B-17

<3 <3 <3

Mugen deserves a lot of credit for helping to make this story what it is becoming.

Que?

The ambiance of Levoy’s is far from a traditional setting for B-17. But, Duayne Hobbs is in his element. The waiters know him by name, they even seem to know his prefered meal. Sitting there in his pristine suit, his size and heritage mixed with his presence might have attracted stares, but B-17 noticed that most went to great lengths just to avoid looking in their direction, which must have been hard due to it’s centered location right under a sparkling chandelier. While B-17 sat bemused at which fork to start with, Hobbs delicately cuts into his smoked salmon. Hobbs: How's the prime rib, Mr. B-17? Come out medium rare like you wanted? B-17 snorts: Please call me by my real name while we are in public. Hobbs: Right....so how's everything, Mr. Caine? Caine: Um, well I could use a beer, not much of a wine guy. Hobbs: No, I’ve heard the stories about you and Jackson, quite a friend, too bad he forgot about that friendship during the match. Caine watches Hobbs take a bite. He remains calm, determined not to give Hobbs anything to work with. Caine: So, I said we would talk if you delivered the men that cost me the title. Well, here we are. Should we talk? Hobbs looks down at his plate wistfully, but pushes it away and looks up: Of course. Where do you want to begin? Caine: You promised me money, girls, power. What if I’m happy with how much I make, don’t really need help with the girls, and believe power is an abstract idea that is attainable through many avenues? Hobbs: See, you only say that because you haven't experienced money like I have. You haven't seen money like Mugen has. Spend it as you see fit, it’s not blood money that must be poured into selfish endeavours. As for the girls, screw em, or don’t that’s an option. As for power, well I know you understand power. I’ve read your files from the Air Force. Caine: Those are classified. Hobbs: I think that I just gave a prime example of this power and money thing… Caine: So, what would the deal be? Hobbs: Fixed payment based on income. Low level guys don’t make much in OCW. Midcard guys don’t make much in OCW. Main Event guys don’t make much in OCW. Sensation doesn't pay you guys jack squat so you have to understand that to make good money, you have to acquire endorsements and investments. We get em’ You pay us 12 percent of endorsement deals. Merchandising is trickier. You will only collect a small amount from merchandising anyways. We don’t collect from merchandising until you reach a negotiable number. Caine: How much would this fixed payment be? Hobbs drums his fingers on the table and then smiles wide. Hobbs: One dollar. Caine chokes on his water before speaking: That’s it? Hobbs: We don’t bring people in unless they can bring in money. And since you can’t make money until we give you a boost, why bankrupt you? Caine: Anything else? Hobbs: Sure, we got some details to iron out but we can figure it out as we go. Do we have a deal? Caine sits up straight in his chair, fixes his cheap suit and places both hands flat on the table:.....We would if you had held up your end of the bargain. Hobbs remains silent. Caine: The men you brought for me, they weren’t the guys I was hoping they would be. Oddly enough they weren’t even in the same city as me the night I was attacked...so you owe me an explanation, Mr. Hobbs. Hobbs looks around the room before tapping his glass with his fork. All the customers stand up and begin to file out of the room silently. Caine watches suspiciously, tensing his muscles in preparation. Hobbs: I delivered false men to prove a point. Although that point was meant to made a bit later, you are a clever man but you’re not clever enough to catch them. I couldn't deliver them to you because the rabbit hole runs much deeper than you could imagine. Even I can’t find the very end of it. But I gave you what you wanted because I don’t want you to feel alone. Hobbs once again looks at the crowd. Most have exited the building, a few remain queued at the door. Hobbs: But you are alone. With a snap of my finger all these people would have attacked you, no hesitation. I have that power. And you don’t understand its full potential. You’re alone and I’ve protected you since that attack. No one else. The hounds are circling and they want you bad. But where are your friends? Mr. Montgomery, he seems occupied. Everyone else in OCW, their heads are down, why concern themselves? But you, apparently they want you like wolves want flesh. Hobbs stands up. Hobbs: Perhaps the biggest thing these negotiations might bring you is the allies and friends you need. My people will not be at the next Turmoil. I want you to experience how very alone and unsafe you are...because I want you to appreciate how much we can do for you. Mugen would appreciate this, it's simple mathematics Mr. Caine. 1 + 0 equals 1, and 1 is the loneliest number. Hobbs turns away from Caine and walks to the exit. Leaving Caine all alone.

So Kassidy is the main character of a B horror flick?

Wow....Loki, B17, and my army of alts might have to make a trip to Riot just to slap you. I will bring Sophia along to kick you square in the balls.

#idvoteforhim

Taking down Trance was impressive but honestly I felt all of R was a bit...um I hate this word, buried, so let's say lightly covered in dirt by Nathan's rp.

If Jack is face its only by association to me. But he has heel tendencies. In his RPs.

We have a great mix of heel/face/tweener Heel/ Kass Tank Seb Sid Morrison Face/ B17 Jimmy (doesn't like it but deal with it) Sophia Tweener/ Jackson Black...I think? The rookies are all undecided but if you add Loki to the mix he would also be face. And once Trance ends his feud and comes back to Turmoil I'd imagine he will be face by then.

Neat ending. We all claim to not make enough money, but some people have it....

I'm thirsty for Sen (not yet annoying voice) and for Pugh's arbitrary rankings for no other reason than it creates layers of intrigue that makes ocw extra fun.

We need a plus minus betting system for the big matches.

Make a damn desk. It's been too long since I've heard your voice....oh and update the damn rankings...please and thank you in advance.

