the ring and RPing his heart out. MATCH: Safety First: Bingo vs. Mugen Was surprised at B-17’s change to Bingo Bomber but then I realised it made total sense now that Code has his faction; he doesn’t have that identity anymore. Nice friendly start to the match. Loved the superkick just as Bingo’s chair-shot was coming down, perfect timing. I cringed when Bingo hit his face on the steps after that Imugenation, holy shit... Also the counter into the Imugenation through the table was great. So many unsafe dives in this one, Ricky would be proud. Release top rope German through the table!!!! BAH GAWG!!! That finish onto the ladder was such a good ending to a match that had plenty of gimmick match spots to leave the crowd feeling satisfied with the level of violence. Grats to B. + Reading through, reading through, reading through, reading some more then BAM!: Valkyrie: Half of you masturbate to my matches, but you will eventually find better fapping material. Whoa...Valk just got dirty lol. Rest of the RP did well to carry this story along, and I’m sure now that this will end up being a PPV match. And yes, Valk, you TNA crossed the line, b (just kidding <3). + I liked this interaction with Dillinger and Telos with Cobra thrown in, it reminded me of early 2000’s WWE backstage skits where two people would be having a serious conversation and then Goldust or the Hurricane or someone would show up and bring the lolz. And so it seems Telos is after the Pride Title? I’m sure there’ll be many others who wish to stand in his way. + I knew Cort had a plan! And Damian spray-painting on a wall? I’m confused as to his gimmick/direction again. Dude changes more than a runway model at fashion week, I can’t keep up. I have a feeling a certain car is going to be getting a new paint job. MATCH: Aries vs. Trance vs. Austin Lee Joyner Lucas is a good start here. Aries and Austin eventually turn on each other after some teamwork. Some timely counters and heavy hands/legs/knees going around in this one. LIke others have said, great story-telling throughout. OHHHHH, MISTICO!!! This was a great finish as it sets up the Tag Title match and also protects the champ. Looking forward to seeing how Austin Aries fair against the up and coming tag team who have proven to be no joke in the ring. Oh WHAT?! Wrex with hair! HE HAD B'S WIG ALL ALONG! WREX-17!!! Hits two of Trance’s own fins! THE DISRESPECT! Looks like we got ourselves a new #1 contender! + Short RP from Belle and Valk. It’s a pity not many other rookies have had anything on the show so far so big shout out to those that did. Looking forward to seeing how Belle does in the ring on her eventual debut. + Tayy finally gets his words in and goes in on Dillinger. With Dillinger looking to be a long-term character I have to wonder where Breizee goes after this feud? There’s certainly no shortage of feud partners on RIOT so this’ll be interesting to watch blow over when the Telos/Breizee match happens. + That’s my ish, that’s my ish! + Code with a little promo on the C-Community and a tease for next week. I’m listening. Also, are Bray and Betamax Code’s cucks now? With Bingo as the Bingo Bomber now does he even need that wig? Maybe he will get it back and put it in Mugen’s lab, locked away where powerful artefacts belong; out of touch for mere mortals. + HAHAHAHAHA! That’s what ya get a snake bastard! A little payback from ma man, Cort! MAIN EVENT: H2O vs. Pugh Decent match, told a good story I thought, with Pugh going to the outside to get his bearings after H2O had him beat on a few exchanges. That taunt on the outside into a flipping meteora and finished up with an H-2-O taunt was gold, great spot. That ending though. I would pay to see another Minio/H2O feud, and if this happens again or Minio gets a shot at The Clash I will not be unhappy. + Oh...well maybe not then lol. Good swerve on me I guess haha. This is a fresh angle between these two and I’m sure with Pugh and TTT in the mix at the top there this could eventually lead to a multi-man title match at some stage. So many story branch opportunities. RIOT is in good shape. RP of the Night: Honestly there were a few here I have to mention: H2O/Heather was probably my favourite followed closely by the opening segment and Shep’s Cort montage/funeral. Match of the Night: B-17/Mugen. Even though I think they could have edited out some parts to make it shorter this match was just fun to watch and was filled with ‘holy shit’ moments. Really enjoyed it. I’m fuckin’ pumped to get back into things and with the recent rookie influx I’m sure the next part of the season will bring a lot of surprises.

