Pugh

Is that even a sentence?

No point, i'm dead

You beat Ron! That's why he did it. Scared of you

Not this week #streakender

Yup, and there was a weird period where he wasn't on NXT for a while because he was on the road with the main roster, thus killing the HYPE.

Completely agree. As mean as it seems Kass should be balls out Turmoil and nowhere near Riot. This kinda makes Turmoil feel like NXT when Seth was champ and in the Shield too

Who will take a bet that AC Cobra goes 14 title defences and 300 days as champion? This boy is young me

Ari Brookstone rose from the grave AND AC Cobra won a title? Shit son, are we sci-fi now?

AC cobra though

Can we have a 'next page' button at the bottom of the page? Thanks

Nope, you all outright cried about it. OCW ISN'T STRAIGHT LEAGUE :'( :'( Well this is what you get. An un-potty trained hall of famer with spaghetti limbs and a World Championship on his waist.

Yeah but nobody wanted rankings so this is what you get. I hope Leon wins the NA title and the Turmoil title and unifies them with a storyline ending

OK here we go: a) I've already apologised to Sean and Cody. Mistakes were made in the communication and whole planning of it, and I apologised to both of them because I fucked up. That's fair enough, I did that b) Sean knew about Parker cashing in from the jump. I pitched the idea, and I said "Parker will be champion" and Sean was down with it, so if you're thinking Sean was legit screwed, that's just not the case. The match happened, and where we cut it, I released the pin as I didn't know if Sean could kick out or not, so it was safer to do that. c) From a purely kayfabe standpoint, the idea was to have Sean lulled into a false sense of security by Parker, which then allowed Parker to get into the match unchecked, and ultimately do what he did. Initially, I thought we'd have one PPV, then Lution - which turned out not to be the case. The initial plan was to have a legit 3 way at the next PPV, then whoever wins wins. What happened was, there are 2 PPVs between now and Lution, which meant we needed ANOTHER match. Now, if Parker came in and pinned me, I would want a rematch, therefore logically Pugh vs Parker is where you go. I was adamant that Sean wouldn't take a pin, so as to keep him strong, then ultimately whatever Parker does (be it face or heel) Sean hasn't lost anything by taking a pin and killing his momentum. If Pugh vs Parker happened THEN Sean would have been screwed. Lets not forget, Kayfabe wise, Sean had no right to this match - Pugh gave it to him because he was a fighting champion. If you watch Riot this week (Spoiler alert), Sean will do something that forces a match with Parker at the next PPV. Ultimately, here are your facts - we got lumbered with the FI case, so we tried to be creative with it. For better or worst, everyone was in on the plan to have Parker leave The Clash as the champion. That still hasn't changed. I've apologised to Cody and Sean, because it's my fuck up and its on me. As for me handing the title to Steve when he "hasn't earned it", if we think back to 2013 when Parker was eating people's lunches, can we remember the reason why he stopped? It sure as shit wasn't because he lost a random match - it was because he left for surgery, so he basically had to be screwed out of the title. So the "doesn't deserve it" argument doesn't hold ANY water whatsoever. Sean is getting his rematch, so there's no big conspiracy. If he's good enough to be Champion, he will be Champion.

... You know that's already Sean's gimmick right? Can't you just continue being the skinny dude with the white man's face and an irrational fear of furniture?

I mean... He was holding it for 18 months without cashing it in. I addressed it, and its not a one and done. There's a reason he didn't take the pin.

There's precedent for it. Dimsmore cashed in Parker's FI contract at the beginning of their feud in 2012/13

This man is a fucking animal.

Saviours here, Saviours there, saviours fucking everywhere. I swear to jesus if i have to read one more "i'm saving OCW from X" or see one more "A Saviour is coming" hype video I'm gonna lose my shit. We need a saviour to save us from all the fucking saviours b. What are you gonna do when you get here saviour? You're gonna join the midcard with the rest of the saviours right? Do yourself a fav(i)our and don't fucking bother. OCW doesn't need saving from anything. This gimmick has been done way better than you'll ever be able to do it Mr Whoever the fuck. Fuck sake. Please note that the correct spelling of savior is saviour according to the Queen's language

Is he working with Nathan Carter now too?

I hope he's just an Elaborate cosplayer who really likes Pugh circa 2012

Least you know I'm coming. It's not a good thing that people have to wait for your music to kick in before they know who you are

My first thought on that return... "Why is there a sound guy coming through the curtain". Turned on the music, ohhhh...

Don't worry white guys. Sean is OCW's MLK and The Clash is in Tennessee. Not quite Memphis, but close enough. #assassin
