YAKE PRESENTS: A 'TOTALLY BETTER THAN AGNES' REVIEW' REVIEW OF TTT PRESENTS: OCW PRESENTS SUPER TURMOIL + ULTRA; some companies still know how business is done TTT Page 1 Promo: "...The Blue Shell" TTT runs page one. Don't you forget it. No schtick here. Cornette style. From all the video work inter-cut with great mic skills, this one was just fun to read back even though I already knew what happened. I just caught Pugh's "Does that blue streak mean you're pregnant, son?" joke the 2nd time around. Too many good lines to mention. Enter Cort: "I saw him throw a full pot of coffee at an intern's head." Meta/internal jokes work super well when even people who aren't in on the joke can laugh. Followed around the back. Cort building on his injury angle in a good way. Disappearing is the usual ticket but Cort doesn't want us to forget he HATES Shepard. PSA: C-Community: I am beyond blown away at Cort's embrace of the angle. This is what makes rivalries and stories flow so naturally, when you can take your previous angle directly into your new one. It really brings out life and immersion rather than 'okay we're done, onto the next angle'. With this seeming to shame B17 into a bad place... Well, we'll get to that. MJF RP: "2019 will belong to M.... J.... F...." Great lines throughout. Have always enjoyed MJF promos. Seems to get lost in the first page, but it shouldn't be. The notice from previous matches connects us to the universe and adds - yeah b - immersion. He is a real person that remembers what happened to him in this universe. The only thing that undercuts the great line "No, I'm asking. Who is scheduled to stand across from me?" is the match itself. Sad! MATCH: Telos vs MJF - 1/5 1 out of 5 because you just can't end a match like this. His moveset and intrigue make me give it one star, but to not only try to win off a pick up fin, but to also win off of a blatant FPR break is, well, heartbreaking for someone who loves the MJF character and the writing and wanted him to succeed. I hope Telos' reputation isn't damaged by this, because yea, he got his ass kicked, but c'mon. This never should have made it to TV. Both competitors will bounce back and this will be forgotten, so no big deal... Unfortunate start to the in-ring action. Yeah, there was some good match stuff outside of FPR break, but when this happens, that's all it'll be known for and that's all it deserves to be known for. Hopefully 2019 will belong to F..... P..... R..... Grad Party: "A tortilla? Really?" Damian coming out swinging after I came at his fucking neck for the last 2 months. This type of content should carry Turmoil going forward from Bournistico and other rookies/soph. No craziness, no fucked up structure or broken Morrison Method... just a straight forward, fun, entertaining RP to set up the night. P3 Escape Room Bonanza: "79 PERCENT OF 0 IS STILL 0." Quick maths. P3 is always entertaining, B17 adding himself to the equation adds some fun to the mix. I'm with Cort though... I pride myself with knowing more OCW lore than I should, but I don't know this Mugen/B17 financial situation. I probably should! The lines are all good enough and they set up for one of the most devastating returns I've seen in a long, long time. Uncrowned/Coolidge: "I’ll show CQC that they messed with the wrong lads" Shouts to Uncrowned (especially Doc) and Coolidge for being pleasures to work with. Won't comment on the quality of my own shit. thankyoufuckyoubye. C-Community 2: "Is he that one guy? Looks flamboyant?" Jackman making his presence felt even further with more promo work. This time cutting a great heel promo. We didn't see any work from Hendrix tonight (huge fucking bummer) but Jackman keeps him in mind and keeps his name fresh, being the consummate professional worker he is. Nothing fancy, just a quick read. MATCH: Code Jackman vs Hendrix® - 3.25/5 Keith Hendrix moveset and general fluidity in the ring impresses the shit out of me considering he hasn't done anything in OCW. He has a very good base to build on and I love LOVE LOVE that entrance. Keep that energy, rookie. Jackman.... SO many rough to watch moments. You play against B17 and bring that heat and here you were a MESS. Parkering, wasting revs, getting frustrated, totally botching a mid-move opportunity. We expect better from the leader of the C-Community. Luckily for us, this was the lowest point of your night. Your other content was very fun. Dillinger/Tayy/ - No comments Terra/Alyssa - No comments Damian and Benji bully the youngin': "Yu got a lot to learn boi" Despite him hating my guts, I enjoyed this RP as far as Benji is concerned. He actually stole the show in this one. It is awesome to see Asher get involved too. He has a good character and gimmick and would be fun if he put the work in. Damian was here but this was easily his least impactful performance. No knock on him, but Benji stole the spotlight. I have the suspicion he left the quotation marks around his own dialogue to be a sarcastic dick to