Jay you just TELL ME WHEN BROTHER!!!

Reposting the shit I'm looking forward to the most now that the card is official: 1. Wrex vs Trance 2. Pugh vs Doc Green 3. Bray vs TLBS 4. Valk vs Ashley 5. Bobby vs Tibby 6. B17 vs Code 7. Drago Buries The Universe 8. H2O vs Kass Wrex and Trance have had an A+ program up to this point with interesting reads, video work, great matches, and no crazy shit. A+ Doc should have been promoted in December. I said it then and I'll say it now. As a build it was supposed to be a swerve so not exactly a blood feud but the final RP did enough for me. Not to mention all of the other things make this something to watch. World title! I cannot believe I am this invested in TLBS/Bray. It was rough trying to rank all these but Bray's creative videos and decent mic work with TLBS pretty surprising face turn and that AMAZING hype video on this show put it at lvl 3. Good chance for either of these to move up the card following Sunday's match. Definitely higher now than it was for me at Clash. This has always had an interesting story, but with the persistence of Ashley and the fake-face smear campaign she's dedicated herself to, I'm back in her corner. Not necessarily hoping she wins, just in the corner of "maybe it's possible". Heel underdog. Bobby's been the biggest part of the power hungry FAME and now I get to watch Tibby in his first singles match back. I discussed this with Adam - 2 things about this angle plagued it. The last 2 weeks felt a little disjointed and it ran a bit long with no real mixups. The cause of the whole C-Community deal changed what I thought this was going to be. Now looks like a vengeful B vs a bad guy on his last legs, abandoning all other aspirations just to kill B17. The actual #1 contenders aspect still makes this fun and can re-shape the Turmoil top card after Wrex/Trance. Drago opening the show by burying whatever fool is stupid enough to accept his challenge is enough to get me fired up for the show as a viewer. No build, but Drago matches are so fun. Kass H2O = see Jay's comments. I'm more invested in watching Kass smash H2O's juicy fruits than I am anything else. Still 100 directions for everyone to go post-CG and the show will be undoubtedly great.

Me watching that last segment: http://media1.tenor.com/images/7c5e233e65d10a1bad9e28ec200e4281/tenor.gif

Several hours after RIOT ends... The sound of a light clicking on is heard. Slowly, lights in the control room click on. The very room where Dupree, Paul Pugh, and Nate Ortiz control everything comes into frame. A small OCW Staffer is seen cleaning up, picking up small pieces of trash and making sure the area is clean for the next RIOT after Certified Greatness. Not a sound can be heard, as most of the arena has been emptied after the show. The small gentleman continues his sweeping as the camera pans around the control room. After a few moments, he finishes up, straightening everything perfectly so to avoid the cruel punishment FAME would dish out if he were to make the smallest mistake. He takes one last look around the room and makes sure everything is in order, before smiling, nodding to himself in approval and clicking off the lights. The light coming from the empty hallway shines through the door into the dark room… The camera slowly turns to see a tall, large silhouette is standing behind the OCW Staffer. As he turns around he jumps back, his hand still on the light switch. The clicking is heard once again. As the lights turn back on, the figure becomes illuminated. Ijitu Quartz standing hovering over the smaller staffer. He stares the man down, who backs away nervously with his hands up, seeming to plead. Quartz: I’ll take it from here. The man avoids a physical confrontation and runs off. Quartz approaches a nearby control station that FAME tuns. He peers at several monitors and grows angry knowing that he’s been manipulated for the past 4 weeks. Quartz gently places his smashed and battered 10-Gallon hat on the control desk with a note on top of it. He looks around the room for a moment before noticing a box in the corner of the room that reads… “rookie garbage”. The text is scribbled sloppily on the front of the box. He lifts it up to examine its contents. Amongst the items is a single microphone… a pair of Gucci Slides… a bandana…. A “Free Valk” t-shirt and several other items from various OCW stars. After sifting through the items, he pulls out a pair of sunglasses. His PRISTINE SUNGLASSES. He tosses the box back into the corner and places the box back into the corner. As he turns to leave, he once again clicks the lights off, locks the door from the inside and stands ominously in the doorway. Quartz: Your time is coming, Paul Pugh. The camera shifts back over to the 10-Gallon hat and the note… that reads “Go F*** Yourself”. Quartz slams the door shut and the camera fades to black.

