Trevor McManus

*Trips covers his TV Title* Trips: You try it boy, I'll slap you back down. In fact I'll just pick off your whole crew one by one. One down six to go.

Any guy at all would be pleased to be in it not just new guys. A few established guys are not in it. Of course I am because I'm brilliant.

Without sounding queer I'd like to keep this short and sweet. Nick you are an absolute legend here and I've always looked up to you. People talk about Nate being amazing and he is but you were the one guy I most wanted to impress, I felt if I impressed you then I could impress anyone.

I retained I didn't win it so fuck you.

I wore black and white

A few people do reports a comment on things which take into account that we're using a video game. I try to write my report from the stance that we're a real fed rather than a couple of guys playing svr.

Personally I'm not too into it as I doubted if Smythe was a credible main eventer and I'd have liked to see him win clean if he was going to win. This way it takes away from his win if he did win because we don't know if it was a work. If it was a work then it sucks because we have to remember that we're a competitive fed first. Winning your first main title on a work is sucky.

I agree with that opinion. Although I liked the match the finish was a bit gay. Also the fact fausto hits a low blow when countering Smythe's ground grapple and does not get DQed kinda takes away from what they're going for.

Environmental Report Final Part Nate and Versus Promo: Bit of a heart to heart from these two. Talking about the past and how they carry around scars, Versus is upset with Nate and Nate expects him to understand. Good build up for both matches here and I got to say I’m looking forward to them. Air vs. CJ: Air’s entrance is great don’t know how to describe it but it’s great. I LOVE CJ’s gold attire. CJ shows Air that he’s come to fight for the title in the early going by putting together a chain of a few strikes and a chop which send Air to the mat followed up by a stomp to the gut. Air responds quickly by punching CJ in the gut a kicking him out of the ring. CJ’s rolling with a couple of shots to the kidneys but air comes back strong again with a dropkick to the face. CJ hits Air with a DDT for the first real impact move of the night and follows this up with a hurricanrana. CJ hits another big move throwing Air’s head against the mat and it looks like our champion is in trouble. Air returns with a few kicks and a submission hold though as he shows he’s not about to give up his title so easy. But CJ continues the pressure with a spinning heel kick and a standing moonsault, nice EX action here. Air brings it back to a more brutal level as he hits three harsh close lines. Air hit’s a big neck breaker showing that he can fly as well as the next EX competitor leaping into the air(no pun intended) and grabbing CJ’s neck, however the underdog counteracts this with a big flying elbow off the top and the first pin count of the night which Air kicks out of at two. Air looks to showcase his basic wrestling skills with a headlock takeover, not to be outdone CJ comes back with an arm drag which he follows up with a big fist drop. In the end it looks as though both competitors could win but Air gets those knees up in CJ’s face and it’s all over. After the match Reed comes out obviously pissed off that Air messed with the scales in order to cost him a place in the match, CJ tells Reed he was stupid not to follow underdog rule number one which we learned earlier is to know your opponent and counteract accordingly. Reed and CJ have an altercation allowing Air to slip out with his EX Title. Kage and Smythe Promo: Kage tells Smythe he will be an abomination to the OCW Title, I laughed. They have a little chat and as the scene fades they shake hands. Good build up to the two final matches of the night. Versus vs ???: I’m marking for Versus’ entrance and his t-shirt thingy, nice design. A selection of music plays as we await VS’ opponent including mine. Now when I heard my own music I marked thinking I was coming to the ring, I’m losing it I tell you, this is even funnier because I was joking with someone that I‘d be the one facing Versus but it‘s so well hidden I don‘t even know about it and just for a second there I thought it might have been but no Deano Horse comes to the ring to steal the moment that never was for me. Now I HATE the song Deano uses for his entrance but when it’s on his entrance I mark and when he does his stage crotch chop thing you can actually feel the energy haha. Versus starts off quick and hits an uppercut and goes for a quick cover but Deano kicks out in the nick of time at 2. Deano comes back with a few chops and an uppercut of his own which gets him a 2 count. Some good back and forth action as Versus hits what looks to be a fisherman suplex type move off the top rope, Deano comes back with a top rope arm drag. Deano gets a roll up on Versus who kicks out at 2. Deano puts Versus in a small package for another 2 count. Deano rolls Versus up for another 2 count. I tell you one of these times Versus will get caught with these quick pins. Versus is through playing around as he hit’s a brutal close line and locks in a boston crab, there’s been more boston crabs on this pay per view than you’d find in a hooker in the Boston area and strangely enough the hooker ha s abetter chance of gaining a submission because none of the boston crabs we’ve seen tonight have worked. (SIDENOTE: Versus does a punch while he’s being held in a grapple by Deano but again I’m sure it was a mistake) Versus drops Deano from the top rope with a big DDT. Versus had previously hit a big elbow on Deano while flexing his muscles, now Deano returns the favour hitting a series of elbows while flexing his hips in between. Deano catches Versus with a northern lights suplex and bridges for the pin but Versus stretches his foot to the ropes for the break. Deano immediately afterwards catches Versus with a fisherman suplex with a bridge but Versus manages to kick out at 2. Versus looks to be in trouble as Deano hits him with a german suplex, he follows this up with a triple suplex just for good measure. Deano hit’s a backdrop and goes for a cocky pin with his foot on Versus’ chest but the champ kicks out at 2 again. Deano looks for the win as he locks in a figure four but Versus breaks out of it. Versus hit’s a neck breaks off the top as he looks to get back on top. Versus looks for the finish with the dime bag drop but Deano reverses it pushing him away. Deano hits his spine buster and goes for the finish but Versus reverses. In the end Versus hits Deano’s own finisher and pins the excellence of sexellence to keep the CCW Championship. Smythe vs. Fausto: Even if you don’t like Smythe how can you not mark for this guys theme? Then we have Fausto, when that music hits it still send chills down my spine. Then we have a tiny svr loading screen, for shame this is a ppv main event you lazy fucks. Smythe comes out fast hitting Fausto with a chop but Guy blocks Smythe’s right hand and takes him down with a close line. Fausto goes for a quick win rolling Smythe up using the ropes for leverage but Smythe kicks out at 2. Smythe hit’s the right hand that Fausto blocked earlier and takes Guy down with an arm drag. Guy puts Smythe into the dreaded chinlock but Smythe breaks out. Guy knocks down Smythe and drags his boot across his face but Smythe comes back with a chop and a close line knock down. Many people doubted the so called “alpha-heel” but he’s doing pretty well so far. Fausto works Smythe with a nice headlock takeover but Smythe comes back crushing Guy in the corner and slamming his head against the mat. Smythe begins to play dirty choking Fausto on the ropes but Guy comes back dragging Smythe into the ring post. Smythe has been working over Fausto’s back with a backbreaker and a high angle backbreaker but Guy comes back grabbing Smythe by his hair and pulling him back across his knee for a backbreaker of his own. Guy kicks Smythe off the apron as it spills on to the outside, Smythe recovers and smashes Guy off the security barrier. Guy reverses Smythe’s finisher attempt on the outside and the fight goes back into the ring where Guy hit’s a Russian leg sweep on Smythe. Now here comes the controversy, Guy hits Smythe with a dirty low blow looking for the finisher but the referee calls for the bell ruling that Smythe is the new champion. Nate vs. Kage: Both guys entrances just equal markage. I’m not even going to review this match just watch history in the making.