me (since I recommended he leave them off his RPs) but other than that nit-pick, another entertaining fill promo. Cort Career Suicide: "We lost... you know what, just play the video." Oh. My. God. I don't think I have ever laughed as hard as I did when I clicked play. As soon as "Piano Man" started, I almost pissed my pants. It's interesting to me how simple this idea was yet how unbelievably funny and well done the premise was. The video obviously won my heart, but the little cutting between ring and backstage was well done too. I could imagine this in my head, which is always what you want in an RP. Ashley and Valkyrie get Acquainted: "What is this? A Youth Hostel?" One of my favorite lines on the whole show. I find this dynamic between the two totally fascinating, if because nothing else, we get to see Valkyrie in her most "Sarah" form. Away from traditional style promos, you can see her become less cartoon super hero and more human. She has her quirks and flaws and isn't perfect and it adds to it for me. This plays out further in the Clark Effect. Ashley has been this pampered child who has been knocked down to earth and her quiet sadness about this has hit me hard. I feel for her character in a way I never thought possible. More more more. Drago and Jim Black: "I'm don't need tomfoolery to get where I am." Drago to me is a perfect mix of talent and humility. His character's love-ability comes from his unbelievable skill and ability to kick ass every single night, then to come out and ignore that urge to gloat and instead have fun with his friend Mugen instead. This type of promo plays in my head perfectly, as a guy who really doesn't want to be in the spotlight and even when forced just downplays everything and just wants to enjoy himself. I don't know how you can hate Drago Cesar as a babyface. MATCH: Drago vs Spider - 3/5 The match itself is not a 3/5, but I can't give a squash too high of a rating. The story telling was there, but more just to have Drago kick the shit out of the Spider Who Laughs. Drago and Spider don't have awkward moments in the ring, when I watch so it's at least a 3, but I wish it was somewhat competitive this go-round. I could be biased because of my excitement to watch this one when I saw it on the card. These two are both super entertaining to play against and given a different scenario, it would have been a better match. You know what they say... No Redos, Bubba. Damian and Thrace: "I'd assume you're* Damian Bourne?" The line of the RP was probably unintentional but fits into the earlier thing Damian did with pretending he was the shit and talking down to rookies. It is very funny for a new guy to talk to Damian as if he was a well-known OCW star. Intentional or not, I enjoyed it. Great work from both guys, just makes me shake my head continually, seeing what Damian is capable of and that he got so pissy when we all said we wanted to see it. Anyways, Thrace, we all know he's a great writer, coming from his RP fed. One thing though, and you made this mistake TWICE, once in each instance. Your = Possessive. IE "Your hand is bleeding." You're = You are. IE "You're an asshole." To come in as a rookie and a great writer and have grammar be my nitpick though, is a great start. H2O and Heather in NYC: "You can never be too sure in NYC streets." While not Harvey's best RP performance, it answered questions I had about Heather following LN and kept the world Shampion involved. I was interested in how the Heather/Furiosa angle would continue to develop or if it would be Katie Vick'd. Luckily, Doc knows how to work angles and wouldn't just forget about it as if it never happened. Moreover, he took it up a notch by involving the back and forth relationship with Harvey. CQC Match - No comments FloJo Suspended: "(Drago voice): My name is Drago and I hunt and shoot arrows very gud. Yeah." I would like to see more imagery with FloJo going forward. It's been a common theme in her RPs. There have been some that really have stuck out (Devil's Night post-match for example) but I just couldn't get there with this one. I will say that Gooch has done a much better job narrowing down the character and making her into a person that we can imagine, but still needs some work. I skipped over FloJo RPs last season, this time around, I'm interested in the development because it takes small strides each time. I am interested to see how this suspension angle continues to play out. Cort Drives an S10: Short Marshall delivers a short, yet needed RP. This is a good example from Cort of how to do multiple RPs per show. Keep them succinct and force them to continue the story. I can ask "if this wasn't here, would it make sense" and in this sense, the answer is no. Good job in that sense, even if there's no memorable lines. Everett Saves The Day: "We're not finished!" Doc is one of the most active rookies I've seen in a while and I am happy to admit he took the front in this angle. I don't want to comment on the quality of my own