  1. I'm here to help, horsey, if you want me to redesign the CAW for you.
  2. SOME QUICK CHARACTER NOTES FROM JEHST: + Debbie D looks like a fuckin star with that new attire and entrance. On point. + Not sure on the entrance motion of Val, I would go with the "Hurricane" entrance we were pushing for Mantis to show off that more heroic, superhero vibe. New attire is a step up, love the half mask, but I'd also give her red hair as it's uncommon in the OCW womens division, heck, in the entire fed. And more flames on the attire. Good to see the rookie developing, though, good stuff. Also, if you hit a major use that to your advantage to get some damage in - doing one move is not a good payoff for losing two reversals. These are things you'll pick up as you go though. + I don't know what Hunter McIntyre is about by his attire and theme/entrance. Mandalorian symbol on his back which would symbolise a bounty hunter of some kind or a brutal streak / showman-like attire with tassels / hip hop music. Seems like an incongruent combination. Going forward hopefully we see the gimmick and character evolve into something more cohesive. It's a typical rookie issue, one that I was also guilty of, so I hope to see what evolves there. + Judges new attire is step up - I like the two tone colours, and still sticking with the darker shades keeps Judges no-nonsense demeanour intact. Gotta love the move set too. + Loved TWC using tag team heel tactics to distract Judge and win the match. Good placement of cutscenes that haven't edited the actual comp match are great storytelling pieces - dug it a lot. + Asher and Marisa story vid was great - liked the video RP a lot. Now we need to see Asher feud with someone and see where this relationship goes and who else gets tangled into this story. + Tag champs are stars - always got the matching attires and great CAW designs. Would liked to have seen WotV use a cohesive colour scheme (I'm just a sucker for matching tag attires). Shame we didn't get an entrance, but I've dug the Mac attire with the biker jacket style with the WotV logo and MC insignia so even if they both came out with matching jackets of that type it'd be a game changer IMO. + Rust exudes "Main Eventer" - the attire, the entrance, love it. In fact everyone in the ME looked like they belong. The only 'critique' I have is TLBS's facepaint. To me it's always been a bit "busy", particularly on the dark red side, it's hard to make out. And the lack of designs on the tights. But those are just nit-picky things that my OCD brain picks up. Horsey's character and legacy in OCW are not hurt at all by it, still remains a huge pop for me.
  3. We arrive backstage, somewhere in the nebulous OCW backstage area that can really be anything needed at the moment. How convenient. This time it’s a locker room. Cort Marshall sits, intently watching a TV playing back some tag team matches from OCW’s past. Next to it stand stacks of videotapes, all labeled in tape and marker. Among them we see many names from OCW’s past, as well as the current crop of competitors. Cort is drinking from a juicebox as well… something his partner, Justin Jehst, notices as he enters the room. Jehst: I have a few questions. Cort looks up. Cort: Huh? Oh. Yeah, I’m trying to cut down on the booze. Doc says it’s fattening me up… might be I should lose some weight and gain some speed, y’know? If I was just a little faster… could have avoided that spear. Could have actually kept a title for once. He finishes the box and it bubbles loudly. He grunts and tosses it in a trash can. Cort: … This stuff ain’t the same. You know any zero-calorie alcohol? Jehst: Well, vodka. Cort: Eurgh. Not my style. Anyway. Just catching up on some tag team wrestling. It’s been so damn long since we’ve had a chance in the ring. Wanna make sure