Environmental Report Part 2 EA Promo: Something about Michael Bolton. It was well written but what did it mean? Malu vs. Nathan: Nathan starts strong as he’ll have to with a flying lariat, hit and move is what he’ll need to do, unfortunately he messes that up as he taunts for the crowd and Malu kicks his face off. He learns from this mistake and tags Malu with an arm drag and a quick close line. Thing with Malu is that he only needs one change and he’ll kill ya as Gaines finds out when a huge close line almost causes a severe case of being dead. Malu stays on Gaines as he hits a hard throat thrust which knocks Gaines across the ring. Gaines isn’t one for giving up though as he tags Malu with another couple of strikes before receiving a hard full nelson slam. Gaines gets back in Malu’s face and takes the big man down with a judo-like sweep move. Gaines knows he needs to keep the pressure on in order to hurt the big man and he grabs a sledgehammer which is thrust in Malu’s stomach. Any normal man would be done for but Malu isn’t normal and he gives as good as he gets with a HUGE slam. Malu shows Gaines he isn’t the only one who can use a sledgehammer as Malu hits Gaines in the gut with the very same hammer that caused Malu to fold over a few seconds ago. As if Gaines isn’t in enough pain Malu delivers a samoan drop and with that size of human falling on him Gaines has got to be in trouble. Gaines has to hit and move and he tries just that with an uppercut taking Malu down followed right away by a moonsault which Malu immediately powers out of. Malu hoists Gaines up and looks to power bomb him over the ropes but Gaines has enough strength left in him to fight his way out and counter with a neck breaker. Gaines goes to the chair that Malu brought into the ring earlier and hit’s the big guy in the face with it sending him to the mat. Gaines somehow shows great strength to turn Malu over for a boston crab but Malu is not going to tap to that and Gaines’ back becomes sore holding those big tree-trunks Malu calls legs so he must break the hold. Malu shows more strength slamming Gaines on the outside. Gaines gives as good as he gets with another chair shot. Gaines hits Malu with a series of three close lines followed by a knee drop as they take the fight back into the ring. Malu comes back with another powerful move, hoisting Gaines up on his shoulders before falling back causing obvious abdominal injury to Nathan. Malu brings the steps into the ring and signals for a move, Gaines still has some fight left in him as he whacks Malu with the chair one more time. Malu is nothing but power as he drops Gaines right on his head, how can he withstand so many chair shots? He’s not human. Malu delivers a sick power bomb on the steps and it has to be all over for Nathan. Malu hits his finisher but the punishment isn’t over for Nathan who is picked up and made to submit to a bear hug, brutal simply brutal. After match Promo: A video begins to play which predicts the end for Malu. Leon enters the arena and along with Gaines assaults Malu. Kind expected this because I recorded Leon's intro for him in the Judgement Day arena and 1+1=2 but it's still nice to see the fat bastard get his ass kicked. Jim Black Failure Promo: Jim attempts to get a word from Nick Kage but it isn’t happening as Kage aint talking. Good build up for the Nate vs. Kage match as if I’m not already pumped enough for it. Trips Promo #2: I go to Regan’s office apparently pissed and planning to hit him for not giving me back my TV Title on Turmoil. However when I get there it is revealed that the whole animosity between me and Regan and fake and we only needed it to lure Steven Jones into a false sense of security before I attacked him in the main event. Boldo vs. Anthony Martin: Before the match Boldo’s ringmaster announces that if Anthony Martin loses he becomes a slave. Anthony starts strong with some chops, kicks and a big dropkick which knocks the larger champion down. Boldo comes back with a punch and a close line knockdown, not to be outdone Anthony hits and close line of his own but misses with a low dropkick this allows Boldo to hit a strong knee to the gut. Anthony has came to win tonight and Boldo can’t seem to get his hands on him as he avoids a grapple attempt and hit’s a Russian leg sweep to the big man. Boldo is not one to take punishment without dishing some out and he whips Anthony hard into the turnbuckle and proceeds to knee him in the head. Anthony comes back strong and is really flying with a headlock to hammerlock to backdrop to forearm smash combination. Boldo comes back with a strong arm wrench during which he lifts Martin above his head. Anthony is determined not to be a pushover and delivers a fisherman suplex to the champion. Boldo is clearly angered by this and goes on a rampage pile driving Anthony and proceeding once again the knee him in the head. Anthony tries hard and hits Bold with a strong DDT but the champion comes back strong with a full nelson slam. Martin attempts to put a few moves together as he comes off the top with an elbow and puts Boldo in a boston crab which has no chance of getting the champion to submit. Try as he might Martin couldn’t avoid being launched from the top rope by Boldo as the match comes to an end. Casey Promo: My god you’ve outdone yourself this time Casey. At first it’s pretty standard of course it’s very well written as usual but no special content as such. Pretty much just a diseased ho ranting on and on and on. Eventually (and I do mean eventually because of the depth she writes in) she gets to the good part. She gets to the topic of 7 deadly sins, this is genius this is. All the sins coincidently describe her and her clients. As we dote along she explains why each client gets their name and finally gets to sin number seven which she never mentioned nor assigned to anyone. She reveals the person who was attacking Blake will be sin number seven and her final client, as the person makes their entrance we see that it is Majin.(yeah headache material). We see a recording for Blake hitting himself because he hates what he has become. Casey explains the only person that could get rid of Blake was the old Majin that she knew was still inside him. Steven Jones vs. Trips: You doubted me didn’t you fools? Well I will break sheepfucker’s record mark my words.