stuff, but since Doc wrote most of the frame for this, I read it initially and hardly had to change anything. I love the idea of it and it works on such a fundamental pro-wrestling level. We did make a few writing mistakes with confusing steel chair placements, but outside of that, I loved Docs idea to put his foot down with the champions while also furthering an existing feud. MATCH: Bournistico vs OtaKRU - 3.5/5 This match looked boring and squash worthy early, with Bates being torn apart and Bray meeting his match as well. Damian and Mistico are a well oiled machine as a tag team (as expected) and I was happy to see they were way less of a nightmare to play on TV than they were in DMs. Good looking tag moves and such. There were I think 2 moments where they broke up moves like lame assses, but it wasn't really impactful in the grand scheme. The real savior of this match was Bray after his comeback later in the match. He went on like a 5 minute ass kicking frenzy and actually dealt a strong amount of damage to both competitors. I hated Bray's character and move-set initially, but he's started to grow on me as this underdog figure. Great job by Bore-Mistihoe. I have no opinion of the Cosplay attire. I AM glad it was RP'd into existence instead of being another random erratic attire change. C4Ever!: "See me out there kid?" In this instance, the line I picked was more about the impact it made on the emotions elicited from the RP than about humor. This RP is way more impactful after the show's end, but reading it back makes me enjoy it even more than the first time. Pugh treating our most charismatic OCW star like a child and Minio showing a rare weakness around someone he respects adds an element of character for both that new guys (and possibly old) can certainly appreciate. Shit like this keeps the characters from being cliche robots and shows you they're human. Bobby is still the king of RPs, but Pugh is still the GOAT in OCW. Blain's Roadhouse: "Eeeeeeehhhh...." No! Dragana! I suppose time will tell if this goes anywhere, but it was a fun, albeit random ride. I have been overthinking things since being castrated by the veterans about my work into trying to see the overarching/long-term need for RPs and what they mean in the long run, but sometimes establishing the type of character you're dealing with is more important. Besides, this was just a fun break from the depth and angles to remember we've had so far. TLB Shoots on Drago: "to take darkness in a place where light should be protagonist." Angus was 100% right about this line. There's something disarmingly poetic about it that works in the promo. I do love TLBS as a "streak breaker" character, and while there's a 0% chance he'll ever beat Drago, the angle works and keeps the character arc going in a familiar direction. Sidebar - I feel like it's fun to see these promos from Matteo. In a world where I expected his quality to suffer as a non-native English speaker, it's oddly enthralling to see his character exhibit the same kind of unique struggle with English. His misunderstanding of English - not on a spelling or grammatical level - but just on a basic sentence structure level, adds a level of character that can't be captured by an English person pretending to be that. It works for me and so long as we understand him and his intent, I think he should keep this monologue/poetic style up. The dude is Italian and I imagine TLBS as an Italian character who is not contained or typecast because of it. He's a weird asshole who is Italian, he's not THE Italian guy, if that makes sense. Anyways, the promo was good, I just felt the need to add that layer. MATCH: Mugen vs Bingo Bomber - 4/5 Sometimes, you just want to turn off your hyper-critical brain and enjoy two men beating the fucking shit out of each other. That's what you get here. The difference between this 26 minute bloodbath and a normal hardcore match is that these two know where spots belong and they know how to keep you interested. It didn't feel contrived or forced and it had my attention the whole 13 minutes. (#WatchOn2xSpeedDummies) The Clark Effect: Valk/Ashley: "Half of you masturbate to my matches." This was surreal for me. I have not yet seen Valkyrie show such non-goodie two shoes personality traits. She is leaving herself plenty of room to move here, too. Even when she exhibits heel behavior, I find myself agreeing with her... "Yeah! People are stupid and don't appreciate you!" Ashley continues to creep into the underdog as the OCW underdog herself starts to get into wince category by mentioning her own nicknames and calling out her fans. I'm nervous. Don't break my heart Valk. Telos, Cobra, Dillinger: "Not cool, gamers." I know you're not speaking to me Terrence, but I'd like to thank you for approving this RP. It was hilarious in all the right ways and worked for all characters. Won't comment further, because I am Dillinger. TJ: http://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/E1VlfL496ZzeBizEIeIwUA--~A/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjtzbT0xO3c9ODAwO2lsPXBsYW5l/http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/movie-news/4e83bad0-c1c9-11e3-b812-f709edc55f29_2048_SayAnything.jpg Cort and Damian Vandalize: "You want spray paint, I got spray paint. So $20." The level in which that line fits both of your characters is great. More quality Damian Bourne shit, this time working with an established handler, proving he can do that too. Excellent stuff that furthers Cort's rivalry. MATCH: Lee vs Aries vs Trance - 4.5/5 Yeah, I could not disagree with Cort more. I said it initially, this was one of the best (albeit brief) displays of showmanship in the ring I've seen. It told such a great story. From the jump where Aries and Lee teamed up and Trance fended the two off to the initial sneaky quick pinfall. It's gotta be said that these 3 do multimans very... ethically. Very rarely if ever do they attack each other RIGHT off of a move without giving fair space first. Aesthetically it looks good imo to not watch ambush after ambush all match. Aries and Lee interrupting the fall and then exchanging strikes was a very fun exchange. I wanted to see the end, but the real end was even better. Just when I think Damian and Mistihoe were gone for the night, they make a STATEMENT against the champs, who are coming off of a match where they were not on the same page. Then Wrex, who apparently has the greatest hair growth supplements known to man, ambushes Trance. Nobody was left out and everyone pushes their potential rivalries. I have to complain about Wrex' hair or I wouldn't be consistent. There's no way he's growing that hair out in a 3-4 week span. Small thing, but I don't think it loses anything to retain slightly shaven Wrex instead of bald Wrex. Then again, OCW is anime! Valkyrie and Belle: Explanation out of not being able to schedule most likely. I can appreciate the effort to add a reason for the match not happening instead of it just vanishing from the card. Tayy/Jim Black - No comments. Jehst and Capo: "What the hell did I do to make you go 'Benny from Total Recall' on me?" I said it before, Jehst and Capo cut a perfectly old-school "wrestling" promo here, complete with lady manager in the ring. Was interesting to me to see Capo continue - pretty much the same approach to the OCW universe and his friend, but based on actions alone, his words were received differently. Some may consider the revelation that Capo owned the studio the whole time a buzzkill in terms of the Jehst/Archer feud, but he was able to salvage it with the destruction. Keeps it from being a simple happy ever after. Jehst is quality no matter what. C-Community 3: These videos are fresh and fun. I have been doing this shit for 10+ years so I know how annoying it can be to make these videos. Adds a meta level of respect for Code. IC, Code continues to deliver on the show, turning the C-Community brand into almost more than it was as the B-community. Shep finds his car: "Cort Wuz Here" Oh yes he was. One way or another, eh Cort Marshall? MATCH: The Greatest Of All Time vs H2O - 3.75/5 Pugh had several times throughout the night where he was in control for decent stretches, but as far as an OCW match goes, he never felt "in control" the way Harvey did. H2O's moveset is always fitting and impressive, my favorite instance of which being his flurry of kicks mid-way through the match that made me feel the pain. Pugh was able to comeback in the end, leaving me some hope that he'd bury the shampion, but the distraction by Bobby Minio caused just the space Harvey needed to finish him. Quality match, as expected from each competitor. Can't clip the 4* mark just yet, because it did feel like H2O held the control throughout. (and I didn't get to see a fucking Pedigree.) Bobby entering the fray took me off guard. The reason this was an awesome finish is because of the way it was executed from a build up and a lead in standpoint. The RP earlier made me believe that Bobby was going to hop in 1 of 2 directions. 1. Lash out at Pugh, sparking a feud between two of the best writers we've ever seen in OCW 2. Take C4 side and go after the belt, leading to a re-ignition of the amazing H2O/Boob feud we got last season. Instead, I was thrown through 10 loops to find that my new adversary is Bobby Fucking Minio. It was a perfect twist and adds a 3rd man to The Inception as they (are going to fail) attempt to bring down TTT. Whew. Great job everyone. Match of the night: Aries, Trance, Lee 3-way: Hey man, I'm a sucker for that ring-awareness and that showmanship as far as storytelling goes. The ending solidified it for me easily as the best match of the night. Biggest Impact: Code Jackman/Damian Bourne This was tough between the two, but I gave it to each of them. I know other people filled Damian's promos but this is an important step for him and I hope that energy continues. Segment of the Night: Cort Marshall Career Suicide I'm still laughing, right now.