RUDO’S DEVILS NIGHT REVIEW: First off, huge thank you to Jae and all involved in putting on this show; from the vid packages, to the commentary, to just getting this shit up online. Just know your efforts are seriously appreciated. This was the best show out of all my time in OCW, and an amazing way to cap off a great season so far. The opening vid pack was awesome and really set the tone for the rest of the show. It had that big PPV feel about it from the get go. And the international commentary team vid made it seem like a WM type event. + RYU gets his comeuppance for putting his shoeless feet on the boss’ desk. Then is thrown into one of his mobile homes. What if Ryu could teleport between dumpsters? *THINKING EMOJI* MATCH: Drago Cesar vs. Bray – LHW Title Challenge Nice little surprise to start the show off with Bray answering the challenge. Weird costume though. I’m a filthy casual when it comes to anime so I didn’t recognise it. Match was fun and Bray showed he could hang with the BITW. A few timely counters from Drago ends this one with the DOUBLE DRAGOOOOOOO!!!! Another successful defense from the Serbian Hunter. + Quartz going after Heather now? Their child would be born with a plethora of mental illnesses; I don’t think that’s a good idea, Ijitu! First TTT/H20 run in of the night, with the former LHW champ showing nothing but confidence. But what was he doing in Heathers locker room? ***THINKING EMOJI*** MATCH: Mistico vs. TLBS Weird entrance from Mistico/Bourne; didn’t get it. Seemed more weird/creepy heel than a face entrance. And the purple motorbike helmet? What? Liked the cape though. MAROON HORSE! This fued was a great example of two rookies taking the initiative to fued; it makes a big difference having someone to tango with story-wise and these two pulled off a nice short tale resulting in this cane match. Needed more cane but it was a super competitive match and came down to the wire; that finish was outta nowhere to end Mistico’s undefeated streak! Plenty of angles to play off after the result of that match. Good job guys. + B-17 gives Cort some good vibes and peps him up for his match against Shep. 17 always seems to be able to get his weird side across in his writing. He’s a little creepy but you know he means well and has a good heart. Cort is gifted the Bandana of USA, which is gives +5 to attack rolls and advantage on saving throws against cowardly yellow bellies. LET’S GO, CORT! + Nice little RP from Valk with a mystery caller/former lover? Whatever they said was inspiring and I’m sure Valk felt that talk helped in her getting ready for the match with the she-devil that is Heather Angelo. Who was the caller though? *****THINKING EMOJI**** + The music ad/vids were great and really added to the immersion, especially on the live stream. It made it feel more like an actual event. A minor thing but made a big difference. Good stuff. + Terra makes her on screen PPV debut with vegan sandwiches! Now I’m getting hungry dammit! I wonder who the mystery man is? ‘Golden’ would lead me towards Tibby but...hmm... ********************************THINKING EMOJI****** So many damn mysteries tonight! + B-17 / Jackman hype vid was a neat touch. 17 sounds like the Joker, which is creepy as fuck when you couple it with his sexual nature hahaha. A lot on the line in this match. MATCH: CCW Tag Titles – Scumciety vs. Austin Aries This match was built up beautifully over the past while with a heated fued between both teams. Scumciety had been, as was a running theme for a lot of matches at this event, ‘poking the bear’ that is Austin Lee even though the guy had retired and was trying to live his best life in the commentary booth. Then, Scumciety, like the bullies they are, had to try and knock down a returning Aries, attempting to douse him in self-doubt. Well guess what? In the end it didn’t even matter #LINKINPARK. It was a hell of a back and forth match with some great tag team tactics being used by both teams and there was a couple of times I thought SC might retain, but DAMN, that running boot was such a nice ‘outta nowhere’ finish. Congrats Austin Aries for knocking those rascals down a peg and gaining the CCW Tag Team titles. + Another insane RP from P3, this time Xmas themed! Always a rollercoaster of events, Drago and Mugen’s talk show resembles something created purely for those with ADHD or a coke habit. As much as I enjoyed the holiday mayhem, it didn’t build anything towards their match tonight which was a prime opportunity to do so. + Terra still peddling her vegan treats. These segments add to her character progression in that it shows her caring, nurturing side, but I think it could’ve possibly waited til RIOT or Turmoil (unless there’s something coming up later this all ties into of course). Terra reminds me of a Dryad; sweet and giving if treated right, but I feel if you mess with her natural habitat, vegan food, and plant-life she will snap and launch thorn-blights and entangle you in a thorny prison. + CLASH promo clip was tight, such a small thing but I feel like during the live show it made it feel that much more like a live PPV airing. It did it’s job; I’m hype for The Clash and I know none of the matches yet hahaha. + On-screen debut of Alyssa Winters. Not sure who the handler is but the promo was a good intro; got the gimmick across and showed (I think) her alignment on the