SPOILERS!!! ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT PART ONE Knox vs. Cruz: I was not looking forward to a horrible parking lot brawl match because environmental moves are the suck which is why these two impressed me when they brought it into the ring. In the spirit of the match they keep it hardcore with a few weapons being tossed around early days. Knox is all over Carlos in the early goings but Carlos slows him down with a neck breaker for the first wrestling move of the match. Carlos keeps it slow with a boston crab on Knox, never going to get him to tap at this early stage but it keeps Knox at bay and stops him using his speed(nice touch with the speech from Carlos on that move). Knox comes back with a stomp on Carlos’ foot then a hurricanrana with punches, use of speed that Carlos is trying to avoid and needs to avoid if he’s hoping to win this one. Knox keeps the momentum rolling with a nice springboard elbow followed by a slingshot move, he’s using the ring to his advantage with these high paced moves. As Carlos battles with Knox and the voices we have a reversal battle with Carlos coming out on top and hitting a gut wrench suplex, again slowing Knox down. Carlos follows up with an uppercut which takes Knox down again, he’s clearly looking to keep him grounded here, he can’t fly if he’s on his ass after all. Knox dropkicks Carlos off the apron as the fight spills to the outside, however Carlos gets himself together and catches Knox coming in, slamming him off the security barrier. Good stuff evil Carlos. Knox quickly gets back on top as he throws Carlos over the barrier. Knox smashes him with what looks to be a mop and then tosses him into the crowd, as we see by the in match speech from Knox, he’s very upset with Carlos. Knox comes close to ending it right here as he places Carlos on the table and climbs the scaffolding however Carlos is too wise and rolls off the table in the nick of time. Knox stays on top with a nice head scissors takedown again using his speed which Carlos has been looking to avoid. As they make their way back to the area surrounding the ring Knox misses with a high risk diving dropkick and Cruz hit’s a neck breaker, continuing to work the neck and back area. It clearly hasn’t affected Knox as much as Carlos had hoped as Knox goes back into the ring only to launch himself over the rope and take Carlos down, may have hurt himself more than Carlos though as the Mexican is back to his feet quicker than Knox. Poor old Knox is beginning to feel the strain on that old back as Carlos throws him into the turnbuckles and scores with a superplex. Carlos continues to work the neck with a headlock to the grounded Knox. Knox goes back to the sledgehammer driving it into Carlos’ gut once more Carlos says “Damn you.” I’d have thought it would be more along the lines of “ughhhhhhhh.” but maybe that’s just me. Knox begins to head up the ramp calling on Cruz to come with him, he catches Cruz coming in as the Mexican falls for another cheap trick. Knox drags Carlos back to the parking lot where it all began. Knox once again looks for the table and this time dives off a fire truck with what looks to be a body splash. After a few car moves on each other (if you touch mine you’re dead boys) Knox smashes Carlos with a chair. After Carlos is made to bleed we see Knox down with Carlos taunting, only hitch I’ve noticed in a great editing job so far. Carlos cracks Knox with a chair and shoves him in a garbage truck which then takes Knox out of the arena making the winner Carlos Cruz and his crazy voices. Air Promo: Next we have Air getting weighed in for his EX Title match and sure enough he makes the 220 pound weight-limit. He then asks for an explanation as to how the scales work and the doctor suspects nothing here he actually gets excited as though someone is taking an interest in his boring dull job. Then coincidentally it’s revealed that Reed is the last to weigh in after Air, this sounded silly to me but as I read on he opted to go last so he could lose a few extra ounces before weigh in very nice explanation. As Reed is about to weigh in Air pulls the fire alarm and the doctor still doesn’t suspect he’s going to mess with the scales. Of course he does mess with the scales and Ed Reed doesn’t make the weight because of it. Trips Promo: I arrive at the arena in all my glory and am still apparently pissed at Regan for not handing me my title belt on Turmoil. Hardcore Title: Let me just say I’m marking for Jacob’s double coloured tights. This is a hard match to review as it’s like watching two matches at once but I’ll have a stab at it, just don’t cry if I miss a move you hit. We start off with Mace targeting the champ Colt Star and Kip Conrad targeting Jacob Trance. Former champion Mace quickly knocks down Colt with a big old slap to the back. Colt retaliates with a kick to the gut and a slap to the side of the head, not one to be pushed around by the big guy is our Colt. Big Mace throws his weight about again with a big back suplex on Colt as Kip takes down Jacob with a big uppercut. There’s a quick opponent switch and Kip is now staring at Eddie Mace but not one to back down Kip hit’s the big man with a suplex not many people use that version, I like a bit of variation. Not a nice guy Kip starts working the groin with knee shots as Colt almost beheads Jacob with a big close line. Mace is clearly unhappy about getting kneed in his pride as he hits Kip with a close line that could cause even me moderate damage. Colt shrugs Jacob’s high flying elbow off as he jumps on his head, ouch. Mace puts Kip up on the top rope and brings him crashing down to the ground with a ddt. Colt works over Jacob in the other corner as Mace brings in a kendo stick to get hardcore, forgot this was a hardcore match until now. Kip quickly find out about Mace’s hardcore background as he wraps the kendo stick around Kip’s neck and sweeps him to the floor. Colt hits an old school pile driver on Jacob before heading out to get a trash can. Colt’s can is turned against him as big Mace shoves it over his head and delivers a big boot to the side of the trash can. NICE. Jacob is working Kip over in the corner with the chops. Jacob brings in a ladder and ends up diving off of it onto Colt, the magic moment comes from Kip who does a moonsault off it onto Jacob and the pin is broken by Mace, good spot. Jacob takes this personally and hits Kip in his Hollywood face with the ladder. Kip who has been waiting to fight Colt all match gets his wish and Jacob puts Mace up against the ladder and works him over with the bin. You can feel Kip’s hate for Colt as he tosses him into the ladder while Eddie Mace reverses Jacob’s finisher attempt and gives him a big knee in the back. Fueled by his earlier success Kip once again takes to the air from the ladder and takes out both Mace and Colt with a flying dropkick. Mace repeats his bin spot on Jacob, still NICE. Kip and Col have spilled over to the outside where Colt is putting a beating on him. Jacob grabs a hold of the bell which Colt brought into the ring and cracks his head with it. NICE USEAGE OF HARDCORE IN THIS MATCH GUYS. Kip and Jacob slug it out on top of the ladder and Kip uses his superplex to take Jacob out of the match, at least for now.