Gonna run through some thoughts since people want me to be nicer, we'll see how it goes.
-Leon's salsa shirt is awful. Please drop it. Just wear a normal suit like a normal man.
-First things first, lets go with looks. Reckless looks fucking awesome. Could do without the necklace, but he looks every inch the indy darling. Nice that he’s already trying to establish a catchphrase, and he’s got potential. Bobby is also getting there. His look is a little more bland, I’d like a little more sizzle on the attire – somebody can probably give you a hand on that front if you’d want it. Both movesets are nice and it’s a flowing match. You wouldn’t have guessed these are new cats given how nice the match actually is. Always felt Bobby was in charge, but that’s not to say Reckless isn’t good. When I played these dudes the other day, they get it – they really do, so I’m looking forward to where they go.
-Matsuda and Dupree + Christmas = the good stuff.
-I figure Matsuda is the man to guide Minio straight off the bat, because hell, he guided me kinda when I came back into the fold two years ago. Working with him is easy, and Minio, if you’re on your game you’ll come out of a potential feud with a better understanding of how to put shit together (not that your writing isn’t already up there) in OCW.
-Porker. Nevins. JESUS
-Sean and Tobin had an awesome feud in the dying days of Ambition, so them working together again in any capacity is good for OCW. TOBIN YOU’RE TOO NICE STOP BEING SO NICE YOU’LL NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING*
-Justin Raze is a better man now. Again with Suda’s guidance, he’s on his way to the top. The match itself was good, maybe a little long considering it ended with a DQ, but as has been said before –Bedlam is an animal. He doesn’t play by the rules.
-Harrison crying that he’s too busy doing Christmas shopping to defend the Hardcore Title is ridiculous given that he was banging on about “returning it to greatness” 2 weeks ago. Newsflash, its only fallen from grace since it fell off Gibbs. Lets just bin it and move on.
-More Droogs. I hate them, but they’re vital to Bedlam’s mystique. Dwarf throwing is illegal in Maryland.
-MY C4! MY C4 WILL OVERCOME THE ODDS AND CLEAR THE MEDIOCRE FROM OCW’S HALLS. Well done Hollywood.
-While I like that potentially Tyro is back, didn’t you just do this exact thing with Leon a few months back? Secret opponent turns out to be Tyro/alt? I feel like I just watched a Hardcore Title match where no weapons were used. It’s not a horrible match but… yeah. Do something with the title or let us retire it please?
-I don’t get this RP. A) Cody doesn’t have this title anymore, he was stripped of it. B) Its factually incorrect. I’m all for building a match, but like has been said above, this feud is a flop. It’s a shame, because like I’ve said countless times, while I believe Sean to be the star coming out of Cerb, Cody could also be a major player potentially down the road.
-To that end, this RP wasn’t required. I feel like you would have been better served having the reveal after the event.
-Trance as a face isn’t clicking. I don’t know what it is, but he’s dumped the personality he had (The Anti-Christ) and just become the Ned Flanders of professional wrestling.
-Firstly, the good. Sean looks a million bucks. When he started he was just a black dude in trunks and now he’s probably one of the better characters around in terms of look. His music fits perfectly here and his entrance is cool. Cody needs a different singlet, a “SUPER PPV MATCH” singlet alternative, but he’s just Cody. The match itself is exactly what you’d expect. By no means is it Hart/Austin WM13, but its solid. The major problem I have with this match is the ending. I’m going to list things again A) Why did he need to use a defunct belt that he doesn’t actually have in his possession (unless it’s a replica, since they had about 42 of the things between them) to end the match. Why couldn’t a ring bell have done that? B) The timing was weird. I feel like it should have happened when the match was in danger (See me vs Suda on riot a few weeks ago. Suda left the ring to get the chair because I’d hit him with a finisher and it was a last resort). You should have just pinned him off the belt attack, rather than a finisher after it.
-KD shootin like a muthafucka. Its cool KD, I don’t hate you. I still hate Arnaud tho.
-OMG Christmas special please
-Mugen and Hollywood showing why I picked them. Mugen has done a similar thing to me. Floated in and out, and now he’s really a commodity in OCW. Hollywood being back is nice, and between them I think C4 could be a team to be reckoned with.
-KD coming out as RD Money was kinda nice. My only criticism really in this match is, Trance didn’t look like he wanted to win it for whatever reason. When he had Tobin and KD down, rather than pinning either of them he triggers comeback – one of the more confusing things on the show, but whatever I’ll roll with it. Glad Tobin is Champion – deserves it for the grind he’s been on this year. KD coming up short again. Tough break.
-These muthafuckas need to understand that less is more
-intrigue. Hopefully this means we get Jay coming back to save us from THE BIG BOSS
-A change to the billed program is always awful, but they made the best of it. The OMG entrance is funny, but fucking stupid. I hate Matsuda’s face, Tibby is a charlatan. These boys are boys who know how to wrestle, and it’s a fun match to watch. Mugen I need to make you a new attire, Hollywood you need to stop doing all my moves – we’ve already got more than enough me in C4. Forced to disband huh? We’ll see.
-Pato is an absolute delight to deal with. From RPs, to rookies, to in-ring stuff, his contribution to OCW is massive and we’d be a poorer unit for not having him. Fun fact, the first shoot of this match, the ring legitimately collapsed by accident so we had to reshoot. Fun match to play, fun match to watch back and fits nicely into the grand scheme. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to return to my day job as shaky Champion.
-Overall, decent PPV. Some weird bits, but weird is what makes things interesting right? Hopefully the Riot on Thursday cleans up some of the loose ends and we can all live happily ever after.