Okay, now that the shameful spam to get to page 2 is over. In the words of Joshua Tucker... #LETSGO THIRSTMOIL REVIEWWWWW. Typing this up as I view it. - Nate carries such a scary vibe with him. It's ominous but he certainly seems the more collected of the three pricks running the shows. - I'm a big fan of JT's characters and his promos because they're UNIQUE and fresh. I can picture his character shouting each word that's in CAPS and always bouncing up and down like 02 Lesnar. Awesome follow up to last weeks thing with Jim Black. If I have to nitpick, it's that he has a colon (:) and a hyphen (-) notating his speech. I know some people use hyphens, but one or the other works! - Bray always knocking it out of the park with the video work. Ace creeps me the fuck out. I think that's the vibe she's going for. This goes deeper than just matches and competition, which is usually Dragana's thing, how will she respond to this weird anime attempt? CAINE vs BETAMAX Well, first of all I like Soloman's ring work for someone who is new, just needs to get a better grasp on FPR. I also dig the look. I thought it was weird at first, but watching the match was interesting. He's got the character of a big tough guy brawler, but he doesn't have the typical giant/musclehead look. He fit some character stuff in his RP too, not afraid to go off the books and go at management for fucking up his name. It's refreshing. Match was good for what it was. A few notes for the rookie. 1. Always a reset after a pin, no matter what. 2. Kneeling = grounded 3. Be careful with all the duckunders, could land you in hot water. Other than that, clean bumps, back and forth and came down to the wire for sure. - Empress clearly taking Ashley's advice and slandering the good name of Valkyrie. I can picture the mean little woman giggling and reading from a script that Moore put together. REESE VS ANIME PRINCE STRAIGHT OUT OF ALBALIIIINE. I pop for Mark's entrance each and every week. Hopefully more character stuff and RPs from him as the night goes on. Clearly about to be his toughest contest yet. God damn that's a fantastic attire from Bray. Very elaborate. I feel like this is a great opportunity to say how much I love Mark Reese's look. Very RARELY if ever, have I seen someone in OCW come in as the big chunky guy with a Dusty Rhodes build and just embrace it. It's very simple yet very unique as well. Great match between these two early on. Fun spots abound. Mark is really good at the game and has an upper-level understanding of FPR which is great for how early it is in his career. Oh shit just as I say that he crapples Bray off a reversed stomp! Very good match. Very fun to watch and super duper competitive. - Bray wasting no time calling out his fellow OtaKRU member... Doesn't even get a word in as Betamax tells him what for. OtaKRU looks to be done. Everyone headed their own separate ways. I blame Bray! Selfish! - More new people! Short and sweet. Very nice to see the rookies being active and showing their clear understanding of fundamental OCW things like the Morrison Method, the show submissions, FPR (mostly). We might have a great class on our hands headed up by Empress and Mark Reese. - Speaking of Morrison Method, this RP between Code and B17 does not follow it at all. Actions and names in bold only, son! As for the content, very funny, very serious and fuck you Code for threatening a dog. I love dogs more than people so this was amazing heel heat for that hairy fucker. The show continues between B and Code. ZOE COHLE vs EMPRESS Zoe's CAW is pretty good. The colors work well. Aisu looks like a fucking power ranger these days. Looking forward to his debut. Ahh, one of my favorite entrance... WHAT THE FUCK. LMAOOOOOO. This took me by surprise. Love it. Also, I have to say, Empress did an awesome job with the face texture/look and it really shows without her normal makeup. Empress' ring work is fantastic. Rust has improved a lot too in that regard. I enjoy the mix of moves and spots going on right now, rather than the repeated duckunders and such. Some cool stuff from Zoe I haven't seen before, even if she did that pre-bingo punch a few times too many. OH SHIT THAT TOP ROPE SPOT WAS AWESOME. To that ref bump with the sledgehammer! Just fun spots abound. Backfire on Zoe and now it's a match! Zoe has one of the most brutal finishing moves in OCW, Jaysus. That is a pickup fin too, btw. I know it's a corner so it's weird, but it's still considered a pickup fin if you pick them up and do a fin during the 2nd