(SIDE NOT: KIP YOU SHOULD WAIT TILL JACOB IS STUNNED ON THE LADDER BEFORE USING YOUR FINISHER) Colt cracks Mace over the head with the ring bell as the match comes down to Casey’s clients Kip and Colt. Colt is threatening to end it here but Kip resorts to dirty tactics and gives Colt a sharp low blow, he follows this up with knee shots to the groin, DAMN HE LIKES KNEE PEOPLE IN THE BALLS! Kip hits his finisher on Mace but that pain in the ass Colt is back up, when Kip finally gets his down remember that guy Jacob? Well he’s back in the ring again. Jacob comes off the ladder crushing Colt as Kip hits Mace in the face with the ring bell. Jacob showcases his lightweight skills by rolling under Colt’s arm not once but twice before springing off the ropes with a back elbow, another nice spot. Jacob hits Colt with his finisher but Kip and Mace are not allowing this match to slip away from them as they double team Trance making him unable to get the pin. Jacob gets his finisher on mace but that pesky Colt Star is there to make the save again. Colt hits his finisher but is foiled by Kip. Jacob hits his finisher on Kip but is foiled by Colt. Mace hits the boot on Colt but his pin attempt is broken by Jacob. LOTS OF ACTION IN THIS ONE. Colt gets his finisher off on Kip but doesn’t even bother with the pin as he knows Jacob and Mace are lurking, Jacob takes the chair to Kip’s back as he’s grounded after Colt’s finisher. Jacob then hits his finisher on Colt but the big man Mace foils any attempt by him to get the pin. Jacob somehow musters enough strength to german Mace over into a pin but Kip makes the break on that one. Kip’s frustration is showing as he smashes Mace with a chair and emulates his trademark boot signal before using his corner finishing move and going for a pin, this time Jacob gets the break. One has to wonder if this match will ever end, what a credit to the hardcore division anyway. Kip gets CAUGHT by Mace with a spine buster, NICE. Kip and Mace are both taken down and Jacob and Colt have the chance for the win, Jacob beats Colt to the kick but Colt reverses the finisher attempt, Colt then hits Jacob with a kick and puts his head under for his finisher as it looks to be all over, BUT WAIT, Jacob flips him out of it and counters. GREAT ACTION GUYS DOUBLE FINISHER REVERSAL WOULD GET HUGE MARKOUTS IN A SINGLES SO WHY NOT A 4 WAY. Colt goes for a table but gets squashed by Jacob who flies over the top rope and takes him out. Mace crashes Colt through a table but Jacob has the roll up on Kip, one, two Mace is nowhere near the pin with his break-up attempts and it looks to be over but somehow Kip kicks out. Jacob hits his finisher on Mace but Kip takes the referee down. *Ignores little fast forward in time* Kip goes for his finisher but Colt manages to reverse. Colt hits his finisher on the big man Mace and with Kip preoccupied with kneeing Jacob in the nuts this one is all over…WHAT THE HELL MACE KICKED OUT! MARKAGE! Colt hits his finisher again, this time on Kip but with Jacob in his face it’s hard for him to get the pin and Kip rises to his feet. Kip hits his finisher on Jacob and with Colt bust taking his rage out on Mace with a chair Kip gets the fall and becomes the new OCW Hardcore Champion. FANTASTIC MATCH GUYS. After Match Promo: Seth comes to the ring and brawls with Mace. Interesting to see what develops. Air Promo #2: Air gets focused for his title match. Builds suspense and I’m really excited to see it now. Kang & Aries vs. Death Row: MARKING OUT for the attires of Kang and Aries. Well to the action now. Kang starts strong with a back suplex in the big man Cross. Kang the takes Cross off his feet again with a big right hand, notice each time Cross is down Kang jumps on him with the strikes he obviously want to stay on top of the big man and not give him any room. Unfortunately for Kang he’s just pissed Cross off and gets a boot in the face for his troubles, this is followed up by some knees in the head. Cross continues to work over Kang with big right hands and comically knocks A-JAX off the apron with a right hand which was intended for Kang. Kang gets lobbed across the ring and looks to be in trouble as the big man gets rolling. Kang is in serious danger as Cross hits him with a clubbing blow to the back and a big head butt. Kang looks to his partner Aries but Cross prevents the tag, Kang takes exception to this and hits Cross with a DDT before tagging Aries into the action. Aries gets technical reversing Cross’ moves and hitting a nice fireman’s carry. However, Cross kicks him in the mouth, nothing fancy or technically gifted their but it’ll knock your teeth out. Aries connects with a face buster/close line combo and Cross decides it’s time to tag in A-JAX. (NOTE: A-JAX STRIKES WHILE HE’S BEING HELD IN A GRAPPLE BY ARIES, I’M SURE IT’S JUST A SLIP UP THOUGH, I DID IT TO NATE IN A MATCH THE OTHER NIGHT BY MISTAKE). It’s been a great showing by Aries as he kicks A-JAX out the ring. A-JAX is not going to accept this laying down as he delivers a series of punches and uppercuts to Aries, again not pretty but effective which is what we’ll see from Death Row and what just might win it for them. Aries drags A-JAX over to team Kang/Aries corner and Kang comes in for the double team but momentum shifts as A-JAX delivers a double close line taking them both out, giving Kang a forearm smash just for good measure. Aries brings the momentum back to his side with a nicely executed double arm suplex. Aries tags in Kang who comes in delivering a boot to A-JAX’s ribs. Cross is tagged back in for Death Row and the two original competitors go at it again, Cross pulls the match back towards Death Row as he works Kang with stiff shots in the corner. Big Cross then delivers a spear to Kang who once again needs to make the tag to Aries. Kang tags in Aries and the teamwork is on show as they hit a nicely executed double team manoeuvre. Aries goes for the first cover of the contest with a backslide pin hoping the big man’s own weight will keep him pined down, Cross manages to kick out at 2. The big man is shocked by this pin attempt and promptly goes on a rampage slamming Aries around the ring. Aries shows great heart however coming back with the vertical suplex. A-JAX comes back in off the tag but Aries is on a roll and hits him with a DDT before saluting the crowd, A-JAX doesn’t appreciate this showmanship and hits Aries with a move made famous in Karim vs. Yohansen. Aries comes back with another beautifully executed move, this time a double arm backbreaker. Aries brings Kang back into the action for his first meeting with A-JAX, Kang hits him with a suplex variation before hitting his finisher and going for the pin. Cross enters and instead of going to break the pin he attempts to close line the ref but misses, he obviously stood on his hand or something because the ref stopped the count anyway and Death Row survive and close scare. Kang is once again close to finishing it and sensing danger A-JAX tags in Cross but Kang just gives the move to him instead. A-JAX goes for the same tactic as Cross and takes out the referee. Another close one for Death Row. Kang tags in Aries but he can’t avoid a punishing hold from Cross, Aries still has the whereabouts to break the hold though and Kang&Aries survive their first scare. As the fight continues between Aries and Cross it appears as though Cross has him right where he wants him but Aries pulls out a big DDT however this isn’t enough to stop Cross as Aries taps to his full nelson hold before Kang can make the save. Team Underdog Promo: Had a laugh at this well written and dare I say it I like the way Fearo and CJ gel.