Face/Heel scale. Looking forward to seeing what she does in the new year. MATCH: B-17 vs. Code Jackman This was a banger of a match. Code has improved leaps and bounds on the sticks since I’ve been here and he was against one of Turmoil’s top stars. With the B-Community in the hands of the wrestling gods, these two battled all over the ring area, back and forth, with neither two steps ahead in colour at any point (from memory). Then that finish! Probably my favourite finish of the night; and I was on Brazzers a couple hours after the live show. Good shit. Plus plenty of mileage in this one still. Will B fight back to regain his position in the B-Community? How will OtaKru take this change? + My stuff. Thanks to Jake and Doc G for their kind words on the post-show podcast. Comment as you will. MATCH: Women’s Championship – Dragana vs. FloJo – XTREME RULEZ Another improved handler this season is Flojo. I’m glad she’s had some direction at this point of the year; I like the CAW and she’s over enough that people will be invested in what she’s doing. And how can you not be invested in her journey to a title shot against the most feared woman (maybe except Bertha *shudders*) in OCW. Another great competitive match in an already stacked card. Flojo held her own against the champ but was ultimately put down with the Shattered Memories on the chair; another great finish on this show. That coupled with some other well executed moves onto chairs made the match seem even more brutal. Grats on the defence, Dragana. Anyone who doubted (if there was any) can now “shhhhhh”. + This post-match RP swerved me. At first I thought FloJo was gonna go full heel and take out all the medical staff, but it turned out to be a frustrated face move after handing the title back to Dragana and honouring her win. FloJo one tough bitch. + I didn’t get the sports/athletic sexy time intro to this segment but I thought it was a fine promo injection to break up the show a bit. Little short on the dialogue but I could appreciate the message having followed the Tayy story with Telos/Dillinger. Didn’t really understand the athlete look either considering he’s an RnB singer; I prefer the R-Truth look in that regards but hey, it’s different. + The Inception finally get a name. Always been a fan of the introspective RP’s and this one was no different. Giving an insider look at the mindset of H20 while simultaneously giving each member of the group a lil somethin’ to do in the RP made it really gel as a team RP. It’s the type of RP that TTT tend to do in terms of getting everyone involved. I agree with Doc G and Jake with their views on the KD thing too; it was great to see more dialogue and personality shine through for him. MATCH: Pride Championship – Cort vs. Shep Backyard Wrestling Terminator Cort. Dug Shepards attire too, nice colour scheme over a classic attire style. This match was true to the feud that birthed it; a lot of weapon spots and brutality. And even though there was a few weapon matches on the card this one managed to still stand out. In fact every weapon match sort of did something different, which is a feat in itself seeing as there is obviously no coordination between everyone or agents telling the talent what to do. All in all I enjoyed the story told in this one, especially with the after match clip. This feud has the potential to keep going to The Clash, which is what I expect may happen. + This Kasstianity RP was eerie, but I thought it was odd that it was Quartz by himself and not with Rust? Unless there’s a split in the works or Kass plans to turn Ijitu against him? Either way, great scene setting and descriptive language. Will be interesting to see how Kasstianity develops in the new year. New members perhaps? + Was good to see Ashley show up on the PPV, keeps her relevant. Was also a good little further character develop moment for both her and Terra, even though at this point it seems Terra is over-saturating the show a little. + Shep with the follow up RP putting anyone gunning for the Pride Championship on notice. Solid little RP to show a bit more personality. MATCH: Contract TLC – Archer vs. Jehst Even with all the fuckery of this game after numerous attempts (around 15 or so...) to get a match with Jamie it just wasn’t gonna happen. Have to give a big thanks to Ricky for filling in and help putting on a super solid match, was a lot of fun. And thanks to Jamie for being an easy fued partner and trusting me enough with his character to lay out the RP’s for him to edit if necessary. It’s been a fun ride. Props to Jake and Jae for picking up on the nuance of Jehst targeting the arms during the match. And while I can see Doc Green’s point with the ‘premature’ comment on the podcast in regards to the Capo turn, we felt it would have more impact and catch everyone off guard. I think it was Cort who commented a while ago after the RP me and Cap put out where he mentioned the line that would be repeated after that elbow to the back of Jehst’s head; “Success by any means necessary”, and that came full circle here. Glad a lot of you got into this feud and match. + A desperate plea from Heather goes unanswered. This was a good final RP to build up to their match. It also left a few questions on the table about the stable war between Inception and TTT. MORE TO COME - THIS TAKES AGES, FUCK

Full Jeltzer review to come; amazing show.

