Riot 609: Told Ya So!

ConTextually Convoluted

Quicker show than normal from my experience. There were quite a few things that stood out to me.

Drago/Dragana and all involved in those segments always bring a ton of great written content. The Perfect Storm/GM Team/Furiosa segments were well written and illustrate a delicate line that H20 is trying to walk. Nat Mac was all over the show, loved the shirt that the couple wore. El Parca continues to write his redemption story and shows his human side.

I am ready for the new attitude Christian Garcia and want to see how this association with Sheldon plays out. Speaking of Sheldon I would like to see him follow up on this self-doubt angle he has playing out and climb his way back to the top of the mountain again. Wrex sending a strong message to Doc about getting his title back has me excited for round two of these titans clashing.

I really enjoyed the matches on the card, though the main event was done perfectly from a finish perspective. Big fan and new fan of House of Faith, they have brought it strong. Overall excellent work and excited for Turmoil next week.

Video/Match wise show was super watchable to me. I don't know if the recent patch had any effect on anything. But the last 2 or 3 maybe shows have "felt" different than Summercide 2023 Everybody kicks out till 3 finisher fracas! Who knows more testing required I guess. As for the Text version of the show I was incredibly annoyed because it felt too chaotic to put everything in any kind of order for large swathes of the show.

I'm going to keep saying it but less is more. I don't expect anyone other than me to understand that from a show compiling perspective. And realistically I shouldn't expect anything seeing as how our shows are put together ALA Carte in the sense you submit content I try to put it where it needs to go as opposed to a formatted television program where I am telling whoever is involved , You are Segment 1, you are Segment 9 etc. It's just jarring to read someone in an RP Backstage then, some random other location later in the show. "PREVIOUSLY recorded" can help but it just becomes a crutch where someone will have a early match and a prev recorded segment goes on later.

And to be clear its not just this episode it tends to happen every now and again and it seems to be happening a lot more recently. At the end of the day its a great problem to have coming from 2 Role Play 2 Match Riots, or Turmoils with the same 5 people recycling alts. Even still we can be better by being mindful. For example if you as a handler is going to be used in someone's segment maybe don't do another segment or maybe incorporate what your doing to make sense with what your doing in the other segment.

"An example will be lets say H20 got assaulted again for being a water based idiot during the show? and he appears in another persons RP backstage probably a comedy segment or whatever obviously he should make mention or at least show some kind of assault damage because that makes sense" Generally that wouldn't happen and as a reader it pisses me off lmao.

Basically be MINDFUL of what you are putting out and what others are putting out with your name attached to it and adjust accordingly if you need to. On top of that keep spoils to a minimum Quartz/Jake is a Master of this. You know what you need to know and everything else works.

At the end of the day as I said in booking nobody would notice and or care so Cest La Vi.
--------------------------------------------------

With that said as per usual there's lots to unpack on any given Friday some standouts to me in no kind of order.

I like where ICEMAN and Tony is going good old fashioned Pro Wres based on mutual respect. This could be a banger or a massacre you never know sometimes.

The Harper Dragana stuff is neat, visually I see it in my head its incredibly unlikely duo but the whole Arc of The Cesar's rehabbing Kasstianity is wholesome to use RL as a visual its kind of like Judgement Day being less baddies.

On a Weird Meta level Dupree having a medical condition that puts him to sleep to protect him from stupid / unsatisfactory things is beyond hysterical. To me. At this point in modern day OCWFED might as well call him TibVanWinkle cuz mans is never waking up!

Both Air Rays segments were very solid. Wearing what I deem a burka (I know its not and I dont care) to cover his face after getting pearl harbored only to communicate through said burka reminds me of the droids from Star Wars to instant approve I'm a sucker for actual funny shit. I don't hate Air Rays leaning into comic book villain arc It's pretty mint. Sure as hell beats bank robbery, or Corey Gravries.

I wish I got to see JynX vs Harris but it was not meant to be. Woulda just got a replacement for JynX since my guy says he likes to fight lel.

The BOULET/Karmine saga is an underrated gem in modern day OCWFED. From a handler perspective both of these people get it I'm looking forward to the face off.