Nobody believes I'm writing an in depth report do they? :(

You want someone who can Morrison Method you'll be hoping to draft me.

I think Regan means a terribly good job. Meaning he done a very good job.

Yet he's still here.

This is true and being a whiney little bitch about it isn't helping matters either. You did good but you can't expect a "GREAT JOB!" everytime you do something right.

If he wasn't a hall of famer you wouldn't be saying that. Just because he has a great history here doesn't make him exempt from the rules.

At the end of the day I do sympathize with you Kip but look at it this way. 1. PM Recon and pitch a date/time to him. 2. Wait about 2 days too see if you get a reply. (If you get a reply go to step 4, if not go to step 3.) 3. If no reply comes ask someone to fill in and if you need a recorder then just AIM me. 4. If he replies then great and get it done, if you need a recorder AIM me.

I was assured you would retire, why is it not so?

I understand your point of view, I really do. I don't know if I'd be so quick to book Recon after he's been out of active competition for so long and then he no-shows. Forget the reasons just deal with the issue. Forget the individual look at the overall picture. We have a guy who's been out of action for ages then he has a match and no-shows. Now before anyone replies to this and shoots me down in flames I'm not in any way getting at Recon because I know his circumstances but above are the facts, his situation is just personal shit. Real life comes first but if real life stops you working in OCW then maybe you shouldn't be working in OCW and should just focus on your real life. Just my take. It's my opinion and how I view it so before anyone attempts to tell me I'm wrong (which I'm sure you will) just know that you wont change my mind.

Looks like I have Poe because I WILL NOT lose at Damntion!

Says the man who had to double team Kip Conrad.