RUDO’S TOP TEN TURMOIL TAKEAWAYS: This show was awesome top to bottom, really enjoyed the show so well done to everyone. There was too much to fit into 10 slots but know I enjoyed the whole damn show. 1) QUARTZ IS HERE BAYBAY! Trash arrives on Turmoil. This opens up a whole new series of feuds and partnership possibilities for Turmoil and is a welcome shake-up in my opinion. 2) So now we have another incarnation for DB – “The Big Red Machine” Randy Scurll? Appearance change yet again and then the ending clip confused the shit outta me; is Bournistico over now? Why did Bourne use the corner fire pyro? Could’ve cut that from the end and still get the angle over for the shoving contest. I dunno it just felt super disconnected, as well as no RP’s to follow up or explain it. 3) The mischief of Scumciety continues as they deface company property to block out and nullify the broadcasting booth for Austin. Retirement has not gone to plan so far for Lee, #sed. 4) Nomad is done with the snowflake generation and is vowing to bring back the Old Country ways to OCW. He goes in and drops some little tid-bits of history and legendary names. At Devil’s Night I guess we’ll see if he can put those words of taking over into practice against the OCW Heavyweight Champion – New Country vs. Old Country. 5) If I could fast forward to this seasons award ballot, my pick for Most Improved would be Rust Cohle. I feel like he’s come into his own with a unique look, a great tag team partner, is now part of TTT, and his stick skills have gotten a lot better. He held his own against the number one contender for sure. Good stuff. 6) TLB puts Bournistico on notice with threats against the team. Bourne vs. TLB in a hardcore match? 7) Terra continues to make her presence known on Turmoil, and with a run in with Johnny and Dragana I can only assume it’s only a matter of time before she starts taking on the women of Turmoil in in-ring competition. 8) So it seems AWOL have put any jealousy or tension behind them and are back on the same page. 9) B Community bring the lols with a chase scene turned erotic kidnap attempt. I’m liking that the group RP’s together and has done so at least once a show since the start of the season (I think) while still having their own stuff going on. 10) KD and H20 teaming up to combat TTT? This makes me wonder who else will join the resistance and turn this from 2 vs 4 to 4 vs. 4...hmmmm... RPOTN: I’m trying not to pick these based on writing talent alone but the impact it leaves on me regardless, and on this show it was Nomad’s “Fuck Everyone” promo. Just felt it, like he really just gives no fucks who he has to fight, he’ll stick to his guns and go in with both hands swinging. MOTN: ME, no contest. This shit was tight yo. Such a great contest and down to the wire, it could’ve been a PPV ME. Drago’s RP earlier in the night built the tension but both guys went HAM after that bell rang. Good shit.

Damn good show top to bottom.

