Bobby Minio

Ultimately, all that matters is that the Cody section was psyched after the main event. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-mlhIzm6B8s/SyG8Yfch-wI/AAAAAAAACZ4/x00JTIUtO8A/s400/empty-arena.JPG Hi Leon!

Gloves have been off since I joined. First week I was here the thread was a warzone. It builds fire and motivates people. Look at the promo Pugh cut after LOSING a title match. That shit was fucking FIYAH. Look at Cody, he was so motivated by the verbal beating he took last week that he ran into his Pugh match, overwhelmed by the thirst, and finished the match as quickly as possible. Apparently rushed squash matches are only shitty when it's rookies on the receiving end. The thing is, the feedback, brutal as it may be, actually elicits change in the people who aren't so buried underneath ignorance, thick skulls, or defense mechanisms that they can actually listen eventually. There are quite a few people right now who have made major adjustments to their work that learned of the issues through brutal feedback.

Yeah, I definitely need to pick the spots better. I tried to build my character as this undersized guy who used his body as a weapon but the game just does not really reward that. My only problem is, even if I use the high flying sparingly, it still has a solid chance of completely botching out. Even if that top rope attempt was my only attempt in the Tobin match, my character still had a stroke midair and missed Tobin by a mile and he was actually positioned well and at a good distance from the turnbuckle.

I think this is the opening for a big discussion in, who is 'ready' for the main event level and World title contendership? If it looks as though Pugh is taking his foot off the gas on that front, and Betterness has no interest in chasing the title, who does? Who's ready? Who's poised in that position? I would personally say Tobin, and not just because he Tobin bombed my ass into my throat, because watching that match back I actually got way more offense in than I remember, but I just think Tobin has that serious bidness champ character, though to my knowledge, he's not really looking to jump into the World title scene right this second. Is it time for Matsuda to take his shot? Does Sean return? -------------------- Here's another discussion I'd like to bring up after watching the Minio vs. Tobin match, is the lack of true Ex division wrestlers due to the fact that high flying is a flawed strategy on WWE? As people have pointed out before, springboards are near impossible in 1vs1 without some hovering, because if someone is standing they can very easily dodge you. In the match, I somehow botch a top rope move to Tobin when he was laying flat on the mat. He didn't move, he didn't reverse, my character just biffed it about 6 feet to the left of Tobin for some fucking reason, and quite frankly, this happens fairly often. Both Suda and I had some high fly botches in our recent match that made absolutely no sense. So should I begin weening out the springboards and top rope offense? It's not to say that it made the different in either match, but it's certainly not helping my ability to win when I am doing damage to myself in situations that should either be a move hitting or a reversal, I'm giving up momentum and upper hand, and it makes my character look fucking incompetent. I feel like everyone knows that high flying offense in this game is fucked, but I missed the memo. http://media.giphy.com/media/K4wckv2q1O1bi/giphy.gif

I wanna hit Leonheart with a TDR. KD should black rack everyone forever. Tyga vs Cesar is already fun. #Dress? AC Cobra name dropping! Another rookie bringing some fire on his promos. I like it. RK's crib segment was a lot of fun, I wish I could write Luke to be as smooth as he writes him. He has that Eddie style slickness to him already. I like the direction Trance has been going in. Are these midget soldiers a Raze return thing or a Bedlam thing? Lex Walker is going to get the shit Tobin bombed out of him. Trust me when I say I know what that's like. It sucks. Mugen in a dress is outstanding. That's the ugliest dress, Austin Lee's fashion sense is fucked. The entrance was perfect. I marked out for Cashmere Cat. Poor Austin, wrong place, wrong night. That's what it had to be like to work with heat against Meng. Chuck the camera man gets more offense in on Matsuda than I do. OMG take over of an entire fucking page. #WORKRATE Cut Throat is awesome.

Loving the setup for Tyga vs. Drago already.