knockdown phase. Just do a wakeup first to avoid this issue. Great match, not as competitive as Bray/Reese but more fun and creative for sure. - Back to the serious side with Jehst, a very serious accusation made towards one of OCW's top babyfaces, right with Elsa in tow no less. Capo's nonchalant attitude towards this feud has been interesting, he has the vibe of someone who is seriously pissed but also continues to carry himself very capo-like. Jehst still refusing to show the anger he showed towards Archer... Just wants his buddy back. Super interesting as always on many levels from Jehst. - See now this is a FloJo RP I can really get behind. Not just the direction being established, but I popped at "One Nation Under Individuality" line. Establishing something we can identify FloJo with at the same time keeping her own voice with the "can I go now?" attitude. Good stuff. JACKMAN vs B17's PICK Got dammit Jackman, get that WWE logo out of here. HOLY SHIT ITS BLAINE. I guess she wasn't happy about that either. The women's champion is beating the fuc out of Code, but he counters in a brutal way. Very cool way to start the match. It has to be difficult to pull off a decent looking female male CAW, done well here. Interesting to see someone who TOWERS over the women in her division still be outsized by someone like Jackman. Reminds me a lot of Jericho/Chyna back in the day, with Blaine still getting a lot of big shots in to show her power and not being afraid of taking a hit. Not a whole lot to say about a match between two workers who know what they're doing. Fun to watch throughout and more importantly, competitive. AWESOME spot countering the Jack in the Box, should have been the finish, but Code stays resilient. Leave to to Jackman to finish an intergender match with a bait and switch low-blow. - Jesus. These women are not fucking around. This is the showblitz aggression x100. Valkyrie has no chance. She looks like a villain on Riot but man you have to feel bad for her in this situation. Banned from the Tuesday show and surrounded by enemies on the Friday show. This works on so many levels as an angle. You can clearly understand how ladies like Empress and especially Blaine would be pissed off at Valkyrie based on her "superhero underdog" over the last two season. Great visual RP. What is next?! B17 vs AUSTIN LEE First time we've seen Lee in a long time. Bummed to see we get super el generico Lee but at least he's back. Again, not much to say about two very consistently great workers. B17 and Lee putting on what's gotta be the top match of the night thus far. The fucking blocked Bingo Punch into the Moon Boots popped me like nothing else. Both guys got all their signature stuff in and it was a classic match, one of the best this season me thinks. B17 nails his new elbow to finish it off! - More OtaKRU implosion. Bray is all over this show. Seem's a lot more serious this time down. Not a lot of dancing going on. All business. Woah, Bray breaking the 4th wall and shooting on Betamax. Damn. This is more than an implosion. Working in the obvious 'Tista references. More funny than serious video all in all, more good work from Bray here mixing it up from the usual written word. - Wow. Very impactful promo from Dragana. Much emotions. I've always been attached to Dragana as a character but these recent introspective "that's deep" RPs have me hooked. I'm definitely looking forward to this new evolution of the character. ARIES VS JACOB TRANCE What a way to cap off a show. This had to have been one of my favorite Turmoil's of the year. The card was perfect, building up, each match better than the last. the RPs were well spread and easy to read, nothing dragged on too long and this match... hoo boy this match. I think the awe in my voice in commentary speaks for itself. Between the huge spots, the massive moments, the kickouts, the competition and the sheer ability for both guys to do all brawl things to really drive home how much they hate each other. Two HOF with great chemistry. Easily one of the best (if not the best) match on any Riot or Turmoil this season. Sucks it didn'tr eally have an ending... which actually confuses me as to whom gets to choose the stipulation now between Wrex and Trance?! Oh well, that match is going to be phenomenal either way. RPOTN: A dead tie between Dragana's late show RP and the clusterfuck beat down of Valkyrie between Blaine, Moore and Empress. MOTN: Easy. Main event. Next. CERTIFIED GREATNESSSSSSSSSSSSS ps send me your matches plz thx