RUDO’s TOP TEN RIOT TAKEDOWNS: 1) Flojo announces TLC against Dragana? Has this been approved by Sensation or did Flojo just dive through a table for nothing? Weird way to go about things but whatever floats yer’ boat. 2) David Hunt has an interesting look. ROOKIE PYRO! He also has Rust’s finisher as a ground move lol. Check the list rookies! 3) The Devil’s Night promo clip is dope as fuck. Props to whoever made that. Creepy with personalised OCW messaged scrawled on the walls; makes me pumped for the event. 4) I always read Doc an Everett’s RP in English accent, it’s so good. Slides are now Everett’s gimmick. 5) I don’t know if it was intentional booking or if this just worked out how it did but that Minio/AC promo got me HOOKED. All that history poured out and breathed a chunk of life into a TV match. Even though Bobby ended up laying a pretty decent beatdown on AC I still enjoyed the match. 6) Braddock finally with an RP. I really hope he’s a tinfoil-hat-wearing hillbilly or something, scared the FBI is out for him cos he knows the truth about the aliens! Or maybe he’s just a little crazy...? Anyway, good to see some other rookies writing and giving us a chance to see what their character is about. 7) Telos picks up a big win over KD to keep his momentum going. He’s been on a good build these past couple shows; maybe he does harness the power of Shazaam before his matches? Anyway, grats on the win, hope something comes from it angle-wise. I enjoyed the Wagner feud, I’m ready for another Telos gig. 8) TTT vs. P3 is heating up! Quartz bday ruined! How do you get over as faces? RUIN A HEELS BDAY YA BISH! Good angle, great team entrance. TTT and Kasstianity were all over this show, which reminds me; Heather is one crazy bitch, holy shit. That therapist needs to get himself some sort of pepper spray or a tazer in case things get outta hand in that office at some point. 9) P3 segment was off the goddamn rails. I enjoyed the chaos and hilarity but found it hard to keep track of what was going on a lot of the time. In any case, the CQC / P3 match is imminent at this stage considering the back and forth between both sides. Drago as double-champ? 10) The show ended with some fire from Spider, calling out a bunch of RIOT’s top stars, and capped it off with a shot at Nate Ortiz...I think I can hear his boots being laced up from here. RPOTN: Again, I have to go with Bobby, this time for the AC promo. Just a gripping promo that did what it was supposed to do; pump me up for their match. And even though it was super short I have to shout out Spider’s closing segment cos it made me go “Oh shit, he’s talkin that smack!” and I popped a little inside. MOTN: Hmm...either KD/Telos or ME for me. Maybe ME cos Spider made that comeback and then went OSAKA GANGSTER on the mic.

RUDO’s Top Ten Turmoil Reactions: 1) Rookies, please, for the love of all things good in this world, check the finishers thread to see if moves on there are in your move-set. I picked up on maybe 3 or 4 moves in Daniel’s moveset including one of Kass’ finishers, then a smattering of others throughout the show. Just scan the list for #hespect. 2) Cort cross-promoing again; good stuff. Entertaining skit with Valk with the kids, especially all of them rushing the Kasstians like a horde of goblins. 3) FloJo / Dragana is heating up, especially after that promo with Johnny. Will Flojo be facing her at the PPV for the title? 4) Mistico’s entrance = hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! 5) Ever since my match with Ashley I’ve been hyper-aware of FPR. I enjoyed the Code vs. Draven match but Jett, you gotta cool it with the crapples my man. I think I noticed at least 3, which had the potential to change the tide of the match given how close it was at the end. Code was just continually wasting reversals every time that happened. Also, that match coined Jackman’s new nickname to add to his pile; “Kick-Out Code”. 6) Enjoyed the Aries promo/match. Like what Cort has previously mentioned, the RP made you feel sympathy and investment in seeing him prevail to prove Scumciety wrong. Had my entrance so I’ve changed mine as I #hespect de legends. Looking forward to seeing what comes of Aries this season. 7) First RP with Capo back, was good to finally get into it again. Hopefully we’ll work together more in the future. 8) Good match between Bray/Wrex. Thought Bray had it off that Rock Bottom but Wrex managed to escape and rake back to win it. It’s good for the story between B-Comm and Scumciety; now they’re even. 9) JackMo encounters a wild Aries midget. Imagine an OCW midget PPV where we all make our CAWs tiny and - - - oh wait, Ricky is already the smallest size, nevermind. Funny RP as always, I enjoy JackMo segments for the humour and the descriptiveness. 10) Oh shit! Scumciety attacking everyone now it seems! “Scumciety vs. Everybody” – make the merch NOW! Bray and Aries vs. Scumciety on Turmoil for revenge? RPOTN: I actually have to go with Aries/Scumciety locker room RP. I dunno I just ‘felt’ it, like I was there seeing it all unfold. MOTN: ME, that comeback was great and just told the story of overcoming the odds as an older legend returning, showing he can still hang with the top dogs.