Typically though efeds are not competitive in that sense. What you're looking for is a LEAGUE, not an efed. In a league, you don't have to be a compelling story teller, you don't have to be a great promo, you just have to win. Sometimes man, I really wonder if you even watch wrestling or if you're even a fan. Feud's don't have to cap off at one PPV, and they tend to be, rematches with different stipulations. Now, I obviously don't have a lot of options, so basically by your opinion, I cannot write at my level because it's too much for my play level. My only option is to play fucking musical chairs month to month until I get lucky and beat somebody. Because that's a compelling story. It bored you when I won a match. It bored you when I lost a match. I get it Cody, I've got it from the first time you said something. The only time you're being creative in the OCW is when you're creatively trying to dig for a reason to nitpick on the things I've involved with, every single week. "Revolution? wat I don't get it" "wat is this guy's revolution against?" "he did the in your house segment wrong! oh I mean in your crib oops!" "oh how ironic he's cutting promos about earning things and they gave him the title" "another match against matsuda? the RPs are good but who cares about RPs" "another promo against his opponent at the PPV? boring!" "oh great he lost against a guy that I personally believe is one of the TOP THREE PLAYERS IN OCW wow how boring" If you spent a little time actually reading the shit I write in promos, you would see an on-going storyline is my frustration that I don't have the Ambition system to come up to speed in here. I'm getting booked against Matsuda, Tobin, KD, basically, rookie eating monsters. Am I coming here to bitch about it? No I make the fucking most of it and I write my ass off being as compelling as I can be with the hand I've been dealt. I'm going to lose. It's a foregone conclusion. I had this conversation with Pato, Sean, and a number of other staples around the OCW, and everyone said "losing doesn't matter. Just tell your story and everything will come in time." You're the only person who's dumb enough to think that winning and losing matter in wrestling. They're all just factors that fuel a character. Daniel Bryan came into the WWE through NXT and was literally turned into a sacrificial lamb for the WWE to bury stars of the indies. Eventually, he was able to start winning, and while that was storyline, it was part of what made him that character. John Cena went on his huge losing streak and ended up main eventing Mania against the Rock. All of this is character progression, and there's been a long building character storyline that my character is going through, that flies right over your melon head. It's all just a match to you. You will never get into a character or a storyline when you are hell bent against getting into it, and it's been pretty clear from the jump that you've been determined to misunderstand anything or everything when it comes to my character.

Cody, you're arguing with the majority of the people here, about the culture here. This is one case in which I'll say majority rules. If a group of people all feel that this is a balance of story and sticks, you can't sit here kicking and screaming saying "You're all wrong and I'm right!" because the people here are what make that culture just that, a culture. It's worth noting that you've still yet to answer Dan's question. How do you make the title interesting? 4 minute squash matches are interesting and entertaining? If that's the case, where do you get off saying me losing all the time is boring? What about everyone who will go up against you as a dominant champ? Do you realize the folly in your logic that losing is uninteresting, but you think someone who goes straight for the win as fast as possible should be the face of the OCW. If all of your matches are five minute squashes, how is it ever going to be interesting? Clearly, people are sitting here impressed by your ability to win. People acknowledge it but they're not impressed and they don't enjoy it from a spectator prospective, so how is what you're going to do any different than this feud I had with Suda that you have said went on a month too long?

Is my understanding correct that Our Hero is an Authority figure who's tight with OMG? Also, this thread is officially the OCW Royal Rumble. High spots after high spots, long rest down times, surprise returns, ganging up to eliminate people, and general mayhem.

Wait actually I'm not gonna talk anyone's ear off. I don't wanna infringe on Cody's Xbox gimmick.

Both of you fucks better watch yourself. I won't say I'm gonna beat you in a match but I'll talk your fucking ears off! If Cody says it's okay.

That's right Leon just tell the Doctors that you tripped and hit your eye on a doorknob.

Cody why don't you just make an attempt to answer Dan's question? http://ockhamsbungalow.com/blog25/gnome.jpg Phase 1: Win title. Phase 2: .... Phase 3: Profit!

I'll stop being as funny on the thread until I get better on the sticks. It's not as funny when I make jokes when it's a foregone conclusion that I'm going to lose my matches.

Well, lord knows it's good having a World Champ with X-Pac heat. Just look at how excited everyone is to see Orton main eventing Mania. http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/095/2/0/troll_dance_by_ileeuu-d3dadex.gif

http://31.media.tumblr.com/ef584aa13072c021dc99b266faf3fecd/tumblr_n177991mwh1sbzhteo1_400.gif SHOTS FIRED!! NOW JAY YOU WANT SOME TOO?!?!

My favorite parts of the PPV so far are Minio being murdered by Matsuda, Tyga's Promos, Cut-Throat, outcome of Tibby/Mugen's drag race, Tobin promo + match, "COUNSELOR!!!!", Main event and more theatrics.

Ultimately, that's it. Winning or losing is just something that affects the story. Losing doesn't mean you're not telling a compelling story.

You're missing the point of what I was illustrating in that sample of Bobby Minio, Son of Someone. The point is, when you're a creative person, creativity flows. I don't decide "I'm gonna drop a motherfucking two page bomb on these bitches!", I just start into a promo and it carries itself. If you want me to turn that off I'll turn that off but I can't sandbag my writing to meet the handicap of my work on the sticks, and quite frankly, that would be really fucking stupid. Does the WWE tell Bray "Hey man, settle down with those firey promos, your in ring work isn't matching it yet!", no, they have him cut promos and then they have a group that can protect him. Maybe you don't pay much attention to wrestling Cody, but Bray didn't wrestle any long matches, and wrestled very few matches on TV, for MONTHS. They got his in-ring product up to serviceable and now we're seeing Bray in the ring a lot more. Even before his knee injury, he was doing very limited in-ring work. We don't have that option here. So I just have to write my ass off until the thumbs can follow, otherwise, I'll just be another stale roster member begging for title shots. and we DONT need anymore of those.