I brush up my fundamentals. Jehst: You’re right. We’ve got two guys who’ve done a lot here, one’s even the current Pride...er, sorry, but he is the champ! We’ve gotta keep on our game to face those two - and I’m all pumped up on bicep curls and Tarantino flicks baybay! *DOUBLE-BICEP POSE* Cort: Damn right. I want to save some face after Clash… and maybe convince management to let me have another shot before I get older and grey… er. Jehst: Well, looking back at their history, it seems they don’t particularly get along - they’re no Bill and Ted in the friendship department. Both a little bit on edge, aggressive...Maybe we use that. Cort: Mental stability ain’t their fortes, no. Speaking of… I’m worried about you and Morrison. He’s gone full on Batman villain crazy, and I’m not sure you’re Machiavellian enough to pull off any Bat-plans. I think we should stick together more--not saying I need to follow you in to piss, but if you got another stalker, might as well have backup. Jehst: Yeah, I’m still figuring that out. I don’t want this to turn into another episode of Leo Grimm - I don’t like the boiler room; it stinks! Then, the tape on the TV runs out and Cort reaches to eject. Jehst: Next question--why are these all on tape? Cort shrugs. Cort: Old matches. Jehst: This company started in *two thousand and five.* Cort shrugs again. Cort: Old man! Recorded ‘em myself. Somehow, everything looks better in 480p… Jehst: You gotta take off the nostalgia goggles. Cort: But without them I can’t read nutrition facts! Jehst facepalms and then looks over on the table top. He sees a manilla folder with a “JEHST” stamp on the front. Jehst: Ah, Cort, is that my loan paperwork for my new apartment? Cort looks over, confused. Cort: Ah, nope, didn’t see that when I came in. Jehst opens it and his eyes widen with concern. He tosses pages and photos from the folder onto the table. Pictures of the symbol MMM showed him, photos from films including the symbol, newspaper articles from red carpets, etc, all showing the symbol. Jehst: I have no idea what’s going on here, but we need to figure this out before things get even crazier with this guy. Cort: You’re damn right - we need to crush this up front. Jehst tosses the folder onto the table as the scene fades out.
  4. JUST A FEW RANDOM NOTES FROM RUDO + Even though I was skeptical at first about the Jerome/Green feud, the match was great and it did in fact elevate Jerome a little in my eyes. Still want to see more character work but it will come as it's been pretty consistent lately with the Millionaire Club stuff. +Holy shit, comp surprise of the night was definitely Ashley's performance against Valk. Well done. I always had my reservations after the Face turn, but the return to Heel status + the angles and new-look CAW really made her stand out and deserves the championship. Will be interesting to see who challenges now. + Some nice video work in this one - from Flojo to B-17/Wrex, it's always a treat to break up matches on streams with some video promo's or interactions. + Tre was god damn robbed by that kickout at 1 lol. Fuckin thought he had it then too. Great match, lots of drama in that last stretch. + Interested to know who the storm video is - maybe a legend returning or something? No idea. + God damn I don't know why but I mark so hard whenever Horsey comes out lol - I wanted to see him put some hands on those fuckers, but even without seeing that at Consequence, I'm guessing it'll go to Cide, and I will be here for it - what a build, kudos to all three guys involved to keep it going this long and still be captivating. + Aries return was a massive surprise and greatly shakes up the top of the card on PS4 (not sure if he's on Xbox?) - Nate and Trance was great and this return just topped off the end of the show with a bang.