Interesting Desk. Dudes mic was so hard to hear through though which made it hard to listen to at times, but what I could make out was some weird shit. CAW community is weird as fuck if that's seriously what they do (drama-wise). And also, fuck leaving everything up to the fed owner/booker to do shit with my character, I wanna have creative freedom in that respect, which is why OCW works for me. Also, how the fuck does it take 3 weeks for them to edit a match? They all doctors working fucked up hours or something?

RUDO’s Top Ten RIOT Reactions: 1) Telos over here lookin’ like Shazam an’ shit; I dig the attire. Braddock put up a fight but still has the Khallas in the moveset which needs to go; need to hespect de Spider. The win for Telos gets his momentum spinning back the right way. 2) Antonio; there is no such thing as ‘posh slides’. Even if they have a Gucci logo on them, they still look like prison shower shoes. Get this man some wrasslin’ boots! I like how you guys played off them in the RP it was quite funny. 3) Holy shit, new Ryu gimmick? A REAL OSAKA GANGSTER! Fuckin’ gold. 4) As B Comm was on Turmoil last week, TTT have shown up in full force on this show with multiple RP’s and angles with everyone involved. That Rust match was hilarious and I like the initiative of getting something like a squash match in to get yourself over in a cowardly heelish way. 5) Ricky vs. Mistico was super competitive, was fun to watch and was a pretty short match. Told a good story of two of Turmoil’s high flyers trying to one up each other with their acrobatic skills, I enjoyed it. Props to booking on that one too. 6) P3 back at it with some WEIRD FUCKEN BIZARRE shit and I’m sittin’ here like “these dudes are crazy; nobody wants to fight crazy”. P3 vs. CQC anyone? 7) Kass vs. Shep was epic. It was a great match to aid in the AWOL story too as it showed what Shep was capable of on his own now that Cort has the Pride Championship. Shep was damn close to winning too, that’s what you want in a match, great job guys. 8) What can I say that hasn’t already been said about Minio’s writing; it’s fuckin brilliant. It always draws you in and his character work is amazing. Always have time for Bobby’s wall of texts, no complaints here. WORDS ARE NOT HARD PPL! 9) AC’s promo was funny, I enjoyed that. Always good to see people not being too serious with themselves and able to take the piss outta their character every now and then. 10) I thought it was great that Valk and Heather used their Main Event spot for the night to push a push a big angle to close the show. It just felt like it fit as a show closing scene, it was epic and definitely got the heat on Heather as well as imagery of a sea of fans behind Valk. Great stuff. RPOTN: I think it has to be Bobby’s, just too well written not to be. MOTN: Shep vs. Kass for sure. Even with the match length it was, as Our Hero put it, a PPV worthy match. Great pacing, good use of the ring area, and just a fierce competitive brawl.