Worst FPR break of the season, not even close. My review is partially typed up. Give me some time, you suit! Quick and early thoughts just from memory of last night - BoreMistihoe RPs are entertaining and hats off to him getting into a feud - Wrex' hair grows back super fast - only one bad match in the whole night (MJF/Telos) - Hendrix moveset is awesome! Good win! - Jackman and the C-community might be the winners of the show. All of that content was amazing - Funniest/most entertaining segment was Cort's Career Suicide video to me. So simple yet so hilarious - Jehst/Capo are the epitome of Cornette style quality promos - A lot of collaborative promos on the show, more than I'm used to seeing - The ring work/aesthetically pleasing match of the night and is probably going to be underrated was that triple threat between Austin Aries and Trance. So many great spots and you cannot tell a story with a match better than they did before all the madness started. - If B17 is dead then I'm officially pissed off. If not, then weird cameo. 26 minute deathmatch but they kept trying to one up each other and continue to murder. This is the type of match that puts you out for weeks - FUCK YOU BOOBY! TTT >>>> - Valkyrie went as heel as I've ever seen in that Clark Effect. More in the in-depth review. This show deserves one!

Clever transition with the Trash can line to a TTT member. Where has this Damian been all my life?

TTT Presents: Super TTTurmoil + Ultra was a smash hit! You weren't kidding when you said it was basically a PPV. I have so many lines I want to shout out right now, but page 2 page 2

I am 3 minutes into this video and it's the greatest thing I've ever seen. What the fuck is Drago wearing? What a journey. More of this please.

Regularly scheduled programming!? YEEEE Also- FIRST

Was a very small thing. Overall the attires are great as always, I certainly preferred the DN attire, but it's not like it ruined the match or anything. and let your client know I'm coming for his neck

Don't forget to smash that like button, ocw

A large door clicks open. The sounds of murmuring between businessmen suddenly come to a halt. Dennis Dillinger bursts through the opening in the door with a focused look on his face. He peers around at his subordinates with a confused look on his face. The men remove their Bluetooth headsets and stare him down. His brisk pace slows more and more until he comes to a complete stop. Dillinger: What the hell are all of you looking at? Dillinger peers up to his main assistant, Kent. Dillinger: Kent? What is happening? Kent: Uhm. Sir. Dennis, Uhm. You have a visitor. Dillinger: Oh god. Telos scared you sissies again, huh? The crafty businessman regains his stride working towards his office before another assistant, Dan, interjects. Dan: ... It's not Telos. He's at the arena. Dillinger pauses at his office door and turns to look at his entire office. He looks left and right slowly to gauge the seriousness of the room. All 15+ of his subordinates are staring at him, some sweating nervously. Dillinger stops for a tense moment and grabs his lapels, letting out a hearty laugh. Dillinger: Hahahah! You cowards will panic at anything. Jesus. Dillinger throws open the door. Dillinger: I mean, it's not like I--- His sentence is abruptly cut off as he sees a man kicked back in his office chair. His feet are resting on the front of the large desk... His hands resting behind his head. Tayy Breizee: Sup, Dennis? Dillinger stands stunned. Tayy: What? You think that dumb brute woulda hurt me so bad I'd forget where your office was? Tayy moves his feet from the desk and leans forward. He flicks the name plate off the front of the desk and it bounces off of the carpet below. Tayy: You ain't that dumb, man. Dillinger: What the hell are you doing in my office? Tayy: Well, to be honest man, I'm here to take it all in one more time before I redecorate. Dillinger stands frozen at his door, his hand steadily on the knob. Tayy: ...Because I'm not the same Tayy you met in that club 2 years ago. Tayy: I'm a new man, Denny. That's thanks to you. I love my beautiful fans, bruh. I would never leave them hanging with no Tayy wayy. Dillinger: You... You can't hurt me, I'll take everything you -- Tayy: Everything I have left. Right? That's what you was gonna' say? Maaan, I ain't concerned about that protection order right now. Tayy Breizee stands from the desk and walks around it with his hands behind his back. Tayy: You thought you took Taylor Bryce down for good with that little contract you signed... but I done spoke to Jaysin Sensation. We good. Dillinger tenses up and looks towards the door as Tayy walks closer and closer. Tayy: I want you to understand how hard it was. How hard it was to recover from a torn rotator cuff. How hard it was to lift things above my head for a month. How hard I fought in my own home to try and get by why you stole my money. Dillinger: I stole