Bobby Minio

The hustle and bustle of an airport assaults its way onto the screen, the visual of crowds walking in every direction, the sound of thousands of independent conversations competing with the clap of feet over hard floor for top billing for the concert in your ears. The camera focuses on a line of irritated travelers, arrivals, who hold their bags defensively. Signage reveals that we are looking at a Customs line. We focus on one man in particular. He stands at somewhere that would clock in as somewhat above average, with an athletic build barely hiding under a hoodie and jeans. Beard scruff covers his sneering face, and if he weren’t wearing a pair of Wayfarers, we would see bags under his eyes. The One Man Revolution, Bobby Minio, curses the very namesake of JFK airport silently on screen. He shifts his weight suddenly, reaching into his pocket with a quick jolt. He removes a cellphone, and stares at it, nearly in disbelief. Bobby Minio: Sonuvabitch. The guy finally returns a call and of course he does it when I was mid flight. His eyes roll quickly, but he moves the phone to his ear to check the message. He begins to reply out loud, as if the voicemail were a conversation and not a recording. Bobby Minio: Yes, OCW is back.. I have no idea… Yes, we’re all gonna be there… How did you not know this? With a groan, he swipes across the phone to return the call. He waits impatiently, and of course, finds himself speaking to a voicemail. Bobby Minio: Dude, how are you going to ignore my call AGAIN? Mug… ugh. Look, I’m at Customs, I just got back from Bayamòn and some Rican promoter tried to stab me over a goddamned promo! I’ll answer all of your questions, but you gotta do be a solid. A C4 SOLID… ‘Brother’. I need you to pick me up at JFK, and I need a couch to crash on. I spent my hotel money on an early flight out of that hell hole and I’m in a pinch here. CALL. ME. BACK. The call ends as Minio reaches the front of the Customs line. The Customs Agent has the look of an 80’s movie villain who deals in shady real estate or city planning, think Walter Peck in Ghostbusters. He has a particularly shitty look on his face, and Minio knows he is in for trouble. Before Minio can even speak, Customs Officer ‘Peck’ rips Minio’s bag from his arm, opens it, and begins rifling through his belongings. Bobby Minio: Excuse me I- Immediately, the Customs Officer’s face tightens, and his eyes narrow. He looks over Minio’s shoulder, making a gesture. Another Customs Officer arrives. They speak into a walkie talkie. Minio realizes this has gone south, but it’s happening so fast. Two men in military uniforms show up, hands resting on their pistols with the holster unsnapped. Customs Officer: This man has been selected for inspection. He was acting in a threatening nature. Be advised. As Minio’s jaw drops in disbelief, the men grab him firmly by the biceps and lead him toward a nearby room. Bobby Minio: You prick! Customs Officer: Sorry sir, just part of the process! Oh fellas, don’t forget a few fresh pairs of rubber gloves! Bobby Minio: YOU PRIIIICK! The camera begins to pan down to something on the floor, but moves slowly enough so that the viewer can see the grin beaming from the Customs Officer’s face. The view stops on an item on the ground, it’s Minio’s cellphone, and it’s ringing. A photo, a drawing of an owl in Mugen’s wrestling gear, flashes across the screen, followed by words wiping across. ONE MISSED CALLED

FUCK YOUR APPRECIATION!!! http://i.imgur.com/u5XGnDC.gif

Don't sweat coming up with an appreciation thing for it. People donate to thank YOU and show their appreciation for OCW. Let's just focus on having some fun with New 32 and bouncing back like beasts for the next season.

No one's first and you're next.

Obviously there's no buzz for CF this weekend, guess I'll spend my money on this

I actually read the entire show but I haven't been able to watch all of the matches. Er, both of the matches? I mean I saw the Mugen vs the Book match and I lived (barely) through the Minio vs. Buffness match... When I get caught up on shit at work this morning I'll write up a review of the storyline stuff.

I'm reviewing this bitch tonight if I can get some time. Page 1 rule be damned.

I really think the gameplay only sucks on the sticks, but I think 2K15's excels as a 'spectator sport'. I think they've added a lot into the game that fills a lot of blanks in. One MAJOR change in 2K15 that I think was worth the jump entirely was selling states. As people get better over time you're really going to see the strength of that. Imagine a Pugh vs. Dupree Wrestlelution match if both men are on their knees, out of gas, taking wild swings at each other. They get up, Dupree hits a book end, both men fall down. By gosh it's almost like a fuckin WRESTLIN MATCH! That's the stuff I like. I like that they drag the opponent away from the ropes (though it is buggy yet), I like that they climb up the ropes to stand, all of that stuff has a lot of long term, match storytelling potential. I also discovered the hard way that if someone is doing a dive to the outside, the person outside can throw a weapon, hit the diver, and really ruin his fucking day. Stuff like that, as the skilled guys play more, is going to be the kind of spots that make a match memorable. We lost a lot of shit, trust me, I once threatened to quit if a PPV wasn't done on a custom arena, I truly believe our custom arenas made a BIG impact into our unique presentation, and losing that really sucks, but there is a lot of stuff we can use here, and ultimately it just means we have to be a bit more text heavy for the year, which will probably help everyone grow this season.

Throw it on Dropbox, I might take a look at it, if it just needs to be rendered and uploaded I could definitely do that.

The skipping in the Pugh vs. ??? match ruined what should be a classic that we put on Youtube.

I definitely thought Bridges was taller too. Nasty could still work, some morphing issues, could send him up to the Monster Factory, teach him how to torture rack and crucifix power bomb, maybe a samoan drop, put some gas in his ass, slap a body builder gimmick on him and bring him back to the OCW as a white buffness, fuck it!

Let's play a little game here in the feedback today, because we have a few new guys poking around, a few vets, so lets see how this works out. Relatively serious replies for this, save the trolling for other vets. I'd like to use this as an exercise to see how well we're all conveying our characters, their personalities, or their message. From there, people can potentially change or improve the way they write or work in ring or design their CAW.

It's only flaking when you vanish. Everyone here gets that availability (and energy and interest) come and go, so just drop a line saying "taking a break for a while, be back when I can" and people won't really see it the same as flaking out. At least, that's my take on it. With that being said, I feel ya on the switching back and forth stuff. I was getting to be the same way.

I wish every big man match looked like that. I would have liked a little more variety in my offense on that, I felt bad when I kept doing the knee dropkick over and over, but that is the kinda thing monsters need to do. Hopefully, that was an indicator of 2K15's weight detection and not just me being a SORRY SACKASHEEIITT. I'll review the show tonight! Let's all get in the habit of reviewing these shows to get more discussion going and create more constructive criticism for each other. The best work comes out when you know people are watching!

Hey, who edited the Nasty vs. Bridges match and what program did you use?

Well now I have to change my whole fucking universe mode for singleplayer fantasy play. DAMN THE MAN Also I'm not comfortable competing with both RAW and MNF, could we move to Wednesdays? I think there's a gap there.