RUDO’s Top Ten Turmoil Takeaways: It's been hard keeping up with these last two shows but here it is: 1) Austin enters as Turmoils 3rd announcer? This will surely bring some interesting angles if roster members end up creating angles with him, ala Jim Ross or Lawler fighting against members of the WWE roster. Oops, spoke too soon; Scumciety already at his throat. Will be interesting to see what comes of that cowardly attack. 2) I know a lot of angles and ideas get recycled through wrestling, hell, my Hollywood gimmick has been done a ton. But we just got done with Code Terror’s paper plate angle at the end of last season. Bournistico, you can do so much more than that. They wore those because at the time there were no tag belts on Turmoil. They used those to birth a tag team scene. My advice, drop the belts and come up with another angle that suits you two. Maybe a one-ups-manship angle given you’re always playing that post-match clip where you’re taking the victory spotlight from each other. But that’s just, like, my opinion, man. 3) Scumciety are continuing to run Main Event angles even though they’re the tag champs. This feels so old school it’s great, like when tag teams used to Main Event shows in ages past. Looking forward to seeing where these guys go and how they continue to wreak havoc on Turmoil. 4) Trance to take on JackMo at some point? Is JackMo cross-console? If so, perhaps it won’t be Trance at all... 5) B Community turned out on this show, capping it off with a win against Scumciety in the ME. Plenty of RP’s and representation, don’t think these guys will slow down on that front either. 6) FloJo aiming to face Dragana for the belt? Hmm... I’d be interested to se how FloJo stacks up against the champ for sure. 7) Ricky – punctuation, my friend. Even just a full stop every now and then will do. 8) Cort showin’ up on Turmoil, putting in that cross-brand work like a true champ. Wonder if Shep will eventually take him on for that title or if their fractured team bond will mend. 9) It’s a shame Cactus is leaving he has a cool looking CAW, plus he put up a good fight against Code. Ah well. 10) Lack of rookie RP’s, even those booked. Bit of a shame; this is your time to put in work to get noticed and have people want to work with you. If you never RP, I wouldn’t want to work with you purely because I don’t know what you can offer in terms of storytelling or if you are a reliable contributor of content. RPOTN: Has to go with Cort’s heartfelt ‘acceptance speech’. All the highs and lows have led to this moment; breathe it in man. MOTN: I would have said Ashley vs. Myself but unfortunately my FPR issues in that match marred the exciting counter battles and kickouts. So in that case I went with the ME; quick, action packed, tag team moves, and followed up with an angle from Scumciety.

Yea, after watching it back post-recording I only picked up on the illegal fin attempt (during match didn't even realise) and that weird crapple before the DDT. In regards to the hovers, the only reason I attacked off the ring out and ring in was because both were off reversals; I assumed that allowed me to get my knockdown + ground move. I followed up with Kass and now know they are both resets. Also the same for knockdown off reversal, only get a pick up - sequence - knockdown, no ground move. I apologized to Ashley as soon as I picked up on the illegal fin attempt and told her I'm more than happy to rematch at any time. All I can do is learn from this and not make the same mistakes twice.

RUDO’s RIOT TOP TEN TAKEAWAYS: In no particular order: 1) Tay Breizee beatdown, who is masked man? I’m intrigued to see who Dillinger has hired to do his dirty work on Tay Breizee, and if he can exact his revenge. 2) I think there are a new contending team to take on CQC in the form of the Uncrowned. With a win over the same handlers it shouldn’t be long before they’re pushing for a shot at the titles, even if Antonio looks like he belong at a water park and not a wrestling ring. Chuck on some hand and feet wraps and it’ll do a world of wonders I reckon. 3) AC’s theme song, holy shit. Did you make that yourself? I was thinking of eventually making one for Jehst but we’ll see. Anyway, it definitely added to the immersion, though I can’t really condone the use of the ‘N’ word in a wrestling theme song. Beating Telos is a good first step in building a decent W/L record, let’s see if he can keep it up against others on the roster. 4) Valk again defeats a veteran handler. She has come leaps and bounds from when she started here which is great to see. Both in ring and with RP’s. Gonna be the woman to watch this season IMO. 5) Great promo work from a lot of the roster tonight including Bobby, MJF, Valk, TTT, and Cort Marshalls post match RP was of course up there. 6) I’m wondering if the X-Box rookies fresh this season will step up. No RP’s from them, and was surprised Braddock did not submit anything seeing as he put something in the promo room before the season started. Hopefully in time there will be RP’s from them so we can get to know their characters. 7) Adam hung with Drago. I already knew Adam was a good handler but it was good to see him hang with Drago and put up a good fight, even if it was with that little crazy bastard, Loki. If Adam does end up competing on dual consoles this year, he may be one to enter the “I Beat Drago” club. 8) Kasstianity’s grip on OCW is ever growing and will continue to spread unless another group bands together to stop them. Kasstianity + TTT? That’s almost near domination over the RIOT side of OCW. 9) P3 continue to bring their craziness to OCW. It’s a weird talk show/segment on steroids; it’s outrageous and bizarre but I can’t look away haha. 10) Ladies and gentlemen we have a NEW Pride Champion! Congratulations, man. No-one expected it and yet it happened, so good on you man. I’m sure there will be no shortage of challengers for the strap and I’m sure that the feuds with whoever you work with will be exciting, funny, and fun to follow. RPOTN: I have to agree with Quartz sentiment about Bobby, he always brings it with his RP’s, and so does Dims, so I had to tie these two, who, coincidentally, fought each other on the card. Great writing, character building/display, and creating a narrative to follow onto future shows. MOTN: Probably a tie between Karissa and Valk, and the Pride Championship match purely for the pop-factor.