Environmental Report The show opens with the usual Turmoil intro which is just one of the little details that makes it feel more like a real show. The first segment of the night is Deano who tells us all that he wont be the man getting the CCW Title shot on Sunday which leaves a number of questions. Such as will the FI be cashed in? Will there be a return? Will he even need to defend it at all? After this first promo we have a MASSIVE bit of commentary which is always a treat to read, really sets you up for the show and actually is a nice way of getting feedback from the GM as the commentator’s comments can often reflect his, you just need to pick the commentator which seems to be representing his views. Next we have an interesting little segment with EA. Now previously I’ve viewed him as someone who gets a cheap pop on the forum but if he was viewed for what he did on shows he’d be less appreciated than smythe (and that’s hard). However, this little RP, short as it is, really showed me that he has talent for the stuff. His little rant which reminded me of The Rock was nice and I laughed at the comments he made such as that he was better at Rock Band. Keep it up. The next role-play opens with Finale having a mean look on his face, already I’m not buying it as legit. He apparently is serious but the little bit of comedy about myspace.com kinda killed the mood of anger and seriousness for me, none the less the eventually gets owned by Regan and I ladder match is booked. (I liked the way Regan put the “your match is next!” comment in as it once again makes it feel like a real show.) Regan lives up to his word and the match is next. Now I have to apologise to Aries and Val here because I know they’ve been working hard with each other the past few weeks but I’ really not feeling this, partly because it’s a ladder match and I personally can’t be bothered to watch a ladder match which essentially means nothing for the winner. But alas for the purpose of this report I will watch and comment on it. Ok here we go…wait what the fuck! My eyes can’t go at double speed. No thank you. Skip to the end and what we see Aries winning a ladder battle superplexing Val to the outside ftw. Next we have a great RP with Tyro and Soul Glo. Excellently written. The dialog for Soul is amazing he actually sounds like a crazy black man who feels he’s being held down by “whitey”. Tyro’s character bounces off him very well indeed and the contrast between the two is a great chemistry. Tyro ends up leaving Soul high and dry but not before he verbally slaps him. The next RP is sort of hypocritical (yeah I said it) from Nathan’s point. He blasts his faction for not helping him and calls them dysfunctional, how are all your past factions doing again Nathan. :p They also said Deano hasn’t arrived yet despite his promo on page 1, damn you Regan you’ve made a slight hitch for the first time! The next match is a triple threat between EA, Vindicator and Ryder. Let me just say at this point I’m hopping it doesn’t play at bloody double speed. After the entrances we also get a nice profile of Bret Heart nice job whoever edited it. Nice opening spot with EA doing his taunt. Allen clearly has his countering hat on as he counters two strong grapple attempts by Vindicator before his move is countered into a running ddt. Vindicator is hitting these strong grapples and he doesn’t even need a strike or stun grapple to set them up, RESPECT. A kick to the face from Ryder slowly stops him though as all competitors have now hit the floor and everyone seems more settled in to the match. Ryder is kickin’ ass with strong grapples but big bad Vindicator soon puts a stop to that as he throws Ryder across the ring, after this there’s a bit of sticky FPR from EA as he grapples Vindicator as soon as he targets, but I’ll put that one down to lack of competition recently, not to worry cause Vindicator counters the move anyway. Nice little spot about half way in with Allen using the school boy on Ryder but Vindicator breaks it up just adds to the realistic feel of the match. Later on as EA becomes finishible Vindicator sees his chance and press slams Ryder to the outside before giving EA an Oklahoma ultimate control move however Ryder returns to the ring to foil his plans, nice attempt and would have been a good ending if it came off for you. In the end experience plays a part as Ryder gives Vindicator the RVD shoulder thrusts in the corner and makes him watch as he finishes EA with the sharpshooter. All three men showed good understanding of FPR although there were a few hitches it’s to be expected in a 3 way. Our next segment is once again involving Regan, he’s a busy man. He comes to the ring to announce to our fans that the main event between Jones and Versus could be stale due to the fact it has happened before so he adds the no DQ rule to spice it up a little, he also states he expects to see something special from them or else he’ll be upset, which he reminds us is bad due to the result of CJ upsetting him last week. (Tonight’s 2 on 1) Next promo is Tyro/Knox. Knox is being interviewed by Trisha before his big match with Tyro Kraven who takes it upon himself to crash the interview and scare the living daylights out of Knox. Nice build up for the next match. This next match was exciting for me. Mainly because I’m loving this new rookie and Tyro has the greatest entrance in OCW and I love his playing style but also because it’s the first normal 1 on 1 of the night. First move of the match is Knox getting owned with a big boot from the larger Tyro, laughable moment. After an exchange of strikes Knox takes Tyro’s