  5. Not a full review but definitely wanna keep some random discussion points going around the first RIOT back. 1) Nate Ortiz is back... That means the OCW Title picture just got a whole lot more interesting - can Harvey keep the title with Rust AND Nate on the scene. Gonna be a division to keep a close eye on, especially if anyone else steps up as a challenger as well. KD wanting in? Fuck it why not? 2) Who to face Antonio now? Would have loved to run it back with the man, but the Tag Classic calls the Jehst Man! I have no idea who is around on Xbox to fill that void but whoever it is better bring their A-Game. 3) Blacksmith vs. Caine video promo was 5 ACCENDI's out of 5. Love the effort these guys have put into this long term rivalry. And Caine's got a challenger lined up? VERY intrigued as to who that could be... 4) Holy shit, I really enjoyed Flojo vs. DD - such a great back and forth with that clincher at the end! I was actually so happy when Flojo pulled that off. I know the loss at Lution was probably a bit defeating Gooch, but keep this shit up man, good stuff. 5) Elliot Parker looks 10x fucking better with that face texture. And that attire is looking fire as well, you love to see it. Cool case too. Glad he's taking the case seriously and working his own spin on it. 6) Speaking of good matches, didn't expect Leo to come out against Aisu for the challenge, also didn't expect such a good match. Good shit, but Aisu 2stronk for the big man. 7) I don't think I'll be booked for Mugen's Beach Party but if not you can bet Jehst is gonna be renting a big fuck-off portion of the seating for a party-zone for H.U.S.A. and all the rebound hoes he can get past the bouncers. I enjoyed P3 fucking with Spider ahahahaha CUBEEEEEEE 8) Enjoyed the Doc Green promo...until Kareem came out. Nothing against the character or anything I just thought it was a little mismatched in terms of prominence and reputation when putting a relatively obscure alt (no real major storylines compared to other characters) against a former World Champion - BUT - on the flipside of that, his competitive record is indeed something that has flown under the radar. I just think that if this match goes down and Doc loses, it's a bigger blow to him than it is a bump for Kareem, mainly because of the alt status of the character. This might not be a popular opinion but it is my opinion, I still heart you boys. 9) Are Wrex AND Lee on Xbox now? If so, we've got another legit team to contend with. 10) Both Cort and I and GC both got screwed by the game in our match with targeting issues and tag outs that wouldn't hit, but in the end we lost to a formidable tag team. Congrats, GC. Long ass match, those two wouldn't stay down. And Lucha Country came out looking strong in their match - this TTC is already shaping up to be super intriguing. 11) BLUE CCW STRAP! YUSS! Looks dope. So does the new/old Face-17. I'm still wondering who's gonna be the first challenger...wait...is Nate actually aiming for the CCW title and not the OCW title? DUN DUN DUN!!! #conspiracytheory
  6. Also it must be noted that Danny Watts looks like Kurrgans little brother.
  7. SOME RIOT TAKEAWAYS FROM YA BOY RUDO: Don’t get in your fi-fi’s, these are just my subjective opinions on fake-fake wrestling. + Zoe Cohle makes an appearance and seems like she’s trying to motivate Rust, stirring him into a state of jealousy and rage. Interested to see if that banshee can convince him to turn on his friend or not - very intrigued. + I really REALLY want Sparks to come out into his own character but it still hasn’t happened. The LHW title is a goldmine to build character in the spotlight and while there was certainly an heir of arrogance in the promo with Everrett, I want some uniqueness and quirks to shine through - I still don’t know who TY is as a character, but I hope he develops him leading up to the match with Everrett. + JackMo using Wrex’s fin AND attempting to crapple a fin attempt… Damn son, no fucks given. I’m glad Danny wasn’t abusing the combo system/”keep em standing” this match, pretty decent outing from him. + I got all the respect in the world for KD as a legend but cmon man...so many FPR breaks in this one - extra moves, crapples... Cobra fought through it but damn, mans got played. I have to admit the KD promo drew me in huge to watch this match as a good promo should; “will he finally beat Cobra?” was the story told. Cobra deserved the W in that IMO and looked a lot better in the ring too. Still pumped on that attire. + Empress…*slow clap*. Jesus that was a beating, and against one of the better handlers too. That Imugenation on the ropes...Then the finish was perfect - played the character, didn’t thirst the win. Bravo, Empress, Bra-fucking-vo. Then the follow-up attack video after...THAT’S GOOD SHIT, WOAAWWW! + Cort vs Bobby was great. Back and forth action, worked on the outside, reversal battles, mixed up the moves, etc, great stuff. That Alabama Slam on the steps made me bite my fist holy shit dude hahahaha. + Ashley vs Flojo just got a hell of a lot more confusing. Flojo was heading in the Heel direction, even if just an anti-hero sort of role, against the Face Ashley. Flojo talking about how she doesn’t care about the rules then BAM! Heel Ashley appears for an ambush beatdown with a side of boos. Who am I supposed to be rooting for here? MEGA CONFUSION INITIATED. + Great Main Event - an interesting mix of styles, pretty clean too. Not sure how I feel about attacking people straight after the hit a move, I tend to treat it as a reset but hey that’s just me. TY’s entrance swayed me a little from my previous statement, added a bit of character, but still don’t know what the significance of the denim look is? Maybe it’ll start falling into place over time. Tre delivering 2 spears in this one to get the victory - looked strong AF throughout. Enjoyed it, good job gents. + BOBBY NO!!! I haven’t had a chance to fight you yet!!! *cries in Hollywood*. You better not be leaving Minio! But seriously, great promos tonight from Bobby, getting his fed-up mood across perfectly and I’m buckled into his rollercoaster after the show closing promo. Will we see a full heel turn - is he truly done? Will he make a surprise appearance at Lution after we think he’s truly up and left OCW? SO MANY QUESTIONS!
