Pugh

As the exclusive scene on OCWFED.COM opens we arrive in a minimalist Tokyo doctor's office. Harsh light fills the sparse surroundings, illuminating a single examination table in the centre of the room. Two figures, one dressed in a comical hospital robe and the other in a beautiful lab coat, are having a heated conversation as we come upon them Pugh: I don't rehab. Rehab what? It's fine DOC. FINE... The former World Champion seems to be irate. He's thrusting his finger into the doctor's chest Pugh: Look at it! He throws a jab with his left hand and winces in pain. The doctor shakes his head and makes another mark on his chart Pugh: What's that you're writing? As the doctor offers Pugh the chart, a confused look comes across his face Pugh: What language is this? Gimme the skinny origato - am I cleared? The doctor puts his head down and shakes it both ways. He says something to Pugh with a sullen look on his face Pugh: I want a new doctor! Who the hell's idea was it to try and get medically cleared by you people? Just as Pugh begins to rant up, his phone begins to ring. He pats himself down before opening the robe to reveal a cell phone holster strapped to his bare thigh. The doctor averts his gaze as Pugh picks up the call Pugh: C'mon Doc, you've plenty of deez... Ah Mugen, good to hear from you. Hey listen, this Doctor you recommended... I think he might be a quack... Nah I'm looking at him right now. The doctor is looking sheepish as Pugh looks him up and down Pugh: Not a word of the Queen's... I think he's stealing my things Mugen. I think he's stealing my... I can't hear a word you're saying. Are you in a club? ... its 9am! ... What the... Who the hell is Shaniqua? Do they even have Shaniqua's in glorious Nip... Well don't tip her then, I don't know what to tell you... Listen to me for a second... MUGEN! Pugh's attention is stolen by the doctor marking something on the chart again Pugh: HEY! I SAW THAT. I'll come over there and slap the yell... Mugen?! Oh for god sake... Meet me in Roppongi... High Touch Town, 20 minutes. If this animal won't clear me, looks like we're gonna have to go with Plan G... I said Plan... Oh forget it. He puts the phone down in disgust and straps it back to his bare leg Pugh: Don't think I'm done with you Miyagi... He waltzes over to the Doctor and knocks the chart all over the floor. The Doctor scrambles for his things as Pugh marches straight past his hanging clothes and into the Tokyo morning, bare arsed and furious

And yet there's no mark out? Fuck you

Fixed

All you rookies hitting 3 finishers. When a vet hits a finisher you're staying down #amateurs

The man who's nuts Parker will forever hang off of

I'd worry more about your backstabbing partner than what the ref was doing

Childbirth amirite?

Is Tre Golden rookie Smythe?

His partner was RD money

Yeah sexual assault doesn't fly on tv. I swear to God if I have to bring in a gang of feminists to beat the fuck out of Ragnarok I will

Moussa is the Scott steiner of the gregorian calendar

Nah Ragnarok is a vessel to get Nathan over. Run.

I will make Thursday if I can. Just gimme a time

Do you think the roster has 48 rookies? They're all in the same stable, so convince them to fight over it. There isn't a roster big enough to facilitate it. Even when I had it, or Parker had It, some defences HAD to be against uppercard guys- otherwise you run out of opponents very quickly.

Jookie was this week's MVP. Im a guy guy

Don't argue with Smythe. It's like arguing with an action figure that only has 5 phrases. Just stop pulling his string and put him back in his box

You know there's a reverse button? If you've burnt your reversals you deserve the asskicking

So you went with "Andrew"? I mean. Atleast stick a "The" in front of it, and be over like rover (See The Steve)

Why doesn't Andrew have a last name?

Technically, Jay writes for Smythe, Smythe writes for Arnaud, so Arnaud should be writing for Parker. Or something like that.

Ideally you want people to see you as whatever you want your character to be. If you're a face, use the crowd as a device to cheer and emphasise that, you're a heel, then use boos. The problem starts because some people transcend "kayfabe" because of either how they are as a handler, or how they've been in the past with their character. For example, Smythe could spend the rest of his life shaking hands and kissing babies, writing himself as a face, but he'll always be a heel - not because his character is a heel in the present, but because of how he is on the boards/how he's been character wise in the past.

You made an impact as a face and a heel, and now you've been around long enough that it has no impact when you change though. People are indifferent to a change after a while, because it becomes ingrained in you

True, but he came in as a face, so its all we know so far. It's tough (and can be very boring) to run as a face when you're established, because its much more fun to be a heel. A face is governed by rules that dictate how they act. They have to be a "good guy". You're free as a bird as a heel

Won't happen. Its too hard to get over as a face in OCW, and the people that do get bored of it. There's only so much you can do as a face, so unless you've got a gimmick that supports it (Drago for instance) its tough

Does little Buddy need a hug? I've done nothing but let Sean go over on me for a month and a half, I've just had my "best friend" flatten me and steal my title and now I'm having my arm wrenched out of my socket with my back turned. If you don't think I'm a downtrodden face in Kayfabe, then I don't know what to tell you. If we take it the other way, and blur the lines (considering ourselves as the OCW "Fan") then Sean is the face here. He's being carried on a groundswell of support for his schtick - you're all making him a face by refusing to accept him as a heel. That's not caused by what happened at The Clash, that's caused by the fact that he's being held up as a Daniel Bryan character. For better or worst Sean McGee is accidentally our JYD because he's been turned into it by the fact everyone is stealing his shit in "support" (faces and heels) The reason Sean didn't take the pin at The Clash was to preserve him as a heel - whether you like it or not, kayfabe dictates that any Triple threat match goes Pugh (face) vs Parker (heel) vs Sean (heel), where Pugh is the guy on a mission to regain what he arguably never lost, Sean is the guy who doesn't give a fuck and wants to destroy because he's been wronged, and Parker is the asshole who thinks he holds all the cards and the fans want to see taken down. Arguably in a Parker vs Sean match, as it stands in Kayfabe right now, neither of them is "the face" the lines are blurred. It's up to Sean and Parker to guide you to exactly who you're supposed to be behind as we approach that match. The way it gets defined is by the actions of both men, so you should let them play out what they're going to do. The fact of the matter is this. There are aren't enough people trying to be faces, because its cooler to be a heel. So you're gonna get heel vs heel sometimes, that's tough titties...
