Congrats Leon

I'm really looking forward to the development of Cirque Du Freak... The group as a whole has so much potential uniqueness and diversity. I hope the group maintains it's cohesiveness for a good run. Each member being extremely raw and border line insane leaves so much room for added depth and wrinkles for each character. I would like to see Freek,Bedlam and the rest of the Cirque Du Freak take over Asylum in place of Henning for a run as well.

Love the format and the general feel and direction Asylum is headed. Truly feels like the inmates are running the asylum. Henning went above and beyond this week story line and editing wise... Was a big fan of the wheel and gimmicks. Asylum is turning into some nice competition and alternative to Riot. Great go home Asylum heading into Lution week. Think we will ever see Johnny Curtis again?

Got Ambition

I agree with you Smythe to an extent... You should fuck my shit up if your skills are on par by all means. But look good doing it.

Welcome to "The Ambition Era". When me and the fellahs came to OCW a little over a year ago we "All" talked about changing OCW and leaving our mark. Every one of us contributed to the birth of LOTUS which had the motto of "Adapt or Die". Think that holds true here. EDIT: This post is not a diss on any of y'all that were here before our class.... A lot of vets have the same ethics and views as our class... Don't get it twisted.

Any chance we can get the tag tourney bracket posted somewhere and updated each week? I know the original thread is locked.

I'm backing Vega's option myself. I like the idea of 60 charisma cap. As Vega stated it nulls the ability to store multiple finishers and extends the time it takes to build up to your finishers as well.

We are far from doomed in my opinion. It is not the fault of our community that we have not been able to come up with a fair and competitive kickout rule while still retaining some semblance of fun and entertainment given the current platform that THQ has provided.

Me personally I wasn't a fan of the kickout rule at it's current state but I am a fan of any attempt to improve the quality of the matches don't get me wrong. With that being said I am very confident in our GM and management to book the talent that works like shit accordingly and I'm completely ok with that.

Just wanted to pick up on the topic of match etiquette that Vega touched on during his review while I'm at work. •PIN: The pin function is probably the most undervalued maneuver in OCW which is a shame. Going for a pin attempt is a great way to build drama in your matches, increase the value in your spots and also keeps us the viewer from the monotony of mindless stomping and constant pick ups. Don't get me wrong stomping and pick ups are still important but switch it up and keep it fresh. •SELL: Sell your opponents high impact, signature and finishing spots... It is ok to put your opponent over and still be competitive. No need to mash "A" with a vengeance after ever move or run like a scared bitch when your opponent goes for high risk top rope moves or springboards. There is a reversal button... Use it. •SUBMISSION: When submissions are applied I would rather see them mashed out for a reverse as opposed to being released. •FINISHERS: Using your finisher early in the contest as soon as its acquired number 1 looks terrible, and number 2 diminishes the value of your finisher. With the removal of the trial kickout rule the best advice I can give without beating a dead horse would be as previously stated, use your fucking brain. If you are hit with a second finisher in a row with out mounting an obvious change in momentum and breaking the chain with a finisher of your own, please stay down...

Is it just me or is there surprisingly few feuds leading up to Wrestlution which normally would be one of the big moments and pay offs in most angles. Dupree and Dimsmore and Tyro and Smythe all that really come to mind. We still have time but I would like to see more defined storylines progressing for some of the more established competitors.

From my understanding your opponent would need to be showing signs of psychical damage before the kickout rule takes effect.

So how does this effect the sub fin rule?

I'm ecstatic as an up and comer to have the opportunity to see OCW Hall of Famers and Legends returning no question. Very curious to see how there booked. Kinda surprised no mention of Smythe calling out Nate for Wrestlution or the angle with Tyro that is developing.

Just finishing up Page 3 and this is the most enjoyable match for me personally so far... Me and some of the older heads on here grew up with this shit.

Mez Murdoch vs Bryan Lee Spot of the match : Not one in particular, just overall good match. Match Rating : ***1/4 Spot of the match: Bryan Lee's Pedigree off the top turnbuckle

I personally prefer the traditional method. My favorite part of the show was reading the rp's and I really hope that isn't phased out.

I see where your coming from in that respect. Although if people are only being booked on one show and not both isn't that the idea behind booking levels of superstars (lower, mid, upper, ME). That would allow rooks to be booked on show openers and not be limited in who they can work with and angles etc. Some stars are made when a top talent puts them over or gives them a rub.

I think it would be a mistake to make a show just for rooks. IMO if you make 2 shows they should both be on the same level. You need the possibility of the same level of events happening on both shows. That leads to more possibilities for fueds and angles even if the roster isnt on a designated split if that makes sense.

But if both parties are more Concerned with the quality of the show there is no need for a rule... Just put yourself as the spectator. Just because you can kick out doesn't mean you should.

I think that's getting too technical... People should care more about the show then the win regardless.

I don't see why anyone is complaining about a finisher rule when most of y'all are using subs anyway.