head off with his spinning kick. Both men have hit the ground running in this match and I’m expecting a great one so far. Tyro crushes Knox in the corner and after a few stomps Knox turns yellow. The first strong grapple of the contest is applied by Tyro, then the in grapple move is countered by Knox, then by tyro, then by Knox and finally Knox hits it, nice little battle there. Knox goes to his lightweight locker and pulls out a handspring splash which makes the damage even. In a nice throw back to Riot Tyro hit’s the 5 knuckle shuffle and does a Cena taunt, made me laugh. Tyro has a nice little spot where he does the grapple which unleashes almighty punches sending Knox half way across the ring, he follows this up by flexing his arm which was a nice little acknowledgement of the fact it is WAY oversold. Moving along Tyro has Knox finishible while Knox uses two Euro uppercuts in a row to turn Tyro to double orange, FEAR THE EURO UPPERCUT. The match ends with Tyro’s lovely spot, aeroplane spin into the master lock looks great. The match itself was what you’d expect from a light vs. a heavy these days. Knox did himself proud but he was never realistically going to beat the bigger more experienced Tyro. Nice use of the environment in this one as well, after Tyro’s drop out move they actually used the outside of the ring instead of getting right back in, nice use of the steps by tyro on that exchange and the kick which caught Knox as he was running was a nice touch. After the match Cruz comes to the ring and attacks Knox, clearly under the influence of the voices as we can tell by his attire and the fact he tells us. While I still think it’s weird supernatural crap it’s quite interesting and it’s made for a nice match at the pay per view between the two of them. Next I fainted as Seth Irving cuts a promo. I still dunno what the hell he’s wearing though. He tells us that he’s not going to wait and climb back up the ladder but he’s just going to take the spot. Could he be the one facing Versus at Damnation? Next page we have Kip Conrad who is so mark able it’s unreal. He’s so original, even his coat is original in design. The point in him coming to the ring is to announce he has the night off since Recon didn’t show up to face him. However he is cut off by Smythe Da Wonder as he’s about to leave the ring. They have a little back and forth with Kip standing his ground and challenging Smythe to put his money where is mouth is in a match, Smythe gives the rook the chance to walk away from it but Kip refuses. Smythe then reveals he’s not going to be alone in his match against Kip, Nick Kage will be joining him. One has to wonder why doesn’t Nick Kage’s fireworks set the ring announcer on fire? Kip appears a little “star struck” if you will at Kage’s appearance and calls for Casey but it’s too late as the match begins. Kip starts well and is giving Smythe a run for his money but inexperience comes into play as Kip stops to taunt for the crowd, Smythe in turns plants his face into the mat. Smythe then tags in Kage who promptly takes Kip’s head off with the polish hammer. Kip is fighting for his life and after a European upper cut he goes for the cover only to get launched across the ring by the powerful Kage. He hits Kage with a low blow which may be his only chance, to play dirty. Clearly Lage is unhappy about this as he once again looks to behead Kip with a huge closeline. Kip fights hard for the rest of the match but aside from being great individual competitors Kage and Smythe make a great team and this match is only going to end one way. Kip tried to be sneaky and push the referee into Kage before going for the bell but Smythe knows the tricks and takes the bell off Kip before smashing it right into his skull. Kage gets his finisher on Kip and tags in Smythe to finish him but Smythe lets him up after the pin. This, while heelish, is kinda silly as the match wasn’t really entertaining. I mean it was good but the winner was never in doubt and the whole point was to put Smythe/Kage over as a heel unit (least that’s what I assumed), just kinda feels dragged out after that. At the end there’s a nice spot with Smythe spearing the ref and grabbing a chair, Kage stands up Kip for Smythe to chair him but Kip being the wise little fellow he is blocks the chair and hits Smythe with it, markable moment. However, his glory is short-lived as Kage pounds his head into the mat and delivers his finisher for the win. Overall quite a nice match but from my personal view point I wouldn’t have minded it ending after Kage hit the pounce. Next we have Brad Failure with an interview. I laughed at the start when he was wearing a Boldo wig. Bauer chats a bit about Amart and how he’s on the path to becoming the next Nate. He leaves us hanging by telling us he has a special announcement to make on Riot. Next we have Vindicator noticeably angry that he lost his triple threat match. He feels he had it won if it wasn’t for the presence of Ryder and by god I think he’s right. In his rage he comes across Ministry whom he immediately owns and tells him that’s what he gets when he interferes with justice. Up next we have action between lightweight Gaines and should-be lightweight Carlos Cruz. From the get-go Nathan is clearly the aggressor getting Carlos on the ropes (literally) with a series of strikes before Carlos tips his ass out of the ring in order to get himself together. Nathan climbs back into the ring but clearly Carlos has thought about how to counter the aggressive style as Nathan walks right into a European upper cut. After his hitch Nathan gets back on the attack as Carlos can’t