  8. I wish I had the time to do long form reviews again but sadly not the case anymore - respect to Valk for the review, and Empress for putting in words. So seeing as I can't do a full review, I'll drop a 5 things I liked post: 1) Love FloJo's new direction and attitude. I think Gooch has finally tuned into something that can be a very interesting character change-up from the dancing and bubbly FloJo. And improving at the game too. Watch out for FloJo this season. 2) Judge challenge was very intriguing to me. I love that he brought back the glasses and robes - I feel like they're very character defining. Pity about the loss, I felt like Judge had it in the bag. On the flip side, I am glad that Asher actually put a promo up - we'll see if him and Benji's feud develops into anything further from here, would love to see these two put in some story work cos both CAWs are great and they're both pretty decent at the game too. Hope this open challenge continues despite the loss. 3) Sparks winning the Triple Threat didn't really surprise me too much - I think a lot of people are sleeping on TY. Would not be surprised to see TY as LHW Champion come his time to shine. Just remember, Jehst has not forgotten. 4) Really enjoyed Doc vs Cort and Terra vs Empress - just easy to watch. Sometime I'll watch matches and just feel like fast-forwarding a bit but not these ones. Credit to the handlers really. 5) How about them CQC Boys! Very interesting booking here with the pair going head to head to see who will take on Mr. Turmoil as the next challenger. Great ending, I enjoyed it a lot to see that surprise. Reminds me of when there was not really any internet dirt sheets and a wrestlers return was a big pop moment. Honourable mention goes to Valk and Heathers RP - really enjoyed the heel/face dynamic here and it was a grand act to steal an entire trailer of shoes to give to the fans. Loved it. Also, if ya'll didn't catch the end of the Jehst vs. Parker match you will see me and Cort in the same ring - das right, I'm on EckBock1 now baybay!
  9. Yeah I apologised for the fpr break, it happened to me against Blacksmith last season as well (after a finisher no less). Held RT to drag away from the ropes, oops nope gonna magnetise to their legs for grapple move. Only fair to pick up n give Gooch a free hit.
  10. Just as a response to the cast: Post-Lution was a bit rough with everything I was involved in getting absolutely shat on, but Capo definitely took it worse than me. After he left I had the tag team direction taken away so scrambled to find a feud partner. Managed to find one that would've taken me into the new year but unfortunately they ran into some serious RL stuff, which meant I that was put off too. So I've just been floating through post-Lution feudless but hopefully next season I can get involved with some more people and put some good stories out. In saying that, anyone whose keen to feud next season hit me up.