That should just about do it.

I'm not spamming, you're spamming.

Hi there page 2

Quartz do slam slam, no like stretch

THIS! So much this.

5 takeaways 1. Mark Reese is an old-school wrestler with a great slammy moveset and a very positive face character with a lot of potential. He's proven he's got what you need in terms of a look and in-ring work, but now we need to see more writing. Decent pre-match promo from him here - again, very old school. Once we get some more insight into his character, we have a star on our hands. 2. The Cesars really don't get the love they deserve in the writing department. Very vivid and creative work from Dragana and namely Johnny Law here. Drago's may go creatively underappreciated because a lot of his work is in the humor side of P3 these days, but you can really see how great it comes out when Dragana's more serious writing is put at the forefront. It only serves to help the segment when Valkyrie is in on it too. Two of the best we have in OCW. 3. Empress' new entrance is amazing. Her segments have needed a little more nuance but this show really shined for Empress. In a show with an odd main event and kind of a weird vibe, I think Empress really took the opportunity (along with Ashley) to make herself stand out. I really enjoyed the swerve segment with Belle too. 4. Code Jackman and B17's blood feud could continue through CG but likely will split their separate ways after the #1 contender's match. It's good to see two people who haven't been involved in the world title picture getting involved and a #1 contenders match in a blood feud is a fantastic transition. With only 4 names near that CCW top-card spot, I'm interested for maybe 2-3 people to get more involved up there. Bray and Jehst are two names that come to mind that have the ability and the platform to do so, they may be next! 5. Belle's ringwork is very solid for someone as new as her. Her matches are very fast paced and her moveset is energetic and fun to watch, just like her CAW. Great match and good to see FloJo back in the ring, despite me being bummed out that she's shifting a bit away from her old persona (pun definitely intended). Focusing on this new less energetic, more focused underdog could be the boost she needs! The road to CG continues!

What a fucking stipulation in that Trance match!

Be careful who you're talking to like that. I'd hate to cause FAME to experience more "technical difficulties".

I've said it from the day I came into OCW with this very woman (who seems to finally be coming to her senses): H2O is nothing but an asshole burden on OCW and should be taken out once and for all! Glad to see you and I are on the same page finally.

I always get nervous with newcomer promos because they can fall into overdone/cliche territory, but a nice introduction! Had 3 good things new characters need. 1. Have a precense 2. Establish a character goal. (Prove he belongs) 3. Splash of something unique. (Elbow) Looking forward to more. Not mindblowing but didn't have time be

Yeah, take it from Pugh. He knows all about not doing his job properly.

Cowboy Quartz is undefeated!!! YEEEEEHAWWWWW. Holy shit that Valkyrie segment. I was expecting innocence coming into that video package and then BOOM FOREARMS FOR EVERYONE. Strangely divisive heel turn(?). I still don't know who to cheer for! BUT I WANT MORE OF THIS. Bray top notch video work as always.

You heard the man, forum.