nothing. That contract was legally binding. You were in the same courtroom I was. Tayy: Hah. You right, Denny. Tayy halts his progress and begins walking towards the window, looking at his hands. Tayy: ...but my fans ain't dumb, bruh. They know who you are now. Tayy: I done told them... No more old Tayy stuff. That's why you're hemorrhaging money right now from my side. Tayy: Your biggest mistake in that court room was allowing Tayy Breizee to live. Tayy turns around to face Dillinger, who has opened the door. Dillinger: KENT! DAN! GERALD! GET IN HERE! The 3 men rush in confused and panicked, Dillinger backs behind them. Dillinger: I've heard enough of your bullcrap, you thug. Get him out of here, boys. The three men hesitate while looking at Tayy, who stands calmly, almost laughing. Tayy: Dennis, you know I ain't got no protection order against these 3 clowns. After hearing the words the three men back away, leaving Dillinger back at the front as Tayy once again approaches right up to Dillinger and looks up to the tall talent agent with a small grin. Tayy: You may a' thought I was gon' disappear. Nah. Imma make your life a living hell as much as I can within your own legal limitations. Tayy walks by Dillinger towards the door and pauses... The 3 assistants scatter out of the way as he walks by and he shouts one last shot before he leaves. Tayy: Telos can't protect you forever. Imma bust his ass quick! Dillinger stares at the door as Tayy exits the building, shaking with rage.

Big shouts to you guys. I'm looking forward to more great stuff going forward in OCW.

A bright white smile and excited shrieking opens the scene backstage at Ladies' Night 2018. Terra Daturas, walking backstage following her surprise win over Kat, is bouncing down the halls in excitement. Tiny utterances of "Yes!" squeak through the teeth of the OCW harbinger of peace. Terra: Eugepae! Terra: Yesyesyesyesyesyaaaaay! Terra continues to bounce around, wiping her sweaty forehead, moving her hair to the side in the process. Terra: I did it! I can't believe it! I am so happy. I can't wait to get back to my resting area and water my helianthus! Terra's shrieking attracts the attention of nearby staff members, who are annoyed by her noises of excitement and joy and exit the area promptly. Terra sees the two staff members react to her excitement and she tries to calm herself down. She stops bouncing and takes deep breaths through her wide smile as she subtly skips through the halls and whispers to herself. Terra: I hope my brothers and sisters here in OCW will want to talk to me now that I have won a match... Only Valkyrie's warm heart has been open to me so far. The nature lover pauses momentarily in the hall and her smile subsides slightly. Terra: I've tried to decorate with nature's bliss... I've even tried offering free homemade food. I've tried, Mater Natura...... I really have. Terra: ...I surely don't wish to be a burden... Terra: ...But this is a dangerous place. I bet they're just not used to love being embraced. I know they'll come around! Terra's smile once again regains it's life as she makes her way to her designated locker area. As she approaches, her skipping becomes more slowed and her smile turns to curiosity. She closes her eyes and begins to sniff the air, as if attempting to identify the smell. Terra's eyes open wide suddenly as a look of confusion overcomes her. Terra: ...Char? Ember? Fumus? Terra hastily approaches her door as the nametag has been partially torn off. She slowly opens the door to investigate and immediately begins to swell up with sadness. The camera follows inside to see a scene of destruction. Several indoor gardens have been broken into and destroyed. The flowers inside have been mostly burned to a crisp. The smell overcomes Terra as the camera turns to see her devastated face, tears rolling down her cheeks. She finds her purple bag turned inside out and ripped, her belongings scattered throughout the room. She walks over to a large indoor garden, which seemed to have functioned like a miniature greenhouse. The lamp has been broken and twisted and the glass holding the flowers inside is scratched at. Terra (sniffling): ...but why? helianthus... Terra reaches inside to see the charred remains of a baby sunflower. As she touches it, it immediately breaks down into ash. Terra turns around, her makeup running as she tries to hold back more tears. As she looks up on the wall, she sees large black paint on the wall spelling something out. Terra (sobbing): "Go... Back... To... The... Woods..." Terra pauses for a moment before reading the final scathing word written on the wall. Terra (sobbing): "...Freak of Nature?" Terra wipes tears from her eyes and tries to hold strong. Terra: lusus naturae? The camera awkwardly exits the locker room as Terra Daturas once again finds herself in tears, picking up what remains of the mess that's been made in contempt of her.