  11. Random scattered thoughts: TY & B connection serves both characters well - it's been good seeing TY getting into an angle, and was good to get an RP in with him. The matches on this show were all really good, and especially Wrex/Malu, holy shit what a war! I popped for Spiders attire, been a long ass time since I've heard that music too. Empress has been the best foil for Valk ever IMO. She has had Showblitz and Blaine, etc, but Empress has taken it 2 new hights. I think the video work and the use of cutscenes and highlight reel stuff during the feud has been great. I don't agree about there not being anyone in the womens division that can step up to face Valk, I think that's a false narrative when you really look out at the womens roster as a whole. Heels on the roster, sure, there aren't as many, but now we have Aerith who's come into the mix, Heather is around, etc. But I really wish Ashley had stayed heel and used her briefcase more to keep on Valk's heels. Now I'm just rambling, but yeah. Tag team match was great considering the limitations that had to be endured for an online ladder match. Cide 2 Cide. I really hope some people come together to create great tag teams next season, there's plenty of people to do so. Let's hope 2K improve tag matches (insert "Doubt X" meme here). Salami wins the International Title. Shit, well...damn. Run with it, kid. Kass return was spoiled in gen chat and one of the other chats before I got a chance to watch the show so the reveal wasn't as impactful when I watched the Valk match but was still a "WTF?!" moment when it happened. Kidnapping is bad mmk? Jett vs. Code adds another potential upper-card fu-ed to Turmoil which is good as it buffers the top side of Turmoil which has been kinda lacking a little bit. I feel the roster on the blue show is starting to balance out a bit more. Yup. It's late, I'm done.
  12. Just a few notes before I head out the door. TY Sparks gained one hell of a rub with the story interactions and being aligned with B-17. Although he didn't win it gave him something to work with character-wise which he's been lacking. I enjoyed that whole thing. I don't get the Billy Saturn storyline and I hope he brings it back to the squared circle or gets involved with someone in a feud, just kinda feels like it's not going anywhere and dragging out a little. Main event was fire, that double stack BP was awesome!
  13. Appreciate the feedback, but do you think Jehst is a heel? If so, I'm not doing my job properly.
  14. The scene fades into the backstage area as we see Justin Jehst standing by with Stacy Clark, dressed in bright yellow and red. The crowd noise in the background elevates as they see the Hollywood man on screen. A RIOT coloured backdrop of dark-grey and orange hangs behind them. Jehst is chewing some gum, adjusting his yellow headband under his curly, wild locks as the crowd noise begins to fade away to let Stacy speak. Stacy: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here with Mr. Hollywood himself, Justin Jehst! Another pop emanates from the arena. Jehst lets out a cheeky smirk and moves a couple of steps closer to the microphone. Stacy: Justin, with the recent events going on outside the company with members of the Troupe, are you worried about Elsa right now? Jehst: Stacy, Stacy, Stacy, I'm not worried right now; y'know why? Cos she's with Aerith, helping her clean up Terra's diner. The attacker would be foolish to try a two on one against them! Stacy: Even so, will it be a factor in your mental-game going into your match with The Last Blacksmith tonight? Jehst: Stacy, I'm not gonna stand here and lie to you. From one pretty face to another, I can honestly say that, yes, it will be in the back of my mind; it always is right now. But I have to put that aside when I'm in the ring tonight! Jehst: Ya see I may be up against a man who never got out of his teenage goth phase, who looks like he listens to Cradle of Filth while choking and stroking himself at the same time, but Stacy, this man is a loose cannon! Jehst looks at the camera through his dark shaded lenses then back at Stacy. Jehst: He can be dangerous! Hell, he even went so far as to kick our current Women's Champion in the face! Do you remember that?! She nods. Stacy: I do, yes. Jehst: Then you know this man has no filter, no off-switch when it comes to his propensity for violence! If I want to keep these Hollywood good-looks intact, I need to be on top of my game! And that's exactly what I plan to do tonight! He takes the microphone from Stacy and stares down the camera lens through his sunglasses. Jehst: So, Blacksmith! Tonight, you’re facing a charismatic Californian! A man so handsome he has to fend off women and men alike! A man who is ready to put his fists and boots to good use! Tonight, you wrestle, Mr. Hollywood! And when you’re lying on your back, on the canvas, staring up at the stars that accompany me to the ring every-single-time I go out there, just remember -- you got the Hollywood Ending you deserve! Justin, brimming with energy and adrenaline, turns and swaggers out of frame as the camera stays on Stacy watching him leave. We then fade to black.