The voice of OCW returns for a review of sorts! - I hope all of you enjoyed the RIOT intro. Probably my 2nd favorite hype video I've made this season outside of the Clash one. - AC is ALWAYS fantastic and is always aware of his character to the point of embarrassing himself for entertainment purposes. I wasn't the megafan for this one that I was for the others but very fun way to open the show. - Such a great RP. Most of it was Rust Cohle and it was just an amazing way for the character to get on the main stage when you fucking losers give me most of the credit of CQC for no reason. - Mistico being a beautiful example of how to do a show. If you're booked? Have a fucking presence. Not only did he have a presence, he put together a well written angle to further his middling character development. Awesome. MATCH: AC vs Mistico The match was good. It really was. I didn't have too many gripes with the in-ring style. AC still has some stuff to clean up, but you can tell he's really improved since early season. - IT'S CLEARLY MAKEUP YOU FUCKING MARKS - Rust staying consistent developing the Aisu character. I love it! The segment itself was average, but the fact it furthers the story and Aisu is great. More more more. - This show... This show shows why Bobby Minio is a god amongst humans when it comes to solo-RPs. This was a starter to an incredibly genius series of RPs. - Buddy, don't be a perv. - I love the collaboration on the Aerith/Dragana/Ashley RP. I've always said these types of intertwining RPs give the fed as a whole more life and make it feel like we're all in the same place. Ashley doing a phenomenal job both with consistency (the same angle week to week) and with writing in general. Easy as fuck winner of most improved for Season 14 right now. MATCH: Diaz vs Rust Cohle There's nothing like being in a tag team man. The whole match I was in my fifis like watching a ME of my favorite wrestler. I was shooting for Rust Cohle so hard. It was a blast to watch. Pep has a great theme/attire despite being simple. He rushes A LOT. Like A LOT. Every reset doesn't have to be a rush. Rust with the PERFECT combo of BUCKSHOT + THIRD ALARM to win and give TTT another W. - Kass' 3 part series really diving into his nature and it perfectly combines HIS story... TTT's story... and the fact he's been nut shotting everyone. That's what makes it well done. MATCH: Doc vs Buddy Not much to say about this match. Similar styles from both, no FPR bidness (a welcome theme on this show) keeping me in it the whole time. Fuck Doc Green and his stupid fucking friend. Chairshots for all. - H2O Stealing my thunder again with his movie-like promo. Just fantastic work tying in Harvey Ocean Future and not leaving him to die. If you're going to do an angle that's risky or controversial, at least go into it and don't quit on it because it's not received well. I enjoyed the shit out of this, tying in Inception and kinda making Harvey seem like a good guy for once. - KD/Cyborg ain't shit! Well written angle to get the rivalry started that I didn't know what happening until later tonight! MATCH: VALK vs AERITH EXTREMISH RULES Valkyrie is awesome from a product standpoint, never ever compromising kayfabe/product over all because of stupid stipulations. No weapons used because why would they be? I love Aerith so much. I wish she was more active, but these little part time matches give me my fix. Just a good match from an in-ring perspective. The brawl outside was fun and the back and forth gave me the fill I needed. VALK IS THE BEST! - FloJo going away from the typical weirdness she's displayed by showing some concern for Dragana here. I wonder what will come of it? - Thrace cutting a classic territorial promo, establishing himself and making us not forget who he is. As time goes, he will have more burn, but this is a great way to keep the eyes on him going forward. MATCH: Tre vs Antonio Antonio picking up the DQ W after a short match. Quick notes, outside of having the 3rd rate Black Phoenix as his fin, his moveset is spot on. - Bobby continues his greatness by furthering his single night masterpiece. This show felt like a PPV and this was one reason why. - We're facing the Inception?! OH HEAVENS ME! - Telos has done a great job the last few weeks with in-ring promos and this is no different. His involvement with other wrastlers brings real validity to his Pride title claims. Interested to see where this goes. - This RP was awesome. I'm not being negative in this review, not because I'm being lame, but because there's no precedent! The show is amazing! There are so many lines in this that scream wrestling and so many that fill the area with drama. The lovable Valkyrie showing more of her human side with this one, sticking it to Ashley and Sensation and showing some unhinged personality traits by STILL claiming she's the hero, despite being unhinged. Valkyrie is amazano. Fuck anyone who doesn't think so. - P3. I have no words. Keep entertaining me. - This video with Matsuda and Kass had me dying for a good 10 minutes. I was crying real tears at the comedic timing of everything. Furthers the Suda/P3 angle and also gets Kass back in the mix to BEAT SOME MORE DICKS. - Dupree with a super serious promo to break things up. Dupree has always been one of my favorite characters in OCW, was my 2nd fave behind Pugh when I got to OCW and this is the reason why. He's a brilliant writer. Establishing reasons and wit behind his angles. They're not nonsensical or rambling. They fit into the overarching theme of RIOT right now and it's just great. - This fucking video from Bray is amazing. I know personally how much work this took to do and he deserves to be commended for it. Furthering the Bray/Blacksmith ordeal and having so many great attitude era-like moments. MATCH: H2O vs Mugen w/ Lumberjacks This match was fucking all over the place. Mugen and H2O didnt' seem to know whether to use the jacks as a help or avoid them altogether. The battle between the in-ring competitors and the jacks was the story, although I don't think it worked as well as it should have. It felt very 1999 WCW with the ref blatantly ignoring DQ worthy shit. Jacks shouldn't be in the ring unless the ref is bumped. Took me out of it. The pure chaos aspect was a lot of fun regardless. RP of the night - Bobby's series, don't @ me. Match of the night - Strange, but in terms of in-ring work, Pep vs Cohle. A lot of rushing but the heel work was great. The desperation was there and the finish was top notch.

the rookies is hype #letsgo

You're like the baby I never wanted. Time to put you down like I did 9 months ago.

Yeaaaah more secret warz

A grounded DDP, that sounds like a straight punch. Brutal, but well deserved. Enjoy, "Our Hero"

First! Fuck you Cobra!