RUDO’s 14 YEAR ANNIVERSARY SHOW TOP TEN TAKEAWAYS: So I started writing a full show review for this and got about half way before realising I was never going to be able to catch up before RIOT was posted, and I was right. So I scrapped it all and decided I’m going to stick to these top ten takeaway lists instead so save me form burning out. I’ll probably switch back to full show reviews when content isn’t so plentiful for RIOT/Turmoil. So without further ado, in no particular order, here are my top ten takeaways from the Anniversary show: 1) The OCW Title picture/landscape has completely changed now that Nomad has come OUTTA NOWHERE and beat H2O for the right to face off with Kass for the title. The little face off at the end of the Spider match was great to build that up. 2) There is no lack of talent this season. From top to bottom of both rosters I think there is no shortage of capable people on the sticks, which means the title picture for every single championship could be vastly different now and at the end of the season. I think there will be a few people who will surprise us with upsets this year. 3) Jake was all over this show. I think he submitted half the RP’s? Jokes aside, both Dillinger and Quartz are interesting characters in their own way and I’m excited to see how they both develop over the season. Grats on the title retainment. 4) Draven is for real. Beating Trance on OCW Live and now beating B-17 on the Anni show just goes to show that this cat is ready for the ME scene. Just need more RP’s to develop that character. And yeah, I gotta fix that face texture for ya man, didn’t realise how light it was in the centre. 5) P3 are entertaining as fuck; goofy, but entertaining. I also think these two are set to be a dominant team on RIOT, no doubt, given their stick skills. 6) The only rookie from the fresh group I saw make any effort for this show was Xander Knight, so hats off for taking the initiative to put something together (apologies if any of you other rookies did something, I just don’t remember it). 7) Capo is back! Good to have this damn meatball back in OCW, great timing for a return promo and I’m excited to see what he’ll do over the next while. 8) TTT are now even stronger with the addition of CQC. Could this be a stable that reigns dominant for the entire season? With RIOT’s tag division changing it’ll be interesting to see how long CQC can hold those belts for. And with Nomad now gunning for Kass, that’ll be another match to watch for sure. TTT championship-less after next PPV? FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON DRAGONBALL Z!!!! 9) Not as many people submitted RP’s as I thought might seeing as it’s the opening show of the season. Kinda disappointing but ya can’t make people write I guess. Even so, there was plenty of quality content to read through. 10) Everyone’s CAW’s are looking pretty good. With good looking CAW’s comes a better overall product presentation. I think the focus on attire at the tail end of last season has pushed people to be more creative and focused with it which is great to see. So, overall a great show to open the season. Plenty of angles carrying over from last season or beginning to brew. Matches weren’t overly long which was good, and most of them told a good story as well. MOTN: For me it was KD vs. Doc Green. The story of David vs. Goliath was always front and centre, with Doc needing multiple shots at KD to have him go down. This was super competitive and Doc almost pulled it out but unfortunately for him he just came up short to the beast. RPOTN: There were a lot of great RP’s on this show but I had to go to Quartz for that incredibly vivid RP exploring his mind and the multiple personalities that inhabit it. Great writing and intriguing story telling.

Have to give boss man all the credit for that intro sequence. I made the posters/took the screenshots, and he put it all into the red carpet intro sequence. As for the face, I actually used Ryan Reynolds but I can definitely see the resemblances in the guys you posted too.
