Bobby Minio

I understand what Dan is saying about Tobin/Cody. Still a solid match, but it didn't feel like Cody was battling to defend his title the way you might see him in another situation. This is the smallest complaint, it's really not a big issue but I understand where his thought process is there. This was probably the most mellow desk episode yet. See what happens when we throw down a mean Riot?

If that's how everyone feels about the situation then please change the Riot card. I'm not looking to kill interest in the Main Events or anything of that nature. I'd rather the community go about what they want to see and if that means less of me that's fine, I'll find something else to do or I'll do nothing and focus more on my life outside of OCW.

Did you miss the part where people complained that I wasn't being opinionated enough on the feedback threads? I'm pretty sure they called me out for it on the desk a few months back. Like fuck, I can't do anything right. RP! DONT RP! GET BETTER ON THE STICKS! DIMS SUCKS FOR LETTING YOU GET OFFENSE IN! WIN SOMETHING! HE WAS HANDED A WIN! POST IN THE FEEDBACK THREAD! STOP POSTING IN THE FEEDBACK THREAD! Well fuck me running!

I wish you guys were capable of realizing how fucking goofy you look when you bag on a rookie for their inexperience on the sticks. That's like calling a child short. Inevitably, children grow taller. Inevitably, rookies get better on the sticks. It's funny how much attention has been drawn to the idea that putting the Champ in the barrel is bad for the community but apparently alienating rookies because they're new to the competition is healthy as a motherfucker. Some of you guys are so fucking backwards you can't even see your own dicks.

*Holds up the Hardcore title, AKA the Participation Trophy* Don't forget Brennan, I am the THREE TIME THREE TIME THREE TIME #1 CONTENDER. You're guilty too my friend!

We both know you just felt bad for victimizing me so bad in the first match that you let me get some heat on ya. You don't have to lie to these people to make me feel better about myself.

Everyone doesn't hate Cody. He has his Edgeheads, Leon, Sean and KD. Maybe you guys should come out dressed similar to Cody and we can call you guys the CODYPENDENTS. Send me those royalties when it's convenient Cody. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I'LL BE HERE ALL NIGHT, TRY THE LOBSTER!

In Dims defense that was after our first match glitched out, and he dragged me around the ring by my head for most of that match.

I think this batch of rookies from the last couple of weeks is going to be so awesome. Cut Throat, Tyga, Cesar, I love the heavy gimmicked characters like that and it's going to be so fun watching these guys get established on the road to Lution.

Leon if you got something to say to say to me, you can just add me on Xbox, wait for me to accept, and then remove me.

I like the stuff that Pugh, A-Team and Matsuda have done so far though. Not to mention the fact that virtually everyone in OCW but you remembers me giving Pugh a pretty big piece of my mind pretty early on. The point is, all I've even done here is acknowledge that he took a shot at me in a promo, which is fine. I like that stuff. I took one issue with something in his promo that could have been done better or made slightly more sense. Like, let's talk about this from an in-character prospective with K'Dangelo. If Cody Storm walks out to the ring and lays down an open challenge for his title, for ANYONE who wants a free shot at the world title, is KD really gonna sit backstage staring at his boots or is he gonna go out there and black rack the fuck out of Cody and take that World title once and for all? You guys suggested that people HELP and make people better. Me pointing out that, that one plot point in his segment could have been a little better is valid criticism. It's not a pot shot, it's legitimate feedback.

Tibby caught the fade in a promo when he took a shot at me that went over all your heads, and he thanked me for coming back at him. That's because Kent's nuts dropped a long time ago and he appreciates continuity and acknowledgement. In all honesty, the quickness with which you guys are jumping to Cody's defense any time anyone even says his name is making this worse than the criticism is. When I came in here I was told these feedback threads are full of ball busting. Now it feels like a fucking cyberbullying awareness commercial. He's the champ. He's in the crosshair. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. http://media.philly.com/images/071013-throne-600.jpg and for the record, the ball breaking Cody was subjected to led to probably his most firey promo since I joined the OCW. Should we all be quiet so the champ can go back to sulking in his wife's minivan?

Nerv fernum!

C'mon Leon, don't be so obvious when you're lamenting people taking issue with an RP you laid out the blueprints for.

I see what Raze is saying though. People would have walked out, which could have led to Cody taking a powder in #heel fashion and just play off of it. It does look kinda dumb to think that people would see this goofball making an open challenge and no one would go out there.

Cody you better watch it with those shots fired son. I already told OCW I always keep my receipts! http://s3.amazonaws.com/rapgenius/8RBjBYR.gif

I know that the last thing OCW needs is more title belts for Brennan to collect (how much more success do you need in a day? This guy is gonna have rookies as Edgeheads by the time Lution rolls around), but I really think that a lot of the bullshit lately comes down into a split between what people want out of OCW. I have to correct myself in saying that, there really is nothing wrong or dumb about someone who comes here to get their competitive itch out and writing / storylines are just sort of part of that for them. I just think that, that marquee person does have to be a content work horse, and a #TeamReliable sort of person. If that's not your thing it's not your thing. In WWF/WWE history, the IC title was that workhorse title, and it really had as much credibility and importance at times as the World title, without having the stigma of always needing a story plastered all over it. You know when the IC title is up it's supposed to be a battle. No finger poke of doom bullshit. I remember someone was saying, you know with competitive style players, you're going to see a fight. Maybe having a title that is that sticks warrior division would help the issue in a compound way. Players who mostly want to compete can do that. You can still have storylines and promos but it doesn't have this cloud over it's head of needing a hot feud to be worth the title. It also becomes the storyline. "We're here to fight for that damn title and that's what we're gonna do!" I picture a Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle style motivation going down on something like that.

Funny thing is the same things have to be pointed out over and over again, but at least the feedback threads are active again. Look at how many ghosts have come to the last two feedback threads.

For the record, I don't think a single person questioned Cody's ability to win that match. If anything, people almost saw it as inevitable. The thing is, that match, was him getting a chance, and it ended with a finish that Cody's biggest fan said himself was less than stellar. People questioned Cody's ability to be entertaining, to be World Champion material, and much like he was accused of on last week's thread, he rushed straight for the finish as soon as possible. Cody can write. His segments aren't poorly written or too short or anything. It just seems like to Cody, writing, and character development and feuding is a necessary evil to him to be able to simply WIN, and that's not what the highest title in an e-fed should be carried by. He gets to try to prove people wrong at this point, but I gotta say I have even less faith after the finish of the match. You're right that we shouldn't sit around and run the guy down, but there's a lot of constructive comments and criticism in the ball breaking, and none of it has been at all addressed or proven wrong at this point.

To answer your question Sean, some people don't want help. They want hype but not help, and they're not the same thing.

Sean don't you think this silly retirement joke has gone on long enough? It's time to come back home.