The inside of what appears to be a large showing room of a movie theater is revealed. It is very large and very clean. There is not a drop on the walls or floors. The ground is a light black concrete, sparkling from the condition. The camera continues to zoom, showing more of the completely empty theater. The walls and seats are decorated in a soft red cloth like material. Seen is a large white canvas where the movie is likely to be screened. A sudden flicker sounds and a beam of light shines bright on the canvas. No advertisements, no trailers... Just a beam of light. The sounds of the camera fades and the sounds of grunts and a impacts are heard. Once more, the camera slides over to see the once empty theater now occupied by one man, seated in the center of the theater. He's blinking slowly with his arms crossed and his boots kicked up on the seat in front of him. Each blink draws the view closer and closer until his face is shown clearly. Squinted eyes, as if in deep thought. Motionless lips. Unkempt, short beard. White camouflage pants. His right eye almost glowing with the scarlet red seen before in an OCW ring. Inness Quartz. The scene immediately cuts to the picture being played on the movie screen. ???: Hmph! A large black punching bag is struck by a thin, white taped hand. It's struck over and over. The sounds of impact increasing each time. The camera zooms out to see a much younger Quartz, with long, flowing blue hair. He continues to strike the bag before he is shouted at. Man: Isaiah? Quartz, pretending not to notice, continues to punch away. Man: Isaiah. The man becomes incessant. Man: ISAIAH! Quartz slams his hand one last time into the bag before the man grabs him by the shoulder. Quartz, who appears noticeably thinner and less tone than his present self, stops punching and holds his hand in the same position, clinched into a fist. Man: You shouldn't be here, you know. You shouldn't be training. Quartz: ... Man: and? You went and dyed your hair? I like the look, buddy but that's not... Quartz turns around slowly and looks down at the older man, who seems to be somewhere in his 50's. Man: You look terrible kid. I'm real sorry. Quartz lowers his brow, seeming befuddled. Man: He wouldn't want you in here right now. You should be at home with Aunt Mar'. Man: ... I can't imagine how you must feel right now, but you know I'm as hurt as you. He was my brother. Quartz ears perk slightly when he hears "He", and he smirks with an inquisitive look on his face. WOOSH The image suddenly freezes in time and zooms back out to the movie theater to see Inness Quartz, whose focus is broken by the sound of loud crunching and erratic footsteps. Walking in with a comedically over-sized bucket of popcorn is OCW Tag Team Champion - present day Ijitu Quartz as we know him, sporting his PRISTINE SUNGLASSES and TTT branded jacket. Quartz plops down next to Inness and lets out a hearty belch before grinning up at the picture. He continues to chew with his mouth open before asking Inness a question. Ijitu Quartz: Whatcha watchin'? Inness Quartz: .... Ijitu Quartz: OH! I LOVE this one. Aha! Ijitu lifts his off hand and pretends to press a button on an imaginary remote control. WOOSH The sounds of his crunching arrogance melt away as the memory being shown on the big screen once again takes focus. The freeze frame of younger Quartz resumes as he asks the old man a question. Quartz: He? Man: Your dad. My brother. Don't be like this, please... Just go home and rest. Quartz leans in and squints before smiling at his uncle. Uncle Nik: Isaiah... Quartz: Ahhh Ah. No, no, no. Uncle Nik sighs at his nephew with tears in his eyes and grabs him in a hug. Quartz smile fades and a look of confusion and disgust takes it's place. Uncle Nik: I know... He didn't do this to you, buddy. He loved you. Quartz holds his hands in front of him, suspended in mid-air as the view zooms out, revealing others within the training area looking empathetic at the two men hugging. WOOSH The frame freezes once more, flashing back to the theater... which has now grown old and dark. The red on the walls and seats is faded and stained. Ijitu Quartz is nearly barreled over in his chair with laughter, he's since dropped