We would all like to see it.

Ouch....

Jesus. Another two years here and you can write a walmart no seller.

This post has too much truth.

-The opening promo was very strong work. Everyone involved looked better. Kass got to insult everyone and parade that he was the champion. He beat B-17, he beat Jackson. So he is the biggest heel on Turmoil, no doubt. Before breaking down the promo, I do feel there might have been too much humor injected from Jimmy and I'm not sure how I feel about Jackson saying "Fruity Booty Clan". That being said, Jimmy got a big rub, surrounded by three established guys and getting the nod from from B-17 is Kayfabe big deal. But as for his individual section I didn't feel that you accomplished much more than calling me and Jack Bert and Ernie. You just kinda added the "I'm gonna win" speech. I enjoyed being more serious in this promo. The beer in the back is fun to do but I enjoyed being able to remind people that I was (I believe) the last person to beat Kass on Turmoil. B-17 has a legit claim to facing Kass. Jackson got to play devil advocate. Don't really know what he is going to do. So we had the Heel (Kas) The Underdog (Jim) the Face (B) and the Tweener (Jack). That's some strong balance and I hope it remains......but more on that later. -Sid and Seb...I can't be the only person that got a bit confused. -Sophia I want to work with. You seem like you got some good ideas to run with and I've got divas to use. Just let me know. But that CAW was damn good, both of them are. -Joe, I love how humble you are. You wrote an rp where you looked a bit foolish. I'm cheering for you. I seriously see Jean Claude Van Damme in these promos. Have I seen your guy yet? Stacey might have a choice to make between you and Loki. Sadly Loki is too damn awesome for me to ignore. -I agree with a previous statement. Morrison is 1/2 beer money. I see it. I want it. I like how you used Turmoil's relevance at the last PPV in your material. It's organic it would never be the same thing again. Good thinking. Black, keep chugging along. It will stick, need some wins but they will come, I mean legit ones. Morrison, I've seen that skull on the front of your trunks everywhere. It's very popular. As for the match I liked the ending and overall it was ok. I hope Black comes back with something big for vengeance because that was a stone cold beat down that needs an answer. Lol #Blackmatchesdon'tmatter.....I hope that does not become a thing. -Here is my biggest issue with Jimmy. You came across as a Face these last few weeks.....but I see you as a heel. Coming out and stealing the entrance, genius. But I'm confused of the identity of Jimmy along with the placement of your RP. I mean you are in the main event, why even care about the Janitor, which I don't get? It felt out of place. Being face is not boring. It just means you need to limit yourself. And of course I could be misinterpreting your intentions. Sometimes people ask if I'm a heel. I'm not so I can understand how things can be misconstrued. Abbott v. Sid was a good match. Two bigger guys hitting hard. We really need to get Sid some wins. He has the look, he is a good sport. The character needs to be developed, right now he is just the mustache guy who likes to attack people. I get that he hit you, but it feels like I've seen you attacking people quite a bit anyways. I also want to see direction for Sid as the guy being the character is someone I like to speak with and knows what he is dong. But I hate leon and his return. No. I want your other character. -The B-17 C4 side story is something I'm enjoying working on. Now it might seem hypocritical to say that this promo was appropriate when I was talking about Jimmy's side adventures, but this is all about finding out who stole my opportunity to be Turmoil champ originally. And I'm loving it. Mugen has made this experience a great one. There are so many intriguing options to run with and while it is not the main storyline I still love it. -Turmoil is plenty welcoming of newcomers. We struggle with saviors. -Aries v. Kass was as expected. I like the look of Aries now and I continue to hate Kass (KF). Still that fat look on Aries needs to get fatter. I'm talking "I'm sorry, but we have to take the foot" fat. Still I love the designs you have and I'm happy you are back to working with us. -Hey I'm on board with what everyone has been saying. I didn't get the rookie promo. It felt convoluted. However, the backfiring car was funny. We've all been there. Shit car, no money, it's the OCW way. We don't get paid enough. How are we not friendly? Seriously have a beer with B and Jack (if we are still friends). I'm honestly rooting for all of you guys, but please avoid phrases like "Best in the World" "dominate" "save". Not because we have dibs on it but you put a shit ton of pressure on yourselves to win right away. And we don't know you. Build yourself first and then say you are going to kick ass. It's like seeing 02 Randy Orton tell people he is going to dominate the WWE. Yeah, ok generic tribal band. Build...then destroy. -I want feedback on Loki. I want to know what you guys think. I'm having fun with. The whole faceless man may have been a bit much, but it was fun to write. The main event was fun stuff. While the match could have been better, no one looked weak. I took most of the beating it seemed....and I was superkicked from behind by my best bud, speared, jumped on, piledriven...all by Jack and Jimmy got the victory....frick. But that is how it should have gone down. I've got history with Kass and I can pick that up whenever. Jimmy is the hot guy right now and Jack wants a rematch. The strongest part of the story is those two and it keep Jack and I from facing each other one on one. Congrats to Jim, but you stole that win and we will meet again. Good job all around. I'm looking forward to working with all of you. Except Dylan. Fucking asshole, crawl back up Kass's ass.

I'm dropping a huge review later tonight and if you haven't posted in support of this awesome show by then I will pay sen to change all your names to Smythe.

Enjoy your extra $3.50 per week.

Impressed by your ability to go down but not get back up?

I know many languages. I'm cerebral.

You failing to do the splits is not impressive.

Thumbs up for the ego boost.