The Women's 3 Way was fairly exciting. In my head once Alyssa won I said to myself "I bet she pops shit" then it ended and I'm like "LOL THATS WHAT I GET" and then it came back to Alyssa poppin shit and I said " AHHHHHHHHHHH AHAHAA NEVA LOST". Good promo but more of the same the last time it happend literally nothing came from it so lets see if 2nd time is the charm. Speaking of Charm I find it charming the whole blaming "Mngt/Me" angle some of y'all are going with. LEAVE MY NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, cuz yall really don't want me to facilitate beatings, ive done it before and i'll do it again!!!!

H20 had 2 Rp's 1st one was fine 2nd one pissed me off. Or maybe its the other way around. 1 was enough ill say the one with Perfect Storm was the one I didnt hate.

Casa De La Faith Promo was excellent. Short, Concise, Informative, and pro wrestly!

The Mixed Match was very entertaining I thought with the length I was going to be annoyed but it held my attention from start to finish very action packed. I coulda sworn 3 fins got hit in this but I might be wrong and for the benefit of no rage I'm gonna pretend that if more than 3 was hit 3 was hit. That being said I didn't hate the post match but I didn't love it. The #1 Contender MACS getting clowned was not the wave. I understand gotta over come the odds but having the #1 Contender get Curled by someone we aint seen in over 2 years who is a tertiary character then on top of that getting toss over the top rope was wild and not in a good way. LESS IS MORE, easier way Sneak scoop on ICEMAN, Marisa gets in she gets curled slammed or just Also Body slammed same effect achieved. If Mac don't get hit his hit back ima be tight.

Dragana, AJM , Franklin = LOL. Simple to the point Man really hates flowers b.

Wrex in 2023 hits different and said as such in his exchange with DOC. These 2 are the upper echelon of OCWFED atm. I'm legit looking forward to the 2/3 the logical progression. Given how the meta joke of Wrex gassing out early in matches to where is now. This is going to be the test. Excited

I see Horse and Rusty are going into the "Pew Pew" Territory. I don't hate it tbh as long as its truthful. VP was like OHH, OHHHH OHHHHHHH. Cuz its actual factual over a what 4 and 6 actual year career between both of them about a decade and change of experience. Rust don't really be having stinkers and horse already shocked the world at Lution. So there's some stakes! I wonder how predictions will be for this lmao. Guess we will see next week based on the C-Note match!

Didn't hate The Claude Clark Effect, the N64 Intro pops me. I like the dichotomy of Benjamin - C-Note - Franklin being the brash annoyed guy vs Claude who now has a target on his back has to be on his P's and Q's while trying to stick to his word and become a better person. Only C-Note to keep poking the bear knowing he can't do nothing what a BULLY. I didn't hate Momma Hall but in my mind eye (they not gonna hit his momma they not gonna do that) They did that . I mean Tropes exist in wrestling for a reason its when ppl circumvent expectations that I pop! Either way as expected Momma Hall got pwned and as expected ppl got fined and suspended. I feel bad for Claude but we can't have nothing nice here!


The Danny Watts turn was unexpected hopefully we see something or maybe a triple threat IDK. At 1st I was like "he's not joining DNS!" then BOOP nope he isn't. Speaking of DNS while its comical Samsin has gone from The Try Hard Scumchester Graduate to infected to now kind of a silly side char I didn't mind it but hopefully things develop after The DNS / FI Saga Wraps up. I feel like DNS is fighting on all fronts and its all over the place a bit. It's like the opposite of Ragnarok lmao.

Main Event was very sports entertainment. I like Shianne's slow ascent in the Women's division and I am eager to see who walks out of the Femme Fatal Fatal 5 Way Elimination as the victor! Match was hard hitting and using a Flojo potential cash in but not really as an excuse for DEBORAH to pearl harbor Shianne was neat. I say this but I also ad the caveat I don't mind these things when used sparingly. Especially in this sense it works with the whole UNDEFEATED horseshit she's been spewing since the Queen of the Indies. So when she finally takes a 3 second tan its gonna be big!

The issue becomes ppl see this and say "OH I CAN DO THAT" No no you can't you can ask and you will probably be told no. Just something to be mindful of "I GOTTA LOOK STRONG BROTHER" doesn't apply to 99.4% of you.