the bucket of popcorn on the ground. Inness sits with a deeply saddened look beside him. Ijitu Quartz: Hahahahahah!!! You know what comes next don't you!! This is my favorite part! Inness Quartz: ...Don't you have somewhere to be? Ijitu, still laughing, holds up his empty hand. The OCW Tag Team championship fades in from top to bottom, eventually hanging down into Inness' seat. Ijitu Quartz: Where would that be!? Hahahaha! I've got what I came for, and Rusty wasn't half-useless this time around! Inness Quartz: Rustin has been by your side since before he met me. You shouldn't treat him like that. Ijitu Quartz wipes a tear from his eye sarcastically and looks in a more serious, directed manner towards Inness. Ijitu Quartz: Actually, you baboon. LAST time, I let my stupid self care about what happened to that French idiot and then you stormed in uninvited as always. Ijitu relents... Ijitu Quartz: Ehh, but you know what. TTT took me in and now we're running things around here. I think you need not concern yourself with my friendships. After all, your only friend is this guy. Quartz awkwardly points beside him to a suddenly present Intell Quartz, who is silently reading a large book. Inness Quartz: It's been 17 years now. You still can't see past your own ignorance. Ijitu Quartz: Oh well. I can see gold. That's all I need to see. Now shut the hell up. This is the best part. WOOSH The memory continues to play back from where it last left off. Quartz hands are still hanging by the side of his tearful Uncle, who still has him embraced in a hug. Quartz: Will you get the hell off of me? I'm trying to WORK here. As Quartz shouts the word 'work' he shoves his Uncle aggressively back, who looks devastated. Quartz ties his blue hair back and turns his back, scoffing and looking completely unimpressed by the display of emotion. Uncle Nik: ...You can't blame yourself for this Isaiah. Quartz: Sigh. Say that again, dude. Please. Uncle Nik: Isaiah, ple-- Uncle Nik attempts to grab Quartz once more... Quartz snaps around, punching his Uncle directly in the face, which drops him to the floor. He looks up at his nephew who shrugs at him. Quartz: I warned you, gah' dammit! Quartz begins stomping his Uncle on the ground repeatedly before onlookers rush over to pull him off. Quartz is pulled all the way back to a door and frees himself from the crowd. People inside the gym tend to Quartz beaten Uncle. Quartz: Isaiah is GONE! It's YOUR FAULT and it's your BROTHERS FAULT! GET OVER IT, BUB'! I'm taking care of him now. All of you did a shit job. I'm out. Quartz angrily grabs a black bag and removes a pair of sunglasses before flipping them onto his face and storming out of the front door... As he walks down the stairs, it's the same gym Inness and Ijitu observed a very young Quartz run inside in a previous memory. WOOSH Ijitu Quartz stands and stretches before attempting to walk out. Ijitu Quartz: Well, it was fun. You always do pick the funniest ones to trek back through. I'm out. I got better places to be. Inness Quartz looks down, never moving his head towards Ijitu Quartz. Ijitu walks towards the doors, but fades out into dust before reaching it. Inness deeply inhales and stands up... As he stands, the entire theater fades into dust in a similar fashion. He looks around the black abyss. Around the Mind of Quartz he's surrounded by and the view fades out entirely.

Good stuff. I hope we see more on the shows going forward. Don't forget to use the Morrison Method going forward. Names and actions are in bold text, dialogue is not. ie.---------------------------------------------------- Quartz slumps down in his computer chair and lets out an obnoxious burp, tapping his belly and raising his PRISTINE SUNGLASSES. Quartz: Let's see what they're saying about ME on the website... Quartz grabs the mouse and clicks on his face on OCW.com. Quartz: What!? How could you think that? welovefaces4245!? Quartz: I got something to prove now! ------------------------------------- This eliminates the need for the quotation marks around dialogue and the asterisks around the actions. Also much more pleasing to the eyes. (along with the fact that it won't be posted on TV unless it's in this format!) Keep it coming!