seem to get his head together, good fast paced action. Problem with face paced action is that it can be a bit iffy in terms of ethics, Nathan has now hit the same running grapple three times which I view as a bit dodgy. Toe kick mania has hit this match, I assume that the insistence that we use the analogue stick is proving to be an issue here as I sometimes find myself toe kicking when I’m trying to punch. Getting towards the end of the match it’s surprisingly tight, considering Nathan was so strong in the beginning I was counting Cruz out but both of them were finishible in the end but true to his form throughout Nathan finishes him off for the win. Next we have myself talking to Roman via the phone when Regan requests to see me. I’m clearly pissed off and Regan isn’t giving me my belt till I help Air beat CJ, OH NOES! As we move on to the next page we see Air being interviewed. His message seems to be”Yo gonna get it CJ!” Gaines is summoned by GM Regan who seems to be rubbing everyone the wrong way tonight and doesn’t seem to care either, I LOVE IT. He’s developing from the helper who’s filling in into the best GM CCW has ever had. Great character of a heel GM unfolding as he disrespects Recon and tells Nathan he’d better start kissing Regan’s ass, very nice RP here. Next up we have the match I must take part in to get my TV Title back. First entrant is Air followed by me, the outfit for all you uneducated people is the traditional environmentalists attire. The match starts with CJ facing off against Air before Ed Reed’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring turning the match into a tag team. Obviously the odds are less stacked against CJ now but the environmentalists are an undefeated tag team. The match was good and the winners were fitting to the storylines of all participants. Rachel comes to the ring looking rather slutty and demands Malu gives back Leon’s FI. Malu comes to the ring and attacks her. Just when it looks like it could be all over for Rachel, Nathan Gaines comes to the ring and saves her. Chloe Taylor then attempts to get an interview with The Air who refuses to comment but then settles with the other EX participants at Damnation. Ed Reed claims he will lose his extra weight then defeat Air to win the title, CJ obviously believes he will win the title, this leads to a bit of friendly rivalry and it is announced that we will find out one Riot who deserves the EX Title. Interesting one we have here. Reed is a hell of a competitor but you can never count out CJ. (Unless a title is on the line cause he always gets screwed :p) As we move to the next page the Regan and Gaines RP is posted again. (Regan slips up again!) Then we have Ministry vs. Banjo. I’m sorry but it looks like I’m watching this underwater. Nothing really note worthy here, pretty standard match. Ministry eventually hit’s the choke slam but he fails at climbing out and Banjo no-sells. Since Ministry is still yellow at this point we all know who the winner is going to be and after a corner choke slam Ministry takes the W. Then we have a nice Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 loading screen, another great edit job. Then we have my second meeting with Regan on the night. I’m clearly angry (still) but more so because of the loss in the tag match. I demand what Regan promised he’d give me but he’s not playing ball. He calls for security, I lay out one of them but the whole team are too much for me. I’m escorted from the building but not before I tell Regan all tonight’s strange decisions will backfire on him. Another Rev Inc RP tops page 6 as Nate rallies the troops for Sunday. Forget Sunday Versus has some trouble in the main event against “Ironman” Steven Jones. I don’t know who recorded this match but the music is great I loved it. The song “Cherry Pie” also fits Versus’ cheesy aspect very well. The decision of Regan to make it a no DQ match doesn’t really seem to be effective…that is until the end. :p Steve Jones throws Versus out towards Casey as the lighting turns red and the Television Champion’s music hits, with Steve glued to the ramp way a certain Champion sneak-spears him from behind. Versus turns back to the ring and sees Steven laying on the mat, he doesn’t ask and questions and frog splashes him for the victory. Looks like Regan’s decision backfired on him as the man who he ejected from the arena screwed up his ME. (Sidenote: You can tell where the recorder got the end part from as you hear “Head Creeps” for about two seconds at the end. Good show packed with action and development before the PPV as expected.

You fail because my main point was that I don't clog the place with random shite.

What's with this idle chat shit? Take it somewhere else. I log on expecting to read some feedback for the show and I stumble upon this crap? I now feel the need to write some kind of report cause it seems these days people only comment on the show when they have a report to leech comments from. (With the exception of the guys who write the reports, and credit to Mace for his post up there ^^ somewhere.) I don't comment on the shows normally which is accepted practice I don't NEED to and I keep any views I have to myself. If everyone did this the site would be fucking boring and I like reading other people's comments and I accept that I don't really add to the topic with my feedback but what I don't do is post random shite and totally clog up the thread. I'm looking at Kage, Brad, Double A, Mace's post with "LAWL" in it (although he rescued himself with a nice show comment) and hell I'm looking at you Sensation for the post just above mine.
